I Another note of warning has been sounded in retard to the possible evils of cycling. Under the soim-wh .t ambiguous title of "Hidden Dangers of Cycling," 1 an alarmist article recently appearad in the National Review, pointing out some ol the risks of injury to health to which bicyclists are liable, and darkly hinting at others which are likely to be incurred. The hidden dangers of the exercise, in j the opinion of Dr. Shadwell, threaten, I women, and more particularly young' I women, and the prediction is made that I in the course of a year or two quite a dif- : j ferent story will be heard concerning the i ! health-giving properties of cycling. A 1 few cases of serious breakdown that came under the author's notice are cited, oue : | a girl who developed exophthalmic goitre i I as the result of a long ride, and which j I became chronic. Appendicitis and in- | i ternal inflammation are also laid to the j charge of the wheel. But the complaints to which the writer in the National Review chiefly wishes to draw attention are ) the various forms of the ill-defined ner- I vous effects resulting from even a moder- I ate use of the bicycle. The contention ' j is made that the harmful mess consists as much in excess as in the strain on the 1 nervous system. The proposition is lai«l j down that overexertion is quite inadequate to explain the effects from which many cyclists suffer. The symtoms are essen- I tially nervous, and point to a cerebral and j not a muscular origin. The theory brought forward as to the cause is not the saddle, the vibration, or mechanical defects of the machine, but its instability and the constant strain required to keen it in an upright position. I)r. Shadwell holds that this incessant tension is that which tells upon the nerves. 4:08 P.M. PUNXSUTflrWNE.Y, Pflr. J. B. Eberhart, 4:08 p. n.

Sun. | Perhaps it would be just as well to suspend judgement upon Hawaii's offer to submit to arbitration her differences with Japan until all the facts are known. It is by no means clear yet that the sudden reversal of Hawaii's decision not to arbitrate was an evidence of strength and not of weakness. " It is by no means clear yet that the tone of Japan toward the Hawaiian Government had not been such and is not such as to make the offer seem like a surrender under menance, rather than a volun- tary and well considered proposition. It is not certain yet that, as matters stand, the offer of the Hawaiian Government, through Minister Cooper, was not a mistake, one of the very few mistakes of policy or diplomacy which can be charged against President Dole's wise and firm administration undei circumstances of peculiar difficulty. One thing, however, is very clear: The annexation treaty was sent to the Senate of the United States not a day too soon. (4. WING KMT, ATTORNEY.] itatrator'g Notice.

Administrator, C.T.A. 5trt Ad mi Means' Pharmacy [New York Sun.J Silver fell again yesterday, following no doubt, the plans of tht> goldbug conspirators against the human race and the Hon. Coin Harvey. The great white and grand old buzzard dollar was worth 45.14 cents yesterday. The Democratic candidate for Governor of Iowa says the sacred coin may come to be w orth ten cents. At any rate, it is tolerably cheap and therefore ought to be ineffably dear to all Democrats, Populists, anil Silver Republicans. Vet every heart that is true to silver must feel that the unfeeling conduct of wheat in climbing toward the ridgepole while bar silver is tumbling into the cellar deserves investigation and reproof. Shall the gigantic conspiracy of the Money Kings De allowed to continue unrebuked ? Shall it not be investigated by a commission consisting of the Hon. Coin Harvey, the Hon. Adoniram Judson Warner, the Hon. Squinch Curd, and the Hon. Hez Lung ? The duty of every sincere raiser of wheat is clear. He should scorn to accept high prices which come as a bribe from the plutocratic enemies of the human race and the Chicago platform. As long as the gold dollar is allowed to pursue its nefarious career, the price of wheat must be kept down. And no man should be compelled to be prosperous against his principles.

He unscrewed the cap from the valve and then glanced about to see if any one was looking; then he squeezed the tire, put his knee on it, and tried various means to get the air out, looking, meanwhile, to see if the owner was coming. He finally had to give up. Mr. Wright said to Kx- Marslial Hendrick. "Talk about bad boys. They wouldn't have done that fifty years ago." Mr. Hendrick, evidently a believer in the boy of to-day, answered: "Oh, no; they didn't have bicycles fifty years ago." Street car (are paid to and R. E. BROWNELL, Prop'k, from Pmustttawney.
