1.-THE CYCYIST'S TROUBLES IN
SPAIN

An odd and extremely aggravating
obstructionist to be reckoned with in
| the realms OF Don Alfonso and Don
| Carlos is the creaking ox-cart. On first
class roads the thing is not formidable;
but met in the mountains, where there
is not one only, nor any fewer than
| twenty of them, in a long ear-torment-
I ing procession, it becomes vexatious.
1t is worse still when, in descending one
or other Of the glorious mountain zig
zags, you see dozen or two of the mon
! strosities studded about the road be-
! meath you.
| OF course, no man will be likely to
cycle in these countries without a brake.
Even then, however, it gals prodigious-
ly to pull up in the very middle of &C.
stacy time after time. Moreover, there
may be a very profound ravine on one
| side of the road, and it is somewhat
more than possible that the oxen, heaV-
lily yoked though they are, may yield to
panic at sight of the cycle. Then
anything may happen, from the death
Of one span of beautiful mild-eyed
beasts to the death Of the cyclist him
self at the hands of the frenzied driver
AS of the oxen. so of the mules, high
spirited and inexperienced horses, and
even the generally ph!egmatic common
donkeys of the land. The cycle is quite
as likely as not to excite in them all
feeling of alarm akin to madness We
write this with an especially tender re-
collection of the overturn of a large
kagon of goods and human beings,
drawn by four mules all of whom took
flight most gracefully under the gentle
stimulus Of our melodious bell This
was on the high-road between Burgos
and Madrid. 1t was a petrifying calam-
ity at first, though in the end, happily,
1t did not mean anything very serious.
An oath or two from the swarthy Cas-
titan men of the party, good deal of
Juggling with the aid of other mules as
well as the terrified four, some sobs and
prayers to the Virgin from the women
and children thus surprised and cap
sized, and peseta or two from the cy-
clist himself for the bruises Of the
youngsters. with all the regrets he could
signify-and that was the full tale of
the mischief But the cyclst subse-
quently reflected, with a curdling of the
blood, about the awful consequences If |
the disaster had happened on the edge |

And lust a word here about the new
handkerchiefs, says the Chicago Tri-
bune. They are all of lace, and are IN
tended for dainty trifes for my lady's
handling. Industrious young ladies
make these handkerchiefs with q square
Of linen no larger thar an inch for the
center. after which the lace insertion is
oyerhanded all around the square and a
wider piece of insertion sewn around the
narrow piece. Around the exact outside
there is a broad, beautiful lace ruffte-
This completes the handkerchief. Yet
not quite: it must be placed in a small,
highly scented Sachet case and there left
until it is scented throughout This deli
cate trif1e is to be worn in the hand,

There comes this season a little catch
which is for fastening on the inside OF a

caught by the catch and is secured in

it.
To return to the automobile. There is
one which is perfectly straight; it falls
from the shoulders nearly to the ground
without a curve or wrinkle of any de-
~scription. You cannot imagine how per-
fectly straight it is until o have seen
it. The box Goa is nothing compared to
it. At first sight Of the coat you are dis
mayed, but as you look at 1t longer You
think is it a pretty thing 1t is a trihe
more becoming to lender figures than
heavy ones
The little short t~ight-ftting Goa will
be fashionable. 1t is made exactly like a
bodice. In fact, the latest wrinkle is to
make two bodices, one a little larger
thar the other, the large n answering
for the coat. They are trimmed exactly
alike, with stitching and braiding, the
only difference being that there is more
braiding on the coat than On the bodice.

to scarcely cover the belt, the front pro-
jeets three inches below the belt, and the
front edges meet in quite a military

Mr. INGALLS, a Good Husband.

The death of ex-senator ingalls, has

How does he get time for every

Mrs. ingalls, stated further that Mr..

The Boarding School Girl.
The girl who is booked for boarding
hoo this fall, says an exchange, begins
to feel the tingle of expectancy as the
month of September approaches. Her
wardrobe is doubtless already planned,
and she is now only waiting for the fall
goods to be exhibited before making the
necessary purchases. OF course, she
must have one or more tailor made
suits. Then there is the hat to wear
with them, the shirt waists, the gloves
and the shoes. There is no great change
in the felt shapes, the Rough Rider still
holding it's own, as, indeed, 1t has for
outing all summer. SHIRT waists are
made as plain as possible, in order to set
smoothly under the close tailor jacket.
Shoes in the latest fashion are made to
lace, as they set more smoothly over the
instep. A light weight calfskin is the
most popular material in shoes, whether
in ties or in laced shoes.
Many boarding schools specify as to
what the boarders shall bring with them,
and in this case the list frequently in
cludes three sheets and three pairs of
pillow cases. six towels and a dozen nap
kins. All pieces must be plainly marked,
as also should be all underwear. AS
to the amount of the latter, six suits of
everything should be included in a girls
wardrobe lei there should be one or
two pretty dresses for evening and to

be also a dress hat.

About Drinking Water.

The residents of a city in the north
ern part of the state, says a New York
exchange. are dismayed by the con-
hicting advice given by the various
physicians of the place regarding the
drinking water. Some of the doctors
declare hat not a drop of the river
water which furnishes the city supply
should be drunk without long and Wig
Orous boiling, while others affirm that
of all the unwholesome and Injurious
beverages boiled water is the very
worst The fact, say they, that fish
will not live in it proves it beyond
q doubt.
Then there are others who believe
that no river water at all should be
used. but that the sparkling spring
demi5ohn, is the only water in the city
that is really fit to drink. At this an
other class holds up it's hands in horror
and asks: How do you know how
the bottles are leansed after ~circulat-
ing about in all kinds and conditions Of
families?"
One sensible woman who dislikes the
nat taste of the boiled water, but fears
the deadly microbes of the river and
spring water, boils the former, stands
1t in bottles on the ice, and before serv-
ing II pours 1t into a pitcher from as
great a height as her arm will reach,
and again into the glass in the same
manner This, she says restores the
oxygen to the water and improves not
only its taste but wholesomeness.
