women whose nnnas are Famous.

women whose Hands are Famous.
The Frenchwoman's hand, says an
authority on the subject, is the most
attractive of all among the daughters
of men, That is not because Provi-
dence in generosity endowed her with
more perfect contour in the begin
ming, but because the Frenchwoman
in this, as in all things else, has been
for generations bringing careful art
to the aid of nature The French
woman's hands are the best cared for
in the world. Therefore, not even the
American girl, with the reputation of
having the smallest hands on earth,
nor the Russian, whose hands are
naturally the best shaped, compare
with the Frenchwoman.
The Frenchwoman whose hands are
typical of all those of her race is the
Duchesse de Mouche. She started
well with small, gracefully modelled
ones. Proper care has made them
dreams of loneliness, with fingers
curved at the extremities and nails of
almond shape. The Vicomtesse de
Gallard has such beautiful hands that
| sculptors forever want to model them.
Some beautiful hands are also found
in Spain. Often, however, a thick
ness of the finger tips spoils them.
| The Austrian Archduchess Elizabeth,
mother of Queen Christina, has lovely
hands Mines. de Yturbes and Mleri
| also have the kind nf hands that cause
excitable Spanish poets to wish to
write sonnets about them.

PonuIar Literary Girl.

For literary girl Miss Plum seems
very popular
Eyes. It's her method. She invites
a young man to the house to read over
her latest sonnet. When she comes to
a word like miss for instance, she
asks him if he can improve the rhyme.
If he has any brightness at all he will
suggest kiss and at the same time
illustrate it. If the word is tease he
will suggest squeeze and illustrate
that. Oh, it's no wonder she's a pop
ular poetess."

No Change For 1t.

The best description of a counterfeit

said: We'll, Dawson threw piece of

A politician says: When man
leaves our side and goes to the other
side, he is traitor, and we always felt
that there was subtle something
wrong about him. Hut when man
leaves the other side and comes over
to US, then he is man of great moral
courage, and we always felt that he

Paradox.

The man who treasures up his speech

Is either a philosopher,
Or else he is fool.
The man who talks and talks and talks
Belongs to the same class;
He's wiser, even, than a sage,
Or else he is an ass.

CYCLING.

Judging from the Patent Office reports
the bicycle inventor is just as active as
ever. ...
McDuffee's work at the Berkeley Oval
track Saturday last has opened a wide
field OF conjecture on the part of those
who dabble in figures and make up their
form books from time records.
Multicycles Of every description can be
seen on the roads this season, tandems,
trips and even quads being used by the
road riders.
Cooper has defeated Bald five times
out of six, defeating him III every race,
and suffering defeat only in the match
race at Watham.

to know that Charley Church, who is to
ride with Frank Starbuck against Butler
and McDuffee at the South End Wheel
mems meet in Philadelphia on Saturday.
was riding in his old-time form at Willow
Grove Monday afternoon.
The outlook for the success of the '9S
national meet grows brighter every day,
and many of those who contemplate
visiting indianapolis next August have
begun to engage quarters for the week.
The interest in the meet this year seems
to be growing all over the country, and
it is certain to bring more representa-.
tive class of American wheelmen and
wheelwomen than any other gathering
that was ever held in this country.
Jaab Eden, the well-known European
crack, yesterday was matched against
"Major" Taylor, the colored whirlwind,
in series Of mile heats to take place at
Manhattan Beach next Saturday, on the
occasion of the Taylore-Linton paced
contest at 80 miles.
In the opinion of those well up in
cycle racing Jimmy Michael will be
very lucky youngster if he does not meet
his match this year. Without consider
ing possibilities of defeats by Taylore or
Linton, Eddie McDuffie of Boston, who
has done some phenomenal work this
season, is tipped to give the Midget the
hardest race of his career. Many would
not be surprised to see McDufiie beat
Michae..
1t seems that some cyclists will never
learn that pedestrians have the right of
way. They come along, ring their bells
in II am coming; get out of the way"
fashion, and the pedestrians are ex-
pected to jump for their lives. Some
cyclists think that when the bell is rung
they have done all that is required Of
them. If pedestrians are injured it is
their own fault. As matter of fact, q
cyclist is bound by law to see that pedes-
trians get all the room they need, to
watch for and steer clear of careless per-
SONS on foot, &c. When all cyclists learn
this, there will probably be fewer acci-
dents.
Walter G. Sanger has received a letter
from "Dixie" Hines, the celebrated
matchmaker, relative to proposed pur-
suit race with Coulter, the noted un-
paced bicycle rider, of Denver, also
paced race with Linton or McDuffie.
Though Sanger's intended retirement
was announced some time ago, he now
evinces willingness to meet Coulter,
providing a suitable purse is hung up.

New Tax Law in Effect.

At midnight on Monday the addi-
tional internal revenue tax of 81 was
added to every barrel of beer brewed.
The tax applies ito the stock on hand
of brewers and wholesalers, but ex-
empts the stock of retailers.
Because of this exemption, there was
a rush last night on the part of the brew
ers and bottlers to unload on the saloon
keepers as large quantity as possible Of
the stock on hand. This stock went out
under the 81 license stamp.
Between 6 o'clock and midnight, brew
cry wagons, heavily laden with kegs OF
beer, dashed along the streets in all sec
tions of the city. Before the door of
nearly every saloon, one or more of these
wagons stopped to unload a part or all
of the kegs.
