In the efforts for the improvement
of country roads, bicyclers, through
their clubs and central organizations,
are playing a prominent part, and
are accomplishing much in this i'm
portant matter. TO them good cOun-
try roads are a prime necessity, as
without such roads the sport of cy-
cling loses nearly all its charms, and
becomes the hardest kind Of toll. In
this region cyclers have made their
influence felt, and though they have
not accomplished as much as they
desire they are now enjoying some OF
the fruits of their labors. Cyclers
now propose to emphasize the need
and value of good roads by an exhi-
bition at the Worlds Fair which
shall be an object lesson in good road
construction. II this is carried out,
and there seems to be no good reason
why IL should not be, the exhibit
ought to prove both interesting and
valuable, and impress upon country
lawmakers and road-makers that q

THE sugar trust Is In fair way to
reap the just reward OF its greed In
the form of competition by a syndi-
cate OF foreigners. This syndicate is
composed of Cuban and Malaccan
planters, who find they have only
one customer for their raw sugars in
the American market. That GUS
toner is the trust. They must take
the price 1t offers or seek another
market. Such being the situation,
they propose TO see what they can ac-
complish by means of combination
of their own. They do not propose
to initiate the example OF the trust
and combine to demand their own
price. What they do propose is to
establish reflneries OF their own in
this country and refine their own
sugars for the American market.
That Is, instead of destroying COM
petition, they propose to compete.
The Philadelphia Record reports that
their agents have been negotiating
for a water front property in that
city. IL is also reported that they
have already begun work on a re-
finery in Jersey City and intend to
establish another on Long Island.
This goes to show how these COM
binations to control production and
prices court their own destruction by
excessive greed.

and tawdry. The skirt is deliberately
embroidered with jet; In fact, notice a
frequent use OF jet trimming on summer
gowns, both on light and heavy tissues.
Even such thin material as grenadine is
often trimmed with jet and ribbon, the
Jet ornaments being butterflies.
The girl OF this season has another
nightmare which occasions her not a
little trouble, and that Is the tiny maid
Of twelve or thirteen who is taking her
first lesson in coquetry. 1t seems ridic-
ulous at first thought that she should
fear such rivalry, but she knows the old
saying that Time cures youth and sor-
row, and even by the end of the season
one OF these little misses might become
almost "a full-tedged young lady. Airs
and graces are like mushrooms-they
spring up in single night. Fashion is
a genuine fairy queen, and she has only
to touch the little country girl with her
wand in order to transform her into a
city belle.
My second illustration presents a
pretty picture of summer life, and
day." II is a great consolation for a
woman of fashion TO feel that her scep-
ter will not be suffered to drop to the
floor and tarnish with age, that fair
daughter will soon be able to pick it up
and rule the same empire made glori-
Gus by her mother. This little princess
may play with balls now but how long
will it be before she will toss mems
hearts and laugh at their rebound?
Here she is dressed in a plain little
morning frock of ecru linen, set off with
yoke, and epaulets of coarse guipure,

trimmed with embroidered galloon with
belt and collar of MORE ribbon, which on
the neck forms bow at the back The

The King of Slams wives.

"The Chinese do all the mental la
Dor in Siam. They also keep all the
pawnshops and gambling houses, and
teach the Siamese how to gamble,
said Lieut. l.. N. Rasmussen at the
Grand Pacific yesterday. He is a
young Danish officer, who went to
Siam six years ago at the solicitation
Of the king, to assist In drilling the
royal troops in European fashion.
"The king has not a very large
army-only 5000 or 1900 men-al-
though the name of every male sub
ject is on either the army or naval
roll. But they are never called into
service, as the king cannot stand the
expense of feeding large army.
Moreover, it is not needed as there
are few outbreaks or disturbances.
"The kings army is larger than his
family, but the latter is of pretty fair
size. Nobody dares to give the exact
figures, but at last accounts he had
100 wives and los children. The
present king is man about 3S years
old, / think, and he is popular. He
is the highest power, owns the whole
country, and does about as he pleases,
but he is well liked. His eldest son
is the crown prince. Just now that
youth is a member Of the Buddhist
priesthood. All the princes and no
bles have to go through the priest
hood before they are fully fledged."
"How does the king get all his
wives?"
"They are presents to him from the
mobiles. They offer him their daugh-
tiers. OF course, no one would dare
to offer him one that was not fairly
good-looking, and he seldom refuses
to accept them. Should he refuse,
the parents might as well move out
of Siam, as the refusal would simply
mean that the parents were in royal
disfavor."
"How dOthe other people get their
wives over there?"
"Oh, buy them. Many of the no
bleS have numerous wives. If girl
strikes their fancy they negotiate for
her purchase, but not generally until
they have paid her proper suit. Some
OF them buy their wives from the
ranks of the actresses in the Siamese
theaters. Prices vary from 81, 900 to
$50. 1t costs more to marry into a
rich family. Sometimes young couples
elope, just as they do in other coun-
tries. But the groom has to settle
just the same. There is a rate fixed
for elopements-400 ticals, or about
$40. San Franciso Chronicle.

The Rattlesnake,s Tail.

The structure from which the rat.
tlesnake takes his name-the rattle
consists mainly of three or more solid,
horny rings, placed around the end of
the tail. These rings themselves are
merely dense portions Of the general
outer skin of the body, but the rattle
has also a solid foundation Of bone,
for the last three bones OF the tail
become united together in one solid
whole or core, grooved where the bones
join, while they increase in size
toward the hinder end of the complex
bone thus formed. The bony core is
invested by skin also marked by
grooves, which correspond with those
at the functions of the three bones,
and this skin becomes much thick
ened and so, forms an incipfent, i'm
perfect rattle Of such young snake as
have not yet cast their skin. When
ii is cast the skin investing the tail
close to its termination is not cast of,
but is held fast by the enlarged end
of the bony core before mentioned.
The piece of skin thus retained be-
comes. a loose ring in front of the
incipient rattle, and thus forms a
fist joint or ring OF the future per-
feet rattle. The same process is re-
peated at each molt, a fresh loose
ring or additional joint TO the perfect
rattle being thus formed every time
the skin is shed. Thus the perfect
rattle comes ultimately to consist of
a number Of dry, hard, more or less
loose, horny rings, and in this way a
rattle may consist OF as many as
twenty-one co-existing rafting rings.
It is the shaking OF these rings by a
violent and rapid wagging Of the end
of the snakes tail which produces
the celebrated rattling sound = a
sound which may be compared to the
rattling of number of peas in rap.

BY sheer good fortune and the adj
mirable behavior Of officers and pas
sengers in the face Of grave peril, the
stranding OF the City of Chicago has
involved no loss of life. 1t might
easily have been one Of the seas most
terrible disasters. The ship, crowded
with passengers, was run full tilt
upon some Of the most dangerous
rocks on most dangerous coast.
Fortunately the rocks held her fast,
thus giving time for the safe removal
Of the passengers to the shore. Had
she slipped off she might have gone
down in nine fathoms of water. Why
did she run on the rocks? The ship
had sighted the coast lights, and
her officers knew that they were near
the very dangerous rocks on which a
little later she was stranded. When
fog fell upon them in such position,
two courses were open to them, the one
perfectly safe, the other reasonably
so. They might have turned the
ships bow seward, and made an Off
ing till the fog lifted. That would
have been safe, but it would have
involved delay, and the insane desire
of travellers for a speedy voyage rarely
brooks delay that may be. avoided
even by taking risks. They might
have proceeded toward Queenstown
harbor at so low a rate of speed as to
reduce danger greatly. They did
neither, according to the dispatches,
but ran at nearly full speed" through
the fog until the ship was driven
upon the rocks. We have laws in
every civilized nation to compel the
proper construction and equipment OF
ships for safety at sea. Why should
we not have laws TO compel the
proper and safe handling of ships in
approaching port? Why should it
not be imperatiyely required that
when fog falls upon ship within hail
of dangerous coast she shall make
safe offlng and wait for better con-
ditions before attempting to make
port? We have reduced danger at
sea TO minimum, but in our mad
desire for speed we have actually in
creased the danger OF ending voyage.

THE locked-out inhabitants of
Homestead who held the mills against
the proprietors where plainly in a
state Of anarchy. In fury they were
like savages. 1t was battle of en-.
ragged and misguided men, and in any
event its outcome could only be in
furious to them as individuals. II
they have established principle that
is yet to appear. The Pinkerton men
were led by persons displaying con-
spicuous unwisdom, to call it by no
harsher term. Clearly the locked-out
ex-employes Of the mills had under
the law no right to hold the mills
against the owners Of the property.
But there is terrible responsibility
in precipitating a deadly riot. No
corporation has the right to summon
private army and shoot down men
who oppose it, even if those men are
seriously infringing on Others rights
as property-owners. 1t is freely
granted that the locked-out workmen
committed crimes in the eyes of the
law when they shot down the ap-
preaching Pinkerton men. But to
provoke the Infatuated jewellers in
Homestead to this degree by the i'm
portation Of armed mercenaries was
an act of madness that has no justifi-
cation. There would have been no
murders if arrogance had not pre-
pared the lines of battle and ruled
the scenc OF this monstrous conflict.

at the races, with variations in ecru

month in dull town life; men come and
go, women appear and disappear, and
1t seems to you that you have seen a
generation pass. so many and so varied
are the faces, forms and fancies of peo-
pie who frequent these places.
AT the seaside resorts in and about
the metropolis one sees so many novel

Ancestors of the Horse.

Some interesting facts about the
geological ancestors of the horse have
recently been made known by Profes-
sor Marsh. Various forms Of horse
like animals that lived in America in
those remote times known to the
biologists as the eocene, miocene,
and pliocene epochs, and which may
have occurred millions Of years ago,
have been unearthed, and science has
not shrunk from the task of recon
structing these animals from their
fragmentary remains.
The curiously interesting state
ment is made by Professor Marsh,
that "the oldest ancestor Of the horse
AS yet red-undoubtedly
had five toes on each foot, and prob
ably was not larger than rabbit, per-
haps much smaller" He even VEN
lures to predict in which of the geo.
logical strata the animal will prob
ably be found, and suggests that it
be named "Hippops."
In modern times a horse is Occa-
sionally seen which possesses extra
toes, thus showing the existence OF
a slight tendency, under certain cir
ditions, to revert to the peculiarities
Of its remote ancestors.
This tendency is one Of the proofs
which science has to offer that the
noble and beautiful animal, whose
services add so much to the powers
and the enjoyments OF man, has
really been developed from those
queer beasts of ancient times to which
the biologists have given such names
as cohippus, crohippus, protohippus,
miohippus, and pliOhippus.

GREAT SCOTT! The planet Mars
will soon be only 80, 900, 900 of miles
distant from us, instead of III, 900, 600
miles, as heretoforel We shall be
able, with the aid of good telescope,
to see the farmers in the back coun-
ties of Mars hoeing their potatoes
and distilling their planetary whisky.
Perhaps we may find out what Ian

their politics happens to be. There

indefinite moss green" However, some
of the most charming summer girls
dress with striking simplicity, appar-
emily being OF the opinion that pretty
face and graceful figure are the things
that count In the gay empire of modes.
For instance, see very stylish young
girls wearing blue serge skirts with
white blouses and colored ties and small
white sailor hats trimmed with ribbon
to match the tie. In one case l noted q
black skirt and white blouse set of with
a blue tie, and in another a white serge
skirt, blue blouse and white hat,
trimmed with blue ribbon. Still another
charming white serge gown had around
the waist and around the bottom bias
folds of dahlia red faille, edged with
tiny ruches of black ribbon. The bodice
was set off with very small Henry III
cloak of dahlia silk, just falling be-
tween the shoulders and hardly reach
ing the waist The cloak was lined with
white satin and edged with tiny black
ruching.
The summer girl Is not having 1t all
her own way by any means. The young
married woman and the stylish young
widow both constitute very formidable
rivals at times. The summer girl may
toss her pretty head and affect to despise
these poachers on her fair domain, but
the world gets tired OF tinkling cymbals
and shrill pipes, just as children tire Of
sweet cake and yearn for big slice OF
plain bread and butter. You will find
pictured in my initial one of those
rather heavy and ornate gowns which
make the soft and fluffy habiliments of
the summer girl look somewhat cheap
