LADY RIDING ASTRIDE.

So far as known horse was for the
first time ridden in public in New York
to-day by lady astride, in Central Park.
The rider was Miss Nettie Littell, young,
pretty, dashing, and of good birth. The
start was made with male escort at the
Fifth avenue entrance to the park, the
young woman riding spirited gelding.
The ride covered ten miles.
Miss Littell bestrode her mount with
ease, rode cleverly, erectly and gracefully
with skill and strength, untiringly, and
withal so dehcately and unaffectedly
among the vast throng in the park, who
noticed the novelty OF her riding, admired
her lady-like carriage.
Miss Littell comes of an old Virginia
family. She wore a velvet cap, or a
broad~brim black felt hat, surmounted
with black ostrich Feather. Her jacket
is cutaway, trimmed with braid a Ia
mihtaire; her waist is of white-hannel and
a tie to match. The skirt is a heavy
double killed, bifurcated one, walking
length, so arranged as to be used for street
wear unnoticed. She wears Knickerbock
ers and high-top boots-a costume light
and comfortable for either riding or walk
ing, and one with which it is impossible to
get caught in the saddle In regard to the
side-saddle Miss Littell says: ut is a
cruelty to both the horse and the woman.
1t Injuries and tires the animal, is liable to
give spinal curvature and other trouble to
women, leads to one sided development
and is certainly ungraceful and unsafe"
The lady will be seen frequently hercaf
ter riding astride, as she does among her
rative Virginia hills. Cincinnati En-.

rapid progress, but through it all he was

sachel found just where it was LETT

Office while DR., Farr was waiting a

great beads of perspiration came out

THEGERMANF FOOD SUPPLY
How Bismarck Has Catered to the Rich
Landlords.

Prince Bismarck will have to bestir him
self. The German stock raiser is being
threatened by the American cattlemen, as
the German swineherd was threatened by
the pork grower of Illinois six years ago,
and tine Government will have to come to
his rescue. Nine hundred American oxen
have been shipped on the hoof from this
country to Mayence, and the Germans find
the beef very good. When Germans be-
gan to eat American pork in large quanti-
ties few years ago, Bismarck was ap-
pealed to by the native farmers, and he
discovered that American pork was full OF
trichina, and got the Reichstag to exclude
ii rs unfit for human food. The poor
people in Germany have, consequently,
been obliged to pay more for their pork
ever since, and have had to reduce their
consumption. tits now in order to discov-
er that American oxen are diseased and
must be kept out.
Bismarck will probably wait while,
however. The wheat crop of Germany is
short this year. In Schleswig- -HOlstein,
Franconia and Swabia the harvests were
good, but every where else-in Prussia, in
Silesia, in Saxony, in Hanover, in Bavaria,
in Wurtemberg and in Baden-they were
considerably below an average. And the
trouble is aggravated by the fact that
Austro. Hungaf, which usualey supplies
any deficit which occurs in the German
food supply, is itself short this year and
will have little if any surplus to export.
Letters from Germany say that the peo-
pie are preparing to subsist on potatoes.
The potato is a fine vegetable containing
about IS per cent. Of water. Unless the
Germans can combine with it some article
of food which contains nitrogen they are
liable to grow thin on strictly potato
diet. The Irish are sometimes forced to
live on potatoes. but they mix them with
milk, which supplies the required nitro
gen.
About these days Germans must be ap-
preciating the wise craftsmanship which
induced the Chancellor to get the duty on
American wheat and flour doubled. 1t is
a grand thing to have man at the head
of affairs who knows how to look after
the interests of the great landed prOprie-
tors.

Senator Reagan's Pucnacity.

Senator Reagan of Texas has returned
from western trip, says Washington let
ter to the New York Tribune. He advan-
ccs some theories about the irrigation of
Arizona and Southern Utah, and predicts
future for those two territories when the
government has appropriated few mil
lions for irrigation that would make North
and South Dakota green with envy. If
any one mildly opposes his views the
Southern senator shows little of the test
iness which he possessed previous to his
hasty migration to Texas a half-century
ago. Those who have heard the story
never disagree with him, for although
Senator Reagan is not in trim he has some
thing for the massiveness and muscle of a
John L. Sullivan. The tale is as follows:
In Kentucky when Reagan was boy
they had big mills, TO which the farmers
around there brought their grain and had
to stand in line waiting their turn for the
grist. The mouth of the hopper was on
the third floor. and the miller stood at one
side to help each one empty his sack. Rea-
gan was waiting his turn one morning
when big, hulking fellow, the bully of
the county, stepped up and said:
81 won't wait for this-youmgster.
Put my wheat In first
The miller hesitated. 1t was against
the rules, but he was afraid of the bully,
and finally reached out to help him to
turn 1t in.
i came first,'' said Reagan stoutly.
''Why didn't you get your wheat in,
then?' sneered the other. Dropping the
sack Reagan made batterins-ram Of his
head, and butted the big fellow clear
across the room to third-story window,
from which, with one push, he sent him
to the ground. Without waiting to see
whether his man was alive OF dead young
Reagan left the mill and made for the al
most unknown republic Of Texas, not
stopping until after he had crossed the
Brazos. He managed to obtain an office
the same year, and he has held one ever
since.

Put Her Foot In It.

A number Of young ladies' attending .
school, not a great distance from Milwau-
Zee, says The Wisconsin, decided to visit
the belfry during recess. They trooped
up stairs, carefully made their way along
a plank which vas laid across the un-
fioored attic, and reached the belfry.
They spent more time there than they had
intended, aud were startled by the ringing
Of the bell. They beat hasty retreat.
One of the girls, large and somewhat
clumsy creature, made a misstep before
she left the attic, and her foot went
crashing through the ceiling.
BY this time most of the pupils in the
room below were seated at their desks.
They were in convulsions of laughter
when the teacher-a gentleman-entered
the room. He could not divine the cause
of their wild merriment neither could he
restrain them. He speedily began to feel
decidedly uncomfortable. Finally he
noticed that their eyes were turned toward
the ceiling, and he. too, looked up.
Dangling from the ceiling he saw what
at first appeared to be a huge stick Of
striped candy, or an animated barber 8
pole. Then the situation dawned upon
him. He could not resist the temptation
to Join in the laughter, and it was some
little time before the blushing and unfor-
tupate girl was exEicated .----

State Forestry Stations.

Some idea of the great work done
through the state forestry station can
be CLEANED from the following observa
tions of the Ellis Review:
Commissioner of Forestry Alien was
in town on Wednesday. He says the
forestry stations at Ogallah and Dodge
City are in fourishing condition. He
has supplied over 1000 people with an
average of 500 trees each, which would
make magnificent total Of 1900, 900
trees. It is also interesting the note
that the stations produce nearly three
times as many trees as last year, and
that for the same amount of land and
labor the Ogallah station produced
nearly twice as much as that at Dodge
City. The forestry stations are a
grand thing for Western Kansas
Osborn County Farmer.
The above is calculated to give a
wrong impression of the work done at
the Dodge City Forestry Station to
persons who are not acquainted with
the facts in the case. The Oeallah
station had the advantage of tract OF
land that had been an old timber claim,
and bad been under cultivation for a
number of years, with trees, some ol
them thirty feet high, on it, while the
Dodge station was commenced on the
raw prairie, and it takes two or three
years cultivation to get the soil in con
dition for tree culture.
The Dodge station sent out nearly
1900, 900 trees during the season OF
1889, but they were sent out with th'
Osallah tag on them, which We subri
was unfair. We believe that with al
equal chancs the Dodge station, undel
its present management, can and vii
make as good showing as any otb'
locality IN the west.
