eschew overindulgence.
Don't Allow Tour Wheel to Bun Away
with Your Head.
Moderation in cycling is as necessary
as in everything else, and particularly
bo because it brings into play new set
of muscles and blood vessels in certain
parts of the body which are entirely
unprepared for the usual strain.
The fascination of bicycle riding is
the strongest objection to the sport,
on account of the danger of over exer
tion, and for this reason those who
take it up for improvement of health
become so invigorated and dilightcd
with the exercise that they who should
be the most careful are generally the
ones who overdo it. Entering violently
into any exercise is bad, and so is cy
cling, for the reason that it gives the
heart more to do than has been custom
ary; but, of course, by going into the
exercise gradually, the heart grows
stronger and is prepared for exertion.
As for the lungs, cycling cultivates
a good habit of deep breathipg, and does
a great deal to btrengthem the muscles
of the back.
There is no other exercise that is so
quieting to the nerves and which at the
same time brings into play so nicely and
so gently the many parts of the body
without giving violent work to some
particular set of muscles. '
Cycling induces those to take outdoor
exercise who have never taken it be
fore, and is the best exercise that can be
taken; but let the beginner beware of
overindulgence and. persist in the
pleasure and safeness of moderation.

EDITORS FOUGHT A DUEL.
Results Were Mot Particularly Disastrous
to the Participants.
The old editor had the inside track
and was doing the talking.
"I never had more than one duel," ho
began. ' ' ' '
"You speak as if one were not
enough," interrupted the listener.
"It was an ample sufficiency, con
tinued the editor, with a smile. "I was
at the time of its occurrence 22 years
of age and the editor Of the Smugville
Vindicator. I was ateo a kot -headed
youth, with a yearning for gore and
glory. In the county adjoining mine
was a 'loathsome contemporary' of
mine, built on about the same lines l
was, and it wasn't more than a year
after we, had been contemporaries until
we were in n fine row. He would write
scathing editorials, and , so F would , I.
and finally we dropped our pens and
took up pistols That, is, we agreed to
fight a duel. ' " "
Fortunately for us we 'had. friends
who were" more sensible than we we,re,
who took charge of all arrangements
for the bloody affray. It was decided
by them that the duel should take place,
and that we should fire two shots at
each other, the weapons being double-
barreled shotguns and the distance ten
paces. , That suited us exactly, for w
were extremely bloodthirsty and
wanted each other's gore In large quan
tities. The fight, was to take place n.
six o clock in the morning, in a se
cluded spot, and we were there prompt
ly with our seconds. Oar instructions
were to fire the first shot after count'
ing three, and if one or both survived
another shot might be fired as quickly
as the principal could get his gun ready,
"That made it a regular rough-anil
tumble for half the fight, and also made
it more interesting. It isn't necessary
for me to go into details of what I
thought "just before the battle, moth
er;" suffice it to say I thought writing
scathing editorials was preferable to
shotguns at six a. m. However, wc
kept our nerve and took our place
ready for business. And I think we
meant business, for we took aim right
at each other. Then came the count
ing, and finally the deciding 'three,'
and bang! went both guns at once. 1
felt as if I had caught an entire cur
load of shot from my face down, and I
tumbled over on the grass. What hbd
become of my opponant did not greatly
concern me at that supreme moment,
for I was wondering why I was net
dead.
"In half a minute the doctor was feel
ing me, and after a minute or two more
he said I had been miraculously saved.
and pulled me to my feet. Evidently
my opponent had also been miraculous
ly aaved, for he was standing about ten
feet-away from me with his doctor,
and the sight he presented made me
forget all about the duel and break
Into tears of laughter. It appeared to
have the same effect on him, and he
began laughing at mo. Then we both
got mad, and in five minutes we had
licked seconds, doctors and everybody
rise on hand and run them clean out of
the woods.
"This being accomplished, we Khool;
hands and took a look at ourselves in
a gloss, which had evidently been
brought for our benefit. Permit m
to omit an clnboratedpNcription of what
we looked like. Those confounded ae
onds hal loaded our suns to the muzrle
with printer's ink, and the war It was
splattered over us was enough to have
made us laugh at first, and then I irk
fh crowd that had put up the Job on
us. However, we had showed we had
sand, and the Jokers kept In hiding
until we announced In our respeeilve
PIts that all was forgiven and the
hatchet was dead and burled. That ws
my only duel," continued the editor,
"and I am extremely glad that the runs
were loaded with Ink Instead of buck

SCOTTISH CHARACTER.
Humor Is Its Principal Trait, Says
"Ian Maolaren."
The Seoteh Are Koted Alio for Their
Caution and Enterprise Their
uevonon to tne House j

Rev. John Watson ("Ian Maclaren")
recently delivered a lecture in Edin
burgh cn "Certain Traits in Scottish
Character." '"
Mr. Watson said the first trait in the
Scottish character was the sense of hu
mor. A Scotsman, he said, would have
touched the very highest reaches . of
charity when he was able finally and
without a grudge to forgive that Eng
lish humorist who said that a surgical
operation was necessary to get humor
!nto the head of a Scotsman. And it is
a curious thing how a single phrase
should continue from generation to
generation and be perpetually flung in
their laces. It was mentioned ns if M
were new, which was intolerable; but
what was far more intolerable, it was
regularly mentioned as if it were true.
They must not judge of the sense of hu-
rnor in
a people by their manner. If
t0 Bdd sadly such, it appeared to him,
were the Scottish people. When a jest
was presented to n man of Scottish
nature, he was not going Inum-diatcly
to accept it, and pass it on as a Jest by
laughter. With the analytic character
of his nature, begotten by long study
or political and religious questions, he
paid it honor. A more important thing
to rcmemtier waa that humor in differ-
ent countries, waa different, and that if
It were the ease that their religion and
were so large. In the strict sense of
wit, he imnglned they weuld agree that
the French had the moat delicate fir inh
and flavor for their humor in Europe,
Again, the Scots had no claim t'i Hint
brilliant sword-plnv of renartee which
wsa so characteriHtie, not of the Hifli-
limn t ell, but of tho Irish Celt. U s
Impression was that though English
wit ltn;l not either the subtletv or the
brilliancy of French aud Celtic humor;
It hiil an i leim nt which wuh most ad
mirable the clement of down right

tun. ii tiiey in ricotiatitl nstl liml in
the putt more of that simple element
that they call fian, his Impression v.u
tlist they had been a sweeter and s hit j
pier people.
I'ertiapa the next characteristic of
the Scots waa what In their enfeebled
English language might bo called - uu
tlon, but which, In the admirable d a
lect of Scotland, waa called "ennnl
neas." The Soots were not an Imuul
site nntlon. They were not a nation
carried away by emotion, nor rnthusla
tie until once arouaed; and after thnt
the Scottish nation burned like sn an
thracite coal furnace. The cannlness
of the ballon came out in the afiltit ncc
j of their vocabulary In expressing them-
eelvea. in the brotamau s reserve, Imnt
of the hardiueaa of the soil, there lay
a great strength, for It wss not the

LUSCIOUS WATERMELONS.
A Branette Statesman Tells Bow
the
Melon Should Be Eaten.
"You want to know something about
the watermelon crop, nnd not politics.
Well, bless your soul for that; it is a
relief from the awful monotony of cam
paign talk.
"Alabama watermelons will be ai
good this year as they ever were," says
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "and per
haps better, but to eat a, luscious melon
is most interesting. Never cut a wa
termelon; it spoils it. Let it drop and
then pick up the pieces and eat them
with your fingers. Just Iniiigine biting
a chunk out of the ripe- red heart; the
heart that sparkles all over with little
globules of honey water, end when you
get it in your mouth it evaporates nml
disappears, but leaves there the sweet
est taste that drives care nwny - nn'l
makes the whole world sunshine. But,
t course, I'll admit that to establish
that feeling for any length of time it
necessary to eat more than on
melon.
"Yes, I have eaten the hearts of nine
melons without stopping, but I reckon
could finish several more. When I
made that record the supply gave out.
and I had to stop.
'Teople in the north, I understand, do .
not eat the-seeds. If they had a stom
ach like mine, made In the boiler works,
they could eut most anything, nnd 1
am particularly fond of the seeds, ns
they nre the most nutrit ious."
