Brooklyn, April lltli. 1890. 786 Lafayette Ave. “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.

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. Claude Shomo of Atlunta was among the first who reached Johnstown af ter the great disaster there last year. He says he wishes lie had never seen the terrible wreck; that scenes he witnessed there (•hich he graphically describes) come back to him iu dreams and that he cannot dispel them from his mind. At Kansas City a man stabbed his brother, but the wounded man sur vived. The jury’s verdict was: “We, the jury, find the defenduut guilty of manslaughter in the third degree, had the prosecuting witness died.” Atlanta is to have a magnificent bnilding to be used by lawyers.

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 aloue. ELEANOR KIRK. 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 Midland at McDonugh if the latter 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.” Don’t Feel Well.

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.
