Girlhood in China.

So short is the girlhood of a Chinese

SHALL WOMEN RIDE AsTRrDE
English Horsewoman Decides Yes,
And Gives Good Reasons.
Baltimore Sun

Baltimore Sun.
The experience and opinion of a noted
English horsewoman and traveller on the
question of riding astride recently ap-
peared In print, and is worth reading. 1t
Is as follows:
II began to ride on a side-saddle at Z
years of age and astride at II, and have
alternated between the two modes pretty
well ever since, yet the cross saddle is
the one l prefer to every count Personal
experience must be personal at the risk
continue practical illustrations. may re-
mark that a girl and I once rode 1853
miles In three days and a few hours. in
Iceland, with tents for our night shelter
There were no roads, and the pony con-
stantly forded rivers or climbed volcanic
rocks
Such a journey would have been well
nigh impossible in the time on a side
saddle, but was fairly fatiguing to the
rider when properly balanced in a nat
ural position. That a mans seat is a
proper one Is surely manifest, otherwise,
why do all men in the world including
soldiers, mount astride? Not only is it
a natural pose, but 1t is easy to mount
or dismount. If a horse fall the male
rider can extricate himself; but suppose
an animal stumbles over some mountain
path and a precipice yawns below on
the near side, over goes the lady eques-
TRAN to sudden death with the horse on
top of her. Again. in the case of a fall
In the hunting field. the woman may be
caught up and dragged to her death, the
man almost never; he is more easily I'M
seated. and therein lies his safety.
Good equestrians ride almost entirely
by balance. They do not grip except when
necessary for the security of their seat.
This applies to both men and women,
but in the case of women think 1t nec-
essary for their safety when on a man s
saddle to have rolls on the flaps as Aus
tralian bushmen or American cowboys in
variably do. These add TO the safety OF
the seat and are not unsightly. wo-
mans build demands this slight extra
support. which some men now do without.
OF course, no woman can ride big-bar-
relied horse. as her legs are shorter than
a mans, but luckily in such wild coun-
tries as Iceland Morocco and Mexico,
where l have put cross riding to the
practical test. horses are all small or
we'll bred, with high withers and narrow
chests"

ACTION WAS DEFERRED
COUNCIL GIVES COMMITTEES
FURTHER TIME.
Special Meeting Held to Consider
School Buildings and Bids for
Coal, But COMMITTEES
Not Ready.

1t was expected that important matters
concerning the schools of Montgomery
and bids for coal for the waterworks
would be passed upon by the City Coun-
Gil at its special session last night The
committees having these matters under
consideration were not ready to report,
however, and they were given further
time.
The special session of the Council was
called to order at $50 o'clock and Alder
men Kohn, Toole. Hartley, Roeder. Nc
Intyre, johnson, Farley and Gunter were
present.
Chairman Hartley of the Streets Com
mittee asked for unanimous consent to
bring before the Council at the called
meeting, the action which his commit
tee had taken on the location of the
curves on Commerce and Bibb Streets OF
the Montgomery Street railway. The
company had secured from the Council
permission to build curves at the junction
of Commerce and Bib Streets for join
ing the Court Street and depot lines and
the line of the old Montgomery Suburban
Company
Alderman Hartley reported that his
committee had located the curves with
which the junction would be made, but
that the committees action would have
to be ratified by the Council before the
work could be done. He presented to The
Council blue prints, showing the proposed
curves, and they were examined by the
Aldermen.
The Council ratified the action Of the
committee.
Alderman Anderson. chairman Of the
Water Committee, asked that his COM
mittee, which was to have reported at
the special meeting on bids for supplying
coal for the pumping station for the next
twelve months, be allowed further time.
He said he had not been able to secure a
full meeting of the committee for con-
sideration of the bills, and he asked that
his committee be given until the next
called meeting to make a report. His
request was granted.
Chairman Gunter of the special COM
mittee which has under consideration the
proposed change al the Chiffon College
school building on Sayre Street and the
Transformation of the Billings residence
on Clayton Street into a school building.
said his committee was not ready to re-
port, and he, too, was granted further
time.
The Council, on motion of Alderman
May, adjourned.

TRACTION CARS HERE
FIVE NEW MOTORS SENT TO
PICKETT SPRINGS.
Suburban Line is Nearly Completed
and Will Begin Operation With
in a Short Time-Waiting
on Council.

Five new cars of the Montgomery Trac+
ton Company were taken last night from
the yards of the Western of Alabama
Railroad to Pickett Springs.
These cars reached Montgomery Thurs
day from the factory at Baltimore. They
remained on sidetrack near the Union
railway station until yesterday afternoon
when they were taken to the yards. Last
night they were sent to the barn at
Pickett Springs.
Che cars are for summer use and are or
the most modern design. They were trans
ported on fifty-foot platforms and were
covered with canvas. The cars are thirty
feet long and are provided with ten seats
running across the car. Each seat will
accommodate six passengers. By using
the platforms and the running boards
each car will accommodate something
like seventy-five persons. They are fitted
in handsome wood, attractively painted,
and are already mounted on wheels. Fen
ders are attached.
The Pickett Springs line will probably
begin operation within two or three
weeks. The line is complete from Pickett
Springs to the corner of Monroe and Nc
Donough Streets and will be extended in
to the down town district as soon as
the City Council takes action as to laying
new tracks on Dexter Avenue from Perry
Street to Court Square.
The traction company has a franchise
to operate cars in this district, but the
Council is opposed to any more tracks
being laid on Dexter Avenue. The city
fathers proposed that the traction COM
pany operate cars over the tracks of the
Montgomery Street Railway on Dexter
Avenue, and the traction company as
sented. The Montgomery Street Railway
refused, however to allow the use of it's
tracks and the matter is to be adjusted
by the Council.
w. II. Rayland Superintendent of Con-
struction of the traction company sand
yesterday that he was anxiously awaiting
the action of the Council as he desired to
see his line in operation before the close
of the summer months.

HE WAS NOT IMPRESSED.

Old Indian Chief Turned Up His Nose
at Gorgeous Trapplnos.
One of the civilians at the state
house has good one on the mem
bers of the gilded staff which he is
telling with great glee, says the Cape
Ann (Mass.) News.
Down in Old Town a few years
ago, says the man who tells the story,
they were entertaining the governor
and his gold-encrusted staff
The Indians were enjoying the
staff as much as the staff were en-
joying the Indians. One old chief of
lost tribe had been watching the
gliding from distance.
Finally he came up to one of the
aids, who was standing bit apart
from the rest. He looked the colonel
over. He studied him attentively
from the front and rear and sides.
Belong to the armyY' he asked.
NO" said the colonel.
The Indian paused and studied the
effect anew.
Navy
mo"
Another long contemplation of the
gold lace.
"Milesh?" queried the Indian.
There was whitening contempt in
the mo" of the answer.
The Indian went away back and sat
, down. He had run his limit, but still
he wanted to know what all the trim
mings stood for.
Once more he loped up to the
colonel and catching hold of his
aiguillette, put the question squarely.
"W hat do you belong to, heh?"
"The governors staff" replied the
aid, adding a little strain to the
double row of brass buttons that
chased themselves down to his gold
lace belt.
ooh, hi" said 10, and he walked
away with his head in the air.
