a husband is generally useless; In Coo
massie 1t IS dangerous. The lady, wise in
her generation, forbore to risk her head,
but sent for the executi0ner, and caused
the ears and lips of the too fascinating
maiden to be removed, rendering her such
an object as can only be seen In savage
kingdoms.
History does not say II the expedient
answered the purpose Of restoring the
chiefs wandering affections to their right
full owner, but the slave girl developed,
not unnaturally, into a woman with an
undying thirst for revenge. Lately she
sought an audience with the governor and
informed him that the real treasure Of the
Ashantees lies buried some 80 feet below
the soil, In a dsused shaft of a mine near
Coomassie, and readily undertook to point
out the spot.
Digging is being vigorously carried on,
already more than a fourth OF the depth
has been cleared and should the treasure
amount to anything like the rumored val
ne, the cost OF the expedition will be fully
betrayed, making the Ashantee war re-
cord one, as not only bloodless, but free

nothing so gruesome as the Restaurant of

Among the numbers on the programme
of entertainment is one in which you look
through an aperture with your hat Off
and see yourself laid out in coffin with
flowers about you. A lecture Is given by
Charon, who tells you that Death Is mans

troubles that begin with your birth.
"A man and woman got into a coffin

talked with the funeral robes about them.
Then they appeared dead. The mould

by woman, whether following the road
of fashion upon wheels or pursuing the
ordinary course of life upon her two lit
tie feet.
The most important feature of the
bicycle skirt is its want of width. From
the waist to the saddle it is as we'll to
dispense with fullness. This way you
may look ungainly. Ungainly you are
bound to look on bicycle, viewed from
the back.
A very good authority asserts that the
bicycling skirt should measure only
some to III yards round the hem, and
the most convenient shape is buttoned
up either side. These buttons should be
left undone while riding, from the knees
only, be it understood, and the cloth
should Of course have q very wide wrap
so that no possible peep at the knicker-
bockers can be obtained, for the knick-
erbockers underneath, whatever may be
the skirt, go without saying, the ordi-
nary conventional lingerie Of woman
being out Of question ON the wheel
Some Of the bicycling dresses have
full trousers sewed in with the side
seams Of the skirt, but this appears to
have but scant advantages, the only one
being that the skirt under such circum-
stances is less likely to blow up, con-
tingency easily averted by simple
strap and button.
The norfolk jacket form of bodice
counts its votaries by large numbers.
As a summer garment it appears very
warm and lacks all measure of elegance
when left open, but for autumn it's suit
ability is apparent, and it promises to
be popu lar.
With either full knickerbockers or
any form Of skirt the Elton jacket finds
many advocates. 1t is worn with an Or
binary cambria or silk shirt. AS to
choice Of color in costume, the practical
person will adopt the various shades of
gray and dust tintS for obvious reasons,
and alpaca is much used material.
The knickerbocker suits with Elton jack
cts are pronounced by many ardent dew
otees Of tho wheel the best combina-
ton yet effected Of style, comfort and
suitability.

1t is impossible to discuss fashions

Bicycling is not an exercise intended
by nature to exploit to the best the out
lines Of the feminine form divine. But
fashion commands and woman obeys,
with results which are not altogether
satisfactory to those who love her best.
This is merely by the way. The impor
tant point is that too many costumes are
extremely unsuited to such exercise and
