Oh! Such
 Beautiful Ribbons.

We heard that remark half a hundred times yesterday. These are not the ordinary corded Taffeta Ribbons but very fine quality with three clusters of cords, four cords in cluster. Pulling up the end cluster makes a pretty rufle, pulling up both edges a puff, pulling up the center cluster makes the modish rosettes or stylish brim for hats, or a ruche either. In any of these ways it makes stunning trimming for fam cy work. In short its possibilities are endless. They're 31l inches

TRULY ABSURD THEORY.
The Hump, OF Camel Back. Position
on the Wheel Does Not In
iure the Rider.

OF all the popular mistakes about
bicycling, that of the hump, or camel
back, is the most common. We are told
that the habit Sf lHaning forward upon
the handle bars so as to get greater lev
erage upon the pedals, and to offer less
resistance to the air. has n tendency to
bring about an abnormal development
of the back and shoulders, which is
called the bicycle hump" Nothing
could be more absurd.
Just note the first wheelman YOU see
scorching towards you with body well
bent over his work. AS his head is down
you will see at distance what appears
from your point of vision TO be a round
ing hump between the shoulder blades at
the back of the neck. AS he approaches
this fancy will be shown to have been
but an optical illusion, and when you
look at him from the rear you see at
once that the body is perfectly straight,
bent only at the hips. The very for
ward pressure of the mans weight
upon the handle bars has a tendency to
force the shoulder blades squarely
back, so that if it were possible to cause
a deformity it would necessarily be
that of hollow back rather than that
of hump.
On the other hand, by way of con-
trast, note the man who sits bolt up
right in the saddle. AS he faces you
you are again deceived. He appears to
be erect and his shoulders square, but
as he goes by you will note, if he be
an old wheelman, that there is de-
cided tendency to roundness or droop-
ing of the shoulders caused by his meth
cd of obtaining leverage to work his
pedals. Being upright, he cannot get
sufficient power in his weight alone
when the difficulties of an up grade are
encountered, so he must pull forward
upon his grips, and it is this constant
downward tension that sooner or later
brings about a more or less slanting
of the shoulders from that square form.

TAKING EXERCISE.
How the Ameer of AfEhanistan Has
Followed the Excellent Adj
vice of His Doctors.

The ameer of Afghanistan has been
ordered by his doctors to take exercise.
and he has probably discovered the cas-
lest way of taking it that ever was
thought of. The ameer is getting fat
and has been suffering from indiges-
ton, and that is why he has got to take
exercise.
He has ordered from a famous car
riage making firm of Oxford a PEE
cuEar vehicle for exercising purposes.
The carriage has light body, and is
propelled by an arrangement of bicycle
wheels from the rear. Two stalwart Af-
ghans sit on saddles over these wheels
and pedal with all their might to drive
the fat king over the terrible roads of
Afghanistan.
When the ameer feels inclined to is Ike
exercise little more violent than mere
ly sitting down in the carriage, he does
so by pushing two pedals arranged in
front of him. In this way he can sdd
about half small boys power TO the eff
forts of the stalwart Afghans pedaling
away behind him. The carriage is a
handsome one, and the body is pat
termed like an old English georgian
phaeton. 1t is fitted with silk cushions
rather luXuriously.
Besides the carriage for his pei sonal
use the ameer has had another built
for the use of the members of his ha-
rem. The carriages have cost $1,000
each, and are capable of maintaining a
speed of 12 miles an hour.
1t will be relief to everybody at Ca
bul, the capital of Afghanistan, if the
ameer's health should improve. In his
present state of i'll temper he is very apt
to cut off peoples heads. He was a
great soldier in his day, and is a very
capable monarch, but his temper has
lately been very uncertain. Some time
ago he had a very bad toothache, and
the English dentist who accepted an in
vitation to go to Cabul and pull it out
felt very nervous until he had secured
the tooth and got out of the country

the civil war, where he was one of the

lucky in many things, but very lucky
in not being killed. He frequently led
forlorn hopes or maintained desperate

appalling, but he came out without

L shall never forget.
The unionists had been outnum-
bered and probably outmaneuvered, and
were falling back, pursued by the con-
federates. Hayes was ordered to hold
the enemy in check in a narrow valley
until the artillery and supply wagons
were safe. He promptly intrenched
himself and erected barricades of logs
and stone fences. He had Gen. Hast
ings to hold one side of the gorge and
Maj. William Mckinley, now president,
to hold the center. The night wore on
and soon the firing began.
Suddenly Gen. Hayes saw men
wounded and staggering in front of one
of his barricades, and in the darkness
took them for his own soldiers. He or
dered the firing to cease, and ran him
self out of the line to save them as far
as he could. A few feet from cannon
he heard a man moaning. He picked
him up and carried him within the lines

age, whose swimming master had told
him in an emergency to lie upon his
back in the water, did so. Two little
girls belonging to the party held on
