back to the foe rs well as her face,
the trousers without any c~oncealing
skirt are unadvisable.
Lady cyclists have suffered terrible
things from their skirts. On windy
days they catch the blast and give a
resistance to the efforts Of the wearer
to propel her machine which very ser
iously adds to the eXertion required.
Further, however, carefully the wheels
and works may be guarded, the skirts
are always liable to catch and some
times very serious accidents are thus
caused. In one case recently the wind
got under the front Of the lady cy-
clist's skirt and blew it up to her knee;
she hastily caught at 1t to pull It down,
and forthwith pitched over the head
Of her machine and nearly killed hey.

ers occasionally get entangled up be-
hind, to the peril both of themselves
and their machines. Finally, the skirt

cealing a considerable space OF leg. it

description does not apply to all lady
cyclists-whence it may be inferred
that NJ all lady cyclists would look
quite as well rs little Miss Reynolds in
exactly the same get-up.
Thus attired Miss Reynolds set out
with her father and a little party of
friends, to ride from the aquarium, at
Brighton, to Hyde Park Corner and
back again. This distance OF LOG miles
the enterprising girl accomplished with
ease in eight hours thirty-eight minutes
and arrived back in Brighton compare
lively little fat1gued. Neither she nor
those with her felt the smallest doubt
that in skirts this performance would
have been absolutely impossible. Mrs.
Grundy may, perhaps, here observe
that she would prefer that it should
have remained impossible; but the lady
cyclist only mods and smiles at the
dear old etfigy's opinions, and wheels
on.
Evidently the rest Of the sisterhood
had but waited for this lead, for inn
mediately afterward quite a number
of them had some sort Of reformed
cycling dress of the same character
constructed for them and proceeded 10
wear it. Smartness was evidently the
aim of some, while comfort and ease
had most engaged the thoughts Of 9th
ers. Some mild spirits ~temporiZed be-
tween the new boldneSs ana comfort
and the old p]etticoated prOpriety and
horrible discomfort by having their
skirts too long for the first and too
short for the second ideal. They, like
all trimmers, will presently vanish,
and either an outburst of public wrath
will drive the lady cyclists back into
bondage, or in a year or two we shall
all be habituatel TO seeing them in
dual garments, and shall look upon
one who cycles In skirts with aston
ishment.

common sea-bathing machine proprietor
Is converted, and provides nothing else
ID such rational costumes to lend to
The bather for the day. Clearly, then,
the evolution of women's dress for any
athletics has a tendency toward the
way In which we find the rational
cycling costume is developing-nanaly,
to a frank admission that woman,
being a biped, may reveal DIAL pedal
ity.
Foremost among that smart division
of the reforming lady cyclists for whom
comfort is still a secondary considera-
ton to looks must be placed Mrs, III.
l.. Clark. Her dress consists OF full
Knockers Of n brown diagonal thick
tweed and coat and CATERS of the same.
The coat is very sniartly cut so as TO
show off the waist, and the full basque,
which is just long enough to clear the
mud guard, is three yards in circum-
ference at the bottom-that is, wide
enough to be hooked down nearly to
the knee, so that there is room in rid
ing for the knee action, and yet the
figure is not too fully defined in front.
The top Of the coat turns back with
reyers and shows a stiff white collar
and front. Mrs. Clark undoubtedly
looks most elegantly and perfectly
lady-like: but a waist nodded by stays
and a stiff linen collar are by no means
In accordance with perfect comfort
or with hygiene.
Mrs. Albert Bonsor and Miss Gerty
Want may be taken as typical Of the
comfort first" division. Mrs. Bonsor,
like most of the ladies depicted, has
been long accustomed to ride in skirts,
and declares that the increased ease
and greater happiness In riding in he
reformed dress cannot be imagined but
must be experienced. Her Knockers,
however, look n good deal wider than
they need be, though her double-breast-
ed Norfolk Goa seems perfectly COM
Portable. Even more workmanlike In
some respects, because better provided
with pockets, and fitting more compact
ly round the hips, is Miss Wants coat.
Mrs. j. s. Smith, who is n of the
most celebrated of lady-riders-she and
her husband, riding tandem, nave al
most swept England Of prizes I'm anna
teur contests for that class Of riding,
has tried to achieve that which the

she mounts her machine she pulls, by
loops at the waist, on two strings which
run through little rings inside the skirt,
and draw it up into plaits above her
knees, revealing the Knockers. Mrs.
Richardson must also be counted
among the compromises, foc her skirt,
though it belongs to n tunic, IN
considerably below the level Of the

On the other hand, the French wom-

skirts altogether, simply wearing r

reasons the English ladies are all
agreed in thinking that, as the lady cy-
clist has to confront criticism with her

E~gg-Eating by FowIs.

Egg-eating hens are often the result
Of a habit formed by having access to
broken eggs, though In other cases
the habit comes from an mate hunger
born Of the lack of proper food ele-
ments containg the nitrogen and the
phosphate and eat the eggs to obtain
them.
The Poultry Yard says: The habit
CT egg-eating by the hen is, at times,
n very serious with which TO deal,
though / never have been troubled with
1t but once, and then for a short time
only. AS ] breed no fowls but Part
ridge ochins. / presume l. am not
troubled as much Us those who breed
the smaller kinds of fowls, for l think
he ASiatics are not so apt to acquire
the habit in question as are the smaller
breeds, for the former are generally
possessed Of a quiet disposition, while
the latter, especially the Leghorns, are
very active.
AS ~preventives are better than cure,
/ will suggest a few which / practice.
According to my judgement the habit
Of %egg-eating is oftenest formed by hay
ing soft or thin-shelled eggs laid in the
nest. These are almost sure to be brok-
en- by the hen while on the nest, and
she will be very apt to eat the broken
egg. Then, first, feed your hens shells,
meats and such a variety Of food that
all the eggs will be likely to have
hard shells.
Occasionally there Is n hen that never
lays other than s~oft-shelled eggs, and
she will o acquire the habit of eat
Ing eggs. The best remedy for such an
egg-eater is TO give your hens plenty
OF work, especially the smaller breeds,
for Satin finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do" Strew thickly over
the hen house floor, OF small yards,
leaves from the woods, or chaff from
the hay loft, in which scatter wheat,
oats, screenings or the coarser parts Of
cracked corn. To find the food thus
scattered, and partly hidden, will give
the hens capital employment during
the close confinement of the winter
time and is most excellent to keep them
out of mischief.
