WOMEN ON HoRJEpAcK

Some writer, either from the petty
desire TO say spiteful things or through
dense stupidity, makes an assertion
that has aroused considerable feeling
IN the mines of sensible women. The
statement is that there were, last year.
In London, several deaths and serious
accidents among the horsewomen on
the famous thoroughfares. After a
little general comment, the para.
grapher goes on to say that this is no
more than to be expected that it is
the old story anyway; that women get
along very we'll on horseback until
there is some emergency or accident,
then they lose their heads altogether.
The tendency of many persons to
indulge III senseless filings at women is
greatly to be deprecated. While no
one can question that there may be
more accidents among women than
men equestrians, nine-tenths of the
trouble is chargeable, not to undue
terror or incapacity among women.
but to the fact that their seat on horse.
back is so much more insecure that
circumstances are very largely against
safety ii anything goes wrong. TAX
ing into consideration this state of
affairs, and the consequent very great
additional risk that women run in the
exercises, this balance of favor does
not altogether rest on the mans side.
Men are, all things being equal, quite
as likely to become panic-stricken and
meet with serious and fatal accidents
as women. The custom of cross. saddle.
which is slowly but surely gaining in
favor, and will increase more rapidly
as the bicycle fancy becomes general,
will do away with very many of the
serious mishaps that threaten the wo-
man that rides.
1t is pitiful comment on the pres
ent state of things that paragraphers
must indulge in such senseless express
sions without even. taking the trouble
to inquire whether or not there is any
Justice In them. Men often write
these things thoughtlessly, but there
is n class of women who are n disgrace
to their sex, and who never fail in order
to cater to the vanity of some weak man
OF their acquaintance to carry the idea
that women are rather poor and incom.
petent creatures Mt the best. 1t is
women of this sort who block the
wheels of progress, and handicap
their sisters in their onward march
toward better condition of exist
ence.-New York Ledger.

ming. The stone should be laid with
care to get room for the water and
prevent the earth from being washed

for this result. The top stones are
chosen for their hGtness and thinness,
so as to fit closely; the spaces between
