HOW WOMEN MOUNT.

They Have Quite as Many Varieties of
style as the Men.
In the variety of styles of mounting
the b: >ycle the girls are fast equaling
the men. There was time when only
one style of mounting was in general
use. But as the riders become more
expert and gain more confidence they
are branching out in this particular.
The old style of mounting for women
by standing out in the street with the
pedal raised is not so easy in going up
hill. AS consequence, the curbstone
mount became popular. This is an easy
way of mounting the wheel, and can
be learned by anyone. 1t saves the
strain to a large extent on the frame
Of the wheel. A drop-frame wheel, by
the way, is not us rigid as the diamond
frame of mans bicycle.
Perhaps the most graceful mount of
any, and likewise the most difficult, is
the female pedal mount. The right
foot is placed on the right pedal, which
is raised to nearly it's highest point.
a slight shove is given the wheel, and
before the right pedal reaches its low
est point in its revolution the left foot
catches the left pedal just as it is COM
ing up. It's pretty, but difficult.

Some people do not appreciate the
distinction between good and bad de-
signing. When they buy or build
houses they try to equal or excel the
dwellings of their neighbors, and are
quito satisfied with the fashionable
crudities so often repeated. 1t is u
natural propensity in most of us to
strive to get as much as possible for our
money, and in house building, perhaps
more than in any other undertaking,
are found opportunities to judiciously
spend or waste money. To people of
taste it is somewhat fascinating to plan
and build little house on paper which

"Do you want to know how to polish
the lens of your lamp?" asked the re-
pair man. "If you do, here you are:
First clean the surface with a pad of
cotton waste and then cover the pad
with cotton velvet charged with fine
rouge. This will not only remove the
scratches, but will impart brilliancy to
the glass. Lenses in lanterns should not
only be clean and clear, but should be
brilliant as well, and brillancy comes
partly from polishing"

DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Riding Hands OF the Handle Bars
Should he DiscOuraged,

Riding Hands OF the Handle Bars
Should De Discouraged,
There are various reasons why the
reprehensible practice of riding with
hands off the handle bars should be gen.
orally abandoned. Chief among these
reasons, perhaps, is the fact that it is
dangerous not only to the rider him
self, but to others. To do the trick sue
cessfully it is necessary to travel at
speed which is not safe, at least on a
street which is liable to be crossed any
where by pedestrians or other riders,
and it is just such thoroughfares that
the senseless hands-off rider selects to
show himself off. With the hands off
the bars the rider has no control of the
wheel, and, particularly at crossings,
there is no telling at what instant it
is necessary to make a detour or slaclsen
speed. Just the fraction of time neces-
sary to regain control of the wheel
often is enough to cause an accident.
With no guiding power there is no tell
ing what the front wheel is going to
do. A small obstacle in the street which
would ordinarily be passed over without
notice is enough to defect the front
wheel and if there are any riders close,
send it crashing into their bicycles.
An old rider said: Handle bars are
made to hold on to, and whenever see
some crank-I call him by no other
nane-come sailing along trying to
show off l feel like taking thump
into him. He is liable to cause all sorts
of damage, and dose of the same sort
of medicine which he so often infiicts
on others will many times do him

A WAITING POLICY

Secretary Cages estimate of the
needs of the treasury for the next two
years exceeds the appropriations for the
past two by $32. .OO0. 900. while the deficit
in revenues for the fiscal year ending
January 30th next, assuming that Gus
toms receipts under the new law will by
that time equal ordinary expenditures,
is likely to approximate s100,000,0 900. That
a condition rather than theory prom
ises to confront the treasury is doubtless
fully appreciated by Mr.. Mckinley and
his financial secretary, and, whereas the
former talks low in his message about
the need for retrenchment in expendi-
lures and never once hints at the possible
failure of the Dingley law to produce ex
pected revenues after the first year, anx
iety upon his part Is not likely to de-
crease as the session progresses. And,
although no appeal is made in terms for
such amendment of the customs and in
ternal revenue laws as will tend to bring
receipts within sight of expenditures,
that would seem to be no less a neces-
sity to force itself upon the managers of
the party in the house, as time passes
and the gap is not closed by the natural
occurrence of events.

impression that the government at

form. would submit to a great deal,

Of the capitalists in the money centers

Britain to be so severely criticised with

In this country the danger from this

age when lofty contempt for the oppo-

which usually finds merciless retribution

baby was not as distressing as it might
have been. He had utilized the baby
carriage as a cradle and had found a
place where the floor sloped little. Be-
hind the vehicle he extended himself,
and with head on hand proceeded to read
a story paper. An occasional pull at a
string fastened to the rear axle impart-
ed the motion necessary to keep the
slumberer from waking. But the baby
soon had it's nap out, and began to cry.
The boy paid no attention to the noise,
and after awhile his sister came to in
vestigate.
"Why don't you try to find out what's
the matter with baby?" she asked.
"There's no use," he answered, rolling
lazily over and letting go of the string.

FOR A LIBRARY BUILDING

The celebration of the twenty fifth
anniversary of the founding of the Los
Angeles public library last evening was
a very pleasant occasion. The fact that
over so per cent of the founders of the
library are still alive added greatly to
the interest of the evening and was also
an eloquent tribute to the healthfulness
of our Southern California climate.
The founders builded better than they
knew when they started the public IL
brary, and they have reason to be proud
of the results of their public spirit,
thoughtfulness and labor in behalf of
twenty-five years ago to secure ade-
quate support for public library as it
is now, and it is hard enough at the
present time.
In considering the subject Of the pub
lie library in connection with last nights
celebration, there are two things that
come most prominently to mind-the ad
vance that has been made in our pub
nc SlllCe IL was Sldittu anu llle
present needs of the institution. 1t is
greatly to be desired that still greater
advance shall be made in the next
twenty-five years.
An adequate public library build
ing is undoubtedly the greatest pres
ent need. The Herald has frequent
ly urged that some of our local
capitalists should come to the res
cue with a proposition to furnish
the whole or part of the capital neces-
sary to build and equip a library build
ing. The Times yesterday morning said
A public spirited citizen of Los An
geles authorizes the announcement that
he will head a list of one hundred
names with a subscription of $1,000 for
| the erection of a new public library
building in this city; that is to say, he
will be one of one hundred men who
shall each give the sum of $1,000 to that
noble object. There are certainly nine
ty-nine other equally public spirited cit
liens in this city who are as ready to
join in such a work. Can we not hear
| from them?
| One hundred thousand dollars would
do very well, while the individual sac
rifce under the plan proposed would be
comparatively small. There are GER
tainly one hundred persons in Los An
geles who can well afford to give $1,000

silenced all opposition on the score of
economy. The Herald has conclusively
shown that the refunding proposition, il
carried, will entail loss to the tax
payers of two hundred and fifteen

dollars. 1t has shown that this large
amount would have to be paid out in

THE HEAVENS IN DECEMBER
A Full Moon Tonight and New Moon
on the 23d

The sun enters the sign Capricornus
on the 21st of December and the astrO-
nomical winter begins. The sun, as the
word solar implies, seems to stand still
for few days. and then turns his face
to bless the northern nations with in
creasing light and heat.
The moon fulls on the Sth, and some
few hours later Is in conjunction with
Neptune. The phase of the last quarter
occurs on the 10th, and two days later
there Is conjunction with Jupiter. On
the 21st Uranus and Saturn are in con-
junction, followed the next day by
Venus and Mars. The last new moon
for the year comes on the 23d, and the
succeeding day the conjunctions for the
year between moon and planets are
closed by Mercury being occulted by
Luna. The quartering Of the moon
takes place on the 30th, leaving the moon
eight days old when the New Year
makes its appearance. The full moon
in December Is so far up in northern
declination that it will hardly seem as
near to US or as friendly as the beauti-
full harvest moon did in August.
Venus is making her adieus to her
public nowadays. and she fails to cut
much of figure as the year draws to a
close, but we shall have her shining most
radiantly in the western shy shortly
after the new year makes its appear
ance. The fair queen deigns to smile
upon her subjects as she passes them,
being in conjunction on the 8th with
Uranus, on the 18th with Saturn and on
the 3Oth with Mars. All of these meet
ings are quite close, the last being the
closest. On the 22d there is conjunc-
tion between the moon and Venus. but as
the new moon comes In the following day
we can readily imagine how faint will
be the disk.
Saturn is a morning star and Is grad
ually getting brighter and more distinct
as he moves away from the sun.
Jupiter reaches the quarter post In
his journey on the 30th. being that day
in quadrature with the sun. He now
reigns almost supreme III the morning
sky, as Venus is drawing too close to the
sun to be very much of rival His size
and brilliancy are also on the increase,
and the early risers have a fine treat
prepared for them some hours before
sun-up. In one respect Jupiter seems
like minor sun, as he Is royalty attend
