IN PHILADELPHIA.

The proposition that women should
abandon the side saddle and ride astride
of horses meets with much favor in Phil
adelphia. Eugene de Kieffer, who has
taught three generations of Philadelphia's
society to ride, is an enthusiastic advo-
cate of riding astride.
Il would not be understood said Mr..
de Kieffer, ''as saying all women should
ride astride. There is a prejudice against
1t on the grounds of modesty, so that
every woman must decide for herself
whether or not she should ride astride in
public. What do say is that every wom-
an who learns riding should be taught
first to ride astride In the case Of little
girls placed under my charge for instruc-
ton 1 begin by teaching them to ride
astride.
The attitude is easy, graceful and ma
tural Any person who knows anything OF
the anatomy Of the human body need not
be tcld that it is very much more health
ful than the more or less cramped posi-
ton assumed on the side saddle The
spinal column is in the position intended
by nature. The lungs and heart have full
play, and in consequence greater benefits
are derived from the exercise than if it
We're taken in the side saddle"
Mr.. de Kieffer said he knew many wom-
en- who ride astride in public but their
habits are so made that little or no at
tention is attracted to them
ne claim that a womans leg is short
er than mans from the hip to the
knee" he continued, "and that in conse-
quence she cannot take firm hold of the
SADDLE, has little to substantiate it, Some
men have very short legs, but that does
not prevent them from becoming excel
lent horsemen If that is the only physi-
cal objection that can be advanced against
woman riding astride, it is a very poor
one"
Charles Brossman, instructor Of Phil
adelphla's mounted police force, said: 81.
nave observed that when women once he
come accustomed to riding astride they
seldom return to the side saddle A wom
an presents much more graceful appear
ance when riding astride. In the side
saudle she unconsciously shifts the upper
portion of her body with each motion NJ
the horse. Besides being awkward this
may produce curvature of the spine
mere can be no question of the supe-
rlorlty of the astIide attitude for women
IN the saddle" said Dr. Orville HorWitz
II Is the natural position The BODY is
held erect, the spinal column is in its
proper place and so are the other organs.
AS consequence the healthful exercise
OF riding is very much more beneficial
10 women and far less fatiguing. The
only objection that can be urged is on
the grounds of modesty, and that is more
or sentiment than anything else There
is at least one woman in this city who
rides astride in public. She is often to
be seen in Paramount park and attracts
no particular attention.

IN CHICAGO.

chicago physicians in general regard
man fashion, of riding a horse the
proper one, and denounce the side saddle
as barbarous. They point out that
women in savage tribes always ride
astrlde Many riding masters or instruc-
tors say it is better for a woman to ride
astrlde, as the side saddle is simply an
lnhum2n instrument of torture When
divided skirts are worn the equestlie me
does not attract attention
70 the argument that the legs of
women, between the knee and hip, are
shorter than those Of men, and often
prevent them from securing a safe g,'p
on the sides of the animal. Dr. A B.
Mills says:
This does not apply to all women. All
men cannot ride horses, either. Fat
women should not ride at ALL Even
women who are supple and have a fine
length of limb could rot ride a charger
belonging to the heavy. cavalry, but
would look graceful upon slender
animal, and lack of length of limb would
make no difference"
Il do not see," said DR.. E. L. Miller,
why women need 4 firmer seat i'll the
saddle than that afforded by the weight
Of the body and the aid of the stirrups.
If they were to join a cavalry regiment
and charge the enemy, or hunt bIffa o,
or indulge in cowboy tricks, they might
need a grip or clutch upon the sides Of
their horses, but in riding along TIE
boulevards Or cantering over the country
roads there is no danger of their falling
off
NJ de Cetmesnit one of Chicago's lead
ing riding teachers, does not advise
women to follow the masculine fashion
in horseback riding, but advocates it, as
does Hugo Kruger, another riding mas
ter Both have daughters, accomplished
hOrSeWomen, who ride astride.

some one would only set the style" de-
clared John Vail, riding master.
II do not know of any reputable woman
in New York who rides astride today, but
If it were fashionable there would soon be
plenty of them. 1 do not know Of single
reputable riding man in New York who
advocates women riding astride. Out
West they use a cheaper grade of saddle
than we do, and this may help to explain
why there are signs Of revolution in the
air. To ride astride woman would require
a broader saddle than man, and would
not be comfortable. Here a good lady's
saddle costs from 800 to SIPS, and 1t is
admirably adapted to the purpose for
which 1t is intended. woman sits on
1t not only securely, but gracefully"
It's question, though, that the ladies
will settle for themselves was remark
ed at one place. II presume when they
are ready to ride astride, and their ranks
are strong enough to change the fashion,
they will ride that way. But you can de-
pend on 1t, it will be the ladies that will
bring the change about If it ever comes.
1t will not be done by resolution of health
boards or humane societies"

IN CLEVELAND.

The Health Protective Association Of
Cleveland--an organization composed Of
about che hundred of the most prominent
women in the city-started the crusade
for divided skirts and mems saddles for
women in riding horseback.
Mrs. n. A. Gilbert, one Of the members
of the executive committee of the asso-
citation and wife of a prominent Cleve-
land attorney, says of the movement:
Women should wear divided skirts and
take the same position on a horse that a
man does. The present side saddle is
dangerous to the health of women, and
it is for that reason particularly that the
association will try to overcome the evil.
Another reason for the crusade is that
the side saddle is injurious to the horse,
and at the same time a dangerous and
unsightly method of riding. There is no
good reason why a woman should not
ride a horse astride, just the same as
she rides a bicycle"

FIRST COPYRIGHT CASE.
1t Came Before King Diarmuid, Of
Tara. In the Eleventh Century. .

Book Culture.
The manuscript of St. COLUMBIA, or
what is left of it, is in the library of
the Irish academy. 1t has a curious in
terest in connection with an incident
which may be regarded as the first at
tempted enforcement of a law of copy
right.
We are told in an Irish manuscript of
the eleventh century, published by Wind
ische that COLUMBIA requested permission
of Bishop Molaise to copy the gospels or
ST. Finnan which had been lately placed
in the Episcopal cathedral. Meeting with
a churlish refusal he stole into the
church night after night, until he had
the whole copied.
When Molaise learned the trick that
had been played on him, he fell into a
terrible rage, demanded the copy, and
on Columba's refusal, appealed to King
Diarmuid, then in residence in Tara
After hearing both parties, Diarmuid
sought for precedents in all the libraries
of Erin, but there never before had been
a case in which the rights of an author
or transcriber in his work were involved
However, there had been any number of
cases dealing with the ownership of cat
tie, and on these was the kings judg-
mentv ba Sed.
1.-The calf he said, belongs to the
owner of the cow. and the little book to
the owner Of the big book" LIE cab boin
a boineen agus lie cab lebar lebraun;
literally: To each cow her little COW and
to each book her little book.
AS to the calamities that followed the
enforcement OF this novel copyright law,
are they not written in the chronicles
of the wars of the Gael?

TWENTY-SEVEN CENTS A DAY
Men Who Live Comfortably in wash
iDgtOn on That Amount,
Washington Star

Washington Star.
ON, yes there are plenty of fellows in
this city who live we'll on q cents a
day." said a dining room owner to a
Star reporter. The lunchman has been
In the business for years and knows what
he is saying. Til tell you how they do
1t. They get up in the morning and
with cents go to a Scent lunch room.
There they procure a cup of coffee and a
sandwich each costing cents or some
thing of that sort. This is sufficient for
them. At lunch time they visit the
scent places again, and with a piece of
pie and glass of milk are contented
until dinner. That is a total of u cents.
AT dinner they go to the regular lunch
or dining LOOMS and eat themselves hap
Ply on Is cents. AT a number of regu-
lar dining rooms in the city a dinner can
be bought for Is cents, and will be a good
one too 1t will consist of soup and
bread, one meat and one entree, one
vegetable, a piece of pie or other des-
sert and a cup of tea or coffee.
But where these sharpers do the lunch
room proprietors is in another way They
have become so expert at the business
that they know when each dining room
is to have a certain dish for dinner, and.
therefore, they have their pick Of meats
and other things. 1 remember that I
used to serve chicken on certain dav
getting the best of me. All of them
would visit me on Chicken day. and
with their Is cents would get a good
dinner. The next day they would dis
appear, and would show up at the dining
rooms of some other man. OF course. I
couldn't stand the expense of this kind
Of business, and 1 disarranged the entire
programme of the young fellows by not
having any regular bill of fare for every
day in the week, as most dining rooms
have. 1 lost some Of this trade, but in
doing so 1 think 1 made money. These
2-cent fellows can scent ice cream for
days ahead and will be on hand They
are never suspected of their shrewd
ways, because most of them dress well
and hold good positions. For all 1
know they may do this to save money
1 expect, however, that they simply save
to spend in dress and in making an APP
pearance In other ways, where their
style will show to advantage

BOER NAMES.
Towns in the TransvaaI Nearly All
Called After British Officers.

The origin Of the names of some of the
towns in Cape Colony and Natal which
are at present so prominently attracting
public attention is of interest. Durham
is named from Sir Benjamin Durham, who
was governor of the Cape in 1884. Ora
Jamestown and Harrismith are named re-
spectively from military commanders
Col Graham and Col. Sir Harry Smith
Caledon, Beaufort, Somerset and Cradock
are named from former governors. The
towns Of Ladysmith, Port Elizabeth and
Lady Grey are called after the wives Of
Cape governors. Kimberley is named
after the Earl of Kimberley, who was
colonial secretary from 1870 to 1874, when
the town advanced from the position of
a mushroom camp to that of permanent
mining center

Wheat has tended downward all week.
The principal cause is attributed to the
persistent reports that great shipments Of
the grain were to be made from Duluth
to Chicago, and as a result the bull ele-
ment yielded the heavy load so long car
ried under protest, and prices slumped
steadily. While the difference is not SO
great as to cause any distress among
dealers, yet it is sufficient to check activ-
ity of the market and give the bears
chance to keep pounding away at figures
with successful results At Minneapolis
there is a difference of about 1c. Fully
that much was lost at Chicago a little
less at Duluth, and but 1ac at New York.
Just what the coming week will develop
there is nothing at hand to indicate. The
boards of trade generally were closed
Saturday, owing 20 the funeral of the
late Vice President Hobart, and what the
opening Monday will show is nothing
more than guess.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn suffered, in sympathy with wheat,
for the first time in recent months AS
a rule the coarser grain has stood alone,
owing to the Northumberland export de-
mand, but for some unexplained reason
it slumped off with wheat last week.
Trading in corn was dull and prices de-
cidedly weak.
Oats were also neglected to a greater
extent than in any previous week of re-
cent date Prices did not show material
changes, however, and dealings were not
sufficiently large to indicate anything
definite as to the future of the market.
STOCKS IMPROVE.
The stock market is In decidedly better
shape than at the correspding period OF
the previous week. This IS due to the ac-
ton of Secretary Gage in purchasing
bonds, thereby relieving the tightness OF
the money market. Banks are in better
shape than they had been for many
weeks, and the rate for call loans showed
how beneficial had been the action OF
the treasury. The sensation of the week
was the bulge in Baltimore & Ohio, which
showed marked gains in prices. There IS
some big change on in Baltimore & Ohio'
and spectators are yet in the dark as
to just what it is. 1t was sufficient now
ever, the past week to add handsome
profit to the holdings of the buy SIDE
