A FLYING SKATE.
rho Queer Continuance With Which
Johnson Expects to Do Wonders.
From the Phlladelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
John S, Johnson, the champion skat-
or, cyclist and athlete, has turned his
attention to an invention which he thinks
will revolutionize skating contests as
thoroughly as the pneumatic tire did
cycling and the pnuematic suIky did
harness racing. Johson has always used
skates of a peculiar Renaissance" pat
tern, but his latest effort would remind
one of a submarine torpedo. a patent
has been applied for.
The new skate is sixteen and a half
inches long over all, and each skate will
weigh but four and a half ounces. The
material used is hardened copper. with
the exception of the blade that acts as
the runner. This is of the finest steel.
The tubular process, which insures great
strength with a minimum weight is
applied to the new skate. The body Of
the skate consists of a copper tube in
which the steel blade is flushed and
hard soldered, and the upright tube.
also copper, flushed and soldered to the
main tube. On these uprights rest the
sections of the "sole." Strength, rigid
ity, the absence of. friction and perfect
ly sound joints are secured by this com
bination of hard copper tubing
To make the skate designed to be used
in racing more reliable, johnson has
had constructed as part of the skate
shoes of an extra strong kind The
rigidity of the skate top is that Of the
shoe SOLE and the use of clamps. clutches
and straps is thereby obviated John
son VIII use the new skate in his coming
winter onslaught upon all kinds of ice
records. The invention is not the re-
suit OF nightmare or a spell of over
training" remarked johnson. but n
Too p
take to obtain a patent upon it until
1 had thoroughly demonstrated to my
own satisfaction that it was the appli-
anee needed TO annihilate space on ice"

h q Beloved Cow.
From a CaIeutta india Paper.

From a Calcutta Qndia) Paper.
Brethren, have come all the way
from the northwest to ask you to be
good and kind to our mother COW, the
COW that helped all of us to rear our
children, the COW that has helped all of
us to cultivate and fertilize our lands,
and the COW that is affOrding us the
best of good food that is to be found on
this earth, namely, milk. No one came
from the northwest to ask you to do this
before. Why? Because the cow did not
need protection. She was regarded both
by the Hindus and Mussulmans with ven
GRAFTON. No one ill-treated her, no one
tortured her, and no one was so cruel as
TO deprive her of life for the vile pur-
pose of eating her flesh.
But times have changed. We have a
government now that do not view the
crime of COW killing with hatred. Why
should they2 Our governors themselves
are the greatest beef eaters on the face
of the earth, and consequently they do
not sympathize with our feeling in the
matter. Nay, they encourage the whole
sale slaughter of COWS, so that where
there We're a few butchers only, thous-
ands and thousands have sprung up
whose sole business is to secure cows
and kill them
sec the effect Of all this general
slaughter on the country Lands are not
so Ierule as D6IOfe, not -DelnS manfred.
Our children are weak and sickly, not
having the nourishment they used to
have before, and our good fortune is de-
serting US on account of our sin in not
endeavoring to protect out mother COW.
So, unless you take heed of what l say,
you will soon find that you win be very
sorry. All your lands will cease to
yield, all your children viii grow up
weak and sickly, and our nation will be
extinct in a few generations

A SCARCITY OF wEAvERs.
Wages to Be RAISED at New Bedford to
Bring in New Hands.

New Bedford. Mass, Jan. 2.-There is a
great scarcity Of weavers in the mills in
this city, and two mills have advanced
wages to-day to induce weavers to come
here. and it is reported to-day that other
mills will follow the example set by the
Acustnet and Hallway mills. The cause
of this scarcity of mill operatives dates
back TO the recent big strike. During the
strike hundreds of families left town and
and many of these have wives in Canada
and England. These operatives left for
their homes. and it Is estimated that
about 1,oOO left during the long strike.
Many found employment at home and set
tied in other mill centers. a leader in the
Viewers Union to-day said that the only
way to remedy the matter was to raise
wages, and it would not surprise him very
much to hear Of a general advancement
in the wages of weavers very soon.

A ROACH As A PET.
1t Would Come Forth When Called, but
Alas! It Is Now No More.
From the Baltimore Sun.


Mr.. Harry c. Hopkins of S26 St.. Paul
street. one of the youngest members of
the Maryland Academy of Sciences, has a
special fondness for animals. In the past
few years he has had a great variety of
pets. so many in fact that his rooms
had more the appearance Of a menagery
than the abiding place of a young man.
Among his earliest pets were three frogs
which he raised from tadpoles. They be-
came so tame that they would recognize
his voice and run eagerly TO him when
ever they heard him speak.
His next pets were five screen owls,
which he kept in the garnet of his home.
One of the owls, which he called Bob.
became so accustomed to his voice that
it would screech back a reply when called
and would make haste to join Mr.. Hopkins
in the lower rooms Of the house.
Mr.. Hopkins had at other times rae
coons, oppossums, foxes, white mice and
white rats for pets.
The latest pet in his collection was the
most unique of them all, and was perhaps,
the only pet of the kind ever heard of. 1t
was a roach-an ordinary brown roach,
that ran out on his desk one day and took
a sip from drop of ink that had fallen
on the desk Mr.. Hopkins let the little
one day induced it to take a sip from the
point of his pen. After that, to tame the
roach was an easy matter, and he soon
had it so tame that it would come fronfAts
hiding place when called and would follow
the pen over the paper while Mr.. Hopkins
wrote.
Mr.. Hopkins did not enjoy the society Of
his little pet long. a new servant with a
mania for Cleaning up and an antipathy
