ride in the ill-ftting habits seen half the time. They must set properly or the best riders will be handicapped and appear at a disadvantage. A child's skirt should not wrinkle over the hips more than a woman's, nor should it ruck up over the right knee, exposing both feet, while the wind inhstes the superhuous folds. Above all things, girl should not lace nor wear her habit bodice tight, as no benefit can possibly be derived from riding with the lungs and ribs compressed.
 Before being trusted on horse, begin ner should have the theory of. its manage ment explained to her; and here is another drawback to infantile equestrianism, as a young mind cannot readily grasp the know ledge. Unyielding hands are the almost invariable result of riding before realizing the delicate manipulation horses mouth requires A light feeling on the curb, and a light touch of the whip, will show how to keep the horse collected, instead of all lowing him to go in slovenly manner.

 "You will hardly credit it, but am telling you the solemn truth when I say sold every drop of that compound in six weeks, using it as syrup in the soda fountain"
 new mineral substance resembling as- phalt has been discovered in Texas which promises to become very useful to the sci entifc and industrial world. It is unaf fected by heat, acid or alkalies, and is said to be the most perfect insulator yet dis covered. It may be used for paint and is perfect covering for wood or iron, resist ing all the influences which destroy ordi- nary paints. As 8 varnish it retains its character under all conditions. It may be rolled into tissue and used for water proof tents, clothing, etc.; it makes leath- CT impervious to water and prevents iron and steel from rusting. Professor Hamil- ton of the Western Electric company finds that wires covered with this substance offer seVen-fold the resistance offered by other wires, and the results of it's use in electrical engineering are likely to be very marked.
 Paper is fighting wood hard in the man ufaeture of boxes, buckets and even pack ing-cases, and so perfect is the manufac- turing process that in many instances nothing but the wonderful difference in weight can afford clew to the presence of paper in the manufacture. Paper packing cases are indestructable, apparently, and the saving they effect in freight is enor- nous. Thousands of dollars are already invested in this comparatively new indus try, and new company with s1, ,25O, ,O00 capital has been organized to introduce paper-boards into other lines. Experi- ments have been made with buggy wagons and other things where lghtness is need ed, and paper foorings in lieu of boards will soon be heard of. It is easy to render the material fre-proof in course of its construction.

Some Suggestions for Young Women
 Who Are Learning.
 Sixteen is the earliest age at which girl should begin to ride, as she is strong enough then to control her mount, has more judgment, is better able to put in- struction into practice, more amenable to reason, and more attentive to what is told her. If the parents impatience will not admit of waiting for this desirable period for tuition, it is their duty to see that & child of more tender years has everything that can facilitate her learning, and assure her such safety as is within their power.
 A common theory is that any old screw, if only quiet, will do for beginner Noth- ing could be more untrue, says Harper's Bazar. The horse for a novice should have short but square and elastic trot, Q good mouth, even disposition, and be well man nered, otherwise the riders progress VIII be greatly impeded. Even if the child is very young, I think 1t is mistake to put her on a pony for her initiatory lessons, as its gaits are so often uneven, interfering with all attempts at regular rising to the trot. It is just as bad to go to the other extreme, as large, long-gsited horse will tire the muscles of the back, and, if com- bined with slugglish action, require twice the exertion needed for free traveller.

POKER PLAYING IN THE ARMY. Large Sums Bet by Soldiers Who Earn
 Small Pay.

Much has been written about the gambling ''indulged in by members of the regular army, but nobody unless he has spent some time with the soldier boys on the western frontier would believe that the stakes were so large, or the games so lasting as they are As m uch as $1 ,000 is sometimes bet on hand, and that by soldiers who have only their pay to gamble with, which is but $12 month at the outside. Natur ally the question arises, how can they bet thousands on hand on a capital of S12a
 An old soldier, who is permanently loca- ted in this city and who spent many years on the frontier, explained the matter to me, says writer in the New York Herald. He said:. 'sOn the first of each month the boys are paid of, and without delay the cards are produced and play is begun. Six players take part in each game, and you will frequently see on pay day whole reg iment divided up into parties of six en- gagged in playing draw poker. The game will be at first for small stakes, and as each man 'goes broke he drops out of the game. Another takes his place, until fin ally the entire wages of the regiment is in the hands of one man at each table. Then the winners at each table make up other games and they play for larger stakes. "Finally perhaps six or seven of the best and luckiest players in the regiment will have all the money, and then they will l begin to play, while :he others, whose mon- ey is lost, will sit by and watch the game. I have known one man in a regiment to have within three days of pay day all the wages of all the men in the regiment. | When there are no more fields to conquer
 in the regiment the moneyed man will take
 a wagon and drive to the nearest town,
 there to 'buck up against faro or some
 equally enticing game. Sometimes they | will break the bank and then there will
 be rejoicing in camp, but in the end the
 professional gambler will get all the mon
 ey. This thing is repeated month aftel | month.
 'sThe soldier has no expenses, the gov.
 ernment supporting him, and he cannot
 spend his money in any other way, so he | plays it away. The playing cards used ars
 an interesting feature of the game. It is
 difficult to procure new cards, and those
 they have are treasured up and we'll looked
 after They are greasy, torn. and gener
 ally disapidated, but each player knowi
 the marked cards, so all have an ever | chance"

THE FAULT OF THE GIRLS,

Why the Young Men Wfn Nor He.
 main al the Summer Resorts.
 The usual complaint of the paucity of men everywhere at the summer resorts is heard. Saratoga never has any young men to speak of-that is, any eligibles-and this season is no exception. Even the ten his tournament, which, it was fondly hoped, would attract some cavalier, did not fulfil expectations, says the New York Times. A good many attended, it is true, but they scampered of, some net having the grace to wait for the ball Newport manages to get and hold the majority of the fashionable bachelors, but there are haps, not desperately fashionable, but who are altogether charming and delightful where are theyl The summer girl is ubi- quitous; the summer man is elusive.
 An observing woman writing from sea- side resort says:
 "The hotels and cottages around here are full. There is as usual painful lack of men, and the dancing is kept up by the children and girls who dance with each other. l asked one girl what she did. Dor she said, why, there's nothing to do but to sew and read and think There seems to be any number of men in the diff ferent yatchs that come sailing up here constantly, but they have no fancy for doffing the comfortable fiannels they liein, and dance and fiirt in hot rooms and crowded piazzas. They say they can do that all winter, and so it is not an infre- quent thing to see two or three girls walk ing in group together, and little farther on a similar group of men.
 ''The hotel and cottage girl seem to have forgotten how to have a good time; the lovely walks are neglected, the principal aim apparently being to air as many differ ent costumes as possible. Men will not be bound down by conventionalities summer and winter; they would like nothing better, I believe, than to have a girl put on a sen sible gown and go with them on a jolly long tramps, but they won't; they are afraid of getting sunburned and freckled, and if they're not, their mothers are"

The absurdity of the German laws against the importation of American pork is plain. American meat is sent to Hol- land and Denmark packed in ice. In those countries the meat is smoked and forward ed to Germany as aDutch" or 'tDanish" meat. Recently more than 10000 pack ages of such Americ an Dutch meats were offered for sale in the markets of the Ger man capital. ..
 When difference is made in the loan market of one and one-half per cent. be- tween notes payable in gold and notes pay able in dollars, it must be plain that we are getting pretty close to the point where we shall meet the visible effects of our re- cent silver legislation.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
 It is encouraging to see the great news papers of the West standing firmly against the tide of unsound financial ideas which appears to be sweeping over that part of the country. For instance, the Chicago Her aid thus talks about the scheme of lending money 2 per cent. on farm lands, which it considers worse than the sub-treasury seheme It would be not less offensive as measure for the benefit of class, and it would be more injurious to the business interests of the country because there would be no limit to the imitation which might take place under the plan. It is proposed that the amount loaned shall be in proportion to the nominal value of the land offered as security. Unless the fiat paper should be discredited from the start and become utterly worth less, the nominal value of the land offered as security would rise as the imitation proceeded, and as the price rose more could be borrowed on the same land, and so on until the hollowness of the whole proceeding could be no longer concealed from the most obtuse. Then would come @ crash like that which has been experi- enced in the Argentine Republic, only on vastly greater scale and with far more tremendously disastrous consequences.
 These are words of wisdom The Her aid, like most of the other great western newspapers. is doing good work for the best interests of the country. We hope and believe that the financial fallacies so popular just now will be unable to stand before the attacks made upon them by the press and all interested in thereal prosper itv of tha couutry
