Cross Saddle Riding.

What do | think of the advanced
style of feminine riding, and the habit
with divided skirt repeated a widely
known horsewoman the other day
We'll, | don't care for them ON tie
score of appearance but ;here is much
10 be said in favor. The side saddle is
hard on a horse, is seldom safe and
keeps the BODY in an unnatural position
sim there have been women who knew
no other kind. and although they spent
gocdly portion of each day on horse
back, they were generally women Of
health. oftentlmes women of beauty, in
face and form.
Some years ago the wife of physi-
ciau iii a fashionable little Vermont re-
sort startled natives and visitors alike
by appearing with her husband ON a
saddle made exactly like the one on
his horse. On each side of the animal
was the regulation scant skirt, and when
sho dism0unted there were curious eyes
to note the deft manner in which she
connected the buttons on one side with
the holes on the other, thus making a
conventional skirt. Day after day the
daring lnstigator Of Il new fashion of
riding III the town was watched with un-
usual interest, and finally it was learned
that the doctor was responsible for his
Wifa'S act.
That style of riding was the only
kind he permitted after he thought he
discovered that the cramped position on
the side saddle was injuring her health.
At all events she seemed to thrive on
the new style. and that was enough for
nun. The fashion has come to stay,
tmnk, because the comfort of the seat
appeals most strongly to women.
There is really nothing shocking in
the sight. Last summer | met camp
ing party riding through the mountains
OF New Hampshire. and all the women
were astride the backs of their horses.
and there were no skirts TO preserve Il
Semblance of prupricty, but rather Il
frank display of sbnpcly limbs clothed in
boomers There was nothing shocking
in that sight. either-tue whole party
bore the stamp Of wealth and refinement
combined with an unusual amount of
sense, and the procession seemed in har.
mony with the place
Such unconventional dress would not
dc for the city, of course, and certainly
wonld not be worn here. By the women
| saw in that party. Bun the easy FASH
ion in which they rode over those dam
gerous roads gave me the impression
that the firm seat was the result of long
practice, in divided skirts presumably
Riding is the best of exercise, and some
women have been content TO cling to the
fashion of their mothers day. But if
there has been found in it menace to
health and symmetry, | can see reform
looming up in the near future
Habit accustoms us to many things
We We're shocked at first by HE wheel

ankles, but later when it was declared
that safety demanded still more Of an

From Exile.

From Exile,
Cail to me, call to me, fields of popped
wheat
Purple thistles by the road call me to re
turn!
Now a thousand shrilier threats echo down
the street
And | cannot hear the wind camping in
the fern.
Little leaves beside the trail, dance your
way to town,
Till you find your brother here who re-
members yet:
For though a river runs between and the
bridge is down,
I've a heart that's roaming and a soul
that wont forget.
A sun squats on the house tops but his
face is hard and dry;
A rain walks up and down the streets, but
her voice is harsh
Sunlight is a different thing where the swat
lows fly,
And rain-tongues sing with sweeter voice
when they're on the marsh
Once thousand bending blades stopped TO
let me pass,
When l sped barefooted through your
crowding lines
Whisper to me gently in the language of
the grass,
How / watched the crows of night nest
among the pines
Still the golden pollen smokes, silver runs
the rain,
Still the timid mists creep out when the
sun lies down
oh, ! am weary waiting to return to you
again,
So take a pale, familiar face out beyond
the town.

to the Secretary OF the Navy, calling at
tention to the reduction in the estimates
of the bureau of ordnance made by the

more than $120CO,O0O has been cut out Of
the estimates and he described the condi-

there Is not now, and will not be, any re-

There will be no reserve guns, torpedoes
