Origin of the Sidesaddle.

The use Of the side saddle for women
riders is traced to the time of Anne Of
Bohemia, eldest daughter of the emper-
or of Germany, who married Richard
IL of England. Previous to this date all
English women bestrode their horses in
manly fashion, but on account of de-
formity this German bride was forced
to use side saddle, and the custom be-
came general. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Odd Proper Names.

AT last somebody, and it happens to
be a. woman, has written a book that is
modelled on nobody's, and will prove a
most comforting possession for the
heads of patriarchal families. In a
word, it is a. book made up fully OF sur
names actually in use of the most vio-
lently striking order. Any man or wo-
man who has been burdened with an I'M
comely or suggestively uncomfoTt
name will find solace in the perusal OF
names like those taken from life and re-
corded in this book, says the Boston Re-
public.
For the benefit of specialists the names
have been ingeniously arranged accor-
ding to their kind, as a list from the
anatomical section will indicate: Back
Firmback, Brownback, Slyback, Noback,
Shoulders, Spine, Waist, Leg, Foot,
Knee, Barefoot, Loudfoot, Cinkerfoot,
Heel and Soles.
Again, in the list of medical names,
one finds new support for the theory
that surnames were not chosen but in
flicted upon their bearers. Otherwise
how account for names like these: Doc
tor, Bonecutter, Apothecary, Patient,
Sickman, Paleman, Nurse, Vigil, Lint,
Splint, Brace, Sling, Swab, Crutch, Bot
ties, Vial, Stopper, Cork, Label, Dose,
Diet, Drugs, Cordial, Balsam, Bitters,
Arnica, Hartshorn, Logwood, Birthstone,
Morphia, Pill, Pellet, Powders, Plasters,
salve, Malady, Pain, Ache, SILVER, Chill,
Cough, Grip, Group, Hurts, Bumps,
Lump, Bruise, Scar, Sprain, Warts,
Splinter, Foster, Wellfnger Shock, Cash,
Gore, Matter, Pain, Itchings, Twitchings,
Lame, Blind, Slender, Slim, Lean, Lank,
Haggard, Pale, Delicate, Frail, Sallow.
Faint, sickly, Ill, Weak, Weary, Failing,
Moan, Groan, Suffer, Heal, Cure, Fat
Tall, Straight, Hearty, Well"
The supply of domestic names is re-
markably full and interesting: Glitch
en-, Cook, Servant, scullion, Coke, SHOW
Ell, Coal, Smoke, Bellows, Spark, Blaze,
Hotfre, Burn, Clinker, SCOT, Kettle.
Washer, Wringer, Pump, Sink, Drain,
Dipper, jug, Crock, Tins, Knife, Fork,
Spoon, Coffee, Cream, Sugar, Tea, But
ter, Bread, Yeast, Muffin, Rolls, Johnny
cake, Oyster, Clam, Pickles, Olive, Pep
pers, Cinnamon, Mace and Mustard . !.

AS the Sun Went Down.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield,
AT night when the sun went down.
One held lock Of thin gray hair
And one held lock Of brown
One thought of his sweetheart back al
home
Happy, and young, and gay.
And Que Of his mother left alone,
Feeble, and old, and gray.
Each in the thought that a woman cared
MurMnIetl prayer to God.
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in the JOY OF a woman's love,
Smiled through the pain of death.
Mnrmured the sound of a :woman's name
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips Of each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed lock of thin gray hair,
And one kissed lock of brown.

Blessing in Sorrow

II none were sick and none were sad,
What service could we render?
] think il we were always glad
We scarcely could be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold, and miss in
deed :" -,
It's sweetest consultations.
II sorrow never claimed our hearts,
And every wish were. granted,
Patience would die and hope depart
Life would be disenchanted.

Trials-Sorrows.

The wind moaned weirdly through the

And just at breaking of the light

The frail young life had waged fierce
war,
Like ship against the wrathful wave
Or warrior thro his honored scar
Succumbs and fills an unknown grave
So Keith, our loved one, yielded up
His mortar life, to us so dear.
His trials-just one bitter cup,
His sorrows-just one great salt tear
When all was DER his lifeless form
Lay peaceful, though in deaths abode;
His soul, like calm succeeding storm,
Thro' death had found repose in God
