Tho Why In NInnni.

The most graceful way for u lady TO
reach the saddle and the one that is
taught in the best riding schools, is by
the assistance of Il gentleman. The
riders reputation will not be complete
until she has learned this method of
mounting, which, when accomplished
easily and gracefully, is delightful TO
witness. In il the rider will have three
distinct points of support, namely,
the shoulder of the gentleman, the
united palms of his hands and her
hold upon the pommel. The strrup
having been placed across the shield Of
the saddle in front Of the pommols, the
lady, holding the reinS and the whip,
with its point down, I'm her right hand
which must rest upon the second POM
mel--should stand with her right side
toward the horses left, about four or
five inches from il, her left shoulder
being turned slightly back. Then, talk
ing firm hold upon the second pommel
with her right hand she should with
the loft hand lift her riding-sliirt enough
to enable her to place her left foot
fairly and squarcly into the gentle
mans palms, which should be clasped
firmly together. This done, She
should drop the skirt, place her
,oit nnd upon his right shoulder, bend
her knee and give the word "reaIy," or
n signal, and mt once spring from her
right foot up and u little toward the
horse. The gentleman, Mt the same mo-
ment, must raise his hands and move
them toward the horse. The lady must.
when rising, prcss or bear lightly on his
shoulder ana also keep IA firm hold on the
second pommel, which sho must nvt re-
linQuish until she is seated. The gentle
man should then remove the stirrup
from the front part of the saddle, while
the lady transfers tho reins To her LETT
hand, passes her right knee over the
second pommcl and her left under the
third. She will then be ready to have
her foot placed in the stirrup.-j Amori-
can ilorsewoman.

Man, according to Mr.. J. w. Knowles,
must have taken up his residence in
Ireland at very early stage in the
history of the world. Mr. Knowles
has discovered flintS at Lane and other
places on the northeast coast of that
county, some of which, he believes,
show evident traces of human work
manship. One large Clipped nipple
ment was found in what appeared to be
true undisturbed bowlder clay. There
are other tools which Mr.. Knowles has
in his possession which seem to indi-
cate that man had lived in Ireland long
before the paleolithic period-during,
in fact, the glacial epoch.

A Paralytic's Sudden Recovery.

An Italian cripple, while on his way
to Virginia City. New, was cured Of his
lntirmity miraculously while at Cor
don's ranch, about six miles north of
the town. On Tuesday evening" stout
burly-looking fellow, wheeling a bar
row containing an apparently helpless
cripple, made his appearance at Cor
DON house and solicited aims for
himself and the invalid, who he said
he was taking to the hospital in
Virginia City to be treated for paraly-
SIS OF the lower extremities. Mr. Cor
don provided them with food and sleep
ing accommodations. But it seems
they quarrelled during the night (prob-
ably over the division of previous prof
Its), and the working partner decamp-
ed, leaving the cripple to shift for him
self.
In the morning Mr.. Gordon, moved
to pity by the fellows helpless state,
sent two men to wheel him to the road,
expecting 4 team to pass that way
which would take him 10 the CITY. A
Spanish bull of an inquiring DISPOSE
ton which happened to be grazing in a
field they were compelled to cross, de-

the barrow and made furious charge
at the cortege.
The men wheeling the cripple de-
c!lned the interview on general princi-
pies and dropped the barrow, leaving
the cripple to take care of himself
which he did. He sprang to his feet
like grasshopper and lit out across
the field like jack rabbit with nine
dogs after it. He was the first man
over the fence, and the last seen of that
paralytic was his coat tail protruding
through small cloud of dust. That
he was most thoroughly cured of his
distressing infirmity is inferred from
the fact that he never returned for his
barrow

VanderbiIt's TreaSure-VauIt.

stood the other day in the vault of
the formidable fortress of iron and
masonry on Forty-second street, where
last year the richest nabob in the world
locked up his $200,000,0 900 in stocks,
bonds and other securities. 1t is one
of the most redoubtable works of de-
Tense on the American continent,
though you may not be entirely GER
tain of that by surveying the building
from the outside. Its foundations were
blasted out of the rock; the front wall
IS five feet in thickness, and the side
nd rear walls are three feet, the ma
teriaIs used being pressed brick with
brown-stOne trimmings. The beams,
glrderS and main pillars are iron, in
cased in fireprOOf material. The doors,
WindOw-frames, and minor partitions
are iron, marble, and glass. No wood
is to be found in the structure. The
great vault is 36x42 feet, of wrought
iron, steel, and Franklinite iron, is i'm
posing in strength and proportions,
and is situated on the ground floor.
It's four outer doors weigh 5000 each,
and have every effective and known
Improvement in defensive devices. A
massive wall of masonry surrounds the
iron work. The vault, which is burg
lar, fire, and water proof, constitutes a
distinct building in itself. The armed
watchmen who guard the building day
and night are under the strictest disci-
pline, their hourly movements being
recorded by IN electric clock connect
ing with various points on each'floor of
the structure, and there are also wires
running to police headquarters and the
office OF the district telegraph. In one
corner of this great vault, behind heavy
iron bars. are the heavier iron doors of

Vanderbilt, then worth" 5000, 900, 900,
put the larger part OF his possessions
in the vault. He could not, perhaps,
put more than 5000, 900 under
guard here at that time, but he has
added over $12, 100000 to his fortune
within the year, though it has been a
poor year. Thus rapidly does the stu
pendOus volume of his unparalleled
pile enlarge. Nothing like such growth
of any mans wealth was ever before
known in the world. Every year, in
the nature of things, the growth in
creases, so that the estimate Of the best
informed men is that by the year 1890
he will be able to pile up not less than

Clothing Oftihe Sexes.

I agree that the tax of carrying
clothes from the waist is utterly unjusti-
fable, and the parts that should bear
the burden are the shoulders and none
other, says DR.. Richardson in london
Truth. In this regard women ought to
be placed under just the same favor
able conditions for movement of the
body as men, and the greatest emanci-
patton that woman will ever have
achieved will have arrived when she
has discovered and carried out this
practical improvement.
Anyone who will for moment think
candidly must admit that the dress Of
men, however bad it may be in taste,
or in whatever bad taste it may have
been conceived, is, in respect to
health, infinitely superior to that OF
women. In the dress of the man
every part of the body is equally coy
cred. The middle of the body is not
enveloped in number of close layers,
while the lower limbs are left without
close clothing altogether; the center of
the body is not strained with d weight
which almost drags down the lower
limbs and back; the chest is not expos
ed to every wind that blows, and the
feet are not bewildered with heavy gar
ments which they have to kick forward
or drag from behind with every advan-
cling step. The body is clothed equal
", and the clothing is borne by the
shoulders; it gives free motion to
breathing; it gives freedom of motion
to the circulation; it makes no undue
pressure on the digestive organs; it
leaves the limbs free; it is easily put on
and of; and it allows Of ready change
in vicisSitudes Of weather.
1t is told of the late eminent surgeon,
Mr. Cline, the teacher of Sir Ashley
Cooper, that when he was consulted by
q lady on the question how she should
prevent 4 girl from growing up missha-
pen, he replied: Let her have no stays
and let her run about like the bows"
[ gladly re-echo this wise advice of the
great surgeon; and l would venture to
add to it another suggestion. L would
say to the mothers Of England, let
your girls dress like your boys; make
no difference whatever in respect to
them-giye them knickerbockers, if
you like-With these exceptions. that
the undergarments be of 81 little lighter
material, and that they be supplement-
ed by an outer gown OF robe which

In The BridaI-Path.

They ride, they ride with slackened rein,
Facing the sinking sum-
And he is telling her over again
The tale that never is done
The tale that's old as the bending blue,
And as old as the singing sea-
And it never has happened that one of two
MarYelod what it could tie.
1t never has happened that one OF two,
Blithe boy, glad girl, together
Who have felt that to love was enough to do
In the sweet and the sunny weather.
But have found right words for the song of
birds
In the greenery overhead;
For to build the nest in The spring is best,
And It's best in the spring to wed.
oh, he rides at her bride-rein,
And he bends him to her ear,
With the musical tones of the old refrain
That ladies delight to hear.
And his words were pleasant as rain that pat
tiers
Low on the laughing leaves,
And kind as the CHEEKY sun that flatters
The gold of harvest sheaYcs.
And his hand is on her bridle-rein,
And his look is on her check
lie need not tell her over again
OF the guerdon that he would seek
But oh, the telling! It's like the smelling
Of the mignOnette and the rose;
For no matter how long you sing loves song,
You can never come to its close!

Almost as Wise as BaIaam's.

A mule story is told by Dr. William
a. Hammond. While stationed at Fort
Webster. in what is now Arizona, he
started down the canon on very fine
and large mule. he beast stopped
abruptly, and signifed that he would
not bulge step. Spurs were dug into
his TANKS to no purpose. There he
stood as firm as q rock. Hammond
pulled him around and galIoped back
to the fort. The next morning it was
ascertained that at a point scarcely q
hundred yards in advance of where the
mule had gained his victory some Apa-
che Indians had ambushed the road,
and, but for the brute's keen nose and
ears, and firmness in resisting an obsti-
nate man, short work would have been
made of them both.

Daniel Webster and the Presidency.

Few people are aware how near Dan
lei Webster came to the presidency on
two separate occasions. Had he not
twice rejected Mr.. Weeds suggestions.
he would, without q doubt, have reach
ed the summit of his political ambition.
In the spring of 1889 Mr.. Weed went
to Washington, and called Mr. Web
ster into the clOak-room of the capitol.
81 think [ shall be the whig candi-
date" Mr.. Webster said. Mr. Weed
expressed doubt. who then will be?"
asked the senator. ut looks to me
like Harrison, said Mr.. Weed. Mr..
Webster declared that Harrison stood
no chance. "You are misinformed,
he said. 1.-The party will choose a man
with longer civil experience, who is bet
ter adapted to the place" 1.-The ques-
ton is" said Mr.. Weed, ''who will
pool the most votes?'' ''Weu," said
Mr.. Webster, every well; but what
does this mean? You are going to
choose a Scott delegation in New
York" That. Mr.. Weed explained,
was to keep New York away from Mr..
Clay. Then he went on: ''You do not
see me here to argue about that. What
l came for and what [ want is for you
to be willing to accept the support of
New York for the vice presidency in
case my prediction about General Har-
rison is verified" As Mr.. Webster
would not listen to this, Mr.. Weeds
thoughts turned on Mr.. Clayton, or Del
aware, as candidate for vice presi-
dent, and Mr.. Clayton would have been
nominated had not his name been with
drawn at the last moment. When the
convention was about to be held, and
Mr.. Webster's friends saw that he stood
no chance for the place, they were-free
to support Gen. Harrison or Mr.. Clay.
Two years later, when Gen. Harrison
was dead and Mr.. Tyler was president,
Mr.. Webster, as secretary of state I'M
der the late vice president, had album
dant leisure to reflect upon his CONVEX
sation in the cloak-room at the capitol.

DR.. w. J. Beecher, of Auburn Theo-
logical Seminary, tells his students
that when he began reading religious
newspapers there were plenty of lead
ers of religious thought who were
strenuously affirming that, unless the
earth and skies were fitted up in their
present shape in the space of IA hours
by the clock, the Bible was lie, and
all religion was fraud. To-day"
he says, NEARLY every one is convinced
that the process of bringing our sys-
tenn into being lasted through long
periods OF time, and that this view is
entirely consistent with the Bible and
with all sacred truths
