BOOMERS WILL NOT LAST.
So Says an Inventor of a Bicycle Cos
tune.

tune.
"Bloomers may, perhaps, be worn by
certain class of women cyclists, but
they will not prevail" says Mrs Alice
Nash, a well-known wheelwoman OF
Minneapolis, according to an exchange
"They are for the most part ungainly
in appearance" continued Mrs. Nash,
'and for that reason, as well as for the
question of their strict propriety, they
will not come into universal use. The
ideal costume is that which combines
the convenience of the bloomer with
the modesty of the skirt, and this. 1
think, will be the future aim of dress
reformers." Mrs. Nash has put her
ideas into practice and has contrived a
costume which comb ines bloomers and
skirt. Several Minneapolis women
have adopted it and wear it not only for
bicycling, but also for skating and other
outdoor sports. The costume consists
of short skirt, to the hem of which
beneath is attached a short pair of
boomers extending just below the knee.
The attachment of the boomers to the
skirt prevents the latter from blowing
up, and the combination affords perfect
freedom Of limp. Leggings are worn
over the stockings. The costume is
put on like an ordinary pair of mems
trousers, is made of tweed or similar
strong material, and is fashioned with
side pockets. Waists and jackets of the
prevailing styles may be worn and the
same of the hat. That worn by Mrs.
Nash has the shape of fried egg, but
is very neat and dainty withal.

He Was Only Curious.

When the photographer came out Of
the dark room, he found the man who
had ordered some photographs some
three weeks before looking over an al
bum.
"Oh, you've come for those photos"
began the photographer, with the air
Of one who has a guilty conscience.
''Not at all, not at all, - replied the
stranger carelessly. "Iwas passing, you
know, and just dropped in.
II am very sorry" said the photog
rapher, "but you know the weather.
ooh, don't distress yourself" inter-
rupted the patron again. "The question
Of the photographs is immaterial. I just
came in to have you settle dispute -
"With pleasure, said the photograph
er, with evident relief "What is it?''
"Well, I had an argument with a
friend a little while ago." explained
the patron in pleasant, offhand man
ner. "He said that the habit of prOcras
tination was born in photographers;
that they can't help finishing jobs a
week or two after they have promised,
and that they really don't intend to lie
when they say you can surely have your
photographs the latter part Of next
week"
''But the clouds - began the photog
rapher in an apologize way.
ooh, they have nothing to do with it
at all. It is purely matter of ethics,
you know. l told him that some photog-
raphe-s were not that way, but he de-
MED it, and we got into row. Then
we agreed to leave it to you. Now, all
you have to do is to tell me the name CT
a man who once got job done on time
and I'll win.
"Why, sir, r. The photographer
began to show some nervousness.
"Can't recall it offhand, I suppose, )"
said the patron cheerily. "But there
must be one. Never mind bothering
your head now, though. The name will
come to you in day or two, and then
you can drop me line.
"Oh, never mind them. It must be
the weather, of course We've had one
or two cloudy days, some with bright
sunshine and some with medium bright
sunshine, since you first promised to
have them done, but I suppose none of
these weather samples exactly suited.
You can send the photographs up when
you send the answer to- my question.
Good day."

the patron had gone, ''put everything
else aside and see that those Robinson

" W SoA' has just set out
from Philadelphia for the region of the
Sudan, the most dangerous mission field
in the world.
The party is under the leadership Of
the Rev. Peter Cameron Scott, an en-
thusiastic and determined young clergy
man. He has spent seven of the % years
Of his life i'll Africa, two years Of that
time in the interior of the dark CONT
nent. Among those who will accompany
him on his perilous mission is his sis
ter, Miss Margaret Scott, who has re-
Gently returned from missionary work
on the Kongo river. Before beginning
their pilgrimage to darkest Africa they
expressed the belief that they would be
successful in overcoming the supersti-
tions and bitter prejudices Of the saw
ages and were full Of hope and courage.
It is the purpose of Mr.. Scott and his
associates to land at Mombasa, on the
eastern coast Of Africa, and proceed at
once to Mount Kilima-N jaro, where a
station will be established. From this
point the missionaries will work north
ward along the mountains Of the Sudan.
Little if any Christian missionary
work has hitherto been done in this vast
region of eastern Africa, where there
are 10000, 900 people wholly without
the teachings Of the gospel. It is &C.
knowledged to be the most perilous mis-
sion field in the world, both ON account
Of the climate and the bitter hatred and
hostility Of the Moslems, who hold al
most undisputed sway in that portion of
the dark continent. Facing the dangers
of disease, the savage natives and the
bloodthirsty and marauding Arabs, this
little band of Christian teachers carry
their lives in their hands, and that some
or all Of them will be sacrificed on the
altar Of their devotion seems more than
probable.

COLONEL JOHN NJ. WILSON.
Nnrft Colonel Wilson was recently trans.
fsrred from Washington to the northeast
division, which includes New York and
New England.
Colonel Wilson has had the rather
unique and, for an army officer, unusu.
al experience Of having refused to drink
with two presidents Of the United
States. The first OCCASION was at the
close of the long and fatiguing day Of
Cleveland's first Inauguration, in con.
Quoting the details Of which Colonel
Wilson had an important part. When it
was all over the president suggested that
they take ''quiet little drink togeth.
er. A decanter of whisky was pro.
duced. With moral courage not less
conspicuous than had been his physical
courage in the time Of war the colonel
firmly declined the invitation of the ma
tion's chief executive, saying, II can
not join you in drink Of whisky, for I
have never drunk spirits and never mean
to dose. - The colonel therefore pledged
the presidents health in a glass Of apol-
inaris. He had similar experience on,
the occasion of Harrison Inauguration.
As before, the president. after con-
graduating him upon the successful
management of the ceremonies, suggest
ed that they take q drink together IN
honor of the occasion. Colonel Wilson
again declined, and drank President
Harrison's health in glass'cf water.
Colonel Wilson has had rather
brilliant military career and combines
in a high degree the distinguishing
traits of soldier and gentleman. He
was born in the District Of Columbia,
and is about 81 years of age. He entered
West Point in 1856. being appointed
from Washington territory, and gradu.
ated in 1860, joining the engineer corps,
with which he has since been connected
He served with distinction all through
the war Of the rebellion and was sue
cessively promoted for gallant and mel
itorious service in the battle OF Gaines
Mill, Va, at Malvern Hill, during the
campaign around Mobile, in the capture
Of Spanish Fort and at Fort Blakeley
Ala. His present rank is that Of lieu
tenant colonel of engineers During
President Cleveland's two terms he has
held the position Of superintendent OF
public buildings and grounds at Wash
ington. For four years he was superin-
tendent of the United States Military
academy at West Point.
