The Origin of the Side Saddle.

The Mortified opposers of the movement
for women's riding en- cavalier may be in.
terested in learning that had it not been for
al accident of fashion the gentler sex
would be striding their horses still, and
that the side saddle is not an invention due
to the advanced modesty Of civilization. 1t
appears that one Anna, of Bohemia eldest
daughter of a German emperor and wife Of
an English king, introduced the custom,
not from delicate repulsion to the old
method, but simply because she WAS af
hicted with some sort OF deformity that
rendered it impossible for her to ride upon
the saddle in common use, says the New
York Sun. In those days It was impera-
tive that woman should ride, accordingly
the first side saddle was invented. Royalty
had then, as now, snobbish followers ever
on The alert to adopt fashions honored by
its patronage, and in few months every
woman of place in England possessed a
side saddle and the custom was established.

The Baron's Speech.

In the Hungarian parliamentary session
of lS41 certain Baron Szjel lived in Press
burg with two intimate friends, George
Majlath and Barthel Szemere. One day
the baron became envious of their laurels.
He called Szemere aside and said to him,
my good Szemere, write me speech"
Most willingly, my dear friend; about
what would you like to speak," 1T is all
the same to me, if the speech is only nice
one-wonderfully nice" You will be
satisfied with me-" he answered, and next
day brought the manuscript The baron
memorized the speech and delivered it on
the third day. The chamber re-echoed
with ''vivas" and applause.
At this moment the president rose and
asked, us anybody here to answer this
speechs" The baron looked sneeringly
around. The members all remained 81
lent. Then Bartholomaeus Szemere arose.
He began, Worthy gentlemen, what the
orator said is from beginning to end in
correct" and then he began to show in an
able speech the mistakes the baron had
made. Don't you believe him, gentle
menr' the baron cried angrily, interrupt
ing him suddenly; sit was he himself who
wrote the speech for me-" Every one OF
the fifty-two members rolled in his seat
nearly convulsed with laughter, and then
and there the baron made a vow never
again to speak in public.-San Francisco

Blind Japanese Shampooers.

To this day all towns and villages in ia,
pan have their blind shampooers, who go
about after nightfall with strange must

The higher official grades, which were at
one time opened to the blind, were eagerly
sought after. Those who held them were
provided with special marks of their office,
and during civil wars blind musicians were
frequently employed as spies.
The art of shampooing as practiced by
the Japanese blind takes nine years to

Judge Days Reasons.

The text of the letter in which Hon.
James G. Day. formerly chief justice OF
the Iowa supreme court, announces his
opposition to the maintenance Of the pro-
hibitory law and his purpose to cooperate
In the attempt TO repeal it, is as follows:
Dies MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 5, 1891. w.
A. Park, Esq, Des Moines. Iows.-My
Dear Sir: When the constitutions
amendment was submitted to the people
of this state, earnestly favored it with
my vote and influence.
1t was matter of deep regret TO me
that nv convictions of loyalty 10 the
constitution compelled me to hold that
the amendment had not been adopted in
constitutional manner. The failure Of
the amendment was followed by the en- d.
aciment OF prohibitory law as stringent
as legislative ingenuity could suggest.
For seven years the law has been in
force. have watched its operation in
terestedly and hopefully. In my iudg
ment, it has failed to accomplish its pur-
pose, especisll7 in the large cities. where
the liquor traffic NEST needs restraint and
control. In some of these, il has sup.
pressed the open saloon, but has substi'
tuted for 1t, numerous places, which are
. much greater menace to so5riety and
good order. In others. the open saloon
continues without regulation and with
out restraint. Ihave it upon authority,
which / regard as entirely worthy Of
credit, th at il is a very common occur

they are unable to obtain.
The law, in all the considerable cities
OF the state. has proved, in very large
measure, delusion, doubt whether, in
any OF them, 1t has diminished either
drunkenness, or the consumption of
liquors. 1t has prompted hypocrisy. and
increased intolerance. 1t has called into

no higher object than to fill their pockets.
1t has increased the burdens of taxation

BY familiarizing the citizen with the
violation Of law, it tends to create dis
regard for. and contempt of all law. Ex-
perience furnishes no ground for belief
that 1t will ever promote the sobriety.

the people of large portion of the state.
Ihave been gradually, and not without
many conflicts with myself. driven to the
conclusion that reasonable restrictive

the best mode of regulating the traffic in

ciate upon the legislative ticket. are

Lucretia-

Every age and every country have their
heroines, whose deeds or sutferings are re-
corded in history. and who under the in
6uence Of time, became symbols of typical
feminine virtues. Painters delight in per-
petuatinS the fame of their ideals in char
acter portraits and historical pictures.
Thus it was with Lucretia. the symbol Of
heroic virtue and purity in ancient Rome.
She was the wife of Collatinus. a Roman
noble. Not TO survive the insult which had
been offered to her by Sextus, the son OF
Tarquinius Superbus, she stabbed herself,
after having summoned her father and
husband TO acquaint them with the indig-
nifty she had suffered. The Romans rose
In revolt on the sight Of her lifeleSs body.
and her death was speedily avenged by the
expulsion Of the Tarquins from Rome, the

ment of a consular government Oh. G. SOD.

JEWELS AS MEDICINES.

Popular superstitions Which Once lnhu-

Although popularity supposed to be itself
Q deadly poison, the diamond has from re-
mote ages been credited with the power OF
protecting the wearer from the evil effects
Of other poisons, a reputation which 1t re-
tanned until comparatively recent times
According to Pliny, it also keeps off in
sanity. Amber, too. was supposed to pos
sess the latter virtue. Besides the diamond.
several other stones were supposed to pos
sess medicinal virtues.
The ruby was considered good for de-
rangements of the liver well as for bad
eyes
The sapphire and emerald were also cred
tied with properties which rendered them
capable of influencing ophthalmic disor-
ders. and there is a superstitious belief that
serpents are blinded by looking at the lat
ter stone
The turquoise, although not credited
with either remedial or protective prop
critics so far as disease was concerned, was
nevertheless regarded as kind of sympa-
thetic indicator. the intensity of its color
being supposed to fiuctuate with the health
of the wearer. The latter, moreover. by
virtue of the stone he carried could, it was
said, fall from any height with impunity
The Marquis Of Vilena's fool. however.
was somewhat nearer the truth when he
reversed the popular superstition in his as
sertion that the wearer Of turquoise
might fall from the top Of high tower
and be dashed to pieces without breaking

The opal was looked upon as a thunder
stone, and although many women now ap-
pear to have a strong superstitious preiu-
dice against wearing one, it was in bygone
days held in the highest estimation, for 1t
was supposed to combine the virtues of
several other gems. On the other hand.

semblance to the color of the finger nails
could scarcely have been a nice stone to
wear; for. according to medi@val supersti-
ton, it rendered one particularly suscep-
tible to annoyance from Nightmares and
