THE SIDE-SADDLE.
Much Talk an to IVlittlier Women Should
Not Abandon It foe the Cross-Saddle.
A fierce controversy is raging in
California as to whether women should
not abandon the old side-saddle, and
use the cross-saddle, like men.
Many have already adopted the
Innovation, which was suggested by
the experience of cyclists. As usual
in such matters, th< re has been a great
deal of nonsense pi luted in the papers
as to the difficulty of a suitable cos- !
tume for riding cror s-saddle. Of course i
there are familiar forms of dress that
lend themselves admirably to riding in
this way.
For a girl or woman to ride cross
saddle is, however, not an innovation,
strictly speaking. Until the present
century, riding in this way was not
unusual. Theie are letters extant
from the great Emj ress Maria Theresa
to her daughter, Q ieen Marie Antoin
ette, written about 1775, advising her
to give up riding, especially riding
cross-saddle.
Queen Victoria was an excellent
horsewoman in her younger days, and
it is recorded a3 v. beautiful sight when,
shortly before the Crimean War, she
reviewed the troop 3 at the Chobham
Camp, on horseback, wearing a scarlet
jacket, made like a general officer’s
coat, and a hat with a general officer’s
plumes.
Glove-Fitting lUbbons.
Upon the fit and style of the corset
will depend much of the smartness of
the coming spring and summer gowns.
The day of loose blouses has passed,
and the molded bodice, not tight, but
perfect, will be the required waist for
elegant dressing upon and after Easter
tide.

brie. The ribbou ccrset was first made
in Paris, but it has been re-created in
this country. Seven-inch ribbon is
used, and each section has four lengths
overlapping ingenisusly, so that the
stay, when worn, incloses the figure as
a glove. Plaid ribbon, in gayly con
trasted lines, is seen oftener than
solid colorings.
These luxuries are sold even to wo
men of finer taste. To women who afew
years ago would have expressed indig
nation if such proaounced colorings
had been submitted to them. Twenty
five dollars is the price of a ribbon cor
set of this sort. It is out of question
for those of us who are in moderate
circumstances. But if one has seen the
smartest things she has a guide for ex
penditures within ter means.
A Good MuyonnaiNe.
To make a good mayonnaise dress
ing put a quarter cif a teaspoonful of
dry English mustard in a deep soup
plate, add the yoke of a raw egg and
with a wooden fork mix these ingre
dients to a paste. Take a bottle of
olive oil in your left hand and with
the fork in the right hand stir in the
oil as you slowly drop it with the
mixed mustard and egg. Keep drop
ping the oil and stirring the mixture
briskly till it becomes thick and
waxy, then thin it a little with a few
drops of tarregon vinegar. Again re
sume dropping in the oil and stirring
it till the mayonnaise gets stiff again,
then again thin it with the vinegar.
Repeat this procell until you have
the required anvourt of dressing. Be
sure it is the proper thickness. Stand
the dressing on tbs ice in the soup
plate until ready to serve. Never put
salt or pepper in a mayonnaise. Those
condiments make a different dressing
which is not a true mayonnaise.
She TraiiiM llace Horsed.
Miss Loretta Elliott of Orient, Maine,
is the owner of manj fast horses, which
she raised and trained herself in her
father’s stables. She is a well-educat
ed, cultivated young woman, and the
fact that she recently won a race on
the track at Pottsville, Me., has by no
means taken from her popularity. She
is an accomplished horsewoman, and at
the same time as aweet and maidenly
as she can be. The horses love her
and follow her around like dogs.
A Dos Named “ Saule.”
“Susie, Susie, come in this instant!”
called the woman standing on the
doorstep. And the passers-by, looking
around the Childress street, saw, aftei
a moment, a small black-and-tan dog
trotting up the steps of the house—
perhaps the first cne of her kind to
be distinguished by the name of Susie.

t NEW WEDDING OUTFIT.
Hluts for Prospective llrldefl with More
Friend. Than Wealth. |
These hints are for the prospective
bride with more friends than wealth.
Let her invite her girl friends to meet
together regularly, one afternoon In
each week, when the time may be spent
in preparing your bridal lingerie. Let
each girl bring with her some sewing
similar to yours; or. If preferred, some
embroidery or other work.
Select by vote an interesting book,
and let each girl in turn spend twenty
minutes in reading it aloud, then pass
it to the next in alphabetical order. It
will surprise you after a few weeks to
find how much knowledge you have
gained, if good judgment has been
used in the selection of the books, and
, also how greatly you have Improved
' in your reading. A great deal of work
i may be accomplished in this way.
If you are not hurried it is best to
provide one dozen of each article worn,
for these garments made at home are
so much better than those bought ready |
made that an extra supply is greatly to f
be desired. Do not make the mistake
of putting too much fussy work on
them. By the use of the best mater
ials and the daintiest of hand work
very little trimming is required.
Especially in making your night
dresses be careful to select a simple
pattern, that will not be injured by
frequent laundering. Two or three
handsome gowns will suffice. The oth
ers should be made by the French pat
tern, in which the tucks are run in the
muslin, and the gown then cut from the
piece. Experience has taught that ruf
fles and tucks, frills and furbelows,
large collars and flowing sleeves are
decidedly uncomfortable for steady
wear.
It is a good plan to make half a
dozen night dresses of muslin for win
ter wear, and half a dozen of Lonsdale
cambric for summer use. A little Va
lenciennes lace used as a finish at
throat and wrists will give a vast
amount of wear. It is astonishing
how much wear such frall-looklng ma
terial will stand, and so far as dainti
ness goes it cannot be surpassed.
Dressing: the Hair for a Ball.
When dressing the hair for a ball,
the girl who hopes to be comfortable
and tidy when she dances should be
ware of a style of hairdressing to
which she is unaccustomed, and of or
naments that are not eafely fixed in
the hair. It is the worst of manners
to see a woman "dressing” herself in
public, and yet pats and touches will
make themselves actually necessary,
even in the ball room, if her hair seems
loose and disheveled after a vigorous
dance. “Vigorous,” by the by, is used
merely as a figure of speech here, for
it is quite a sign of the lower classes
to dance vigorously nowadays. Rather
carrying the matter to its extreme
limit, people at a fashionable ball
dance as though the whole thing was
a wearisome duty, to be got through
with the least possible expenditure of
exertion.
New Fur Sets.
The soft, fluffy, blue-gray moufflon
fur, so pretty and becoming for young
girls and young women, is much worn
and a set of that decked with frills of
white satin would make any girl look
like an old-time picture.
Pretty sets, including toque, muff and
boa, are made of oetrlch feathers in the
natural tint, half-brown, half-gray, and
trimmed with ruched frills of chiffon.
An odd set of mink has a toque with
crown of panther-spotted beaver, with
two long plumes and a blue velvet bow
for trimming. The boa is of white os
trich, with a narrow band of mink
down the center.
A Woman Matador of Cordova.
Now comes the denouement, writes a
correspondent who recently saw a bull
fight in Spain; for upon a final flour
ish of trumpets the matador, who in
this particular performance was a wo
man, steps forth with a brighter red
flag or cloak on a staff in her left hand
and a good Toledan blade in her right,
hidden beneath the right edge of the
red flag. The bull makes a dash for
the woman, our ladles turn their heads
and ask me what I see, and I report a
calm, deliberate and skillful step to the
left by the female matador, a flash of
the sword, a bend of the body to the
right, and over the bull’s neck a
spurting of blood, not very copious,
and the sword has pierced the animal's
neck close to the shoulder. The jugu
lar is severed, the beast trembles, his
knees give way and he falls amid the
applause of the audience at the skill
of the swordswoman. Before the mat
ador proceeded to the slaughter she
formally asked permission of the pre
siding alcaldo to do the killing, and
upon his formal consent proceeded
with sword in hand to the front of the
bull.

THRILLING BUFFALO YARN.
How the Old-Timer Lied About What
I He Didn't Do.
“When I first struck the short grass j
country old John was there. He got
me cornered one day and was so tick
led to get a fresh victim that he hardly
stopped even to take a drink, until he
had stuffed me so full that I was par
tially paralyzed for a month afterward.
He gave me to understand that for
I years before he came to Kansas he
was one of the most dreaded despera
does and Indian killers that ever
roamed through the Rocky Mountains.
I learned afterward that he wouldn’t
, fight a cat, and actually trembled with
j fear whenever his hatchet-faced wife
turned loose on him with her tongue,
but when I first met him his blood
thirsty talk fairly made my blood run
cold.
“He informed me that he was known
far and wide through the mountains
as ‘Tiger Jack, the Terror of the
Rockies.’ But I was going to speak of
i his buffalo, story. I asked him one
! day, just to bring him out, if he ever
, got into ar.y tight places when he was
hunting buffalo. 'Oh, I’ve been in
places that I suppose most fellers
would call ticklish,’ he replied, ‘but
never any place that rattled Tiger Jack
but once, ai.d that time I own I was
worried.
•“ ‘I was huntin’ buffalo down the
Medicine Valley along in ’7O. The
country was just alive with the crit
ters and I was knockin’ ’em right and I
left, when all at once somethin’ start
ed a stampede, and three or four mil
lion buffalo come rushin’ down the
valley, just makin’ the ground shake
as they came. I seen at once that I
would have to get out of there or be
run over, but my pony was all fagged
out, and the herd kept gaining on him
at every jump. I saw that them buf
falo was goin’ to run that there pony
down, and that something had to be
done, and done quick. Well, sir, I
seen that there was just one thing to
do; I waited till the head buffalo was
right on my pony’s flank, and then l
made a jump on that buffalo’s hump.
“ ‘Then, sir, I just went jumpin’ from
the back of one buffalo to another and
shootin’ as I went —thought, maybe,
you know, that I could scatter the
herd and get down on the ground.
Well, sir, when I struck the rear of
that stampede I was only a mile from
home. I went out the next day and
measured the distance from where I !
jumped, and found that I had travel- 1
ed on the backs of buffalo for six miles
and a quarter. I’ll tell you honestly, I !
think it wag a little the closest shave .
I ever had.”

Illustration than in Miss Sadie Webb of |
Porter township. 0.? Sadie is the
pride of the county, and she comes
honestly by her reputation. Barely out
of her teens for two years, she haa
personally discharged heir duties as
contractor on Uucle Sam’s mail route

towns. Every day she drives 32 miles,
making 192 mile* per week, and before
her four year tei in has expired she will
have completed 36.5G4 miles.
It isn’t many , r ot.ng girls who would
shoulder such a contract and assume
such daily responsibilities for such a
period of their lives, but Miss Webb
heartily enjoys 1 er work and has man
aged to make a good living out of it.
Besides carrying the mails for four
postoffices, she bays all of the goods for
four general stores located in the vil
lages along the route that she has to
travel. She also jarries passengers and
is a typical hust. er in every way.

A Horn Wltli n History.
There Is an old battered tin horn In
the possession of an ancient colored
man at Dalton, Ga., around which are
Associated memories of many deeds of
violence.
In ante-bellum days the horn was the
property of Colonel "Ben.” Longhridge,
a wealthy planter of Murray county.
It was originally used to summon his
many slaves to work and to meals, and 1
Its welcome note at sunset was the sig
nal for them to rest from the day’s la- ,
bors.
After the war the horn became sepa
rated from the Longhridge family, and
from that time until a few months ago
was the period of its stirring history.
Murray county has for years been a
stronghold of the “moonshiners.”
Time after time the revenue officers
made desperate raids on the Illicit dis
tillers, killing and being killed, yet
never entirely subduing the stubborn
mountaineers. The mellow note of
the old tin horn would always warn
the whisky rebels of the approach of
their enemies, and many a good man’s
death has it presaged.
The moonshiners would station a
lusty lunged sentinel on some promi
nent mountain rock, which command
ed a view of the valley below, and the
slightest suspicious symptom in the
lower defiles was sufficient to send the
bass echoes of the old horn flying, and
the moonshiners themselves scurrying
to their improvised fortresses, armed
to the teeth and ready to take and risk
life for what they considered their
rights and in the defense of their
hearthstones. To the “revenues” It al
ways bore the dismal Information that
from the next crag or bramble they
might expect a slaying volley from
their hidden foes.
The venerable horn Is a special re
minder of a notorious gang which ter
rorized the county up to within a year
ago. It was used to rally the forces of
this gang and was often the preface to
a bloody conflict between them and the
law’s representatives.
When the gang was finally disposed
of the horn passed Into the possession
of old "Uncle" Isaao, a typical “befo’
de war” colored man and the old man
often brings It out and recounts Its in
teresting history.
4 Antlcwif *T*m* Wild Cat.
A tame wildcat from the northern
Minnesota woods has been sent to Mr.
Muthlson of 171 Randolph street, Chi
cago. The cat, which ii as large as a
1 goad-sized bulldog, and, according to
th'i claims of its proud owner, could
'whip an eveu dozen of those iron
-javed beasts in as many minutes, is
ni docile as a little kitten.
The thing was captured, when so
sniall its eyes had hardly opened, by
|Tiapper James Wilson, whose log eab
: in is situated In the wilds of the Min
nesota woods surrounding Sturgeon
Like, and he trained it for thirteen
months, feeding it on cooked beef,
milk and bread, and to-day, in its new
Chicago home, it plays about the office
in amusing gentleness, stands gravely
in the window gazing with wondering
eyes out upon the street, with its mul
titude of horses and wagons, or starts
in its brisker moods on a wild career
of leaping about the office. A jump of
a seven-foot partition is not quite the
limit of its endeavors, and a spring
of ten or eleven feet from the top of
a desk to a distant stack of boxes,
landing without causing the pile to
topple over, is one of its feats. ,
Are You Weak!
Weakness manifests itself in ti c loss of
ambition and aching bones. The blood is
watery; the tissues are wasting—the door is
being opened fordisease. A bottle of Browns’
Iron Bitters taken in time will restore your
strength, soothe your nerves, muke your
blood rich ami red. Do you more good
than an expensive special course of medicine.

HIGGINS CHARGED ALONE.
hi Confederate Testimony He Has Been
Given a Medal of Honor.
"The Secretary of War granted a
medal of honor a few days ago to a
federal soldier PP the affidavit of a
confederate," said Charles I. Evans of
Texas, a candidate for office, who oc
casionally visits the White House, “and
tt is probably the first instance on
record of this kind. The federal sold
ier who received the medal was Thom
as I. Higgins, now of Hannibal, Mo.
During the war he was the color-bear
er of the 99th Illinois Regiment, and
was holding that position at the siege
of Vicksburg. In an assault on the 22d
of May. 1863, the 99th Illinois was
ordered to charge and not to look
back. I was a member of the 2d Texas
Regiment, and we confronted the
charging Illinoisians. We repulsed the
Illinois regiment a short distance from
the breastworks and sent it back in
confusion. Higgins, however, was lit
erally obeying the orders. He never
looked back. He never noticed the ro
treat of his regiment, but came bound
ing forward, his colors flying as pret
tily as a soldier ever saw. When
vithin forty yards of our works word
was passed along the line not to shoot
:he brave soldier, and all firing ceased.
When Higgins saw his predicament he
started to retreat with his colors, but
'.ve told him to come on or we would
have to shoot him. Several men ran
cut and brought him within the breast
;orks. We kept him several days,
ML' tig which time we learned to like
YStt admire him. He was then par
oled. I was one of the men who wit
nessed his heroic deed and made an af
fidavit to that effect. Several of my
companions who remembered Higgins
and his charge also made affidavits. On
these the Secretary of War granted a
medal. Higgins could have been
vouched for by members of his own
regiment, but the novelty of recom
mendation by his former foes led to
that course."
A Timely Friend.
With perfect propriety may we call
that excellent remedy, Salvation Oil,
a timely friend. This liniment rapidly
cures rheumatism, ueuralgia and (tains,
when other remedies fail. Mr. Jno.
M. Hall, Ashland, Va., writes : “I
Buffered with rheumatism in the ankle
and the muscles connected therewith.
Salvation Oil at once relieved the sore
ness, reduced the swelling, and cured
the pain. No other liniment that I ever
used did me so much good.”
