Women i'm the Saddle.
Boston Herald.

The custom of women riders to sit
astride the horse In the ordinary mems
saddle has become so well established
that it bids fair entirely to supersede
the time-honored side-saddle habit. 1t is
welcome change. The divided skirts worn
by those who ride In the new fashion look
thoroughly feminine and thus prevent all
suggestion Of eccentricity or outlandishv
ness that so often handicaps a new method.
The custom adds new charm to one of the
best forms Of outdoor exercise A good
looking young lady gains In attractiveness
when she rides in this way. Firmly seated.
she rides as IL she belonged in her place.
The side-saddle practice has little to rec
ommend IL except its sanction by ancient
custom. A riding that way, at
tractive though her general appearance
may be, has an insecure and even uncom-
Portable look that makes the method seem
artificial. Health, grace and beauty all

My friend Folsom is OF a phllanthropio
nature. a Few years ago he built row or
pretty little cottages designed as homes for
workmen in factory not far away. His
idea was to surround these men and their
families with refining influences, SO he spent
a considerable amount OF money IN beausi-
flying the little front yards and parking the
street. Among other things. he set up an
ornamental hitching post before each gate
One evening, when on a rent-collecting
tour, he found one OF these posts torn up
and thrown into the street. An Italian la

How to Make q Rosette Bow.

PearSon's Magazine.
'In making a bow, instead of gathering
the ribbon, after measuring the length of
loop you wish to make, take a spool of
thread. and with the loose end twist the
thread around and around the loop you are
making, drawing it In tightly; then meas
ure the next loop and twist the thread
again. In this way you can make bow
or rosettte without sewing. simply meas
uring the lengths of loops needed, and when
bow is pulled out a much smarter effect is
given then when the loops are all gathered.
All milliners use this method, and it is the
only way to give a bow or rosette crisp
look 4"

Cupid's Rose.
that Cupid had tossed
IT, xr. -~AA1Al

A rosebud that Cupid had tossed
Into Psyche's lap WAS pressed
In her ardent hands awhile TO her breast.
Kissed, twined in her hair and lost.
At the break OF the golden dawn
She sought, through the dewy morn.
For her rose and found dead leaves and q
thorn,
But the rosebud she loved was gone.
But its blush had crimsoned her breast
Her lips and her cheeks-the air
All around filled with a fragrance rare
And her soul with strange unrest.

Gaming Establishment.

It is usua.., -:..,::>>>>i. lat anyone
may enter the gambling saloons at
Monte Carlo and try his or her luck
at the tables where roulette, trente-

But the prince Of Monaco has made
rule that no resident il his "domin-

Not long ago the punishment for
libel in Russia was the requirement
that the libeler literally eat his own
words. A man who published a small
volume rejecting on the unlimited
power Of the sovereign was seized,
tried in q summary way and con-
demned to consume the Objectionable
words. In one of the public streets
the book was severed from it's bind
ing. the margins cut of, the leaves
rolled up, one by one and fed to the

number possible to give without en-
dangering his life, but he is reported
to have set the limit at something
like two hundred.

MANY s.c.eAR BOXES USED.
They Are Made in Millions in City
Of New York,

There are something like 100000
cigar boxes used in the United States
annually, and about nine-tenths of that
number are made in this city, where
the trade rivals the clothing industry
in point of capital invested and num-
Der of people employed" said lead
Ing New York cigarbox manufacturer
recently. "The material out Of which
the best quality Of cigar boxes are
made comes principally from Cuba,
and is known as Spanish cedar. A
popularity about this wood is that 1t
always retains the flavor of a good
cigar. Indeed, some people claim that
it improves the flavor, and the reason
given for this contention is that it
grows in the same localities as the
finest Havana tobacco"

by Mesdames Jones and Hambly
and the song .'eNearer My God to

Of the last meeting were read aud
approved. The advislbility of send
ing thoughtful acts and words in
time Of temptation was read by Mrs

SCHOOL BOYS AND CIGARETTES
Willis Brown, field organizer of
the anti-Cigarette League, reports
that in the seventh and eight grades
of a school in Columbus, Ohio, out of
forty-one boys thirty-six had
used or were smoking cigarettes;
out of thirty five boys in the fifth
and sixth grades, composed of boys
from eight to twelve years OF age
there were only eleven out of fifty
three who were non smokers. OF
the whole number of one hundred
and twenty-nine boys over eighty
two per cent were cigarette users
more or less. This school. it may
pc said, is attended by Jews, Italians
Poles, and colored boys.
In another school where the
pupils come from better homes of
the community the statistics are
equally startling. In the first
eight and second-eight grades, out
of thirty-three boys only two had
not smoked cigarettes. In the first
and second-seventh grades there
were only two non smokers in fifty
three boys; in the sixth and fifth
grades, nine smokers in fifty three
boys. In the total of 100 boys over
eighty--three per cent smoked the
cigarette.
In Fort Wayne, Ind. in 4 school in
the best residence portion of the
city, seventy one per cent of the
boys smoked cigarettes, more or less
In the Liberty Grammar School OF
Pittsburg, Pa, fourteen out Of fifty
five were..non smokers.

Opium Monopoly Discussed.

the Chinese chamber Of commerce and
the Evangelical union argued for sig
hours today in opposing the bill for
the creation of an opium monopoly, at
the public discussion of that measure,
on the occasion of its third reading.
The Chinese advocated that there be
no change in the present indiScrminate
sale of opium with additional govern
ment supervision Of its importation.
The evangelical union delegates urged
the prohibition of the sale of opium by
the United States commission and eN-
posed the most sensational conditions
prevailing, alleging that the Chinese are
tampering with the newspapers and
raising a fund destined to be used In
bringing about the defeat of the bill.
