d rare variety for this country. He was
q Polish-Jew who came to America sew
eral years ago but had become dsgusted
with the country and was going back to
his native land where he seemed to think

rarely that a representative of this perse-
cuted race who comes to the United
States ever experiences the least desire
to return to lands ruled by despots, but
there is one at least. II is perhaps worthy
OF note that nobody tried TO stop him.

THE WHEEL GOOD FOR WHEELs.

Some who have watched the progress and conquests of the bicycle have no doubt that it is productive of a cer- tain kind of insanity in it's devotees but it may surprise them to learn that some whose business it is to try to cure insanity think that the bicycle will be very useful in their work. It appears that in many forms of insanity the bi- cycle, by necessarily diverting the at tention of the patients from their or dinary deranged mental processes, has proved of material service in modifying and correcting the abnormal brain con- ditions of many insane persons con- nected with the asylums of the country This has been true at the Michigan State Asylum for the Insane at Kala- nlazoo and the New York State Asylum for the Insane at Middletown. The consensus of opinion among physicians and alienists seems to be decidedly fla NOTdpIe UO the use OL the Wneel Dy the insane where it is possible. Of course there are some who could not master it at all, as there are among sane people, but the diversion of mind from un- healthy breeding, the open air exercise, the change of environment, the restor- ed self confidence and sense of respon- sibility and other benefits derivable from bicycling will, 1t is believed, have a curative influence in many cases. A recognized lunatic on bicycle might not be a very safe person to be in the way of, but perhaps he wouldn't | be any more dangerous than some of the unrecognized lunatics who go about on bicycles

 For wear with fur or cloth outer gar ments there is no end of neckWear in pretty fur affairs. The most abundant sort is an elaborated "beastie," and consists of a round collar, where col lection of tails is placed All furs in use are fashioned into these affairs, and though they cannot make light weight Jacket seem warm, still they give a look of coziness and afford some protection. Magnificent boas are of- fered which are also an eXaggeration of the beastie Idea, for though from a yard to two yards in length and very large around, one end is usually finish ed with @ large head and the other with bunch of tails. These come in a new Russian fur, black and brown, and are very swagger. Many muffs have great-grandmother frills at the open ings, and are big, cosy and quaint, and made of most everything.
