Marvellous Popularity of Bicycles.

The marvellous growth of the bicycle
industry during the last few years is
patent to all who live in the upper sec.
ton of the city or in any other part of it
where fairly good roads exist. There
the wheel man or woman can be seen at
oil times, but it is only at some of the
larger establishments where the manu-
facture or sale of wheels is the sole pur.
suit that the full popularity Of the BIZ
cycle is ascertained. One establishment
in this city alone sells bicycles worth
nearly 81, 100000 yearly, while another
doing an extensive wholesale business in
medium and low-priced wheels, reaches
100000. In 1891 400 "whee!s'
we're constructed in this country, nearly
all OF which were sold, in addition to
10000 English ones imported.
The giving of lessons in bicycle riding
has become an established feature in the
cycle business, several instruction halls
existing in various parts Of the city. At
the best known Of these nearly $4,000
lessons were given last year, many
people coming from towns as far dis.
tent as Stamford, Conn, and New
Brunswick, N. New York Tribune.

The Russian blouse in colors that will
rival the gorgeous peony and outshine tho
dazzling poppy, will be great favorite with
the young folks at summer resorts, and it
will brhoovc them to keep clear of country
barnyards; least they excite tho ire OF tho
pompous turkey cock. In the illustration
give you an excellent view of the girl in q
blouse, and to look ut her il would take very
little imagination to conclude that she
had come over the fence rather than awav
around through the gate. This blouse is o.
surah, and has no scam at the back

the first railway station ever erected in

The electric plant of the Worlds
Fair will cost more than 100000

will have $4,000 lights and there will

lights will be wonderful beyond des-
cription. There arc quarter of

Tho electrical water display will

and the effect will be lake of gold.
The fountains will flow over electric

This building is about n third of a
mile long. 1t has in each of its four
sides pavilion-like entrance and
these to-day look small Still each of
them is the size of tcn-story office
building and they arc only dwarfed by
their surroundings. The floor is al
ready down in this building and the
trusscs arc now being put up. Thirty
great staircascs, so wide that two car
riagcs could be driven up them side
by side, will lead to wide galleries,
and there will be street so feet wide
running through the centre. With its
galleries it will have 40 acres of floor
space, and it tires one to even think Of

of electricity outside of the telegraph.
At this exposition it requires build

different electrical inventions, and
Edison alone will use about an acre of

wants nearly an acre, and this firm has
offered to spend 100000 on its cleo
