RIDING THE PILLION.
Revival Of en- Old and PICTURESQUE
Custom.
The Very Ouintessencs OF Horseback Rid
ing for Ladies-H How Our Forefathers
Rode and Carried Their Wives
and SwcetheartS.

Do any one of our readers recall the
articles printed some time ago on the
much-vexed question as to whether
women should ride astride or not?
Those who did follow that inter-
esting discussion were doubtless divided
into two camps-believers and non-be-
levers in the new school of riding. To
the non-believers the announcement that
pillion riding Has been revived will
prove extremely welcome. For with
pilliOn riding we return TO the very
quintessence of modesty in riding. II
is a mode OF carriage that fiourished
when the mere idea Of woman seated
astride Of horse would have been con-
sidered heathenish and grossly immoral.
In those days husband and wife O.,
brother and sister rode together, as
shown in our sketch. and the effect was
very charming. Pillions are all made
on the same principle-a cushion Gov
cred with buckskin and quilted. with a
handle at the back, which can be put uI
or down, working with a hinge. the
whole having attached cover with large
flaps made Of drab-llerseymere to keep
the lady's dress from the horses
side. The cover is also often

up to the tipping stone," where a young
lady mounted behind him in orthodox
fashion. 1t was picturesque sight and
made ones Imagination wander to by
gone times. The young cart horse had
not stepped many PAGES when he hogan
to plunge and kick, but the young
farmer stuck to him well. The young
lady screamed, but held tight by the
handle of the pillion with her left hand,
while her right clutched the belt round
the young farmers waist. The horse
soon Quoted down and was put through
his paces.'
How it would en,iven the appearance
of Fifth avenue or some Of the paths in
Central Park if our riders were to sally
forth mounted on stout horses with
their daughters snugly bestowed upon

ising customer. Still he was polite, for
the clerks had general instructions to
treat all callers with consideration, and
beside, this particular clerk had read
somewhere of literary men with agricul-
tural habits and of a granger-like ap-
pearance, and it was barely possible that
the man now asking 20 see tho encyclo-
pedia was one of that kind.
1t does not always do to Judge people
by the clothes they wear, nor to form
conclusions from the hayseed which
may endeavor to conceal itself cunning
~ in their hair.
So reasoned this clerk as he displayed
all the twenty-four volumes Of the En-
cyclopedia Nuxvomica to the investiga-
tive rustic and expatiated learnedly on
the dead loads of erudition which had
been consumed in the production Of the
great work.
The farmer looked slowly and care
fully through the volumes, one by one,
and listened to what the voluble clerk
said, but made no reply or gave any in.
dication of q desire to add the set to his
literary possessions. Finally the clerk
asked:
Were you thinking of getting an en-.
cyclopedia?'
80. no." said the farmer; "but like
to oblige people"
Like to oblige people?" exclaimed
the astonished clerk.
Yes. / alters try to oblige people
when I can, but sometimes it's mighty
inconvenient. in the busy season, for in
stance, like it is now"
But if you don't intend to buy an en-
clycopedia," said the clerk, in an injured
tone, why are you wasting your time
and mine by looking ali through those
books?
'.Jist bekase alters try to obiige, sir,
even at some inconvenience to myself"
Il don't see how you are obliging any
body" added the clerk, as he sadly re-
placed the books in their box, and
wondered if he had better call the
police"
Don't you?" asked the granger.
"Well, I'll tell you. You hev a sign in
the winder which says: Ask to see our
Encyclopedia Nuxvomica,' an as alters
try TO oblige / come in an dun as the
sign said, but there be some people as
never appreciate it when you do try
TO oblige en-"
And the farmer walked out. resolving
never to try TO oblige the city people
again.-Pirtsburgh Chronicle.

quilted and bound with ornamental
braid. There is, besides, small foot
board suspended by leather straps. Our
larger sketch, which includes some in
teresting outlines of the pillion. might
give the impression that the old method
OF riding was not altogether safe. But
the seeming contretemps only displays
the result of unfamiliarity with the
pillion. At present Mr.. +. S. Wilson,
an English gentleman. is the only per.
son who has carried the crusade as far
as practical experiment, and, of course,
his labors alone could not make good
pillion riders. 1t will only be when the
idea has been widely taken hold of that
it will be worked out with perfect sue
cess. Writing from Mr.. Wilson's coun-
try place. correspondent says;
Mr.. Wilson was as anxious 20 ex-
hibit as / was to witness pillion riding,
and young cart horse was especially
caught for the service. There were
plenty of girls about ready to mount the
pillion, and a young farmer turned up
who at once volunteered to mount the
horse. The young farmer duly donned

from the enemy's lines to the MiSsiS-

the enemy knew it, and we knew they

we might have been had we been sta

We're the few who had passed three
score years and ten, one physician and

allow us to be uncomfortable. The
doctor disagreed radically with us on

but he took professional and even
friendly interest in such of us as had
more malaria than our regimental sur

BILE. With them is pear-shaped pitcher
for boiling water. and lacquer box
containing choice tea. Among the rich
these appurtenances accompany a brand
of tea so rare that none of it is ever ex-
ported.
The Japanese host scoops out enough
of the precious herb with an ivory
implement shaped like a large tealeaD
to loosely fill the little teapot. He then
pours over it hot, not boiling, water.
and in less than moment the tea
maker begins to pour of a stream Of pale
yellow tea into cups which are never
filled more than halfway up, and they
are at once served to visitors and the
family. 1t is needless to say that the
tea, losing no part of its delicate aroma,
is fragrant and delicate as any concoc-
ton can possibly be. How different
from the coarse, clumsy teamaling of
the American. or rather Of Bridgets
method! OF course, the tea is slowly

to keep the guest awake half the night,

or some other substitute, and the table
cloths had not long before been turned

The women never let us forget that
they were Southerners to the hearts
core. and that we were merely Lin
coins hirelings: still, they were women;
they did not like to see any one appear
careless of dress. and soon there was
not a uniform coat with hang

whether maid, wife or widow, or gray
haired grandmother, bring a needle and
thread and tighten button, while the
wearer stood awkwardly in front of
her, was to realize that Louisiana was
not the only party to the war who was
being ''conciliated."
