Skating in Holland.

In Holland tile numerous canals and
other water-courses being hard frozen
allow that nation of skaters, men,
women and children, 10 90 about their
private business or pleasure as readily
as in summer
Everybody can skate; it is not a
mere sportye or fashionable accom-
plishment; the peasant goes in This
way to market, the tradcsman to his
shop, the artisan or laborer to his
WORK; whole families, carrying bag
or basket or baby, skate from their
rustic homes to the nearest town for
holiday treat or friendly visit.
The distances in Holland are not too
great; students of the University of
Utrecht, for example, can skate in the
day 10 a social dinner even at Amstcr-
dam, and get back to college by the
appointed hour at night. The journey
between Lcyden and Amsterdam has
been done by very good skaters in
little more than half an hour. The
ladies of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and
the Hague are the most graceful lady
skaters in Europe.
There are two different schools OF
the art Of skating-that of Friesand,
which is more practical, aiming at
speed and the performance of long
Journeys in short time, insists on a
perfectly erect and rigid position of
the body, darting straight forward,
while the fashionable Dutch school is
rather intent on the artistic display of
skill in winding and turning, usually
with swaying motion, from light to
left and from left TO right, keeping a
fine balance of the head and arms.
The practitioners of this ornamental
skating will inscribe the most compli-
Gated and fantastic figures or write
their names and other words. even
whole sentences on the ice; but all
that is fancy work. Skating among
the country folk is part of the ordinary
customs of life, and is one of the
things which Dutch children have to
learn at an carly age. - London
Graphic.

Amber.

Genuine amber is by no means so
plentiful as it was some years ago, and
amber cigar holders and pipe stems
will probably rise in price. The genu-
inc amber is a fossil gum, which was
produced in large quantities by trees
having a resinous sap, which flowed
1ow1r~' Sfe trunks and collasse2 in
masses at the root. 1t is found in the
ground of marshes and other places
where forests fiourished in former
times, and is also obtained by dredg-
ing The German Ocean, Baltic and
Black Seas formerly produced it in
great quantities, but the supply is con-
stantly decreasing, and, unless other
fields are discovered, real amber will
soon be scarce and costly. There is
some satisfaction in knowing that the
imitation is just as good i'm every way,
so that even if the real amber gives out
there need be no diminulion in the
number of holders for cigars or mouth
pieces for pipes. In this country com
paratively little is u,ed save for this
purpose, but in India and China large
humps are in great demand, for, from
some cause. an amber idol is far more
highly esteemed than golden image,
and so the best amber all goes to the
East TO be made into gods for the
pagans. --TGreat Divide.

How Lot of Urcnins Saw the Circus.

How Lot of Urchins Saw the Circus.
People were willing TO pay almost
any price for tickets of admission to
the last Republican convention, says
the Chicago Times, and yet it was the
easiest place in the world TO get into,
if one only had the requisite check.
One man, and no very big one, either,
hut just one of the common herd, took
a plain note head and wrote: "Chief
Door-keepcr Republican Conventions;
You will pass Il. f. Jones and f. 7.
Smith," and merely signed his name
to the order. 1t was good, and still
the writer had no more right TO make
such request than TIN soldier.
When a gentleman had related the
above incident someone remarked that
it might be easy TO gain admission to
a convention by the aid of cheek, but
one couldn't work circus that way.
"Thats where you are wrong"
said third person; 81 am we'll aware
that cheek is a commodity the circus
man has usually large stock of, but
| saw it most successfully used against
him one day. 1t was circus day down
on the Lake Front; the ordinary large
crowd was there, standing around
listening to the music and loafing
generally; the small boys We're there
waiting for any possible chances which
might offer of 'gettin' in A man
went up to group of anxious urchins.
WANT to go in, boysY said he.
"'Nas; bet yer life we do came in
chorus from the lads. They marched
UP in front Of the doOr-tender. Count
these boys sal / the man, and the
gundsman of the moral exhibition
checked the lads off with his finger as
they rushed by him and scattered on
the inside.
"'One, two, three, counted the
doorkeepor. and hna!'y announced
eleven.
".All right, said the man, 'all right
that's all, and he turned away.
".lIold on there said the circus
man, 'are you going to pay for those
boys?'
'Pay for 'em' said the stranger,
'wclI, guess not; said nothing about
paying for EN-; just wanted to know
how many there were; you circus
men are good at figures, and | amt,
all asked you TO do was to count
them. Much obliged And away he
went, astonishment at the surprising
cheek preventing the doorkeeper from
making any~further effort to stop him.
Oh, yes, the circus can be worked"

How Rich Mines Are rn,,nh-


Few people IN this part Of the coun-
try have any idea of the difficulty of
finding mine. \ man who follows
it for living must thoroughly UNDER
stand the nature of the district in
which hc is. Different sorts of mines
are found in different ways, SAYS a
writer in the St. Louis Globc-Demo-
crat. If you arc in placer district,
of course, You have nothing TO do ex-
cept to walk along stream, with pan
in your hand, and test the soil by
washing till YOU come to pay dirt. But
if you know nothing about it, YOU will
waste a great deal of time testing dirt
that an experienced prospector would
know at a glance contained no gold
