"It Istands to reasan." continued Mr. Putnam, "thut after a wav business day is over hu cannot find limfc to inaulge both in his favorite pastime and In literary pursuits.

One or tha ot ner must necessarily suffer, 'and at the present moment it is the library which ha given way to the although I htve been a financial loser from the. reent mania, I am and have been an er tbusUstia cyclist, for the pa ft eighteen yeais ihce tha days when the first Colombia wHieel wjs Irought out. At thist time the bicycle waa looked upon an a pu'Mic enemy, arid Kreated accordingly. It was then impossible to ride down Broadwtiy without belngihooted and cursed by aa tngry mob. NoW.

the lablea are turned, and the biyclis rules the day, and a wed-deserved revenge It Mr. jpqtnaai was of the! opinion that the present, effect of bicycling on the book trade would only be temporary. His theory is the increase of wheeling rc eans at the same time a geijeral jncrtase of vigor iiid good health aioag jthe -people. Once the first and present ptjase of the questiia is ever, this renewed vigor will exhibit Itself In a practical panner as people once more return tokheir libraries and books, which they wil have been all this better prepared to 'jenjoyj Mr. Putnam is Inclined to believe that while the bicycle has produi ed a temporarily disastrous effect on the Of books, it has, in the other handj been decidedly beneficial to the dally pres and, particularly to the Sunday newspapers, far, although a mart -or woman would generally be disinclined to oivsn a book kfter the fatigue, of the wheel, the desire forj liewrpaper reading would, on the contrary, Ik?

Mr." I utnam observed that bne of the most btneflclal results of, the fincreast In wheellnir was In the ultimate Exclusion of the from cities and towns, which in the 'interest of public health was a thing much tc be desired. By bringing about the diauseji ir the horse-in large I centres of populatioa the bt cycle lis eltecang an enormous advance in siviixxaUow, be thought7 i- i A member of tha firm of E. Dutton, on being interviewed concerning the possible intiueniM of cycling on the book trab ex-Iresaeil the opinion that In his parHcular claaa of business the bicvele had produced no change whatever, either" good or bad.

On the ivhole, the firm's business had been rather, more favorable than I i usual this Spring. The gentleman acknowledged, however, that it would bo ditllcult for his business to be affected, as Us principal trade was in holiday bocks, a (class which could hardly be lnllueneed by Kdwln VV. Morse of. Charles Soribner's Sons declared that his firm's business had been good for the past few months, and that the bicycle appeared to have been beneficial to their book trade ratkr than oth erwine. He admitted that he Tould give no explanation for this assertion, but was convinced that the trade of his firm had not been injured, but.

was as good as might bo expectifd from the general Condition 6t buginecH throughout the country. Mr. lnxid of the firm of Dodl, Mead Co. echoed in substance Mr. Morse's assertion that bicycling had.

If anything, im-nrovect the book tradp. though there had ben appreciable difference in the selling department during the last few months, as compared With the corresponding period In past years. A member of the firm of Teent Brothers, booksellers, 61 Chambers expressed himself most decisively In the roatter and exclaimed, with emphasis: Bicycling Js a killer, and ho mistake! Its Influence on our business has been deplorable to -such an extent that we lost more money In the past four years than made In sixteen years before; and bicy- uuuuuuiruiy me coier, ir not the only, cause of the trouble. i Moreover. the evil is ever' on the In-creasa as the price cf bicycles decreases and the terms of payment become easier.

How there can be two opinions on the subject Is more than I can understand. There is said to be a capital of invested in bicycles in the City of New-York alone. Iton't tell me that all the money spent in this manner does not affect our trade. Just look at them any night going down Sixth Avenuo like a line of "battle. that I object to a moderate amount of the wheel In tha Interest of ood health, but what I do condemn is this mania, which is nothing but a fashionable fad, and which drives men and women away not only from- their books and intellectual pursuits, but from other eleVatlng pastimes, like the theatre and concerts.

Yet I see no prospect of a lessening in the evil and fear that the "book trade will BO from bad to worse." A member of the firm of Harper Brother gave tbe opinion that the increase in cycling had had no appreciable effect on his firms business. He personally favored the wheel, and thought It a strong factor in the onward march of civlHzatlon The business In his firm was Just steady as ever and he certainly had no blame to place on the favorite recreation of. the day. What Mr. Keener Fonnd la Mia "Well.

The Butler (Ala.) Herald, i Informed that while digging a well nthern part of the county recently Mr. Keener unearthed, the ekefeton of a large shark at the depth of something over ninety feet froni the surface of the ground. The bones et the skeleton were all in the proper place, and were la a state of almost perfect preservation, i Mr, Keener lias some of In his possession, and they are of Immense size. The entire neighborhood ts pussjed for a reasonable theory as to how the bones of this monster of the waters got to; such a depth under the ground. Our Informant also stated that the well was dug ninety-eight feet before reaching water, and when water was struck It rose in the well atip rapid a rate that tha roan who was had to abandon the well quickly to prevent thai water from coming over htm.

At a depth Of forty feet the water began to drain out through a crevice In the side of the wall, thus preventing a further rise. ii i i i i I ji Both Candidates Baptists.

In th absence of Chanctiltpr MacCrackea an address was made by Prof. Henry M. Baird, ho spoke, of the prosress of the university nd of recent sifts to It. There has bten, he said, a grtat increase la the number of Students in all depnrtmmts of tne university, notably ia the Law School, which, In the past ten years, hiu increased jits aumber from to 200. Its Increase in the number: of post-graduate students was likewise a fact worthy of notice But tho niost Interesting subjects to the jut nlversity at larg-i, Irof, Balrd laid, were ithe two donations, both of them munificent, which bad been received during the past acedemla year-; one amounting to $273,000 for the new library buiidingj and the other, for tha first Residence Hall.

Both of these buildings are In (course of con-v structlon, and the new dormitory will, w'hen completed, be the equal of any col. dormitory In the country. Prof. Baird ritmarked that there were indeed two or three most sunrptvioua and luxurious halls at Yale, but the luxury of these establish- pments was not only useless and wasteful. but possibly harmful (o the best Interests of the The donors of these sums of money have not been made public, but It is taken, "for granted, both among graduates and under graduates of the college, that the gift of 2T3.000 for the library is from Miss Helen M.

Gould, who was recently seen viewing the new structure In company with Chancellor MacCracken. The -Kegistrar's report dwelt principally on the rapid increase of students, who numbered 1,223 in all departments last year. The reports eoncernUig the Incoming freshman class were most favorable.

Several graduates expressed the sentiment that th university had made wonderful stride In the past few years. One alumnus staled that he- vas graduated twenty-two years ago in a class of thirteen only. A noteworthy feature of college life In the university Is the excellent feeling; that exists botween students and professors. As an example of this, the different classes ae In the habit of playing baseball against a nine chosen from the The last game of the kind waa betwen the seniors and the professors, and the euniora were victorious. The graduates had nothing but -words of praise for Chancellor MacCracken, and particularly commented upon his wonderful success in securing large gifts of money for the university.

It was currently reported among the alumni yesterday that large donations might be expected In tha near future, and Miss Helen M. Oould'a name was again mentioned as a possible contributor. APPEAL FOB SUEKMAX'S MOS'UMEXT It Shosld Be Artistically Worthy of the Soldier It Honors. President J. Q.

In tha. Hebrew language there are four names for roan adam, geber, enosh, and lsh. It Is usually understood that the second title confers a higher dignity than the. first, that the third ia nobler than the second, and that lsh Is the most precious of all. The latter three have plurals gebarirn, anashiin.

When humanity feels as one; when the loss and sufterinK of one district bring forth active aid and sympathy from every city, town, and hamlet in the country, then their unity cf purpose receives the approval of th Almighty: Attem keroyun adam," Ye are called Thus may the cltlzfiis of America through their assistance to storm-wrecked St Louis how themselves worthy in very deed of Cb title given to the first human the Letter, From Th Boston Heeald.

The saas-an of excessive fiat sure to occur at some period of the immer always sets afloat in the, press considerable discussion concern leg Summer beverages. Of these the most Important Is pure water, frequently water cooled with Ice. and we are warned with more or less emphasis to abstain from ltd free use under certain, penalties.

As to Ice wetor that Is, water in which Ice la constantly melting we would join In the Interdict, unless It ia drunk with proper caution and with aa tmderstandlng of lu true danger These are, first, the sudden flooding of the stomach with a large quantity of icy fluid when the body is oppressed with heat; the natural temperature of the stomach Is 102 Fahrenheit, and that of loe water Ia 83. Th halt pint or more of Jce water drunk, rapidly cannoi tall to causa a chill. Second, when th fluid is taken profusely it. may drive the blood to the brain and through the capillaries' ia such excess as to occasion congestion, The third," and more remote, danger from the use cf ice water, even In moderate is from infected ice; frees lug does not always destroy poisonous gwmH as boiling does, and the Ice may be gathered from water contaminated with the drainage from hams or outhouses or from sewage deposits. Pure water placed In an la a covered pitcher or stoppered carafe, will become cool enough to drink In a eJiort time.

Some Of the iuiproved refrigerators contain a porcen water tank for tnaintalnlng a continuous supply of cool drinking water. Water in a porous earthen Jar, piaced in a draught of air, will ripiuiy cool to a pleasant temperature. This is th.j method followed for coohrig water in th Such porous jars are now sold in the Oriental stores In all our targe cities. Cool water slowly drunk, so that the mouth and throat are cooled by its absorption, may be taken freely and at comparatively short Intervals. Small bits of Ice cau be eaten without injury.

A sharp pain at the back of the neck, at the base ot ths brain, or at the supraorbital spaces, above the eyes. Indicates a ichiU of the nerves, and warns against further eating of ice or drUikicg of ice water. It Is- lik eating Ices and sherbots; the safety lies in the length of tiro occupied in consuming the fluid. The celebrated scientist Mattleu Williams drank three gallons of spring wa. ter during a stiff mountain climo without any ill effect.

Ha Imbibed slowly and suffered no inconvenlenco. i Not onl- ia ice, but In water, must look for gtjwag contamination. Sometimes the purest In appearance la dangerous frcnt this-cause. The simplest test Is that of Heisch put a teaepoonful of purs loaf sugar In a clear, glass-stoppered bottle; add about a half pint of the water to be tested; cloao the bottle, shake It to dlssolv the sugar, and place It In a sunny window for two days. If there is any milky or cloudy appearance, the may be considered Impure; If It remains dear, it may be used without anxiety.

Filtering will remove solid impurities from water, but to overcome poisonous conditions only boiling. will suitlce. As some persons consider boiled water insipid, it may be aerated by rapidly pouring It from, on pitchor to another In an aunospheru free from dust. Water that has remained la uncovered vessels living rooms is not tt to drink-. The Japanese or Chinese water, coolers protect drinking water from all contamination by duat or the air, and also keep cracked ice unmelted for a long time.

The manufactured ice now in general use is free from germsfof and may be used safely with distilled or filtered wa-ter. The water from old; wells la towns that have grown In population is apt to cause local epidemics from ithe organic matters filtered through tha ground from drains and sinks such waters iause diarrhea and dangerous fevers, When there is no other water available It wojild be better to collect rainwater, allowing the first washirifl from the roof to pass-out of the tank; but this slight accumulation of dust would bs comparatively Innwcuocie, Bain water near cities might accuiriulate organic' deposits from the passing winds or smoke, or salt from the atmosphere near the sea. Rain falling far from dwellings contains oxygen, nitrogen, ammonia, and carbonic acid among Its chemical elements i that which is'gath-ered toward th end of storm Is the purest and best. Water froniimeited snow is pure, but apt to be insipid because of its freedom from mineral elements and gases. Ot the well-and spring waters, the soft contain potash and siKia; the bard waters contain lime, magnesia, the phosphates, and sulphates; they are apt to disturb the digestive organs.

By boiling hard water, the objectionable elements can be precipitated, and the pur water may then be poured from the sediment. In the lima or gypsum of hard water hardens vegetables caseins; succulent vegetables would, soften, too much in soft water If salt were not added to it, losing flavor and nutriment. From a 'sanitary point of view, pure, moderately hard waters are brighter, clearer, and cooler than soft waters, and less apt to absorb organic 111 or contagion of any sort; the lime in small quantity is wholesome. Government commissions in Europe have decided on moderately hard water aa favoring longevity. -Th sanitary effect of pare water la so well understood that we cannot but marvel that so many persons drink whatever happens to be brought to their dwellings' without Inquiry as to its source and mode of transport.

Among the pleasant and wholesome hot-wrather drinks are the following: Champ AO Ma Cup. It Is made In a tail glass pitcher ef th tankard shape.

Th first wtory is to be of stone, sutd the remainder of brick and -iron.

The facade on Fifty-ninth Street and the side on Sixth Avenue will be finished largely in terra cotta. The clubhouse will front over i'Xt feet on Street and 2f feet on Sixth Avenue, with a twenty-focrt extenalon in Fifty-eighth Street.

It now remains to be seen what new management "and care In the selection of members will effect toward the rehabilitation of this organization. It seems hardly possible that In ibe-short space of three or four years, an organization so well known and prominent as the old Manhattan Atb-letio Club and ihroua-h which so many men became almoet noted figures la the community, should now be almost forgotten, while It firt officers and managers have faded from the public gaze. Tlie new club, which was founded on it ruins; wa not a success from the start, and It is generally thought in club drrlea that the projector of the Knickerbocker Athlatlo-Club have acted very wisely In dissociating their new organisation from the nam of tha old. -1 There Is some talk of a new country club on-Long Island within very acsible distance ot the city, to la founded and builtj rp in such a way as to rival Tuxedo, It la hardly feasible that such a plan should succeed, there are no parts of Long Island which have tha natural advantages' of Tuxedo Park, and, with the exception of the hliiy country around Rosiyn, therei Is really no part of tne island which has sufficiently di versified scenery to it in any way a rival cf Doubtless a very pretty park might be made at several Places on Long Tsir.i. but Ttitfii in xiciire in the of h-r caturui jfenery and in the hi'l and lakes of the lu-nap-j Alouritains.
