Correspondence Of The Evening Star
Paris, July z 1893.
Cycling for women in Paris is of COM
paratively recent importation, and the
feminine bicycltst is still an object of curl
osity. However. this exercise is growing
more and more popular. as Paris is sur
rounded by SO many charming townlets Of
about a days excursion. Versailles is the
newly iedged cyclists first ambition. The
road Is not an extremely pleasant one, as
there are several high hills to climb. hut
everywhere the views are beautiful, and
the distance can be covered in an hour and
a quarter. Some Of the roads leading out
from Paris, which were the pride of former
generations of Parisians. are paved with
cobblestones. and defy the efforts of the
most skillful riders. The bicyclisis. there
fore, generally find it to the advantage Of
their machine to have them conveyed some
distance out Of Paris by rail and then take
the road.

the unfortunate Josephine spent a Few
happy days. and where the private garden
OF Mary Antoinette is still kept in excel
lent condition, makes an interesting ride.

Is an unbroken line of beautiful scenery.
Compiegne is another very pretty little
town. and boasts of a town ball which is
very ancient bit of architecture. A few
minutes ride from the town is the forest

almost an entire ruin at the time Of the
accession of Napoleon Ill to the throne,
but was restored by him after old draw
ings and plans. and the interior IS IN the
same condition when the old barons of
Pierrefonds defied even the King Of France.
All cyclists In Paris are taxed to the
amount Of ten francs per year. equal to
about two dollars. and they hope now to
have some rights conceded to them In con-
sequence. The cabmen are Indifferent
whether they are the cause of the cyclists

the carriers make life a burden by refusing
to get out of the way or in anyway to recoG-
nize the rights of man on wheel. The
railway companies are also unfriendly to-

The Outlook for Cotton,

A friend writes as follows in personal let ter to the editor:
 Of course fully realize the fact it is now too late to accom- plsh any good by further urging, either personally or through the press. a reduction of acreage in cotton plant ing. It is now patent to every one we are to have full acreage planted, and unless we have some meteorological interposition au- other big crop will follow-you know from the past the result. If we raise 100000 bales you will see middling cotton sell for six cents in your town while salt pork is now being sold at fifteen cents to mako this 6-cent cotton. These are no fancy figures, but plain facts. It will require one soc pound bale of cotton at six cents to pay for 200 pounds of salt meat at fifteen cents. Now with our very short crop of 1892. which will be that of the previous year 2500,000. we will carry a surplus into the next crop, September 1, 100000 to 1.200,o0) bales. Now if we make 1000 900 bales, where will we be when the world wants only 7,; 0),O0o of American cotton per aunum? The two seasons previous to 1892, we made.in 1890. s,655, ,5ls: 1s91 0O9s TOT bales; total, l7694 227 when only 100000 was needed for two years, leaving surplus of 2.6s4. 900: add this to next crop of 6.5oO. 900, which was the crop of 1892, and you have 9194, 900; now deduct annual 7,5oo 900, and you have 1894. 900 surplus. net, left. Well, no use talking, we will see what we will see.
 thank yon for what you did. and calling attention to reduction. The press did it's duty to a man so far as we are informed. We must wait results. l write this merely 10 you These figures given are merely to show you you were wise in continually urging reduc- ton of acreage. Yours, -
