THE NEW YORK BELLE.
She is Seen at Her Hest on Horseback
in slae Park.

New York Letter TO Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is on horseback that the belle now rides
most pcturesquely. She discards the plain
black habit and stiff, mannish hat of former
equestrianism. and dresses in green, gray or
brown, while from her head float the feathers of
quite elaborate millinery. Eccentricity abuses
the latitude which fashion permits in riding
haoits OF course, and one girl has attained the
OBJECT which no doubt she sought. considering
her social status. She is magnificent creature
physically, weighing all of ECO pounds without
undue lat. Her horse is CORRESPONDENCE mas
sive. The two combine in an effect like heroic
statuary. except that the poses are rapidly
changed by the beasts spirited cavortings and
the riders gracefully plant adjustment Of her
self to the requirements of her seat
But she has not been content to trust to size
and movement. She goes in for sorrei color of
bright shade. Her hair Is bleached to exactly
match the steed. The first time saw her she
wore jockey cap. under which the reddish hair
was cropped close, in a boyish fashion. and the
tail of the horse was locked. thus making a
harmony of style. On a subsequent occasion.
the girls hair fell in fluffy mass down her back
until it spread on the horses back. save when
speed or wind lifted 1t. 1t was obvious at a
glance that the enormous abundance of hair was
false. and had already seen that her natural
locks were short. The horse presented more
difficult problem: his tail nearly touched the
ground. Was this another horse? Or had his
tall before been braided tight? Neither. The
long tail was false.

Maud s. ut Work,
rom the Cincinnati News-Journal


There was large crowd of admirers OF
horseficsh at Chester Park yesterday. it being
understood that Maud S. would be given q
couple Of trial heats. The great mare appeared
during the afternoon, looking as trim and sleek
as in her younger days. Her elegant chestnut
coat shOae like polished brass, and with her
proud head elevated and her bright eyes of full
size changing from one side to another she
seemed fully to realize, as does the opera queen
when she sweeps down the platform in whrl
of song, that she was the attraction. She came
up easily. with her Old-time driver. Billy Bar,
looking as happy behind her as a boy with new
copper-toeds shoes. and as she rounded into sight
she was heartily applauded. AS Billy nodded
for the turn, and she went away at an appar-
emily effOrtless pace. a hundred watches were
out 1t was the same old easy swinging trot,
and when she finished the mile in 2:27 she again
caught good round of applause. In her sec
ord attempt she extended her beautiful limbs
quite little more in the first halt, but let up
some to the end, completing her mile In 2:24
Her work shows that she is in prime condition.
Bair feels perfectly confident that she can yet
easily lower the record.

How to Treat COrpulency,

From Halls Journal of Health.
Whatever we have written I'm reference to the
means to be employed for reducing obesity has
always contained caution against carving
our remedies to extremes. The golden rule of
moderation in all things applies with espe-
cial force to this subject, since errors in method
OF accomplishing the desired result may involve
the sacrifice of the patient. strict adherence
to the rules published by "Banting" are certain
to reduce cOrpulency. and at the same time to
impair, if not destroy. the health. 1t requires a
wonderful amount Of patience to remain con-
tented while watching the slow processes of
mild but safe remedies for the cure of obesity.
knowing that there is shorter. even if more
dangerous path that might be pursued. But
If the sufferer from cOrpulency Is not satisfied
with slow results, he had better not attempt
the treatment. Deprived of all technical terms
and obscure theories, super-abundance of fat
is produced by eating more than is required for
the legitimate wants of the system and particu-
larly of sugar and starchy substances, as pOta-
toes and wheat bread. 1t has been proved
contrary to the general belief on this subject
that eating fat in moderation does not produce
fat. Professor Ebstein of Goettingen, Germany.
has given this subject thorough scientific in
vestigaton; and he CLAIMS that the treatment of
cOrpulency by regulating the diet hardly in
wolves any great self-denial on the part of
the patient. He allows a rather attractive
bill OF fare, with variety of dishes, but
positively and forever excludes potatoes, and
limits the quantity Of bread For breakfast
he allows one cup Of black tea, without milk or
sugar; about two ounces of white or brown
bread, and plenty OF butter. Dinner-SOup
with bone marrow occasionally, five or six
ounces Of meat, boiled or stewed with fat gravy:
especially fat meat, plenty Of vegetables cab
bage, and. most of all. legumes (peas, beans).
Beets, carrots and turnips are, on account of
the sugar they contain. almost totally excluded;
potatoes entirely. After dinner, little fresh
fruit, but without sugar. Supper-Tea, with
out sugar or milk; one egg or a little fat meat,
or both; or some ham, with it's fat; sausage,
smoked or fresh fish, two ounces of white
bread, with plenty Of butter, and occasionally a
little cheese and a little fresh fruit A persist
ence In this plan for few months, we are as
sured, will reduce cOrpulency; but there must
be no going back to old habits. or the trouble
will return. This bill of fare, or a similar one,
must be maintained during life

From the Merchant Traveller
When a woman has a new pair Of shoes sent

yanks and hauls until she is red in the face and
out Of breath, and then goes stamping and
kicking around, but pulls them on part way
carefully. witches them off again to take last

them on again, looks at them dreainingly, says
they are just right, then takes another look,

Martin Luther.
ON the Nineteenth Century.

From the Nineteenth Century.
Luther was no doubt always man of power
full and unguarded impulse. His words were
like living things, and went straight to their
mark. He did not weigh them like more eau
tious nature, and think of ali their effect But
this Is only to say that he was Luther, and not
another. In order to judge him rightly we have
to take him not merely in one mood but in
many moods. 1t Is not a subtle criticism, how
ever it may seem to be so. to look at his large
nature now on this side and now on that-to
contrast his tenderness with his cOarseness. or
his (alleged) antinomianism with the deep
breathings of his plety-his materasm with
his holiness. No doubt there were these con-
trasts In him. But are they not more or less in
all men, and especially men OF the massive build
of Luther? What is remarkable in him is not
the presence OF such contrasts, but the frank
ness with which he gave expression to them. He
was real and simple to the core. He had
marvellous power of utterance, and like
many men who have this irrepressible
suee for the word or pen his utter
from his heart, but seemed to himself the whole
Inference of his heart-all truth for the time.
But bis heart was larger than he thought and
his mind had other depths than he poured
forth at separate moments And we only
rightly understand him not In this mood or that.
but when we take him as a whole, and recog-
nize that Is one living being who ia thus moved
30 adversely, and that we have to read into the
one Luther all these cords OF feeling The
schlsms, In short, that We recognize in him are
In his words more than in himself He is not
now on the side Of nature and now on the side
Of grace and then of law; but nature and grace
and law all meet In his massive humanity, as he
speaks now with the tongue of the one and
then OF the Other-so perfectly honest in each
mood of thought that he is unconscious, like
child, of inconsistencies of language. He is, In
fact, from nrst to last something Of child in
unconscious impulse, in freedom OF talk, and In
the quick resentful hastiness with which he
deals his blows and emphasizes them without
rejecting, as in the controversy with Erasmus:
how they may fall and injure one truth while
defending another.

Broken or Eracturedl
From Chambers Journal,

from Chambers journal.
els the bone broken, or only fractured, doc
tori" Is an anxious question often asked apro-
pos Of an injured limb. Broken and fractured
are synonymous terms in surgery, my dear
madam-it is always lady who asks this-but
think know what you mean. A fully devel-
oped bone is rarely cracked-nearly always it
snaps in two peces-but the soft cartilaginous
bones of children sometimes sustain what is
called "green-stick fracture" q name which
almost explains Itself, meaning that the bone is
broken through part of its thickness, but not
separated, as happens with the green bough of
a tree. Many people have q totally erroneous
idea, when an arm or leg is badly bruised only,
that it would be better If it were broken. Fright

has been received across the upper arm in the
region of the biceps, that being the only
'muscle" which is honored by general public
recognition. How many people know that what
they call their flesh and the lean part of meat is
nothing but muscles, the pulleys by which every
action of the body is performed3 Common mis-
takes lie in trying to walk OFF, rheumatism,
sprans and other things which should be kept
entirely at rest, and in squeezing collections of
matter which have burst or been laEced with q
view to hasten their healing by the more speedy
emptying of their contents.

across the skeleton Of young man lying under

three years ago, In company with another youth,
found pocketbook containing $40 belonging
to John Mcmillan. who employed Parker. The
boys went to an adjoining village and spent a
considerable portion of the money. Parker's
parents chided him, and next day he left home,
fearing arrest, and was supposed to have left
the country. A portion of an old rope still
dangled from the tree beneath which the body
