Letter From Eleanor Kirk.

“Does Miss Mabel Jenuess, the lec
turer ou physical developiuemt, re
commend ladies when taking horse
back exercise to ride astride?” a corre
spondent inquires.
I believe she does and so do all phy
sicians and all Intelligent, thinking
persons who have studied up tills mat
ter. Such a change will be a decided
innovation, aud will, of course attract
a great deal of comment at first, and
to many will look exceedingly awk
ward. but tliis newness will soon wear
oiT, and it will not be long before we
sliall all wonder why tlie march of
progress had not before overtaken the
saddle horse. Some fashionable ladies
are already practicing this method on
eountry roads, and are delighted with
tin* change. They wear divided skirts,
and not only take longer rides with
more comfort and less danger, but the
horses return fresher and in better
temper. The side saddle throws the
body of tlie rider off equilibrium, aud
lias been tlie cause of great spiual suf
fering. Then, horses who carry tlie
weight of heavy burdens on one side
alone do not live as long on an aver
age ns the over-worked car horses. Is
it a mere matter of sentiment that
horses have some rights that riders
are bound to respect, or isn’t it? 1
leave this to my readers.
Those of my friends who are plan
ning their uiouutain or sea shore cos
tumes, I pray to listen to me. Don’t
buy shoes to plough through the sand
with, and to wear in clitubiug hills
and fences, that have high heels and
narrow soles. Get a boot broad
enough once in your lives and one
with a spring heel. Then look into the
i combination under garments, those
with the vest and drawers woven to-
j get her.
Select woolen or silk, of the proper
size, and then invest in a corset waist
with shoulder straps, and buttons
around the bottom to fasten the skirt
to. Next buy a divided skirt which
never wobbles, nor drags, nor gets in
the way going upstairs, and upon
which a gale bf wind lias no effect.
For your dresses purchase materials
of light weight, and have them made
upon a gowu form foundation With
such a costume you can defy fatigue,
and can also positively cure many of
the internal diseases from which so
many of our women suffer.
The impression which prevails in
certain quarters that dresses made iu
this style are not pretty is entirely in
correct. The costumes of the great
Worth, and the world-renowned Felix,
cannot be compared in point of
artistic beauty with thosedesigued by
Mrs. Annie Jenness Millpr, aud this is
conceded by our best artists. Tlie
ugliest figure can be made to seem
graceful by means of these tastefully
draped gowns, and tile beauty of a line
figure is much enhanced by the vari
ous charming ways iu which it can be
arrayed. Then, Mrs. Miller works for

Mr. Geo. W. Adams, formerly edi
tor and proprietor of tlie Eatonton
Messenger, but for several years con
nected witli the editorial staff of the
Savannah Daily Morning News, has
been compelled to sever his connec
tion with the News, on account of
the feeble health of his wife, and
return to his old home at Eatonton.
Mr. Adams still owns the Messenger,
and will probably renew his former
connection with that excellent Week
ly- ,
All that was mortal of Obediah F.
Adams was placed beneath tlie sod at
Rose Hill cemetery this afternoon.
Captain Adams’ death occurred on
the 0th at 7 o’clock, surrounded by
his loving family and a number of
friends.
For several days the end had been
hourly expected, and, perhaps, in less
than an hour from tlie time his soul
took its flight the news of his death
was known in every quarter of the
city and witli it went forth a sigh
from the many who knew the man
and who had sympathized with him
in the sad circumstances surrounding
the closing days of his life.—Macon
News 7th.
My friend “R. M. O.” did not fol
low the text I gave him in his reply
in another plnce in this paper. I did
not say we should not consider the
Past. I said look not “mournfully” to
the Past. That is, not vex ourselves
about what is gone and cannot be re
called. I said, look not “anxioui ly” in
to the future, for we cannot tell what
God may do about it. But 1 said seize
tlie “Present, it is tbiue.” To-day is
outs, not yesterday, or to-morrow.
So far as the nouns, Pust and Future,
are concerned what “R. M. O.” says
is very true, well conceived and well
expressed, but he seems to have over
looked the qualifying adjectives
“mournfully” aud “anxiously” entire
ly, whioh are the strength and beau
ty of the whole sentence. J. H. N.
made the greatest blunders, and the
most pious cursed the world with fa-
naticicism and bigotry.
Life comes not by spontaneous com
bustion, neither does it go out like a
meteor consumed in the rapidity of its
own fligfit; but like a fixed star.it shines
for the Past, the Present and the Fu-
ure. Were it ever changing, it would
be no guide, were it meteor-like it
would be useless. That life which
lives in the Past and impresses its ex
perience in the Present, will have a
bright Future. That child who has
not a single feature of either parent,
is a lusus naturae, and could not be
bound by any parental law. The
Past is our teacher, the Present our
learning, and the future our reward.
Without the Past, life would be an
experiment; for expediency would dic
tate every uction, policy would await
developments and principles be un
known; for like a blind man, every
step would liave to be a feeliDg one.
Had the men of 1861 North and South
been guided by the wisdom of the
Past, as our patriotic fathers gave it
to us as an inheritance, war and
bloodshed, wrong and a violated con
stitution, would not have been our
fate. r. m. o.

The introduction of the type writer
Into families of Russian and German
nobility was first mainly for the pur
pose of amusement and entertain
ment.
The wife of ono of the highest court
officials at St. Petersburg lately wrote
a letter to a friend in New York iu
Fretlch, and tlie same letter In Rus
sian, on a Remington type-writer,
which her husband had given her for
a Christmas present.
“You can Imre uo idea,” she said,
“of the gratification and joy which
this dear little Instrument has afford
ed me. It has entirely cured tlie
euuui which you so much deplored,
and which is so much more distress
ing than actual puiu, and then you
would laugh to soe me—me, the spoil
ed wife aud daughter, tlie pet of so
ciety, worklug over proclamations
and knotty business documents, iu
order to help my dear husband a lit
tle—though to be quite frank, if it did
not amuse me I should perhaps not
help him at all.”
The Russian type written letter
was a sight—words a foot long, but
all neatly and eve* artistically done.
The womon In England who are In
terested in what may be called “Ex
perimental Marriage” will probably
do some good by their arguments and
their influence, but. will not bo likely
to succeed in their efforts. It is a fact
that some of our most thoughtful and
cultured men and women are in favor
of a marriage law whioh shall bind
the parties for a certain number of
years only. Home are in favor of two
years but the majority think that live
years are none too long for this exper
iment, At the expiration of this time
they are at liberty to go or stay. If
they conclude to continue the rela
tion, there must be another marriage
service which shall bind them for life.
I oarnestly hope that none of my read
ers will take the trouble to ask how I
regard the matter, because I don’t
know what I do think. I am sure of
two things only. The first is that it
ought not to be easy for folks to mar
ry, and the second that the preven
tive of unhappiness in the marital re
lation will be found in education

Work on the Middle Georgia.
Covington, Ga., April 8.—A con
siderable force of hands with their
mules, wagons, etc., have just arrived
here und will begin work on the Mid
dle Georgia aud Atlantic railroad to
morrow. Tlie surveying party have
made a preliminary survey from here
to Cedar Shoals, on Yellow river,
which is about three miles west of this
place and it Is thought the route will be
adopted in extending the road to
Atlanta. It Is also thought that a
branch road will be built from Cedar
Shoals to connect with tlie Georgia

road is not extended to this place. 4
A Good Story of Charley Hill.
Tin* Washington correspondent of
the Enquirer-Sun gets off the follow
ing good one :
“When Charles Hill of Atlanta, sou
of the late Senator Men Hill, was here
recently to attend the wedding of his
friend Howell Cobb Glenn, he told a
good story of ,his experience when
prosecuting attorney for his county,
where the joke was on himself. He
was called upon in the discharge of
his duty to prosecute a big, thick-lip
ped, low browed negro for thieving.—
The man, while apparently ignorant,
had a fervid flow of language and an
unctious piety well known among the
negroes of the South. Hill fastened
the crime on him by evidence which
seemed to be unimpeachable, and
then made one of a few speeches of
his life with which he himself was
satisfied. He regarded the speech as
having quite as much weight as the
evidence, and was surprised when the
jury brought In a verdict of “not
guilty.” While lie sat stunned in his
cliulr the bigdarky got up ami shook
hands with the judge, ana then with
the members of the jury, fervently
thanking all of them. At length he
turned to Mr, Hill, held out his hand
and said: “I ’spose, Mnrse Hill, 1
ought to thank you, too; 'fore God
Marse Hill, 1 believe but fob yob
speech I’d u been convicted.”

Avoid all Substitutes for
Royal Baking' Powder.,
No other Baking Powder is “just as good as the ‘Royal’ ’ either in strength,
purity or wholesomeness. The “Royal” is superior to all others in all ways.
Most housekeepers know this from their practical experience, and the reports
of the U. S. Government investigations show it officially. The Government
chemist says the “Royal” is “undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking
powder offered to the public.”
If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the “Royal
they do so because they can make a greater profit upon the other; good evi
dence of the superiority of the “Royal.” Io give greater profit the other must
be a lower-cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with alum or cheaper
and inferior materials.
Because the “Royal” uses more highly refined and expensive materials it
costs more to manufacture than any other baking powder, but it is correspond
ingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and accordingly of greater money
value to consumers, although the retail price to them is generally the same.
Consumers are entitled to full value for their money, and*therefore will not, if
wise, accept any substitute for the “Royal.
Unfortunately, not only are many of these would-be substitute powders made
from inferior and unwholesome materials, but they are placed before the public
with advertisements intended to mislead as to their true character. A powder
advertised by its manufacturers to have printed upon its label all the ingredients
used in it, proves upon analysis to have in its composition four substances not
named upon its label, two of which are lime and sulphuric acid. Most of the
alum powders are fraudulently sold as pure cream of tartar goods.
The danger incurred, should such powders be substituted for the “Royal,**
will be apparent to every consumer.
