CELEBRITIES AND CYCLING.

James Whitcomb Riley has sold his
horse and bought bicycle.
William E. Gladstone recently said,
with smile, that he would be out Of
the fashion entirely if he did not learn
to ride bicycle.
Jean de Reszke. the great tenor, is
credited by his press agent with this:
"As cycling is the poetry Of motion, so
is singing the cycle of music.
Trenton is the only place that can
boast of bishop as bicyclist. Bishop
James A. McFaul of the Trenton do
cese is the only one of that ecclesiastical
dignity that has attempted to tame BIZ
cycle.
Rudyard Kipling, once pronounced
anticyclist, but now an enthusiastic
wheelman, has written dialect poem
entitled "How Breitmann Became Pres
ident on the Bicycle Ticket" Rudyard's
conversion seems thus to be assured
Uncle Adrian @. Arson, who has seen
the whirligig of time send generation
or two Of baseball players to oblivion,
while he still swings the ashen club, is
assiduously paying court to the bicycle
these days. THE electric cars may be
good enough, said he recently, but
when am in hurry l II use my wheel.
That will give me the added advantage
Of so much more preparatory exercise
and make ME more supple for practice
will tic hnyo. "

The bee is but one OF several plaques
that have to be set off per contra in the
ledger Of Terai joys. The fly is another
that common nuisance which infests the
Terai country as an chronological anon
aly-that is, house fly where houses there
are none.
Wherever in those regions the camp of
man is pitched, there do these dipterous
insects-these minimized harpies-swarm.
At night they arc only moderately &c
tive, but when the day has warmed a little
they fill the air with their discordant buzz
ing, and every teacup, milk jug or other
possible receptacle with thoir bodies Tho
only way of eating a breakfast in their
company is to take that meal in an inclo-
sure of mosquito netting, and even then
hundreds Of them contrive to effect an en-
trance, and being inside dispute each
mouthful between the plate or cup and lip.
Then there are sand flies, whose dimen-
sions are such as preclude seclusion by any
material that will admit the air and whose
stings are as aggravating as those of mos
quitoes And finally there is an insect
that, as an amateur entomologist call
the eye fly-an insect that attacks one dur
ing the heat of the day, and particularly
when one is open eyed for tiger, with the
set purpose of getting into ones eye.
That villainous insect does not sting. 1t
Is satisfied with committing suicide, when
the consequence is inflammation to the
eye that brushes out Its useless life, and it
persists, in spite Of frequent repulse, in
finding grave there. 1t is a nuisance
when it lodges about within foot of ones
face, aiming now Mt one eye, now at the
other. 1t is painfully SO when 1t perishes

NIar::ing Wheels.

Cycle Detective John d. Carroll thinks
the present method Of numbering wheels
is inadequate. He suggests putting the
numbers in a different place on the
wheel and to have every manufacturer
adopt letter or mark, to be stamped
before and after the number-thus,
1896, 203+ Then, if the thief desired TO
change it, he would have to file out the
star as well as the numbers and replace
the stars, which the metal would not
stand after filing. The use Of such stem
ellis would also prevent the addition of
figure, for the same reason. To then
ply his trade with even prospect of
success the cycle thief would have to
keep complete set of trade stencils,
which, if found in his possession, could
be used as evidence against him, even
though arrested on suspicion-the same
as burglars tools. A further improve
ment would be to place the number in
plain sight of every one Then if the
number had Undergone alteration ii
would be seen at once, and the buyer
could offer no excuse Chicago Times

COSTLY CYCLE FADs.
Silver characterization on Wheels and
Lamps That Cost Paltry 800.

Lamps That Cost . Paltry 300.
In anticipation of the season some
fashionables are ordering wheels with
silver adornments, handsome silver
lamps and other accessories. The foun-
dation of these wheels must always be
steel tubing, since the finer metals are
too soft for the purpose Yet they may
be made very beautiful, with silver
tracery over the entire frame, the pedals,
handle bars, saddle and tool bag fairly
incrusted with silver ornamentation.
The ends of the handle bar are some
times made of ivory, while the skirt
guard is laced with white silk cord.
For these ornate wheels silver lamps
are being prepared, which will range in
prices frc m $35 to 800, the latter style
being embedded with pearls. The cy-
clometers are made of nickel, with sill
yer mountings, and ON the handle bar is
fastened a dainty silver bracket, from
which hangs silver watch-price, sc
Toe clips will not be used with these
machines. The entire outfit will cost
$3.50 Still more handsomely decorated
than those just mentioned was a ma
chine purchased for $3.50 by the wife of
an English nobleman.
No gold whatever is being put upon
wheels. AS an experiment one wheel
was entirely plated with gold, but with
very unsatisfactory results. Our fash
ionables will trust themselves only ON
machines of solid metal Each rider,
however, will have her monogram or
crest on the silver name plate which is
fastened to the frame. These frames can
be secured at very reasonable figure
and are within reach Of every wheelwo-
man. New York Telegram.

The groom was gaunt and Of ma.

SiIancing a Tool Bag.

A silent" tool bag is the best both
for its contents and the riders nerves.
Unless the tools, ETC., carried fill the
bag sufficiently to preclude the possibil-
ity of rafting it is a good idea to roll
the articles either separately or together
in strips of flannel. This will also tend
to keep the tools free from rust and in
good general condition. Cy'

The financial community received with equa-
nimitv the announcement OF the dissolution OF
the Morgan bond syndicate. The full text Of
the announcements which is given in the news
columns. is well worth the attention of those
who are interested in the present bond ques-
ton for it makes clear the reasons which
prompted the formation Of the syndicate and
it forms an important addition 70 the current
financial discussion In his letter to the Presi-
dent. which forms part OF the syndicate ds-
solution announcement, Mr.. Morgan pledges his
influence and every effort in his power TO assist
the Government in it's public appeal for bonds
Knowing the vast financial resources and abil-
ity Of Mr. Morgan such n statement is OF I'm
portance and should aid materially In setting
all doubts at rest as to the success or the Gov
eminent loan 80 far as the Government IL con-
cerned The dissolution OF the syndicate was
expected as announced in this column last
week and 1t did not materially affect the finan-
cial situation. 1t is possible for MI Morgan
and his associates to make the lean a success
If the public fails. The loan will doubtless be
subscribed to and made success by the public
for the Government but the question comes
no again as to the results Of the loan SO far as
general business is concerned 1t has been EVIL
dent for the last few days that the public cX-
pected a modification Of the terms OF the Treas
IIry circular, but to-day's adVces from Wash
ington indicated that the call would stand AS
originally announced. and the better feeling IN
business circles noted Monday ana yesterday
was somewhat affected by this decision. Secre-
tarv Carlisle has assured New-iork bankers
however. that the loan will be placed without
causing any disturbance In the nnanciaI anu
