Expert Young Riders.

One OF the prettiest sights of Cen
trail Park is to see the children mount
their ponies, either at the Plaza
Square entrance or at the 18th ave-
nue. bride path. The start is never
accomplished without much petting
and sugar giving, which the ponies
expect and apparently enjoy, and it
all makes very pretty and interest
ing picture. The roads at Tuxedo,
Cedarhurst and Newport, too, are
frightened by merry groups of chill
dren riding gayly along, either Uith
riding master or grooms For riding
is one of the fayorite pastimes OF the
children of the rich, and it is such a
splendid exercise that parents who
can afford it generally see that their
children are initiated into it's myster-
les just as soon as they are big
enough to handle a pony. Not only
is riding the best possible exercise
for developing the body, but it de-
velops courage and intelligence as

and hold the reins properly is all inn
portant. One Of the greatest physical
benefits Of riding is perfect poise Of
body, but this only results from rid
ing properly. The little girls are
usually taught to ride astride instead
Of on the side saddle. They wear
divided skirts and have their boots
and puttees just like their small
brothers.
Happy indeed are these little folks
who grow up in the saddle, and it is
no wonder that many of them become
beautiful and expert riders at very
early age. Lorillard Taylor displays
wonderful daring and mastery for one
so young and diminutive. Miss Flora
Whitney. whose mother, as Gertrude
Vanderbilt, was an excellent eques-
trienne. is one Of the prettiest sights
to be seen on her morning rides at
Newport during the entire season.

The cat is, for its size, one of the
strongest animals. Dr. Huidekoper
who made a special study Of feline
anatomy commented on the large
and powerful muscles which are at
tached to the cats bones and which
form complete system Of springs
and levers. Muscles again enable the
eat TO withdraw its claws under the
protecting pads which prevent the
claws receiving injury when not in
use, says Home Notes.
The shoulder blade, arm and fore
arm Of tho cat lie at what is termed
close angles. and the jumps which
the cat can take at such enormous
distances are due to the great power
in the closed angles of the joints.

Rurlal al Sea.

Can the relatives Of person who
dies on ship at sea prevent the bu-
rial taking place at sea? This is a
question which is about to arise in a
concrete form In America. 1t ap-
pears that the wife Of DR.. Chalmers
Prentice Of Chicago. died on the
North German Lloyd liner Konigen
Luise soon after the steamer left Glib
ralter, and her body, as is alleged, was
buried at sea, in spite Of the protests
OF her daughter, says Home Chat.
Dr. Prentice has commenced an ac-
ton for damages against the COM
pany. Our English law books and re-
ports, the British Medical Journal
points out, are silent upon the ques-
ton whether the captain of a ship has
an absolute discretion in this matter

Rin Rears HaItIna Trains.

Many bears have been seen in the
North Mountain region during the last
month, and passengers on the Lehigh
Valleys Bowman's Greek branch
trains have had the pleasure of gaz-
ing at several of the animals. In each
instance only the excessive footing OF
the engine frightened them of the
railroad tracks
The other afternoon, while a pas
senger train was bound for Wilkes
Barre, Engineer Miller noticed mon
ster bear ON the track ahead of the
engine. He blew the whistle and rang
the bell, until finally the monster
bruin ambled slowly from the track,
clambered up the steep bank and
made his way into nearby apple
orchard. Engineer Miller claims that
the bear was the largest he ever saw,
and must have weighed about five
hundred pounds.-Allentown dispatch

OLD SOAKERS
Get Saturated With Caffeine.

When a person has used coffee for
a number OF years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see
whether or not that has been the
cause of the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala. says she
used coffee for about 40 years, and
for the past 20 years has had severe
stomach trouble. Il have been treat
ed by many physicians but all in
vain. Everything failed to give re-
lief. Was Frustrated for some time,
and came near dying. When I re-
covered sufficiently to partake of food

the cause of my troubles and stopped
using it, ! tried tea in it's place and
then milk but neither agreed with
me; then 1 commenced using Postum,
