Bicycle Costumes.

Boomers, knickerbOckerS, and divided
skirts are not fashionable. The divided
skirts are Oftener used than either of the
two before mentioned; but even enthus-
iastic bicyclists find it possible to ride a
wheel and wear a skirt that is becoming
both on the wheel and off it, and that a
divided skirt rarely is. La the beginning
of bicycling, tailors did not understand
how to make the skirts; they were too
wide OF too narrow, and the fulness was in
the wrong place; but now degree of per
lection has been reached, 50 that, like
| riding habits, they are as trim and neat as
possible, with not one inch too much of
material, and yet enough to be entirely
becoming
Serge, cheviot and covert cloth are all
excellent materials, and there are many
golf cloths with double face that make
very smart skirts; these last are largely
used by one Of the leading markets in New
York. Skirts made of double faced ma
terial are finished SO they can be worn
either side out, thus virtually giving two
skirts-a dark blue or black will have the
other side of black and white of medium
size check, etc. 1t is not well to 60 in for

but the same effect in an all plain material
would have been better. There is con
siderable dispute as to the best style of
three quarter length, while others prefer
the Elton jacket. The great advantage of
the Elton jacket is that it is small enough
to take off and rv2l into a little parcel,
which can be strapped on the handle bar;

Bicycling boots, either tan or black, are
worn until very hot weather sets in, when
the low shoes and plaid stockings will
again be fashionable. 1t looks particular
ly well to wear leggings of the same color
as the costume, if the costume is one of
the light tan chevots orlinens; but in hot
weather leggings, like the boots, are very
hot indeed. The plaid stockings do not
look well if one has large feet and thick
ankles, and of course tan shoes with
stockings to match, or black shoes with
black stockings, are always in good taste.

Great Danger to Vessels.
Caution to Shippers Entering Boston Har

Canton to Shippers Entering Boston Har-
Dor, Because of Mines.
The full text of the regulations govern
ing navigation in Boston harbor during
the present crisis, as issued by Lieut..
Sewell of the United States engineer
corps, is as follows
Submarine mines havn been placed in
position in connection with the defences
of Boston harbor, the following regula-
tons for the navigation of the channels
by friendly vessels and for the protection
of the defences are hereby established by
authority of the secretary of war:
l. No vessel will be allowed to enter
or leave the harbor beween the hours of s
p. m. and 4 p. m. During this interval
vessels must not come inside of Boston
light, nor pass below Spectacle island
2 Patrol boats will be stationed above
and below the defences. These boats are
authorized to stop vessels to inquire into
their character or to instruct them how to
pass through the mine fields. The orders
of the patrol boats must be strictly obeyed.
3 Sailing vessels and all small vessels
drawing three feet or less can pass safely
through any part of the channels during
the day time.
4. For steam vessels drawing over three
feet, the entrances to Nantasket roads by
Georges island, and the entrance from
Broad sound into President roads will be
dangerous at all times, and must not be
attempted.
5. Steamers must pass in and out by
the main ship channel only, and, so far as
possible, at high tide. Between Long
island and Deer island a special channel
will be buoyed, and must be followed by
all steamers.
6. The safe anchorage grounds in Nan
tasket roads are now much restricted;
vessels desiring to anchor there can obtain
special instruction from the patrol boats;
the same is true of President roads. The
custom, common among sailing vessels
of entering these anchorage grounds with
anchors trailing must be totally discon-
tinued.
7. All vessels are warned that disre-
gard Of the foregoing instructions will
subject them to serious risk of destruc-
ton by submarine mines, and may draw
upon them the fire of the batteries on
shore.

a currency free from attacks of those who
would reduce it to an uncertain basis.
The net receipts, or gain in receipts of the
farmers, through this advance in prices of
the large bulk of their articles which
they sell for consumption at home, can
not be definitely measured, but it is prac-
ticable to determine the increase of the
amount received by them for the small
proportion of their products which they
send abroad Here is little statement
showing the value of the expectations of
breadstuffs, provisions and cotton, in the
Is months since the Inauguration of Pres
ident Mckinley, and comparing the re-
ceipts for those articles during that peri
Cd with those of the Is months Just prior
to his Inauguration. While it gives but
a small proportion of the increased re-
ceipts of the farmers, because of the fact
that but small proportion Of their pro-
ducts are sold abroad, it does give some
basis for an estimate of their increased
receipts and earnings under Mckinley
prosperity:

The above table shows gain of practi-
cally 500, 900, 900 in the amount of money
received by the farmers for that portion
of these three classes of their products
sent abroad, and gives something of an
idea of the enormous increase in their
total receipts from the sales of all classes
of their products in all the markets now
open to them.

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c.; May LIST, 1898
The people of the United States-the
''plain people, are to be given an oppor-
tunity in case of war to subscribe to the
war fund-to become 'fbond- holders -
viii they embrace that opportunity?
viii they make themselves members Of
that class which has been SO much in
Weighed against by politicians and dem
agogues-espeeially the latter, during the
farmers of the country, the substantial
citizens, who have experienced, perhaps,
the greatest improvement in their finan-
cial condition of any class since the re
lection Of free coinage and the determine
ton to adopt again the protective system
will they become bond-holders by sub
raised in case war is required to free the
people of Cuba from the expressions and
cruelties to which they have been subject
ed in the past?
OF course their first work on the return
of good prices, which came without the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, was
to pay off their mortgages, and that they
displayed their usual good business judy
ment in doing this is shown by the fact, al
ready announced over and over again, that
mortgages amounting to hundreds of
millions of dollars were Cancelled by the
farmers during the first year of the return
of prosperity. But the amount of money
which they received for their products
has so greatly increased that there is good
reason to believe that many of that class
of citizens of the United States will stand
ready to periodically subscribe to the
war loan, and enter themselves in the list
OF those coming to the assistance of the
g oyernment and becoming members of
t hat belated class-bond- holders.
That the amount of money which the
farmers have received for their products
kinley is far in excess of that which they
received in the corresponding period
prior to his Inauguration, must be evil
dent to everybody. But it may be in
teresting, at the same time, to examine
some figures bearing upon this subject
That the adoption Of the protective
ity and increased earnings among the
manufacturers and those whose earn
ings are affected by the manufacturers,
has resulted in an increase in prices,
is quite apparent Figures were re-

with those of April l, 1898. Wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye, beeves, sheep, hogs,
lard, butter, beans, potatoes, hides, wool,
hops, hay, and cotton seed-all showing
an advance. Here is table comparing
the prices of a few of the more important
products in the New York markets at the
date of President McKinley's Inaugural
ton, and the latest attainable date, April
IS, 1898. While the number of articles
considered is small, it includes all impor-
tant classes of farm production, and illus
trates to some extent the increase in
money which the farmers of the country
have realized for their products in the -
months since the inauguration of Presi-
dent Mckinley:

Admiral John H. Smspon of Green's

ship Ida May into this port on Thursday, and
tied her up to the wharf in Kenduskeag
stream, forninst the bridge. The admiral
reports a pleasant passage through Egge-
moggin reach. He kept sharp lookout for
Spanish cruisers in the vicinity of Dice's
Head but sighted nothing more serious than
drifting lobster pot, which he has reported
to the lobster department at Washington.
Admiral Simpson has prepared the Ida May
for war. She carries los rapid-fire guns, IS
torpedo tubes, eight or eleven fighting tops
and the finest cargo of shore fish food seen
in the stream in a long time. The Ida May
has not yet been offered to the Navy de-

out of sight of the inspection board she
won't be. The Ida May is open to visitors,

n. Y. W Wholesale Prices
March 4, April IS,

When it is remembered that very large
proportion of the products of the farm are
sold in the home markets, and that the
above figures relate to the prices in this
country at the two dates mentioned, it
will be seen that the money which the
farmers have received during the past
thirteen months for their products is
greatly in excess of that which they re-
ceived earlier. This fact is illustrated by
comparison of present prices with those
ranging back to 1894. Wheat, which is
quoted in the above table at $1.09, on
April 18th, sold in that same market on
October 4, 1894, at precisely one-hal its
present price, or 81 3 cents per bushel.
Wool sold June I, 1895, at practically one
half its present price, the quotations for
that date being 16 cents per pound, against
30 cents at the date quoted above. The
quotations for beef, family, on July 2,
1896, were $3.50 per barrel, against $11.OO
at the last date quoted in the above table.
The above statements, quoted from Of
fetal reports published by the government
regarding the earlier dates, and that for
March 18th, being from the New York
Tribune, give something of an idea of the

year, showing that the threat that the

our commerce with that country, and
especially in our sales to its people, was
an empty one.

The development Of the cotton manu-

have brought with it a desire for the pro
duction Of wool and the introduction of
wooden factories. The Wool Record, a
standard authority, commenting upon the
lapd development Of wool production in
the south, ,ays; ''While it is not to
be expected that cotton growing and other
agricultural insults are to be displaced
entirely by the wool growing industry, it
is evident from present conditions that
great battle between wool and cotton is
Imminent in the South" The develop
ment and diversihcation of industries,
both manufacturing and agricultural, in
the South has been very strongly marked
under the protective tariff, and as a result
the protective sentiment has gained
ground in that section very rapidly.
