Cycling Dress.

Daisy Dean asks what Is the most
appropriate cycling dress, and OF what
should 1t be made. Answer: The most
sensible and becoming cycling costume
is moderately short skirt, shirt waist,
blazer or Jacket and well-ftting high
shoes, or, II low shoes are worn, a pair
of trim overgaiters. A corset waist
should be worn, as, Of course, the reg
ular corset is not approved by any good
authority. One sensible wheelwoman

Daring Feat OF Wealthy aud Aristo-

Among the latest sensations In sem
satlon-loving Paris Is the daring balloon
trip recently made by Nine. Du Cast, an
aristocratic member OF the grande
monde worth millions In her own right.
Madam has long been liberal contrib
utor to charitable funds of various
kinds. Therefore IL Is not cause for
surprise that the aerial journey referred
to had for its principal object the benefit
of Partisan poor. The famous Capazza
parachute was some time ago given its
first trial in Paris and was found to
work admirably. Then another ascen-
sion was made with IL in Brussels, with
equally satisfactory results. Nine. Du
Cast read of these events and was
struck with the idea that If she were TO
make an ascension with the aeronaut in
the French capital the public might be
induced 10 pay well for the privilege OF
seeing her start on the perilous jour
ney. Signor CapazZa, of course, jumped
at the suggestion, and at the same time
assuring madam that there was abso-
lutely no danger. Accordingly. public
announcement was made that on a GER
tain day Nine. Du Cast. the society
leader, would accompany the aeronaut
on one of his trips. the entire gate re-

tons Of the French colony. At the
hour appointed at least 10000 people
had assembled. Madam took her place

leased from its moorlngs. shot up amid
the frantic plaudits of delighted thou
sands. A height of 1000 feet was
reached. Then the aeronaut allowed
the gas TO escape. The parachute
opened at the same time, and the voyag-
ers slowly descended. experiencing

BUNKER HILL MONUMENT DESIGN
designs and alleged portrait busts of
the presidential candidates were ex-
ceedingly popular and even now they
are occasionally met with at country
sales or in secondhand china shops.
To meet the increasing demand for
such wares the range of decorative sub
1ects was extended to include historical
monuments. noted steamships and pub
lie buildings. The majority Of these
designs came, doubtless, from England.
but it is probable, judging from the in
innate knowledge of political and his
torical events which they indicate. that
some Of them originated in this coun-
try. Yet II is not an easy matter posi-
lively to assign any of them to par
ucular factory, since they seem TO bear
no marks by which they can be iden-
titled. / know that certain forms Of

were produced at the same place.
The first successful glass works of
any consequence in the United States
were established at Mannheim, Lancas-
ter county, Pa, by Baron Henry Will
liam Stiegel, about the year III, and
several excellent examples Of his work,
consisting of richly colored bowls and
goblets, possessing the clear, resonant
ring of the finest glassware Of Bohemia,
are now owned by well-known COL
lector of that town.
Baron Suegel came from Mannheim,
Germany. in 1850. and twelve years
later he laid out the Pennsylvania VIII
liage which bears the same name. He
was also prominent ironmaster, and
quaint little stoves OF his manufacture
are still in existence. In 1872, at the
height OF his prosperity, he decided a
plot Of ground to the Lutheran con-
gregation, in consideration of the an
nual payment thereafter of one red
rose. 1t was demanded but twice dur
ing the Baron's lifetime, but recently
the custom has been revived by some OF
his descendants. The celebration OF
the Feast of Roses in the month OF
June is an event Of great interest which
attracts widespread attention and
draws crowds of people from the sur
rounding country and neighboring
towns. In his palmiest days the Baron

1t is very likely that within a short
time the postoffice department will ex-
tend the free delivery system in this
city to the house-to-house collection
plan, as at present being worked in
several of the cities of the United
States. The government recently made
some tests of devices submitted by
various parties, with the result that
everyone was delighted. This plan is
for every owner or occupant of a house
70 nave box on the door, or at the
side. where the carrier deposits the
mail for the family and which, by an
automatic signal informs him when
there is anything inside to be taken
to the office. By this plan the resi-
dent can mail anything ordinarily
collected by carrier. OF course, pack
ages of mercha 1dise are not included
in this scheme.
1t will be seen that with this plan in
operation the resident is his own post
master, so to speak. He has a letter
which he wishes to mail and drops it
in his own box When the carrier
makes his call he at once sees the
notice per signal that letter is wait
ing, opens the receptacle with his key,
and all is well.
Up to date this system is working
only in the cities of Atlanta, Allie
cheney. Boston. Buffalo, Washing ton,
D. c.; Cleveland. Detroit. East Orange,
N. j.; indianapolis. Poliet, Minneapolis,
New Orleans, Wheeling. Portland, Me-;
Richmond, Va: ST. Adams, VT; ST.
Louis, st. Paul. San Francisco, Spring
field, Ill; Springfield, Mass; Syracuse,
Tacoma and Vicksburg.
In all cases the boxes must be sup
piled by the householder and erected
at his expense. Postmasters in these
cities are requested to give information
concerning them and encourage their
use. No boxes will be guaranteed;
that is, the department will not as
sumo the responsibility of collecting
mail from any save those which have
been recommended by the postoffice
department.
A new classification of mail matter
has been adopted by the department
and for the benefit of those interested
in such matters the following extracts
