The Stirrup Straps.

From the Baltimore News.
Zone of the most important things to impress
upon man who is anxious to become prof.
cient in the art of horseback riding" said a
veteran householder whose superior as a
rider does not exist in the state, sis to convince
him that the length of the strip straps is not
of any particular moment. II you succeed
in doing that you will have removed an OBJ
stacle which has turned many a man from
equestrian exercise.
This appears to be trifing matter, but
know a great many young men whose ambition
to become finished riders was quenched and
their practice of riding relinquished on ac-
count of this seemingly unimportant thing
A young man with whom / am well ac-
quainted, had an ardent longing to become
a horseman, and interested myself in making
him one. On his return after his first trip he
told me that he had changed his stirrup straps
six times and wanted to know what was the
correct length for them. / told him that de-
pended entirely upon the rider, some preferring
a long and Others a short strap. Just before
mounting for his next trip / arranged the
straps and told him that he could use himself
to that length which would suit him exactly
When he came back the straps were consider
ably longer, and he admitted that he had al
tered them three times.
I'm answer to my question why he did il. he
said that the first rider he met was sitting very
comfortably on his horse, but his straps were
much longer than his own. He dismounted
and heightened his. Next he saw a young
man sitting on his horse as quietly if he
were in a chair, and he noticed that his straps
were very short. He again changed. and before
returning concluded that a much longer
strap than / had given him was neces-
sary. repeated what had told him at first,
that the length of the stirrup straps was not
important but could not induce him to take
my words to heart. That young man continued
his practice for nearly one year, and then gave
up in disgust because he could not adjust his
stirrup-straps to his satisfaction, and the worry
of trying to get them right finally tired him Of
riding as a recreation"s

Things One Would Rather Not See.

From the Christian Union
1t was at the theater. The play, the New
Magdalen, with Clara Morris as Mercy Mer-
rack. In one of the boxes were two ladies and
a gentleman. and little girl about five years
old. The child was as dainty and graceful as a
fairy. She few from one to the other in the
box. from place to place, like butterfly in a
garden. The curtain rose. and the tiny mite
sat in a chair spellbound. The scene is a room
in an old mill, occupied by two French officers;
the close of the act is the sudden assault of the
German forces, an English woman killed
by the explosion of a she'll There is a
shrek from the lower box, and the baby
is frightened pale, dazed bit of humanity
lying in the gentleman's arms, while
both ladies are smothering giggles in
dainty handkerchiefs. Before the curtain
rises on the second act, the little girl has re-
covered. Her gloves have been removed. and
there is a flash of diamonds from each hand. A
couple of gentlemen in the orchestra chairs are
attracted by the child. She catches their
glances, and buries her face in her hands peep
ing out, showing blushing. roguish face. She
plays peek-a-boo over the boxes, and in the
most innocent ways shows her enjoyment of
the attention she is attracting. The rising of
the curtain was the signal for silence There
sat that mite with eyes fixed on the stage
through every act of the nerve-exhausting
play. The curtain fell at As, and the baby,
completely exhausted, struggled into her coat
unaided. dragged on her little hat and sat down
to await the movements of the people who had
given her less care and attention than is usually
bestowed on a favorite kitten.

Justice on the lee side of the big justice, you

ALEXANDRIA BANKs.-The recent decision of
the court Of appeals holding the directors of
the Farmers and Mechanics savings bank per-
sonally liable as insurers of businesslike
care Of the bank deposits, will probably lead to
more care hereafter in the management of
savings banks in this commonwealth. The in
itative in this line OF judicial remedy was first
taken by Judge Hughes of the United States
court, in the case Of the Peoples savings bank
but the basis there laid down is capable of
wide application. Only two bank failures be-
side that OF the savings bank ever occurred
in Alexandria. The Mechanics bank and the
Bank of Alexandria both failed many years
ago, but all the other banks established in Al
elandria have proven solvent. Even the banks
which were in business here at the beginning
Of the war weathered the storm and paid all
their debts.
