RULES FOR CYCLISTS.

Quaint Regulations That Are EN-
forced In Foreign Lands.
In some foreign countries and cities
there are rules and regulations for wo-
men cyclists which are decidedly
quaint, according to the American way
of thinking.
Russian women are not allowed to
own cycles except by royal permission,
and itis sparingly given. In fact, I'M
til comparatively lately, there have
been but few Russian wheelwomen,
and the majority of these belonged to
the royal family.
In France women cyclists are plenti-
full, but a curious law exists which
prevents a married woman joining a
touring club unless she can present a
signed declaration from her husband
that he is willing that she should do so.
In Germany women cyclists are
obliged to pass an examination before
the city police showing that they have
perfect control of their bicycles before
they can obtain permission to ride in
the streets, and they must carry with
them their license on their cycles.
In Vienna no wheelwoman is allow
ell to take her hands from the handle
bars while riding in the streets, and In
Florence the fair cyclist is compelled
to carry two bells on her machine to
warn pedestrians of her vicinity.
These rules are all for the special
benefit of women and do not apply to
men, who doubtless are considered
more capable of controlling the va
carries of the giddy wheel.-New York

PARCHMENT.
1t Was Invented by the Greeks When
Papyrus Was Scarce.

1t Was Invented by the Greeks When
Papyrus Was Scarce.
There Is 40 evidence that papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside of Egypt during the whole
Roman period, and the industry of It's
growth and manufacture must have
been a large and profitable one. In
the time OF Tiberius a sedition was
nearly caused by scarcity of paper,
and a rebellious paper maker, ia the
days of Aurelian, boosted that he could
equip an army from the profits of his
business-and did it too.
Parchment was invented by the
Greeks when papyrus was scarce, and
the middle ages reinvented it. There
is evidence that linen rags We're used
in paper making as early as the eighth
and ninth centuries. In paper of that
period the fiber was chiefly linen, with
traces of cotton, hemp and other fibers
The known specimens are of oriental
origin and appear to have been clayed
like modern papers, the material used
being starch paste manufactured
from wheat
The oldest manuscript written on
cotton paper in England is in the Brit
ish museum and dates from 1049 A. D.,
and the oldest on the same material in
the Paris National library is dated
1850. In 1885 the Christian successors
of the Spanish Saracens made paper
Of rags instead of raw cotton, which
had been formerly employed.

AN OLD WELSH HOME.
Description of an Interior, With
Sanded Slate Flags

Description of an Interior, With Its
Sanded Slate Flags.
Robert Fowler in his book, ''Beauti-
full Wales, makes this pretty descrip
ton of an old Welsh home: THE floor
was of sanded slate flags and on them
a long, many legged table, an oak set
tie, table piano and some Chippen-
dale chairs. There were also two tail
clocks, and they were the most human
clocks l ever met, for they licked with
effort and uneasiness. They found the
hours troublesome and did not twitter
mechanically over them, and at mid
night the twelve strokes always nearly
ruined them, so great was the effort.
"On the wall were a large portrait
of Sturgeon, several sets Of verses,
printed and framed, In memory of
dead members of the family, an allie
gorical tree watered by the. devil and
photographs of a bard. There were
about fifty we'll used books near the
fire and two or three men smoking
and one man reading some serious
book aloud by the only lamp, and a girl
was carrying out the weeks baking of
large loaves, fiat fruit tarts of black
berry, apple and whinberry, plain gold
en- cakes, large, soft currant biscuits
and curled oat cakes
And, outside, the noises of a west
wind and flooded stream, the whim-
per of an otter and the long, slow
laugh of an owl, and always SILENT but
never forgotten, the restless, tower
ing outline of a mountain
