The Wonderful Costumes of Fair
Parisiau Cyclists.

The Wonderful Costumes of Fair
Partisan Cyclists.
Cycling for women in Paris is of COM
paratively recent Importation, and the fem
mime bicyclist is still an object of curiosity,
writes a correspondent of the Washington
Star. However, the 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 fedged bicycists ambition. The
road is not an extremely pleasant one, as
there are several high hills to climb, but
everywhere the hills are beau tiful, and the
distance can be covered in an hour and a
quarter. Some of the roads leading from
Paris, which were the pride of former gen
e~rations of PBrisians, are paved with cob
blestones and defy the efforts of the most
skillful riders. The bicyclists, therefore,
generally find it to the advantage
of their machines to have them con-
veyed some distance out of Paris by
rail and then tax the road 70 the old
royal ruin of st. Cloud, where the unfortun-
ate Josephine spent a few happy days, and
where the private garden OF Marie Anton
cite is still kept in excellent condition, makes
an interesting ride, and the road, which fol.
lows along the Seine, is an unbroken line or
beautiful scenery.
ParisFgirls have an entirely different style
of dress from tina of the American woman
riders, and when first seen it is really quite
a shock: a blouse waist, a short skirt to the
knees, with a sailor hat, is a costume worn
by some of the more modest riders, while
the followers of fashion must adopt the lat
est style, which comprises a sort of frock
coat, knee brooches aud a jaunty derby. L
was rather dismayed one day when walking
through the Bots lie B~oulogne at the expedi-
ent adopted by a young lady who had for
some time been looking wistfully at her
brothers machine and wondering how she
could ride with a habit. At last the happy
thought struck her that she might transform
her skirt into one, so putting her thoughts
into action she brought the back of her
dress toward the front between her knees,
thus forming temporarily a pair of breaches,
and mounting the machine flew away for a
spin.

IN A NEW LIGHT.
An Argument for POsterity Which
Settled an Obdurate Father.


The young woman was trying to persuade
her father to give his consent to her accept
ing a very worthy young man he did not
want her to marry, and he was stubborn
saws the Detroit Free Press.
"But, papa she insisted, she is the man
of my choice"
"WelI, he is not the man of my choice,
and you shall not marry him." he per-
sisted.
The girl of grew firm at once.
"Now look here, papa" she said. "Some
day my daughter will probably come to her
father as Pm coming to you, and she will ask
him what 1 am asking you, but he will refuse
as yon are do. Then my daughter will say
coaxingIy to her father, But, papa, you
were mammals choice, and then in reply to
that would you like to nave that man say to
your granddaughter, No, | wasn't, I was
your grandfather's choice!" Answer me
that. Do you think it would be a pleasant
thing for that man to say to your grand
iaughterp
The father blinked two OF three times and
rubbed his dome of thought.
''Um-er-um, he hesitated. st hadn't
quite struck me that way before. / guess
you can have your own way about ii" and
up to date nobody has heard any cause to
regret the girls successful argument.

WHAT EVERY MAN IS WORTH.

The Chemical Compounds of an Av-
erage Voter Are Valued at $1S,30O.
An interesting exhibit at the National
Musuem shows the physical ingredients which
go to make up the average man, weighing
ia nounds. saws the american Analyst. y
Al large glass jar holds the SO pounds of water
which his body contains. In other receipt
acles are three pounds Of white of egg, a lit
tie less than ten pounds of pure glue-without
which it would be impossible to keep body
and soul together-8A pounds of fat. 81
pounds of phospate of lime, one pound of
carbonate of lime, three ounces OF sugar and
starch. seven ounces of fluid of calcium,
six ounces of phosphate of magnesia and a lit
tie ordinary table salt.
Divided up into his primary chemical
elements the same man is found to contain 81
pounds of oxygen-enough to take up, under
ordinary atmospheric pressure, the space of a
room 10 feet long, 10 feet wide and 10 feet
high. His body also holds 10 pounds of
hydrogen, which, under the same conditions,
would occupy somewhat more than two such
rooms as that described. To these must be
added 3 pounds and IL ounces of nitrogen.
The carbon in the corpus OF the individual
referred to is represented by a foot cube OF
coal. 1t ought to be a diamond of the same
size, because the stone is pure carbon,
but the National Museum has not such Lone
in its possession. A row of bottles contain
the other elements going to make up the
man. These are 4 ounces of chlorine, 81
ounces of fuoride. s ounces of prosperous,
81 ounces of birthstone, ~ ounce of
sodium, ~ ounces of potassium, one-tenth
of an ounce of iron, 2 ounces of magnesium
and s pounds and IS ounces of calcium.
Calcium. at present market rates, is worth
$500 an ounce, so that the amount OF it con-
tanned in one ordinary human body has a
money value of $1S,300. Few of our fellow
citizens realize that they are worth SO much
infrinsically.

MARRIAGE AND LONGEVITY.
Charles Darwin Urges M~atrifnOny
As An Aid to Long Life.

Charles Darwin has pretty thoroughly es-
tablished the reputation of never making a
statement without having first verified it by
the most careful investigation, and Mr.. OAR
win has co-operated with DIR. Shark, a fam
Gus Scotch scientist, in urging matrimony as
one of the most important aids to longevity.
He says that from an enormous body OF
statistics gathered in 1858 it was shownt that
the unmarried men throughout France, be
twenn the ages of twenty and eighty, died
in much larger proportion than the married.
For example, of 1000 unmarried men be-
tween twenty and thirty years of age 1l3
died annually, while of 1000 married men
between ages just mentioned, but 81 died.
In 1868 and "a similar statistics were gather
ed in Scotland, when it was found that in
every 1000 unmarried men between the
ages of twenty and thirty 40 annually
died, while Of the married only ~ died.

The principal topic discussed at the
monthly meeting of the Jersey City Athletic
Club last night was the attempt of some OF the
members to form a naval reserve in eonnec-
ton with the club. While there was no
definite action taken in the matter yet by the
general approval given to the scheme in all
probability it will be adopted.
The reports from the standing committees
show the club to be in a prosperous condition,
and keeping in its old place as one of the
foremost organizations in the State.
There was no attempt to bring up the cafe
question; but in the opinion of the majority
of the members it is only a question OF time,
and it will be established.
