are long and full itnd baggy. much like the

a chain guard to keep these from catching

consul emphatically denies the newspaper
reports that any Chinese woman has yet
been guilty of scandalizing her nation by a
public nppcnrance of such a daring and im.
liOilS nature.
No shieels are made in China , nor are they
likely soon to be. The Chinese have no
mechan heal ability. Furthermore , they have
no toads in our sense of the term. Thtougb-
out the empire there arc only tiarrow lilithis

wide enough &veri for a jinricksha and
"vracticahly impossible for wheeling. " These
paths are supposed to be maintained by the
owncrs of the abutting land , but the latter
uaualiy encroach on the road to the farthest
possible hiniit , so as to gain the apace for
cultivation. Only time roads built by the
foreigners immediately around the larger
stticmnents are Passable for wheeling.

The more graceful and lighter American
wheels have the preference over luropeau

Is a duty of 5 ncr cent on imported wheels :
no other country gets a smaller rate. A
wheel selling for 1O0 in American gold at
home brings about $235 in Mexican sliver
dollars at Shanghai , and cheaper wheels
sell in the siiie proportion. Admnirerti of tli

WHISPERINGS OF THE WHEEL
The chairman at the Nebraska division
racing board is working hard to secure the
success of tue 1898 state circuit , which he
hopes to make the best this state has ever
bind , As will be seen by the letter pub-
ltshetl below , the list of towns assigned
dates includes twenty-four of the best hi-
cycle towns in Nebraska , and , while it is
quite likely that sonic of them will iot
neceilt the dates , Chairman Benson hopes
to fill thin places thimls left vacant with other
towns. It is hi intention to arrange for a
special sleeping car in which the racing men
who follow thin circuIt can practically maka
their homes. If this plan succeeds It will
not 1)4) iiecnssary for the IIUU to sleep in
any kind of a bed that a country hotel may
offer them , and they can get their inenla
wherever they choose. This method of living
will be far more economical for thin men
auth will save thiemu the worry and bother
of transferring their baggage to niiii from
hotels. A iipecial baggage car viii also
be arranged for nail both cnn be sIdetracked
at the station where a stop is to be riiade
I and. easily attached to any train , either
fmeigiit or vassencer. lien the party is
ready to heave , Another great convenience
that time -special sleeping car will be is that
where it is necessary for the inca to catch
ft midnight train , if it were not for the
car they would be compelled to 1030 their
sleep until muitinight where with it they may
retire as early as 8 o'clock if they chosse
amid hot be disturbed again until morning ,

There Is considerable talk among the
members of the Omaha Wheel ciub otglving
a protesional yond race some tune this
month and inviting all local professionals
to enter , as wcii as any from out of town
who might care to compete. Omaha hn no

race would mlaw a good BitCt flehti of start-
