PHOTOS IN BICYCLES.
for Pictures OF Their
Admirers.

"Screens decorated with photo
graphs, by common consent. were rele-
gated long since to the dusty Obscurity
of the garrett or the miIdewed isolation
of the cellar" says the photographer
who studies fa6s: but photographs
will accumulate, and women find itnec-
cessary to exhibit some of them at
least. So there has risen a fertile
genius with a fad for displaying photo
graphs on the bouGOir wall gracefully
distributed between the spokes Of a BIZ
cycle wheel, says the New York Press.
Not an ordinary bicycle wheel, how
ever, will suffice. If it is a young wom-
an with matrimonial prospects. more
or less immediate, OF 4 maiden N the
first thrOes of hope. she must show her
pictures in a wheel from her best
young mans bicycle. If she is married,
then she must use a wheel which has
revolved in century runs. This is an
effective ornament and permits the eN-
hibition of so or more favOrite pic
lures.
"Another fad has brought it about
that many young men who last year
were wearing boards have faces as
smooth as eggs this year. Their adOrn-
ments have been sacrificed to the fad
in question. The end of the century

One Of the stories of the late Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt Illustrates his personal
courage. While he was in Europe
with his sons years ago he sent word
to Mr.. Depew. who was in London,
that the boys wanted to visit the toni
of Agamemnon. in Greece. As the
holding up of trains upon the railroad
which he would have to take to reach
Argos was by no means rare, MI De
pew sought to dissuade him from the
idea. Mr.. Vanderbilt. however. in
sisted upon going. At Vienna, through
some delay. the party missed the train
it was to have taken and was forced to
take the next one.
Mr.. Vanderbilt learned afterward
that the first train had been held up In
the mountains by robbers and that four
men. who had been mistaken for his
party, had been taken from It, These
men were forced to raise $4,000 before
they regained their liberty.
