Would Cost the British Government S1,-
 OOO,OOO to Change Their Pitch.
 The British army bands use the high pitch, the queens regulations running as follows: Tn order to insure uni formity throughout the regimental bands of the service the instruments are to be of the same pitch as that adopted by the Philharmonic society. The Philharmonic society has recently decided to adopt the lower pitch, and, accordingly, the queens regulations will doubtless have to be amended. It is estimated by competent authority that the cost of altering the instru- ments of the army bands to the lower pitch would amount to between 200,- GOO and s 30O,OO0; but it is more than doubtful if any chancellor of the ex- chequer would spend so large a sum for such purpose.

 tending Grooms and Maids.
 The form of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only a ques- tion of a short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure a situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have a code for riding and driving that is as memorable as that they should not eat with their knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in- sists on an upright position, with, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will GO for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

IMPRISONED FOUR DAYS,
Only Bare Possibility That the Men
 Are Alive.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 1.-In Twin shaft at Pittston ffty-nine men have now been imprisoned four days and still there is no way to reach them. Six men who attempted to crawl over the two falls last night and had to re- treat, promised to renew the attempt today.
 Milne Inspector Roderick when asked if there was any possibility of the men being alive, replied: There is a bare possibility, that is all."
