Tho First Riding Lesson.

County Life in America: The pupil of
a good riding master is usually disap-
pointed at not being allowed to do more
in the first lesson. He expects to
mount the horse at once. start off with
a trot and wind up with a canter. He
is a little annoyed upon finding that
the first lesson consists almost wholly
OF oral instruction and a great part Of
1t on foot at that If the master is con-
scientious he will not permit the anxiety
to be Off and doing to interfere with a
proper understanding of the A B c Of
the art. Should the beginner apply at
one Of the big riding academies in New
York for instruction. the first lesson
will begin with the !eading by a groom
Of a horse, bridled and saddled, into
the enter Of the ring. The rici1g mas
ter and the pupil take their stand close
by. and the former begins to explain
palnstakingly the various parts Of the
saddle and bride and their purposes.
Before anything further is attempted,
the pupil must be able to answer simple
questions in regard to the pommel and
the cantle. the curb and the snafle, and
to know the uses Of the two bits.

Hayfield Mower: With carloads OF
flowers, borrowed potted plants, and all

w~edding-this knotting of the pale faces,
at the Central church, Tuesday evening.
The groom had consumption and general
debility written all over him, and the
BRIDES bloodless face dropped on a stem
too weak to hold its colorless flower. Out
ragged nature got mad, and worked the
organ pedals. and a medley Of dead and
wedding marches beat time for weakness
and sickness, as they, arm in arm, walked
up the aisle to get their license to raise
the kind of sickly, puny, fretty, good-for-
nothing children, who are all the time
tumbling under the wheels of progress,

Dieting Fads.

Comments of a countess In London Out
look: The culinary fads Of ones friends
are becoming positively bewildering. Sew
eral girls l know drink nothing but hot
water at every meal. One friend OF mine
never has any breakfast, and mandates
me with pamphlets and treatises by
American quacks showing the folly Of
having food before lunch time. Sleep"
1 read, never makes anyone hungry. the
gnawing sensation in the morning which
people mistake for hunger is caused by
the Indigestion of the previous nights
dinner. Food will certainly stop this pain.
but only at the expense of further digest
i've trouble"
OF course every time we satisfy the
cravings of hunger we ms for all we
know, be laying up stores of future dis
comfort for ourselves: but on the whole
l think it is worth the risk. n personal
ly l would just as soon be dead as live on
a diet Of nut outlets, almond shape, brain
tea and Plasmon, which, according to
cea for all the digestive troubles Of life.
II certainly Is q fact tina, any one who
could digest and ENJOY such a menu must
be a most healthy and happy person. But
then, on the other hand. there are quite
n number of people in existence who pos
sess both these qualities without adhering
to a diet the chief components of which
form the staple food OF the inhabitants
Of the farm yard.
While it certainly Is a fact that most
of us eat a great deal more than we need,
L doubt If there is as much digestive
trouble" in tn world as these modern
franks you'd have US believe. If. how
ever, there Is. surely the cure Is more
likely to be found in moderation than in
ridiculous fads. IF there were no eating
without hunger and no drinking without
thirst said the late Mr.. Herbert Spencer,
"then would the system be but seldom
out OF order" 1t Is the people who real
lie this who are the despair of the doc
tors. Moderation n regularity Of food
and life alone keep that region in order
In which tho Chinese believe the soul re-
sides.

old Soldiers Story.

Sonoma, Mich, June 13.-That even

r:hle than bullets is the experience of
Delos Hutchins of this place. Mr..
Hutchins as n Union soldier saw three
years of service under Butler Barke
In the Louisiana swamps, and as n re-

that his hands and feet got all twisted
out Of shape, and how he suffered only

Fol twenty-five years he was in mis-
cry, then one lucky day his druggist
advised him to use Dodd's Kidney
Pills. OF the result Mr.. Hutchins
says:
The first two boxes did not help me
much, but l got two more, and before
L got them used up I was a great deal
better. I kept on taking them. and

He drummed on The table with his fin
gers a while before he spoke again.
Then. my lad. there Is but one thing
I can do, that is to send you away from
here at once. You can leave this place
tonight, seek out Tuskahoma, make your
way to Pensacola. thence to Havana,
where I warrant you will find ether oc-

credit you to Governor Frontenac in the
north
I chose Havana, there being the great
er prospect OF active service there. 1t
took the metSodical governor but brief
space to give me such letters as would
insure mo fitting reception from our
brave fellows at Pensacola. He placed
them in my hand, and I quietly rose to
bid him good night. and goodby. I would
not have ventured upon anything more
than a formal word of parting. for l had
the consciousness OF having done much to
forfeit his regard. But the old man
came over and put his arms about me as
he might a beloved son.
"Placide," he said. sit grieves me TO the
soul for you to leave ME. l love you.
boy, as I do my own flesh. You have
served me truly. always with affection

and ask you for no condolences not your

you were In Paris, and what he heard
from others Of your interview with the
king. Placide. my lad. even now 1t fires
blood to think of a boy of mine stand

by our enemies. and daring to tell the
truth. 1t was glorious. glorious, and 1t
