I therefore propose to consider only one of the forms of exercise, namely, bicycling, and that only in its relation to the treatment of some forms of nervous disease, xercise when prescribed for nervous affec- tions should preferably be taken out of doors. ust also be combined with pleasure and uid be prescribed not only with the view of gthening the muscles, but also for its effect effect upon the mind is often of greater impc tance than the effect upon the body. The feeding of the mind on self and the continual menia! introspection Which is so common in neurasthenia, hysteria and hypochondria should be combated by pro- scribing an exercise which necessitates the stre upon the mind. Thi pleasurable conc 2 of the mind on what as beng done, something which demands a cer- tain amount of skill for its sstul accom- plishment and which must therefore divert the Is, stumulate the meatal faculties im a normal direction and en- gender a feeling of brain rest and mental re- freshment, uci: results can be obtained by the proper use of the bicycle. The facility with which almost any one can learm to use it, the exer- ise of skill required in g and control- ling its course, the exh hb comes from rapid motion, the continual change of he pauorama of the landscape and the exer- of almost every muscle of the body make it an apparatus which not only developes the body butis far more potent in stimulating a heaithy cerebrai activity and in arousing the mind from a lethargic condition than any med- iclual remedy hnown to me, In wn individual with a strong and vigorous nd who is accustomed to take a great i of out-door physical exei small an- ances aud even troubles and griefs of con- derable magnitude are borne with a mental courage and fortitude which ordinarily can be Lut feebly reproduced in those who are physically undeveloped. There is 2 buoyancy of spirit in the strong and healthy which rises superior to the onslaught of troubies, while the individual of sedentary habits or who never has felt the courage which goes hand in glove with health and strength succumbs sooner to the troubles which fall to the lotof nearly every man and woman. In the bicycle we ob- tain a combination of physical and mental exercise which meets the requirements of the case more thoroughly tan auy other form of treatment. Six of the patients referred to al- ways speak enthusiastical y of the benefit they received from the bicycle. ‘They returaed from their rides physically tired, but mentally refreshed. Comparing these cases with other similar cases who did not use the bicycle. I am forced to admit that the recovery of the latter might have been materially accelerated if the bicycle had been prescribed. “As comfort is essential to pleasure and con- tentment, a bicycle should be selected which combines fine workmanship and smooth! ning parts, with the least amount of vib while traversing rough or uneven roads. A b cycle which works stifily, or which ‘squeaks, or where the saddle is uncomfortable are often matters which, though trivial to the healthy in- dividual, are of the vance to the sick. One of ical man, was one day so annoyed by the continual ‘squeak, squeak,’ of his pedal every time it re- Voived ‘that he finally burst into tears, dis- mounted. left his bicycle in the road and re- turned home in the cars ina highly hysterical condition, t the present time the pneumatic-tirea ma- chiue is the most comfortable. Rongh roads can be traversed on it with very little jar or vi- bration. It is particularly to be desired for women. In riding the body should not be inclined d, at least only toa very slight degree. In racing, undoubtedly, greater speed can be attained when the body 1s bent almost at right angles with the legs, but with the invalid in search of health itis different. ‘The attaiu- ment of great speed is not the point to be gained. He should sit in a natural aud easy position, with the chest out and the head weil up, so that respiration cam be carried on to the best advantage. “If physicians would study the bicycle asa remedy “and prescribe it intelligently they would often find it exerting a beneficial influ- ence far in excess of their expectations.” ComrontaBLe CLoTmixe For CycLists. The aversge bieyele rider believes in wear- ing comfortable clothing while ou his wheel, and especially when he is off for a long jo but the appearance on the street in racing cos- tume, on « wheel that is intended only for racing is considered bad form by nearly all the riders.

A peculiar case in regard to tho bicycle is to be brought into the courts by a Bridgeport doctor. The general statutes provide in Con- necticut that » physician's horse, harness, sad- die and buggy shall be exempt from attach- ment, and the question at issue ts whether » bicycle, when nsed for the same, purpose, is entitled to a similar exemption. case re- ferred to arose out of the attempt of arepsirer to collect n bill for $49.50 for repairs made to the wheel of the doctor, which Lill the man of medicine was unable to pay, and for which judgment was taken by the creditor, who seeks to satisfy same by attaching the machine r paired. Under a strictly literal interpretation Of the iaw we cannot see how the bicycle could claim exemption; but as the intent of the law manifestly is to protect the conveyances of the physician from being taken from him, and as at the time the law was enacted bicycles were not the popular conveyances that they now are, perhaps an appeal which is to be taken to th supreme court in the present case may at lai give to the “steel horse” of poetic fancy an actuali egal existence. Apvick To BEGINNERs, “Beginners are very apt to get discouraged soon after they begin. Itis so much barder work than they thought.” says a bicycle paper. Now, Mr. Beginner, this is just what's tho matter with you. As soon as you can make the thing stand up you fancy that you have caught entoitall But you haven't. The first few times you go out on the road the strength you expend in doing five miles would take you fif- teen miles if rightly used. You tug = at the handle bars, you yank your frout wheel this way and that, you jam down the pedal | too soon and you stop jamming too late, and | you flop your body first to one side and then the other to preserve your balance. This super- fluous tugging, pulling, yanking. jamming and flopping 1s what tires you out, and not the pri pelling of the machine. Your experience is that of every beginner. Don't give up. Keep right at it. It’s the only way. Much sooner than you think your finger tips will attend to the handles, your legs will work automatically and you wilihave no more consciousness of keeping your balance than you have when you wi Waxs oF Riptxo. After all how foolish it is to attempt to do- clare which rider it is that getsthe most enjoy- ment out of cycling, says the League Bulletin. ‘The racing man is positive that his is the only way to accomplish this; the scoreher sneers xt tho racer aud says the road, uot the track, is the fair test of both speed and pleasure in eycling; the tourist pities both and revels in explori the byways of his owa and the bighw foreign lands; the club man will teli you that you kuow nothing of enjoyment until you have Fidden with his club mutes on a club run; the slow and easy rider understands not how there can be any controversy on this point; he knows | his methods are the only true ones to garner | all of the pleasures there ix in the sport, And so it goes, all down the long list of the vario kinds of riders. Each in his way is right,so far as applies to his own case, or to those who think as he does; each is wroug when he uecides because scorching, or loafing or touring suits him best that it must in consequence be the Lest for all the other users of the wheel.

They deny the claims set up by the market company under | the ordinauces of the corporation and say while the wholesale market has been under the clerk of the Center Market that | ofticer bas been ender the direction of the Commissioners, and they deny that under the approval of Gov.

The Commissioners d that a deficit of $26,000 was caused by the | action of the defendants’ officers and tn: board of public works perinitted a to use the space for an asphalt refinery for fit- | teen years, by which the wholesale business was diminished, and says it never admitted any liability on such account, nor was there any demand made ou them. The defendant admits that the erection of six four-story houses added to compiainan revenues, and that they were torn down | by defendant's order in 180 because they were dingerous, While neither admitting nor den: ing that the remission of charges on bay and | other teams against complainant's protest it | stetes that if true it was in xccordance with its right under section 16 of the act of May make rules and regulation: tion to the contrary is an encroachment on the | rights of the people.

Editorially it says: “Let every one who has expressed indignation at the wastefulness, incompetency and mismanagement which have disgraced the present administration of Mil- waukee’s municipal affairs work for the oust- ing of the ring, aud the business men’s ticket nominated last Wednesday will be triumphantly elected.” This is setting a good example for other cities to follow. It is a sure cure fur bad roads. Liants Urox Bicrcres. Lights upon bicycles are intended more as a prevention of accidents than anything else, saysa bicycle paper. It is useless to expect from the very nature of the vehicle itself and from the smaliness of the lamp any other than just a sufficient amount of light to prevent the wheelman from running into or being himecif run over by other vehicles. Such being the primary and real cause for the existence of a cycling lamp, the first thing to be considered is the securing of a steady an: rather than an exceedingly brilliant one.
