A French geographical society pro-
poses to divide the face of the clock
into ten hours Of ten minutes and
hundred seconds each. This is to make
time uniform with the decimal system
or count by tens. The count by twelves
which now shows ON the face of the
clock survives from the earliest times
probably from long before the invention
of letters.

form OF ornamentation The hat Is
round, very like a sailor In shape and Is
of rough black straw. 1t is trimmed in
front with big bows of white embroi-
dered silk muslin, held in the center by
a big jet buckle, and with several os-
trich tips. Instead of the mousselne de

stiff ribbon withstands dampness much
more successfully than the flimsy NOUS

Hats OF fish net straw with meshes so
large that the hair and head show
plainly through are very jaunty. The
model is generally of the tam-o' -shanter
kind with a little curved and gathered
brim, and masses Of ragged wild flow
ers add to the general bizarre effect.
In general, the straw of the midsum-
mer hat is merely an excuse for the
draping Of lace or muslin. A wide frill
of lace lies on the brim, another slightly
wired stands up to- the top of the crown,
great rosettes of lace show, a pair of
scarf ends float about the throat, bios
SONS and foliage tumble down
against the hair, till, to paraphrase Cas-

Quite the most startling effect in mil
linery comes from a low crowned hat,
with dropping leghorn brlm, from whose
very middle starts an amazing fan of
five big plumes, all radiating from a
brilliant buckle. Really, a comic opera
queen could hardly do more, and yet
the maid who wears it may be demurely
serene, for she is only wearing what
fashion permits. F'LORETTE.

Cripple Creek, Colorado, will soon hold
a carnival of sports, of which the prin-
cipal feature Is to be a. genuine bull
fight, after the Spanish fashion, with all
the fxings and trimmings. A pen 40
feet in diameter has been constructed,
and seats to accommodate 10000 per-
sons are to be built around it. Two to-
readers from Mexico City have been
engaged to conduct the fight. This, it
is claimed, will be the first real bull,
fight ever given in the United States.
The local authorities say the fight will
be prevented, but the management is
confident of being able to 'juggle the
law" until the fight is over.

OFFICERS OF THE l.. A. w.

The rapid growth of the L. A. w and
the business that falls upon it's officials
is impressing wheelmen with the idea
that in order to secure good, capable
men in the near future they must make
their Offices saleried. Ex-Chief Consul
George r. Bidwell OF New York in
discussing the situation, says: The
league is no longer plaything, and
should be run on business principles.
We should no longer expect men like
Potter, Wilson and Perkins to sac
rifice their time and business. The
officers Of the league should be paid
officials, with Offices in some city like
New York. Itwould pay wheelmen to
adopt salary system, for experienced
men could gain for them more benefits
than mere volunteers in the way Of
favorable laws, good roads. and rail
road privileges. The state chief consuls
too should not be asked to work for
nothing. If they give up part Of their
time they should be paid for it by a
percentage Of membership fees. The
racing board should earn at least $40,
600 year instead of being an expense.
Some such system as is adopted by the
NATIONAL Trotting association should be

BATTLE OF THE BbOOMERS.

The women Of Orlando. Fla, are all
agog with excitement over the bloomer
question.
Some two months ago the women
formed bicycle club and at the recent
regular monthly meeting. the question
OF adopting a costume came up. One
young lady, noted for experiences on the
wheel, introduced a resolution requiring
members to adopt the bloomer costume.
This resolution led to q heated debate,
which grew 50 warm at times that hair
pulling seemed to be imminent. The
principal opposition came from half a
dozen young ladies who are engaged to
be married. They said that their lovers
objected to their riding bicycles, and
that if they appeared in bloomers they
were sure their lovers would abandon
them altogether.
Some OF the matrons were also bitter
against the resolution, declaring that
they would quit the club before they
would disgrace themselves by appear
ing in such heathenish garb. However,
the advocates Of boomers were in a
majority and carried the resolution.
The opponents Of boomers Immediately
withdrew from the club and say that
they will boycott socially the women
who appear in such costume, They
also threaten to go before the town
council and secure the passage of an
ordinance forbidding women to appear
on the street in boomers. Everybody
in.the town has taken sides in the con-
troversy and the feeling between the
bloomer and anti-bloomer factions is
warm.
To bloom or not to bloom, is now the
question in the Land Of Flowers.
The police Of Victoria, B. G. have
declared against bloomers, and will not
allow them to be worn on the streets,
while the city fathers Tor rather gran
nies) Of Westport, Mo-, have commenced
a crusade against them which is likely
to succeed.
In contrast with this is the news that
the rational garb is becoming very popu-
lar in some Of the higher educational
institutions for the female sex, notably
at Ann Arbor, Mich, where many Of
the GOO students have adopted them for
daily wear.
The women cyclists OF Grand Rapids,
Mich, have also decided to adopt the
bloomer costume.

The Rise IN Beef.

There is a great deal of excitement
throughout the east over the sudden
discovery that the supply of beef cattle
has become very short. The first i'm
pulse everywhere has been to attribute
the supposed scarcity of cattle to COM
bine made by the Chicago, Kansas City
and Omaha packers and shippers and
even the Secretary of Agriculture has
started an investigation to ascertain If
this be true. Doubtless these shrewd
buyers have been better Informed as to
the supply than other people and have
taken advantage of their Information
and n ade money out of it; but that
very considerable shortage exists IS APP

most prominent growers. Since that
time less attention has been given to
the industry until the actual condition
now exists that cattle are scarce. In
our own county where, ten years ago,
many men were rank ed wealthy on ac-
count of the live stock they owned, the
industry has since fallen into the sump
and cattle are now counted by hundreds

thousands were used; and what is true

Texas to Manitoba. Four years ago We
heard prominent stock raiser OF
Owyhee county predict exactly the con-
lE1on of affairs which now exists and
declare that there never had been a
better time to go into the cattle raising
business. Yet to-day that same man
has fewer cattle than he had four years
ago. The present situation was dimiy

waited for the demand toseome without
being prepared TO meet it. Beef has
