Mr.. Webster determined to try the offend

for the plaintiff, and showed how the fox
had about cleared out the WebSterian hen

up with the air of on who was to lead the

"A Popular Pastime Among the InhaD-

When the ports of the Baltic are
closed by ice in the winter the inhab-

besides serves to keep up communities

much skill. and saii-sk ating can be
learned only after great deal of prac-
tice. When once acquired, however,
it affords keen pleasure, and those
practicing it feel as if they were act

if there is good breeze blowing. The
sail used is in two parts, and formed
of a light but strong fabric, stretched
over a wooden frame carried on the
back by the skater The center croSs-
piece. which is placed at the height of
the shoulders, is fastened round the
body by bands crossing the breast and
passing round the waist, SO that they
can be tied in front. Cross-pieccs at

are held by the skater crosswise, by
which he is able to trim the sail and
steer himself by it. If the skater de-

against the wind, by skating in the

sail no longer offers purchase to the
wind. To make the return journey the
sail is again unfolded. If the skater

speed may be attained in sail-skating,
but it is less than with sailing ice-boats

In Washington usually contain their
residences and their calling day. 1t is
common for lady to take her hus-
bands card with her. and it is by card
that half of the calls of Senators and
Representatives are made. The ladies
do the calling. The custom of turning
down cards prevails here to larger
extent than in any other parts of the
United States. To one who under

it. The following diagram will illus
