Moderation in eating is a neces- sity in muscular work, as is also absten- tion from alcohol. The bicycle should vary in details for the man, the woman, the child, the racer and the invalid. As to the woman, this exercise is easier for her than for the man, since she is more supple. It causes far less fatigue than walking. Its effects on the pelvic organs are good. The child does not feel so much fatigue as the adult, but it should use %he bicycle with the greatest moderation. As a rule the courier understands his limitations well. He should, like all ath- letes, possess perfect organs. As to the invalid, many ailments are improved or even cured by the use of the bicycle, e. g., gastro-intestinal troubles, deformities of the vertebral column, etc.—Leslie’s Week- ly. 2 — Thirty-nine Indian boys and girls have Just recelved their graduating degrees at the Indian schools in Carlisle, Pa.
