The commissioners of indirect taxes
have published an interesting return
giving the number of bicycles in
France At the time of the exhibition
of 1889 IL was estimated that they num-
bered about 1000, but it was not until
1892 that tax was levied upon them,
and there were then 10000. The total
went up to 1872, 900 in 1893, while at the
end of last year the tax was paid upon
nearly 100, 900, this being at the rate OF
four for every 1000 inhabitants. But
the proportion is not, of course, uni
form throughout France, and while in
Corsica there are only seven bicycles
for every 100000 inhabitants, and only
one for every 1000 inhabitants in sew
cral of the mountainous departments,
there are nearly 900 to every 100000
inhabitants in two or three of the de-
partments around Paris, in which there
are about $4,000 bicycles. 1t is stated,
too, that about one in 20 Tor 5000 in alp
of the bicycles belong to women.

the money question. IL Is between the gold

Many of the Sioux Indians at Crow
Greek and Lower Brule agencies in
South Dakota are in a highly prosper
GUS condition-for Indians. In addi-
tion to fine furniture, carriages. and
carpets, many OF them have purchased
organs, and it is no uncommon sight
when travelling over the. reservations
to see costly instruments of this char
acter occupying places in log houses
whose exteriors present anything but
a cheerful or prosperous appearance.
Indian families that have invested their
surplus wealth in musical instruments
are the envy of all their neighbors un-
til the envious ones can themselves
purchase organs, and then harmony is
restored in the Indian settlements.
