WHEELING 70 THE GRAVE,

An enthusiastic cyclist of this town
was told the other day that if he per-
sisted in going so fast and so far on
his wheel he might die of heart disease,
or something or other which people
who do not cycle never die Of. And
the infatuated one replied that if he
knew that his cycling would take five
years from his term of life he should
consider that he could afford the loss
on account of the fun he would have
while he lived and cycled. No doubt
many devotees of the wheel are of a
like mind. At any rate they act as If
they were. No probability of heart
disease, and no certainty Of bicycle
face or bicycle back" deter them from
wheeling on and wheeling ever. They
will die in time, of course, but they
seem to feel that they can. be sure
that when their time ito die comes they
will know that they have lived
If there are any cyclists who care
what the health sharps have to say
about them and their fun the advice
given by the London Lancet is perhaps
as sound and sensible as any they are
likely to get. That authority says that
no one should become an habitual
cyclist without medical consent Be-
fore committing himself to an opinion

hand; there are certain cardiac defects
which only become recognizable when
the subject is under the influence of
excitement or fatigue. A cyclist should
at first be content with moderate
pace, not exceeding twelve kilometres
per hour (about seven miles and a half
A higher rate of speed should only be

through a regular course of training

recommends at the slower rate. The
temptation to go quickly must be con-
trolled as far as possible. A bicycle
travels well-nigh of it's own accord, and
it is very hard to resist the "delirium
of speed" With a light machine on a
good road, and helped ever so little by
the breeze, an amateur, even when only
half-trained, can easily achieve his
twenty five kilometres within the hour
| Qfteen miles and a half. This is too
much, seeing that when doing from
fourteen to sixteen kilometres the rid
er's pulse rises to $50.
Shall it be eat, drink and cycle, for
tomorrow we die, or shall we listen
to the wise men, cycle with modera-
ton and die the day after tomorrow?

er places. He is the embodiment and
emblem of Austra-Hungary, and no
monarch could more truthfully eXclaim,
"L'etat-e'est moi" than the Emperor
Frances Joseph I. OF course, many of
the countries over which he holds THU
lar sway are, like Jerusalem, under
alien rule. Nevertheless, it is not too
much to say that he owes the retention
of those he still governs to his great
personal qualities. People talk glibly
in these days of the eastern question
and the partition of Turkey. DO they
ever reflect that the Austrian question
and the disintegration of Austria-Hun-
gary is much more serious and posi-
bly, more proXimate one? 1t is more
than probable that the death of the
present emperor would be the signal for
the disappearance of what we call Aus
tria from the map Of Europe.
Not by any means man of great in
tellectual brilliancy, the Emperor Franz
Josef is nevertheless possessed Of many
| accomplishments and splendid gifts.
Foremost among these is his facility for
languages. The f1uency with which he
speaks the various languages and dia-
lects of his empire, which is veritable
mcsaique of natfonallties, Is surprising.
He is an interchangeable worker, endowed
by nature with an iron constitution,
the faculty of grasping details rapidly.
and indefinite perseverance. His man
ners are charming, conspicuously so ev-
| en- in a country with a court celebrated
for elegance and amiability. He is
| shrewd, cautious, clear-headed, very
| conservative, and leaning much on the
| traditions of his great house; but affa-
Bile, courteous, and popular. What has
stood him in better stead, however, with
his people than all his accomplishments
and graces of mind and manners is his
goodness Of heart. Everybody who
| looks into the emperor's face must see
| there depicted single-nearted, whole
souled, duty-loving, benevolent, honest
soldier and gentleman. The emperor
from the day of his accession to the
throne has always set a nigh ideal be-
fore him, and has resolutely striven to
live up to it.

much Of late, but carries his years

sadness in his face, there is an infinity
of kindness and good-hearted German
| humanity in his clear blue eyes.--The

and the same is true, though in lesser
degree of fur trimmings for elegant
dresses. This rule in both its branches
is carefully obeyed in the garments OF
this sketch. The cape shown is of the
finest astrakan. Yoke and collar are OF
tiger skin, the latter bordered with a
narrow strip of ermine. The sleeves
are of novel cut, as they can be left
open to form a cape, or can be closed
by elastic straps and buttons.
For the trimming Of the companion
costume anything less than most ele-
giant fur would be altogether out of
keeping, for the dress itself is of black
velvet. Its skirt is untrimmed, but the
bodice is ornamented with handsome
jet buttons and has a rolling collar and
cuffs of ermine The toque worn with
this dress harmonizes with it, consisting
of a band of ermine that encircles a jet
crown, and is trimmed with white satin
ribbon and a fine aigrette.

The High School girls of Pontiac,
Michigan, who recently organized a
football team, have been taken aback
iby the very general interest the public
has shown in their novel departure, and
have also been much hurt and huffed
by some of the comments, and especial
ly the f1ippant remarks Of the newspa-
per humorists of that region. A few
days ago they published a dignified and
curt statement, saying on behalf of the
members Of the team that "the sole in
tention of their organization was not to
play or practice in public, not to play
any other team whatever, not to adopt
freakish costumes, or to create a sensa-
tion, and decidedly not to make their

exercise and recreation only. ANY fur

A queer case is reported from Sydney,
Australia. A man was convicted by a
jury for having tried to poison his
wife with arsenic. His lawyer obtained
"a reconsideration of the sentence by a
commission appointed by the legisla-
lure, consisting of two doctors and a
lawyer, who pronounced him innocent,
the doctors voting down the lawyer,
who thought him guilty. The man was
set free in consequence. Subsequently
one of his lawyers, moved by conscience

man had confessed his guilt to him at

was brought before the legislature.

remaining shelves. The lower doors

elaborate pattern serve as ornaments.

any other material, the shape you de-

the ribbon off into length as you finish
each row. Then commence to darn the

and reversing the order in the next
row, so that squares are formed. A
pretty handkerchief sachet could be
made of blue satin ribbon and silver
braid of the same width. Slippers
would look well in black satin ribbon
and gold braid. A pretty pincushion
could be made of rather wide satin rib
bon all one color, with trimmings of
lace and bows at the corners. A large
bag would be effective with tartan and
black ribbon for the bottom part, and
plush to match one of the colors in the
plaid at the top, finishing Off with cord

A cloak that will go on easily and not
crush the frills and sleeves will delight
the little maid who is inclined to look
upon wraps as nuisance. Light
weight cloth in medium shade of old
rose, or pretty broken plaid in old
rose, white and black, makes pretty
and serviceable cloak. The skirt is
gathered very full on shallow, square
yoke, which fits easily and has big
granny sleeves. A detachable cape
formed by three ruffles ties with black
ribbon streamers three inches wide,
concealing the yoke. Each rufie is
edged with three rows of Tom Thumb
velvet ribbon. A shirred black silk
hat with double fril of black chiffon
embroidered in old rose gives protec-
ton from sun and wind.
In wash dresses the array Is even
more tempting, and surely the choice
among cotton stuffs was never less linn
tied. Ginghams for morning and pref
ty striped or plain batistes or lowered
muslins for evening, with perhaps
white china silk and white null for
extra occasions, are the selection of
sensible mothers, leaving the stiff ham,
burgs, rustling with starch, and the be-
ribboned swisses over colored cambrics
to the woman with gaudy taste, who
thinks them real elegant, poor thing.

are a coat sleeve, with a large puff

The sixth model will probably prove
the favorite. as it Is dainty, yet easily
Numbered. It Is made up In white,

Is laid in tine cluster plaits, and forms
s'slip. A deep round cape of plain
scarlet or blue, with rows of white
braid, put on without fullness around
the neck Of the slip. which Is well
rounded, and fits snugly over the shoul-
ders. The ruffle sleeves are the Same
depth as the neck brill. The guimpe
may be white or q solid,oolor. This Is a
model play dress, and can be admirably
developed In galatea cloth or any Of the
wash materials. The china silk will be
charming If adapted to this style. Have
