Average BicycIe Rides.
From Harner,s Round Table

From Harper's Round Table
An average afternoon ride for business
man who does not train regularly is twen-
" miles, without much of stop anywhere
from the first to the twentieth mile. An
average ride for a woman who probably
never has taken much exercise, is ten
miles, with several dismounts, to walk up
most hills, and get the variation on the
muscles furnished by a little walk An
average ride for a young man in school or
college, who has been in pretty good con-
ton for some time, If not absolutely in
training, is from forty to fifty miles in an
afternoon, without much stop. An aver
age ride for girl of healthy outdoor
life and training-for there is always a
certain amount of physical train
ing in outdoor life-is twenty miles in a
day with several stops. Here are four
grades, so to speak, which merely give us
a basis to work on. Now as to the time
occupied. In the first the mans twenty
mile ride, ii would be safe to say two
hours should be occupied in doing the ride.
In the second, or woman's ten-mfle ride,
about an hour and half altogether would
be required. That is to say, she will wheel
at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour
to occupy a good fifteen minutes in walk
ing. The third case, that of the young
man in training doing fifty miles, ought
to occupy under four hours, or at any
rate, not much more than four hours.

A LOST ART.
The Ability to Sew Is Becoming One
of the Things of the Past.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
There is a real danger that fine sewing
will become one of the lost arts, and that
it will be with women as with men, only
those whose sole profession 1t is can
handily hold a needle. AS women grow
more and more like men in their attach
ments and professions, this may be a
necessity of the change. Ready-made
clothing, and even mendhg and darnins,
done in the shops, help all this along,
as well as the multifarious other duties
which press upon a little girls atten-
ton, which absorb her later years, and
which leave her, as a woman, scant time
and little knowledge to take a stitch"
for herself or for others.
She, in turn, is not competent to in
struct her children, and so the evil ex-
one sees comparatively few women any
more who can do the exquitie sewing
which was common before the days of
the machine. Yet there are certain things,
which cannot be well done by machine,
and which cost enormously if one goes
to the city headquarters for them. She
who is a perfect mistress of telling ana
hemming, tucking and gathering, should
be able to turn her talent to account.
Not only may she establish a sewing
class for girls and impart to them knowl-
edge which she posses SeS, but she may al
so make a speciality of dolls wardrobes,
of babies layettes, Of childrens cloth
ing, and of bridal outfits. There is in a
southern city a woman whose whole
good income is derived from the infants
fine wardrobes which she prepares. There
is no reason why her example should not
be followed elsewhere.
In this case, as in all others of anna
teur work. the general rule should be

the succeeding centuries and in the mid
die ages, and at times formed an impor-
tant article of diet, but at times only, as
domesticated cattle were then attainable
in large numbers, and the horse has as
sumed greater value for war, for the chase
and for other sports
Following the middle ages, for the same
reason, the use of horsefesh for food was
more limited, and was only practiced in re-
stricted localities and in times of war or
famine About the middle of the present
century its use was made the subject OF
governmental investigation and control, as
a matter of health. following the laws
which had been but recently formulated
regulating the inspection and supervision
of the sale of beef.
In 1866 laws were passed by the French
government ordering that horses should
only be killed in special slaughter-houses
that they should only be killed In the pres
ence of a veterinarian or authorized i'm
spector, who should verify the healthy
condition of all of the viscera; that the
meat should only be sold after being Of
ficially stamped, and that the meat should
only be sold as horse meat in shops which
bore over the door sign in large letters
to that effect; the peddling of horsedesh
was forbidden.

any one to find support in the Mosaic laws

the ground that the horse is not cloven-

We find from the writing of Herodotus
and Leo Africanus that the wild horse was
hunted in the chase, and considered a great
delicacy by the Arabs and nomadic tribes
of Asia and North Africa. In the account
of the expedition of the Car Peter
against Azof. the wild horse, under the
name of ''tarpan," roved in numbers be-
tween latitude 80 and 50 degrees and was
hunted and used for food by the Tartars,
Mongolians and Mancburians.
In the eighth century Pope Gregory III
and his successor, Zacharias j, sent let
ters to St. Boniface, the German apostle,
forbidding the use of horsefiesh as being
allied to ancient religious practices, and
therefore an obstacle 10 the propagation
of Christianity. Notwithstanding the papal
edicfs we find that horsehesh Yves extern
