WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE action
of the Populist Senators in deciding to
put their own ticket in the field for

BICyCLING FOR LADIES
AND TENTLE NEN.

The easy. graceful, moderate. leiSu e.
ly style of bicycle riding is coming
into vogue and practice, particularly
with ladies. Ga the most popular
cycling roads, says an exchange. may
now be seen, any fair day, numbers of
ladies. alone or accompanied, riding
along easily, at Il pace of six or eight
miles an hour, and either enjoying the
landscape or chatting pleasantly. This
fact is really matter of great lmpol-
lance, and from the standpoint OF
good health and reasonable physical
exercise it is both noteworthy and Il
source of satisfaction.
Bicycling is comparatively new
exercise. Al hough there have been
heels and wheelmen for quarter OF
century, it is only within tour or
five years that the pastlme has be-
come 80 popular as to be almost uni
veisal. And. like every new exercise
it haa been done to excess, and is only
now beginning to be properly I'd
and made Il reasonable pleasure. he
little child that has just learned to
walk cannot make his little legs go
fast enough to keep up with his de-
sire to get over space, but by and by
he learns to walk with easy grace aud
to take such exercise as is both health
tul and pleasant. Bicycle exercis
mas scarcely passed the childish, III
rushing, the searching era, but it is
approaching the more graceful and
less impulsive stage. The impulse to
spin over the ground on wheel IS rs
irresistible. at first, as the toddler's
desire to fairly leap on from point t.
another, and evtr,thing is for-o ten
but the exhilaratlon and new excite
m-nr. 1t must be something like the
sensations of little bird the frs
time he tries his wings. But. AS
already suggested, ladies and gentle
men who ride the wheel are learning
that there is keen delight in riding
easily, gracefully, and leasurely. 1t
affords pleasure which ''scorchng
can never give. 1t permits CONVEX
sation: it allows observation and APP
probation of beautiful scenery. In
develops love of nature as we'll as
muscle and lung power. 1t does more
it prevents redness of face, shortness
Of breath, and superfuous perspira-
ton. The leisurely rider does not get
tired; for nice, easy pace may be-
continued hour after hour without
fatigue, and, after ride of this kind,
the rider is refreshed, and feels that
the exercise could be continued in
definitely.
There can be no doubt Of all this,
for ladies and gentlemen who are full,
competent to speak testify to the
pleasures Of riding a moderate pace.
Moreover, many are now practising
this style of riding, having overcome
their early impulses to rush from one
town to another or to "chase miles in
order to establish a record of no avail
to them it is made.
There will always be "scorchers"
and young beginners, and these will
continue to ride as if a cyclone were
fter them; but ladies and gentlemen
generally are surely adopting the
Ieisurely pace, and are enjoying it to
the fullest extent.
