on the roads, wheeling is too much of a free variety show, and even the wom- en who are wearing plain tan and gray and black, are going to feel themselves a part of a continuous performance out fit and take to bicycle dresses as long as English womens'.
 "I'll make a bet with you, Mrs. Up to-Date," wound up Miss Lives-onr the Wheel, energetically; next spring we will all be riding in skirts as long as walking dresses and struggling to look pleasant and think we like it. If our 'Arrys' and .Anriets' will make barber poles of their legs, there is for the rest of us another way"
 Long or short, Miss Lives-on- the Wheels bicycle outfit is always the neatest on the road" said Mrs. Up-to- Date in a eoneiliatory manner. ''She was wearing a rough gray and black mixture recently, waTqnlooking and just the thing for cold weather. The skirt and coat both were braided with black very effectively. Under the coat she wore a scarlet silk vest or blouse; that was the only touch of bright color about her. She had a little black cap and black shoes and stockings"
 Ut seems to me" said the small per- son in brown, who had started the con versation, that nobody nowadays talks anything but bicycle. Mrs. Bore-em, who is reading tine paper, has a dress that looks quite novel;
 "Yes," said Mrs. Up-to-Date, ''Mrs. Bore-em always brings out a costume when she is brought out on the pro gramme. The one she is wearing to- day is of old rose cashmere. Did you notice the length of the skirt? It has decided dip in the back; all the dressier models are coming that way.
 "But the newest thing about that dress is the way the slirt is cut down at the top in front and bodice is cut up, to correspond. There is a plaited front of pale green taffeta that shows below the belt and little way above it and looks as if it had slipped down from where 1t belongs, unless you hap pen to know that it is quite the thing at present to have decollete skirts and gimp or bertha hip pieces. It's not such a bad freak, but not one to last long. Skirt and bodice have white ap- plique trimmings. and there are full plaitings about the hem"
 Mrs. Haunt-the-shops, have you seen the new brocades? ?"
 "Yes. they are capital. quite the best materials brought out this fall Mrs. Haunt-the-Shops bent forward in her chair The moire velvet is lovels,

of fine figure; "she has no more voice than poor Mrs Bore-em, but that black and white small-checked tweed was cleverly managed; did you notice? The blouse has revers, belt, collar and cuffs, all of black velvet, with a piping of turquoise velvet. The bodice pouches only little; the worst of a good many Russian blouses is, they are positively baggy. There is pretty vest and crayat of blue chiffon. didn't notice the skirt very particularly; think it has a band of black moire, pped with turquoise"
 There was a handsome Russian blouse in a theater box opposite me last evening"" the small person in brown contributed to the discussion. Ut was made of green and cerise striped silk with revers and fnishings of black satin. The skirt was nothing but a yoke of the stripes with three wide 1ounces of black set on below; two fioupees were satin, the middle one vel vet"
 T like the Russian coats better than the dress blouses," said tall blond with heavy pale yellow hair. My sis ter-in-law has one in hunters green. It has revers of cream-colored satin covered with jet embroidery and jet or naments around the armholes, simuIat- ing 8 bolero. The fronts, the basque and the collar arc edged with chin chilla. It is made with box plaits in the back over a draped belt of velvet"
 "Fhe coats are good,'' said Mrs. Up to-Date, but did you notice the cape the president had on this afternoon? It was black velvet, cut pointed in front; early Victorian, you know. It had high collar, boa and four rows of skunk for trimming.
 See here, Miss Mum, you haven't said a word this hour"

with an ever lurking danger under hatches. The wheat may "heat," es- pecially if it is all damp when loaded, and slowly smoldering set the ship on fire by spontaneous combustion. Only one form of cargo is more dangerous, and that is cotton. Transatlantic steamships that bid for heavy passen- ger traffic are obliged to carry no cot ton if they wish to command high prices for cabins. There are no such restrictions as to wheat; but the cap tain of every steamer carrying it is ready, day or night at a moments mo- tice, to flood any one of his compart- ments to save the rest of the ship.
 These are some of the dangers run by the queer little dark men of the far east, and the big blond Scandina- vians, and all the rest of the congress of nations who gather at the loading of the motley tramp fleet that is saving Europe from the grip of hunger.

A HELPLESS NATION.

The American People Have Lost the
 Faculty of Meeting Emergencies.
 The people of the United States are vastly more helpless than they were quarter of a century ago. If a fire, for instance, broke out in city or town, in the early history of the coun- try, every citizen hastened to do what he could personally to extinguish the flames. Now, even in small communi- ties, the citizen stands aside as spec tator while the employed men are en- gagged in efforts to put out the fire.
 The same rule applies in all other cases. There seems to be no such thing any more as all around helpfulness Twenty-Five years ago the perpetrator of criminal act committed in public, would have been seized by those who witnessed the deed. Now, usually the vioator of the law escapes unless off, cials are present to seize him.
 The helpless condition into which we have grown was quite well illustrated recently when street car was almost

enough to go down on ones knees to it. Some of it is striped with pink or blue tinsel on white ground. But the pret- tiest piece of goods have seen is one of the new brocatelles, thick and soft and with a raised seaweed design on white in pale green"
 ''There is woman inside, to the right of the presidents chair, who is wear ing a beautiful brocade, handsome enough for reception gown" said the small person in brown. "It Is a silver gray satin, figured in the same color. The skirt is demi-train and has a wide panel of cream guipure on each side of the front. The back of the skirt is trimmed with narrow ruffles and the front with guipure ruffles above gauge. The guipure skirt panels run up on the bodice and make fronts, opening on vest of white mousseline. There is q straight collar ruched with mousseline and fastened by lace jabot. That's all, I guess, except a violet velvet toque with black feathers"
 Tell me, Mrs. Up-to-Date, what do you think of the Russian blouse?"
 T think" said Mrs. Up-to-Date, that as in the case of everything that everybody wears, 1t is necessary to have originality in details. The pret- tiest blouses have seen are those be- longing to smooth cloth dresses, where the cloth is worked in open work em- broidery; but good work of that kind is very dear. You can trim with lace and fur. I have seen one costume of that sort in a very pale gray cloth verging on mauye; it was most elaborately embroidered and trimmed with guipure and sable.'

fun, he is always anxious to have Freed man with him, sure. So he took Freed man along this time.
 Not far from St. Augustine there is a place where sharks may often be seen lying motionless in the space be- tween the shore and the bar. The water is almost always as clear as glass, and the huge fish are plainly visible.
 The first time Croker saw the sharks at this point he told Freedman he was going to find out whether they would eat man if they got chance. Next day he and Freedman went out there again, taking with them two good-sized chunks of raw beef, one of which they put on big shark hook, intending the meat asa bait, and to haul in the first un- lucky fish that should venture on a nib bic. But owing to the powerful though smooth and quiet ocean swell it was impossible to throw the bait out far enough to attract the attention of the sharks. This was tried and tried again, but to no purpose; every time the baited hook was cast it was brought back by the irresistible force of the long swells. Finally Croker got tired. and, seizing a piece of beef in his hands, he ran out as far as he could then gave a dive, and with half a dozen impetuous strokes swan out to the group of al- legged man-eaters and dropped his bur- den before them.
 Freedman was dumfounded and shouted to his friend to come back at once; but almost before he could get the words out of his mouth CrolSer was again standing on shore, dripping and breathless, having got away from the sharks with all possible speed.
 But the sharks hurried away as fast as my friend Dick did" Freedman al- ways says, in winding up the story. from which I conclude that they were worse frightened than he; in fact. he didn't seem frightened at all"
 Croker thinks the incident proves that sharks are afraid of man. There are probably few, however. who would believe the evidence conclusive But no one will disagree with Freedman. who declares that Crolxer is a man ab- solutely without physical fear.

New York.-A group of women were sitting in the ladies' smoling-room of a big hotel. They were not smoking, but had fled for refuge from a paper on Ancient Art as Practiced by the Inhabitants of the Moon." This paper was being read in an adjoining room at the monthly "sociaP' meeting of wom- ans club to which they belonged.
 "It is very instructive" said a small person in brown, ''but am tired. Mrs. Up-to-Date, what is the newest thing in clothes?"
 ''The freshest fact have" said Mrs. Up-to-Date, lis that Miss Lives-on-the- Wheel has let her skirts down. I saw her in the park this morning"
 Miss Lives-on-the-Wheel looked guilty but defiant. "Yes, l know" she said, "I vowed I would never ride in dress that came below the knees, but didn' | count on these new tartan stockings. The minute I saw them I planned A cycle skirt to come to the ankles"
 "It's too bad" she went on, while the other women tried to look sym pathetic; s'I rode in boomers in the be- ginning; they are so safe and so com fortable, and for little time they were really recognized as the fit and proper costume for cycling. But when every body began to ride, boomers were used in such a way that they got a black eye. It nearly broke my heart, but put on skirts. with most other women. I had them short and they we're not such gneat handicap in riding, es- pecially when women began to have the sense, as I thought it, to leave off leg gins and stiff high boots and to ride, with free ankle action, in stockings.
 But stockings are the death of short skirt riding. When you see bright scar let and blue and green plaid legs out

he is older than be looks or looks older than he is. His speech. like bis greet ing. is that of the western man
 Tesla is tall, angular, and nelvons. His face. though that of a decidedly younger man than Edison, has a thou sand more lines and sea1ns and he never makes a joke in the American sense of the word. Of wit of the French or South-of-Europe sort there is plenty in what he has to say. but genuine American humor is as scarce with him as provisions in the Ktondike in mid- winter.
 They say that Richard Croker. tho gentleman who is just now running the Tammany campaign for the mayoralty of the Greater New YorH. is absolutely devoid of physical fear; and they are telling this tale to prove 1t.
 Some years ago one of the New York papers printed am article stating that all the stories of sharks eating or even biting human beings were sheer fakes. According to the writer. sharks are ac- tually afraid of men, and would swim away in consternation if one were sud- denly to appear before them. It was wonderful how quickly this article brought replies, and how long the read- CTS of the paper continued to discuss the question through its columns. Of course, nobody settled the matter As Mir. CroSer, who for some occult req son became intensely interested, de- clared at the time it could be settled only by putting live man in front of shark and watching the result He further said that some day be would find out for himself.
 One winter or two later, Crolxer de- cided to spend a few weeks in Florida. He took Andy Freedman along with him-the same Andy Freedman who has been so we'll known of late through his connection with baseball. It may be remarked in passing that Croller and Freedman are close friends in everything but politics. Croker never wants Freedman about when polite is in hand, but when the big boss want

 "On the outside. of course" replied the adjutant.
 That is an old joke, MT. Quarter master. Can't you give us something new?"

 Well, we'll" said the adjutant, pat ronizingly, T thought you were trying to be funny. Where should he carry it ?''

stopped for several minutes on one of the Chicago lines by a miserable dump cart that kept on the track ahead of the ear, moving slowly along, evidently for the purpose of delaying it.

Finally a man who had inherited some what of the helpfulness of the days of his father, asked for assistance to Ego out and turn the follows cart over."
 There are probably no more helpless people in the world than we are. If a hundred resolute armed men should attack any one of the great apartment buildings in our cities they would be able, ordinarily, to loot it from top to bottom without resistance from its in- mates.
 Take the Monadnoek building in Chi cago for illustration. Where would its 1,500 occupants look for protection if it was attacked by desperadoes like those who capture trains on our rail roads and banks in our smaller cities? It is hardly probable that they would attempt to protect themselves. If they did it is questionable whether one in a hundred among them would be able to produce weapon more dangerous than a pocket knife or paper cutter. The police with their clubs would be power less. Possibly a crowd of people would come and look on, but nothing would be done until one of the national guard regiments could be assembled and l,,~ot,crI,4 fO 41,o
 There seems to be no remedy for all this, unless possibly it may be found in arming the police and keeping DOT ton of the state troops constantly on duty. London and Paris have both troops and police on duty within their limits and a reserve of each is constant ly held at the barracks and stations, to meet any emergencies that may pos sibly arise. New York and Chicago will eventually reach a condition in size and character of population that will com pei the employment of the same means. Military Gazette.
