The proper bicycle dress for women Is prob
ably the subject of more serious discussion and
experiment than any raiment she has ever worn
since the primeval mother arrayed herself in the
foliage OF Eden. Out OF 1t all some happy re-
suit will come. satisfying every requirement OF
grace and utility and giving to the woman a
freedom OF action and movement she has never
possessed since the impediment Of the skirt was
woven around her. like the entangling web Of

when II Is not an impediment; but she will no

adoption Of q suitable bicycle costume will es-

 z La4GG1lmpse of the Great Petition.
 The bright sunshine was streaming across the snow-covered avenues of the suburb of Evanston, H., making g pie ture suggestive of peace and prosperity, as we stopped at the home of Mrs. R. c. Shnnan, the 'smaker'' of the great peti- stion. To look upon the scene as viewed from the path leading to Mrs. Shuman's home, there was little apparent need for the voyage of the petition, for there was no visible sign of such a curse as the drink taaff1c in this prohibition town.
 Mrs. Shuman had just finished her last work upon the gigantic document, and was waiting for it to be boxed and carried away. In 8 pile near by the five great rolls at. our feet lay the belated sheets that had come in that morning, and while we were regretting that even these could not be added, the postman deposited an- other armful, which Mrs. Shuman, smil- ing, said was "sman mail"
 About how large has been your aver age mafi?" 'tPeOple have been unusually active in circulating the petitions lately, and last week received on an average seventy five letters day."
 ITO begin at the beginning-when was the petition first circulated?"
 "About twelve years ago-when Miss Willard was in California"
 
 And when did you take hold of it?" A'In June, 199O-almost five years ago. :" :'Can you estimate about what propor-

 The scene was a solemn one, for one could not thrust away the thought that there was more than miles of muslin and braid, paper and ink, silent and motion less. As box after box was fastened 1t seemed as if a million voices were raised in appeal and million pitiful hands raised for mercy, that the galling chains be stricken off and they be set free, and we fervently echoed the prayer, We beseech you in Gods name.",
 Thus was the great petition fairly start ed on it's unique mission-the greatest pe- tition in length that has ever been circu- lated, that of the chartists for the repeal of the corn law having held first place un- til now.

tion of your time has been spent in pre- pairing the petition?"
 "Yes, about two years, allowing eight hours of work a day. The number of hours can easily be estimated"
 Just here Mrs. Shuman showed us the loom where the 'pasting' or mounting had been done. It was her own cozy dining-room. The long strips of white cloth were laid on paperhanger's board, which in turn rested on the dining table.
 "On last Sunday" said Mrs. Shuman, "I could not put it away as usual, and the family had hardly room to move about but they were very patient!"
 About how much cloth have you used?" we asked, not being able to guess how many yards there might be coiled up at our feet.
 'I have used two thousand yards of cloth and over four thousand yards of braid. This does not include the materi- al used in the three rolls made in Eng land"
 Ut may seem a strange request, Mrs. Shuman, but might we see the machine upon which you stitched these four thou sand yards?"
 Very simply this earnest, modest wo- man answered, II did 1t all by hand" and we looked reverently at the fingers that had stitched over two miles of blue and red braid upon the white body of the pe- tition.
 "What task 1t has been," was our exclamation, and the response was both pathetic and humorous:
 "Yes, indeed. Many times when l have been more tired than usual have said wished that the men would behave themselves, and then we would not have Ito do this! If the nan es were in one column it would be much longer" con- tinued Mrs. Shuman, "but you see they are mounted three columns across.''
 "Three times two thousand yards of names How many names is that?'
 "One million, one hundred and twenty one thousand actual signatures and six million attestations; therefore, the peti- tiOn really voices the sentiment of over seven million people,"
 "Are any of these men?"
 cone million names are those of men who have indorsed the petition"
 "Have you had any special arrange ment for names?"
 "Yes; this roll, which is the smallest in actual size, Is really the most import ant one. Here are the names of digni- taries, men in authority, members of par liament, magistrates, ministers and cler- gymen (the distinction between these two is an English one), secretaries and Lon. don county. councillors. Do you want to look at the names?'' and giving def push to the roll, Mrs. Shuman stretched several yards of the petition across tht floor oi her sunny parlor.
