row of large smoked pearl buttons set
at intervals of three inches around the
hips. Connecting the buttons and the belt
was little silver chain This chain on
being pulled at one side would lift the
skirt until 1t was of convenient bicycle
length.
I saw another, later which had links
instead of buttons, the silver chain run
ming through the links. This struck me
as being more reliable as the chain could
not slip off the rings as easily as IL could
off the buttons.
The bloomer bicycle girl is almost gone;
but not quite You still see her. She
wears very large boomers which are SO
arranged that when she stands you
would scarcely notice that they were not
skirts. Indeed you would hardly notice
that fact even when she rides. The
boomers are each two yards around and
are brought up and hooked around the
leg in Turkish trouser fashion. They are
gathered around the belt with godet in the
back so that reallyyou would not be con-
scious of the bloomer. The divided skirt
and bloomer differ from each other only
In that the bloomer hooks around the
knee while the divided skirt falls open.
The. silk shirt waist will be worn largely
on the wheel You can get a quality of
silk that really does wash. 1t is a china
silk such as is used In mems neckties. 1t
launders perfectly. The shirt waist Is
made with large sleeves and rather close
fitting blouse. Avoid making a shirt
waist with full blouse for the wheel The
wind Initiates the blouse and produces a
most ludicrous effect, similar to that Of
balloon on a bicycle.
Have the waist as blouse as you please,
but az Il close at the sides and back and
let It blouse only IN the front.
There is a very trim skirt for the CEN
fury rider or for those who Ike to spend
a great deal Of tune upon the wheel Il

OUR new SMALL ARMS.
They Differ From the Old Pattern.

Washington. May H.-The soldiers who
land in Cuba. rife In hand will find them
selves in possession of different weapon
from the Old army musket OF 81. The Old
horse pistol raised from a colt has been
hung over the chimney piece and modern
army rifles have been distributed.
Fifty thousand OF them were recently
delivered TO the war department from one
of the national armories, and $1,000 more
are on the way. These modern small arms
are wonderfully different from the guns
carried by our troops hitherto. The
clumsy old 45-caliber has been replaced by
weapon that shoots as fast as a man
can pull the trigger. 1t is effective at the
distance of a mile and the lead bullet, clad
in a steel coat. leaves the muzzle at a
speed of nearly half a mile a second, The
idea of the up-to-date rifle is to throw a
small and very hard projectile with enor-
mously increased velocity to a much great
er distance with great precision than for
merly.
A United States soldier armed with tho
new rifle win carry IT'S cartridges and car
take 40 lives if he be crack shot.

whether q bullet ought to paralyze a maa

The finest soldier marksmen in the
world are those of the United States.
Their skill has been developed under a
system of competitions wherein medals
and other badges of honor are awarded
to the vlctors.
The war department distributes 176
medals annually. OF these twenty-five are
gold. slxty-one silver and ninety bronze.
There are six kinds of gold medals for

so natty and the Alpine is SO comfort
able; but when all is told you must admit
that the Tam is seen fully three times
as much as the two others put together.
The secret of the Tams popularity can be
traced 70 it's economy. Anybody with
grain of ingenuity can make Tam out
OF a wheel of cloth and an old brim. 1t
requires no trimming except a quill at
one side which can be stuck smartly for

to carry a girl through the bicycle sea-

States of America have instituted and
will maintain a blockade of the north
coast of Cuba, including ports on said
coast between CardenaS and Bahia
Honda and the port of CienfuegoS on
the south coast of Cuba, aforesaid, in
pursuance of the laws Of the United
States and the laws of the nations ap-

An efficient force will be posted so as

neutral vessel approaching said ports.
or attempting to leave the same, with
out notice or knowledge of the estab

warned by the commander of the block
aiding forces, who will endorse on her
register the fact, and the date of such
warning, where such endorsement was
made, and if the same vessel shall

proceedings against her and her cargo
Neutral vessels lying in any of said
ports at the time of the establishment
of such blockade, will be allowed thirty
days to issue therefrom.
In witness in whereof, I have hereun-
