” coser BICYCLE FAos. Wheels Ornamented with Silver and Other ’ Metals to Gratlfy Whims. , In anticipation of the season some fashionables are ordering wheels with silver adornments, handsome silver lamps and other accessories. The foundation of these wheels must always be steel tubing, since the finer metals are too soft for the purpose; yet - they may be made very beautiful, with silver tracery over the entire frame, the pedals, handle bar, saddle and tool bag fairly encrusted with silver ornamenta~ tion. The ends of the handle bar are sometimes made of ivory, while, the skirt guard is laced with white silk cord. For these ornate wheels silver lamps are being prepared, which will range in prices from $35 to $100, the latter being embedded with pearls. The cyclometer are made of nickel, with silver mount- ings, and on the handle bar is fastened a dainty silver bracket from which hangs a silver watch; price, $10. Toe clips will not be used with these ma- chines. The entire outfit will cost $450. , . N 0 gold whatever is being put upon wheels. ~ As an experiment one wheel was entirely plated with gold but with very unsatisfactory results. Our fash- ionables will trust themselves only on machines of solid metal. Each rider, however, will have her monogram or crest on the silver name plate which is fastened to the frame._ These frames can be secured at a very reasonable figure, and are within reach of every wheelwoman. — New York Evening telegram. Too Much for the Kafilrs. Golf is apparently too much for the intellect of the South African Kafiir. A tall warrior, we are told, saw several unskillful players playing over an Afri-. can course, and he appeared to take the deepest interest in their efforts to get the ball out of one of the many deep bunkers that abound in the links of that country. The next day he was seen vigorously whacking a huge boulder with aistick and shouting a varied as- sortment of English oaths at the top of his voice. Somebody asked him what was the matter. “This white man’s game,” said the native. “Welly good game, white man’s game.” Why It was Incredible. Every one knows that Trieste forms a partof the “unredeemed Italy” which gm: belongs to Austria, but sighs to be- come a part of her own country. At a church in that city a traveller was shown a large number of votive offer- ings, and among them a silver mouse, which had been presented by a lady whose house was horribly infested by such vermin. After this gift to the Madonna the nuisance entirely disap- peared. ,. “Do you believe that?” inquired the skeptical traveler. - _ “Of course not,” repliedthe sacristan, “or we should have made a silver Aus- trian long ago.”—Harper’s Magazine. .I.

Simply a Bright Hued Paper Umbrella . Made of Paper. A novel and charming receptacle for flowers can be made from a Japanese umbrella. It is necessary only to re- move the handle and to suspend it by ribbons terminating in graceful bows. The more costly silk parasols can be used, but the paper sort that cost only a few cents give an entirely satisfactory result.‘ The ribbons are best of a plain color. Three points must' be marked, equi-dis— taut, on the edge of the cover, and at each of these one ,of the ribbons must be attached. When that is done the umbrella is half closed, and the ribbons are brought together and made'fast. A big bow is sewed at the point of meet- ing, and a smaller one where each rib- bon joins the umbrella. That done, it. remains only to insert within the um- brella a tin vessel of ~corucopia shape. Into this the long stems of cut flowers - and the ends of trailing vines can be thrust, and so kept fresh for many days. If they are selected with an eye for color, and the vines are abundhnt‘, an efiective bit of decoration carfbe ob- tained with trifling effort. Hung, from a chandelier. the umbrella becomes a feature of the room; but, unless the ceiling is high, or _a table stands be- neath, there is danger of collision. A hook, such as is ordinarily used for a bird cage, on the other hand, can be screwed into a cofner or against the wall, and the flower holder hung with safety.—Commercial Advertiser. GOV. W. O.

HETTY GREEN’S ADVICE. She Tells Women to Invest in Real Estate. For the benefit of women with small sums of money to invest, Mrs. Hetty' Green. who is the richest woman in America, gave the following statement to a New York World reporter. “I would advise any woman with $500 at her command to invest it in real estate. She should buy the real estate at auction on occasions when circum- stances have forced the sale. If she will watch for such an opportunity it will surely come, and she will find that she can buy a parcel of land at one third its appraised value. “I regard real estate investment as the safest means of investing idle money. It does not always bring a steady inter- est. but it is less likely to depreciate in value than stocks, which are always somewhat uncertain. A woman with tact and ability will be on the alert to learn of a mortgage about to be fore- closed. In such cases she should nego- tiate with the owner of the property and give him enough to clear his debt. thus saving him the costs of a sale. Many a woman has profited by an op portunity of this kind. "Of course, if a woman has $500 in cash and wishes to speculate, she may branch out more broadly and take great- er risks, with the prospect of greater returns. But she should bear in mind that real estate is the collateral to be preferred to all others.” A list of the sums left by a number of British medical men, mostly knights or baronets, who died last year, is in- teresting. The estates range in value from nearly half a million to about $40. 000. Sir William Savory, who died at the age of sixty-eight, left an estate worth over £93,000. Dr. John S. Bris- towe left an estate worth £15,734, and the late Dr. Tuke an estate of about £30,000. It is estimated that the aver— age of the personal estates of sixty- seven physicians ,and surgeons whose wills were'noticed during six or ,seven years was £50,614. This is a vastly greater sum than could be credited to a similar number of eminent American physi- cians, and it is possible that some of those gentlemen inherited the fortunes which they left—Medical Times.

The Volunteers Enter a New Field for Religious Work. ‘ ‘ Just now Mrs. 'Ballington Booth is taking up a line of work which she in- tends to be one of the most important of the Volunteer movements. This is the work in prison. Recently she visited Sing Sing and held a meeting there, in the prison chapel, on Sunday afternoon. Warden Sage says it was one of the most remarkable meetings ever held in there. Mrs. Booth talked to the prisoners for over an hour, not about their prison life and the lives they led before a prison cell became their home, but her endeavor was to lead their thoughts away from their present condition to something brighter and better and more full of this world’s sunshine than they had ever known. , When she had finished speaking there was hardly a dry eye among the hard faced men who were the convict’s garb. As she ' was leaving the chapel the prisoners cheeredagain and again. Mrs. Booth’s earnestness and passion were pathetic. She faced men guilty of every crime in the calendar. Among others, seventy men serving a life sen- tence were .before her. And. yet they all listened to her words with respect and attention, and many appeared tobe affected by them. “Boss” McKane sat there solemn and desolate, and Weeks, the handsome embezzler, was near him gazing intently at the speaker with tears occasionally coming into his eyes. ’ The chapel rang to the tones of 'a thousand voices in “I Need Thee Every Hour,” and then Mrs. Booth advanced to the front of the audience and looked at the faces of the convicts with a rapid glance. ~ “I told you,” said she, “the last time I was here that I was your friend. From the letters I have received from some of you I think that fyou' believed my words. It is true. I am your friend. I can see the sunlight in some of your eyes, whichhas-‘mrobably come . from brighter thoughts of the future. I re- joice to see it there. ' “You must throw away the past en- tirely. You must blot it out. There is no hope in what you have done. All the bright prospects“ is in what is pres- ent and what is to come. In this you are powerless yourselves, but there is One above who is all powerful, One who will help you always. I have pray- ed every day since I was here last that you might see this an ; act upon it. I have prayed for you as I have prayed for no audience I have ever addressed, and I think some of them needed it just as much as you.” -' Mrs. Booth spoke for a long time to the prisoners, drawing many pretty il- lustrations from her family life. The silence was intense, and every eye was riveted 0:1 the. speaker. Finally she leaned i .rward and asked every one who had felt her words and thonght “ that he u :sired honestly to lead a life of decency, nonesty and Christianity to rise to his feet, unregardful :of what those near him thought or had to say. No one stirred for a moment. Then a gray haired convict in the centre of the audience arose. At first his head was cast down and he seemed ashamed. This did not last long, however, for seen his eyes met those of Mrs. Booth, and the tears rolled down his cheeks. Then a negro in the back part of the chapel got up. Next a man with a bright, pleasing face, so young that the down had scarcely had time to develop, stood up. “Soon 36 were standing, gazing earn- estly at the evangelist. A look of in- tentness was upon their faces, and earnestness of purpose was expressed in every lineament. Their eyes were bright with emotion, and even the stolid keepers. inured to every scene of prison life, seemed afiected. “Now,” continued Mrs. Booth, “I would like to see those who have al- ready made protestations of an endeavor to lead a better life stand up.” Sixty~seven men at once arose, and the hundred or more sat still while a hymn was sung. , After the service I asked Warden Sage how much hypocrisy he thought was exhibited by those who stood up for Christianity. "God help them was the response. “I hate to think that there was any. There may have been some, but I think the proportion was very small. Women at Conventions. Those‘who have attended tho Nation- al conventions of either political party for thirty years have noticed and often commented upon the increasing inter- est taken in those important events by the women of the country. A mere record of figures, if they had been kept, would be an eloquent comment and symptom of the social and political changes which are directing the growth of our country into the next century. It is only eight years ago that the first woman journalist attended these con- ventions professionally. THE SCORCHER AS HE THINKS. f '“""— ‘ by E. P. Weed, druggist.
