Cap. Endersby informed a Chronicle
representative today that he made a
careful examination yesterday of his
peach, pear and plum trees and found
the young fruit practically unaffected by
the late frosts. He says the blossoms
are so thick on the trees that they could
stand considerable thinning out and vet
leave as much fruit as the trees ought to
be allowed to bear. -One
our handsomest and most popu
lar young society men met with a sin
gular surprise . yesterday morning.
Night before he returned from a whist
party a couple 'of hours after, midnight
and with as little delay as possible Went
to bed leaving one of his bedroom win
dows open. As he opened his eyes in
the morning and looked towards the
foot of the bed, they fell on a matron of
the feline race which, during the pre
ceding night, had been taken with the
troubles' incident to the propagation of
her species, and, seeing an open window
and a comfortable bed had sought its
kindly softness for bringing her five .lit
tle sightless children into the world.
The Chronicle erred yesterday when
it said that it was the children of Bev.
A. C Spencer who arrived, here last
Sunday morning from the east, who are
down with the diphtheria. The fact is,
the two who are ill, one a girl of fifteen
and the other a boy of thirteen, lived
here all winter, and Lily Richards lias
been living with them for about six
weeks. None of the children who ar
rived Sunday morning have as yet
shown any symptoms of the disease.
The Chronicle makes this explanation
in justice to Mr. Spencerr who very naturally-
would not like to have it supposed
that his children .brought the disease
here.
Julius Wiley, steward of the Regu
lator, has spent most of. his spare time
since last Sunday studying the church
calendar in order to find the orthodox
day on which Easter falls this year.
Last Sunday morning ' he was ap
proached, . before breakfast, by the four
deck hands who asked, "Aint you going
to set the eggs up for breakfast this
morning, Julius?" "Why?"1 asked the
steward. "Why ! why it's Esther Sun
day, don't you know?" "No, I didn't
know it was Easter Sunday,", was the
response. "You bet it is," chorused the
deck hands and Julius . responded by
ordering the cook to give the boys all
the eggs they wanted to eat. After they
had loaded themselves down to the gun
wale, Julius began to suspect that he
had been made the victim of misplaced
confidence, but the boys assured him
that, as this is leap year, there are two
Easters in it. So. Julius is now study
ing the calendar to find out if the boys
have lied to him,' and at last accounts,
he gravely suspects they have.

THE MODERN SIDESADDLE.
Why It Is That a Woman Is Safer oa
Horseback Than a Man Is.
About the year 1830, by an accidental
circumstance, women's riding was revo
lutionized. An Englishman made a
wager to ride a steeplechase on aside
saddle.. A preliminary trial, showed
him, 1 imagine, the rashness of the
attempt. So . to minimize the danger
by enabling him to sit safely, Mr. Fitz
hardinge Oldacre, I think, ..invented
the third pommel Looking back one
wonders how it was that' women had not
long before invented it for themselves
under stress of urgent need. But one
generation followed another and no one
seems to have thought of it. Once in
vented, however, it was immediately
adopted, and a three pommeled side
saddle came into general use. This in
vention at once reinstated women's rid
ing as a fine art by producing a new de
parture under improved conditions. For
the grip obtainable by its means gives
the greatest possible security in ex
change for the least possible expenditure
of force.
. Saddles of this kind were cumbrous
and very heavy, but during the follow
ing fifty years the weight of construc
tion was gradually reduced, and" little
by little every unnecessary item was
cut away, till in course of time the three
pommeled saddle evolved into the long,
light hunting saddle actually in use at
present. It differs in several ways from
its prototype. In this modern saddle
the long narrow can tie is built over a
sort of tunnel, which takes in the horse's
withers and allows the seat of the saddle
to lie fiat; while the old fashioned seat
sloped up and tilted the rider's knee
with much the same effect " as riding up
hill.
AH traces of the outer pommel have
disappeared, leaving a free space where
no resistance is necessary. Finally, the
left hand pommel is placed high up the
thigh, where the grip is strongest, the
pressure having formerly, been placed
just above the knee, so that a shorter
stirup was necessary. Now, such greater
leverage led to an exaggeration of
movement, which prevented all rhythm,
for obviously the closer the rider can
sit the more possibility there will be of
being "one" with the horse, of riding so
as to blend with, his action, of, so to
speak, following - the pattern of his
movement.'
In the modern saddle all modifications
tend to diminish effort and by greater
security to enable the rider to sit very
still. Strength of seat seems to me to
be the result, roughly speaking, of three
grips, caused by the opposing pressure
of the two legs against the pommels.
Of these grips, the first results from the
downward pressure of the whole length
of the right thigh and the upward press
ure of the left. The second is the grip,
just above the knee, of the right thigh
against the pommel, involving the press
ure of the leg just above the ankle on
the saddle flap' below. This grip is
counterbalanced by the left leg's inward
pressure at -the knee. ' And. third, the
hook back of the right leg over the pom
mel as opposed to the pressure of the
stirrup foot. - . .
Moreover, by sitting far back: the
leverage of these three grips is in
creased, and the consequent distribution
of the Weight makes the balance right.
The "legs must be immovable ; on the
saddle, but above' the waist the body
swaysand gives to the horse's action,
and from, constant habit a. good, rider
adjusts the balance almost .. by Instinct,
and carries on the horse's movements in
a multiplicity of tiny curves Which pass
imperceptibly from one step, to another
without any jerk or abruptness of move
