The Beard in Tunis.

In Tunis when a reIgnlng prince
finds it necessary to go outside his i'm
mediate family to choose his successor
he follows an odd custom. There the
wearing Of hair on the face is the ex-
elusive privilege Of sovereignty. When
the prince selects a successor he sends
the court barber to the fortunate indi-
vidual to notify him that he may wear
a beard This intimatioR Is equivalent
to a formal announcement that he has
been selected as the heir presumptive

WHEEL HAS NOT DISAPPEARED.
Do you realize that one million Ameri-
cans have been riding bicycles this
year?
Would you have guessed that one
quarter of that number OF wheels are
in daily use in this country?
Probably you would have made
a negative reply to both questions. But
as a matter Of fact, bicycle makers who
are in close touch with conditions claim
that a million riders In 1906 is too small
an estimate by several hundred thou
sands. And they will tell you that the
figures for 1907, judged by present
signs, will be nearly half million
greater. Makers would give a good
deal to know whether we are on the eve
of a bicycle boom, or whether the great
yearly increase shown in the last four
ior five years can be classified merely as
a splendid healthy growth in business
which is as stable to-day as the sewing
machine industry. There is a constant
upward trend to the sales of each, tax
ing one year with another, and a sud
den unexpected increase in orders nat
urally creates surprise,
A fad movement would hardly be
welcomed by the manufacturers them
selves They prefer to believe that the
people all over the country are begin
ming to realize what they have been
missing or denying themselves for the
last few years.
Aside from the healthful and econon1-
ic side of the question, the wheel is ac-
tually SO much part of the daily rou-
tine, which we see without wasting
thought over 1t, that we pay no more
attention to the man who whizzes by
on the sidewalk. But if you stand be-
side a great office building at the clos
/ ing hour for business and watch the
stream of bicyclers emerge and ride
| away, you would quickly realize that
! the wheel is playing tremendous part
! in the transportation problem to-day.
! This was strikingly shown in San
Francisco when the city's usual means
of conveyance were paralyzed by 1.-THE
great disaster this spring.
1t is estimated that over two thou
sand bicycles were ruined by the sarth-
quake and fire, and the instant need Off
other sorts of vehicles only intensified
their boss. Every kind of wheel trans
portation was demanded of the east,
and on rush orders. Men hurried to the
manufacturing centers, of the country
and bought every bicycle that could be

other part Of the country. 1t was Just

However, the present crescendo
movement should surprise no one. In
its own field the bicycle is supreme,
and will remain So until we can buy
bur individual wings and fit across the
fousetops Pehhaps it is safe to say
that bicycles come as near flying as
anything that the majority of us will
ever see, and we are simply returning
to one Of this very finest FERNS. Of exer-
else we have ever known.
And the best part Of 1t all Is that the
wheel sold to-day is not only about half
as expensive as the ones we rode ten
years ago, but is actually a better one
