COMING BMAIiT SPORT. Novelty in Bloyeles That Witt Bs. oomo Popular. laa&lramted In Villas Haw Xaw lolfc Paper t'bailnit Will Da a 'if; Paatura During the Sasa- aaarlii . Paper chasing on bicycles Is a new thing in sport that promises to find lunuy devotees next summer. A sucoes iul and delightful mm for this pur. ) was field in a coun try town not fsr tram New York just beioic the winter weuther made rural v. heeling iropos nlble, and, boxrir.rr un Occident or two, collisions now and then being the ui nttriwtive features of the sport, the en tcvtainiucnt was a line success. The chase started about 11 a. m., the usual hour for a hunt, and the course, laid out by the leaders, was a most cir cuitous one. All who took part, both mcu and women, wen in cycling cos 1 u uie. The women were in the neatest mul most ohic of costume, with skirts just clearing the ground, worn orer : jniickoEiioclccrs, jackets ' worn -atop vests,' which in several case wen of huuting pink, -i. e the brightest of scarlct-rond bat which were distract inffly coquettish and becoming. ,, When the riders passed through a small hamlet en route with their bi cycles "in full gallop," they created I quite a sensation. In their enthusiasm to be in first at the finish, they violated . the town ordinances, if, indeed, th town was possessed of such rules, in I regard to fast riding, and passed I through the place like a whirlwind. One feature worth noting in regard to a paper chase on bicycles those who wish to see, but notto take part In, the hunt, find themselves very much "in j arrears" if they attempt to follow ia t dosr cart, victorias or phaetons. Of cpursc, the mora riders, the great er sport. And if the chase is given by n club it adds to the picturesqueness of t the scene if th rider wear the club ' colors. Violet and white ribbon bodges were worn by the party, nd there were about 00 rider. The party metfor a "hunt" break fast at high noon at the clubhouse. Immediately after the breakfast, two of the best riders, with leather bags filled with bit of paper, acted as the , "hares." They were given a good start, and rushed along the well-made roads, turning this wsy and that, and drop ping bits of paper as they did so. The "hares" seemed to fear a hot pursuit, and, accordingly, ran a difficult course for nearly four miles. When they were out of sight and some distance away the "hound," some 40 in number, with a whipper-in and master of hounds, started after them and had to follow the route mapped out by the bit of paper. They had to go over the same Tout, up hill and down dale, and now and . then a "hound" get fall; no ditches or fences are negotiated naturally in paper chasing on wheels, which takes away something from the danger and also something from the ran sad ex citement. -r The "hare" laid their eoorse to clubhouse, where afternoon tea -was served. In summer a beautiful pladc, -where a bountiful luncheon is spreadi will be an appropriate finish.; About ten minutes later the "hounds", came in, led first by oneof the feminine members df the party and herefcort, the whipper-in and second by tsvomen, one the master of hounds; Miss was a good third. ' ' The gain of about ten minis' mule; by the "hounds" over the "haras" ex hibited a remarkably vpeedy run. The first prize going to the young woman ' who was first in at the finish consisted of a silver bicycle lantern. The second and third prizes a silver bell and whistle were swarded to the next best riders among the women. Titers was a -"booby" prize, which was pre seuted to the last man in at the finish. Taper chasing on bicycles will be come a favorite amusement a riders become more expert, and bicycle meets will become as common ss the eonven tional meets of the hunt club. . It adds to the social aspect of s bi cycle paper chase, when tit culminat ing event is a dance given at club with a supperr.ayffooA,avflWis) and lot cf flowers and favors. If the girls object to dancing in bicycle frarh, - outing gowns may be previously dispatched to the rendezvous, together with sr cbaperon or two. N. Y. World, Tha Masaeaf era View or Basa A telegraph messenger probably tees as much of the other side of human na ture a a doctor. One told the writer of this recently that women never opened a telegram without turnii'g pale, and, when the message was not alarming, they looked disappointed. He delivers about two death messages a day, four birth messages, a great many businew messages, and once in great while a love message that makes him tired to carry it He carried one recently taa young man in town that read: "How ore you to-day, darling?" The answer went promptly back, by the boy and was to this effect: "I am bet ter, my love." He once carried mes sage of death to a colored woman, sod' after reading it her emotions overcame her to such an extent that she caught the messenger in her arms and soundly boxed his ears. Anot her colored wom an refused to open or sign for mes sage, but walked the floor and best her breast, and screamed, supposing It announced a death. When all the neighbors had come in, one more sn turesome than the rest reed the mes sage. It was simply- Mies that tha woman's sister would come up "from Leavenworth that evening to esc her.

Twt nt the mmmg sfj WHAT PAST SKATERS REQUIRE. rkraleal Mssda or Those Who Dealt u Bxsal la Joe Baetnf . Th typical speed skater has a short body, capacious, round cheat, with wall-developed back; his thighs are ! strong and very long, as an also his legs. Hit feet are large and fiat. His weak point are his calves, due to the long, 1st skate to whioh his flattened foot I so closely bound. The large mus cles of sis chest are not exercised, and his arms, held lying idly along his back, are unused except In an occasion al spurt, when they are brought down and swung straight from the shoulder. They say that they catch less wind held that way; and that the position is restful to the tense extensor of the; book. This is, no doubt, true, says Popular Science Monthly, but the re sult is disastrous to symmetrical 'devel opment: 'Tuts type" of figure1 is seen at it beat in such skaters as the Dona hues, McCormick,' the old-time profes sional, who still skates a fast race, al though now 40 year of age, and in Wilson Breen, a professional, who has been a winner of much gold and glory by means of his long legs and power ful thighs. The conclusion that speed skating alone is not a good exercise to develop t well-built, symmetrical man will be patent to anyone who re views the facts. If indulged in it should be, ss done by McCulloch, In conjunc tion with other forms of athletics which bring into action the muscles of the PLANTS THAT GO INTO A TRANCE iwalsra Ma Invanta a. Plan for Arresting Vegetation. A curious exhibit ia made at the Me chanic' fair. -It is nothing more nor less than s display of "mummified" plants. : It requires s label to inform th people that they are dead, says the Boston Transcript, for. the plants ap pear -exactly a if alive and growing. They are not made of wax, or of cloth, but are genuine plants thathave grown in the earth until they have reached a good state of development, when, by their being treated to a certain injec tion, the growth is arrested. Then comes the strange part, for the plants so treated do not droop and die, the leaves remain fresh and bright, and the plant stands erect It is, moreover, Impervious to heat end cold, and noth ing seems able to destroy its strange repose. The most striking part of the exhibit is a collection of large palms used for decorating. These plants are noted for being very tender and sus ceptible to almost every influence. Those on exhibition have been dead for six months, yet not even when the leaves are carefully examined would the fact be suspected. The exhibiit promise to create much interest among visitors to the fair, as the many advantage of having plants thus im pervious to all conditions can be readily seen. The credit of providing the ex hibit belongs to a New Hampshire man, who discovered the process of treating the plants. CHAMPION MEAN MAN. A PHlamj la TtrtlPla That Fsr aWlpaas All Pnvlow Oaas. ' "I located the meanest man in the world s few days ago," said a traveling man, secording to the Washington Star. "I (topped at a small Virginia town, and, the hotel being crowded, had to sleep in the room with another man'. I left s call for an early morn ing train, and when I was awakened found that my roommate had taken a still earlier train. I also discovered that he had taken my trousers, in 'the cocketa. of which were about $30. I complained about it to the hotel and the clerk said the man was a horse buyer, and it would be made all right, so I took the train to s town about 100 mllea. distant. On the train I ex amined the pockets of the trousers I had on and found wallet containing $3,000. I -telegraphed the Teal owner at ones, saying I would return them, which I did, not paying the express charge, a 1 was out nf funds, he hav ing all my money. After two days, during which I wore borrowed trous ers, I received mine 'with express charges unpaid and a C. O. D. bill at tached for W cents he had paid on his own.? I Borrowed the money and got the package, but if there is a prize at. to the discovery of the meanest m (he world, I want-it." ANYBODY CAN AFFORD'A GRAVE Maslas Csawtavr la Which Betting rises Oaa B Bad at Small Coat. A correspondent of the Boston Trav eler describes the queer cemetery of the Mexican city of Guanajuato. There is hardly room in Guanajuato for the living, so hv behooves the people to- exercise rigid economy in Uie disposi tion of her dead. The burial place is on the top of a steep hill, which overlooks the city and consists of area inclosed by what appears from the outside to bo a -high wall, but which discovers iv uelf from within to be a receptacle for bodies, which ore placed in tiers, much as the confines of their native val leys compel them to live. .Enclrnpaft-, ment in the wall is large enoigh to ad mit one coffin, and is rented for $1 per .mouth. . The poor people are.buried is the ground without the formality pf a coffin, though one is usually rented in Widen -the body it conveyed to the grave. As there are not graves enough o go round, whenever a new one is needed s previous tenant must be dis turbed, and this likewise happens When tenant's rent is not promptly paid in advaoe. The body is then removed from, its place in the mausoleum or ex humed, as the esse may be, ' and the bones are thrown into the basement be low;' ' ;.. i. r Veres f s Bird's Ufht.
