WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.

From the Gaietta. Delaware, Ohio. The healthfutoesa of bicycle riding for women is a disputed question. Used in moderation it surely creates for women a means of outdoor exercise, the beuefit of which all physicians .concede. Used to excess, like any other pastime, its effect is likely to be dangerous. The experience of Miss Bertha Reed, the seveuteen-year-old daughter of Mr. J. It. Reed, 335 Lake street. Delaware. Ohio, may point a moral for parents who, like Mr. and Mrs. Reed, have experienced some concern for their daughters who are fond of wheeling. In the fall of TW Miss Bertha, who haul ridden a great deal, began to fail in an

She Rides Well.

' v ' len ' le examined her, he IY watched her closely, but her V pulse continued at that rate for ♦wo weeks. lie was satisfied then, from her high pulse and steadily wasting condition that she was suffering from anaemia or a bloodless condition of the body. She became extremely weak, and could not stand the least noise or excitement. In this condition of affairs they were recommended by an old friend to get some of that famous blood medicine. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They did so, and almost from the first dose Bertha began to improve. She continued to take the pills and was by their means made entirely well, and more grateful people than her parents cannot be found. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have proved a boon to womankind. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, they restore the requisite vitality to all parts of the body; creating functional regularity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system. The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the blush of health; the eyes brighten; the muscles grow elastic, ambition is created and good health returns.

DIDN’T MIND BULLETS.

The Judge Liked an Argument Too Well to Be FCased by a Shot. During the day I had attended court, where a lawsuit of considerable importance was on trial and which was not decided until (1 o'clock in tli'e evening, says a writer. Then I went home to stop for the night with the judge wl» had the case in hand. On the way home we were stopped by a man, who said: “Judge, it is quite likely that the loser of that suit will shoot at you through a window to-night to secure revenge.” “Yes, quite pleasantly replied the judge, as we passed on. At-the supper table his wife appeared nervous and uneasy, and before the meal was concluded she said: “Alfred, a man has been seen in front of the house acting rather suspiciously, and I'm afraid he means you harm.” . “Yes, I’m afraid so, iny dear,” replied the judge and then took up the conversation she had interrupted. After supper we adjourned to the library, and by and by, as we sat at the table with a kerosene lamp between us, there arose an argument connected with the political question. “Sir,” said the judge, as he grew heated by opposition, “they may bring all their sophistry to bear on the question, but nothing will convince me that——” At that instant I felt a hot streak along my left cheek, and the lamp chimney was shivered into a hundred pieces and the light went out. The judge rang a hand lndl which was within reach and I thought I hoard the notes of the bell befpre the report of a rifle in front of the house. A negro man came running in, and the judge said: “Julius, bring us another lamp.” When the lamp was brought I looked at the judge. He had not changed in the slightest. “Wasn't that a bullet which broke the lamp chimney?” I asked. “Very likely it was,” he replied, as he looked around. “And wasn't it meant for you?” “I presume so. There it is, in lire back of a law book. As I was saying, however, sophistry Is not argument, and those champions-—” “Excuse me, judge,” I interrupted, “but tiie next bullet may kill one of us.” ' “Oh, they never shoot but once, and I want to convince you that your position is untenable. You see, to begin with, the Democratic party ”• But liis wife came in and insisted that he give an alarm, and the argument was never finished.

LOSS IN THE MILLIONS

ENOTMOU3 DAMAGE DONE BY RAGING FLOODS. Indiana and Ohio the Chief Sufferer* by Inundation* Which in Some Secti ns Have Reached an Unprecedented Height—Traffic Suspended. People Driven from Home. Flood damage reaching into the millions of dollars is reported throughout Indiana and Ohio. Thousands of families are homeless and many of them are dependent’ upon charity. Many cities report that the water is at the highest stage ever known. Illinois. Missouri, Pennsylvania and West Virginia also report rivers turned into raging torrents, but in those States the damage thus far done is comparatively insignificant. Two railroad wreckfe have resulted from washouts. One was in Ohio, where a Baltimore and Ohio passenger tt-ain went through a bridge near Frazeysburg. The other and the more serious one was near Columbus, Ind., where a wrecking train met disaster. Property loss in Indiana will exceed $1,000,000. Al) the streams are overflowing their banks, houses and railroad •racks have been washed away, and grow ing crops have been seriously damaged Near Greensburg, the loss of two lives is reported. Franklin has 200 homeless families to care for, while Shelbyville has 300 and Rushville 150. These are simply sample figures from entire hoosierdonr. At Warsaw the canal gave way and tile business section of the city was threatened, while at Shelbyville the levee proved too weak to withstand the raging waters. Throughout central and southern Ohio all the railroads are either crippled or totally disabled. The damage in the State may amount to $1,500,000. Dayton reports the conditions worse than at any period since IStiG, when the central part of that populous city was inundated. Delaware has four business blocks under water and a much wider territory threatened. Canal Dover is cut off from the outside world, and unless the waters soon subside many lives will be placed in jeopardy. The list of homeless in Zanesville foots up to 4,000. In Columbus 2,000 persons are imprisoned in the upper stories of dwellings in the western part of the city. They are surrounded by nn artificial lake, but. as the water there is said to be subsiding, they will soon be released from their peculiar imprisonment.

Aa idea of the flood conditions in various sections can be gleaned from condensed press dispatches given below: Indiana. The White river is still rising. The Richmond electric light plant is drowned out. Dams at Palestine and Oswego are reported in jeopardy. The canal north of Warsaw overflowed, flooding the entire vicinity. Between 100 and 150 Rushville families have been driven from their homes. At St. Paul, the Bickhart flour mills have been washed out and destroyed. The property loss in Decatur County is about •SIOO,OOO, and two lives have been lost in the flood. Several bridges on the Big Four and Cambridge railroads are out, as well as ten miles of roadbed. The loss to the farming community around Shelbyville is estimated at from SIOO,OOO to $21X1,000. Many important towns are temporarily cut off and trains have been entirely abandoned on some roads. Tire northeastern section of I ndianapolis is submerged, and many people have been driven from their homes or forced to the second stories. Between thirty and forty miles of track of the Louisville division of the PanHandle are washed away between Louisville and Indianapolis. Indian river and Young's creek have broken through the levees, flooding rhe northern and western parts of Franklin and sweeping many houses from their foundations. Two hundred families are homeless. Oh io. Hundreds are homeless at Newark. At Cincinnati the Ohio will probably •each fifty-five feet. Floods have caused a shutdown of nearly every factory in Hamilton. 11. C. Ross was killed as a bridge cob j&psed in Muskingtuu County. Four thousand Zanesville jx»ople have been driven from their homes, and few of them saved any household effects. Four squares of Delaware business houses are under water, and scores of wagon and foot bridges have been carried away. Nearly all'railroads in central and south, ern Ohio are either crippled or totally disabled because of washouts or destroyed bridges. , The Tuscarawas river has broken loose in one of the biggest floods ever known, and Canal Dover is entirely cut off from the outside, world. The levees which protected the west side of Columbus against ordinary floods are submerged. Fifteen hundred or 2,000 persons were driven to tie upper floors of dwellings situated in an artificial lake. A bridge over the Wakatomika creek at Frazeysburg ga've way while a Baltimore B.nd Ohio passenger train was crossing, and the whole train was submerged. Passengers crawled to the tops of the cars and were soon taken away by farmers in skiffs. No one was seriously injured.

Trait Plunges Through a Washed-Out Trestle in Indiana. Shortly before G o'clock Wednesday evening a work train loaded with officials and workmen plunged through a trestle one mile south of Columbus, Ind., on the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Severn! were killed. The men had been at work repairing the track, which had been washed out in many places by the high waters, and were on their way to the southern part of the coad. The work train had pnssod over the railroad bridge just south of Columbus and the engineer opened the throttle. He thought the danger was pnst. Following the engine was a combination coach, with seats in each end, the middle for baggage. Behind this was a caboose. The men were all in the coach. Just r a mile from the railroad bridge was a frame trestle, which had been weakened by the high water. Upon this structure the train plunged, and almost instantly disappeared from sight. With a hiss the engine sank In the yellow flood. The caboose, in the rear, jammed into the coach, imprisoning the workmen. Then began a struggle for life. The window panes were broken and the men escaped with broken limbs and bruised bodies. The engineer crawled to the top of his boiler and lay there until rescued, with both legs broken. The fireman caught in a tree in the river. The accident was witnessed by a throng of sightseers. The work of rescue was conducted under the greatest difficulty. Just a few minutes before the wreck occurred a train load of Madison teacherc on their way to the Southern Teachers' Association at Terre Haute passed along.

Spring Medicine

These two words emphasize a necessity and indicate a remedy. SPRING—the season when the blood is most impure as a result of the winter's closer confinement, higher living, slower action of the kidneys and liver; when humors ot all kinds, boils, pimples and eruptions are most liable to appear; when the weak, languid condition of the whole bodily structure demands and welcomes help. MEDICINE —that to which the millions turn at this season—Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The original and only preparation especially adapted to the present needs of the human family; that which makes the blood pure and clean, as shown by its thousands of wonderful cures of dreadful blood diseases; creates an appetite and cures dyspepsia, as shown by its “magic touch” in all stomach troubles; steadies and strengthens the nerves, as proved by the people formerly nervous, now calm and selfpossessed, thanks to

All in the Eye.

Dr. Fitchett, brother of the eslilor of the Australian Review of Reviews, was a member of a colonial parliament wherein one day a certain eccentric and elderly member-named Taylor insisted on making a speech on education. The oration consisted of a hyperbolical eulogy of the board of schools in Mr, Taylor’s constituency. Din-tor Fitchett interjected some jocose expression of doubt. “Why, sir,” said the irate Taylor, turning upon him, “at this very moment I have a school in my eye ” “No, only one pupil, Mr. Taylor!” retorted the doctor, and the orator’s eloquence was drowned In laughter.

A Recent Discovery That Is Working Wonders. The most prevailing afflictions that for a. century have been engaging the most scientific skill of the medical world are rheumatism, neuralgia, catarrh, asthma, la grippe and their kindred ailments. The country is full of sufferers from these complaints. Although! the most learned experts of the medical profession have tailored for a century to produce a curative, until quite recently no ]x>sitive results were effected. To tile Swanson Rheumatle Cure Co., 107-09 Dearborn street, Chicago, belongs the credit for having produced the new remedy. It is being ex-' tenslvejy advertised under the trademark of “Five Drops."

The Rule of Three.

Heart disease carried off a Brooklyn man the other night. An old friend was so shocked at the news that he purchased poison and killed himself. His sister then went to the druggist who sold her brother the deadly dose and gave him a piece of her mind. The druggist, whose heart was weak, 1«‘came excited and dropped dead.

ANTHOUSES IN AUSTRALIA.

Mounds In Which Millions of the Insects Live. One mound In particular, a groined columnar structure, was eighteen feet high. This was not far from Fort Darwin. The discoverer believes Unit originally the mound was conical In shape. The sides were smooth. It has evidently been In use for many years, and the columnar effect noticeable, he believes, Is due to the fact that tile ants, Incessantly traveling the pathways up and down the mound, .produced the grooves that are seen and resulted in giving the effect of a columnar tonnation. Tlte entrance to the mound, examination showed, had varied in location, for there was distinct evidence that apertures of tills sort had been walk'd up In several Instances. The Interior of the mound referred to showed as much as any tiling the remarkable instinct of the ants. It was divided up very much after the fashion of the tall buildings which are now becoming so common, w ith an Immense court within the structure itself -that is, there were hundreds of tiny cells built in from galleries which were terraced one above the other. The galleries were connecttsl by paths or stairways, each of these being constructed with architectural exactness. The cells remind one, the explorer said of the cell of a monk. The earth in each Instance was as hard and smooth ns marble, and bore evidence,of long continued usage. A portion of tile ground floor, or basement, of tiio mound had been divided Into store rooms, and here It was evident the ants hnd carefully packed away the provender which they hnd sc-
