Cycling Fad Being Revived.

There has come a fad for bicycling
again. Not a very full-groWn fad, to
be sure. but still good many persons
who had forgotten all about bicycles
or else hardly knew of them have TAX
en- to riding them.
And it is rather interesting to note
comment that was made some 20
years ago, when We took up bicycling
so very seriously. 1t was this : That
bicycling has done as much harm to
the habit of good reading as it had
done good to the health of bicyclers.
Nowadays there are so many other
things to blame for our loss Of the
habit of good reading. The moving
pictures, of course, come in. for their
share of blame. And then all our out
door sports must also take the time
that we might otherwise feel disposed
to devote to reading Perhaps if we
could go back to the mid-Fictorian
habits of women, before outdoor sports
were the fashion, we should do much
more substantial reading. Perhaps not.
Perhaps we have learned to do more
things than we used to do and per-
haps we are better read today than we
used to be.
1t would take a good deal of care
full work to find out.-EXchange.

Fall Fashions Come Early.

1t seems strange to speak of velvet
in hot weather, but if one keeps up
with the fashions one disregards the
calendar and the climate.
A woman who went to buy a new
straw hat on the first of June was
shown a most attractive affair in felt
and embroidery which she was told
had just arrived for the autumn. The
statement rather shocked her. She
involuntariIy felt that she was being
shown last years style when she in
sisted upon getting a straw hat, and
the salesWOma1 regarded her as q
person who was not abreast of the
times.
The air is filled with the fashions
of October, and the designers in the
dressmaking houses are turning out
very gCOdlooliing coat suits for the
early September days.
The reason behind this eXtraordi-
nary condition is that the entrance OF
America into the war and the econ
omy cry which scared SO many ner-
chants impelled them to throw their
goods on the bargain counters before
women had really ordered their best
summer frocks. And not knowing
what else to do, they have turned to
autumn fashions as a means Of per
suading women into renewed interest
in clothes

WOMEN SHOW MUCH CARE IN
DRIVING.
Mileage Made by Gentle Motorists
Ranks With Best Made by Men.

Women are the most careful drivers
of automobiles. That fact was fairly
we'll demonstrated in competitive runs
in tWenty-eight states.
In the recent big Liberty Bond Con
test of the Maxwell Motor Sales Cor
poration of Detroit women in all parts
of the nation obtained mileage that
puts them among the best drivers
Their average mileage on a gallon OF
gasoline was a great showing for the
car-that it is easily handled.
The average mileage of the women
taking part was 290S miles
The average mileage of all contes-
tants was 29.04 miles
Arizona stands first in the mileage

SHOOTING FISH IN GUIANA
Native Indians Still Adhere to Use OF
Bows and Arrows i'm This Sport.

Although the Guiana Indians all use
guns for hunting game, they still ad-
here to bows and arrows for killing
fish, and employ bow-guns and Wour-
ali-poisoned darts-fOr securing
birds and small animals. The bows
are usually of letterwood, about five
feet in length, and very powerful
The arrows vary according to the pur-
pose for which they are designed; but
all are long-from five to six feet
with shafts of arrOW-cane and shank
of hardwood fitted at one end. This
piece is tipped by steel point or
head which is fixed immovably if tue
arrow is for shooting birds or small
fish; or, if used for killing turtle and
large fish, is equipped with sockeEed
head, attached to long, strong, cot
ton line. When a large fish is struck.
the shaft floats free from the sock
eted head, which acts as toggle, anu
turns at right angles when strain
is put on the line. BY means OF this
narpOOn-line arrangement the i5l. or
turtle is hauled in. Neither fish lOr
turtle arrows are feathered. but those
used in hunting birds are provided
with two feathers which seem far too
small to serve any useful purpose.
With these simple weapons the In
dams creep along the rocky edges of
the ST. e< ms and eddies and With mar
velous deXterity shoot the fish which
only their haWklike eyes can discern
deep beneath the surface. Naked,
save for lap, or loin-cloth, the hunt
err stands motiOnless as statute, with
drawn bow and poised arrow, and, II
no fish are visible within range, he
calls them by a peculiar reckoning
motion of his hand and low whistle
Whether or not the fish actually re
spond to this command | cannot say,
but the Indians affirm that they do,
and, when this method fails, The saw
ages resort to attracting the fish with
in range by throwing certain pods and
seeds into the water-A. Hyatt YER
rill in Harper's Magazine.
