Making n Bicycle Suit.

You will smile at your own foolish

bicycle dress out Of few yards of old
goods you have in the house. A sad
die skirt, which is the kind everybody
makes nowadays, takes six yards of
goods, little over a yard wide, and
twelve yards of twenty-seven-inch
goods. The material cuts to waste and
must be patched, and you will find
yourself in queer boat with your pat
tern and your goods.

Men Have Their vanltlos.

why do men talk so glibly Of the
vanity of women?" asked a Michigan
avenue dame the other day. do they
fancy that they are superior to such
weaknesses as distinguish their frall
sisters-fondness for dress, for jewels,
for displays generally? II that is their
idea they have but a poor knowledge
of their own sex--of themselves, In
fact, for no man is without his vanities
and they are just as conspicuous as are
those of women. A man never seems
to have grown too old or too ugly to
arrogate to himself admiration that a
woman in her palmlest days would
hardly dare claim, That crease in his
trousers weighs so heavily upon his
mind. He is never, I can see, perfect

The natives Of Gazaland, country
in eastern Africa which is under the
rule of Portugal, are in revolt. They
are a warlike race, resembling the Zu-
lus in national characteristics; and
they are reported to number $4,000
fighting men. Their territory adjoins
that of the Transvaal Republic on the
north, and gold discoveries have led
both Dutch and English to enter it in
considerable numbers. Dutch, British
and Portuguese troops have been sent
into the disturbed territory or to the
frontier, and the possible conflict o. in
terests enhances the seriousness Of tho

gradual increase of disposition on the
