It will be remembered that Hadfeid,
who was disqualified after winning the
Irvington-Milburn road race, was ae-
cused to having been paid to ride a GER
tain make of wheel and tires. Although
he denied the charge, it is certain that
Chairman Gideon has strong evidence or
he would not suspend him.

THE LOVELY GREEK.
Pays ~ Much Attention to Her Toilet ~

Pays ~ Much Attention to Her Toilet ~
Does Professional Beauty.
If the Grecian women were beauti-
full, It was not wonderful, considering
the care they gave themselves. The
fashionable Grecian woman was OF
free customs, but she was not depraved.
She resemtled professional beauty
moro than any other class of modern
women, but she was far superior in
learning and accomplishments. She
could be politician and write elo-
quent speeches for the head of the
republic to deliver. She was versed in
sciences, and taught them in public,
and she was also poetess, winning
her laurels over male competitors.
Her toilet was not her only and sole
occupation, though it did take great
part of the morning.
1t begins by her slaves frictioning
her from head to foot, then placing her
in bath of perfumed water, after
which she was again frictioned, this
time with ivory brushes, called
srigilles. This done, she is Amounted
with perfumed oils and aromatic fumi-
cations, and then. being wrapped in o
sheet, she is laid on a couch, where she
partakes of refreshment before the
dressing process begins
The hair is first attended to. 1t is
brushed, combed and rubbed with per-
fumes, then it is waved or curled with
hot irons previously to being dressed
in the latest fashion. Gold bands,
jeweled pins, pearls and silken nets
are in turn worn to complete the head
dress, which in itself is an artistic
study, as every statue of Venus tells
us. The hair being dressed, the eye
brows and eyelids are touched with
incense. and the teeth are brushed
with perfumed powders. A perfumed
water is also kept for some time in the
mouth to perfume the breath.
The whole person is finally sponged
with an astringent lotion to prevent
wrinkles, and, finally, the face and
neck are gently touched with u white
wash. The hands and feet are also
scrupulously attended to- They are
rubbed with softening pastes. and the
hands are dyed pink, and polished un-
til they shine like glass. --Philadelphia
Times.

ADDITIONAL DISPATCHES.

SECRETARY MORTON, of the agricul.

annual report. He strongly urges that
government inspection be extended to
all animals intended for food, and re-
ports an increasing demand in En-
gland for American horses. The secre-
tary hopes the gratuitous distribution
of seeds will be discontinued and con-
cludes his report by review of the
condition of American farmers and re-
flutes the idea that the farms of the
west are more heavily mortgaged than
those of the east. He says 72 per cent.
of farms in the United States are occu-

mortgages
