Ice Yachting.

Ice yachting is the king Of winter
sports on the lakes near Faribault, and
gives great excitemest and pleasure.
The boats travel mile minute. I'm
accompanied 10y the rumble and the roar
of the train, the ice boat is shot over the
CLASSY surface by power equally as tire
less as steam, giving to its passengers n
feeling of eXhilaration and excitement,
the pleasure of which is not leSsened by
the elements of danger
The novel sensations, the exhilarating
effect of iceboating must be experienced
to be appreciated, and if you would
actually fly through the air take a posi-
ton as ballast on the end of the runner
plank, and grasping the small wire rope
which supports the mast on that side,
hang on for dear life, for while you may
at times be ten feet in the air and NOV
ing at the rate of mile a minute, you
must 'stick" until the end of the jour
ney; you can't let go to get stronger
hold, nor get off and walk until the
meteor comes to standstill. You are
booked for through passage, unless
something breaks, in which case very
likely you will get off, but will not
stand upon the order of your going.
The boats are constructed with three
sharp steel runners in the form of a
triangle, the one at the rear being used as
a rudder. These runners are connected
by strong framework of planks, bolted
and fastened in every manner possible to
give the greatest strength, for the strain
on them is tremendous. The expanse of
sail, in comparison with the size of the
body or framework of the boat, is i'm
mense, and the material used must be
the strongest and the mast well braced
with wire ropes. -MiHaedp0lts Journal.

Ring gnaniums, if not more than six
months or year old, should never be
Fotted in more than five or six inch
pot. Begonias like plenty of water, rich
earth and all the sun they can get, so as
to dry off daily and drink again freely
next morning. Heliotropes should be
broken off at les-t once week for six
months. Breas Sff the last three inches
of each brSnch's growth, and make a

NOVEL WAY OF PRoPAGAr1Se ROSES.


Recently was conversing with man
who is rose enthusiast, and he told me
he had strong bushes Cf some of the best
hybrid perpetuals upon their own roots,
that he had rooted himself in n way
quite new to me. Having obtained II
suitable shoot, or several of them, they
were placed in an ordinary bottle which
contained some water, and this bottle
was hung upon the wall of the house in
Il sunny position and there left, water
being supplied to make up the deficiency
caused by evaporation. In this water,
which often becomes very warm from
the heat of the sun, the cuttings re-.
mained, and after short period they
calloused, when they were taken out and
dibbled into pots in the ordinary way
the formation of the roots soon taking
place.
The above plan was claimed as expedi-
tious, as the cuttings cslloused much
sooner in water than they did in the
soil, 1t is known that many things root
readily in water, and oleanders are fire.
quently propagated in that way, whilst
some Sedum spectabile that have lately
had in cut state had rooted freely
long before the flowers faded. With the
roses, if cutting is once nicely calloused,
success is almost a certainty, and if this
needed state can be brought about by
immersion of the base in water, we then
have a simple and valuable aid to rose
propagation, because it is much easier to
preserve alive a cutting placed in water
than it is one in the soil during its early
stage - Fici's Magazine.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The cities continue to gain on the coun- try. In ninety-two cities of the country having population of upward of 10000, the aggregate number of inhabitants is put at over 12, ,OOO, ,OO0, which is gain of near ly 50 per cent for the city population, com pared with that of the rural districts of the country.

A prominent hosiery merchant of New York says that the production of seamless hose in this country is 1,200, 900 pairs daily, or 35O, ,0OO, 900 pairs year, an aver age of more than five pairs year to man, woman and child in the country. This includes only the cheaper grade of stock ings, manufactured here.

She left immediately for Stuarts, Virginia, "where she has very pleasant position that is more in harmony with her refined feelings" Mines are mere holes in the ground to many who have invested in them.

 M. Berger, the director general of the re- cent French expedition, remarks that it is all nonsense to issue gold and silver med als to exhibitors, as in the majority of cases they are soon melted and their in trinsic value realized. The French ex- pended some $400, ,000 in this way and will not repeat the experiment.. Bronze med als, while cheaper than the others, do not accomplish the purpose, M. Berger thinks. In his opinion the best method is a simple diploma, awarded to different degrees of merit by different designation.
 Imperfect people can be pretty well fixed up nowadays. Practitioners in aural difficulties have of late resorted to new and improved antiseptic artificial mem brane, and with excellent results In many cases of chronic middle-ear disease marked benefit has followed it's insertion into the meatus, though the most striking successes have occurred in patients 1aboring under perforation of the membrane tympani, the artificial drumhead proving extremely sat isfactory-being also sometimes useful in cases of accommodative loss from altera- tions in the contents of the tympanum, in which the custodian tube was unobstruct- ed and the naso-pharynx fairly healthy. The immediate improvement in the hear ing power is an important fact in this case, the intensity of the sonorous vibration be- ing at once increased, and sounds are clear ly defined which before appeared to be only confusion.
 The common school is one of the glories of this country. The following is said to be literal copy of the rules posted on a school house door up in the Big Bend country: "Each pupil is required to make bow on entering the School House of morning, also on leaving the School Room of evening. There shall be no profain language used in School nor on the play grounds nor shall. there be no pinsticking, pinchin, scratchin, nor no taggin, nor no uneasy Whisperin in School. No pupil shall leve the School house without per mission of the Teacher. No uneasy moven from seat to seat. No ftin on the road from nor to School nor no Nick-namin. Every pupil over eight years shall be sub- jec to these rules, and the teacher is to make allowanse for the pupils under eight and enforce these rules accorden.

 [Hartford Letter to Springfield Republican,
 A revival of pretty custom occurred at the capitol on Friday, when the clerks gave dinner to the state officials and the heads of departments. The menu was fine and the occasion was a pleasant one. The noticeable thing about the lunch was the announcement on the part of General Merwin that he should be pleased to see them all remaining in their places in case he should be present officially at the capi- tol in the future. This was taken as an indication of civil service reform, which was pleasing to the clerks, although it is to be said that the changes in the clerical force at the capitol have been infrequent. Another incident of the dinner was the meeting of Governor Bufkeley and Gen. eral Merwin for the first time since the nomination of the latter. The meeting was very cordial and the two men had a friendly conversation lasting several min utes As an indication that there is really no ssBulkeley disaffection" it is pertinent to call attention to the fact that the gov ernor has provided quarters for the town committee at his own expense.

Senator Platt.

Then, regarding national affairs, it is no reflection on his illustrious predecessors to say that Connecticut was never more eff ciently or more infuentially represented at Washington than by our present United States senator, Hon. O. H. Platt. He has grown, in his twelve years service, into a promident national character, whose name is as we'll known in Oklahoma as in Con- necticut and yet the great prestige has never tempted him to grow away or be led away from the simplicity of the plain citi- zenship of the Nutmeg state, his tastes and habits being the same to-day as distin- guished national leader as when he wss the unpretentious citizen of our state. To in sure the reelection of such a man by the next legislature should, of itself, insure the political complexion of that body for the republicans, and we do not doubt but it will be all right with the zeal and inter est the republicans, and other friends of Senator Platt are already showing.- Meriden Republican.

Courtship. Trom the New York Ledger.l

 From the New York Ledgerl
 Hearts cannot always be taken by storm. Wooing may be too nasty and precipitate, as we'll as too slow. A man who offers himself to a woman before he has made sure of her affections is very liable to re ceiye stNo" for an answer, when, with a little delay and assiduity combined he might have made it .sYes."
 There is an instinctive pride in woman which makes her rebel against the idea of being too quickly and too easily won. She naturally thinks he must hold her love cheap who supposes it may be had by a comparative stranger for the mere ask ing.
 Even in the case of mutual love at first sight, she does not willingly forego the pleasures of the delightful period of court ship. The wild bird woes his mate with long and mellifuous song; and woman feels it her right to exact homage before marriage.

FOR SENATOR.

The Republicans of Connecticut are making excellent nominations this year. They started in with State ticket headed by Lieutenant Governor Merwin, and in all the nominations they have tried to keep up to the mark. The nominations in this region have been such as to add strength to the situation, as they ought to be- The selection of MT. Hubbard as can- didate for Congress and of Lieutenant Colonel Lee for Sheriff were in the right line, and the senatorial convention did not go astray MT. Hamilton is good lawyer, debater of unusual skill and force, and a man of experience in public affairs. His modest speech of acceptance has furnished the Register with the idea that he doesn't expect to be elected, and that it will be an easy matter to defeat him. It is cheerful view for the Register to take, but it is not the correct one. Mir. Hamilton has ele- ments of strength as candidate which will make themselves felt in way that may surprise the Register and Br'er Fox. It is not safe to count chickens until they are matched Let every Republican in the district work heartily and consistently for Mr. Hamilton.
