Women Who Wear Well

1t is astonishing how great
change a few years of married
life will make in the appearance
and disposition Of many women.
The freshness, The charm, the
brilllancc vanish like the bloom
from n peach which is rudely
handled. The matron IS only q
dim shadow, a faint echo of the
charming maiden. There are
two reasons for this change, lgno-
rance and neglect. Few young
women appreciate the shock
to the system through the
change which comes with mar
riagc. Many neglect to deal
with the unpleasant drains
which are often consequent on
marriage and motherhood, not
understanding that this secret
drain is robbing the cheek of its
freshness and the form of it's fair
ness. AS surely as the general
health suffers when there is de-
rangement of the health of the
delicate womanly organs, so
surely when these organs are
established IN health the face and
form at once witness to the face
in renewed comeliness. Half a
million women and more have
found health and happiness in
the use Of DR.. PierCc'S Favorite
Prescription. 1t makes weak
women strong and sick women
well.

The popularity Of the tandem in ccr-
tain cities and the disfavor with which
it is looked upon in others is one of tho
ncXplicablc fads of the cycle trade.
Just why people should enjoy riding to-
gether in certain sections and decline To
double up" in others is beyond the
comprehension of the average mortal.
In Chicago, Rochester and several other
cities it is the height of riders am
hition to own a tandem, while in Cleve-
land, Pittsburgh, 81. Louis, and any
number of other cities, u double scatter
is almost as superiluous to "a dealers
stock as n solid tired machine would be.
The majority of manufacturers are not
AT all sorry TO note a general falling Off
in the demand for the larger machines,
since the makers never have been able
to secure the price they should get for
the two-scaters when the extra work
and the small percentage of demand for
them is taken into consideration.-The

o,Jc.t Nun in America.

At the abbey of Gethsemane, in Ken
lucky, the home of the Trappist monks
in America, was celebrated recently
the diamond anniversary of Sister
Generose Mattingly, the Oldest nun in
America. Sister Generose, who be-
longs to the Lorentine order, took the
veil as years ago, when she was but
20 years old. To celebrate her ami
versary the pope's prelate, Archbishop
Martinelli, came to Kentucky. Others
in attendance were Archbishop Spald-
ing, of Peoria, who is relative Of the
venerable sister, all the Catholic clergy
of Kentucky and number from the
east. Sister Generose is related to sew
eral of the oldest and most prominent
families of Kentucky. Though in fee
BILE health she still retains all her facul-
ties.-Chicago Tribune.

Rise and Fall of Prices.

1t is interesting to note the rise and
fall in bicycle prices during the last
81 years. In 1877 wheels of the highest
grade sold for $3.50. In 1888 the price
had advanced to $1i2.50. Two years
later the Ordinary reached its highest
value and the best grade sold for $50.
In 1887 the price had dropped to $3.50.
The rear-driving safety made it's APP
pcarance in 1888 at Sl35, and four years
later, when pneumatic tires were add
ed, the price was $50. From 1892 the
price steadily declined until 1897, when
the standard figures were 800. The
following year the advent of the chain
less again raised the price to $i2j. Pres
ent prices are SIS for the chanlcss and
$50 for the best chain wheels. The opin-
ion is freely expressed that prices have
reached the lowest point, and that fu-
ture values will tend upward. This
view is supported by the advance in the
cost of materials and labor and the gen.
eral prosperity of the country.

SUITS FOR WHEELING.
Women, Although No Longer
hone of Contention.

Bicycle riding having now become al
most as common a habit as walking,
the bicycle costume is an interesting
subject to most women, although il is
no longer the burning topic that 1t was
at first, when il served as bone of con-
tention for extremists both pro and
con. All women do not wear the same
kind of bicycle suit, not simply be-
cause there is diversity in taste, but
because there are individual points to
be considered, such as age, weight and
the sort of riding to be done. a wom-
an who bowls along few miles upon
an asphalted pavement I'm the level
streets of a city can clothe herself much
more daintily than one who takes long
trips over rough country roads where
mud, water and dust are abundant, tum-
bles thing TO be anticipated. and "A

to say nothing of great deal of eXer-
ton and consequent warmth, prone to

furbclows are never. indeed, appro-

ed with spin around tho square,

their control that they can guide the
machine in this way, but only on
smooth ground. whereas with the hi
cycle Of Mr. Mctzger this feat is rem
dercd not only easy, but absolutely safe
on all roads. In the construction of
this machine the stem of the steering
wheel is supplied with Il rearwardly
extending stcadying bar, having IL
spring causing il TO bear slightly on IL
support This pressure is sufficient to
hold the wheel steady, but not great
enough to interfere with its free mo-
tion, SO that it yields to every motion
of the body. The fork of the front
wheel is turned slightly under instead
of outward, and the steering wheel is
slightly smaller than the other, where
by the guiding of the machine is ren-
dered more easy. The steadying bar
also offers II means of steering by the
hand in case of any sudden emergency.

what the League Tia. Done.

Fourteen states require railroads to
carry bicycles as baggage. Every
wheelman in these states is indebted
to the League of American Wheelmen
for the passage of the necessary laws
requiring the railroads to so carry biz
cycles, for in every case was the league
to be credited with the laws which
have saved hundreds of thousands OF
dollars to wheelmen generally, whether
members OF the organizations or not.
The league is working in many other
directions, and its officers are constants
ly urging wheelmen to become menu
bers that the work may become even
more effective because of the moral eff
feet of large numbers demanding legis-
lation or making requests.

INCORRECT POSITION.
That Assumed by n Majority of H.
cycle Riders Is Unsafe and
wasteful of Power.

Anyone who considers the bicycles of
five or six years ago, and who looks at
the machines of to-day, must be struck
with the remarkable difference which
exists between the designs of then and
now, more particularly i'm the posi-
ton of the saddle, although perhaps it
is not quite 80 accurate To speak of
this as a difference in design, ms II ditfer-
ence in fitting and adjustment by the
rider. In many eases. however the po-
sition assumed by large proportion
of the riders of to-day is quite as wrong
as was that of the years that have
gone, and while fully admitting rhat
the cycle manufactures has to follow
the fashion, and supply that which his
customers require, it is our object to
point out the error of their way.
With the idiotic, absurd and awk-
ward backward squat" of three or
four years ago, who does not remember
the serious statements that such po-
sition was the only one suitable for
speed purposes, and that, however in
elegant it might be, il of all positions

and yet what do we see to-day? Ii Is
not the slow rider and the tourist who
have jumped to the opposite extreme,
but the racing man ndGthe1 would-bc
speed merchant, the latter very much
more than the true speed man.
AS matter Of fact, the bicycle as
we see il ridden by the rational rider
OF to-day, and the seasoned tourist, is
about rs correct in its adjustment and
position as il can well be. but the posi-
ton in which the rider is hung out to
dry on the projecting peak of an un-
duly forward saddle the while he kicks
backwards at his pedals, and has to
support himself on his dropped handle
bar, is Just as wrong as the old, far
away rear position was in the other
direction--indeed, not only the saddle
but the. handles on most machines of
the latter class are about as wrongly
positioned as they can be, for il will
be noticed that very many of our fastest
pathriders adopt handle-bars very lit
tie dropped below their saddle level
whereas we see riders about the streets
with the handle-grips set six or eight
inches below. This position is incor.
rect inelegant, unsafe and wasteful OF
power, and the sooner the younger gen.

SWEETHEART.

Sweetheart, It's almost time for leaving,
here's a greeting and goodbye;
The deep sea pillows roar toward us and
we hear the sea-bird cry:
And tonight we board the transports lying
ready at the quay,
And I'm filled with dire forebodings and
with thoughts of yesterday.
Yesterdays hold all my treasures, all my
thoughts of home and YOU
We have risked loves contamination for
suit of army blue.
Drear to-morrows promise battles In far
off alien land:
May God grant your soldier lover to come
back and claim your hand.
Last night in my army blanket lay dream
ing meath the stars,
And / dreamed of my Homecoming, my re-
turn from foreign wars;
And methought all worn and ragged, trav-
el-stained and battle-torn,
That | sought you. little sweetheart, that
l sought. and found you gone.
On from town to town | wandered, seeking
for you far 9nd near,
Just a tramp. outSast, forsaken-how /
hungered for you, dear:
And at last / found you, sweetheart hid
den in a little town,
Where I stopped all sad and weary, too
heartbroken to go on.
All the town was wreathed with flowers,
plucked for decking soldiers graves,
And | sought you, little sweetheart, mid
the tombs of martyred braves:
Sought you, but | did not find you, and,
o'erc eme with dark despair,
I stumbled to the little chapel and sank
fainting on the stair.
Suddenly a dainty football smote upon my
listening ear,
And ] recognized the echo, sprang erect
and saw you, dear
Both your lands outstretched TO greet me,
in your eyes transcendent bliss,
On your lips a smile of welcome as they
met my clinging kiss.
With your little hand in mine. dear, with
my arm about your waist,
Forth we wandered thro' the twilight,
heart to heart and face to face,
But twas all a dream phantasm; | have
first to face the foe.
And tonight board the transport and the
morrow sees me go.
What the future holds know we not-in
the far-off Philippine
When | wrap my blanket round me, you'll
bc with me in my dreams:
And you'll be my inspiration, ard I'll wear
the army blue,
So that. when the war is ended, I'll be wor-
thy, dear. of you.

Cycles In Postal service.

The London Ironmonger hears from a
reliable source that the British post Of
flee authorities, after completing their
inquiry into the subject of extending
the use of cycles, have decided to EN-
ploy cycles in future on very large
scale for the collection of letters not
only in country districts, but also from
the suburbs of London and other large
towns. 1t is anticipated that the saving
of time effected will far more than out
weigh the extra cost. Large contracts
for the delivery Of suitable machines
will in due course be placed by the post
Office officials, and we understand that
these contracts will be confined TO Brit
ish manufacturers.

The engineer who lays out railroad
dislikes to move stake when it has
once been driven.
Once, when the present chief engineer
Of western railroad was locating a
line in Missouri he was asked to change
the stakes and refused. After the
stakes had been set, young, unshaved
man appeared and asked that the road
be ''moved over Il bit.
THE road cannot be changed"
promptly returned the engineer, this
is the best place for il"
The man went into the house, got a
rife, came out. and pulled up the
stakes. The indignant engineer start
ed toward him, but was intercepted by
an elderly woman.

Il don't see why should, responded
the engineer. My business is to locate
the line, and you can call on the com
pany for damages. What does that

grily demanded.

Slept Four Hours n Day.

Alexander Won Humboldt, the great
German philosopher and traveller,
rarely spent more than four hours in
bed, and, on the testimony of Sir James
Sawyer, was frequently content with
two hours; and Littre, who lived to be
80, thought that to spend more than
five hours a day in bed was shameful
Although his invaria-
BILE hour of rising was s o'clock, he
scarcely ever left his desk until 3 in
the morning. or until sunrise warned
him that new day had dawned. Many
OF England's greatest men have scorned
the delights of bed while living "labori-
Gus days." Brunei, the great engineer,
who lived to be 80, rarely spent more
than four hours in bed at any time
of his crowded life; and Sir William
Arrol, the engineer of Tay and Forth
bridges, and the Brunei of our day,
rises earlier than any of his employees,
and will frequently crowd 20 hours
work into one day during the progress
of his great enterprises.--London Mail.

SEP WINNER AND HIS SONGS.
Author of "Listcn to the MOckinE
Bird" ana other Well known
Songs Is Still Alive.

Septimus Winner, who wrote Listen
to the Mocliing Bird" and other stand
ard American melodies, celebrated his
sefenty-second birthday the other day
at his home in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Winner makes no pretensions of
having been writer or composer of
classical music, but he has written com
positions which have thrilled American
audiences. He occupies the unique po-
sition of having been the only author
that wrote song which was sup
pressed and its author threatened with
Imprisonment.
The greatest of all his melodies, in
point of circulation and merit, was
The Mocking Bird" written almost 50
years ago, and which has been trans
lated into the languages of the princi-
pal nations of the earth. Its effect as
a revenue producer to the author lost
its worth many years ago, as the copy
right had expired. Some other selec-
tions which Mr.. Winner composed were
Whispering Hope" What is Home
Without a Mother" "Ten Little Inns"
and give Us Back Our Old Com
mander.'
1t was few days after Gen. Burn
side had superseded Mcclellan in the
command of the Army of the Potomac
that the Give Us Back Our Old Com
mander" was composed by Mr.. Winner.
He received his inspiration from the
outburst of popular Indignation which
was sweeping over the land, particular
ly among the soldiers of the Army of
the Potomac, in opposition TO the re-
moval of Mcclellan. give Us Back Our
Old Commander" could be heard at
night from one end of the union lines
to the other, and at Charlottesville.
where Hooker displayed his inability to
cope successfully with Lee, it was sung
with renewed vigor.
But at this point the connection ere
ated by the song reached its climax
when the war department issued an
order supprcssing its sale and prohib-
ting the singing of it. The govern
ment, however, did not stop at this
for Julia Mortimer, one of the greatest
of American singers, who was then fill
ing an engagement at Ford's theater,
was informed that Imprisonment await
ed her If she persisted in making the
Objectionable song part of her role.
Actors in Baltimore were enjoined by
the government from singing 1t in the
theaters.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
