The body should be balanced exactly in the
middle Of the saddle and far enough back to
grasp the second pommel with the right knee
comfortably while the left one is just spanned
by the third pOmmel or leaning horn.
The rider is now sitting upon that part of
the animal which is the center of motion;
the head erect, turning easily without involy-
ing the body; eyes looking over the horses
head in the direction he Is going; shoulders
well thrown back SO as to expand the chest,
taking care to keep them in line and not to
raise one higher than the other; the small of
the back slightly bent forward, upper part
Of the arms hanging straight down from the
shoulders and held loosely, but close to the
sides; the forearm straight out from the ell
bows; wrists rounded inward and on level
with the elbows, each hand holding rein,
fingers closed, knuckles to the front, thumbs
extended on the ends of the reins and pointed
across the body, hands held five or six inches
apart according to the width of the horses
neck in front of the body
From the knee to the foot the right leg
must he held close to the fore flap of the sad
die, the heel raised and inclined backward
little. The right side of the upper part Of
the right leg, from the knee to the left Joint,
should he turned to its outer side and held
close to the saddle, and the inside of the up.
per part of the left leg should be in contact
with the saddle. The left knee should be
placed just below the third pommel, and the
low part Of the leg should hang straightdown
from the knee and close to the side of the
flap of the saddle, the upper part of the legs
only to leave the saddle at the rising trot
The foot should be placed evenly in the
stirrup as far as the ball, the heel being held
a little lower and pointed toward the shout
ders of the horse. The body should be plant
and accompany the movement of the horse

A Woman's Watch.

The idea that women's watches ON a brace.
let Of leather is something new, as stated by
New York paper the other day, struck Inc
as being funny We have had them for two
years. 1confess that / think it is good idea.
Any idea which will make woman wear q
watch where she will pay it some attention Is
a good one. The majority of women do not
know how to treat watch. They put 1t In
their dresses so the chains will show, and they
seem to think that will regulate their time
pieces. They forget half the time to wind
their watches, and then wonder why they
don't keep the correct time, A fortune awaits
the milliner who will make place in wo-
mans dress where a watch can be carried SO
that when it is taken out the idea will occur
to the wearer to give it proper attention.

think the most repulsivtsfool in all the world
is an old fool
l never could understand wins a woman
should be ashamed about getting old. u is a
sign, il is prima facie evidence, that you
have behaved tolerably well, or you would
not have lived To this time The grandest
thing, l think, is eternity, and that is made
up Of countless years. When the Book of
Books would set forth the attractiveness of
Jesus Christ, it says: His hair was as white
as snow" But when the color goes from the
check, and the luster from the eye, and the
spring from the step, and the gracefulness
from the gait, alasl for those who have built
their time and eternity upon good looks.
But all the passage of years cannot take out
ef5aue's face benignity and kindness, and
compassion, and faith. Culture your heart

Friend TO Avoid.

il business woman, whose face is about as
well known as any In town, but who always
seeks to avoid public recognition, was snugly
ensconced behind her evening paper and Qui-
city perusing it. Suddenly there entered the
female bore, who speedily recognized the
other, and decided to let the passengers know
without further delay. She sprawled over
two or three intervening sufferers and began
observations.
ooh, how do you do, Mrs. A--9" she
asked in a high pitched voice. 81 want to
congratulate you on winning your lawsuit"
II thank you" said the other, quietly.
Ills your health better, Mrs. A-N
eyes, thank you"
"Not so stout as you used to be, Mrs
A"
By this time every man, woman and child
in that part of the Car knew who Mrs A
was, and the lady was pointed out, whispered
about and rendered generally uncomfortable
while the bore smirked and beamed with q
superior smile upon her neighbors. --New

Ner Caller Knew what to Expect.


1t is the fashion of some women to keep
visitors waiting an unconscionable time for
absolutely no reason at all but to satisfy a
caprice or fad of theirs. Heaven knows
where they got the idea, but some of the dear
creatures imagine that it is canon of high
bred etiquette TO let a caller cool his or her
heels in the parlor for half an hour or so
after the servant brings up the card This
impertinence is most often offered by women
to women.
superb young woman, who had high
birth and plenty of money, saucily told girl
in her set recently that she always kept
callers waiting twenty minutes before she
appeared. The girl who received this valu-
able piece of news called upon the golden calf
a few days afterw ward She sent up her card
and the footman returned with the message
that Miss - would be down in few min
utes. The caller took out her watch, and
when seven minutes had expired wrote upon
one of her cards: 81 have been gone just
thirteen minutes
Leaving this card on the table, the young
lady took her departure. Pittsburg Dis

Low he lies who once SO loved you. whom you

One who never turned his back, but marched

Never doubted clouds would break
Never dreamed, though right were worsted wrong
would triumph.
Held we fall to rise, are baf1ed to fight better
Sleep to wake

It Is strange fact that most women ere
niggardly with their stationery. They may
entertain their friends sumptuously, and
wear the costliest raiment. They may even
be extravagant in other respects, but in the
matter of stationery they are absolutely
stingy, and will cross and recross their pages
rather than use another sheet Of note paper.
In affairs of this kind men ere, as a rule

discourtesy and unkindness Of infiicting an
