Wet Generally Know. It is not commonly known that the capital of China is ice-bound for five months out of the twelve, or that the stolid-looking Chinese could ever be graceful skaters. The Chinese use a very inferior style of skate, of their own manufacture-a mere chunk of wood arranged to tie on the shoe and shod with a rather broad strip of iron Lookere On.

We Woma Physician of New York Says 8 Skirts Must Give Way. 'e "As regards the matter of costume," a said a woman doctor of New York to a r Tribune reporter, "I think the long skirt is bound to go. It looks out of place on a bicycle and is certainly much In. the way. The truth of the matter is that no costume which can be devised is going to make women ap e pear at their best on a bicycle. The y very position that they assume and the constant movement of the limbs up and y down prohibits a graceful appearance. t The delight of the exercise, however, o more than compensates for any draw e back of this kind, and most wheel women are willing enough to look even d awkward in order to enjoy the sport. The impression seems to prevail that for a woman bicyclist to decry slirts is to proclaim herself unfeminine, somewhat more immodest than her conventional sisters. I say that such is not the case. In my opinion, for a e woman to ride in bloomers, with a skirt over them, which is constantly blowing up and showing the bloomers beneath, is far more indelicate than for the bloomers to be in evidence from the start. The wearing of the skirt sug gests that there is something to con ceal, and where the bloomers are worn it is a frank intimation that the "tder recognizes the nature of her undertak ing and has dressed herself appropri ately. As regards the display of a V woman's ankle, I do not see why it is I aiore vulgar than to show her arms 9 and part of her spinal column in even ing dress. There would be nothing vulgar in a woman's sitting with her foot up if she had on a divided skirt gathered at the knee, or even bloomers, but when she has an ordinary flowing skirt and elevates her foot ever so little the aspect is entirely different. "One can see an illustration of this subtle difference at any time in view ing sculpture. There is a calm nobil ity, a dignity, about the simple pose of the undraped Venus that the figure which stands in a conscious, shrinking bttitude lacks altogether. It is the ad mission that there is anything to con ceal which suggests vulgarity when the drapery is by Iccident disarranged. At the costume show in Madison Square garden there were lay figures dressed in cycling costumes in order to show the various styles. Passers-by invariably turned up the short skirt of one of these images in order to exam ine the unique leather binding on the bottom. That short skirt was only a lay figure, but there was vulgar sug gestion in its being lifted, which did 1 I not pertain at all to the bloomer suits, I or even to those with knickerbockers. I think if this public difference could I be made clear to the people there would be less hue and cry made about bicycle I costumes. I do not think that woman I will ever resign her flowing skirts for I the drawing-room or the ordinary vo cations of life, but when she goes out to take part in active sports she should I dress appropriately. I fail to see wberc the long skirt worn when ridng a bi cycle conveys the idea of modesty. In the firet place, the motion of the limbs, which it is intended to conceal, it shows much more plainly than the bloomers or full trousers. As a woman t sits on a bicycle the plain front breadths of the skirt ft smoothly over the knees; no other skirt is usually worn beneath it, and the. paddling up and down of the limbs looks anything but graceful. There are few accidents from long skirts; one seldom hears of f any, but it is because the wearers are " extremely careful. A woman wearing e a long street skirt on a bicycle looks C to me as much out of place as a yacht-. ing suit would appear at a ball or a a cycling costume at a reception." p Plasat versenus Smas Na. p There was a curious little incident a at Saturday's Pop. It was a struggle k between a pianist and a mupamn man. i The pianist was on the platform; the k munp man was in the street. 'The ' name of the former was 8auer; theIi mumn man's name has not appeared. d Herr Sauer went in first and led offrt with the opening bars of a Chopin fan tasui. Then the muamn man began and contlnued. His note was monotonous b but penetrating, and in the preoence of a very large audience the German frankly admitted defeat by taking his hand from the keyboard. A few more 0 peals from the bell just emphasised vic tory; the sound grew feebler and more distant and then the fantasia was re sumed. Some people like music and h others like mufns.

It was publicly talked all over Clare County for some time before the Cou , rier-Herald sent a reporter to Dover to .g investigate the Coulter matter. He f finally went, and we publish to-day his report. 'the Coulters are prominent people, though Mrs. C. In response to the question whether she objected to be ing interviewed, said, "Certainly not." - Her story follows: "About 14 years ago e we decided to take up our abode in e Dover and everything went along d smoothly for seven years, business progressed and being of a saving temrn . p- .ment we accumulated quite an r, amount. Our family increased as the Syears rolled by and we now have 5 children, but sickness made Its way into our household, and doctors' bills flooded n upon us. until we have nothing left but our home and our children. Everything went to satisfy the claims of physicians. "About three years ago I had a miser .s able feeling at the back of my ears, my right hand became paralyzed and the paralysis extended to my arm and r throat, and would affect my head and h eyes. Sometimes for days I would lose a my sight, my face was deformed, life a less as it were, my nose was drawn to one side and I presented a pitiable ap y Iparance and never expecting to regain s my natural facial expressions. I em er ployed the best physicians that could be procured, expending thousands of dol e lars for their services, but could not ob tain relief. At last, they stated my case was beyond the reach of medical skill and it would be but a short time until the end would come. In con nection with receiving the attendance of physicians I have tried every medi cine known to the apothecary but never received any relief until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills came to my as Ssistance. Before I had taken half of , the first box the deformity in my face had left me, and before four boxes had been consumed the paralysis had disap g peared entirely and much to my sur r prise I felt like a new woman. I have not taken any medicine since last spring just about a year ago and my trouble * has not appeared since. I owe my g health, my life to Dr. Williams' Pink e Pills. "A short time since my little boy John was afflicted with St. Vitus' dance. He S could not walk across the room without assistance, in fact he would fall all over himself, but after taking a few boxes of Pink Pills. St. Vitus' dance entirely left him, and no trace of it is left. These e Pills are worth their weight in gold. g You may say in this connection that I am willing at any time to make affidavit to the truth of these statements, and furthermore I will answer any commu e nication concerning my case.

About Sa year ago he contracted pneumonia,. i, and his life was for sometime despair i. ed of, the doctors saying his right j lung was hopelessly wasted. He re j covered, however; but when just able a to hobble about he fell and broke his thigh bone, and was confined to the I r hospital again for six months. Since . leaving, however, his physical condi t tion has improved remarkably. His lungs began to open up until they become almost as well as ever; his skin shed off and a new skin grew. and hair and beard which was snow white, are coming out a jet black. t His limb, and muscles have limbered up, and he started a week or so since, t to take a herd of young horses across ta long trail to market. He says, if he continues to grow young, he will r get married again and grow up with t the country. - Another Collector. In all places there are cranks who f pick up things they do not need-all sorts of bric-a-brac, stamps, pictures and what not--and they are usually called collectors. Philadelphia has as harmless, white-haired old man who 1 goes all over town searching for hair pins. His eyes are bright and pierc ing, and as he walks up and down the 0 prominent thoroughfares it is safe to a 1 say that hardly a hairpin escapes bis 1 i keen gaze. What becomes of the ' large assortment he picks up, nobody e knows, for, although he has been asked his object several times, he re. t fuses to telL The old man is well dressed, and his appearance indicates I that be is cared for by loving hands.

There Is no doubt that the now almost o universal practice of drinking tea in * the afternoon has created a new human want, and thereby decreased the de pendence of mankind upon external conditions of happiness. It has re moved the race one step further from o the tub of Diogenes and added another a link to that ever-lengthening chain of s use and want with which we are bound. Whether the habit is or is not a physi a cally injurious one, is not worth dis * puting. The question is, upon which, as, indeed, every other question of d dietary, the truth is beyond the power t of the human facilities to determine. I The most careful investigation oftmedi cal opinion yields results of no more 1 significance than the fact that tea e drinking in the afternoon is severely condemned by all doctors who do not indulge in it themselves. Nor is much additional light thrown upon the mat ter by the confident assurances of other medical experts that its mischievous effects may be largely mitigated, if not e wholly neutralized, by eating thin bread and butter. This belief may be held as a "pious opinion," but the phil I osopher will probably argue that to a spoil his dinner for fear of impairing his digestive power, would be to sacri fice the end to the means. And this argument will apply, of course, with a fortiori cogency to a proposal to amend f the 5 o'clock program by inserting the word "beef" before the word "tea." If lunch has been described as an "In suit" to the meal which has preceded ia t, and an "injury" to that which is to follow, this unholy pract'ice of bouil- ý Ilon swilling in the afternoon must de serve to be qualified in still harsher terms. Its reflections upon the ade quacy of lunch may be less outrageous t than those of lunch upon breakfast, but the blow which it aims at dinner will be delivered at closer quarters. Where, moreover, is the line to be drawn? asks a London exchange. If soup In the afternoon, why not fish? Nay, why not "the eggs and the ham, and the raspberry jam" of the vicar's hos pitable teatable in "The Sorcerer?" The door will have been opened, the thin edge of the wedge-at first, no doubt, in the apparently innocent form of "fingers" of dry toast-will have been introduced, and before we are well aware of it we shall find ourselves in- I volved in a riot of muffins and crum pets, or wallowing in the rude plenty of that disastrous meal known to the dar ing spirits who habitually grapple with i it as "high tea." I MONEY MADE BY WOMEN. t F) treles Who VIe with Men In Outwit ting Uncle Sam. Chief Hazen, the head of the Secret l Service of the treasury department, is now in Canada, whither he has gone to extradite the noted woman counter- t feiter, Mrs. Mack. There is no doubt a that she will be convicted and sent to t the penitentiary for her crimes. a Mrs. Mack is not the only woman who I is under the arm of the law for this of tense, for there are at least half a dozen more who have been caught "shoving the queer" during the past twelve b months. Very few women make the bogus money, and almost the only part they play, as a rule, is to pass it. The men make the stuff and the women take it out to shop with, and thus get it into circulation. But if a woman is ones b suspected she is easily caught, because her sphere of action is so much more limited than that of a man. Anna Kelly of San Francisco is about the only woman, except Mrs. Farran, whol makes the money herself. Her method is to imitate the coins of the country. This is done by having an alloy cov ered with silver, and by putting glass and a bit of copper into the composi tion, the weight and metallic ring of the genuine money are admirably imi. tated. All of the pictures of theseC women are in a huge case in the room of the Secret Service division. One weman so decidedly objected to having herself photographed that she was sketched while in court, and the pen aad-ink drawing is now preserved among the other photographs of the collection. As a rule, the women are rough in appearance and illiterate, and C have hard countenances.

It is reported in New York that the application of Mrs. Edith Candee to compel her husband, Edward Candee. the wealthy builder, to pay her ali mony and and counsel fees pending the trial of her suit against him for absolute divorce, has been denied bh Judge Andrews, in supreme court chambers. Jutde Andrews says that. in view of the large property ownee by Mrs. Candee, and the willingness of the husband to support the child ren, but her determination to retain Itheir custody, he cannot see that the application can be granted. Taking into consideratiion the means of both, he does not consider that alimony is necessary to support her while the suit Is pending. There is on both sides money enough for Candee, and the children will not suffer. The I.oet Iiver. A Kansas oracle is authority for saying that suit will be brought in the district court of Shawnee county next week by the hotels of Topeka against the leaders of the late D)emo cratic silver convention. Damages to the extent of many thousands of dollars will be asked, the plaintiffs alleging that they are out that amount by reason of the extensive baking which they did and which spoiled on their hands. The leaders of the convention are held to be liable, hav ing led the hotel keepers into the loss by overestimating the crowd to be present. One hotel enumerates fifty prune pies that were spoiled, another nine dozen boiled eggs, and another fifty pounds of fried liver. The hotel men also say that they advanced money to the leaders on the strength of their promises of a big crowd. Where the speech is corrupted, the mind is also. The Pursuit of Happiness.
