Dancing on Skates.

Everybody has seen and taken part
in the ordinary conventional society
dances at balls and At Homes, but how
many have seen, let alone taken an ac-
tive part in, the may dance on skatl s
to music in a covered rink?
Canada probably is the only place n
the continent where such a scene eau
be witnessed. Every afternoon at tn .
skating Kinks are seen graceful young
girls, accompanied by stalwart, athletic
looking youths, dancing to the music I
a military band. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe the grace, ease and apparent lack
of exertiOn with which these captiva-
tive young women go through the most
intricate figures. The on-looker is COM
pletely mystified and watches the scene
as if in a tran &c. The skirts appear to
emit sweet melody as they sway to aud
fro. Every twist and turn of their 1.-THE
young bodies is bewitching to the be-
holder, and he gaZes on the scene,till hc
becomes dizzy with emotion. AT last
it is over, and as he gives a sigh of in
tense enjoyment, he descends to earth

At the carnival to be held in Ottawa

WOMEN, GET STRENGTH
No Excuse for Debility and
Nervousness.
What Paine's Celery Compound
Does lin a Few Short Weeks - It
Makes q Tremendous Difference
With Tired, SicAly Women.
TBosToN HERALD.1

In thousands of homes some one,
father, mother or brother, is actually
dying from starvation of the nerves and
blood. This lack of nutrition of some
vital part is not usually called by the
harsh word starvation" but it
amounts to the same thing. 1t is called
dyspepsia, neuralgia, Bright's disease,
rheumatism or nervous prostration,
headaches or sleeplessness.
This general feeling of discomfort
throughout the body shows literal
starvation of some of the important
organs of the body, either heart, kid
neys, stomach, liver or nerve centres.
Scores of men and women showing
their first gray hair, who in business
and society wear smiling counte-
nance, are tormented in private by a
dependency they can scarcely explain,
which renders their life almost unen-
durable. Such mental depression, fall
ing short of insanity, occurs most often
at the turning point'' of life, or soon
after it, and is a lamentably common
complaint.
After middle life the body often be-
comes bloodless, the nerve tissues i'm
poverished. Then Paine's celery COM
pound supplies building material for
used-up blood aud nerves. 1t makes
people strong, ruddy and well. 1t reg
ulates the nerves, feeds their wasted,
exhausted parts, purifies the blood of
all dangerous humors and brings back
strength and health. Where there is a
gradual loss ofstrength, a growing thin
ness, irritability and nervousness,
Paine's celery compound keeps up the
strength and resists the final break.
down to state of invalidism and OF
constant suffering that is likely to
come where nothing is done to check
the wasting process.
| 1t is upon women that the great bur.
den of firing, eXhausting and petty
duties fall.
Hundreds of homes might be saved
from sickness and unhappiness if the
wife OF the husband or some member OF
the household could only see how neal
aid and comfort is to the dear ones whC
are slowly dropping and relaxing theil
interest in the things about them, pre-.
paratory to leaving them forever
Paine's celery compound is within the
reach of every home in the land where
there is illness. 1t has met the unquali
fed approval of reputable physicians o.
every school.

Gallant Lilliputians.
From TRUTH

In the middle ages the court testers
we've dwarfs, but history relates that,
though they made others laugh they
generally were cloudy-minded little
men with sore hearts who could vie
with giants in grumbling. 1t is not SC
with the merry Lilliputians, the petit
actors, who please their audience and
yet retain enough exuberance of spirits
to disport themselves occasionally fol
their own small personal enjoyment.
For instance, those tiny gentlemen,
Ebert and link, perpetrated refresh.
ing joke recently. They were both in a
Broadway car, occupying adjoining
seats. Soon the car filed. A lady got
in and had to stand. Seeing this, Ebert
jumped up and politely offered his
place. But the lady was fine-a very
fine woman. She looked at the homeo.
pathic quantum of seating accommoda.
ton which had ample sufficed for the
gentleman ofreduced inches, crimsoned
and remained standing. Instantly
alive to the situation of affairs, link,
too, spran@ up with:
"Ach Madame tanghquc (takc)
booSe our seats J"
The laughter DELAYED the car some
seconds, and the conductor was lined.
He says, though, that the joke was
worth the MONEY.

pletely paralyzed, and unable to speak
at all, until about noon of the following
Tuesday when he passed away. His
eldest son, William Sargent of Bellows
Falls, was notified by telephone and
reached his fathers bedside Saturday
evening. DR.. A. A. Haige of Spring
field was called but medical skill could
avail nothing. So closes the life of a re-
spected townsman who has seen full
share of sorrow, and whose life of "A
years has since early childhood been
one of unremitting toll. The long
strained bow has broken at last.

He Knew,
from the Boston Transcript

There is vast difference between a
learned man and an ignoramus. For
instance, when Fogg asked Dundahead
how 1t was that birds could fly, Dunda-
head could only reply:
g." Cause they can"
But, when Kutchins was asked the
same question, he settled his head in
his collar, pursed up his lips and de-
livered himself thus:
The secret of the birds flight is due
entirely to the fact that the bird
possesses the power to sustain itself in
and to propel itself through the air."
Fogg very truly remarks that the SOL
luton seems easy enough after it is
found, bat none but a wise man would
have discovered it.

He Will Wear Knickerbockers and Rain
bow Colors.


Some bold and prophetic scribes both
on this side Of the Atlantic and in Europe,
are now predicting a complete transforms
tion in masculine attire. They do not go
SO far as to state that 1t will be evacuated
in favor of the "new woman, but they do
imply that the present styles in men,
clothing will some few years hence appear
as ludicrous In our eyes or In the eyes of
our children as the shaven heads, massive
wigs and bran stuffed breeches of our fore
fathers are now looked upon by us.
In the development of this modification
in mems wearing apparel, they state, one
OF the first essentials will doubtless be the
abolition Of trousers and the introduction
of neither garments, most probably Of the
knee breeches or knickerbocker form, ar
ranged SO as to adorn and not conceal the
supremely beautiful lines of the natural
legs. Concurrently with this change will
be the adoption of brighter colors for dress
purposes, something more elaborate than
the dingy grays and somber blacks which
now depress the eye in our most fashion
able promenades. But whether this pre-
sumably suitable and graceful costume
will materialize is matter for the future
to determine. 1t Is safe to say that we
won't see much Of it for some time to
come.-Clothier and Furnisher.
