TIE TRAVELLERS RECORD.

Herman OeIrichs Holds the Belt With
3,4OO Miles In Days 1S Hours.
New York Advertiser.1
Betting on ships run across the ocean,
or on race between two well-known
steamers, has grown to large proportions
during this summer, probably because no
'jockeying'i has yet been discovered. The
next fad is facing across the continent in
express trai ms. Marcus Mayer started this,
and many tictfellows followed his example.
Among them, Baron Won Schroeder, of San
Francisco, held the best record until a week
ago, and now Herman Oelrichs is the belt
holder, with a record of 8, 400 miles in days
Is hours and 40 minutes.

Their own risk is greater, however. than
that of the pedestrian as one poor fellow

corner at break neck speed he collided with
big omnibus and was killed. The muni-

Fishes Lead tho Sharks and Bird Goes

Straight to Honey.
rth popular belief among many ses-
farers that the shark depends to greater
or less extent upon the pilot fish for infor-
nation, and is guided by this little attend
ant to the various tid-bits that come in its
way, says Prof c. T. Holder. How much
truth there is in this it would be difficult to
determine, but it is barely possible that the
curiosity Of the shark may be attracted to
food by the action of the pilot fishes.
The story first told to travellers in Africa
regarding the indicator albirostris, as the
bird is called, was that ages ago an ancestor
of the bird had been stung to death by bees
Its descendants had sworn revenge, AMI
wherever they discovered a bees nest and
honey they Immediately few away to the
camp of native or white and told him.
This would have been q marvellous tale if
true but the actual facts are quite won
derfuI enough. The bird is very fond Of
honey, and being unable to get it out of
trees, flies to the natives and pilots them to
the store

Talking of dress reform, the corset has
come into such prominence that the pulpit
has taken it up, and if its effect was as
dreadful as a recent sermon made it out to
be, it is wonder that anybody is living of
any account. Miss Willard is very extreme
upon this subject, and discourses thrillingly
about "the graveyards being full of victims
of diseases that came of corsets, and the hos
pitals groaning with their degenerate off
spring" But it remained for a
man and minister to picture
the horrors of the corset in still more
sickening and alarming style. If woman
believed it all she would be driven in des-
peration to abolish the corset Immediately,
But she does not. Furthermore it is likely
that the clergyman never knew the comfort
of corsets. He believes more in the
respectable and reverential chimney-pot
stiff hat, which congresses his brain and
leaves the red mark of discomfort to show
whenever removed That is where the rub
comes in for him.
Taking its history and considering Its
uses, while not iustifying its abuses,
it seems evident that these ex-
treme views are not founded upon
fact. Even as fool killer the corset might
be considered not bad invention, if the
rule of life is the survival of the fittest. The
women who lace themselves to an extreme
are, very decidedly, fools, hence the world
will be all the better if the graveyard is
fattened by their remains. The grand
mothers in the good old days wore sitter
stays and laced tighter than do their de-
scendants, yet the scientists tell us that life
now is longer and that their children do not
prove by degeneracy that the world is fast
moving to destruction by reason of the cor
SET A wise physician has been quoted as
saying that the old notion that good
woman shouldstay at home and spend her
days drudging in back kitchen had killed
more women than any one cause.

IDEAS BRED BY CUSTOM.

Atrayeler in the East relates that he once
showed the photographs of some friends of
his in London attired in full evening dress
to Persian lady. She was shocked beyond
measure. When assured that that was the
style in Queen Victoria's dominions, she
called down the curse of Allah upon such
women and their descendants.
These customs are ingrained in a people
Civilization does modify and change as to
fashions, but the approach to common sense
in matters of dress is--even among the most
intelligent-slower, it would appear, than
almost anything on earth. Frances Willard
says somewhere that a contemplation of the
compressed waists, the heads heated with
wads of hair, the free steps impeded by
trailing skirts, coupled with the knowl-
edge that the edicts of the theater and the
demi-monde, who set the fashions, have de-
prived women of watch pockets and loaded
them with bustles, more disheartens her
about women than anything else.

The lions will be harnessed to, and draw a

they will form tableux, ride bicycles, and
do many other astonishing things while
