Tlie Dangers of Cycling.
" Of course the warning against
the dangers of the bicycle has come.
It was due pome time ago. With
SOC,000 bicycles sold during the
pas-t year it was inevitable that the
physicians should begin to trace
ailments to their use. Every
modem invention has had to bear
ft, similiar responsibility. We have
the railroad spine, the telephone
ear, and the electric light eye.
And now a young man has died
from cerebrospinal meningitis, at
tributed to excessive use of the
bicycle.

Of course the wheel should not
be used to excess. One physician
remarks of women that "if you tell
them to take a fifteen minutes'
spin they ride to San Jose." When
anybody goes at the sport like that
there are likely to be unpleasant
consequences. Lemonade is a re
freshing and usually harmless
drink, but a gallon at a time might
produce painful consequences. The
wheelman should alw'ays stop while
he feels fresh and vigorous, and
should be canful to avoid undue
strains and jolts. With these pre
cautions he will probably he as
good an insurance risk as the man
who sits in an office and moralizes
about him. San Francisco Ex

(;enerai Campo6 "recognizes An
. . ,
toni. Maceo's exceptional ability
to take advantage of his political
opponents' weakness and careless
ness." This tribute from the
Spanish commander to a leader of
men whom the average Spaniard
classes with barbarians is strangely
like that which another warrior, an
interloper, too, like Campos, paid
a eoofl many centuries ago to a
race of men whose intelligence
and bravery the world was destined circulated in McMinnvilIe on Fri
to know more of later. Said dav last for the purpose of render-

fight arranged themselves for the
conflict. "In war, at least, these
men are not savages."
The similitude extends farther,
In the reports printed 111 the
Havana papers, the war news
columns of which Campos and his
staff edit, though the Spaniards
are said to win all the victories,
yet the Cubans, it is related, do a'l
the attacking. Pyrrhus, going
over the field after the battle the
battle of Heraclea and noticing
that the dead Romans' wounds
were all in front, the significance
of which circumstances he quickly
grasped, exclaimed, "If I had such
soldiers as those I would soon be
master of the world." The Span
ish commander, when representing
the Cubans as always fighting on
the offensive, gives, consciously or
unconsciously, these formerly de
spised enemies very high praise.
It ought to be plain by this
time to the Spanish government
that a people whose soldiers show
such courage as this, who are led
with such skill and who manage
to maintain themselves under such
disadvantages, will sooner or later
conquer for themselves all the
rights they seek unless some of the
other colonies, will find the job of
conquering the insurgents no easy
