Now, as the thousands in the cube
given exceed 1875 and are less than 21e,
the tens in the reply must be 8. For the
second figure. or units, curious trick
comes in. The cubes of 1, 4. 6, 9 and
end in the same figures; the cube of 2 is
=; the cube of 0 ends in Z, and reversely
the cube Of ends in and the cube Of
z in 3.
So when the questioner says 100000

out loud on the instant, SO.

SMART COLLARS AND CAPEs.

Broad, deep collars or short capes
of heavy lace are very handsome over
close-ftting waists. They come at all
prices, but are never very cheap. One
of the new fashions is to have collar
made with six points of lace. Around
each point is sewed, full. finer lace,
about three inches in width. The neck
is finished with folded chiffon collar,
or ribbon, as is preferred. The COL
lar, made in this fashion, is very
dressy. It covers tie front and back
of the waist to the bust line and stands
out we'll over the full sleeve. These
collars can be made for much less
money than they can be bought tor IN
the shops.
Yokes of lace, with leep berthas
attached. are very smart little affairs
to wear over high cut waist or to
cover the neck and shoulders when a
low cut bodice is worn They, too,
arc finished with q chiffon, satin or
velvet ribbon collar.
Long, full, straight vest pieces OF
chiffon and lace insertion are ex-
tremely becoming. The chiffon is full
and laid in fine plaits. The piece OF
lace insertion goes between the folds OF
the chiffon, and the whole thing hangs
full over the waist line.

q speed of from twenty to twenty-five
miles an hour. The means by which
Ritchey has adapted the familiar road,
ster to the gauge of railway are as
follows: He has attached four-incb
fanged wheel, shaped exactly like Q
large spool, to rod in front OF the
hind wheel, and similar one on an
arm projecting about three feet in
front. In addition to this an eight
een-inch wheel at the end of a rod co.
arranged as not to interfere with the
working of the pedals, runs on the
other rail. In this way the machine
is perfectly balanced, and all the rider
has to do is to work the pedals in the
usual way. The inventor seems to
believe that before long semi.deserted
passenger trains will be followed by
an endless procession of "bikes," on
which idle conductors and despairing
news agents will gaze helplessly from
the rear platform, but just how the
objections of railway companies to
such use Of their tracks is to be over
come is not vouchssted.

A few are set with brilliants. but
though these are really worn by some
people of unquestioned good taste in
broad daylight over a tailor-made
gown, it is yet open to question
whether it is quite proper. Bracelets
of heavy silver log chains, fastened
with tiny paddock, are not new in
conception, but are in design. They
are not pretty either.
