The Trotting Sire of the Year.

From the Trotter and PAGER.
The great race horse Allerton, 209H.
leads all sires of new standard performers
for the year, and it Is likely that he will
continue to hold that position to the end
of the season. Last season Allerton was
the leading sire. and IL he again finishes in
that position this season he will be the
only horse to have the honor of leading for
two years in succession. Allerton's list of
new performers now contains ten names,

He Peels tho Potntoos.

There are probably 100 schools for
cooking in Germany and Austria, the
best of which are at Vienna, Berlin
and Leipsic. A man who wishes to
become chef must begin at the very
bottom of the ladder-at peeling pos,-
toes-and work up, round by round, to
the top, says the New York World. A
course of schooling as strict as that
of any polytechnic school in this coun-
try must be followed for four years be-
fore the student can get a diploma.
Every year competitive exhibitions are
given in which as many as 200 chefs
take part. The chef who was employed
at the white house by Grover Cleve-
land, and who, 1t Is rumored, may be
again, has gold medal which was pre-
sented to him by the Empress Freder-
lex for excellence in cooking, a silver
medal given by the king of Saxony. a
diploma from the queen of Austria and
numerous other marks of appreciation
and honor won in competitive contests
in cooking. 1t is not to be wondered
at that European cooks command ex-
traordinary salaries in this country.

Just under the handle bars. and, II de-

to be derived from cycling has always
been urged as an advantage. But ex-
cessive cycling, by both sexes. has
proven to be extremely harmful to
health and consequently to beauty and
shape. These last are matters which
the fair sex have found to be Of great
Importance. The exercise alone is con-
sidered good for the rheumatic and

fact moderation is the one thing that
is positively essential to avoid the
