THE ATLAS HABIT.
New York Mail.l

zone paper in the home is worth a
thousand in the highway" is the Even
ing Nails motto. One paper in the home
is worth 1000 in the highway, if it is
read, as it may be and should be, with
an atlas at your elbow. The paper you
read along the highway cannot be read
with any assistance or illumination
from a map, for none but book agents
and tourists carry maps with them.
When the evening lamp is lit and the
evening newspaper is spread before you,
take your atlas from its shelf and have
it where you and the good wife and the
children can refer to it, 1t may be best
that it should be a small volume rather
than the mighty tome whose very bulk
and multiplicity Of maps may intimidate
a possibly languid purpose of self-im-
pFOVemeut.
The evening paper contains news from
all the world. and that is reason enough
why you should have the maps of the
world within reach. 1t Is good way to
study geography. and if YOU do not care
to study geography. it is an attractive
help to reading the news People do
not look at maps as much as they
should. Have you located Mombasa,
where Roosevelt landed the other day,
on the African east coast?
We know of one good woman, reader
OF the news, of more than ordinary in
telligence, who at the outset of the trou-
BILE with Spain could not tell where Cuba
was, and was surprised that this coun-
try should be conducting a campaign off
the coast of Africa. Many of US knew
more than that, but few Of US had any
good idea of the location or extent of
the Philippines until Dewey made his
coup there, although those islands, as
the seat Of an insurTectiOn, had been fig
uring right along in the news of the
day.
The atlas is a necessity. a help and an
inspiration in any matter touching the
near or the far east, and Just now the
east is the seat of important happen
mgs. Do you know whether it Is the
Dardanelles or the Bosphorus that con-
meets with the Black Sea Have you
located Saloniki and identified it with
the city to which Paul wrote the epistle
TO the ThessalOnians, or realized that
the Macedonian cry, Come over and
help us" has been reversed and the
Macedonian troops are helping the
Turkish TefOTmers?
Do you know that Adana, where the
Christians were killed is very near
Tarsus, whose chief citizen, Saul. i'm his
unfeSenefate days, assisted in the kill
ing of celebrated Christian? Do you
remember that the North Persian city
of Meshed. lately occupied by Russian
troops, contains the bones of the good
HarOun al Raschid? Do you realize
that the beleagUeTed city of Tabriz,
where constitutional Persia is making
a desperate stand against the tergiver-
sating shah, was founded by Haroun's
torsaken wife, the answer of Allah to
a WOman's tears" has 100000 inhab-
ltants' and commands a caravan trade
east and west Of $12000,0 900?
These things a good atlas will tell
you, and they are pleasant to know and
not unilnpOrtant The evening news
paper and the map habit go together.

ksTRtDE OR SIDE SADDLE?

Ii is natural, perhaps, that the ladies
should divide on a question that in
wolves the divided skirt. Just now there
is a keen revival of the old problem of
whether women should ride astride or
seek health and exercise in the side sad
die. one of the reasons for the renewal
of interest in a matter which many be-
lieved for all time settled is the bill in
PRODUCED in the Georgia legislature by a
country doctor prohibiting women rid
ing "cross." In all parts of the cOun-
try newspaper reporters have been sent
to get the opinions of ladies with re
spect to the mode Of riding that should
prevail. Doctors, too. have been asked
about it, and, much to the disgust of the
adherents of the astride fashion, the
most Of them declare that the man
saddle is injurious to the health of
women.
In Chicago the line is sharply drawn
between the fair equestriennes. Miss
Ellen Rasmussen is thoroughly convinced
that the cross system is the better by
far, and Mrs Jarvis Hunt says that the
garb of the asuide girl is perfectly aw-
full Miss Rasmussen says:
1T is simply silly to say that riding
astride is injurious to health. Go out
on the boulevards and count the num-
Der of wives and daughters of physi-
clans who ride that fashion, and you
will be surprised. And surely our Chi
cage doctors know as much as the pTac-
tttioners of Atlanta. Our doctors would
not lend their aid to such a foolish bill.
Riding cross is the healthful and nat
ural way for a woman. It is the best
and only way. 1t is her best protection
against fatal accident in being thrown.
She has a splendid opportunity to land
on her feet and prevent herself from
becoming tangled in the harness. What
chance has she riding sideways? II the
horse becomes unmanageable, the
chances are the woman side rider will
be thrown on the side of her head OF
back, and she is likely to break her neck
or injure her spine.
There is absolutely nothing immodest
about it, and the smart costumes the
women riders wear now attract as little,
if not less. attention than the old-fash-
toned riding skirt The divided skirts
worn by Chicago women are comfort
able as we'll as pretty, and excite no
comment among intelligent people"
Contrary to this. Mrs. Jarvis says il
lit just as. easy to ride side saddle, and
much more graceful, and I do not see
any particular sense of women trying
10 ape men in their method of riding
when they cannot wear the same sort OF
a costume"
In order that this mooted question
may finally and forever be settled. why
not have the ladies ride neither cross
nor sidewise, but standing at full height
on the horses rump, after the manner

oUR COURTS TOO SLOW.

The length of time required to try
Patrick Calhoun for bribery, which re-
suited In a hung jury. is a fair sample
OF the system of administering justice
In the United States. The recent trial
Of Ella Gingles also shows the great
latitude allowed lawyers for the de
Tense in bringing outside matters into
a case and besmirching the names of
innocent persons. The Thaw case is
still with US and the columns of the
daily papers are loaded with the story
that has been Tehashed so many times.
Cleared of murder by reason of insan-
ity Thaw now desires to be declared
sane and set free, If that is to be the
ultimate result the plea of the "unwrit-
ten law made by Mr., Delmas should
have been accepted i'm the first place.
Then there's the case Of the Tennessee
night riders, who were convicted Of
numbering a man in cold blood After
an exhaustive hearing. which ended in
conviction, the supreme court has
stepped in and ordered a new trial on
account Of some rs not having been
crossed or some is having been al
lowed to go into the record indicted.
The delays incident to a trial i'm this
country do not obtain in Europe or
court justices of New York, Judge &c
rard. is visiting in London, and the
other day he sat on the bench Of the
British court of appeals with Lord
Chief Justice Williams and the other
distinguished members of the court
He was much impressed with what he
saw and heard and was outspoken in
praise of the methods abroad.
There is a great difference between
their system and ours" he said. This
court Of appeals corresponds pretty
closely to our appellate division of the
supreme court. I heard a divorce case
there the other day that would take
about six months to settle in New
York. 1t took these English judges
just about two hours.
In our courts, contending counsel
would have handed in printed plead
ings the size of a book. quoting argu-
ment, evidence and no end of prece-
dents these judges would have to di-
gest, and then. when they had heard
the case, they would need about five
months to prepare written decisions.
Following the English method they
heard the evidence and verbal argu-
ment from counsel, they consulted a
few books on precedent and the tech
nical points bearing on the case right
there on the bench, and then each
judge gave his verbal decision and the
thing was settled"
Asked why we cannot administer jus
tice the same way in the United States
he replied:
simply because we are mad on tech
nicalities- We put technical points
above justice. We are stiII following
the system they had here 200 years
ago, but we are coming to a period Of
reform. Judges. I believe. in the future
are going to be allowed a freer hand
and the technical points made sub
servient to pure justice Here they
seem to brush aside technicalities al
most entirely and go straight for the
true facts of the case and give judg-
ment accordingly.
The courts OF the United States need
reforming. and the bar associations
should lead in the work.
