and old, and the increasing number of
those who habitually take ,,dvantage
of their opportunities in this direction
affords constant evidence of beneficial
results. Judicious care is necessary in
determining the age at which children
may safely be allowed to indulge in the
sport, proper training in the funda-
mental principles of correct riding be-
ing essential. How Women Should
Ride" is the title of a recently published
book which embodies some good ad-
vice to parents, with simple and eX-
tended instruction on how to ride with
safety, grace and skill from the time
of beginning to the time of attaining
a perfect equestrian education. The
authors experience has led him to the
conclusion that girls under sixteen
should not be allowed to incur the risks
attendant upon riding. Before that
age they are less an1enable to reason,
have not sufficient strength to manage
a horse, and their Judgment cannot be
depended on in case of accidents. An
other reason for not allowing them to
take such violent exercise, says the
New York Sun, is the danger Of in
juring the spine, either from. unequal
strain on It or from constant concus-

one Tails to her lot she must throw
her weight forward a little to the right
to help the horse preserve his balance.
She may clutch at his name as fran
tcaiy as she likes if she will only
take care not to touch his mouth A
plunging horse should be kept going
at a fast pace, as he is less liable to
begin his antics. In case Of a runa-
way, whether the rider be man or
woman, self-possesion is one VI the
surest safeguards against accident If
you promptly commence saving the
horses mouth with the rein and keep
sure not to give him q strong steady
pull it may stop him; if not, then cir
cumstances must govern the situation.
If the way ahead is clear it is best to
urge him on with the whip until he is
tired out. If he falls by crossing his
legs keep a tight hold of the reins and
get clear of him as soon as possible.
Choosing the right horse is a consid
GRAFTON that has much to do with a
Woman's comfort in riding. Cats
which are perfectly comfortable for a
man are often too hard for a woman.
Looks are not of so much importance
as that horse be easy gated, the
right height and build for the particular
woman who is going to ride him, with
a firm, elastic step and not much in
clination to pull, and thus expend all
of her strength in a useless manner.
Beauty in a horse has first attraction
for a woman, and it is a good point
if it is combined with good qualities.
Riding habits should be very simple,
with a skirt Of heavy cloth that will
keep it's place without straps to hold
it down. 1t should be just long enough
to cover the left foot, not not full
enough to have any unnecessary folds.
The safety skirt which is worn in the
hunting field in England, has more!
advantages than any other, as it is:
made so it cannot possibly catch in:
case of a fall. A circular piece is cut
out on one side so that there is no
cloth near the pommel and yet in effect
it is like the regulation skirt. A small
strip of cloth buttons under the right
knee, where the skirt is rounded out,
on to the piece which is under the leg.
This and an elastic strap over the foot
keep it in place. The waist should be
single-breasted and long over the hips,
reaching almost to the saddle, and cut
away in front to show q WaistcOat.
Good sense ought to teach a woman
tnat her rldlng waist should be loose
to admit Of full, free breathing and
circulation Of the blood.
A spur is not Il sensible addition to
a woman's outfit, and it is much better
for her to ride without one, as the
skirt is sure to intercept the proper use,
of it, and, besides, a horse that is fit:
for a woman to ride does not need
spurs. The saddle should be plain,
~ 0yyn ,o1c +1,o4
fit the knees perfectly so as not to i'm
pede the circulation and render the
muscles powerless to hold a firm grip.
The majority Of American women
make no attempt to attain any pro-
ficienc: in riding across country, leap
ing fences and hunting with the men,
so her equestrian education cannot be
considered quite complete until she
follows her English sisters and per-
fects herself in the more active prin-
ciples Of expert riding.

mind AS she gains confidence there
is danger Of forming bad habits and
getting the body into wrong POSITIONS

is wrong to allow a child to wear an
ill-ftting habit, us it makes her appear
at disadvantage and handicaps her
in riding.
Vanity a Dangerous Weapon.
Vanity and desire to attract atten-
tiOn is too often the reason which
prompts women to acquire a little
knowledge of this desirable accom-
plishment. One who possesses a good
figure is conscious Of looking her best
in riding habit, and the opportunity
for display is too good to be lost. After
a few lessons which teach her how to
mount gracefully, sit erectly and hold
the reins properly she considers her
self quite beyond the need of instruc-
ton and altogether a very skillful
horseWoman. With a gentle horse and
no accidents she may continue to be
impressed with her own cleverness,
but give her an eXcitable animal and
an element of danger in the SITUATE
and she will soon find that she is not
prepared for emergencies. Some
women think they are natural-born
riders and consider that they are mas
ters of the art without any training,
which results in mistakes.
In beginning to ride it is advisable
to learn TO mount from the ground as
well as from a block, and this is done
by placing the right hand containing
whip and reins on the upper pommel,
the left foot, with the knee bent, in
the hand of the attendant, the left
hand on his shoulder, and at a signal
springing from the right foot and

Sion. A reversible side-saddle will OBJ
viate some Of this difficulty and at
least help to develop both sides evenly.
Still another evil result of riding too
young is the chance that if she escape
accidents she will get so much praise
by the time she is sixteen that stimulat-
ed confidence in her own ability will
lead her to think that there is no room
for improvement and bad habits and
careleSsness will result.
Advice to Beginners.
If little girls must rule, and parents
cannot wait until they are Of proper
age, then every care must be taken to
facilitate their learning and assure their
safety. The common theory that any
old horse will do for beginners is entire
ly wrong. Old horses are liable to
stumble, and ponies, which are thought
by many to be so nice for children,
are tricky and unreliable. The horse
should have a square, elastic trot, a
kind disposition, and be well disciplined
and a child should become familiar
with him by going to the stable and
petting him. This will give her conf
dence in him and avoid the feeling of
terror which is sure to cone with the
first attempt to ride. Before putting
her on his back the theory of his man
agement should be taught to her, al
though she may not comprehend it all.
She must be made to understand the
necessity of riding from balance, and
not pull herself up by the horses
mouth. When she is seated in the sad
die she must not be allowed to touch
the reins until the horse has been led
around for a time. to teach her the
correct position and accuStOm her to

"About the best way to catch rats
that I know is to catch the n alive in
your hands," said a serious looking man
in the group around the stove.
'Well, that's easily said" remarked
a skeptical hayseed; "but how many did
you ever catch that way?'

In catching rats in steel traps great
care is required to deceive the rodents.
Traps need to be well covered and
everything done to avoid raising the
suspicious of the 'varmints.' Often
when rats refuse to eat poisoned bread
and butter they may be baited With
poisoned crackers, cheese or meat.
Rats are shy and yamy creatures, but

DARK AND COLD AS ZERO.

An Experiment Showing the Vast Pres
sure in the Oceans Lowest Depths.
The peculiar physical conditions
OF the deep seas may be briefly stated
to be these: It is absolutely dark so
far as actual sunlight is concerned; :;
the temperature is only few
degrees above freezing point; the
pressure is enormous; there is little
or no movement of the water; the
bottom is composed of uniform,
fine, soft mud, and there is no plant
life. All Of these physical conditions
one can appreciate. says the Phila-
delphia Press. except the enormous
pressure At a depth of $500 faith
oms the pressure is, roughly speak,
ing, tYo and one-half tons per SO uare
inch that is to say, the pressure
per square inch upon the body of
every animal that lives at the bot
tom OF the Atlantic ocean is about
twenty five times greater than the
pressure that will drive q railway
train. Professor Moseley describes
an interesting experiment in point
made during the voyage of the Chal-
lenger. Mr.. Buchanan hermetically
sealed ct both ends a thick glass
tube full of air several inches in
length. He wrapped it in flannel
and placed it in wide copper tube
One Of those used to protect the
deep sea thermometers wher sent
down with the sounding apparatus
This copper tube was closed by lid
fitting loosely and with holes in the
bottom of it, and the copper bottom
of the tube similarly had holes bored
through it. The water thus had free
access to the interior of the tube
when IT was lowered into the sea
and the tube was necessarily con-
structed with that object in view,
so that, in its ordinary use, the
water would freely reach the con-
tanned thermometers The copper
case containing the sealed glass wa.
sent down to depth Of 1000 faith
oms and drawn up again. 1t was
then found that the copper wall of
the case was bulged and bent inward
opposite the place where the glass
tube lay, just as if it had been crum-
pied inward by being violently
squeezed. The glass tube itself,
within its flan mel wrapper, was found,
when withdrawn, reduced to a fine
powder, like snow almost. What had
happened was that the sealed glass
tube, sinking 60 gradually increasing
depth, had held out long against the
pressure, but this at last had become
too great for the glass to sustain
and the tube had suddenly given
way So violent had been the col
lapse that the water had not had
time to rush in at the perforations,
but instead had crushed the copper
wall and brought equilibrium in that
manner, and this process is exactly
the reverse of un explosion and is
termed by Sir Wyyille Thompson an
"implosion.' -

as possible. The wrists should be bent
so that the knuckles point straight
ahead with the thumbs up, so that the
play will be entirely from the wrist,
while the reins will be held in the left
hand with the right on them, so as to
be ready in case of need. 1t is quite
proper to hold the reins in both hands,
but quite close together"
Wisdom in Sparing the Whip.
In trying to mount a restless horse
a woman should settle herself in the
saddle as expeditiously as possible and
once mounted walk the horse little
way; dismount in another place and
repeat the lesson, increasing the time
of his standing with each trial. If he
SHES she must coax him up to the OBJ
ject which frightens him and rarely
use the whip on such occasions. If
horse is whipped once for shying he is
likely to bolt the next time he comes
to the same place to avoid punishment.
This theory Of managing horses is
founded on kindness and gentle per-
suasion, and against the method of
whipping for every little offense which
may come from misconception on the
part of the horse. IF it is certain that
a fault has been Willfully committed,
then the punishment should be given
in firm and temperate manner at the
time he disobeys, OF he will not under
stand it's meaning" Women ought
not to ride rearing horses, but in case

The habit Of adjusting the skirt,
having the girths tightened and put
ting on gloves before taking the reins
and putting the knee in place is dan
gerous as well as incorrect, The 35ad-
vantage of the right position over the
wrong one is soon realized, as it
changes the grip and gives so much
more purchase.
The first point in a good position 'is
sit well back in the saddle with the
shoulders square to the front and press
down from the hip to the knee close
to the saddle; when sure that it is
down grasp the pommel, as it is from
this knee one must rise. The leg hangs
straight and close to the horse, With
the toe depressed to avoid breaking

fall naturally at the sides, bending in
at the elbow without any awkward
lines. The muscles above the waist
should be relaxed to avoid stiffness,
while the lower ones should be firm.
