1t seems to me that as the negro turns to-
ward the Caucasian his characteristics are
first observable in his fashion of wearing
his hair, beard, or mustache. Nearly ali of
the colored bows here have their heads
shingled with great regularity three or four
times a year, and this, it is said, takes out
the kinks OF the hair, and makes it straight
and stiff. | cannot tell whether shaving
has the same effect upon the beard, but the
number of colored men who have straight
hair and mustaches aud pointed boards in
Washington is very large. They are ex
ceedingly apt in mimicking the white peo-
pie. those who are i'll the service of the bet
ter restaurants and hotels are entirely free
from any negro acce It. The negroes and
the white children are in separate schools in
Washington, and there is very large at
tendance. The standard Of scholarship in
the negro schools is higher in some instances
| than in the white schools, and young col
ored men occupy many positions of trust
and Importance IN the city. OF course | am
speaking now in general way of the most
successful colored people OF the town,
for it is not to be denied that among the
seventy or eighty thousand negroes there
are very many who are worthless and lazy.
The greatest delight of this powerful con-
tingent is to sit around on the sunny street
corners and lounge their lives away watch
ing the carriages and bicycles-particu!a rly
t le latter.

The good pavemenus of Washington breed
bicycles as Jersey meadows do mosquitoes.
As far as my own observation goes the
pavement is always responsible for the pres
ence of bicycles. In London, where the
streets are paved after the fashion prevail
emit in Washing on, they are numerous, and
O they are in New Orleans and Berlin. In
all the other capitals of the world bicycles
are comparatively few and far between.
Here messenger boys, postmen, errand
bows, and citizens of the most staid and
proper exteriors go scootlng up and down
the avenues, morning, noon, and night
They leave their bicycles standing outside
Of hotels and business houses with touch
ing confidence for hours at a time, and 1T is
said that such thing as theft of bicycle
has never been known in the city. The
most startling feature about it all to the
stranger is the fact that the women ride
bicycles-not tricycles, be it understood, but
the two-wheeled machine which seems SO
precarious and dangerous to the average
observer. They do not wear boomers or
Jockey costumes, for the machine are con-
structed so that the women can wear skirts.
These are short as a rule, admitting of
decidedly pleasing glimpse of foot and ankle,
but the most attentive observer never sees
half an inch above the top Of the shoe. The
arrangement of the machine is peculiar. The
saddle rests over the rear Wheel and the
wheels are set apart on a frame shaped like
a letter u, so that the lady may sit COM
fortably on the saddle without having to
straddle the back of the machine, all of
which enables her to wear the skirt.
Among the more expert Of the women
riders the old-fashioned tricycle. is looked
upon with contempt, and nothing but the
two-wheeler will go. For cruising and
touring about the suburbs, however, many
of the double tricycles are still in use. 1t
is no uncommon thing to see a man and
woman spinning swiftly along the smooth
pavements On the outskirts Of the town at
a rate OF speed which would astonish a
sturdy horse. The girl sits on the front
seat. the man in the rear. and the exercise
must be very beneficial if one is 10 Judge
by the bright eyes and rudy cheeks OF the
riders. It is very droll at times to watch
the tall and bewhiskered men with their
overcoats, plug hats and gloves, blowing
around town on their machines Frock

seems to me- considered necessary adjuncts

In Washington the social advance of the
