Q
Dangers of Bicycling.
'me Homeopathic Medical Society of
Philadelphia held its regular monthly
meeting on Thursday and a paper was
read by D1. R. E. Tomlin on the sub-
ject of "The Relationship of the Medi-
cal Examiner to the Insurance Com-
panyfl’
The effect of bicycling on the heart
was a prominent point in the doctor’s
paper, and provoked quite a discussion.
Dr. Tomlin said that many men and
women are going to their long homes
through injudicious riding. They do
not start off and ride gradually, they
I start oil" on a jump. Long continued
and injudicious riding is a greatmstrain
on the strong heart and will result
in permanent organic lessons.
W'hile moderation in riding was con-
ducive to good health, the doctor
claimed that even in persons of tuber-
cular tendency to phthisis in rapid rid-

consigned to the'limbo of what might

regard it as a victim of excessive cor-

Since the editor must exercise a nice
sense of judgment, and realize that
among contributions some are called,
many uncalled, and a few chosen, it is
desirable to learn what the editor is
certain to accept. Strange as it may

siderable feat of making the editor’s
eye sparkle. “The first question asked
is,” she says, “is it news ?‘ What the
people want must be the criterion——
not the IV. C. T. U. women, not the
ministers, not the tradesmen, not the
brewérs, but the people. Their motto
is the greatest good to the greatest
number.” Surely this is the_voice of a
new Portia and a new Daniel casting
an X-ray into the sanctum. The speak-
er truly said that news is welcome,
even ina poor garb, but sentimental
rhapsodies and long-winded reports of
unimportant meetings are not wanted.
“There is no such thing,” continued
this Portia, who must have been an
editor herself, “as a friendly or un-
friendly press: it is - wholly impartial;
but he would ,.

‘
FEMININE CHAT.
Soft felt hats in Alpine shape, with
scarfs, are the latest bits of rainy day
millinery worn by modish women.
As soon aswe see some simple article
patented and making a fortune we al-
ways feel mad that the idea didn’t oc-
cur to us.
A' woman is responsible for the state
ment that members of her sex do not
indulge in real heart to heart talk, as
men friends do.
The woman who fondly declares that
she- would rather die than wear a
made-over gown is not apt to be de-
luged with matrimonial offers.
A man’s intentions may generally be
sized up ass-arious when he calls again
after the young woman of the house
has played the banjo to him.
Many a. woman is blamed f01 inter-
fering between husband and wife when
she would be the happiest c1eature
congenial basis.
It does seem as though the average
woman promenader purposely stands
at the inter section’ofthe'streets when
she,and three or four other friends
start in on a prolonged conversation.’
The surest way to win a woman ’s
sympathy for a murderer is to have the
woman for whom he has committed the
crime turn against him, as in the case
of Thorn and Mrs. N ack. But even
that is no excuse for a deluge Of
doughnuts and other dainties.
When you have quarreled with a
man and decided never to look at him
again, isn’t it embarrassing to have
him sit down in the vacant seat next
you in the street car.
The book~loveis who hover ove1 the
stands on w hich old temes are to be had
for a few cents seem perfectly oblivious
of the rain falling on their heads or
the wind blowing their shabby gar-
ments about unmercifully.
The rats used by some young women
to make the fashionable pompadour
have a horrid way of squirming about,
so that when the hat is removed the
unhappy feminine looks as though her
coifiure were built on the bias.
Much Sweet-er Than sugar.
The newly discovered chemical sub-
stance, .sugarine, or benzol-sulflnid, is
likely to have an important influence
upon commerce in several directions.
Unlike saccharine-which never became
very popular, sugarine contains none of
the obnoxious para acid. It is a chem-
one-twelfth the cost.
