SKATING.-lt often happens that the
most expert swimmers are drowned,
while at the same time those unable to
swim mt all are saved So we find the
case with skaters. Many a one that can
cut his name on the ice skating back

ahead, has come to grief, while his less
expert neighbor skated all day without

the number of accidents which hap
pened those who took advantage of the
cold snap of the past week to enjoy the
"Nn'l rating rNrrcis" of skating over the
frozen ponds in this ne ghhorhood, was
trivial, and we are happy in having only

We lust week noticed the elopemeut

some Of our readers seemed inclined to
think our notice somewhat premature.
From the following from Seattle pa.

fectly correct in our conclusions: After
quoting our article the paper says: "We

ACCIDENT. "A party consisting of
Messrs Plaskett, Ballentine, Kordas and
Forward, met with an accident on the
snohomish river, last Sunday night,
which came near resulting disastrously
to the whole number. They were de-
scending the river in canoe, and the
night being dark the look out was una
ble to discern objects any great distance
ahead. When near che mouth OF Ben,
netts Slough he discovered to his terror a
Ponderous snag directly in the course OF
the canoe, and not ten feet distant. He
had barely time to shout TO the pilot to
port his helm," when on she came with
aerash, capsizing aud emptying her en-.
tire load into the angry waters Of the
river. Three of the party struck out for
the nearest shore, which they fortunately
reached, but the fourth, Mr.. Bsllentine,
with rare presence Of mind aud iudomi
table pluck, cluug to the upset canoe,
rigitsd her, fshed up the blankets and

city at late hour OF night. where they
were soon made comfortable inside and

MINOR QUESTIONS THAT PUZZLE THE
GR4MMARI4NS.
New York Times


I have of late received no less than nine
epistles-ope of them from the Pacific
shore-asking me to decide 3 disPate
whether t is right TO say to morrow is Sun
day or tomorrow Wiu be- Sunday, and
am speaking within bounds when say that,
within the last ten years that question has
been put to me, personally or by letter,
more than onehundred and fifty times, and
i have lately received seven letters, three
during the last week, asking whether it is
grammatical to say l feel bad OF l feel
badly
As to the former Lpomentous inquiry,
Nigh truly say dnn,t know which ia right
and / don't care. 1t is not worthy of Eve
minutes consideration by any reasonable
human creature E tber form of expres-
sion is perfectly inteiiigible, and both have
the support Of good usage. AS to the latter,
which, triflipg as it lie, does really present
a point for decision, there seems to me no
don BIT that ~ feel bad" is right. I cannot
believe that any one of my querists, who,
rising in the morning, felt low spirited,
would say, 81 feel oluely," but 1 feel
blue." Nor would any oue who speaks
English we'll without thinking about it
and only such persons speak well-say "the
grass looks greeGiy," eut" the grass looks
green" Bat We eau say aud should say
"that woman dresses badly" or " the air
bites keenly. When theverb expresses &C
tion or suffering, adverb is required I;
but when 1t expresses a coalition of the
speaker, as " l feel bad" or an appearance
to him, as -" the grsss looks green" an ad-
jective is proper. But eveo under these
conditions good usage add good sense ad-
init both furms. We may say either 1.-THE
sun shines brightly" ar "tbe eun shines
bright" the'river flo~s darkiy," or "the
river fl ,ws DARK There are many such
cases in which the adjective is the better
word, AID s0;lcitous use of adverbs is
xNs n Il iona
style of speech and Of writing than of one
which comes of Spontaneous conformity
to good usage aud an unconscious mastery
of cues mother tongue. Aud 1t should be
added that no ope can learn tn speak good
Eugish or "eood grammar" by fretting
over such questions as these that it is to
be attained only by au unconscious con-
formity to the usage of the best speakers
and writers, rs have had occasion to say
before.

BAD HABITs.-It is related that an India
once brought up young lion, and finding
him weak aud harmless, never attempted
to control him. Every day the lion gained
in strength and became more and more
difficult to manage; at last, excited by
rage, he fell upon the Indian and tore him
to pieces. 1t is thus with evil habits and
bad passions. They are much like this
lion-they will cause US much vexation in
after life, and may perhaps destroy US.

"Perhaps you thought Santa Claus left
it for the one who got it first suggested
her mother.
perhaps didn't" quickly answered
Maggie. "No, just took it; but Pm very
sorry"
"If you knew it was intended for Kitty
it was very wrong to take it" answered her
mother; "but you have returned it, and,
as you are so sorry, am sure God will for
give you. will teach you little prayer,
80 that you can ask jesus and Mary to assist
you in moments of temptation"
Seeing how much her daughter wished
for doll, Maggie's mother determined to
surprise her.
Just week had paesed, and New Years
day had come. Maggie did not awake as
early as on Christmas morning, for she had
no anticipations of presents, but when she
did open her eyes. the first thing she saw
was her own little chair placed near her
bed, and on it beautiful doll. Maggie
was out of bed in moment; she dressed
herself as quickly as possible, and, grasping
the dolly in her arms, ran, dancing, to her
mothers room, to thank her for the dolly,
aud TO wish her q Happy Ne,o Year.
