Coasting in August
IsIrs. Frank NJ. Gregory, in st Nicholas

IsIrs. Frank N. Gregory, in II Methodist
Il was on the afternoon OF the very warm
/. est day in August that the children came
running to me crying;
There are some boys and girls from the
village out on the hill, and some from the
hotel on the mountain, and they all have
brought their sleds" Ii seemed such puzzle
TO me that | rose and went out TO see what
was going on.
When I reached the spacious balcony was
almost convinced that the whole valley had
been bewitched.
There were gail e,ed at least twenty child
rem and half dozen sleds. The boys were
dragging the sleds up the steep slope of the
hillside that rose from the road in front of
the house. while the girls followed after
rs well a they could.
1t was not by any means an easy feat to
climb this slope.
Though at casual glance il seemed az soft
and yelyety a. a weil-xept lawn, ii was 10 the
unwary a delusion and snare. The mid
summer sun shines down upon the Adiron-
dack mountains with as much ardOr as on
the city streets Though the nights are cool,
frequently even cold. there are no dews,
and usually but little rain. So the short
thick grass that gaOws abundantly upon the
sides OF the lesser mountains. or, more
properly speaking, the foothills, becomes
parched and smooth, and as slippery as ice.
The children, then. had before them quite
an amount of hard walking, but those child
ren were like mOuntain-goats, hardy, willing
and able to climb anything.
Watched them with interest. At last the
top was reached. Then, the sleds were turned
upside down. and the runners were rubbed
vigorously with candles; this completed, the
sleds were put in proper position again. three
children seated themselves on each and a
gentle push started them down the slope.
How swiftly they came, The slope was
steep but smooth not rock stump. or stone
on It's surface: there was no danger. and the
sleds stopped on the sandy road.
For two long hours this colony OF children
cOasted-till the grass was worn almost to
the roots. and the supply of tallow (which is
indispensable for this midsummer cOasting)
was exhausted
After all the little ones were weary, we
older people Joined in the fun. 1 own to
have made the descent but Once,-that was
quite enough for me.
l never before had heard of this novel
amusement; but, startling as it seemed at
first, the novelty soon wore away, and | be-
came quite accustomed to the sight and
sounds of cOasting in midsummer.

SOME time ago the Department of
State demanded the release of Santos,
a naturalized American citizen, who
was imprisoned by the Ecuadorian
Government on the charge of being
connected with a revolution in that
country. No reply has been received
from the President of Ecuador, and the
representative of the United States in
that country has been requested to &C
quaint the authorities here with the
reason of the delay in acknowledging
this Governments request. Santos
has been imprisoned for number of
months, his property having been
seized prior to his Imprisonment. The
authorities here asked that he be given
q trial. This was refused. A request
for a release vas also refused. OF late
the Government of Ecuador has APP
parently ignored every request that has
been made by this Government in rela-
ton to Santos.
