Engravings are brought down
from the Art Gallery, all ex-
cept Old Engravings; and
twenty-five per cent. is to be
taken off from the price OF
everything that is there for the
present, engravings and frames
The prices marked on them
remain as they were, lower
than anywhere else, in many
instances far lower; but from
these prices twenty-five per
cent. is to be deducted, when
the sale is made.
This deduction is made
solely for the purpose OF ad'
vertisement; to bring to youl
notice the treasures of higt
art that have been gathering
here for the past year. lhey

Norwegian snow-shoe, or ske,-Racing

One OF the most popular winter sports
in Norway Is skee-racing, A steep hill
is selected by the committee which is to
have charge of the race, and all the best
skee-runners in the district enter their
names, eager to engage in the contest,
The track is cleared of all accidental
distractions, but il there happens TO be
a stone or wooden fence crossing il, the
snow is dug away on the lower side of it
and piled up above 1t. The object Is to
obtain what is called 'iump." The
skee-runner Of course, coming at full
speed down the slope will slide out over
this Jump" shooting right out into the
air and coming down either on his feet
or any other convenient portion of his
anatomy, as the case may be. To keep
ones footing, and particularly to pre-
vent the SkcGS from becoming crossed
while in the air, are the most difficult
feats connected with skee-racing; and it
is no unusual thing to see even an ex-
cellent skee-runner plunging headlong
into the snow, while his Skees pursue an
Independent race down the track and
tell the spectators Of his failure. Prop
erly speaking, skee-race is not race
not test of speed, but q test Of skill;
for two runners rarely start simultane-
ously, as, in case one of them should
fall, the other could not possibly stop,
and might not even have the time to
change his course. He would thus be in
danger of running into his competitor,
and could hardly avoid manning him
seriously. If there were several parallel
tracks, at distance OF twenty TO thirty
feet from each other, there would, of
course, be less risk in having the run
ners start together. Usually, number
fall in the first run. and those who have
not fallen then continue the contest un-
til one gains the palm, II, as OCCASION
ally happens, the competition is mar
rowed down to two, who are about
evenly matched, proposal to run
without slaves is apt to result in deci-
sive victory for one or the other.
1t can hardly be conceived how excit-
ing these contests are, not only to the
skee-runners themselves, but, also, TO
the spectators, male and female, who
gather in groups along the track and
cheer their friends as they pass, waving
their handkerchiefs, and greeting with
derisive cries the mishaps which are in
separable from the sport.-H, Il, Boye-
sen, in 81. Nicholas for February

PRoLoNGING THE BLooM.-No plant can
continue in bloom if nature is permitted to
do her work completely, for the going to
and stops everything else. By constantly
removing decaying flowers before a seed
pod can swell the growth of the plant, and
the continued development of new buds
and flowers upon the new growth are mat
tiers of course. Try the experiment. Two
cottages, having fine plants covering their
fronts, being in the hands of different per.
sons, frequently exhibit the most striking
contrast-one mass of flowers, while the
other is bare and those who pay no atten-
ton TO the cause are nevertheless often sur
prised at the fact If they will look further
into the matter they will observe that the
one is loaded with hips, or seed vessels,
which are swelling in great numbers, while
on the other not solitary berry could be
seen. In the one case every bloom was
trimmed off as fast as it faded; in the
other they took their chance. 1t is only
necessary to cut away the dead flowers to
prolong the season of bloom. Those VINO
are 80 careful of the flowers and dread to
see one plucked are depriving themselves
in the long run, as well as denying others
the enjoyment of fresh bouquet, and get
ting the name of being selfish and stingy.
There is an absolute gain in plucking every
full.blown rose. and do not deprive neigh
Dor or yourself the pleasure of full.blown
rose. Let the the bush produce more in
stead Of maturing seed-pods which are Of
no alue.-[Occident.

THE RECOGNITION OF GoD.-When the
statues OF Hermes were mutilated in the
night at Athens the city was struck with
horror. When Socrates was accused of
atheism he was condemned to henbsne.
Ii any man in Rome had extinguished the
fire of Vests, or profaned the Sanctuary of
the Regia, the pontiffs would have in
flicted fine, or even death. Both the Greek
and the Roman world, immersed as they
were in superstition, polytheism, panthe-
ism, which, all Of them, are the parasites
of belief in a Divine Lawgiver. Ruler and
Awarder, were profoundly and profusely
religious. a Commonwealth or State with
out Divine Lawgiver, law, and worship,
in its private and public life, was con-
ception which, not to the Hebrew only, but
to tie Greek and Roman, was impossible
to thought, and beyond the stretch OF
imagination. 1t has been reserved for
these latter times. 1t is the delirium of
men who, having known God, have turned
their faces from Him. The theory that
the recognition of God can be removed
from the public acts and legislature of the
Commonwealth is to strip the political
order of mankind of its divine character.
1t is to relegate religion to the private life
of men, and desecrate the public life of the
State. Such a Dissertation no Christian
ever imagined to be possible till the Law

oa1o1a OF THE CUSTOM OF scALprBe


Hundreds of years ago-perhAps thou
sands-when the I0dians were all one tribe
and under one great Chief. dispute arose
in the tribe as 20 who should become Chief,
the old Chief having died without leaving
son to succeed him. There were two
principal aspirants for the Chieftancy, and
each of them had strong following. The
dispute ended in dividing the tribe and
in war Previous to this tims scalping was
unknown, az there were no enemies to
scalp, the land being occupied by only one
people. Peace was never made between
the two factions.
The Chief Of one side had beautiful
daughter, and one OF the leading warriors
was a suitor for her hand. The Chief, as
a condition TO consenting to give his daugh-
ter to her warrior lover, required him to
kill the Chief of the opposing tribe (his
! old time rival for the Chief5ancy), and to
bring him ths proof of the act. The war
ri0r accepted the condition. It was many
long miles TO the camp of the enemy, and
the snow was deep, bu5 he Immediately set
out upon his mission. After lying in wait
near the enemy's camp for days and under
going great suffering from the extreme cold

out his pan, he finally, one nisa5, boldly
entered the camp. walked into The great
Chiefs lodge, slew him, and, cutting off his
head to take back with him as proof, start
ed to return to his own people.
TIE next morning the murder was die
covered, also the murderer's tracks in the
Snow and drops of blood which had fallen
from the dead Chieftain's captured head.
Two hundred warriors started in pursuit
of the murderer They almost overlook
him, and he could hear them on his track.
He was almost tired out, and the dead
Chiefs head was growing heavy, yet he
struggled on with is through the snow and
cold, determined not to relinquish the proof
which would win for him his bride. The
pursuers pressed him so at length that he
threw away every weight but his trophy.
They finally gained on the weary brave so
fast that it seemed that he must either re-
Iinquish his prize or be captured, which, of
course, would be death. Whipping cut his
rnde knife tit was before the time of steel
knives among the Indians) he hurriedly
stripped eff the scalp from the dead mans
head and sped on. Thus lightened of his
load he made his own camp in safety, the
scalp was accepted as sufficient proof that
he had fulfilled his mission, the old Chief
no longer withheld his consent, and the
bright-eyed daughter OF the forest became
his own. Thus originated the custom of
scalpiug among the American Indians.
