That evening he contrived to make a
stealthy entry into the grapehouse and
to cut the roots Of all the vines Early
the next morning he did the like dam

revenge, but 1t soothed him. Suspecting
that his malfeasance among the vines
must soon be discovered, he held him

every word spoken by the people about
him he sought new forms of mischief,
His troublesome cough kept him In
mind of the wrong he had suffered. It
urged him to malicious activity. But

straight and the collar Of his filthy coat
always turned up to shield the scraggy,
collarless neck. Observe him in motion

Bicycle GrOOms.

There is one difficulty in the path OF
women who ride the bicycle which is
not felt by those who are sisters, cous-
ms or aunts to any member Of the male
persuasion, but which nevertheless is
an obstacle for those who are not, since
the finding Of a bicycle escort is no tri-
fling matter. Very emphatically a wom-
an should not 60 far from home on her
wheel alone, not only because Of the
possibility of a breakdown in some part
Of her machine, which, after all, is of
delicate construction, and the conse-
quent walk home, but because Of the
fear Of tramps and vicious boys.
From this necessity Of women who
have no men to ride with them will
doubtless he evolved new position for
respectable young men-that Of bicycle
groom. 1t soon may be no uncommon
sight to see a bevy Of girls, all awheel,
under the charge Of responsible lad
who can be depended upon to pump

bolts, adjust saddles, oil pedals and at
tend to the thousand and one details
from which feminine muscles and femi-
nine understandings shrink abjectly. -

"Take a tennis net, fish net or ham,
mock that may be cut the desired size
and fasten it to the rings Of curtain

It to fall to the ground. Then weave
white flowers in and out the meshes,
taking ferns or delicately cut foliage for
a fringed border, being careful not to
give too solid an appearance, and cover
looping cords with rope of flowers
White narcissus, lilacs and honeysuckle
with white clover ropes may be used,
but any flowers in season may be util-
ized-daisies, spireas, apple or plum
blossoms, roses, chrysanthemums, any

Figaro tells an amusing story about
M. Ricard, the minister of justice. Some
time ago he bought two launches of
kangaroo at shop where frozen meats
from Australia are sold. He had them
served up "a la sauce poivade. His
guests, vino were curious to try this
"plat exotique," found it anything but
suited to their taste. The kangaroo had
a most peculiar flavor. M. Ricard was
naturally much vexed. He made com,
plant to the shopkeeper and asked him
to taste the remains of the dish. 1t was
then discovered that the launches had
been cooked in lamp oil instead of olive
oil, but it is not known who made this
substitution in the minister's cuisine.
