Horses in riding schools are trained to

by so many different riders they are, in
fact, more difficult to guide than the
horse of which the rider is the fortunate

the slightest pressure on the reins is
sufficient, and he is spared that torture

apt to intlict, keeping their horses

To ride a trotting horse satisfactorily

overhead, he expected every moment to
be crushed to death.
BY great good fortune two drills lay
within his reach. He seized them and

ing followed Mt the riding academies.
The first thing . novice is taught is
TO mount, which we Will dismiss in 4
few words, rs the process must be ia
milar to most readers. She stands on
the ground, or ON stage; with her
right hand she clasps the pommcl; her
left foot she places in the left hand Of
her escort or teacher, whose right arm
is placed about her waist, or under her
left arm. She rests on her right foot.
At one, two, she rises on the ball of her
foot, at three gives spring which, if
ii is successful, lands her in the saddle.
In the saddle the reins arc put into
both of her hands. and her horse. which
has only SnaiHc, is led with leading
strap around the ring until the rider ae-
quires her seat. She must sit lightly
and erect, shoulders square, and leaning
neither too far front or back The rca-
sons are obvious. Ii she rides too far
forward, an unlucliy stumble would
send her on her head; if she leans too
far back. she loses something in con-
troll OF her horse. Both elegance and
perfect balance demand anupright seat.
Her right leg is thrown around tho
upright pommel, and by lightlr pressing
the horse beneath the pommel assists
her seat. The left leg falls at an angle,
the knee projecting, and the ball of the

A Little Body Reclaimed from the Sea
and Buried by Kind Hands.
We drew the boat up on the sandy
shore, writes New York Sun CORE
spondent, and then walked across the
peninsula, which was here about aquar-
ter of mile wide, to view the trench
dous sea rolling in. There was north
easter blowing, and the ocean as far out
as one could see was boiling and foam
ing. The tide was on the flood, and as
we stood there looking into the raging
surf, with the gale almost finging US
down at times, dark object appeared
in the midst Of the foam. 1t was
whirled and tossed and buffeted for
three or four minutes, and then great
wave brought it in and flung it upon
the wet sands at OUT feet
While the rest of us started back at
the sight, the bronzed-faced old fisher
man dashed forward and gathered it up
and retreeted behind sand-hill. We
followed, and as we gathered about him
he knelt on the sands and removed his
hat. 1t was the body of a child-a lit
tie girl not over four or five years old
No, not the body, but the bones-a
skeleton wrapped in dress and jacket.
There was little more than bones. 1t
had evidently been buried in thessands
for long time. and some change of the
current had cut it out and brought it
ashore.

ton was agitated and with tho usual
result. Nature is pretty apt to look after
her own. and the fact that women in
civilized life ride as they do and persist
in 1t in the tccth OF all tho dreadful
consequences predicted By the reform
ers, is pretty sure proof that it rs not
done without reason. That women in
South America and Japan ride cross sad
die is of but little consequence, they do
so unconsciously; the girl in the panll is
self-conscious and that makes all tho
difference in the world.
AS to the physical consequences one
may be pardoned for drawing somewhat
on personal experiences. At eight years
old | was taught to ride as ducks are
taught to swim, by being placed on a
Canadian pony. From that time until
sixteen l rode usually twice a day, and
there were few methods OF riding, ex-
cept standing on bare back, OF which /
have not had some experience. AS a
child frequently rode twenty miles 2
day, and there are those who will re,
member, without any loss of activity
afterwarl, and without ever having suf-
fered from any of the ills threatened
those who ride as women do.
Here it is not uncommon for parties
to ride to the athletic grounds at Travis
Island, eighteen miles distant, lunch
and return within four hours without
fatigue. The experienced rider knows
how, by change of gait, to give rest to
both herself and horse. After long
level trot tho break into canter is as
resting as would be absolute repose.
Moreover, the aesthetic sense Of Amer
lean women is sufficiently alert to keep
them from riding erosssaadle The
English costume designed for these
daring equestriennes consists in trous-
crs and species OF newmarket. When
mounted the coat divides and covers
each leg. To keep in place are straps
around tho leg. On dismounting the
coat is buttoncd down the front, and
flap conceals the division in the hack
The effect is not attractive. The ac-
Gordon divided skirt is too frivolous
and no moro tempting to the eye. The
only really pretty sort of cross-saddle
costume is one designed for hunting,
with boots, tights ana jaunty coat,
costume which looks as it If might
have been borrowed from the Grand
Duchess at the Casino.

These garments, however, are yielding

with riding boots arc far preferable to
trousers. Tho season has introduced
novelties in riding bodies. The latest
are iacl1et-shaped, and are cut away to
