Snow-ShOeing in Norway.
From Blackwoo,

Of all the bodily exercises | know of,
there is none in my opinion that can
come up to snow-shoeing, as it is done
in Norway. Skating is nothing com
pared to this sport. What can equal
the splendid sensation of flying across
the deep snow at the rate ofmany miles
an hour, without hardly moving Il
muscle? and then going down hill, staff
in hand no exertion necessary other
than to keep the balance while gliding
softly but swiftly onward. Unlike the
Canadian snow-shoes these SKI (prO-
nounced hee) of the Norwegians are
often fully twelve feet long, curving up
ward at the PROV, and are not broader
than three or four inches. Throughout
the whole length they are provided
with a groove for the purpose of keeping
them from slipping when going at an
angle down hill. Although by no
means slow when used across level
ground, it is yet down hill that they are
most effective, for their long length and
polished underestimate ON the frozen
snow cause speed more like flying
than any other motion | know Of
The inhabitants of Telemarkham, III
the south of Norway, are the most
efficient ski runners; and at the annual
competitions at Christiania, generally
bear off the prizes. At the competition
there in 1879, one of these men leaped
according to local newspaper, a dis
lance of thirty Norwegian allen, or fully
sixty feet! Into this country it will be
impossible to introduce them, as of
course there would be little opportunity
for using them-the snow never lying
long enough or becoming sufficiently
deep.

STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF A BRIDE
GROOM
Inducing Young Lady to Marry Him
Against Her PARENTS Wishes. Then
disappearing.
Louisville Courier-J journal.

Last summer George Willard, of
keene, y. H., employed rs clerk Of
the Ocean Hotel, ut Long Branch,
made the acquaintance of Miss Mile
Stewart, of lakewood avenue, Troy, n.
Y, who, with her parents, was spend
ing the summer ut Long Branch. The
parents noticing the intimacy between
the pair took their daughter home.
Willard was again employed as clerk
in the hotel this summer, and two
weeks ago invited Miss Stewart, with
whom he had kept up a correspond
ence, to make visit to Long Branch
She accepted the invitation, leaving
note mt her home telling her parents
she had gone to see George" but
without intimating where he was. On
her arrival here Willard persuaded
Miss Stewart to marry him. To JUS
tiee Of the Peace Brinley they gave
their ages as nineteen and twenty and
he married them. A few davs later
Willard grew apprehensive and adj
vised his wife to return TO her parents
and seek u reconciliation. The young
wife left for Troy with the understand
ing that IL the parents forgaye their
marriage and consent to receive her
husband she would telegraph. A day
or so later the telegram arrived that
MI was forgiven. but Willard had left
the hotel and his whereabouts were
unknown On Tuesday Mrs Stewart
arrived here, asking for Willard and
inquiring if the marriage was legal.
Willard could not be found, but Justice
Brinlty assured Mrs. Stewart that the
marriage was legal. Wizards late as
soeiates at the Ocean Hotel speak Of
him in the highest terms, and believe

The HOnse OF Lords
London Truth.

That the upper chamber viii not long
continue to exist in its present form can
hardly be q matter of doubt; indeed it
has only existed up to now because
there has never been democratic
house of commons. If the Irish dis
turbance bill was thrown out because 1t
remotely seemed to imperil the rights
of landlords, is likely that the drastic
legislation in regard to land which Is
impending will meet with more favor?
With the exception perhaps, OF about
twenty or thirty peers, the entire body
is In antagonism with the politiealviews
entertained by the majority of English
men. / am not saying whether the
peers are right or whether the majority
Is right but if they differ it can hardly
be supposed but what the latter will
not overturn the former. The question
will then arise whether two chambers
il the more practical solution Of the
parliame ntary system. Much has been
said. and much more may b. said, on
either side. Probably the most work
able constitution of Anglo-Saxon is that
is that of the United States, an elected
senate, the members of which are elect
ed for different terms, so that there IS
never one general election of the en-
tire body Of senators, exercises legisla-
tire and executive duties. We're we to
adopt such an upper chamber, the
colonists as wen as the mother country
might be represented IN it, which would
greatly tend to the consolidation OF the
empire.

MISS MINNIE PINNEO.
The Equestrienne Belle of Colorado
in Some Facts ReIa-
ting to Her, Learned by "a Pioneer
Press Reporter.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

Miss Minnie Pinneo of Greeley, Col
orado, accompanied by er father, ar
rived i'll Minneapolis Monday by the
Chicago ST. Paul & Omaha railroad and
took rooms at the Nicollet. Miss
Pinneo is the courageous young lady
who issued challenge to the winner of
the equestrinne contest between Miss
Cook of California and Miss Jewett of
Minnesota, to ride Il second race for
5000 and the championship Of Amer
lea. The challenge, it will be remem-
bered, was accepted both by Miss Cook
and Miss Jewett and the details of the
second contest will be arranged to take
place on the Minneapolis track one day
during the week of the great fair, prob
ably Friday. A PiOneer-PyeSS reporter
CALLED UPON MISS PINNEO
at the Nicollett house parlors and was
cordially received by a very pleasant
appearing young lady of less than
twenty years of age.
In response to inquiries by the re-
porter, she stated that she was Il Yam
kee girl by birth, having first seen the
light under the shadows of the granite
hills of New Hampshire. When three
years old, however, her father moved
to Colorado, finally becoming a resident
of Greeley, and Miss Minnie calls her
self a

of her girlhood and womanhoOd have
been spent
Miss Pinneo was quite anxious to see
her competitors and form their ac-
quaintance. She has heard consider
able of the powers of each of
them, and expressed herself to your re-
porter as much gratified to learn that
both Miss Jewett and Miss Cook were
admirable horsewomen. II want to
win the race" she remarked, "and |
intend to win it if L can; but | would
rather lose with Il lady and IA good horse
woman for an opponent, then win it
against woman who knows nothing
about horse" The reporter volun-
teered the response that Miss PinneO
need not borrow trouble on that score,
as both Cook and Miss Jewett, besides
being very thorough ladies, were excel
lent hOrseWOmen.
Miss Pinneo left Greeley on Saturday
noon and arrived IN this city at noon
yesterday. She is a young lady of good
face and figure, showing
INDEPENDENCE AND SELF-REIIANCE
in her makeup. She is nineteen years
eff age, weighs about 140 pounds, rather
above medium height, with a willowy
and graceful figure. Like both the
other ladies, she is great lover of
horsehesh, and at home spends much
of her leisure time on horseback. She
has ridden at some of the public CON
tests in Colorado, and has always come
off winner She thoroughly realizes
however, that a race of twenty mile
mounted on thoroughbreds at the top
of their speed is no holiday jaunt. She
will commence training with the other
ladies on the track on Wednesday,

The Etiquette Of Shoes.

The custom of removing boots in
Burmah is not so much an article of

palanquin in the streets of the city he
is expected to stop then and there and
