THE OLD FOLKS AND THE DEACONS PUNG.
steersman's passenger used to sit on the
front of the sled Turk fashion, well pro-
tected by the half encircling arm thai
was extended forward to grasp the roller,
the only disadvantage suffered being the
fact that such proximity of lips as this
manner of riding allowed sometimes
distracted ths attention Of the young
man from the road ahead.
The ride down the long west hill oc-
cupied from three to five minutes, &C
cording to the sled and the ability OF the
steersman. The rider firstat the tophad
the right to the first start. The next to
follow had not the right to start till the
first curve. about Is rods down, had
been passed by the leader. This was to
minimize the danger of accident in case
the leader upset or was thrown off his
sled. The ride down the north hill on
tho crust took up not more than min
ute and sometimes not quite that. But
two sleds could be on that descent at the
same time for like precautionary reasons.
ONLY the most skillful riders were allow
ed to 90 down the crust, and passengers
were mostly barred. AS it was. most OF
the sleds going down with but one rider.
there were twice as many accidents on
the ernst as on the road, but serious
hurts were rare. the worst ones being the
result of stones sticking up through the
crust. When stone was struck by
fyins sled runner, there was immediate
| " some remarkable ground and lofty
| tumbling. with subsequent bruises and
| black and blue spots and applications Of
| arnica.
| The meteoric rapidly of the trip down
| the hills was quite offset by the slowness
| of the tramping mp hill. But these up
| ward marches were not tedious. Iney
| were beguiled by song and story and ri
| ral Jest and an occasional rough and
| tumble in the SHOW that added to the
| Youthful spirits of the trampers and pre-
| vented all semblance of dizziness.
Toward the middle of February the
| older inhabitants began to take hand,
and the silver beaded old chaps that had
| skated earlier in the season rode down
the hill more than once apiece just to
show the youngsters how to steer. in
this they did not succeed remarkably
well. but they liked the fun that they
had not before enjoyed since theiz
youth so much that they finally got out
Deacon Bixby's ''pung," had 1t hauled
| about a third of the way up the west
hill, had two handsleds dashed TO the
| pole. the two best steersmen of The hooH
| took their places ON the sleds, and .
dozen or more of the old folks got into
the '.pung," and down the hill they
went, shrieling and laughing like sG
many children. l. ID. MARSHALL

GOING DOWN THE CRUST ''STRADDLE.'
1isions with sleighs and foot passengers
is obvious. The roll of its victims, as
published from day to day IN the north
ern newspapers, some winters is long
and appalling. The length of this roll
is contributed to by the use of the "dead-
" bob" clumsy continuance fit only
for short, uncrowded inclines.
The best coasting country is not too
broken. The hills must not be too high
or too steep. The confguration of ter
ritory must be of the sort that is called
rolling" and the slopes must be long
as well as comparatively gentle, SO that
a ride of mile or more may be enjoyed.
Given such territory, plenty of boys and
girls and a good winter, and '.riding
down hill" will flourish to the enjoyment
OF everybody, the deepening of chests,
the painting of cheeks, the Frightening
Of eyes and the hardening of muscles.
In fine, there is no doubt that it is as
beneficial as it is thrilling.
The unparalleled six weeks of skating
that were vouchsafed to the youngsters
and their elders who inhabited the vii
lage called The Hook during the win
ter Of 1867 were followed by full
month of such excellent conditions for
coaching as brought into being craze
only less pronounced and widespread
than that which was manifested on the
ice. The snow fell to the depth of about
two feet at first. Every day it thawed
lust q little, and once or twice week an
inch or two of fresh snow fell. The
winter winds that year were singularly
mild, and the drifts were corresponding
" easy to manage. There were two
favorite rides that winter. One was
down the long, easy "west hill' road and
the other across the fields and down the
sleeper north hill
The west hill road led from the village
to a woods surrounded plateau, whereon
dwelt half dozen families only. Be
cause these inhabitants were SO few the
traffic over the road was small and the
danger from collision between sleds and
sleighs and cutters slight. The road had
no long, precipitous reaches, no short.
sharp turns, no high and dangerous
banks on its lower side for careless
steersmen to run off and break their
necks or their arms or their legs. 1t was
a good mile and half long, gently slop-
ing most of the way, but with an occa-
sional ''pitch" to lend excitement, two or
three curves that rendered good steering

There were no deadly hobs" in The
HOOK. There were to my knowledge
but two ''boughten" sleds. The owner
OF q gayly painted and fancy sled from
& store was Jeered at by his companions
as a girl boy" The best sIeds were
constructed by the village wagon maker.
and about half OF them were .E.ee
sIeds and the rest boards" There vs.,s
q great diversity of opinion as 20 -
proper shape OF sled runner. Some
held that it should be low an1 sharp.
with a slight. long curve, others that it
Should be high and with rather short
rounding curve.
All agreed, however, that the runner
must be supplemented by good ''shoe.
and concerning this important point
there was again great diversity uf
opinion. Thick cast iron shoes were T.
yorite with those who lived east of the
millpond; thin. slender steel shoes with
those who lived west. Singularly enough,
though the matter of sled shoes had be i
argued every winter for 10 years when I
first knew The Hook, it was as far from
settlement as ever when / left the place.
Victory would perch on the banner Of
the ''cast ironers" after all exciting race
down north hill, only TO shift to that Of
the steel contingent the next day after
an equally exciting trial of speed down
west hill. TWAS thegeneral consensus Of
Hook opinion at the close of that season,
believe, that the steel shoes were best on
road work, while the cast ones were bet
ter for crust riding. But the next WIN
ter the controversy broke ont anew with
al its original virulence and intensity.
There were then and still are three
ways of steering a sled-bellySut.
astrid-straddle, Hookers called it
and kurntZ / am not sure about the
proper spelling of this word, which can
only be arrived at when its derivation
has been discovered. 1t is not in any
dictionary so far as I know, and have
spelled it Theoretically. The kurntz steer
er sat ON his doubled under left les,
swung his right leg behind the sled like
a rudder, grasped the roller of his sled
firmly with his left hand and the res
end of the bsard with his right. Fac
method of steering had its advocate
.'Bellygut" was least in favor among the
| bows because the rider could not see wei
and was in danger of butting his brains
out, and among the parents because II
| was a great deal harder on shoe leather
| than the other two methods. 1t was
used very little on either of the long
| rides.
"Straddle" steering was safest if more
| than one passenger was to be taken on
| the sled, but kurntz was the general ia
vorite. 1t certainly possessed decided
advantages when the steersman was a
sturdy young fellow, booted to the knee,
broad shouldered and deep chested. and
the passenger a star eyed, pink checked,

The Benefits of a Good Yawn.

One of the very best of relax
ing exercises is the yawn A good
stretching of arm invigorates the en-
tire body with a wave of energy, fol-
lowed by complete relaxation. The
yaws is the body's natural cry for re-
Enforcement, and in that very cry
comes an answer in part, for every
time that part or the whole of the
body is relaxed, even for moment,
there is added some portion of vital
energy.
Yawning helps to conquer your ner-
vousness and insomnia. So, when
fretted, anxious and nervous, try the
yawning exercise.
Sit easily, with the back supported,
take long, full breath through the
wide open mouth, at the same time
gradually energizing the whole body,
stretching the arms above the head and
the legs outward in front. This should
produce yawn. Repeat the exercise
until the yawn becomes quite unvoi-
