Bicycle Accidents,

1t appears from an interview with an
insurance agent, says ST. Paul's, shat
cycling accidents. so far from di-
minishing as riders grow more expert,
are steadily on the increase, and that
the list of mishaps this year is con-
siderably larger than it was last year.
One direct consequence of these statis-
tics is said to be a determination on
the part of the insurance companies to
raise the premium on the cyclists
policies. 1t is further declared that
in the majority of cases riders fall
to the left, as injuries are almost al
ways located on that side; more ac-
cidents happen in the country than
in town, and the brakeless machine
ranks second as prolific cause of ac-
cidents, and greasy roads, occasion
ing side slips, come first.

T0QUES MADE AT HOME.
Good Use That May he Made of odd
Bits Of Velvet, Feathers
and TuIIe.

Here are a few half-season toques
that, with a little ingenuity, odd bits
Of velvet, tulle and feathers, can be
made at home, over Well-shaped wire
frames. A fascinating arrangement in
mouse-colored velvet, all wrinkled hori-
zontally and resting against the hair,
is crossed in front by loosely draped
knot in light gray satin. The height of
the knot, which puffs up above the vel
vet folds in front, holds down two
stuffed guinea fowl feathers that circle
fatty back over the smooth velvet
crown. 1t is an exceedingly pretty de-
sign, suitable to accompany q tailor
made gown, and is, as may be imagineI,
very easily executed.
Another coquettish little headdress
is of pansy blue velvet, drawn to the
front in two sharp reveres. Over the
faring back reyeres is high-lifted, ir-
regular bow, knotted from bias piece
of lavender taffeta, the center of the
knot being twist CT pansy blue velvet.
Two fancy pearl hatpins, with filigree
mounting, are stuck iauntily in the
the pins is nail-fashion, as though they
served to tack the bow TO the bonnet.
An outline and twist about the small
body of the toque are made of fine
ruching of lavender mousseline de
sole.
Matching a street gown, out of the
cloth of which it is made is poppy
red toque, artfully draped and raised at
the left side with knot of velvet pop
pies, with seedy black centers. Above
the poppies is an aggressive spreading
of four lively red wings. An ornament
of cut jet is allowed to show vaguely
| among the poppies. Black tulle is ef-
fectively combined on toquc frame
! with a rolling twist of black velvet.
The tulle has an added charm if it be
first jet-spangled. The crown is filled in
with loosely folded tulle, while wide
rope twist of velvet forms the rim. The
roll is broken near the front by a
subtly wound knot of tulle that forms a
base for short jetted aigrettes. Behind
the aigrettes are airy loops of tulle that
are given a crisp appearance by being
invisibly wired
Circular flats of soft felt are easily
draped and twisted into artistic toques.
Fine violet colored felt is effectively
used in a prettily crushed toque, orna-
mented at the left side with an enor-
nous knot of very pale Parma violet"
velvet, into which two violet colorcd
quills sprinkled with jet are stuck at
angles. The center of the knot is a
jeweled ornament. At the back two
round punches of violets rest against
the hair.
Strikingly odd is toque made en-
tirely Of ostrich tips and plurNs. The
foundation is a little fiat, covered with
short, curly ostrich trimming. Around
the crown are dozens of tiny curled
tips. This roll of tips curves down in
front and up high at the side over a
cabbage rosette of turquoise blue vel
vet, centered on a pearl ornament
Back from the rosette single long
black plume curves gracefully, resting
half against the hair.-Chicago Times

REDUCES THEIR WEIGHT.
Bulk as They Near the Time
of Promotion.

A naval officer who is within two
or three numbers of his next grade
made the assertion a year ago that
he was not going to get new full
dress uniform until he got his step,
and because of this determinatio ton he
suffered greatly whenever it was nee
essary for him to get into his dress
clothes, says the New York Sun. Since
his dress uniform had been made he
had grown very much stouter, and it
was with difficulty that he could get
into it. On the occasions when he was
forced to wear it he moved slowly and
cautiously, fearing all the time he
might sneeze and burst his coat. This
officer returned after two months
service in the tropics, and to friend
who asked him about his forthcoming
promotion he said: "It will please me
when it comes, but I'm not worrying
for it as / did six months ago ! was
then too stout for my dress uniform,
and, al had vowed not to get another
until I had been promoted, ] was in
agony every time was forced to wear
it. I'm all right now. My uniform fits
me perfectly, and I'm only worrying
now for fear that when | go back
south again may get too small for it.
That climate down there is the very
best | know of for people who want to
reduce weight, and when you add TO
the climate necessity for constant
watchfulness it makes a combination
hard to beat"

Food In the Philippines.

The milk available in the Philip
pines rarely comes from the Jersey
cow, but is product of the ''cara bao"
or water buffalo, and tastes some
what oily. Oatmeal and cream are
things unknown, and the former is
now said to be too heating for a hot
climate diet. Chocolate seems to come
under the same category, and even
mangoes-the fruit with the smooth,
turpentine taste-have to be eschewed
by him who suffers from prickly heat
Bread, too, is not eaten so much as
toast, and the foreigner almost al
ways insists on getting his "pan pos
tada" in order that any lurking mi
crobes which the bread may have ab-
sorbed during the process of manufac-
tory in the little Chinese bakery, may
be DESTROYED.

SWAPPED BABY FOR DOG.
The Unusual Exchange That was
Made by Two New Jer-
scy Women.

ANY mother knows the compara-
tive value of a baby and puppy dog.
1t is infnity to nothing. Yet in New
ark, n j., a deal has just been con-
summated in which real, live, plump,
pretty chunk of humanity WAS
swapped by its mother for tiny fdl
terrier. The person who engineered
the deal was DR.. Matthew 7. Gaffney.
DIR. Gaffney tells the following story
of the barter. without giving the
names of the parties:
While a Young woman was boarding
at the house of young couple a child
was born TO her. She believed she
would be unable TO care for it proper
Iy, and asked the doctor o find q home
for it. She would not let it go to an
asylum. Mrs. F., the landlady, fell
in love with the baby, and said she
would give the world if it were hers.
y few days ago, after the mother had
left Mrs. F.'s house. the doctor saw
there a beautiful fox terrier. He is
lover of dogs.
"What'n you take for ?" he asked.
Wouldn't take $780," Mrs. F. re-
Piled. Its the finest bred dog in the
city"
Look here" said the doctor. 81 love
the dog, you love hat little baby that
was born here; We'll swap"
Mrs. F. thought he was jes;ing. When
she learned he was not she c!apped
her hands in JOY and called her hus-
band, who congratulated her, and 50.

The story is told that a friend,

his favorite restaurant, where mum
Der of officers were in the habit of
meeting. noticed that Schcpenhauer
took gold coin from his pocket be-
fore eating and laid it down beside
him. When the meal was over the
philosopher replaced the coin in his
purse. Upon a question from his
friend, Schopenhauer explained: ''I
have been dAing with these officers
for some time" he said, "and about
two months ago registered a silent
VOW to give this gold coin. of consid-
cradle value, to some worthy charity
on the very first occasion upon which
should hear these gentlemen talk of
anything but women, horses and the
chances of promotion. You see 1 still

EXTRAORDINARY Kleptomania.

One of the strangest cases of klep-
tomania ever brought to light was
heard of in Paris. A certain lady had
such a passion for smoking and for
coloring meerchaum pipes that she
had been for long time stealing pipes
of this description from shops. In the
fiat which she occupied there were
found no fewer than 1900 pipes, not
one of which, it is believed, she had
paid for. They were neatly arranged
on racks, and 80 were well colored.
The court before which she was in
dicted for some of the thefts would
listen to no excuse, but sent her to
prison for eight months.

Steamer Blown Up for Show.

Sending two engines against each
other at top speed on the same track
is not sufficiently up-to-date for the
lovers of sensation at Geneva, y. y,
where in the presence of several thou
sand people on shore and on observa-
ton boats, the steamer Onondaga was
blown up by gun cotton the other day.
The steamer was a large one, the
largest afoat between Albany and
Buffalo, and had been in service since
1860. She made her first trip on Abra-
ham Lincoln's inauguration day. The
boat had outlived her usefulness, and
this means was taken of ending her
career. The explosion was also in
tended as a celebration in honor of
the victories of the war and as repre-
sentation of the blowing up of the
Maine. Five hundred pounds of gun
cotton and 800 pounds of blasting pow
der were touched off by an electric
outton OH a boat a mile distant. The
ooat was blown almost to atoms, not
a vestige remaining above water. EX-
.ursions were run to Seneca lake by
the ailroads.-Chicag Inter Ocean.

GOV. ADAMS RAILROAD PASS.
That Dignitary Had an Encounter
with Revenue Stamps and
Was Wcrzted.

"Gov. Adams acquaintance with the
conductors on the Rio Grande railroad
saved him from paying fare or walk
ing into Denver the other day from
Sedalia," said a fellow passenger. He
had entered the coach at the station
and when the conductor came along
produced the pass he carries all the
time. says the Denver Times.
"'You do not have to attach rev.
enue stamps to railroad passes,' ven-
tured the collector of fares.

executive of the state. What makes
you suggest that l have attached
stamps 20 my pass|
"'Because you have done so,' replied
the conductor.
81 guess not answered the gov
ernor; L know better than that
"'Then look here. Who has had
your pass?' and with this statement
the conductor handed it back to the
governor.
The face of the pass was covered
with revenue stamps. They were stick
ing to it. having been attached by the
dampness gathered in a sweaty pocket

looked at the pasteboard.

conductor, because l know you and

Ills excellency expressed gratifica-
tion at the accommodating train en-

Abstemiousness at Night.

A writer in Italia Termale declares
it as his opinion that many cerscns
who remain thin and weakly. in spite
of all precautions in regard to diet,
etc, owe the fact largely to habitual
abstemiousness at night. The digest
i've organs, he asserts, have no need. for
repose, provided, always, that the
quantity of nourishment taken within
the "a hours does not go beyond the
normal limit-the fact that the inter
yals between meals are short working
no inconvenience, but, onthe con-
trary, tending to the avoidance of
feebIeness, which is the natural result
of an interval extended to too great
a length. Further, according 10 this
writer, feeble persons, those who are
always lean ard emaciated, and, above
all, such as sufferers from insomnia,
owe it to themselves not to retire with
out taking some nourishment into the
stomach such as simple bread and but
ter, a glass of milk, few biscuits or
crackers.
