THE CORRECT STATIONERY.
Monograms Are Small and 1nclosed in
Some Small Decorative Device.

The latest shape in Fashionable note
and letter paper measures fully one
fourth on an inch more in width than in
length. For instance the size used for
notes is five and quarter inches across,
and only five inches up and down. That
used for letters is trif1e larger. but of
the same shape. The extra width gives
the paper rather land of the wooden
shoe" look. which, however, disappears
when it is folded and placed in the long,
narrow envelope. with its square cut
flap; then when your letter finally makes
its appearance in public, it has quite
slender, well-bred air. AS for color, del
icate tints of blush tone are the favor
ties. There is azure, a pale gray blue;
sapphire, which somewhat resembles
the robins egg in color; silver gray, or,

cded, ask for "bleu du ro'

oblong, or what you fancy, so long as it
is quite small. This is placed in the
center of the sheet, about one-half inch
from the upper edge. If you wish your
residence address also on the paper, the
monogram is moved to the left and the
address stamped a the right, but rather
lower down on the sheet These little
monograms are veritable works of>art
so fine and dainty are they. All are
made from dies, which give the raised
appearance. Those which are illumin-
ated are first stamped on the paper with
out color: the ground color is then laid
on by hand after which it is again
stamped with the required bronze 1r
color. Two specimens especially at
tracted me. One was of "bleu du roi'
paper. whereon the monogram of silver
bronze shone out from a deep blue back
ground. The color of the other paper
was sapphire. and the groundwork Of
the shield Pompeiian red; the letters
were also in silver.
For use on mems stationery come
monograms of different character; the
designs are much bolder and are not
inclosed. Bronze is here the favorte
medium also. The paper is more con-
servative in form. A specimen of note
size measures six inches in length and
four and quarter inches in width. 1t
will readily be seen that envelopes for
this paper will be nearer square in shape
as it is not allowed to fold paper but
once. They have either square flap or
one very sharply pointed. The envel-
opes in all cases remain unstamped with
the monogram, although, if you so de-
sire, the residence address may appear
thereon without seriously compromising
you, but the seal must be reproduce
tion of the die used for the monogram,
and the wax match the color used in it.

THE SIX DAY WHEEL RIDERS
LOsked Like Human Wrecks at
the Finish
TWENTY FOUR HOURS REST
Finds Them Apparently as Well as
Could be Expected
Champion Hale is Hearty and Rice
Gained Five Pounds During the
Race-Others Pretty Well.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The men VINO
finished in the six days bicycle race left
the track Saturday night in pitiable
condition. They were apparently "a
man wrecks.
After twenty-four hours rest the ma
jority of them looked as well as usual.
Few of them complained of the effects
of the tremendous strain. Those who
were the leaders said today that they
suffered only from saddle gals and
numbness of their hands and wrists.
No man could have told that '"Teddy"
Hale had been riding six days and had
covered 1910 miles with less than eight
hours sleep, and yet he finished the race
in frightful agony.
Directly after the race physician ex-
amined Hale and found that he was in
excellent condition. He slept well until
8 a. M, and then ate his own breakfast
and Lumsden's as well and then
went to sleep again. He was awake
again at p. m. Even Rice, who was in
worse condition than any of the men,
was feeling we'll today. He went to
sleep at a. m. in the Putnam house and
woke at 8 a. m. He could not remember
much about the race, and tangled
things up bit, but this soon passed
away. Rice gained five pounds in
weight during the race. He himself
would not believe it, and went to the
scales before he would accept the gam.
He said he was sure that he could ride
1000 miles. Rice will return to Wilkes
barre on Tuesday, and says he will he
at work as usual on Wednesday.
Readin, the soldier who finished third,
was i'll today. The hard race brought on
an old trouble, and he was in great pain.
His physical pain during the past three
days was greater than that of any of the
others. But his mind did not wander
so much as some of those who took part
in the race. Smith, who looked as il he
was losing flesh, gained nine pounds.
Moore was pretty badly bruised up 10
the contest. After the race Schock yo5E
to his home. Major" Taylor was taken
to Brooklyn. The colored lad had his
legs strained in collision just before
the close of the race.
Harry Maddox went to his home in
Asbury Park. feeling little the worse
for the contest
Hale, Rice, Reading and Moore had
about eight hours sleep during the
race. Hale's average speed was about
151s miles an hour.

THE LONDON MARKET.
Business Dull and Trading Light
Wheat Prospects Good,

LONDON, Dec. 13.-Business on the
stock exchange has been on a limited
scale during the past week. The tone,
however, was weak, almost all markets
showing an advance. Home railway Sc
curities were flat early in the week on
the expected strike, but recovered rap
idly when the matter had been arranged.
Foreign securities were much 1ivelier.
The London Times expresses regret that
an endeavor was not made by British
capitalists to buy the Central Brazilian
railways, which are expected to go into
German syndicate, including the
krupps. African mines were better,
Paris having ceased their sales. Amer
lean securities were very quiet, with a
steady absorption of bonds for invest
ment. Lake Shore advanced 2. Other
wise the share list shows a generally
fractional decline on the week.
The weather during the last week has
been unsettled, but fairly favorable, and
the early sown wheat looks well. In

poor demand. Shippers were also more
willing to sell and consumers were dis

ing from his home down to the church,

seriousness. He remembered nothing fur
ther until he "came to himself" and dis
covered that he had been conducting a
