Ladies' Riding sideways.

The Introduction of the style of riding on
horseback side saddle is attributed to Anna
of Bohemia, consort of Richard H. She it
was, according to Stowe, who originally
showed the women of England how grace
fully and 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 long
trains, and seats on side saddles on their
horses, by the example of the respectable
Queen Anna daughter of the king of Bo-
hemia, 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, to have committed an
anachronism 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 posts describing her as hav
ing on her feet "a pair of spurres sharpe

THE MANIAC, THE CRIMINAL AND TIKI

There was gentleman i'm u rail car who
saw in that same car three passengers of
very different Circumstances The first
was a maniac. He was carefully guarded
by his attendants His mind, ike a ship
dismasted, was beating against a dark,
desolate coast. from which no help could
come. The train stopped, aud the man
was taken out into the asylum to waste
away, perhaps, through years of gloom.
The second passenger was culprit. The
outraged law had seized on him. As the
cars iolted the chains ratified. On his face
were crime, depravity and despair. The
train halted and he was taken out TO the
penitentiary, to which he had been con
demned. There was the third passenger,
under far different circumstances. She
was bride. Every hour was gay as a
marriage bell Life gittered and beckoned
Her companion was taking her to his fla

man was there to welcome her to her new
home, and his White locks showed down
upon her as be sealed his word with fa

To Voters.

In view of the fact, that on the
End dav of June 1891, the voters
of Adair County Mo-, are to de-
termine whether or not they will
authorize the county court of said
county, to issue bonds, to an
amount not exceed to fifty thousand
dollars for the purpose of build
ing a Court House apd Jail.
And whereas there seems to be
some misunderstanding on the
part of the voters of said county
as to where the site of said Court
House shall be. Therefore we
the Judges of said County Court
desire to say that by the provis-
ions of section 1923 e. 1924 Revis-
ed Statutes of Missouri 1889 that
the proper site for said Court
House is in the public square in
the city of Kirksville, and II
the Bonds are voted the Court
House will be erected in the Pub.
lie square Of the said city.

building the new court house. |
have talked with many voters
about it. They are all willing to
vote the $4,000, and l have
found none to object. Some think
the amount asked for too much,
but are perfectly willing to vote
the $4,000. But they say this: If
we have to foot the bill, we must
h.ve the privilege of locating it, if
not, we shall vote it down. So say L.
This is perfectly fair. L am not

What FOR May and June.

All who studied our "key to the
planetary equinoxes" will recall
our special comment on thu charac-
teristics of the Mars disturbance.
They were to the effect that what
ever meteorologic state or condi.
ton exists at the entrance of such
periods, that state is likely to be
prolonged by the Mars equinox.
The 4th of May being the day
when Mars passes the center of
his period, and general precipita-
tions having occurred about the
time of this writing, April 18th,
indicate to our mind that ample
rains will continue, perhaps over
much as we said i'll a late number,
up to and into June. The effect of
Mars-or what may reasonably be
expected to result from his pres
ent perturbation through May
will be indicated by the phenome-
ma which will happen during the
first storm period iu May-from
the first to sixth. Whatever hap
pens at that time is likely to be
the ruling characteristics for much
of the month. If it should be
much rain-snd Indications seem
to point that way-generally a we.
month will most likely follow4
And by the time Mars shall have
lost his grip on the machine, the
approaching equinox of Venus,
which is central on June l7th
will begin to be felt. So that at
least a sufficiency, if not a surfeit
of moisture may be looked for
until past the solstice storms in
June. But after that time we
counsel caution. Take all possi-
BILE advantage of such Eprobabili-
ties. Make the best uses of rains
up to the middle of June, and
prepare for a scarcity of the same
for the remainder OF the season.
Such are our convictions Of the
prospects in store for us in the
months Immediately before US,
and we offer them in this timely
way, praying, if they should prove
true, that all our readers may
profit by them. See that your
ponds aud cisterns are all i'll or
der. A thousand things will sug-
gest themselves to the practical
ly inclined.-Rev. [. r. Hicks in
Word and Works.

THE COURT HOUSE.

The decision of the County
Court, that the court house will be
erected iu the public square, it
the bonds are voted, has aroused
M int, rest in the matter that leads
T. earnest discussion at every
street corner. OF course there are
some who Oh, ct to the square as
site for the building, aud there
would probably be objections, real
or i'm agiusry, to any site that
could be mentioned.
While it is true that there are
o jections TO the square, and to
some they are serious, they should
n, It operate to prevent the bonds
heNng issued. for we need court
bou,se and need it badly Beside
the public square Is the only site
owned by the county, and the
count, does not feel called upon
TO donate the only site it owns te
the city OF Kirksville and be taxed
for the p. rchase OF another. This
is the only reason the people have
for urging its location in the pub,
lie square. If there are persons
who feel that the square is MOI
valuable as park than it would
be if occupied by court house
they should take steps to secure
to the county, free of any expense
a site that Is equally as desirable
This would only be fair and rea
sonable, and would silence every
objection to the location of the
count house elsewhere.

forms OF the two great existing
parties. The third party is a pass
ing dream, in which the leading
materislize as men
alike ignorant OF the wants of a
great people and the principles of
sound government.
Some object to building q
court. house, for the reason that
it is cheaper to rent than it is to
pay interest on the bouds. But
the difference between rent and
interest on the bonds is not the
only thing to consider. 1t must
be remembered that the county

the rain. Beyond that considera-
ton they would be just about

Weather Predictions.

The opening days of June will be
warm, with reactionary rains and
storms. After sn intermlssion of
pleasant, cooler days and nights,
about the 9th it will grow oppress-
lively warm, and very active storm
indications will begin to appear to
the west. On and next to the Z, 8,
and 8, a series of active, violent
disturbances may certainly be
expected. These disturbances
are apt to be prolonged be-
yond the normal times by the
fact that the equinox of Mercury
falls on the IL, that of Venus on
the 17th with moons first quarter
on the I4th-all of these added to
the fact that the June solstice
reaches its crisis about this time.
The best outlook for heavy rains
during the whole summer is dur
ing this, and the storm period
next following. Among the results
naturally to be looked for will be
many startling, grand displays of
lightning, downpours of raln-fre-
quent and heavy hailstorms, with
phenomenal drops of the mercury
from hot to cool, and earthquake
shocks in different parts of the
globe. Careful observers will de-
tect a natural tendency of clouds
and air currents to whirl sudden
ly backward from the east, precip-
ltating drenching downpours of
rain and hail upon localities
which they haye apparently pass
ed. Watch and see.
The 19 is the central day of the
next regular storm period. With
in 4S hours of 6 p. m. on the 19,
before and after, a very warm
wave followed by heavy storm dis
turbances will pass over the con-
tlnent from west to east. About
the evening OF the %, au unusual
ly cool wave will be announced for
central parts of the country which
will spread later to the Atlantic,
and abide in cooler, tresher atmos-
phere until displaced by warmer
days and reactionary sto, ms Oh
the 25 and 26.
Pleasant days and nights will
succeed up to about the last day
of June, when the temperature
will again begin to grow hot and
oppressive, and storm forces will
begin to SHOW in the west, which
are sure to sweep eastward during
the l and 2 of July. During the
month of June there are reasons
TO expect dangerous storm deyel-
. opments at some of the large fig
ure dates of the calendar. Fix it
in your minds that you will watch
all gathering storm clouds on and
about these dates. At the date
of this writing the MINIMUM OF
RAINFALL" of which we have con-
stantly aud earnestly warned our
readers for years, is beginning
seriously 10 make itself felt. Ii
, this state of things is not revers-
ed as we pass the June solstice,
the drought now confronting us
will confirm our worst fears. st.
