BICYCLE BORROWING.
Neither Borrow Nor Lend Is the Rule
for All.

for All.
The ethics of bicycle borrowing are
beginning to agitate wheeling circles
now that what is termed the legitimate
riding season is at hand. Are cyclists
expected to allow other people to ride
their bicycles? This is the great ques-
ton. In discussing it genial and well
known wheelman, who has suffered per-
haps as much as anyone from the bor-
rowing habit, as practiced by other
cyclists, said:
From the frequency with which re-
guests for the loan of your wheel are
made by some people one might be
pardoned for thinking that the sole
mission in this world of the owner of a
bicycle was to lend it 10 all his friends
and acquaintanceS. Now, as a matter of
fact, no one has the least excuse for
making such a request of the owner of u
bicycle, and owners should firmly and
emphatically refuse to comply with
them when made. If a man or a wom-
an cannot afford to pay for the amuse-
ment of cycling they ought to forego it.
do not mean by this that if an unusual
ly trusttul and good-natured friend Of
fers to lend a bicycle one is morally
bound to refuse it, but do mean that
no one ought TO be surprised or offended
ii request for the loan of a wheel is re
fused.
"A bicycle is not a cheap, easily re-
placed article, such as a baseball bat or
pair of skates. Against the borrowing
of such things there is no law, but your
wheel is different matter. No one, not
even the most expert rider, can guaran-
tee it against mishap, even if the acci-
dent be only the puncture of tire.
Too often, however, the pitfalls which
beset the most wary rider are far more
serious. The dangers of crowded
streets, where it seems the chropic bor-
rover of bicycles most doth like to ride,
there is no need to enlarge upon. They
| are so common that the spectacle of a
| wheel being eXtricated from beneath a
beer wagon, street car or a cab, no
longer attracts a crowd even on Broad
way. But even in less frequented roads
cyclist cannot always avoid danger.
| nor insure immunity for the machine he
is riding. Accidents, however, undesir-
able as they are, are of comparatively
small moment so long as the damaged
wheel is your own, but if it is the prop
erty of some one else the case assumes
different complexion. Few people en-
Joy the process of confessing that the
borrowed machine has come to grief
while in their hands, and [ suspect that
few even of the most good-natured of
friends are not moved to regret their
unseIfishness when the mangled re-
mains of their machine are brought
home.
Never lend your wheel, and sit down
most aggressiyeIy on all who make a
request for a loan of it. These
chronic bicycle borrowers should be
! taught lessons."-N. Y. Sun.

BRIDES CHOSEN IN THE DARK.
An Indian scheme for Mating the
Braves with Wealthy Maids.

An old custom was revived by the
Nez rerce Indians and their visitors
during the celebration on the last
Fourth of July. The natives of the local
tribe are very wealthy, and there are
designing mothers among the aborigi-
nes as we'll as in the different classes of
civilized society. The young bucks of
the NeZ Perce tribe are regarded some
what like the scions of royalty in mat
rimonial circles. The naidens from all
visiting tribes were brought to Lapwai
TO find husbands. The customs of the
tribes. which were revived for the occa-
sion, were more effective than the Bos-
ton mans way.
The young men marched forth, and
none but candidates for matrimony
joined the march. They were dressed
in their brightest coIors, and each car
ried a white willow cane. AS they ap-
preached the tents they chanted an In
dian chorus that was as doleful as the
song of the owl, and kept time by beat
ing upon the tents with their canes.
The drumming was deafening to the
uIoC"HC oPoIrdtol' anu HiuSt nave DeeH
distracting to the waiting maidens in
the tents.
At last the singing and drumming
had the desired effect. The maidens
came forth after n delay just long
enough to satisfy that universal pas.
sion of the mind of a woman to drive
lover mad with doubt. There were
more men than maidens. The former
kept up the march and the music with.
out. The maidens countermarched on
the line of the same circle, each select.
ing a husband from the line. The
chosen ones FASTENED to follow their
brides away into the darkness. The un.
fortunate suitors were left TO despair.

FASHION NOTES,
Seasonnble Fancies in Ladies' Cos.
tunes.

One of the most elegant mourning
costumes of the season IS made of
Priestley silk warp Henrietta cloth.
Inc skirt, waist and sleeves are plain
and eXquisitely fitted. Three grape
ruffles, with headings, are set on at the
foot of the skirt; the waist has an ap-
piled vest of the Grape, with a yoke
the back. Over the shoulders are deep
rutfies of the Grape graduated to run
into the darts on either side of the vest.
high collar with grape ruche and
rape rutfies at the wrists complete the
trimming. The bonnet IS made of puffs
of Grape, with crimped fans at either
side. These fans are spread and wired
up in wing fashion.
a novelty waist is of old rose and
green and gray brocade. The body is a
modified bolero, pointed over corse-
let on either side and at the back. The
front is gathered whore it is drawn
across the bust. There are enormously
wide revers, with sharp points. These
extend out over the sleeve tops and also
over the fronts of the sleeves lust above
the bust; the sleeves are sh3red in full
puffs at the tops and have fancy cuffs
of the material, with galloon and loops
of ribbon
An exceedingly stylish costume is
made of green velvet. The skirt is
plain, with the exception of a large box
plait at one side of the front The waist
has flat plaits from the collar and shoul-
der seams to ii wide corSelet. There are
three tiounces on either sleeve between
the shoulders and elbows; the sleeve
fiounces, plaits and cuffs are ldged with
gold gimp.
There is nothing in the way of use
full dresses that the average woman
finds more profitable than a good
cheviot or serge. Made in tailor fash
ion, skirt and jacket of this fabric
will wear long enough to satisfy the
,nost eXacting woman in the world
But to get the very best wear it must
be of the very best quality and made in
the very best manner.
A round hat has puff of velvet en-
tirely covering the low crown. Above
this is tluting of chiffon stiffened with
foundation or wire. This projects in a
circle about half as large as the brim of
the hat. A cluster of quill feathers
stands up at one side. Under the brim
is a plating of chsfon.
A pretty and becoming hat has the
brim almost entirely concealed by putfs
and loops of gauze ribbon. Only por-
tion of the crown is visible. At one
side are clusters of quilts and loops
of ribbon.-N. Y. Ledger.
