Unique Exhibition Proves Interesting
to Artistic Washington.

Yesterday hundreds of people were at
tracted to the Washington Light Infantry
Armory to see the Columbia bicycle posters

were heard on every side it is evident
that Washfngtonians are much interested
in this unique exhibition.

vorabte circumstances, being hung against

by hundreds OF electric lamps. The full
effect of every picture is brought out.
Almost every conceivable bicycle de-
sign is depicted in this most unique gallerr.
The prim old maid, happy in her inGe-
pendence. the young girl flying along enjoy
ing the full benefits Of cycling
delight. the old man out for his morning
constitutional. and the gay soubrette coast
ing swiftly by with song on her lips.
Among the well KNOWN names on the
posters are those of Louis j. Rhead the
father Of American poster art; F. L.

Hopes in the North W est i.

Hop growers in Washington and oregon
are greatly discoura ged over the outlook. A
representative who has just returned from
q tour of several months among the hop
markets of the world says that the stock on
hand will supply at least three-fifths of the
demand of the coming year and that none
but the choicest hops can hope to find n
market at any price during the nexttwelve
months. Already many of the largest hop
fields have been plowed up and the general
opinion seems to be that hop growing may
soon cease entirely in the northwest.
Ruinously low prices have prevailed for
several years, and the expert Is of the opin-
ion that the northwest growers cannot hope
profitably TO compete with the old estab-
shed hop fields of Europe.-Exchange

CARE OF THE SKIN.

EE ORE than one beauty has been ac-
IVA cused OF not allowing water to
touch her face. This is all nom
sense. Any one interested in preserv-
ing the complexion would soon find out
the error of this method. Many fair
ones follow the lead OF the harem beauty,
and after the morning bath, if the skin
needs cleansing, they use little almond
oil, dab Of cream, or n dry wash, in
which finely grated almond meal Is broug ght
into use.
No matter how skillfully rough pot or
eyebrow pencil are manipulat ted, the prying
sunbeams or merciless electric light will
reveal the secret Therefore, though adj
yisiEg all womankind to make themselves
as beautiful as possible, remember 1t is
wiser and in better taste to assist nature
by her own aids, as / have stated, rather
thau adopt artificial surface adornments
that are sooner or later bound to reveal
their deceptive qualities.

NEK VIENNA LACE.

yTIENNA guipUre is the name OF a new
lace, worked entirely in buttOnhole
stitch over fine cord. The design is
traced In cambria "a very fine material is
not necessary AMI this is lacked On enam
eled cloth, to keep the work flat. The
outlines OF the design are run or stitched
with coarse cotton or cream silk, and the
but tonhole stitch is worked over this and
over couple OF strands Of fine cord OF
thick silk; cream silk is used for the best
work, and it Is the most effective. The
whole OF the design is then filled in with
close rows OF buttonhole stitch, worked one
into the other. and the connecting loops
arc worked and interlaced at the same tiine.
The different forms in the design are con-
necsed by loops that are not worked into
the cambric, but lie over it, the cambria
being afterwa cut away from underneath.
The buttonboie stitches are worked into
the cambric to give flriruess.

Prohibition at Bar Harbor.

Prohibition is very unpopular at Bar

the constable for the to wn, who made some
arrests for violation OF the liquor law last
summer. was a candidate for reelection
and was defeated by an overwhelming
majority. Every other official who had
attempted to enforce the prolihitory law
was also turned down, and men known to
favor toierating the safe of liquor were
elected. The Lewiston Sun says that the
same sentiment exists in Lewiston and
in every city and large town in Maine. In
a total of between 1000 and 5000 votes
cast in the municipal elections IN Bangor
and Augusta the Prohibitionists polied but
1O6 votes. Portland has 400 saloons where
liquor Is sold.
