Statisticians turned their attention tC
the recent bicycle meet at Asbury park,
and have determined that thirty three pei
cent OF the average women cyolers wear
boomers and sixty per cent of both
males and females chew gum to prevent
their mouths becoming parched during
the exercise. That this isn't so terrible
as 1t might be, is seen from the fact that
forty per cent bend over while riding.
Prom these statistics one may at least
CLEAN the hope that ths day is not far dis
tant when women will put an end to the
folly of trailing bedraggled skirts about
the streets on wet weather. Certainly
those who wear boomers on the wheel
ought not to be afraid to wear them upon
a rainy day walk abroad, and all their
sisters should got over any squeamish-
ness they may feel at the prospect of
wearing short skirts when long skirts will
be a positive nuisance.

No Doubt About Mr.. Reeds Views.


Inasmuch as nobody doubts Mr.. Reed S
belief in sound money principles, and in
asmuch as his record is consistently and
absolutely that of a sound money Repub-
lican in Congress, it would be an I'm
necessary acknowledgment of the justice
of the demand voiced by the Herald, if
the ex-speaker were to issue to the public
constant announcements as to his own
financial views. Nobody really doubts
those views today. They are well known,
and have been voiced repeatedly and per
sistently by Mr.. Reed when the occasion
demanded. His record speaks for itself
as eloquently as any verbal statement of
his own could do; and for any journal
to press demand to the effect that Mr.
Reed should transform himself into daily
bulletin regarding his mental condition
ON financial matters would be no more
just than If the Advertiser were to reiter-
ate such a demand upon President Cleve-
land. OF course, the American people
have no doubt as to the attitude Of either
statesman; and each Is certain to be
found in opposition to the silver craze at
any time and under any circumstances.

Writers Who Were Confident They Would
Win Immortal Regulations.
1t is of course, pardonable that a great
man should have high opinion of him
self, says a recent writer. One cannot find
much fault with Wordsworth, even when
one reads that he spoke of himself as
writing on, though fully assured that his
poems would be unpopular, because he
knew that they would also be immortal!
Many other poets have laid to their souls
the same ilattering JUNCTION, and have been
content to wait for posterity, which, how
ever, has not always been content to read
them. Horace, speaking of his odes, said:
II have erected monument more durable
than brass and more regal than the lofty
heights of the pyramids, while Shake
speare, in one of his sonnets, used an OK
preston so similar that one suspects 1t at
once of being borrowed:
Not marble nor the gilded monument
OF princes shall outlive this lofty rhyme,
But you shall shine more bright in these con-
tents
Than unswept stone besmcared with sluttish
time.
Lord Tennyson too, is reported to have
said that the "Bugle Song" in "The
l.
language Walter Savage Landor was Of
opinion that his Imaginary Converse
lions" were of such literary value that
there had not been five volumes of prose to
equal them in 1000 years Coming to an

1t is related of Victor Hugo that, when
quite unknown, he walked into the office
of a certain publisher and tried to sell him
some poems. The publisher was not in
buying frame of mind, and Victor, as he
went out, said: "You have today thrown
