Have Girls Got Any souls9

Have GlrlS tot ANY SOulSE
We do not know as there is any law to
compel girls to act differently about
horseback riding, but sometimes it seems
as though they took advantage of their
young male escorts; 1t is a well known
fact that girl will not ride on horse
back in public unless she has become an
accomplished horsewoman. She goes on
sit horse beautifully, and has got nerve
enough to snatch the under jaw off q
horse that tries to do what she don't
want him to. And when she has got un-
limited confidence in herself, then she
will ride anywhere, and don't care who
sees her, and she looks so Independent
and wide awake, and jolly, that you can
not help admiring her, though you are
half blind. On the contrary, the aver
age young man thinks he is q horse
man, whether he has been on horse
since he rode old "Doll'' to plow corn
when he was ten years old or not. And
the girls, bless them, often accept the
escort of these boys who think they
can ride, seemingly just to see the starch
taken out of them. A few weeks ago a
party was riding up the Whitewish bay
road on horseback at good round gal
lop. There was girl and young man.
The girl sat on her horse like a queen,
and she seemed to let her charger out
just enough to keep neck ahead of the
young man. And he was bound to keep
up if it killed him. He sat on his
horse like clothespin, and the horse
was a hard rider. The poor young man
looked as though he wished he was dead.
Every time his horses forefeet c,me

though the young mans legs were
longer, and that he would have to let out
his stirrup straps. He held the reins in
his right hand, held on to the pommel of
the saddle with his left hand, to keep
from breaking in. two, his trowsers
worked up to his knees, leaving his
drawer tied around his ankles with
strings, and his low shoes almost
dropped off. The strings of one draw
ers leg came united and the bare leg
began to show, and he looked implor-
ingly in the ear of the girl ahead of him
as much as to Say, For heavens
sake, hold up a little" But she
was just enjoying herself, and did not
seem to realize that she was wearing out
young man that would be an ornament
to society anywhere except on hard
riding horse. On they went, until the
young man perspired like water cooler,
while she was cool as zinc, and appar
emily as unconscious of the torture she
was inficting on her escort as possible,
though the twinkle in her eye said as
plainly as could be, ''This young man
has been telling me for over a year that
he was a splendid horseman, and am
going to make him take it back if have
to carry him home in a market basket
His necktie comes united, his watch
jumps out of his pocket and hangs dang
ling on the saddle, his eyes become
'ssot, and fearing that his clothes will
all be shook off, ne gasps, Elizabeth

She pulls up her charger with her little
finger, and looks at her escort as though
he was interfering with her enjoyment by
stopping, and he smiles as though he
was sea sick and says it is 'ssuch fun
titiously to get his trowsers to go down
by his sshoes.-Pecks Sun.
ORGANIZED EMIGRATIoN.-Oneo of Eng
lands leading men, the Hon. Thomas
Hughes of London, has given practical
attention to this subject, having accepted
q position as superintendent of an ex-
tensive organization of New England
capitalists whose.purpose is to plant
large colony upon suitable and ample
tract of land in East Tennessee, in which
region there is an abundance of rich soil,
and whose inhabitants enjoy one of the
finest climates known in the world. We
may properly say that organized emigra-
ton is the only true method for peopling
new territory. Persons in the Eastern
or Central States should not go by
families and isolate themselves and
shut themselves off from all
pleasant social privileges and enjoy
ments, but should band together by
hundreds, selecting of the right sort as
their new companions and neighbors,
such as relatives and personal friends
and then purchase large tracts at prices
greatly reduced from those single in
dividual would be forced to pay for a
single tract, and divide the tract among
tho colonists according to the Investment
of each. Then a village could be built
at once, from which avenues lined with
farms might radiate in all directions,
and the church, the school house, shops,
etc., be erected at once Springfield

MARBLED BEEF.-Americans have sue
ceeded In producing beef suhclently 1at
to meet the demands of any country.
Unfortunately, however, for the quality
of the beef, the fat and lean are not well
distributed. The fat is in huge masses
and is useless as human food. Speci-
mems of finely marbled beef are rarely
found in this country. Undoubtedly
our method of feeding beef cattle causes
the absence of "the streak Of fat and
streak of lean" that are desirable. Our
animals are for the most part fattened on
corn, which produces a large amount of
hard tallow that is deposited in masses
outside the flesh. The best marble beef
is produced by cattle that feed on rich,
tender grasses. Tile best beef known
in a London market comes from
the mountainous regions of Scotland
and Ireland, where the cattle have
little or no grain. It was at one time
thought that the breed of the cattle
raised in these localities was the cause
of the marbled appearance and the prime
flavor of the meat It seems now to be
settled that the superiority of this beef
is due to the peculiar feed of the animals.
Corn produces an abundance of fat, but
it is not fat of the right kind and it is
not deposited in the right places It is
likely that we have made too much use
of corn in the production, not only OF
