YOUNG NOODLES.^
His Terrible Time Trying- to Loso
- art Umbrella.
, Young Noodles has often been heard
to say that a gentleman's! umbrell:
should always bo in its neatness and
oven in tho careful manner of its roll
in?;, an outward awg visihlo sign of his
own inward and spiritual grace?that it
should be regarded, in a word, as a most
important articlo of dross. On rainy
days, at all events, the man who is well
hooted and well gloved is im: we il at?
tired, notwithstanding the Fijench say?
ing, unless ho carries a proper pnra
pluie. Noodles himsolf has been moro
than once seen to seek shelter from a
storm in a doorway, in order to avoid
undoing his umbrella and thus spoiling
its walking-stiek-liko symmetry.
The other day, however, while hasten?
ing down E street to meet an important
engagement, ho was overtaken by a

squall, which turned his umbrella in?
side oat and transformed it into a hope?
less wreck in less time than it takes to
tell the tale, says the Washington Star.
He dodged into a shop and wailed there
five minutes until the shower had passed
and tho sun shoab out again. While
thus delayed ho wrapped th?. umbrella
up into some sort of shupo and stood it
conspicuously near top door; then bo
walked back to the rear of the store and
looked over the stock,
"I'll give somebody an opportunity t j
steal it," said Noodles to himsolf. "it
would never do for me to he seen walk?
ing down the street with an umbrella
like that.''
Rut, to his disgust, the umbrella was
j still there by the doorway when he
I came back, lie took it reluctantly and
walked out upon the sidewalk. A very
pretty girl chanced to pass by at the!mo?
ment and bowed to him; he was Sure
that her oye fell upon the umbrella in
bis hand, and that she smiled slyly a.t it.
"I must get rid of it in some way,]' he
thought. '"Tho best way will be togo
into this saloon and leave it behind
me."
So Noodles turned into a plxco thai
was advertised as a gin miii by the word
'?Cafe*' in big letters on tho put .. Lo. Re
took a dose of whisky with cracked ice
in a. champagne glass, and leaned the
umbrella up against the bar iy-b.il >'he
drank. Then, having paid far tho bev?
erage, "he started-to go out without ;'.? I
umbrella;but.unfortuaai ly, hetouc'm ; j
it with bis foot asho turned to de?
part, and it. fell clown v. Uli a most em?
barrassing crash. Tho noiso attracted
tho attention of the next customer, who j
picked the utnurclia up and i.:' I p ditcly:
"Is this yours, sir?"'
Noodles gritted his teeth and tecept
cd tho umbrella with pretended thanks, ?
"1 must di?pse of this awful thing,"
bo reflected, as he let fiy the sere :i
door of the saloon behind him. "To j
deposit it in the gutter is not practica?
ble. Perhaps the host plan will be to
abandon it in a barber's t,Liop. 1 have I
missed ray engagements already, and I
may as well get shaved."
So Noodles descended into a "tonsorial
parlor,'" and reposed his graceful person
in a reclining chair, while the colored
man in attendance tucked him in with a
sheet fastened about his neck and a few
napkins, lie had taken care to leave
tho umbrella, as he entered, in the raclj
by the door, believing that, on such a
showery, day, some one would be sure to
walk off with it.
While he underwent tho scraping op?
eration he kept a stealthy eye upon
it, but it remained undisturbed. The
timo came fur the barber to say: "Bay
rum, sir?" but no one had seemed to
'care to appropriate that umbrella.
"Give mo a hair cut," said Noodles, !
still hopeful.
The shearing consumed half an hour
more, but sfciil tho umbrella had not j
found anybody to steal it. So Noodles
slid oat of the chahv tipped tho barber
with a silver quarter, was helped on
w?th his coat, adjusted his necktie, paid
his check and had actually opened the
door half way to tro when the colored
razor manipulator touched him on the
shoulder and remarked:
"Don't fcrgit your umbrella, sab.*'
"It isn't my umbrella," replied Nood- j
les in desperation.
"Dis am do one you brought in, sah." 1
"I tell you you're mistaken; I had no
umbrella. 1 never saw that thing be?
fore. I don't want it, and I won't take j
it. To blazes with it, any way!"
"M'sicu is in error, if he will allow :
me so to say," interrupted tho cashier.
"Zat umbroll is ze one 1 .saw him come
in wiz a few moments ago. Wo would
not permit SPsieu to rob himself of bees
property.''
Noodles didn't say another word. Ho
just looked remarkably savage, and,
taking the umbrella, marched out.
In the first half block he walked ho |
met three of his friends in succession,
and ho was convinced that each ono of
them took notice of the umbrella. Then
an inspiration seized him, and, stand?
ing the ill-omened articlo hastily and
unobtrusively up against an iron rail?
ing, he strodo swiftly en, not looking
behind. Just as hp vttfis chuckling and
congratulating himself that ho had dis?
posed of the infernal thing at last, be
beard a small boy's cry behind him of:
"Hi, miseer! You've left your beimber

"Euphuos" of John Lyly. The essence
of this book has long since coased to
possess any but a musty flavor, but
when it was presented to tho author's
contemporaries it went straight to their
hearts. The title of the book Is as fol-;
lows:
' " 'Euphucs,' tho anatomy of wyt * j
* * wherein aro contained tho do-;
lights that wyt followed) in his youth '
by the pleasr.untnesso of love, and tho
happynesso he reapcth in ajm by tbe
perfectness of wisedome,'- London. 1579.
This titlo smacks of didacticism, and,
didactic tho bcol: certainly is. In Mr. |
Jusserand's words, Euphucs is a young j
Athenian, a contemporary not of Per-1
icles, but of Lyly, who goes to Naples,
thence to England, to study men and
governments.
Human nature, as Shakespeare knew
so well, was the same in tho sixteenth .
century as it has been, and will be, in
any other. Other writers no sooner bo
came aware of Lyly's success than they
proceeded to follow in his footsteps,
and soon wo have a whole family of
Enphuistic novels, their progenitors
being Robert Greene and Thomas
Lodge; the innumerable other imitat?
ors need not.?bo specified. Grceno
wrrrto *'Pftndostr?,'' or, as it was" known
t&tem flTBS Bttdislred. "Dcraatug and
L'awnia." This has tho special intoreat
of having furnished Shakespeare with
much of the plot for "A Winter's Talo."
In Itself it is a romarkahlo work?re?
markable for tho ludicrous geographical
knowledge- displayed in it, for tho
mighty number of adventures through
which hero and- heroino are mado to
pass and for tho .completeness of tho
Euphuistic apparel with which it is
decked out. It even surpasses Lyly's
masterpiece at timos, out-IIeroding
Herod in tho multitude of similes
used. Thomas Lodge, in turn, fixed
his owa reputation and laid tho om?
nivorous Shakespeare under anothor
debt by publishing his "Kosalynde," a
tale whoso ancestry, indeed, may bo
traced back to tho middlo ajres. but
which Lodge practically gave to tho
world. In giving it be gave us a series
of love adventures too impossible to af

their very impossibility
There remains yet one more form of
Elizabethan literature in which wo
must recognize the seeds of our modem
productions, tho picaresque or realistic
novel Tho term picaresque was in- j
vented to discribo tbose novels which
celebrated tho ups and downs of tho '
professional adventurer; it signified a J
book whose pages reeked with the odors
of tho camp, tho inn and tho highway.
It originated In Spain where tho novels
"Lazirillodo Tonnes" and "Guzman do
Alfaracho" represented a certain de- ]
cidedly realistic phase, of literaturo j
which ha i to bo classified. In England |
the earliest writer to work this vein of
essentially popular romance was
Thomas Nash, a contemporary of Sid?
ney Nash has ever been reckoned
among tho Elizabethan poets, but tho
work which especially entitles him to
notice in this place is far from poetical,
a novel called "Tho Unfortunate
Traveller; or the Lifo of .lack Wilton."
Better tli an any thing, Nash was a fa
ruous wit. After bis death it was said
of him in a comedy written by some
friendly admirer
Let all his fauitea slccpe with tits moura.'ull
chest.
And liiere lorevcr with his ashes rest.
His styte was wlttie, though it hail some pall.
Some things tu.- might have mended, so may
all;
Vet ibis I say that for a mother will
Few men have ever sren tho IlUe of it.
Closely connected with Nash in the
history of this time is Thomas Dekker
a prolific writer of pi ays and p-.imnnlots
Dekker wielded a brilliant pen and was
superbly realistic He and Nash stood
together as the ancestors of Defoo

Neither tho frequent perils nor the
continual discomfort of men who work
underground can ever bo appreciated by
us who live every day in tho sunshino
A Pennsylvania letter to the New York
Times describes an awful experience of
one Frager, a Scranton collier, who was
caught by a falling mass of coal, and
lay in his living tomb for nearly sixteen
hours.
Frager was horrified to find himself
shut in by tho great, black mass. As
the "squeeze" continued, his prison
grew smaller and smaller, and from tho
continual ominous cracking of tho coal
overhead, ho expected every moment to
be crushed to death.
By great good fortuno two drills lay
within his reach. Ho seized them and
managed to Bs them crosswise in the
corner of tho chamber directly above
him. They helped to support tbo super?
incumbent mass, and did their work
well, although Frager half expected
them to break under tho tremendous
pressure.
All about him, meantime, tho great
bowlders of coal kept pressing closer
and closer. Both his feet were caught,
and, as the slow and fearful hours went
by, he felt his limbs growing numb as
the circulation of tho blood ceased
Little by littlo bo had been crowded
into a half-silting posture, and as the
sharp edges and corners of the coal
drove deeper and deeper into his flesh
ho felt as if he wero resting on spikes
In this terrible condition ho remained,
with only the faintest hope of rescue.
The crash that buried Frager alive in
this way, cut oil all communication be?
tween him and his assistant. Anthony
Lavin. Lavin was on the outside of tho
"fall," and immediately ran for help. A
gang of twelve men hastened to the
placo and at once began cutting through
the thick wall that separated them from
the poor man's narrow prison.
The chance of eis being found alive
grew all the time less and less, but the
brave fellows kept at the work without
flinching, though their own lives wero
every moment in danger.
As they mado their way through the
wall itbecamo necessary to proceed with
greater and greater caution, precious as
tho moments-were, lest they should un?
wittingly start a bowlder that would
crush I? rager in its fall.
At last, however, tho wall was pierced,
and the buried man. still alive and able
to speak, though terribly bruised, and
nearly suffocated with foul gases and
coal dust, was taken out and hastily re?
moved to tho mouth of the mine.
Rough men wept for joy, and Frager's
wiTo and children, who ha 1 !>een in an !
agony of suspense for almost a night
and a day, wero fairly beside themselves I
as they clung about him.

his rider.
In town riding is a luxury, but it is a
luxury that each day is more widely
shared. Hiding schools increase in num?
ber, and tho system of teaching is now
carried to high perfection. No ono
would contnnd that pcoplocan not learn

to run tue run
inevitably wrong and right ways of rid?
ing. To thi ? end it may bo well to ex?
plain some! ii;:.-,- of the system of teach?
ing followed at the riding academics.
Tbe firsttbing a novice is taught is
to mount,which wo will dismiss in a
few words, as the process must be fa?
miliar to most readers. She stands on
the ground, or on a stage; with her
right hand she clasps tho pommel; her
left foot she places in tho left hand of
her escort or teacher, whose right arm
is placed about her waist, or under her
left arm. She rests on her right foot.
At one, two, she rises on the ball of her
foot, at thfi e (fives a spring which, if
it is successful, lands her in tho saddle.
In the saddle the reins aro nut into
both of her hands, and her horse, which
has only a snaffle, is led with a leading
strap around the ring until tho rider ac?
quires her seat. She must, sit lightly
and erect, shoulders square, and leaning
neither too far front or back. The rea?
sons aro obvious. If she rides too far
forward, an unlucky stnrablo would
send her on her head; if sbo leans too
far back, she loses something in con?
trol of her horse, Both elegance and
perfect balance demand an upright seat
Her right leg is thrown around tho
upright pommel, and by liyhtlv pressing
tho horse beneath tho pommel assists
her seat. The left log falls at an an^le,
tho knee projecting, and tho ball of tho
left foot presses the stirrups. The
length of the stirrup depends on her
length of log, and Is adjustpd as seems
easiest, which is, of course, best for tho
rider. The length of tho bridle rein,
the first lesson.
which should bo neither too long nor
too short, is regulated alSo by the
length of arm.
Having trained her seat, sbo is now
I given a full bridle, that is to say, a
curb is added to tho snaffle, and sbo
! holds the reins in ono hand. The other
is occupied by her whip?usually a ero33
in which there is no actual scrvico be
| yond that of giving of her hand some?
thing .o do. She is now taught to guide.
Horses in riding schools aro trained to
guido by the nock, but as they arc used
by so many different riders they are, in
fact, more difficult to guide than the
horse of which tho rider is tho fortunate
possessor. To the horso well trained
tho slightest pressure on tho reins is
sufficient, and he is spared that torture
of tho mouth which careless riders aro
apt to inflict, keeping their horses
thereby restive and irritated.
To ride a trotting horso satisfactorily
to ono's self training is necessary. As
in swimming, thoro is a knack which, ,
once caught, makes easy an otherwise
uncomfortable performance. This
knack is embodied in keeping the riso j
in the saddle in perfect unison with tho
horse's forward movement. And it is
clone by pressing the ball of tbo foot
against the stirrups, which gives tho
required riso, and at tho same time
lightly pressing the pommel leg against
the horso to keep the body straight.
Tho amount of rise-is adjusted by the
curved pommol which restrains by its
curve the stirrup log beyond a certain j
distance.
The conventional habit Is derived
Irom tho English. It is njado of Ann,
iBtottt cloth, with t? short, twfnted btjivt
u.?wii(! in ine Dacic m two narrow
tails. Tho skirt from the left side in
front around to tho right side in the
back just clears the ground when tho
ridor Is standing erect Tho rest of the
distance, which includes tho part ovor
tho pommel knee, the skirt is longer.
Tho guide to the length is tho rider
seated, when the skirt should make a
straight line across the horse's body. In
tht old-fasbloned skirt this line Is diago?
nal. When walking this surplus length
is looped up. The skirt has no gathers.
It is fitted across tho back just as are a
man's trousers.
There is groat rivalry among the fash
ionablo tailors In riding skirts. Each
has his own design, and this Is nsually
legally protected. One of these Is now
patenting a new skirt in Washington,
of which nothing more cart bo now said
than that it is tho same length all tho
way round, and is designed to provont
the habit catching on Ihe pommel in
caso a ridor is thrown, which It is al
lcgod Is tho difficulty with the English
skirt.
Underneath the habit aro worn trous?
ers, strapped down aver tho neat boot.
These garments, however, aro yielding
beforo knickerbockers and riding boots',
and one of tho riding teachers is author?
ity for the statement that tights warn
with riding lwotn aro far preforable to
trousors. Tho season has introduced
novelties in riding bodies. Tho latest
are jacket-shaped, and aro cut away fe
disclose waistcoats that aro made e?
actly as thoso or men. Women whocan
afford the luxury have different waiat
coats for tho samo habit Tho summer
allows wider latitudo in habits, which
aro made of lighter cloth. Norfolk
jackets aro thoroughly en regie for coun?
try wear. Corduroy skirts with Nor?
folk jackets defy mud and weather.
Straw hats, black and white, with a
gold hand around them, roplaco tho con?
ventional silk hat and the popular
derby.
Let no ono bo at all exorcised about
changing their habits in order to rido
cposs saddle. There is not tho slight?
est danger that the necessity will arise.
About a dozen years ago tho samo agita?
tion was agitated and with tho usual
result. Natureis protty apt to look after
her own. and tho fact that women in
civilized life ride ss they do and persist
in It in the teeth of all the dreadful
consequences predicted by the reform?
ers, is pretty suro proof that it is not
done without a reason. That women in
South America and Japan rido cross sad?
dle is of but little consequence, they do
so unconsciously; the girl in tho pa?k is
self-conscious and that makes ail tho
difference in the world.
As to the physical consequences one
may bo pardonod for drawing somewhat
on personal experiences. At eight years
old 1 was taught to ride as ducks are
taught to swim, by being placed on a
Canadian pony. From that time until
bixteen 1 rode usually twice a day, and
there were few methods of riding, ex?
cept standing on bare back, of which I
have not had some experience. A3 a
child 1 frequently rodo twenty milc3 a
day, and there aro those who will re'
member, witlrout any loss of activity
afterward, and without ever having suf?
fered from any of the ills threatened
thoso who ride as women do.
Here it is not uncommon for parties
to ride to tho athletic grounds at Travia
Island, eighteen miles distant, lunch
and return within four hours without
fatigu?. The experienced rider knows
how, by chango of gait, to jivo rest to
both Irorsolf and horse. After a long
level trot tho brealc into a canter is as
resting as would be absofoito repose.
"Moreover, the aesthetic sense of Amer?
ican women is sufficiently alert to keep
them from riding eross-saddlo. The
English costume designed for these
daring equestriennes oonsists in trous?
ers and a species of nowmarket When
mounted tho coat divides and covers
each leg. To keep In placo aro straps
around tho leg. On dismounting the
coat is buttoned down the front, and a
flap conceals tho division in tho back.
Tho clfect is not attractive. Tho ac?
cordion divided skirt is too frivolous
and no moro tempting to the oye. Tbo
only really pretty sort of cross-saddle
costume is one designed for hunting,
with boots; tights and a jaunty coat, a
costume which looks as it if might
havo been borrowed from tho Grand
Duchess at the Casino.

OUT OF THE FOAM.
A Little Body reclaimed from the Sea
and JUut-lnrt by Kind Hands.
Wo drew tho boat up on the sandy
shore, writes a New York Sun corre?
spondent, and then walked across the
peninsula, which was hero about aquar
ter of a mile wide, to View tho tremen?
dous sea rolling in. There was a north
caster blowing, and the ocean as far out
as ono could see was boiling and foam?
ing. The tide was on tho flood, and as
wo stood thcro looking into the raging
surf, with tho gale almost flinging us
down at times, a dark object appeared
in tho midst of tho foam. It was
whirled and tossed and buffeted for
threo or four minutes, and then a great
wave brought it in and flung itupoD
tho wet sands at our feet.
While the rest of us started back aft
tho sight, tho bronzed-faced old fisher?
man dashed forward and gathered it up
and retreated behind a sand-hill. We
followed, and as we gathered about him
he knelt on the sands and removed his
hat. It was tho body of a child?a lit?
tle girl not over four or five years old.
No, not the body, but the bones?a
skeleton wrapped in a dress and jacket
There was little moro than bones. It
had evidently been buried in tbe'Sands
for a long time, and some chango of the
current had cut It out and brought it
ashore.
"Somebody's heart aches!" whispered
the old fisherman, as he looked away
from us.
Ayei But whose? When did it hap?
pen? And where? There was no one
to telL This poor body bad been
searched for?wept over?prayed rbr?
given up to God at last A world of sor?
row had crept into some mother's heart.
A father's lips had quivered as be
thought of her fate.
"Her soul is up tberel" whispered the
old man, as he pointed heavenward;
"but we will give the little body rest
down here."
And with bits of boards be scooped out
a resting place high above the sweep Of
tho tide and laid the bones away. Above
them we placed a board as a guide,
should circumstances ever direct a

A DUTY TO SO?HSKIP.
It is surprising that people will use
a common, ordinary pill when they
can secure a valuable English on"

sick-headache and all liver troubles.
They are small, sweet, easily taken,
and do not gripe.
WE CAN AND DO

for it has been fully demonstrat id to
the people of this country that it i? su?
perior to all other preparations for
blood Diseases. It is a positive cure
for syphilitic poisoning, Ulcers, Erup?
tions and Pimples, it purifies the
whole system and thoroughly builds
up the constitution. Sold by Hud
well Christian & Barbec.
A CHILD KILLED
Another child killed by Hie use
of opiates given in the form of sooth
imr syrup. Why mothers give heir
c lildren such deadly poison is sur?
prising when they'can relievo the
child of ith peculiar troubles by using
Dr. Acker's Baby Soother. It con?
tains no opium or morphine. Sold by
Hud well, Christian & Barbae.
Iwtillr* Have Tried It.
A number of my lady customers
