state Officials at san Diego.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 17.-Attorney-Ge General
". II. H. Hart and Controller E. P.
Colgan are in this city. They appeared
before the Board of Supervisors to-day
and discussed matters relating to back
taxes, etc. Mr.. Colgan said an effort
would probably be made at the next ses-
sion OF the Legislature to repeal the
coyote bounty law, but thought the inter
osts of the sheep-raising counties would
keep the law in force. Both officials will
go north in day or two.

who took boat and lett the vessel yester-
day. The schooner was towed into
Yaquina Bay to-day.

A CURIOUS BUG.

1t II . Live Beetle, Very Beautiful and Has
Had Nothing to Eat for Nearly Year.
A curiosity in beetles which seems Q
direct successor of Pope's famous gold bug
is now in London, says fhe Boston Herald
It is in the possession Of Mr.. W. G. Dud-
ley Wyatt, who bought it in the city Of
Mexico
1t is about an inch in length, and not only
has 1t a gold embroidered coat actually sewn
to its wing cases, but its legs, thorax, head,
and antenn@ are gilded. Mr.. Wyatt has
taken 1t to the South Kensington authorf-
ties and has promised to present it to them
next Thursday. It is alive and has q small
gilt chain and pin attached to it, and Mr..
Wyatt seems to carry it abou ut in all sorts
of odd positions, sometimes pinned to his
coat, at other times IN his waistcoat pocket
He left Mexico, where beetles decorated a.
his'are worn by the ladies in all the smart
sets, and has carried it with him all through
the East and India during some seven
monthA He says 1t has had nothing to eat
during that time, and will live a captive fer
from three to four years.

Besides Being Safe It Il Entertaining, end
Young Folk Acquire Self. Reliance
The New York Ledger says it is surprising
how the bicycle has multiplied since the
old-time high wheel has been superseded by
the comfortable and manageable Safety"
There is now no special risk, while with the
old style one occasionally took ones life In
ones hands The one criticism to be made
on the present model is that the wheels
might to advantage be larger. The larger
the wheel, the less jar and the more speed.
Of course, the gesred wheel helps the speed
of the safety" amazingly; but even this is
susceptible of decided improvement
As an entertainment for children. there is
probably nothing which Is moro desirable.
The exhilsration of speed 10 something de-
lightful, and the sense Of freedom aud self
reliance which youngsters acquire by means
For girls, there should be plain, simple
dresses Of serge, scant medium-length
skirt, with blouse, loose sleeves
with cuffs. and cap or hat is suitable. The
cap is more comfortable, but the hat IL
almost indispensable for those who burn or
tan easily. A veil is inconvenient and
scarcely appropriate, but is sometimes abso-
lutely necessary unless one is willing to sac
riice the complexion.
Very long hose, with straps from the
shoulders, are required with suits of this
sort OF course, no girl should wear cor
set while taking such exercise. A fitted
waist, rather loose, is the ideal garment
There are few prettier sights than family
out on their wheels, or the father instructing
the youngsters in the management of this
admirable means of exercise.

A recent writer in the Ninotse,tA Century
In . study of New York society puts
forward the lady's maid as an important
factor in the process of evolution which the
society class has undergone during the last
20 years The lady's maid is now as COM
mon in New York as in London and her
vast increase may be regarded As significant
Of the change in the woman she serves. She
has in fact developed from the woman Of
wealth and leisure hut still simple habits
into the ''great lady" Of Old World sris-
tocracy.

man the other day: 81 find the class dis-
tinctions here quite as strongly drawn as
In London; really think In the more for
NAL households in which have been, the
lines are preserved with greater rigidity
than in many English establishments of the
same class"
One of the fortunate or unfortunate
young women who were present at the first
drawing room writes graphically Of 1t to
New York friend: "I thought 1t would be
delightful" she says, ''but it was q perfect
penance. A dancing master gave me q

mere Royal Highness to whom made my
bow.
A crush of women with trains and fur
