WOMAN AND TIE WHEEL.

The WOman's Rescue league, OF
Washington, by it's late denunciation OF
woman on the wheel, has raised a con-
siderable breeze. The chances are that
the said league is made up largely of
grannies in trousers. These bass
voiced defenders of virtue resolved that
the bicycle is promoter of immortality,
a breaker of feminine health and bar
to maternity. For an all around yawp
of moral idiocy the WOman'S Rescue
League of Washington takes the cake,
as Washington itself does for the kind
of immortality embraced in the work
of the league. There is nothing in the
riding of a wheel to interfere with
motherhood or with grandmOtherhoOd
Second childhood is what seems TO be
the matter with that league. OF course
limbs are exposed by wheel riding, but
neither the show, or the inumaion or
suggestiveness of the health-giying and
fascinating exercise, are going TO deter
women from riding. The world knew
that women had legs long before the
invention Of the bicycle. The indica-
ton is that the wheel is providential
to save the women of our later civlliza-
ton from such physical degeneration
as would render motherhood the ex-
ceptiOn rather than the rule. Some
body ought to rescue the women Of that
Washington league if it is not too late,
not TO save them to motherhood, for
they are evidently too far gone for
any such hope, but rescue them from
the dangers of the idiot asylum.
Prudes and fanatics are the curse of

a FRENCH LOTTERY.

The projectors of the Paris exposition
Of 1900 will undertake to provide the
funds for that great enterprise by a de-
vice which is Characteristic of French
ingenuity. The plan is described as
typically Partisan. Bonds of the de
nomination of twenty francs each, TO
the amount Of 65,0O00O0 francs (S13,-
100000 are TO be issued in a few
weeks, and there is every assurance
that the entire sum Will be taken. The
bonds do not bear interest nor viii the
principal ever be paid. In fact, the
scheme of finance is a lottery, pure
and simple, in which, in addition TO re-
ceiving twenty tickets of admission TO
the exposition, every holder OF a bond
will have chance at prizes which are
To be awarded in q series of twenty
nine lottery drawings The plan of
the Paris exposition managers is based
upon an advance sale OF 5000. 900
tickets of admission, which would
probably exceed the number of French
visitors To the exposition But, as at
tracrive as the show viii doubtless be.
the average Frenchman would hardly
be disposed 10 buy his admission tickets
four years before the gales We're
thrown open to the public unless he
was offered other Inducements OF a
more substantial nature than an appeal
to his patriotism. The suggestion OF
cash prizes ranging from 10000 francs
to 100 francs has been sufficient 10
arouse the Necessary enthusiasm. and
