BEST EXERCISE FOR BEAUTY.
Writer Sings Praise of Horseback Rid
inQ for Women.


There is nothing that so develops
the beauty of women as horseback rid
ing. 1t not only develops beauty OF
form and complexion, but maintains It.
Aside from the beauty of face and form
which attracts, equestrianism develops
a beauty of character which makes
friends and an ability to hold them.
1t is universally admitted that Ameri-
can women are the most beautiful.
And the most beautiful American wom-
en- are the equestrians. Who has not
seen or heard of the sweet Kentucky
belle, with her Venus-like figure,
bright, laughing eyes, beautiful COM
plexion that would put the damask
rose to shame; a pose, grace, artistic
lines that are beyond the poet to de-
scribe or the artist to reproduce? This
beauty of face, form and character is
the inherited and acquired result of
Questrianism.-New York Medical

RICH PRIZE FOR COLLECTOR.

Asked for Autograph and Got Per.
sonaf Letter From Mommsen.
Tie late Prof. Mommsen had a hor-
ror of autograph collectors. One day
he received request from a young
man whose father he highly honored.
Without replying to the sons request
he wrote long letter to the father
giving his reasons for refusing his au-
tograph in detail. One of these rea-
sons was that the collectors made
notoriety rather than fame their stan
dard, the result being that professors.
ballet girls, swindlers, generals and
others were mixed unfortunately in
their albums. His letter, of course,
found its way promptly to the young

HIS THOUGHT WENT WRONG.
Resident in Italy Unable to Influence
Mayor Mcclellan.

Already Mayor McClellan's fame
has reacher beyond the Alps where
lies Italy. His honor some time ago
received from a subject of King Victor
Emmanuel letter in which the writ
er explains that he is an adept at
thought transference. He says that a
thought has been waited across the
ocean informing him that the mayor
would lend him l ,000 lire for a short
time. Since then two more letters
have arrived from the same CORE
spondent. Col. Mcclellan has figured
it out that 1000 lire is about S195, so
he has done his best to transfer this
thought to Italy: "Nothin' doin'.''

onais in hiah Favor.

In spite of the old-time superstition
there seems to be grave doubt about
the ill-luck attaching to opals in the
minds of the girls of to-day, for opals
are very much worn. There is hardly
a more beautiful stone than the opal,
and jewelers. say that if they continue
to win their way in popular favor they
will become more costly. Hitherto
they have been cheaper than their
beauty led one to expect they would
be, but that was because the super
stition about their ill-luck bringing
powers made people fear to own
them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively small. An opal
surrounded by smaller brilliants
makes a charming setting for ring.
The diamonds reflect the rainbow
tints of the opal and the combination
of stones is one which shows the
beauties of both to. best advantage.

DANGER IN THE AUTO.
Extreme Nervousness Brought On by
the Rapid Transit.

French physicians report an in
creasing number of cases of acute
nervousness which are due directly
to automobiling, and they predict that
with an increase of the sport will
come an increase in the number of
the cases. The sickness Is called the
neurosis of anxiety, and may be
traced to the excitement and mental
tension of rapid travelling with the
emotional repression necessary to Sc

ment while speeding rapidly, with

Judge Parker is no less accom-
plished physically than mentally.
He seems even in the matter OF
handshaking the peer OF Con-
gresham Dovenor, who is ac-
knowledged to be the most solic-
itous, painstaking and hearty
handshaker when campaigning,
of any politicians in our State.
But the following from a dispatch
to the Philadelphia Record de-
tails Judge Parker's superior abil-
ity in that line:
Mr.. Parker would take hold of
the right arm of the handshaker
at the elbow and, would hold it
firmly with his left hand, which
has stout grip. Then, grasping
the outstretched hand with his
own right hand, he would shake
vigorously not only the hand, but
the forearm, the upper right arm
being held with the strong left
hand grip. The caller could not
have got away if he wished, and
he did not wish to. Mr.. Parker
held him with both hands while
something pleasant, different in
every case, was said and the caller
went on.

ABOUT TAX REFORM.

Explaining in a way the effects
If the new tax law in it's apphca-
ton to the value of the farm
lands in this State as they are to
be assessed for tax purposes, the
Wayne News reminds it's readers
of some of the features OF the
law that will open the eyes OF
real estate owners as to the full
significance of tax reform. 1t
says:
The expenses of the State are in
creasing all the time, and the only
way to lift the burden from land
is to provide some new sources OF
revenue. The late Legislature re-
fused to tax coal, oil and gas, or
provide any new sources OF rails
ING taxes. Consequently, real
estate must continue to pay the
bulk of taxes. Instead OF lifting
the load from real estate, the State
Legislature has increased it. A
new assessment of land is to be
made for next year, and the law
requires that land be valued at its
actual cash value, not what 1T
would bring at forced sale, but
what it would bring at a volun-
tary private sale. In other words,
after this year, your land will be
assessed for taxable purposes, at
substantially the price you would
ask for it if you wanted to sell.
This will increase the valuation
over the present figures at least
double.
If this is tax reform, the less OF
it the farmer has the better will
he be off.
