was embroidering upon a delicate piece of
fabric and which reminded her of the green
pastures and still waters of the New Eng

her nephew, Richard, whom she pictured
to herself as sedulously toiling in the far

achievements she built great hopes.

Passing Of the Bicycle.
From the Baltimore American


One Of the signs Of the times, or rather
of the characteristics of the times, is the
decline and fall of the bicycle It has not
been SO long ago since there was a perfect
craze for the wheel-a craze from which
no age. color, sex or previous condition Of
servitude to other fads was exempt. Men
and women. old and young, adults and
children-all rode the wheel. The parks
the streets and the roadways were filled
with riders OF the steel steed, and when
ever one passed couple or q group in
deep conversation, the one subject of talk
was sure to be the wheel, its properties its
belongings. Its excellencies and the nro-
nciency In its management to which the
takers had attained.
Now all is changed As a fad the wheel
Is as obsolete as the dodo. especially among
young women. who before. apparentiv
could not get enough of it. This is a char.
acteristic OF the American nervous anxietv

shortest possible time. and to run a fad
into the ground. Then the natural. the
inevitable, reaction comes; the pendu,,,m
OF popular caprice swings to the other
end. and what was before SO admirahle 10
dropped completely and pays for its for
mer supremacy by being Consigned to
practical oblivion. ~

One of the four-room cottages I saw
rented for So a MONTH and a little better
one for So. Where two families occupy a
cottage there are two entrances and each
family has its own garden. The cottages
are covered with vines. Flowers bloom

for them that the waiting list is long and
men are often months and years in getting
the apartment they desire.
Club Houses for Bachelor Workmen.
There are club houses here for bachelor
workmen: boarding houses for single men
built and furnished by the Krupps and
managed by their people at as near cost as
possible. Each of these buildings has
about sixty rooms, which are rented ont
with full board to the men of the shops.
Every man has his own room. The charge
is 40 cents per day, and the men who oc-
cupy them make S150 per day.

I asked the manager what he could furnish
for 40 cents a day. He replied
''You have seen the rooms. Each is about
