The Bicycle Disease,
Physicians are now very generally
turning their attention to the bicycle
.craze. They think they see in it a se
rious menace to the well-being of the
rising1 generation. It has been the
origin of a new form of disease, which
they denominate kyphosis bicyclista
rum. which, being rendered into plain,
everyday American, means the bicy
clist's stoop. The acquirement of this
stoop, they tell us, is not a mere mat
ter of habit, which, with ordinary
watchfulness, may be guarded against
or thrown off at pleasure. It is a real
disease, the evolution of which is like
ly to give us a round-shouldered,
hunchbacked race in the ncai future.
Nor is this the worst. The bent posi
tion which is assumed by bicyclists, in
order to secure the greatest amount of
power over their machines and to at
tain the, highest degree of speed while
running them, is attended with an un
natural flexion of the spine which ap
pears in the region of the back and
causes not only unsightliness in form
but in boys of fourteen years and
under is fraught with serious and
possibly fatal consequences. In those
over that age the result of the stoop
is to produce permanent curva
ture of the spine and consequent
deformity. It has also malign effects
on the heart, lungs and other vital
organs, the free and natural working
of which is interfered with by the un
natural form acquired. No good rea
son is forthcoming why this condition
of affairs should exist. The fight of
these physicians is not against the bi
cycle itself, but merely against the
popular method of using it. The doc
tors fully recognize and freely admit
that in itself the bicycle may be not
only a delightful means of recreation
and a useful mode of locomotion but a
pleasant method of ministering to the
physical -well-being through healthful
exercise and the enjoyment of an
abundance of fresh air. What they
complain of is that the ambition of the
average bicyclist of the day is not the
securing of health nor the enjoyment
of outdoor exercise, but the attain- I
ment of such proficiency and speed in
the working of the machine as will
make its owner conspicuous among his
fellows. This is a record-breaking
age, and nowhere has this record
breaking mania taken a firmer hold
than among the bicyclists of the day,
both professional and amateur. No
body will have to discard his bicycle
to escape kyphosis bicyclistarum. All
that is required is that an erect pos
ture be maintained while the bicycle is
being used, and such a posture it is
quite possible to maintain.
Clementine Bind was the first Vir
ginia woman to engage in newspaper
work. She was the widow of William
Rind, of whom Jefferson says in a let
ter: "Until the beginning of our revo
lutionary disputes we had but one
press, and that having the whole busi
ness of the government and no com
petitor for public favor nothing disa
greeable to the governor could be got
into it. We procured Rind to come
from Maryland to publish a free
paper." After the death of her hus
band Clementine Rind kept up the
paper, with the assistance of Jefferson
and Patrick Henry, till her death in
1774. They obtained for her the colonial
printing and enabled her to support
herself and her four children.
Cabeful inquiry into circumstances
antecedent to collapse during' torrid
weather shows that in rare cases only
has actual exposure to the sun been
responsible for the disaster, and it is a
fact that nearly as many cases occur
after sunset as at midday. Eating1 too
"heartily of heating- foods, with free
draughts of hot coffee, is justasdan
jperous as exposure to the sun, and it
is a well known fact that the scholars
in two large public schools in England
who are never allowed to wear hats,
indoors or out, are never badly affected
by the heat.
A Feench physician, who has studied
the habit of nail-biting- carefully and
scientifically for some years, announces
that the practice, which he dignifies
with the name of onychophagy, pre
vails to a deplorable extent among- the
school children of Paris. More than
one-fourth of the boy pupils in the
public schools are confirmed nail-biters,
and among the girls the percentage is
larger. The habit, the doctor said, is
, due to nervousness, and he proposes to
cure it by means of hypnotic 'sug-g-es-

Statehood for Indians.
There is said to be a movements on
foot for admitting the five nations of
civilized Indians, namely:, the Chero
j kees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks
1 and Seminoles, to the privileges of
statehood. The total number of these
at the last census was 60,289. Nevada
and Wyoming have both a smaller pop
ulation than this, and it seems that
good reasons may exist for carrying
out this suggestion. It is a well
known fact that those who have to
trust to the generosity of others to
look after their rights find little satis
faction in their condition. There have
been many allegations made with re
gard to the perfidy of the pale-face
brother in the matter of rations and
other supplies, doubtless not without
due and suCcient reason; but if the
Indian is to share withf his negro
brother the anomalous position of pos
sessing the franchise without being
able to avail himself of its chief bene
fits, as is pretty generally admitted to
be the case with the latter, what will
be the benefit of statehood to the In
dian?
In a paper on "Vocations," a woman
writer suggestively says: The fash
ionable sin of to-day among women,
whatever it may be, is not idleness.
To a student from Norton or South
Hadley, Wellcsley or Smith, idleness is
simply an impossibility If years of
thorough methodical, intellectual
training have not formed habits and
tastes ior work, they have resulted in
nothing. The lazy woman in a wrap
per, yawning half a day over a novel,
may still exist in stories; out of them
she is not often found. The reality
and contrast is a trimly-dressed, quick
stepping little lady, calling early at
the butcher's and grocer's, considering
the economies of beefsteak and of but
ter bills, of wages and the price of
coal, while on her way to her reading
club.
In some New Hampshire districts a
new device has been introduced on
guide posts. In place of the hand or ar
row, pointing the direction of the town
that i3 named on the board, the way is
indicated by a stencilled picture of a
galloping horse.

TnE fishermen on the Maine coast
are slaughtering many seals in these
days. Ihcy receive from the state a
bounty for every one killed. Although
they are not fur-bearing animals their
skins have some value. The treasurer
of North Uaven paid bounties on forty
eight seals that were brought in sever
al days ago by two Indians.
Very large amounts of private gold
coins were formerly minted in this
country by individuals. Rcid, of
Georgia, the Bechtlcrs, of North Caro
lina, the Mormons of Utah, and sev

once did a larg-e business in this line.
One of the most remarkable blind

It is said that Admiral Tryon, of the
British navy, had dined and wined
heavily before giving the fatal order
which caused the sinking of the war
ship Victoria and the sacrifice of over
four hundred lives besides his own. If
this statement be true, it adds one
more to the long list of shocking
calamities due to alcoholic indulgence.
Mrs. Conrad Felham. a woman liv

of good fortune are rare, indeed.

Bureau of Information.
5 "The Burlington" has recentlv estab
lished in a convenient quarter of its ele
gant and commodious passenger station,
at Ohicago. an office designed to afford
travelers information on the thousand
and one things they need to know, with
regard to routes, rates, connections and
accommodations. It has been placed in
charge of an experienced man, supplied
with all railway guides, maps and time
tables, and is known as the "Bureau of
Information."
It is a place to which all travelers may
apply for information and receive a fair
and correct answer. This is the only
office of the kind west of the sea-board
cities, and it cannot but prove a. help
and convenience to the traveling public.
All trains of the "Burlington" enter and
depart from this station, and the intelli
gent and valuable service of the Bureau
may be enjoyed by all patrons of this
line.
A special pamphlet will be issued by
the "Burlington" in the near future, giv
ing accurate information as to "How to
get to the Worlds-fair grounds;" "How
to secure rooms and board at the various
hotels, boarding and lodging houses."
Trustworthy agents will be at the C,
B. & Q. depot in Chicago, to impart all
information to visitors. Arrangements
will probably be made by which some
trains will be run direct to the World's
Fair grounds without change or delay.
