Foolish uorsewoinen.

Different observers have commented
upon the increase of women riders III
England who ride on the off side OF
their horses. The English woman has
been taken rs model i'll horsewoman-
ship, and her departure in this respect
will certainly have its influence. 1t Is
said that already the sight is sufficient
" common in Hyde park to have ceased
to arouse comment, and though 1t still
looks odd "and not Thoroughbred, you
know" its cause Of being is sensible
enough to procure sanction for it. Ac-
cording to those who know, riding OH
one side of her horse where woman
rides almost daily has a tendency tc
give an undesirable swing or curve tc
her figure, and the idea Of an occasional
change is on the same principle as run
ming the other way" around circle.

You said it would bring no !-e- sultant benefits to our workmen; it SC. cured for them enlarged employment and increased wages You said it would enhance the cost of the protected article; it cheapened it to the consum- CT. You said it would diminish our foreign trade; it augmented it in 1899 to $1, S57, ,GS0,Gl0, an increase over the previous year of SIPS, ,2s3,6 GOA You said 1t would shut out our products from foreign markets; our export trade in- creased s145, 797, ,3SS, swelling its vol- ume to sl,030, 27s. 14s, the largest ever known in the history of the country and exceeding the value of our imports by s202, ST5, CSC.

NIada of Sturdy StufY.

A fourteen-year-old boy made his ap- pearance at Cincinnati recently on his way to Roanoke, Va, after years wanderings. It seems that he lived in Roanoke with . brother, his parents being dead, and becoming dissatisfied decided to go to New Orleans to see his aunt. When he got there he found that she had moved to Chicago. It took him two months to get to that city, only to find that his aunt had gone to St. Paul. Then the boy relinquished the chase and found employment in the Colum- bian exposition until its close. After that he worked month at doing odd jobs, and then began to make his way back to Virginia. Sometimes he walked, and occasionally benevolent stranger paid his transportation, and at last reports he was confident of reaching home safe and sound. A boy of such energy ought to amount to something when he becomes man.
