BlOOmers in the East.

1t is a ridiculous commentary on the
movement Of the bicycle boomers to
reflect that skirts are worn by all who
swim, while so many who ride wheels
provided with skirt guides insist that
they must wear boomers. Plenty of
women bicyclers who do not wear
bloomers at these beaches declare that
they would wear them if they could be
certain that they would not have to
get off their. wheels. They do not want
to be seen on foot in trousers. The
sight of those women who walk and
lounge about in boomers, off their
wheels, does more to prevent the gen
eral adoption Of bloomers for bicycle
riding than anything else. And here
is another grain for ref1ection-the
nicer the place the fewer the bloom
krs, No bloomers are seen on the styl-
tsh Rumsom road or at Elberon, and
few are seen ut Spring Lake ana Sea-
ight.-New. York Sun.

About Three Dogs.

An English paper tells Of a dog
in Birmingham that is devoted to
dolls. The owner of the dog had a
little daughter who taught the dog to-
carry her doll The dog became SO
fond of the doll that he would snatch
it and carry it to his kennel and lie
down beside it. The children of the
neighborhood thought this was fun
and would ask the dogs owner:
Please, may your dog come and tai
my doll for 4 walk?'
Alas! now the dog snatches dolls
from the little owners and runs off to
his kennel. He never harms them,
carrying them by their clothes. One
day he brought four dolls home. He
is no longer favorite; his reputation
as friend Of the children is gone. He
does not wait to be asked to take the
dolls for walk; he runs off with them
without the owners consent.
The mistress Of this little animal
says:
rags is the dearest, cleverest dog
in the world. He can do everything
but speak. We set him up sometimes,
as he is in the portrait, to initiate IA
ther. When father reads the paper,
which takes long time, he always
puts it down and says there's nothing
in it. Rags can't find anything in it,
either. So you Sc the imitation is
very close"
The hero Of this story is a dog man,
ed Sam, and the story was told by a
well-known man to the Philadelphia
Record.
Sam is a setter and belongs to a
man named Mccormick. who keeps a
restaurant down at Atlantic City. I
was down there last week and saw the
dog going through a remarkable per-
formance. A man in a crowd Of six or
eight people will take nickel from
his pocket. wrap it in piece Of paper
and give it to the dog Sam trots off
to a corner where an Italian keeps
a fruit stand. The Italian places al
orange in paper bag and pretty soon
Sam comes trotting back with his prlr-
chase, Wagging his tail and showing
every exhibition of profound satisfac-
ton. He will then hunt out the man
who gave him the nickel, never max
ing a mistake apparently wishing to
show that he hasn't squandered the
money foolishly.
After that he takes the orange from
the bag and plays with it until ne is
tired. Then he eats it. lie first bites
a piece out Of the skin. just as a man
who has no knife might do. and then
breaks it in two pieces. He is fond
of oranges, but, although he mana ges
to get the meat Of the fruit, he VIII
never swallow even a morscl of the
skin"

The Elephant as a. PIayfeIIoxv

A man who has travelled in India a
great deal says that an elephant is a
better p1ayfellow for a boy than
dog: The native boys make the ele-
plants take them in swimming. Thew
climb on the elephants back and ride
IN triumph to the best swimming hole.
The elephant walks into deep water
and keeps right on walking until thc"~
is nothing to be seen of him exec,
his trunk and good level island of
back. The boy stands on the island
and yel1s 1ike-well, just about like a
good, healthy American boy, and he
dives off the island, and the elephant
grabs him with his trunk and puts
him onto ''dry land" and answers his
yell with cry that is half snort and
half whoop, and altogether he gives
that boy just. as good a time 'sin
swimming" as If he had lived in Amer
lea and never dreamed of using an
elephants back for a spring board.
Queer country India, isn't it?

Thorough narrowing Pays

One of the men, thinking that l set
the lever of the spring-tooth harrow
so that it pulled too hard for the team,
set it up so that it did not harrow so
deep by two inches. About half of an
oat piece was narrowed this way be-
fore l noticed it, when the teeth were
set back, with injunctions to let the
lever alone. After the oats were up
twelve inches I noticed a decided diff
ference in the two halves, much in
favor Of the part that was narrowed
the deepest. The shallow half was
not so big by three or four inches,
the plants were Of yellow color,
while the others were healthy green
i account for the difference by the
fact that deep narrowing and then a
good rolling gave the little roots bet
ter chance to get in the soil, and also
that the ground would absorb and
hold water better.-H. w. Davis,
Champaign Co.. Ill.

picturesque, than St. Giles, Cripplegate
Its lantern is strangely gaunt and
blackened, its towers strak and SOL

Cling and curious; we fancy ourselves
in bit Of some old foreign city. The
curious skulls and hour glass over the
entrance to the church yard are Wig
orously done. 1t escaped the great fire

tons tomb, Fox's (of the "Book Of

HooDooING A HOTEL.

Avoid Incurring the Clerks Ire by
Closing the Register. i
Never close the hotel register %saf-
ter you have written your name in it.
It's putting a hoodoo on the house for
the day. 7
"The worst possible thing" saidi a
well-known hotel clerk to New York
Press reporter, 1is to have some con
founded fool come in early. in the
morning and write his name first and
then shut the book. Every hotel man
knows that. I was a clerk in q west
ern house once when that was done
the very first day the hotel opened.
1t burned down before the paint was
dry. When a man does that in this
house in the morning know the bust
ness is going to be rotten. Its this
blotting contriyance bound in the
book that makes some men shut the
register; but we watch 'em, and when
I catch 'em get them to open it again
on some pretext. That lifts the
hOOdOO.

The Bantam Bicycle

frame, with full roadster equipments,
does not weigh more than twenty-three
pounds.
The one shown is a mans bicycle of
full size, with 4 siXty-six-inch gear,
which is much higher than most of
the women use Yet this, as is illus
trated in the accompanying picture,
taken from The Queen. can be ridden
by young girl in her ordinary dress.
A much lower machine is being built
for ladies' riding, and the lowness of
the frame will admit of longer skirt
being worn.
The Bantam, which is the name Of
the new wheel, is easier to learn to
ride, it is claimed, than the rear dri-
YER, though persons accustomed to
that would find the change awkward
at first. Although the wheels are so
much smaller than those of the Or
dinary safety, the vibration is said to
be less perceptible.
Another advantage claimed is the
small compact gear, which does away
with the usual gear case, and never
needs any attention. Altogether. the
development of this new wheel will be
watched with interest.

Looked Like ReasOu

A robins nest and a kingsbirds nest
were situated in adjoining trees, each
containing young birds. When the
kingbirds saw the robin bringing a
worm to feed it's young they would
attack it and make it give up the food
intended for the young robins. After
being robbed few times the robin
appeared with worm, accompanied
by two other robins, and when the
kingbird made his appearance the two
extra robins pitched in and gave him
sound thrashing, while the one with
the worm fed its young and seemed
to be laughing all the while. The
game was played until the kingbird
gave it UP, and now the robin feeds
It's young without help.-Lewlston

A Holland Room.

I accepted the suggestion very gladly
but fancied, that without moving, 1
could almost see the blue Delft plat
tiers and jugs and mugs, the old Dutch
oak and other trite importations. But
it was altogether different glimpse
of Holland that she gave me, and the
quaint impression Of that delightful
upper chamber fingers with me still.
The chairs and settee were rush
seated and of wood, enameled white.
All the "sticks" were painted with
cheerful little red and yellow flowers
and green vines but across each of the
broad board Stats that formed the
backs were Holland scenes in shades
of blue-Windmills sails and all those
well-known views Of the dykes and
canals. There was also a combination
of bureau and china closet, painted in
the same fashion, and behind the
small diamond panes Of the wide glass
doors were plates, bowls and jars Of
the rarest of all Delfts, which has the
borders only Of blue, while the figures
and flowers are in soft reds and yel-
lows. There were chubby, wadding
men in red waistcoats and yellow
trousers, and other remarkable CO.'S
