BOILER SKATING.
Something Of a Fad which Had n Brief
but Brilliant Reign

Oah EAAitst Neigh
II a comprehensive history of American
esting chapters Of the work will be that de
voted to the marvellous story of the rise and
fall in popular favor Of roller skating. No
pastime ever won its way into the good
grnces Of the public with greater rapidity,
and when the Juror of enthusiasm with which
the masses greeted the new diversion and the
unflagging devotion of its disciples is consid-
cred, it cannot be denied that its short lived
roign, its decadence and almost total EXITING
ton in America is no less astounding than its
wonderful and sudden popularity.
The idea of popularizing the old time sport
Of parlor skating by offering the public the
opportunity OF indulging in that pastime
in ~commodious and p~alatial quarters at a
reasonable rate was a novel and attractive
scheme. The English originator OF the plan
opened the first rink in London about twenty
years ago. The enterprise was successful,
and proved a veritable gold mine to its pro
jector, and instantly a myriad OF Kinks
sprang up in all the larger cities OF Great
Britain. Many OF these made money for tho
proprietors, but for n short time only. The
feverish interest in skating was shortly sue
ceeded by a general apathy on the part of
the public which resulted in deserted Kinks
and bankrupt managers.
1t was reserved to a wide awake Boston
gentleman to bring about In our western
world a renaissance of the pastime. In 1888
Mr.. @. NJ Raymond, of this city, opened
here in the hechanics' building the first rink
ever started on this continent. The venture
was successful beyond his most sanguine an
ticipations. Bostonians, ever ready to take
up a new fad, hocked to the rink night and
day, and the city rang with the praises of the
fascinating sport Kinks multiplied, and the
contagion of enthusiasm for the pastime
spread rapidly throughout the country. In
three years $50, 600, 900 was invested in roller
skating throughout the Omitted States, and
two men in the patent Office at Washington
did nothing else but pass patents on roller
skates and improvements. Then the reaction
set In.
The sport and its associations were decried
in certain circles, and a vigorous crusade in
auguruted against it. The consequent speedy
decline is fresh in the mind of the reader.
With the falling away of patronage the Kinks
were closed, and tho skates, which were sold
for fancy prices, were put on the market be
low cost. Even then they found no purchns-
ers other than the occasional small boy bent
on risling life and limb on the uneven pave
ment of the city street. 1t would appear
that roller skating as q popular sport was
dead beyond resurrection. Whether the
sport will ever again win its way to the
hearts of Americans Is a mooted question, but
In q distant quarter of the globe the pastime
lives and flourishes as it never did here. At
tho present time tho roller skating craze is at
white heat throughout Australia. The peo-
pie of that island continent have taken up our
discarded fad and breathed new life into it.

French Exposition Prizes.

From partial list of the prizes award
ed to Americans at the French exposi-
ton we CLEAN few of the most import
ant. Americans have received premiums
for beer, some machinery, educational
exhibits and silverware. The Boston
public schools naturally took a grand
prize. Several California wines got a
gold medal, and one exhibitor of Cali
fornia wines obtained a grand prize.
United States government displays from
the various departments-maps, draw
ings and papers on agricultural, scien-
tifc and military topics-received sew
eral grand prizes, testifying to the
excellence of the work. Lard from
Philadelphia, canned meats from Chi
cago and various electrical inventions
received gold medals, while Edison and
Elihu Thompson display grand prizes.
New York carriages took grand prize.
So did Cincinnati wood working ma
chimes and Philadelphia fur hats. FL
nally, the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union carried off gold medal,
why we are not told, unless it is for
being good and pretty girls.

The Goose Bone Prophet.

We knew it. We knew the venerable
gray goose bone prophet would make his
appearance simultaneously with the fall
of the leaf and the stovepipe joke.
The true bone is the sharp blade from
the breast of goose that was Matched in
spring, and has trace of wild blood. A
row of dots around the keel of the bone
forecasts the weather. The darker these
spots, the colder the weather will be.
Contrary to corn husk lore, the goose
bone says there will be very mild win
ter. "There will not be many days in
which running water will freeze" The,
coolest weather will come the latter half
of January, and the coolest day Of all
will be Jan. q. The January thaw will
come in February, and there will be dis
astrous foods and dam bursting, and the
fiend to pay generally. After that we
shall have an early spring. We ought to.

The Arsenic Fashion.

The Mayb trial in Liverpool and
the testimony given in evidence that old
Maybrick used arsenic and whisky for a
tonic, and Mrs. Maybrick used the same
poison for her "conlexion, have had q :!
curious result. 1t has stimulated the
sale of arsenic cocktails and complexion
waters to an unbeard of extent in Amer
lea as well as in Europe. Other fools Of
both sexes desire to test the May brick
recipes for themselves. Arsenic nos
trums for both the inside and outside of
the human animal are plentiful on the
market. There are probably women
crazy enough to try any means under the
sun to secure good complexion, except
the one method prescribed by nature and
hygiene.
An unusual crime or out of the way
achievement of any sort is sure to find
plenty of imitators. This fact seems to
favor the presumption that mankind are
descended from ne monkey.

Our Visitors.

The most distinguished of the Spanish
gentlemen now receiving Yankee hospi-
tality is Senor Matias Romero, Mexican
minister to the United States since 1882.
From Guatemala comes the leading lit
erary man of that little country, Senor
Ferdinand Cruz, IL. D., though what a
literary man could know about CONNER
cial relations is hard to tell. The dele
cation from the Argentine Republic is a
brainy one. Its chairman is Minister
Quesada, at Washington. The delegate
from Bolivia is a newspaper man, Juan
Francisco Velarde. The Venezuelan dele
gate, is also journalist Many of the
delegates from the different countries
are lawyers.
At this time the whole array of distin-
guished guests are making the grand
tour of the country. The plan is to show
them our manufactures and our massive
and mighty agricultural products; also
our military resources in case of war, and
to impress them on general principles
that the United States is no end of
great country anyhow, richly worth trad
ing with.
With this view, after brief inspection
of West PoinA, the party were taken first
to New England. In admiration not un-
mingled with awe they gazed upon
Yankee cotton mills, Yankee carpet,
hosiery and woolen mills. They inspected
thread factories and shoe and silk fac
tories, edge tool works and the Waltham
Watch company's buildings. They gazed
on the gilded top of the Massachusetts,
state house. They scented the awful air
of Boston culture and lived. In each
place where there is time for it they re-
ceivc banquet and reception.
By the time their six weeks tour is
ended our national guests will have
travelled 5000 miles on our steamers and
in our palace coaches. They will have
seen and smelled the Standard oil Of
Cleveland, O.; they will have witnessed
pork slaughtering in Chicago, and tasted
the beer and admired the cream coloreG
brick of Milwaukee. At Ann Arbor they
will have beheld something to make
Spanish eyes stand out with wonder, a
splendid university where young men
and women get their education together.
and in the same classes, peaceably and
with no nonsense.
They will go west as far as Omaha,
then, returning, they will take peep at
Kentucky and see the pretty girls and
fast horses of the Blue Grass region. AT
Cincinnati their path will be made
smooth by discovering that that city
makes more glycerine than any other
place in the world does Thence by way
Of Pittsburg and its iron works our
guests will return to Washington, But
it is thousand pities they will not visit
the iron works Of the new south too.
Morris tribune., 1889-10-09
Be Strong and Well.

A clergyman lately began an address
to meeting of working young men as
follows: II am never happy until have
seen the extra baseball edition, and I am
with you in the hope that the Dashers
will take the pennant. These words
were greeted with yells that fairly raised
the roof. Seriously it is matter for great
rejoicing if the baseball craze has stimu-
lated the desire for athletic culture in
this country. If the present interest in
athletics continues, as it is to be hoped
it will, we shall soc1 hear no more of
the physical degeneracy of the present
generation.
Our white faced students and dwellers
in offices are beginning to find that sun
light and open air exercise will do quite
as much for them as it did for the pio-
neers. When we add to this the all round
development that systematic athletic cul-
ture gives, the result will be human
being magnificent enough physically to
have filed the ideal of even the old
Greeks. For sunshine, open air and the
exercise that is not grinding toll are the
true elixir OF life. Through them we
gain the vital principle in its purest. es-
sence. They keep the human being
bright, breezy and good tempered.
1t is encouraging to note the move
ment among national guard regiments
IN the direction of gymnastic training.
In some Of the armories first class gym
nasiums have been fitted up, with a
trained teacher. A man is measured
there from head to foot and the meas
urements are compared with a model.
Thus his muscular deficiencies are dis
covered and he is put in training accord
ingly. In a year or two these regiments
will show not only we'll drilled soldiers
but splendid physical men.
Germany has today 100000 trained
athletes belonging to the Turner society,",
Men like these it was who wrested AL
SAGE and Lorraine from France in 1870.
1t is the strong armed, broad chested
man who wins, in peace and in war.
Another excellent result of physical
training is that those who attain the
best results in athletic culture must keep
themselves rigidly from excesses in smok-
ing and drinking.
A writer says the English girls of to-
day are noticeably taller than their
mothers, and it is attributed to the per-
sistent outdoor exercise of the women of
that country for the past two genera
tions. English girls and even middle
aged women ride, row, hunt, swim,
shoot and sail their own yachts. An
English woman will sometimes walk
eighteen miles in day. In our own
country we have reason to be thankful
that the consumptive beauty of the past
is changing into the Junonian type,
made ~.fnFs-strenqth and wear. If the
English maiden plays tennis and 1eysa
cricket with vim and enthusiasm equal
ly with her brother, the American bell
is fast tending the same way. TIL
American girl of the future will be n
weakling. Strong, 1.-the and graceful
she will be the fit daughter of a countr.,
destined to witness the perfect flower
ing of mankind.
