assumed to be Mr.. Rhodes-a short

merely found an ally in Mr.. Rhodes,

to be in repose while in motion, which
periodically expresses the exact con-
diti0n. there Is nothing that so closely
approaches the much talked of poetry
Of motion" as a graceful skater. 1t
Is when swiftly gliding over the SHIN
mering surface Of good bit Of ice that
one so keenly enjoys an indefinable
eXuberance of spirits. This bubbling
over of good feeling is as spontaneous
as 1t Is infectious. and accounts for
the irrepressible. boisterous merriment
that characterizes a skating crowd.
1t is indeed pity that such an in
MIGRATING and delightful sport as this
should in any way have touch Of the
freakishness of fashion. There is,
when moderately INDUCED in, no more
health giving sport in the world than
skating. and it is very gratifying to
note that it is becoming more popular
than ever. Never before in its history
has skating been in such favor as dur
ing the present season. This does not
only apply to Chicago. or the rest OF
the United States, but in all countries
where ice Is available the same cOndi-
ton holds good. says Chicago Chron-
icle.
Skating in the open air is absolutely
essential to the highest enjoyment of
the sport. A skaters greatest delight
is to have a gOodsized sheet of gleam-
ing ice set in the picturesque frame OF
snow-covered landscape. with an oc-
casional bejeweled tree or clump
of deep green pines to break the mo-
notony Of the dazzling whiteness. Our
picture shows a party OF skaters on the
lake at Lincoln park. Chicago.

AT meeting in Exeter Hall, London,
Cardinal Manning eloquently said, con-
corning the liquor traffic:
What are all our politics compared
with this great question? We want
good helmsman at the wheel. and we
want sober crew on board! And if
there be one thing which demoralizes
people more rapidly than any other, it
Is that which makes the brains of men
reel and their hearts to be passionate
ana inflamed, and the wills of men to
be unsteady and weak. in the hour of
temptation; and when | know that in
toxicating drink is doing all this, and
that in the great centers of our in
dustry. just there where the people are
crowded together, where the national
life is intensified. as it were, into a
focus-when l know that the evil is
spreading itself with the greatest in
tensity, ask, what are We about? How
is it that men who profess to be states
men and politicians. waste their time
and the time of the legislature before
they take this subject in hand?"

Some time previous the emperor had
issued a proclamation announcing the
1etes that would be held when his
enid was born, and closing with these
words: The emperor has decided that
he will be godfather, and the emnress
sodmother of all the legitimate chill
dren born in France upon the auspici-
Gus day." Napoleon II. intended that
the title of "godson" which he thus no.
slowed should be purely decorative
one, but many Of the fond parents did
not SO understand it, and applied to the
emperor for more substantial on
dowment. There are a few instances
on record where the quest was not in
vain.
NO end of poetry was written on the
occasion. and one quatrain of Theophi]e
Gautier has survived. In it the poet
says that the royal heir is a blonde
Christ child, who bears in his little
hand for a globe the peace of the
world and the happiness of human kind.
The Song of the Godsons" was the
title OF another interesting bit of verse
that was printed and sold on the bou-
levards at that time and was extremely
popular.

II has been said that no exercise eX-

all the muscles simultaneously. While
this, no doubt, is perfectly true. the
same may be said in 10 less degree of
skating. Not only this, but very i'm
pOrtant point in the latlcr's favor is
that while skating the body is kept in
its normal position, which is not the
case in swimming. When skating,

When you are dieting to reduce flesh
you must eat stale bread and give I'D

anything which even suggests sugar or
starch. Dry toast without butter. tea
without either milk OF sugar, rare meat

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
| Something About the Greatest Institu-
ton of its Kind in the World.

On the 9th of last July the Bank Of
England reached its 200th birthday
says the Bank Register 1t is the great
est bank in the world. In its early days
the bank employed ffty-four clerks,
and the yearly salary list amounted 10
but little over $4,000 the chief ac-
countant receiving S1.225 year. At the
present time the number of employees
is 1,500. No note of the $4,000 Or SO
issued daily is ever issued again. Each
note as il is paid in is cancelled and an
account kept of its filings. One of the
curiositics of the bank is 25-pOund
note which was paid in after being out
Ill years. In the bank album for large
notes and other curiositieS is a 1900,
000-pound bank note which was once
issued for convenience in transaction
involving a large amount of money.
Whether lost or stolen, the bank 5 notes
will always be paid. Once a clerk ran
away with 100000 worth of notes. For
six months the theft and number of
notes were advertised, and at the end
,, of that time a Jew appeared with them
and demanded that they be paid. On
being refused he went to the exchange
and raised such an cutlery, saying that
as the bank refused to pay its own
notes, it must be insolvent. that the
bank called him back and paid him the
| full! amount of the stolen notes. An
other time one of the directors depos-
| tied Sl50,G00 and took a single note.
| He put the piece of paper on the man
! lie piece and fell asleep. On waking he
/ found the note gone. He thought it
had fallen into the fire. and got another
note, giving guaranty that II the
! first note ever turned up he would be
responsible for it. Thirty years later,
/ the man having died in the meantime,
! the first note was presented for pay
| nlent at the bank, and the bank stood
the loss: The mans estate had been
