The Correct Riding Habit.

From the New York Times
This is the season when riding habits
are in general demand. The waists Of
these habits are very difficult to make,
and it is not prudent to intrust them to
anv but well-known dressmakers. The
position Of the rider and movement Of
the horse necessitates these waists being
wadded and made very differently from
those in use for walking purposes.
The skirts are not made with trains.
English ladies have for some time
past employed much more conven-
lent style than the long skirt, and
French ladies have now also adopt
ed it. This skirt hangs straight
when on horseback, and when standing
on the ground it is very much longer in
front than in the back. The seam on
the right side forms a perfect arch in
which the knee fits. Young ladies al
ways wear the small waists, with a
short basque, forming on the lower
part Of the back the artillery-shaped
coat. 1t is necessary that all around
the inside Of the waist are tongues
fastened to the skirt to keep the waist
in place For Summer wear the ''cos-
tune de Pasha" is generally used. 1t
is of a very strong kind of mohair.
Trousers are indispensable with this
costume. The hats worn continue to be
mems hats of gray felt or silk trimmed
with pauze or lace wells

For Young Men to Remember.

Tie Albany Press urges young men
to remember the following
That clothes don't make the man.
That their fathers ikrre,V more than
they do
That if they once get in debt they
may never get out Of 1t.
That parting their hair in the middle
brings on softening &c the brain.
That ala employer who hears Of a
clerk living in a style a good WAYS
above his salary is very apt 70 show
him the door when he least expects
it.
That they can't reckon on their faith
ers fortune to bring them through life.
Fortunes are slippery things-better
have something besides to fall back on
That girl who decks herself in the
latest things out and parades in the
street while her mother does the family
washing, isn't worth wasting much
love on.
That a fellow who deliberately pro-
poses natrimony to a girl when be
cant support himself, Is either first
class fraud or a fool-unless he marries
for money and becomes her "hired
man"
That if they wish to fall stark mad
in love with girl because she is pretty
they ought to be sure how much pow
der and paint there may be in the ques-
tier, and figure upon it accordingly.
That to deal honorahly with all men
they begin with their washer-woman.
That they viii need something more
substantial than cigars, light kids and a
cane to start housekeeping with.

Beauty in Dress.

MIR. Haweis, in volume entitled
"The Art Of Beauty" makes the follow
ing points with regard to beauty Of
dress:
The reason that an ordinary low
neck with short sleeves looks worse in
black than in any other is because the
hard line round the bust and arms is
too great a contrast to the skin. A low
neck always lessons the height, and Il
dark dress made thus lessons it still
more, and it strikes the artistic eve as
cutting the body in pieces, in this way
If you see fair person dressed in a
low dark dress standing against u
light background some way of, the
effect will be that Of an empty dress
hung up, the face, neck and arms being
scarcely discernible.
.On he other hand. AGAINST 4 dark
and body will disappear. The effect,
common enough, is eXecrably bad. 1t
you must wear a low-baok bodice, let it
be cut square, giving the height Of the
shoulders Cor, better, with the angels
rounded, for corners are very trying,
and have plenty Of white or pale gauze
or thin black net to soften the harsh
line between the skin and dress. While
gauze or lace softens down the black
ness Of the dress at the edge Of the
bodice, and thin black staff has an
equally good effect, as it shades the
whiteness of the skin into the dark
color of the gown. Only under these
conditions does the sudden contrast
enhance, as some persons suppose, and
fairness Of the complexion
''Short women should never wear
double skirts or tunics-they decrease
the height so much-unless, indeed,
the tunic is very short and the skirt
very long. So, alas do large, sprawling
patterns used for trimming let these
be left to women tail enough to carry
them off Neither let a very little
woman wear her hair half way down her
back; let her lift it clean up as high as
possible.
Large feet should never be cased in
kid-least of all, white kid slippers
for kid reveals so clearly the form and
movements Of the feet, and stretches so
easily that few feet have a chance in
them.
"Those who are very stout should
wear nothing but black those who are
very thin should put a little padding IN
their gowns and neither should be in
the least accoller. Perpendicular strips
in dresses give height and increase full
ness, and are therefore particularly
suited to very slight, small people, and
particularly untitled for stout figures.

that where combination is possible, compe-
tition is impossible Witness the pooling

/ fields of the West TO the seaboard. SO far
as the earnings on that traffic are concerned,

Here are all the conditions OF competition

where combination can not be maintained
and rates are, therefore, reduced at competi
tive points, the abatement is sure to be
restricted to those points, and corresponding
additions are made at other points more
than compensating all concessions In this
there Is an alarming power of discrlmina-
ton. Citizens of one locality are compelled
to pay for the support of industries in
another locality, equally favored by nature
and artihciaily aided by power that should
distribute its benefits with impartial regard
for all concerned. 1t is the power to make
or unmake, TO tear down or to build up, an
inequ ality abhorreut 10 active enterprise,
and at variance with the fundamental prin-
ciples of free government.

inherent in our numbers. Direct this

reflect the will of the people and all their |
interests rather than of corpora tions. Sc
cure in these bodies due representation of |

A Novel Wedding,
From the Austin (Tex.) Statesman

From the Austin (IeX-) Statesman.
A few days ago, up on the Colorado,
couple bent on marriage procured a license
and set out with one or two friends to look
up parson. They reached the river, but
alas ! the would>be bride could not cross.
They were in a pickle. The only parson
for weary miles was just across the river,
while visions firate parents with double
harreled shot-guns formed very long and
troublesome procession through the minds
of the two lovers. The weather was cold,
the river was up and what could they do?
One of the escorts suggested that he would
swim the river and see, if possible, the par
son, who undoubtedly would fix up plan
to tie the nuptial knot. He did so, found
the preacher and soon had him down on the
river bank. The water was cold and deep,
and he refused point blank to cross over, to
the very great distress of the young couple
on the other side. Necessity is not only the
mother of inventions, but is the mother of
expedients The parson concluded to mar
nv the couple across the river and they
Joined hands and took their stand near the
waters edge, while the preacher, on the
opposite bank, with stentorian voice pro-
nounced the marriage service and declared
them man and wife.
