As to the Woman Cyclist.

There would not seem to be much profit
in discussing the question whether wom-
en- should or should not ride the bicycle,
in view of the fact that great number of
women have answered this for themselves
in the affirmative. Looking at the matter,
therefore, from practical standpoint, it
may be well to suggest that If women are
determined to adopt this vigorous exercise
they owe it to the community at large to
be becomingly dressed. 1t is an unpleas-
ant truth that most American women who
ride the bicycle attire themselves in a
manner that is not conventional, to say
the least. An extraordinary style of dress
known as ''bloomers" appears to be most
in vogue, but for my part do not see that
1T has any special advantage over the old
fashioned skirt The "bloomers" are con-
structed in such generous proportions that
they utterly destroy the symmetrical out
lines of the female figure.-Ward Meal
lister in New York World.

CHICAGO RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM.
Tho Colony of Mean People Who Live
just Outside the Windy City.

Il always thought that the meanest
people in the United States could be found
right in the town of Chicago" said New
York man who has been living in the
Windy City, "but 1 was mistaken, not
very much mistaken, though, because the
colony of mean people that found live
about ten miles outside of Chicago, and
most of them come into town to business
every day, so that while they cannot ex-
actly be called Chicagoans still the city is
more or less responsible for them.
'These men are Of course commuters
on the railroad. Now, this railroad issues
an ordinary commuters ticket, which is
good for 400 miles of travel. There sare
40 spaces marked around the edge of the
ticket, and each one is marked 10, mean
ing that it is good for ten miles. The con-
ductor punches one of these spaces out
with an ordinary round punch for each
trip. For long timo the railroad officials
had noticed that receipts were falling off.
Communication tickets were not selling
with their accustomed regularity, and
finally the company put detective to
work. The detective watched the conduct
ors, expecting to find that they were work
ing In with the passengers, but could dis
cover nothing wrong. The passengers
seemed to be all we'll supplied with COM
mutation tickets, and the conductors
punched them regularly. 1t was all a
great mystery until one of the conductors
discovered the fraud, It's hard to believe,
know, but those commuters had actually
been picking up the punchings after the
conductor left the car, slowing them away,
and then at their leisure pasting them in
place again. 1t was simple cheat, but so
mean that it's difficult to believe that any
body would stoop to it.
1.-The conductor who cleared up the mys-
terry made careful examination of all
communication tickets the next morning.
1t is an actual fact that he found three
out of every five tickets doctored. Some
of the commuters made great play at be-
ing indignant when their tickets were TAX
en- up, but it was pure bluff Now York

Thought the skeleton Incomplete.

A colored clergyman from the south,
who was in Portland, visited the Portland
Medical college. He was very neatly
Rttired, affable young preacher, but his &C.
searches had evidently not related in any
way to the makeup Of the human body.
Some of the younger 'medics' showed
Sim about the building and explained the
%arious specimens on exhibition in the
museum. The human skeleton was what
he maryeled at the most "It was never
my pleasure to see real skeleton before, ("
said he ns he paused in front Of one that
was suspended SO as to facilitate easy in

SETTING JAP TYPE.
Evidently There Is No Fun In Getting Out
. Tokyo Newspaper.

Henry Norman says in Real Japan"
"They are very keen journalists in the
land Of the chrysanthemum, but 1t must
be allowed that the business is carried on
under difficulties, from which even tho
hardened western newspaper man might
shrink appalled,. The internal organiza-
tion Of newspaper Office is sad spectacle
of daily struggle with difficulties un-
known elsewhere and really unnecessary
here.
sThe Japanese written and printed
character consists of the Chinese ideo-
graphs, those complicated square figures
made up of an apparent tumble of zigzags
and crosses and ticks and triangles and
iails-'the footprints of drunken fly
md of the original japanese syllabary,
called kama. OF the former there are co.
000in all, of which perhaps IA, 900 consti-
tute the scholars vocabulary, and no few
er than 1000 are in common daily use,
while the AZ simple letters of the kama are
known to everybody. Therefore the jap
anese compositor has to be prepared to
place in his stick any one of over 1000
different types-truly an appalling task.
From the nature of the problem sew
eral consequences naturally follow. First,
he must be good deal of a scholar him
self to recognize all these instantly and &C.
curatcly; secondly, his eyesight suffers
fearfully, and he generally wears huge
pair of lnagnifying goggles and, third, as
it is physically impossible for any one man
to reach 1000 types totally different
method of case arrangement has to be de-
vised.
"The typo, therefore, of whom there
are only three or four on a paper, sits at a
little table at one end of large room, with
tho case containing his AZ kama syllables
before him. From end to end of the room
tall cases of type are arranged like the
shelves in crowded library, passage
three feet wide being left between each
two The compositor receives his copy in
large pieces, which he cuts into little takes
and hands each of these to one of half a
dozen boys who assist him. The boy takes
this and proceeds to walk about among
the cases till he has collected each of the
ideographs, or square Chinese picture
words, omitting all the kama syllables
which connect them. While these boys
are thus running to and fro snatching up
the types and jostling each other they keep
up a continual chant, singing the name of
the character they are looking for, as they
cannot recognize it till they hear its
sound, the ordinary lower class Japanese
not understanding his daily paper unless
he reads it aloud"
