BI2YCUMG IN THE TYROL Evtn th? Mountaineers Have Caught the Fever. Pete Dailey and his merry men and Colonel George E. Waring, Jr., com missioner of street cleaning in New "ir rk City, made a bicycle tour through tho Tyrol last summer. Colonel War ing has written for The Century two stories descriptive of his experiences. In me second ono, "Bicycling Through t'je Dolomites," Colonel Waring says: s We found that the bicycle fever had reached even to our landlord who was experimenting with an iron-rimmea wheel over which the saadle was sup ported by a pair of ehiptle springs. L- tried It, and said it wen' very well, though not so soft as the "pneu." I lifted lt, and did not care to go fur ther. I told him it was too heavy. He said, "Mawknix; muss starker sein" (That's nothing; you must be stronger). Probably the extra weight of this wheel would not be considered in fixing the load that a Tyrolese peas ant would carry over the hills from the fields, and need not be regarded as an obstruction to sport The wheels here are all much heavier than ours, and much stronger. They can be sent up hill by tbe tougher thews that grow in this land, and for safety In going down hill they have very effective brakes. The best brake has two pl xe* of rubber, and about two and a half inches long and three-quarters of an inch square, which are held flat against the two quarters of the tire. It holds very firmly, and Its friction does not come on the part that ls subject to the greatest wear. It ls used, not with a steady pressure, but with successive light squ?H!zes. When one becomes ac customed to lt, lt gives excellent con trol to any degree desired-even to holding- the machine sfcockftill under any load and on any grade. Even the usual flat brake has a rubber face which holds better and lasts longer than,metal. My American brakes were "not in it" on these hills, as com pared with those local wheels which I rode. i?e use of the brake Is exacted by law in all*towns, and lt ls almost uni versal on country roads; so Is the fur nishing of the wheel with a bell, but the better riders in Innsbruck do not use lt in. the city streets. They say they can make their way safely at a moderate speed, If the people keep on their way, while If they are disturbed and made nervous by a bicycle bell, they are liable to make some unex pected movement that may lead to a collision. I remember a case of mu tual dodging at a street crossing In New York, between myself and a Indy whom my bell had startled, which came near being annoying. Perhaps the custom in Paris of hanging a little sleigh bell loosely from the handle bar is safer. It jingles all the time, some what to the annoyance of the rid;r; but it has a faint horse car suggesti on which keeps the public on the lookout. Nowhere in Europe did I see the brutal quadrupedal "scorching" that is such a nuisance and such a danger with us. Another device I found to be in v?ry general use in Tyrol. This ls a snap clip for holding the front wheel In line with the machine, so that lt nay oe stood against a tree or any other support without falling. It is useful In pushing up hill with the hand on the saddle. Tbe direction is changed by lifting the hind wheel to right or left The clip ,1s set or released in a moment As we left onr lunching place we found the yoong towheads o ! the farm standing in mute and respectful won derment about our. wheels. We giive them a bit of a ride, two ut a thee, and left them enriched with the mem ory of a s ensation they had never be fore known, and will neve.* repeat anti never will forset A Sure Deliverance.

COWNS WORN BY SOME OF NEW YORK'S WELL-KNOWN WOMEN. A New Fad Organized by Metropolitan Damen-Proper Cultivation of the Voice -An Imposing Brunette's Fetching Frock-Opera Singer's Neat Costume. (Special New York Letter.) New York women are never satisfied unless organizing some new fad. Now it is a society to cultivate the proper use of the voice in conversation. Thp promoters claim that the voice betrays the character of -the person to a far greater extent than most of ns realize. Many people express but one condi tion-mental or physical-when speak ing. Sometimes it is weariness, ner vousness, placidity, self-confidence, timidity, the spirit of martyrdom or candor. The idea appeals evidently to many, as the club is already one of the largj est in town. Many well-known society women have entered their names on the roll of membership. At a 4 o'clock tea the other day I heard Mrs. H. S. Kissam discussing this theme with Miss Bertha Marie Paree. Mrs. Kissam is a magnificent looking woman, and, when I saw her, wore a gown of dove-gray canvas, made with a stylish jacket of a blazer pat ten*. Her coat was lined with beflow ered pink silk which made a pretty contrast. Miss Paree is a lecturer on the use of the voice. Her head is ex quisitely pois?d; and her graoeful figuro was well outlined in a tailor made snit of blue check in two tones. The skirt wafa perfectly plain, and set off by the dapper three-button cut-a way, with a stylish seeded silk waist coat peeping coquettishly out. ? An unusually fetching frock I saw at the Opera.-when the whole house rose en-masse to bid ?u-revoir to Mme. Calve at her last appearance at the Metropolitan. It was worn by an im posing brunette, with a coat that looked as if the wearer were moulded into it. The coat design was quite new-#-a tight fitting Eton, with double' fevers to show a lace chemisette, and held in place at the waist in front by a belt A FETCHING FROCK. attached. The material was a hand s?gwAlack-olQ?^yifo a ha?Fl???e~of" white. Speaking of opera, it seems a pity that our New York, managers do mot issue sonu' such regulation as the one recently put in force at the Imperial Opera Hon .'.Vienna. There the rule says thn? not more than three recalls shall be allowed at the end of an act exoept on first nights. At her fare well, Calve, after bowing thanks nine times, was compelled to cross and re cross in front of the curtain sixteen times. The fatigue of this, after the .N'l'AT GOWN OF THE CHECK PATTEB?J. labor of singing the principal role in Faust, must he intense. She may well ask to be saved from her friends. While dining in the Frenchiest of French restaurants last week, the cen tre of New York Bohemia, I saw Miss Amanda Fabris with a party of friends. Miss Fabris is a leading member of the Whitney Opera Company, and has been more than successful in the beautiful Irish opera, "Brian Boru." Her fig ure is her strong point of beauty, and she is a- coloratura soprano of consid erable skill. On or off the stage she is considered one of the best dressed women in town. Her gown when I saw her was simplicity itself-of a neat check pattern, the skirt perfectly cut and hanging faultlessly, with a smart single-breasted box fly front coat. That it was the latest style goes without say^ ing. Miss Lilian Bell, the Chicago girl who has gained a high place among the polite novel writers, has been here en route for Europe where she will write and travel during the next two years. Of late she haa been reading in many parts of the country. London womon are getting very art ful in the usa of veils, ar "fall nets," as they call them. This season they are making their complexions dazzling by attaching under the black veil a piece of flesh pink tulle whioh, they claim, makes a muddy complexion look as A SUIT OF BLUE CHECK IN TWO TOKES. delicate and fresh as the blurb on the skin of a luscious peach. The costumes illustrated herewith were designed by The National Cloak Co., of New York. ?* MIXED THE STEWPAMS. The Disastrous Mistake Made by a Young Married Man in Louisville. A young married'man of Louisville, who lived with his wife and twe small boys in a suburban cottage dering the summer, had a very interesting experi ence with razors not long ago. It was his habit to shave himself while his wife was preparing breakfast, and, of course, he was not expected to. know ' GOWN OF DOVE-GBAY. that she had two small stewpans just "sliko-whatlSusiness have men to know anything about stewpans, anyway? He walked out of the bed room, saw his customary little stewpan of hot water simmering on tho hob, poured its steaming contents into h??? shaving mug, and went back to his toilet. When called out to breakfast, some fifteen minutes later, he emerged in a very red and scarified condition, and had a few remarks to make. "By George! Never while I live will I ever try to economise again. That cheap shaving soap which I bought is a perfect fraud. I couldn't make it lather to save my lile, and I got so nervous that I've gone and hacked my face all to pieces." The |wife was still busy putting breakfast on the table, but she had time for a few sympathizing remarks. Then she turned to the fire with a sur prised air, and said: "What's become of that syrup?" "What syrup?" the man with the mangled chin inquired. "Why, I made some sugar syrup for the batter cakes; it was cooking right here on the stove, and it is not here. Where on earth is it?" "Was it ih a little stewpan?" the man asked-"a little stewpan just like the one vou generally put my hot water in?" "Yes," she said. "Did you do any thing with it?" "What I did to it was aplenty," said the man. "I took it and shaved with it." Of course, everybody laughed, and everybody was a trifle vexed. The husband thought the wife ought to have posted him on the stewpans; the - wife thought the husband ought not to walk off with stewpans without ask ing questions, and the. children still think it is a queer father who will cheat his own infants out of syrup on their batter cakes.-Louisville Courier-Jour nal. The nistory of the Kile. The invention of the kite is usually attributed to the Chinese. The first man on actual record as haring nsed the kite is Archytas (about 400 B. C.). For what purpose he employed it I have been unable to apcerta .n, but it is not probable that he accomplished anything of scientific importance; and it was not until 1749, when Dr. Alex ander Wilson and Mr. Thomas Mel ville, in Scotland, used it for taking the temperature of the uppe : air, that the kite showed possibilities of becom ing a useful and scientific apparatus. Franklin's well-known experiment of obtaining atmospheric electricity by means of a kite again drew attention to it. It is, however, within the last decade that the kite has gained nearly all of its importance, and this, is due to its development by men who have studied it, and the forces acting upon it, iii a scientific Way. Among others may be named Marvin, Langley, Har grave and Eddy; by their labors a hitherto useless toy has become an im portant scientific apparatns.-Century. BIU rout inf,- by Machine.

"The Royal Family of Greece" is the subject of a paper by Benjamin Ide Wheeler in the Century. Professor Wheeler says: Personally the King is a sociable, companionable man, fond of a joke, particularly susceptible to the flavor of American humor, and not at all stringent in the minutia? of official etiquette; he sometimes gives one the impression that he will be glad when the formal part of the ceremony is over. He is often seen walking in the parks or o ? the sidewalks of his capital, and in the seclusion.oi his garden rejoices in the use . of an American bicycle, which no interpretation of royal license wonld permit him to ride upon tho highways. He is, however, a rigid disciplinarian, and his children have been brought up to feel the full force of the authority of the Teutonic house father. The Crown Prince, now twenty-eight years old and father of a family, still looks to him, as do all his other ohildren, for permission and ad vice in regard to all their goings and oomings. Pre-Columbian Miners. Among the traditions of tba Chero kee Indians is one asserting that long before the time of Columbus-even be fore the red men had settled along the Atlantic coast;-a comparatively well civilized race, with a knowledge of tho mechanical arts, lived in the valleys of the Southern Allegheny Mountains. They had a knowledge of the working of metals and dug mines for gold and mica in the mountain sides. In cor roboration of this legend there are still to be found in the. present rich mica mines in Western North Carolina evi dences of having been worked a long time ago.

Snake Skins as Fancy Work, The ingenuity of woman has com passed a new use for snakes by the dis covery that the decorative cast skins . of the creeping tribe may be converted into bazaar attractions. A well known savant, whose sanctum is lined from floor to celling with glass cases whence venomous eyes regard his visitors with futile fury, is besieged by ladles covetous of novelties for their stalls, who beg eloquently for the cast off clothing of his reptilian pets. "At times," he says, "I have on hand a large wardrobe of cast skins-a bankrupt stock, so to put lt, of 'returned empties'-some perfect, many 'mis fits' and a few damaged goods. A really fine specimen like this"-he held up for admiration a tawny golden sheeny length of scales-"brings quite a high price at a bazaar, t:.d many of my lady friends, weary of working the ever lasting 'crewel,' or perpetuating the many useless inventions of the fem inine needle, 'bespeak' a skin some months before it is.due, and are often quite angry that I cannot Induce a snake to shed his skin with due regard to a specified bazaar date. "These ladies argue that it is great saving of labor to substitute the ready made clothing of the snake worked for a tobacco pouch or blossoming braces, while experience shows that the aver age man readily invests in a good snake skin."-New York Herald. The Microbes of Rinderpest Professor E. Symes-Thompson re cently delivered at Gresham College a course of four lectures on "Bacteria and Disease." Referring to the in vestigations now being made into the cause of the rinderpest In South Af rica, he expressed his beief that the microbe discovered by Dr. Eddington at Grahamstown might be regarded as the microbe of rinderpest. Professor Koch appeared to have ascertained that the organisms could be trans ferred from animal to animal, for In stance: The disease produced was much milder than in the case of others. It would probably be found that the Inoculation of the less virulent form of rinderpest would render cattle Im mune to the more virulent form, ex actly as vaccination rendered us Im mune to small pox.-London Inven tion. Where Ignorance is Bliss. "What," he demanded severely, "must we think of a woman who tries to be like a man?" "That she doesn't know him," an swered his wife. He made no rejoinder,but there was a subtle fomething in the way he went and shook down the furnace to sug gest that his mind was ever, yet not entirely at rest-Detroit Journal. Joke Is on Him.
