This is the first authentic case on record of bi cycle highwaywornan. The Creek Girl. A blooming Greek girl is Tuioom mon. The girls' faces that moot strike one are the color of yellow wax, which blazing black eyes light tip as might a devouring flame. There is something in most of the fnces that betrays lia bility to fever. All feeling for beauti ful drapery is extinct. The rich wo men dress iu frightful imitations of French finery; the poor iu sordid patched raiment, too thick and clumsy to admit of graceful folds. On Hun days, however, there is a show of fancy needlework, that, with necklaces of coins, has a pretty effect. The Queen often wears a Greek costume. Now York Tress. An Administration Girl. Although the present administration is distinguished for its many young people among the official families, but oue of all the host of pretty girls has the right to stand in the receiving lino with Mrs. McKinley when she wel comes the public, aud this is Miss Flora Wilson, the only daughter of the Secretary of Agriculture. She is Blender and graceful, aud has exqui sitely dainty coloring, with dark hair aud blue eyes. Her five brothers and her father unite in an effort to make up to her for the loss of her mother, who died a few years ago. All of the Secretary's children have received thoir education at the Iowa Agricul tural College, which, he presided over as President. Summer Fancies In Parasols. There is no question of keeping off the sun by moans of the parasols with which the summer girl is filling her trunks for the coming campaign. Her aim is simply to make her costume as fluffy and highly colored as possible, aud the parasol is decidedly an aid in accomplishing the general effect. One of the most gorgeous of the sea ion is the "sunburst" parasol, which is a mass of elaborate fluting. Theu there is the parasol composed entirely of cUitlon and ruffled from centre to edge. Ouly a shade less elaborate is the design of brocaded Bilk or satin, lined with a contrasting shade, aud decorated with frills of chiffon, bunches of artificial flowers, or now and then a group of ostrich tips. A particularly popular fancy is that the ruorhing parasols shall match the shirt waist with which they are worn. as the summer girl still cliugs to the most comfortable morning costume which she has ever known. Thus the now parasols are made of Cham- bray, linen, muslin aud mull, and are prettily lined with silk of becoming shades. The number of these duinty articles necessary to the summer girl's outlit has not yet been computed. Women In Horticulture. According to the census of 1890 there were 312 commercial greenhouses, or about one in fifteen, owned aud man aged by women. We have a personal acquaintance with several women who are successful retail florists. Other women to our knowledge are making a success of raising carnations and other flowers for tho wholesale trade. These people soon learn that the business of raising and Belling flowers is beset by omen care ami labor that does not come under the head of poetry. And yet nearly all women florists that we have met were led into the business because they first of all loved flowers. It adds to the delight and success of any occu pation il one nas a love tlierefor. lucre is no question that, as a rule, -women have a greater fonduess than men for flowers; why therefore should they not engage in growing and handling them for profit. The rougher work about flower raising, such as the care of greenhouse furnaces, the handling of soil aud manure, and the like, can easily be done by men who work for moderate wages. If women are buo cesbf ul as florists they are equally so as raisers of vegetables aud small fruits, especially strawberries; they direct the rougher work, help to prepare the pro duce for customers, aud perhaps tuke in baud the selling, thus keeping closely to touch with the state of the market. Generally speuking, we think that tlie raising of strawberries near our best markets is further from being overdone than thut of almost any other kind of produce. The consumption is enormous, aud fresh fruit brought quickly from the fields, without a largo distance intervening, always will sell considerably higher thau fruit long from vines thut has been shipped Much of the work of picking and huud ling small fruits is well suited to be done by women.

Grenadine, both plain and fancy, takes high place among summer dress fabrics. Lilacs, white and purple, have taken the place of violets with the flower vendors. The Parisian pompadour is the style of coiffure which necessitates a "rat" to give its proper height. The mushroom bunches of ribbons wired to stand high above the hat crown are deemed essentially chic in summer millinery. Canvas is still very popular and seems stoutly to resist the iuvasiou of double-faced cashmere and mohair wo rivals of canvas now in the field. Benora, the new bright shade of Spanish red, is slightly less vivid than cherry color, but more brilliant than either the geranium or Danish dyes. Gray silks and poplins are trimmed with corselet and collars of yellow satiu; bolero of the gray lined with yellow, oud full vest of white chilfon aud yellow lace. Bilk blouses are made with tight sleeves, bnttoniug from wrist to the scant puff on the shoulders, and small gold, not brass, buttons are lavishly used for trimming. Gray embroidered tulle, orange vol vet, Venetian lace, a cluster of Mermet roses, and a very unique buckle of French brilliants form a lovely model for an evening hat made by Virot. Foulards and all soft silks will be warn during the summer. They are printed in duinty designs and come in soft colors aud in such a variety of patterns that they may serve for any purpose.

Under the suggestive headline, "Ant aud Antidote," the Prndontial Review, of Newark, says: "House keepers in warm climatos or elsowhere, whose provisions are. raided by the snmll but persistent rod ant, may be glad to learn of a very efficient pre ventive. Pieces of ordinary tape are dipped in a little corrosive sublimate, dried, and tied around the bottoms of cake-boxes or the legs of tables or re frigerators, which it is desired to guard. No ant, whether wise or fool ish, will cross such a barrier, aud eat ables or sweets so protected are abso lutely safe. Of courso, care muBt be taken not to put the tape or any boxes so protected within the reach of chil dren, as tho corrosive sublimate on the tape is? a poison." The cure is too dangerous to be risked where there are children. llarreU. They really are the most nseful arti cles iu the household repertoire. Among fifty ways of utilizing them, here ie one: Fasten iu the lower barrcl-hcad securely. Take out the upper one to allow a shelf to be fastened in the mid dle, which should follow the line of barrel, excepting on oue side, where the circle must be squared. When this shelf is securely set iu, fasten the second barrel-head back again, aud tighten all tho hoops. Now saw out a generous-sized door in the centre of the barrel. When it opens, the shelf with its square side should stand across the middle of the opening. Put hinges on the door, and then you have a coin fortuble little pantry for oottnge use, or, if wash-stands are not plenia!, this invention will serve admirably as oue if draped so that the barrel shape alone is visible. A Turkish towel, or, bettor yet. towelliug cut in a circle, fcill cover the barrel-top nicely, and protect the drapery below. Harper's bazar. Now for Tallow Soap. As this is the time of year that many farmer women make soap of tho tallow scraps and rinds of pork that have ao- stimulated through the winter, I would like them to have the benefit of my soap recipe. It is composed of Bix pounds sal soda, three pounds of stone lime and seven pounds clear grease. That is, the grease must bo free of boues and meat; but I have mado it of scraps and riuds by adding a little more thau seven pounds strain ing the eoap, while hot, after it is made. Put the lime and soda in six gallons soft water and let it boil up good, then pour it all into a tub and let set tle over night In the morning pour all the clear liquid back into the ket tle, being careful not to get any of the sediment iu. Now add the grease aud boil until it is about as thick as strained honey. I always try it by cooling a little in a dish. If it be comes solid enough to turn out iu a cake, it is ready to turn back into your tub, but first be sure your tub is perfectly cleaned from the lime and soda. Let stand over night agaiu, where it will not freeze, theu cut out in good sized cakes and put to dry. This soap made from clear mutton tallow is very nice for people lo use who are troubled with cracked or chapped hands, and it makes nice toilet soap by adding some perfumery just before it has boiled enough. This recipe was given to me by a friend several years ago whose father is a physician. Bhe told me that if there was auy of the soap in the house made with mutton tullow, he used to always puta piece in his pocket when he was colled on to attend a child birth, to wash the newborn babe with. It is some trouble to make this eoap, but we have very few good thiugs in this world without a little trouble to get them.

An official Inquiry made by tho Massa chusetts bureau of Htatlstlo of Labor Into the relation of the liquor trafllo to pauper ism, crime and Insanity, baa brought out some interesting facts. As to the Insane, so far as can bo ascertained, seven out of every ten had Intemperate parents, and one out of every four was believed to have been mado Insane by his own Intemperate habits. Of all the paupers of tho Rtnto Institu tions, three out of every four were addicted to the use of liquor, and nearly one-hall had Intemperate parents. Ot all tho ar rests for crime during tho year, two-thirds were for drunkenness. Tnklng Into account all kinds of crimes, in about eight and ono half cases In every ten tho iiitemperate habits of tho offender led, to a condition which Induced the crimo; and, excluding minors, nlooty-slx of every one hundred persons convtotWf crhno were addicted to iiio us. of )qo77r. . . Massachusetts has a local option law, un der which tho cities and towns voto annu ally upon the licensing of saloons. Una branch of tho bureau's Investigation was directed to ascertaining the relative amount of drunkenness In plaoos where tho saloons were closed, and In those where they were open. In tho no license cities and towns tho arrests for drunkenness were only about one-fourth, and for offenses other than for drunkenness, less than half as many per thousand of tho population ns In .Iceiise cities and towns. In tho live cities which were for a part of the year under no license, tho lloonsed months showed nearly three times as many arrests for drunken ness, on the average, as the no license months. These statistics, taken as a whole, seem not only to establish a close connection be tween the liquor traffic and crime, pau perism and insanity, but to show also a con siderable curtailment of these evils when the saloons are closed.
