any display Of a woman in public as immod-
est Again; horse in English harness
driven to a Russian drosky would be con-
sidere1 bad form. This is because the ar
tistic principle of unity in conception is
violated, which principle is again in
volyed in all the nice adjustments of parts
to a whole, which make it necessary for a
mans dress, or woman's, to accord
with the general character Of his or her
turnout.
The ultra-proper stuff for woman to
clothe herself in for the races is Melton
cloth or Bedford cord which, it goes with
out saying, should be strictly tailor-made.
The fact that separate club house has
been provided for wives and women who
jockey club will necessarily restrict the
public enjoyment of the races. which, at
least so far as the women of the 1000 are
concerned, will consist to very great ex-
tent in surveying what the women of the
400 wear.
This deprivation will tend to increase the
interest there will be in the passing show
which the 400 en- route to the races Will
make.
By long odds, the most striking feature
of this parade will be the public coach
which Mr.. Clarence Moore will tool from
the Shoreham to Benning every day of the
race season. Mr.. Moore is a most skillful
and enthusiastic whip and is determined
that Washington shall be aroused to an
interest in coaching such as is manifest in
Philadelphia and New York. The coach
which is the property of the Washington
COACHING Club, and was last year run to
Chevy Chase Inn. has lately been done
over, and will be drawn by what has been
technically described to me as ripping
lot Of horses. A close second to this at
traction will be Mr.. Bughers drag, and al
ways certain to attract attention Is the
Swedish vehicle in which Baron Grippe
will appear. Miss Warler will probably go
out In her tandem cart, and excite the
wonder of women and admiration of men,
which her skill in driving and the very
correct appointments Of her turnout usu-
ally arouse. Mr.. Richard Wallach and Mr..
George Bruce will also take their tandems
out, and If Mr.. Moore quits his place on
the box of the coach any day it will be to
drive his tandem, one Of the horses of
which is a prize winner in the high STEP
ping class Of the New York horse show.

Care of Cooking Utensils,

Tom Murray in Twentieth Century Cooking
The subject Of pure food has long been a
pet theme of legislators, and 1 admit that
the discussions on the subject have done a
great deal of good. believe, however. that
pure and wholesome utensils. in which to
cook the food are of more Importance than
the food itself. Only those who are IA
miliar with the affairs of large kitchens are
aware OF the eternal vigilance which pre-
vents the formation Of chemical poisons in
culinary utensils. Is there the same watch
fulness in the kitchens of cheap eating
houses? 1 trust the day is not far distant
when rigorous laws will be passed compel
ling boards of health to inspect the cooking
utensils of every establishment in which
food is served to the public.
My first inspection of the kitchen of the
restaurant at the national Capitol made me
sfudder One of the utensils which was In
daily use was so covered with verdIgris that
the original color of the metal could not he
seen. The utonsil was a steam-heated
oyster stew pan. The hands even of the
colored attendant were stained green from
contact with the pan. 1 questioned the
servant, and she told me that was the first
person to complain to her about the condi-
ton of the pan. She went on to saw that
she could not wash tho green stuff of
her hands,"

BICYCLIsT PLEADS FOR SKIRTS.

A Man Who Says His Legs Are Cold
In Stockings.
From Parsons Weekly
It is time that tho British public should
abandon it's absurd prejudice against the
wearing of skirts by the male cyclist Be-
cause it is unusual for a man to wear a
skirt In public, the British public has de-
cided that 1t Is improper, and the Brit
ish trough" INDUCES himself in hooting
the male wearer of rational dress" But
1t seems clear to me that II have a right
to ride bicycle, I have a right to ride
It in the dress best suited to the exigen-
cies of cycling.
Now, it is undeniable that knickerbock-
ers and stockings are not comfortable on
cold and wet days. The thickness of the
stocking does not make up for the alb
sence Of the accustomed trousers leg, and
the consequence is that the wearer Of
knickerbockers takes cold and falls i'll Of
pneumonia bronchitis or rheumatism. Then
stockir gs cannot possibly be kept dry,
and the cyelist must ride home, perhaps
in piercing wind, with wet legs.
On the other hand the wearer of a skirt
has his legs warmly clothed, and when
he Is caught in shower his skirt keeps
his legs perfectly dry. Moreover, the skirt
Is far safer than knickerbockers. The lat
ter expose the calves Of the legs as a tar
cyclists, and strange dogs with a passion
for tasting new legs. The man who wears
skirts Is exposed to none Of these dangers
and 1t Is nothing less than brutal to de-
mand that a man should subject his de-
fenseless legs to juvenile stones and hydro
phobic teeth, when by simply covering them
with skirt he could ride in safety
In opposition to this weight of argument
In favor of rational dress for men, what
can those who condemn 1t urge? They
tell US that 1t Is indecent for any man
to wear dress that conceals the shape
OF his legs, and that, the skirt Is a dis
tirctly feminine garment, and for that rea-
son must not be worn by men.
The truth happens 10 be that taking the
world all over, the great majority of men
wear petticoats of onersort or another, just
as the great majority of women wear
trousers. Granted that in England the skirt
has hitherto been worn nnIy by women.
that Is no reason why! men should not wear
IL now that the intro iuction of the bicycle
has made it necessary for all careful rid

A very jolly vehicle for taking large
parties to the races is a blackboard,

problem. The kite that 1 evolved has been
named the Eddy kite; about the only thing
it has in common with its prototype the
Malay kite, is the bullying crosspiece."
The advantages of the tailess kites over
the ordinary kind are that they will sail In
lighter breeze. will fly in tandems. and viii
rise to a much greater height. The Eddy
kite may be regarded the most perfect form
reached in kite construction. With the aid
Of the diagrams and the accompanying de-
sCripuon, any bright boy can make either

them source of continual amusement and

The superiority of the Eddy kite comes
from the lightness and its peculiar shape.
1t may be of any size. SO long as the pro-
portions are kept the same. For kite for
ordinary purposes sixty inches is fair

d is 90 inches in length, A c should be an
exactly similar piece OF the same length
and size, and when in position it Is bent
about 4 per cent of its length. 1t should
cross B d at E. so that B E shall be IS per
cent of B D. With these two pieces properly
In position it is easy to make the remainder
of the frame. Great care should be used
however, to have A exactly equal
to B c, and A d exactly equal to c d,
as otherwise the kite will be unsteady

He Unearthed $4,000, Lived Like .
Lord and Went to Jail.

He Unearthed $3O,0OO, Lived Like q
| Lord and Went to Jail.
From the New York SIN. 3
The tramp Harms, or Carl Hermann,
which appears to be his real name, who
found $50 900 in gold coin beside the rail-
road track near Sacramento. Cal, fifteen
months ago, and spent $4,000 of it in San
Francisco in about a year. as told in the
Sun. has been held in 5000 bail to stand
trial in the superior court at Sacramento
for grand larceny. Although Harms spent
his money in most lavish manner, giving
large amounts to friends and setting up
several men in business, none of his bene-
ficiaries came to his assistance to rescue
him, and Harms is now confined in a cell
in the state prison. He took his desertion
by his fair-weather friends philosophically,
merely remarking that 1t was the way Of
the world.
Harms it may be remembered, was
tramping over the railroad ties toward Sac
ramento in November, 1894, and camped
over night in piece of woods few miles
outside of Sacramento. That night train
was robbed and $4,000 in gold coin was
taken from the Wells-Fargo express car.
The robbers buried $4,000 of their plumber
near the track, ard the next morning
Harms found It, He reburied part of 1t
and carried the rest to Sacramento. Then
he went to San Francisco and lived high.
ing at one time prosperous merchant in
New York. and he knew how to get the
worth of his money. When after fifteen
months, detectives discovered him as the
finder of the train robbers plumber all but
5000 Of the money was gone.
Harms was brought up in court at Sac
ramento last week, charged under the law
which makes it a felony to appropriate
money known or believed to be stolen with
out making any attempt to find the owner.
notable feature Of his examination was
the bringing from state prison of one Of
the bandits who robbed the train, the only
one remaining alive. This was the we'll
known train robber, Jack Brady, who Is
now serving a sentence of Imprisonment
for life. Brady told how he and his &C.
complies robbed the train and then buried
the treasure, and how they returned later
but found it not, and he described their
feelings thereat. He told of finding q
tramps' camp near the place, which went
to connect Harms with the finding Of the
money.
But Harms admits frankly that he found
the money, ard when the Wells-Fargo de-
tectives arrested him he promptly turned
over all that remained Of it; at least he
said that the $1,000 he turned over was all
that he had left. This the detectives doubt
and 1t Is In an effort to recover more of
the morey that Harms is being prosecuted
rigidly They think he has stored away a
goodly sum somewhere Harms declares
he turned over every cent he hadn't spent,
and that he will leave the prison to resume
the life of a pauper, after, an interim of
fifteen months of wealth and luxury.
