The second picture shows a very

sCoRCHING BAD FORM.

Don't allow two young men, one on
either side to speed you, by catching
hold Of the handles and pulling you
along. It's dangerous. and may result
in a bad accident. Then, again. it
doesn't look well, and attracts atten-
ton.
If one fears the attention Of pedestri-
ans, wear veil, not thick enough 10
affect the vision. 1t viii protect the
face from dust, and thoroughly con-
ceal identity.
Don't try to ride rapidly. Fast rid
ing meets with accidents sooner or
later, and a woman in a smash-up does
not appear to advantage. It's bad bike
form, too. For the same reason, be
careful about coasting, and always be
certain in advance that the brake is in
good working order.
Always respect the feelings of pedes-
TRANS, and be careful of their safety.
In the streets frequently crossed, ride
as slowly as possible. Kindly consider
alton Of the pedestrians will beget the
same for the wheeler.
Thus il can be seen that the true
woman wheeler has more to learn i'll
bicycling than the mere pushing of
pedals.

Tor external beauty, being of brown
brick and unambitious architecture, bur
the interior is as magnificent as thar
at Santiago. The general decoration is

OF gliding and brilliant coloring dazzle
the eyes, in the halls there is a pro-
fusion of statuary, brcS-e and marble,

THE TOWN SHE OWNS.
The sonora, of course, has a great
number of servants. Many Of them
are clad in gold and plush. They are
drawn from the peasantry of her es-
tates and the supply is scarcely eX-
haustible.
The gardens are delightful and would
be especially SO TO one little weary Of
the splendor of tie Senora's houses.
They include examples of many schools
Of gardening, copied from famous orig
1nals. Walking through them one may
enjoy the stately beauty of the Italian
balustrades, and the charming neat
ness Of the Dutch, with its rich, we'll
filed flower beds.
OF late years the residence at Lota
has enjoyed her favor almost to the
exclusion Of the others. This was built
under her personal supervision some
ten years ago. Lota is a town of some
5000 inhabitants on the southern coast
of Chilli. Their Hvelihoods depend on
her coal mines, and the town is en-
Urely owned by her.
The shafts of these coal mines at
Lota come almost TO the waters edge,
traordinarily low. She has fleet of
seven or eight Steamships engaged in
carrying coal to various South Amer
lean ports They bring back copper
and silver ore from her own and other
mines TO be smelted at Lota.
From her coal mines alone she is
said 10 derive an income Of $4,000
month. At one time she had a monop
oily Of the supply of good Gillian coal.
To mine il and deliver il on shipboard
cost her 81. . a ton, and she sold it at
a trifie less than $780, at that time the
cost Of imported English coal.
The mansion stands on the cliff, just
outside the town. and overlooking the
charming bay Of Lota- It is in park
Of $50 acres, even more magnificent
than the immediate surroundings of
Macul.
Although the sonora is profuse in her
gifts she is rigid in business matters.
None Of her employees can misappro-
pirate a dollar without danger Of de-
lection. Her business ability is Slightly
indicated by the establishment OF gen.
eral stores at Lofa, whereby the money
which she pays as wages quickly re-
turns to her own pockets.
The list of the sources of her wealth
might be continued Indefinitely by go
ing into such trifling details as banks
and potteries. Her money-spending
powers are only equaled by her money
making powers. She leads &, golden
existence. If the late NJ. Dumas had
known her he would have acknowl-
edged that his Monte Cristo" was

1t is impossible to mention the
name of Redfern without at once
thinking Of smart taiIor-made gowns
and elegant coats. The skirts Of
all the gowns are getting fuller and
fuller. Experts now cut the hem
unevenly, so that they set within
each pleat on the same level as with
out each pleat. Never was there such
an amount of stuff used in cloth as
there is today. What with the enor-
nous skirts and monstrous sleeves,
there is a strong inclination to in
troduce into favor the 1ong-shoulder
seam with the sleeve going decided
ly downward, but as yet this style
is seldom adopted, a truth perhaps
due to the fact that only slim women
with remarkably good figures can
wear the long-shoulder seam effect
becomingly. At least this is what

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORk,July lS-Young ladies
Of the fashionable world, and, for
that matter, the older ones, too,
who have become slaves of the
wheel, have recently been discussing
the urgent need of a recognized for
mula Of bicycle etiquette
AS far as swelldom is concerned.
the sport is in its infancy; every
thing is crude and unconventional to
the delicately nurtured social eye,
and the young buds of the ballroom
are all at sea when they find them
selves out on the road spinning
along on the democratic bike" It
may not be long before regular pro-
fessors Of bicycle department will be
making the rounds of the homes of
the rich, instructing the maids and
matrons in the etiquette Of the wheel,
just as the little boys and girls are
now being taught the polite arts of
the ballroom.
But at the moment everything is
chaotic in this most important field
Of the fashionable woman. She uses
her good common-sense and her
innate gentlity as a sufficient guide
to correctly meet the ordinary hap
penings Of life a-wheel, but bicycling
is no ordinary sport. and happen
ings of an extraordinary kind con-
tinually occur. The laws of conven-
tional life cannot apply to these IN
foreseen events, and the welI-bred
woman who insists upon being con-
ventiOnal, and at the same time a
bicyclist, does not know quite where
she is at.
The instructors in the big acad-
ennies where women are taught to
ride the bicycle are taking cogni-
zance of the peculiar state OF affairs,
and instill in the minds of their pu-
pills a few OF the primary laws OF
wheel etiquette, while their bodies
are being educated in the mysteries
of the bike
POINTERS ON BIKE MANNERS.
Here are some of the etiquette rules
which a fashionable girl said she re-
ceived from the woman instructor of
the academy where she rides. She az
knowledged that she may have forgot
ten some of them, just as she forgeIs
the vital point in the art of dismount-
ing, and frequently comes a nasty
crOpper in consequence.
The first one was. never criticise a
fellow-bicyclist, particularly if she is a
woman and inclined to stoutness. The
moral of this is that in a few years you
may be stout yourself, and a bicycle
rider for the sole purpose of reducing
weight.
Another is, when you are riding in
the park or on the road and cranky
horse comes along which rears and
plunges at sight OF your bicycle, al
ways dismount without delay and turn
your wheel fat On the ground. Serious
runaway accidents can sometimes be
aVerted by a little courtesy of this
kind. II only takes a minute or two of
time. and as all women bicyclists ride
for pleasure, that much lost time Is of
little consequence to them.
Always keep to the right in riding.
You may be called names if you forget

must have walked a mile in this IN
comfortable manner when a wheelman
came along. He dismounted and asked
me what the matter was. I told him
I didn't know. Then he took hold of
my bike, turned it upside down and,
putting it between his legs gave ii a
good shaking. Then TO my surprise, it
worked all right.
Why didn't you do that?' he asked.
Before I knew what I was saying,
I replied:
Because I couldn't. I don't wear
boomers.
But I wear them now" she quite
unnecessarily added, the fact being
easily apparent.
THE BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO.
Coming back to the question of bike
manners, the other laws laid down are
these:
Don't ride on a bicycle built for two,
as it attracts attention and comments
from passersby, which may not be
pleasant. Avoid in every possible way
anything that will distinguish you in
a marked way from the grand army of
wheelers.
Some men in riding out with women
are inclined TO help the latter when d
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-07-21

this rule on a crowded road. In passing
a vehicle or wheel going in the same
direction it is usually safest to go by
them on the left. -rI
Try 10 foster the feeling of broth
erhood and sisterhood among all
wheelers. Remember that accidents
happen TO the best bicyclists lust as
they do in the best regulated families.
If anything goes wrong with q man
or woman wheeler. render any as
sistance you can. No man will take
advantage of such assistance to thrust
his acquaintance upon you at a future
time. He would run the risk of osfra-
cism by fellow bicyclists who, perhaps,
have sisters, wives or sweethearts de-
voted TO the sport. -
If you are unfortunate enough 10
have any accident happen to your
wheel, do not hesitate to acceptlEth he
profered assistance Of the first wheel
man who comes along. If he is of The
right kind, as he probably will be, he
will set your wheel right and then pur-
sue his journey Should he ever pass
you again he viii give 10 sign that he
had ever met you before.
BLOOMER ETIQUETTE.
DoIl De AFRAID to mention the word
boomers in the presence Of a man. If
he be Versed in bike manners, as all
true wheelers should be, he will regard
the word purely as one for ordinary
conversation. as il surely is, in bicycle
talk.
Right here the young lady inter
rupted her talk on bike etiquette to
say something about boomers. She did
not regard the garments favorably
when she first took TO bicycling, but
she thinks differently now. The way
Of her conversion happened in the fol-
lowing manner, as told by herself:
