FOR EVERY BICYCLIST.
Champion Michael Advises Use of Fame's
Celery Compound.
Jnmes Michael is the champion long
distance bicyclist of the world.
He recommends all wheelmen to take
Paine'8 celery compound.
His exp?rience is that of thousands of
others. With the opening of the bicycle
season many a young person and hun?
dreds of ohler people who have determ?
ined to take up bicycling as a health-giv
ing exercise find themselves really lack
iug the proper "snap" or stamina to be?
gin on. Their bodily condition prevents
so spirited exercise. They would like to
ride, but they are out of sorts, run down
by a winter of work or indoor life. Many
who are really sick, who have suffered
from debility or wasting diseases for a
loim time until they had begun to think
their troubles" hail become chronic, as
nothing gave them relief, would turn to
bicycling for relief.. But this splendid
' exercise, like any other, requires strength
to undertake. The blood is out. of order,
the nerves are deranged, and nature's
food fo" both is needed.
All Buch persons will find to their im?
mense joy that Paine's celery compound,
taken now, will make them well.
Paine's celery compound works won
ders in the spring. If you have labored
under the load of repeated headaches,
neuralgic pains and days of nervous de
bility, now is your best time to get well.
Michael is to day the most phenomenal
rider in professional ranks. As far hack
as 1804 he was undisputed champion of
Great Britain, and in the following year
he went to France and scored 25 straight
wins against the picked riders of Europe,
lie has defeated such famous men as
Jacquelin, Gougoltz, Huret, Rivierrc,
Bonhours, Bourrillou and Barden of Eng?
land, and Ley ten, the Belgian champion.
He has just returned from Europe and
is now ready to join the racing men on
the Pacific coast, despite the large amount,
of work he has goue through during the
past months.
Michael has made cycle racing a care?
ful study and is in a position to give ex?
cellent advice not only to racing men but
to wheelmen and athletes in general. In
reference to his own methods the follow?
ing letter will interest everybody:
Boston, Mass., Feb. 21. 1807.
After the exertion of my record rides
while svith the Morgan <Sr Wright team
in the South last winter, during which I
lost somewhat in weight, on account of
the unaccustomed climate, I \vasadvis?d
to use Paine's celery compound. 1 am
pleased to say that it gave such satisfac?
tion that I was impelled to use it again
to brace up from the effects of the two
unusually rough ocean trips that I have
taken during the past month. I believe
that wheelmen who have to undergo the
hardships ot "circuit chasing" will find
Paine's celery compound of assistance in
keeping up their physical tone.
JIMMY MICHAEL.
Every one .needs to take a spring rem?
edy to purify their blood, arouse the cir?
culation and counteract the debilitating
effect of months of couQuiug work,worry
and excitement.
The more intelligent portion of every
community are the ones who best recom?
mend Paine's celery compounil. They
have looked into this great reined}', f?l
loweil its remarkable achievements in the
case of frieuds, neighbors and relatives,
and know just, what to expect from its
use as a nerve and brain strengtliener and
restorer and an ideal invigorator for a
run-down svstem.
TO MIXE GOLD.
The Appalachian Company Will Extend
Its Oi)erntions.
Atlanta, Ga., March 31.?At a meeting
of the directors ol" the Appalachian Gold
Minim: Company held here to-day it was
decided to erect' at once n chlorination
plant, the plnnt to be completed within
lire months.
The president was directed to employ a
large number of additional miners to
open up the large veins heretofore neg?
lected and to sink additional shafts on
the richest portions of the property. It
ir, believed, and predicted by mining ex?
perts that the. output of gold from this
section will, in the near future surpass
that of any other locality in this country.
UNDER ANOTHER NAME. *
Chicago, March 31.?The Western
Tariff Bureau is to be the name of that
which is now called the Western Freight
Association. The text of the new agree
incut, which has" been prepared by a com?
mittee of trunk ltns officers, was sub?
mitted to-day to lawyers for the lines in?
terested, who will examine the document
with a view of determining its legality ill
the light of the Trans-Missouri decision
of the supreme court. This agreement is
defined to be for the purpose of arrang?
ing," providing and distributing joint
tariffs and rates, to make satislucfory
division of joint rates between the com*
panics over whose line the joint traffic
moves.
GROWING MORE HXCITIXG,
Jackson, Miss.. March 31.?The condi?
tion of affairs in the Mississippi Valley
grows daily more exciting, and it is
probable the worst has not been experl
encep. One or two more big breaks, one
of them 1,000 feet wide, occurred in llol
ivar county last night, and the waters
from the litst joining forces with three
other streams are now rushing towards
the south carrying destruction to houses,
barns, gins, fencing, live stock, etc.
HEAVY SXOW OUT WEST.
Omaha, Neb., March ^81.?Because of
heavy snow for the past twenty-four
hours, hardly a wheel has been turning
on any railroad in western Nebraska and
the same condition applies to districts in
iiolorada, Wyoming, and the Black Hills
of South Dakota. It is expected that the
rotary plows will get through tho drifts
finmo time to-morrow.
M'CLELLAN'S WARHORSE.
Soaietlilng About Hun, the Only Charger
the General Rode.
General McClellan's favorito war
horse, usually called Dan, was a dark
bay, about 17 bauds high, well bred,
with good action and never showing
signs of fatigue, no matter how long
the course. He was an extremely band
some, showy animal, with nioro than
ordinary horse sense. Dan was a very
fast -walker?an important requisite in a
commander's charger?but a disagrco
ablo accomplishment so far as his staff
were concerned, us thoir horses in gen?
eral wero kept on a slow trot.
After tho war Dan became tho family
horse at General McClellan's country
homo in Orange, afid seemed to bo proud
of his position, performing his duties
well and easily. On one occasion, when
driven to a neighboring estato by two
ladies of the general's family, and left
untied, as usual, ut the door, Dan came
to tho conclusion that they had remained
long enough for an afternoon call, so,
declining to waste any more, time there,
ho trotted back to his stable, carefully
turning out to,, pass carriages and other
vehicles met on tho way home. Dan
died and was buried in Orange.
Tho general said of him: "Dan was
one of those horses that could trot nil
day long at a very rapid gait, which
kept all other horses at a gallop. Ho
earned from the aids the title of 'that
devil Dan'?a name that ho justified on
many it long and desperate ride before I
gave np tho command of the Army of
the Potomac. Dan was Hie best horse 1
ever had. Ho was never ill for an hour,
never fatigued, never disturbed under
fire. The dear old fellow survived t lie
war for many years, dying at a ripe old
ugo in 1870, No matter how long we
might )>e parted?once for nearly fohl
yours?he always recognized me the mo?
ment we met again and in his own way
Showed his pleasure, ntseeing nie. Even
Oil the day of his death, which was a
painless one, he still attempted to rise
and greet me, but, unable to do so, lie
would lean his head against mo and lick
my hand. No soldier ever had a more
faithful horse than I had in Daniel
Webster. "?Our Animal Friends.

tied For Thin l'urpose. ?
When electrical plants wore first in?
stalled aboard ship, lead incased cables,
run in ordinary molding, wcro used al?
most entirely, and in enso of iron ships
tho hull was frequently employed for
tho return circuit. The latter method
soon passed out of use, for it not only
increased tho tiro hazard, but was in?
efficient mccbauietdly, and also liable
to give riso to disturbing influences on
tho ship's compasses.
Lend incased conductors in ordinary
molding were used on tho first two
United States men-of-war having olec
trio plants?tlip Trenton and Omaha?
but with unsatisfactory results in each
case. In tho latter ship, tho electrical
plant of which was installed by the
writer in 1884, tho lead incased port
and starboard mains passed throngh
holes bored in live oak knees, one hole
to about each six feet of rnn, and tho
writer lias a vivid recollection of the
difficulties encountered in boring several
hundred three-quarter and half inch
holes through about eight inches of
gnarled oak; very nearly as hard to
pierce as somo of tho tougher metals. It
is perhaps needless to say that the cost
of labor and tools was no small item in
the cost of installation.
Lead incased conductors were finally
discorded, except in some special work,
as tho protection from injury to tho in?
sulation and from moisture, which tho
lead sheath was supposed to give, was
found to bo illusory. Dents caused
short circuiting on tho sheath of tho
conductors, while punctures, permitting
tho entrance of moisture, led to bad
grounds as well ns short circuits.
At tho present day what may ho call?
ed a composite system for tho installa?
tion of tho distributing conductors is
employed. Equal security in all parts
of tho installation is tho object kept in
view, and to obtain this several sj'steins
arc blended together as one. While
molding and flexiblo conduits nro used
in the saloons and cabins, tho conduct?
ors in the machinery spaces and holds
aro run in iron coduits, which aro thor?
oughly iunsulated on tho inside, and
special fittings aro employed in passing
through the decks and bulkheads. Spe?
cial water tight switches, cutouts and
fixtures aro also used wherever there is
expo8uro to the weather. ~" *" ~"
