The Evolution of the Skate.

Many man of to-day can remember
the long curled toe. steel runner imbed-
ded in solid piece of wood that FORM
ed the skate of his boyhood DAYS. To
the wood were attached the long straps
and the screw in the heel that fastened
the skate to the foot This skate, too,
was guttered, and the fellow that had
pair Of smooth bottoms" was the
envy and wonder of all the other boys.
The curly-toe gradually disappeared,
the long straps gave place to the dou-
bic toe-strap, and the hcrl-s.rap that
with its harness rings always reminded
one of halter, took flight with the old
wood-screw that used to be bored into
the boot-heel. Other changes followed
rapidly. Some bright skater conclud-
ed that better speed could be attained
if less of the steel touched the ice, and
the 'rocker" skate made its appear
ance. Another happy thought Knock
ed the toe-straps out in one round, and
gave the steel clamps, frightened by
means of a double screw and wrench,
in place of them. A plate in the boot
heel, and knob on the skate, said
goodbye" to the hcel-strap, and very
shortly afterward clamps similar to
those on the toe made the heel of the
skate nearly erfect. A mple turn of
the wrist connected the Two sets of
clamps with lever, and the skate was
made -Mlwaakee Globe. T'rhe Globe
might have added that the process of
evolution has TO very large extent
done away with ice skates. and substi-
tuted rollers, which are now all the
craze.

Adams Fall.

Ever since Adams fall, which sub
jected human nature to diseases of the
flesh, there has been a demand for
blood purifier. We all realize the fact
that upon the purity and vitality of the
blood depend the health and vigor of
the whole system, and that disease of
various kinds is often only sign that
nature is trying to remove the disturb
ing cause; hence reliable blood puri-
fer is of greater Importance to the peo-
pie than is generally supposed. We
are pleased to say that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla bears unmistakable proof of be-
ing this sort of a medicine, and we
think it worthy trial. limo
