EXPANSION.

It is already evident that the revolu- tions of the bicycle are going to be powerful aids in the revolution which is now going on in the status of Wo- man. The bicycle adds to Woman s freedom It lures her into good air and
 beneficial exercise. It tends to cure the tinidity and shrinking which are no longer thought to be charming in her. It encourages rational dressing. The women who dare to wear con- venient clothes when awheel will soon dare to wear them in the house and when taking their walks abroad. Ex- pansion of view and thought will surely come to women who ride the wheel. And along with expansion of mind will come expansion of body. There will inevitably be an expansion in the size and symmetry of the legs of Woman, until she may rival in that respect the very best effects that can be produced
 in athletic man. And best and most encouraging of all, there will be an ex- pansion in the size of her waist. A wasp waist doesn't go we'll with a bi- cycle. There has already been such an expansion of Woman's waist as a re- suit of bicycle riding that the edict has gone forth from the fashion makers of

4 MAN ORATOR.

A Man Orator stood up before 1S 900 people in Madison Square Garden last evening and nobly and adequately advocated Patriotism and Sound Mon- ey. He moved his audience and he didn't move thousands of them out of the building as soon as he began to speak, The great meeting was in ali respects impressive and encouraging Every member of the vast audience had an American flag in his hand and the American spirit was powerfully in evidence.
 The nations credit and honor must and shall be preserved. No compro- mise with repudiation and treason.

THE FIGHT OF THE MASSES.

The supporters of the Boy Orator are fond of saying that the present cam- paign is the fight Of the masses against the classes. It is certainly the fight of the masses, and there is nobody more deeply interested in it than the masses. The masses work for their daily bread. They are deeply interested in being paid in money that has large purchas- ing power and stability The masses have many millions deposited in saw ings banks. They are deeply interested in having the value of this money maintained. They will not be benefit ed by having it's value cut in two. The masses carry a great deal of life in surance in one form or another. They are deeply interested in having their insurance paid in 100-cent dollars in- stead of 53-cent dollars. The masses have much money in building and loan associations. They are deeply interest," ed in having the value of this money kept good. The masses are also deeply interested in having such condition of affairs in this country that business can be done with some safety and confidence. If there is a free silver panic they will be the ones who will be the most hurt by it, for they are most dependent upon sound business | activity.
 | Yes indeed, it is the fight of the masses. If we come to the 53-cent dol- lar the masses will feel the loss of the l 47 cents more than the classes will. It | behooves both the masses and the classes to work together against the pernicious scheme of the silver men and against every scheme that menaces the prosperity and the stability of the coun- | try.

Paris, who regulate the styles for the women of the world, that the female waist measure must be increased by three or four Inches,
 of course with all this bicycle eX- panslon of Woman there is likely to be for awhile some undue expansion in the size of her head, But that will cure itself, and as time goes on she will become more and more beautiful as to her legs and waist and general con- tour and more and more glorious and powerful as to her mind. And as Wo- man is the hope of the world the world will owe Q unanimous vote of thanks to the bicycle for increasing and ex- banding the hope of the world.

F. M. BROWN & GO
PHOTOGRAPHING AND TOOTH IoTTT,T ING

U.
 As odd business partnership as ever imagined or described by Charles Dick ems exists in Sacramento street, above Dupont. The. parties to this business connection are q Chinese photographer and a Japanese dentist. They jointly occupy four small rooms on a second floor, which may be described as tooth carpentry, waiting-room, developing room and gallery.
 The dentist helps the photographer by complimenting customers on their improved appearance since their teeth have been fixed, and the artist tells his subjects that they would look better with store teeth. In addition to this, the photographer mallets in the filling to incisors and bicuspids, and the den- tist does an occasional turn at photo graphy. Their patrons are Japanese and Chinese. The two craftsmen ap- pear to be growing rich, as they ought to be, by reason of embracing the am bidexterity of a Yankee, with the craft of Machiavelh. San Francisco Call

AN 1NcoNs1srENr BOY ORATOR.

Even Boy Orators are not always consistent. For instance, MT. Bryan has not always been of the opinion that man could honorably and safely un- dertake to pay his debts in dollars less valuable than those he borrowed On the 18th of August, 1893, during a de- bate on the bill to repeal the Sherman silver purchase law, MT. Bryan deliv- cred long speech in opposition to the bill, in the course of which he said: If borrow thousand dollars to-day and next year pay the debt with thousand dollars, which will secure exactly as much of all things desirable as the $1, 900 which I borrowed, I have paid in honest dollars. If the money has in creased or decreased in purchasing power I have satisfied my debt with dishonest dollars.
 And yet Mir. Bryan is going about advocating dishonest dollars and hold ing out to debtors the idea that they will be able to cheat their creditors if they will only vote for him. He wants to be President more than he wants to be right.

F4ISHION NOTES.

An Annual Flutter of NIuslins and Lawns.
 At the beginning of each summer fashionable women say to each other that they think musllns are "so unsat-
 isfactory' and that they are not going to have any such dresses in their sum
 mer wardrobes. Then they talk about duck serge and mohatr, and advise that sheer garments and transparent materials really do not wear we'll, es- pecially at waterside resorts. Just the same, come August, and each of these women bursts into final flutter of muslin and lawn, It's just that way this year, and the mystery is where the women have been keeping all these lovely gowns. They appear without a flaw, a crease or slimpsy fold, This

Recently a priest in the west of Ire- land denounced certain songs that had become popular in the parish, and told the people that they must not sing them. T don't know their names,'' he explained, '.but every one of you knows the songs I mean, and in case you don't I'll whistle the airs" And he whistled them to his congregation.

year when pillows of muslin are taken to make a gown the mystery is a big ger one than ever. How did all those pleats, soft folds and unstiffened crisp puffs keep their freshness? They must have been in trunks all this time, Whisper! Not a bit of it, the real summer girl takes her dressmaker along with her, and all through July and August muslins are being made up. That is why the girls slant their eyes at each other and say, all through July, that muslins really will not do, and that they haven't brought any with them this year. All the time the pretty things are being put together The goods have been in the trunk perhaps, but the dresses never! and the girls who couldn't afford to bring along a dressmaker have been doing their mus lins and lawns themselves all through
 They may not be able to accomplish the wonderfully elaborate gowns that are occasionally seen, but the highest degree of daintness that is reallydesir- able is within the power of all of you that are fairly skillful. That degree is attained by the dress shown here, and attention to the details that follow will show that its construction is not com Jplex. In the original this dress was in white muslin, made with moderately wide skirt and plain blouse waist that was slightly gathered at the shoulders and tucked into the belt without darts or seams in back Its moderately full sleeves terminated at rt1 T .er
 belt was piece of bias white silk with large bow at the side. The same ma terial was used for the fichu with its double pleated ruffles; and the stock collar with wired loops, and the jabot, were of white silk null.

The great Lii Hung Chang, as seen by English reporters, goes to bed at 9:30 o'clock This is the habit of years, from which there is no deviation. He rises at 5:30 o'clock. This is the rule, subject to occasional variation. His personal attendants stand silently in his room at the time named. If, as oc- CUTS at long intervals, he does not wake then, he is left to sleep on. His at tendants continue motionless, for they have orders not to rouse their master. His Excellency always wakes of his own accord, by 5:45 at the latest. Hav- ing attired him, the attendants wash his face; he does not have a daily bath. A light breakfast next claims attention. This consists of tea and bowl of hot soup-sometimes meat broth, usually vermicelli. By o'clock, as a rule, the distinguished Chinaman is transacting business. His meals during the day are all served hot. He takes no cold food whatever. Li Hung Chang is in his seventy-fifth year, his digestion is

A larger number of school children enter the high schools in Massachusetts than in any other of the eastern States. It has been thought that there was a falling off in the attendance upon the high schools in different parts of the State, but the facts derived from the report of the Board of Education for the last year show that the attendance has greatly increased during recent years. In many places the number of pupils has doubled. Throughout the State a large per cent. of the children enter the high schools, while in many towns the percentage rises from 40 to 50 per cent. It is an indication both of the growing desire for higher education and of the increased ability of parents to gratify this desire.

The Baltimore Sun reports that a f1ea-infested house was ameliorated in the following manner: The man of the house took fresh sticky fly paper, wrapped sheets of it around each leg from ankle to knee, with the sticky side out, and slowly walked around the rooms, which were all darkened little. The feas invariably jumped on any thing white, and the fly paper caught them in great numbers.

A bicycle carrying, besides the rider a small child in a basket in front struck an obstruction in Philadelphia the other day, and the child was thrown forward on it's head and killed. The accident has again called attention to a practice that is getting more or less common among fathers of families who take their little children out for an airing on their bicycles The way the Phila- delphia authorities look upon this prac- tice may be inferred from the fact that it seriously proposed to hold the father in this case for manslaughter.

Silverites of South Dakota have de- vised way to make the State pay their share of the Bryan campaign expenses. They were short of ready money the party managers refused to accept contributions of farm produce, and the Pops hit upon the scheme of organizing prairie wolf hunts and turn ing over to the campaign fund the bounty of $2 for every scalp. They have already secured in this way sev- eral thousand dollars.
