As to AmazonS

Not a few fancy horseback riding
for women is comparatively new. To
be sure our great-grandmothers rode
on billions, but they were of day
when it was the fashion to be delicate.
Later the sex took up riding, sidewise
of course, but now many ride across
just as did the Amazons of old.
Though having the Amazon river for
namesake, these doughty DANES are
supposed to have come from the coun-
try about the Caucasus, their chief
seats being along a river which emp
ties into the Black sea. They invaded
at various times Thrace, Asia Minor,
Islands of the Aegean, Greece, Syria,
Arabia, Egypt and Libya.
The ninth labor of Hercules was to
take from them the girdle of the queen
of the AmaZons. 1t was a very I'M
pleasant affair, as you no doubt re-
member Instead of showing fight,
Hippolyta was sensible to his manly
charms and gave him her girdle with
out a struggle and even went boating
with him.
Juno took alarm, warned the ANA
IONS that their queen was being car
ried off, and they descended upon the
ship. Thinking Hippolyta had been
treacherous, Hercules slew her and
sailed away with the girdle.
So much for the Amazons.

LONG HELD IN HONOR
SEAMAN'S MAGAZINE OF AN.
GENT HISTORY.
Claims to Be the Oldest Religious
Publication of Its Kind i'm America
Famous for introduction of
Hymn That Lives.

Oldest of all religious magazines In
America is the Sailors Magazine,
published by the American Seamen's
Friend society, New York Started in
1928, it has appeared without Interrupt
ton ever since. Its monthly issue has
been printed by the same family from
father to son for twenty-five or TWEEN
ty-elght years. For 60 years it's cover
was unaltered
In this magazine appeared for the
first time the world-famous hymn.
Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me-" 1t was
written by e. Hopper, then pastor of
the little old Church of the Sea and
Land, its editice still standing, but al
most unknown to this generation of
New Workers. Colonel Roosevelt's
hrst speech, made when he was
boy, is also recorded here Romances
are traceable through its pages-true
stories of adventure, heroism and
tragedy that make up the life of the
sea-
One such story is behind the brief
account of the loan libraries sent to
sea by the dowager duchess of Aber-
deem after her visit to America. The
present earl of Aberdeen lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland, had a brother. This
brother was the real heir to the title,
but long years ago he came to this
country from England, and shipped
from here as a common sailor under
the name of Gordon. He rose to the
position Of mate; but shortly after
that was drowned at sea- His mother
came here and gave in his memory
the libraries that today are multiplied
and sent over the ocean to as great
a number as the funds of the society
permit
The magazine incarnates also his
tory of the change in the usage of
English. 1t is a most valuable account
of the moral tone of the past. One
of the chapiains of the United States
navy says in an article which the
old issues hold, that he wishes they
would fog the men forward, instead
of aft for the reason that it disturbed
his evening meditations.
Probably the first account of the
free churches in Sweden was pub
lished in the magazine. These
churches are now grown to be rivals
of the State church there.
1t was started, this brave little
herald of the sailors life, with ESQ
subscribers, all in New York city. At
the end of the first year, 1929, it had
gathered, in Boston, Philadelphia and
Charleston, S. c., 1900. It's Oldest sub
scriber today is Asher Sheldon Of
New Haven, Conn, who has just cele-
brated his one hundredth birthday. He

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cof-
fee is used In large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee
A n. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
My son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
I was always fond Of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous I could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was in such a con-
dition l thought I might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and l was almost desperate 1t was
about this time we decided to quit cof-
fee and use Postum, and have used it
ever since. | am in perfect health.
