He is answered somewhat felicitously
by the editor as follows:

appearance does not add a relish to q

have not grown hungry by exercising

rooms or tables for the exclusive use OF
the 'wringing wet. In the meantime
all should encourage the wearing OF

to rob cycling of any unpleasant fea,

OF course this by no means answers

that the average touring bicyolist may

An attempt is to be made to turn the
attention of the Jews in this country to-
ward agriculture. 1t is hoped that
many of them will be able to abandon
menial occupations in which they are
now engaged for the more ancient and
bcrorable pursuit of farming.

erected.
This institution has been established
through the efforts of Rabbi Joseph
Krauskopf of Philadelphia, one Of the
most progressive religious leaders Of
his faith, The idea came to him when
he was in Russia, about three years ago.
He had gone there to investigate the
condition of the Russian Jews and had
made an attempt to induce the czar to
permit them to remove to the interior
Of the country, where they might en-.
gage in agriculture, instead Of being
expelled. His mission was failure 30
far as this scheme was concerned, for
the czar was determined that the Jews
must go. He met Tolstoi, however, and
while talking to the great philosopher
and author of his plan the latter said to
him
why don't you attempt work Of that
kind in your own great land?"
When he returned, he talked the sug-
gestion over with friends and finally de-
termined to act upon Tolstoi's advice
Then he set about forming a society. In
order to raise funds he made an extern
sive lecture tour, visiting nearly every
large city in the country from Boston to
San Francisco. When he finished, he

Among the very daintiest of the new

of orepe lisse, net and silk null rufIles
overlapping each other from bottom to
top, and some saw of plain brussels net,
plated In close box plaits. Some were
gathered so full that 1t would have been
almost impossible to get more stuff in the
rufles. About FIVE Of the overlapping
ruffies, each three inches wide, made
enough for the cape, save the collar, which
was q thing apart in point of size and full
ness.
One very pretty cape Of this kind was Of
plain black brussels net each ruflle plain
ly hemmed and all sewed to a thicker net
foundation. The cape extended down the
front in point several inches below the
waist and had large bow Of black satin
ribbon, with ends, at the bottom. Three
bows, with sharp ends, were made Of the
Il
ribbon and set on the shoulders and in
front. This ribbon had very thick cord
ed edge. These oapes are as light as dan
delion puff, but they are very swell and
stylish.
Ruffles and hounces and fancy Llaitings
are put on everything In every possible

they are often made to cover a multitude
of sins in the way Of partially worn or
soiled places. Besides this, they are often
brought into requisition to add plumpness
to spare figures and sometimes by clever
arrangement apparently to detraot from
too broad an effect of figure. Some Of the
epaulets are really works Of great ingenu-
ity, as they are arranged to ripple, fall in

Tell the proprietor all about yourself,

might do some talking himself and bore
you by telling you something about the

has often surprised me by the amount
Of useful and entertaining information
which he can draw from some Of the
most unpromising roadside acquaint-
ances. He not only learns all about the
roads, but discovers all the interesting

the business carried on in the town

many other things which the taoiturn

once.
"Why, it's very simple" he said.
"Just assume that the man to whom
you are talking is as intelligent as you
think you are yourself. You don't have
to tell him so in as many words. He'll
discover that from your manner and
will agree with you. Get him TO talk
about himself, about his work, bis
neighbors and the place he lives in,

These are trimmed in various styles the

These three skirts were cut so as TO hang

they are put up and down.

proud. He has an appetite which would
do credit to lumberman and thirst,
too, which Bacchus might envy.
Not so long ago he would have been
IN object of curiosity. Passing pedes-
trians would have gathered around him
10 inquire how far he had ridden. They
would have wondered at his answers
and stared at his luggage carrier. But
now he attracts only the momentary in
terest Of the idlers. He is only one of a
great army Of wandering wheelmen. 1t
is an army whose ranks are swelling
with amazing rapidity. There were vast
numbers abroad last summer. There are
no statistics ON the subject, but should
not be surprised to learn that this year
there are twice as many.
As a general rule the touring cyclist
is rather a sensible sort Of chap, who
never makes nuisance of himself and
leaves an agreeable impression with the
people whom be meets. You and /, for
instance, belong to this class. But we
have occasionally met individuals Of
the other kind. One Of these is the
travelling interrogation point.
Now, the asking of questions con-
corning directions is all right under
certain conditions. In travelling through
q strange section of the country where
guideboards are few it is often abso-
lutely necessary. Then, too, the answer
ing of them is but a common courtesy
which every citizen is generally glad to
show to the stranger at his door.
But there are questioners and ques-
tioners. This is the way it is done by
the other one-that objectionable chap,
you know. He comes scorching along
the road at 12 mile an hour clip, and
as he passes dignified Mr.. Brown he
shouts out:
p Hey, you'll Is this the way to Big
town."
Now, Bigtown is some 90 miles dis
tant, and the road which the cyclist is
taking might be the proper one if the
right turnings were made, but there are
several chances that he might choose q
route which would take him far away
from Bigtown. Mr.. Brown really has a
very good idea OF the route which the
oyclist should follow and would prob
ably be willing to stop and explain the
details to him, but what can he do
with the rider rapidly speeding away
and craning his neck back for replyH
OF course Mr.. Brown might drop his
hat and cane and sprint along beside
che rider until he had shouted at him
the necessary directions, or If there was
trolley car at hand he might board it
and have quite a chat with the bicyclist
provided the latter would consent to
slow up a little, but ordinarily Mr..
Brown does neither. He simply waves
his hand and mods his head, Consigning
the bicyclist to his fate.
In time Mr.. Brown becomes annoyed
at being addressed with, "Say, therel
Hi, you" and similar terms. He con-

found that he had collected more than
$25, 900 and had organized an associa-
tion with more than 900 enthusiastic
members paying annual dues of from IS
to $40 toward the running expenses.
With the funds already assured DR..
Krauskopf at once began the work Of
establishing the farm school. He has
pushed it so vigorously that few days
ago the school was opened and the first
session begun. A four year course Of
study has been planned which is in
tended to thoroughly fit the graduates
for making a success Of agriculture.
During the summer months, from
April to October, the pupils will be
taught practical farming, They will
take part, under the guidance of the su-
perintendent, in all the farm work.
They will learn how to plant and hoe
potatoes and the processWy which other
crops are raised. In the winter they
will be taught the theory CT farming
and all that pertains thereto, including
chemistry, botany, geology, etc. There
will also be general course of educa-
tion as part Of the winter curriculum.
A superintendent and his wife who
have been at the head of similar in
stitution have been engaged and are in
charge of the farm. The school opens
with 75 pupils, and by this time they
are busy in the fields. Just adjacent to
the school is celebrated seed farm, and
arrangements have been made to have
the students visit it constantly and take
part in the important work done there.
This will insure their acquaintance
with the best and most improved meth
ods Of agriculture. The farm superin-
tendent, head gardener, fertilizer,
orchardist and live stock superintendent
will also constitute part of the fac
ulty of the farm school and will give
instruction during the summer by prac.
tice and in winter by theory. A nearby
stock farm which is a model Of its kind
will also be an auxiliary to the farm
school.
The school is to be conducted ON the
cooperative plan, and while the pupils
will be charged a fixed rate for board,
clothing, tuition and lodging, they will
be paid for every days work. AT grad.
uation each pupil will be presented not
only with diploma, but with deed
for piece of land He will also have
enough money saved from his own earn
ings to make good start as farmer.
The equipment for the farm school il
