THE BICYCLE HAND.

A new discovery has been made which
will interest the fair sex, rs it is devoted
to bicycling. A French scientist claims
that ladies' hands deteriorate, both in
the color of the skin and in their shape
under the influence of bicycling. The
change in the hand is so typical that
physicians have observed it and desig'
mated the affection by the name OF
the bicycle hand" Its appearance is
decidedly homely. The particular char
acteristics of the bicycle hand" are;
The curvature of the hand becomes fiat

width TO the sides. becomes clumsy, un'
steady and shapeless. and the fingers
have tendency to curve inward. The
cause of this change is the consequence
of the strong clasp on the handle bars
Ladies who value the fine lines and the
softness of their hands will, therefore
have to look out.
