The Great Sun Dragon.

1t is the belief among both the ignorant
and the educated classes Of China that
eclipses Of the sun are caused by q great
dragon which attempts to devour the CEN
Ter Of eur solar system. An eclipse which
was visible in the Celestial empire occurred
at a time when the people were celebrating
the birthday of the emperor. Now, it is
the custom to celebrate such an event clad
ia the best raiment that can DO afforded;
it is also customary to wear sackcioth and
go into mourning at the time OF an eclipse,
at least until the sun has been rescued
from the great dragon which seeks to de-
vour it. Here. indeed, was dilemma. At
last tho emperor was petitioned. He be-
ing rs superstitious as his people, ordered
his birthday ignored and commanded the
people to so into mourning until the sun
shall be rescued. "-St. Louis Republic.

Ladies Riding sldewaIs.

The introduction Of the style Of riding on
horseback side saddle is attributed To Anna
of Bohemia consort of Richard H. She il
was, according TO Stowe, who originally
showed the women of England how grace
fully aud conveniently they might ride on
horseback sideways. Another historian,
enumerating the new fashions Of Richard
IFS reign, observes:
Likewise noble ladies then used high
heads, and corsets and robes with loo.
trains, and seats On side saddles on thcir
horses, by the example of the respectable
Queen Anpa, daughter Of the king Of Bo-
hernia, who first introduced the custom
into the kingdom; for before women of
every rank rode as men,"
Stothard, in his beautiful illustrative
picture Of Chaucer's Canterbury Pill
grims," appears, according to the above
quoted authorities. 10 have committed an
auachronism in placing the most conspicu-
Gus female character of his fine compost
ton sideways on her steed. That the lady
ought to have been depicted riding the
male fashion might have been inferred,
without any historical research on the sub
ject, from the poets describing her as hay
