TlIOs. ]. ADAMS, PROPRIETOR

The record for speed in q race among
Orange Lake Clubs is held by DR..
Kidd's Snowdrift. On January IA of
last year she sailed over what was
ostensibly a ten-mile course, but
what, with tacking, etc., really
amounted to eighteen miles of actual
sailing, in II minutes and IA seconds,
something less than a mile a minute.
The race was for $400 silver cup and
open to all ice-boats, without handi-
cap. 1t is now held by the Shrews-
bury Ice Yacht Club, of New jersey,
whose boat, the Scud, came to Orange
Lake with 1000 feet of canvas and
took away the trophy most coveted Of
ice yachtsmen.
Any man who can sail IN ordinary
boat can sail an ice yacht if he will
only remember one thing--that the
latter craft cannot sail dead before
the wind. A glance at the construc-
ton OF an ice yacht will show the rea-
son for this. By letting out the
mainsail the boat would head herself
SO quickly as to outstrip the wind, and
thus leave her without any driving
power except her own momentum.
Moreover, with a yacht making o mile
a minute in the teeth of snorting
northerner there is no time to
trim sheets. AS you start with your
sheet so you must finish with it. In
fact all ice yachting is close-hauled
work, and many # yachtsman makes
his sheets fast with three half bitches
at the beginning of the season, and
never gives them an inch of drift till his

Water.Repellant Walls.

To be able to make walls that will
entirely resist moisture is of great i'm
portance in localities where the earth
is damp and sodden. Experiments
have been made with brick and sand
stone, saturated with oils of various
kinds. 1t is proven that raw and
boiled linseed oil are the best sub
stances with which to treat such wall
materials. If bricks are heated as hot
as they can be handled, with bare
hands, then dropped into oil and al
lowed to remain there until cold, then
placed where they will drain and laid
in wall with good Portland cement
mortar, they are practically imperv.
ious to water. OF course, great deal
of expense attends this work, but there
are places where nothing else seems
to answer as well. For ordinary cell
lars and walls, where such extreme
nicety of handling is not required, q
thick coating of Portland cement NOR.
tar laid on very smoothly and washed
over with several very thin coats of
almost all Portland, will secure the
utmost dryness and cleanliness. The
qualities of Portland cement are not
fully appreciated by the average
householder. Ledger.

Suspicious of the Cake.

Hans Christian Anderson received a
box of cakes from an unknown ad.
mirer, says the Critic, and was all
qualification at the compliment. sud
denly strange apprehension assslled
him. He had Just read some account
of poison conveyed in this fashion;
possibly the gift was the murderons
device of rival. With more aptitude
than grace, he decided, in a half alb
sent fashion. to send them on to his
friend, Nine. A. to test their quail
ity. A day or two later he called. "Is
Nine. A in2" eyes, sir" "Is
she quite well?" "Quite, sir" "Could
| see herG" Certainly, SIR" Face
TO face with Nine. A., he recurred
to the same anxiety. "She was we'll ?
Yes. The children well? Yes. And
had she received the cakes he sentP
Eaten some? And was quite we'll?
And the children had eaten some?
And were quite well?" Aud then at
last the old mans excitement boiled
over. "You can't think how pleased
l am, he said; "those cakes were sent
NE by IN unknown admirer, aud was
afraid they might be poisoned. SO l
sent them on to you. Aud YOU have
eu.eu them, and are quite well. You
ono't think how pleased | Iam!" Aud

very unobtrusive, indeed. rms styie
was once favorite with Mrs. Cleve-
land. She may adopt it again. Too
few women are careful of the manner
in which they dress the hair for even
ing, letting stray locks fly in every dl-
rection, because there is no con6ning
vail, but the pompadour will do away
with that entirely, for it requires
dainty treatment to make it "so." 10
cover up the ears is always crime, and
not many will regret that the ugly
fashion is entirely obsolete.
In the matter of hair adornments
you can pay your money and take your
choice. Jeweled combs come all OF
six inches long, which catch back the
ends of the pompadour roll and tuck
in nicely around the knot in the back.
Then there are tiny little combs
scarcely an inch long encrusted with
gems or bright in cut silver, which are
TO hold down the rebellious bangs in
front of the pompadour. There are
daggers, and swords, and combs, big
and little, giant and dwarf, made OF
most of the precious metals and imita-
ted in all the base ones. There are
dainty little coronets of colored gems,
and half crowns of pure white rhine
stones to set just back Of the pompa-
dour, and there ore aigrettes and feath-
ers for more formal evening wear.

entertainingly of the scarf Of cere-
mony, and tells how millions OF them

1t is the prayer wheel, the .mechan-
ical device by which the Deity or the
evil spirit may be propitiated, which
is SO astounding to US. Prayer wheels
are OF all sorts and kinds, and, if
dynamos were in use in Tibet, prodigi-
ously fine prayers might be reeled off
in this way. Some of the native
wheels run by water power, and there
are windmill prayer contrivances. A
barrel of prayers, always rotating, or
on tap, is common in Tibet. Some
times the formula "Om, mani padme,
hum" is printed 400 times on sheet
of paper, put in a wheel, and, with
proper gearing, can be made to repeat
or run off the formula 100000 times,
and the more frequently the wheel
spins the better. Prayers are printed
on bits of fimsy paper, and these
papers are tied to string. Whenever
the paper futters in the wind then the
pious Tibetan believes he is credited
with prayer.

An Australian agriculturist, Mr..
Krichauf, has called attention to the
fact that the potato will celebrate the
300th anniversary of its introduction
into England this year. 1t was in 1896
that Sir Waiter Raleigh returned to
England from America with the first
tobacco and potatoes, which originally
grew in Peru. Although the potsto,
it is estimated, now furnishes one.
sixth of the nourishment of the human
race, for long time it was delicacy
for the rich alone. Even at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century
noblemen paid two shillings a pound
for potatoes and seasoned them with
81 erry. People often visited the gar
dens of the botanist Gerard at Hol.
born to see the plants in bloom.
There is talk of celebration in honor
OF the anniversary.

must be of the best and strongest, and
every bit of the frame work has to be
put together with as much care as were
the component parts of the ''one-hoss
shay"
The ordinary ice.boat weighs we'll
over ton, and for anything to give
way when a body of such weight is
travelling over hard surface at the
rate OF twenty or twenty-five miles an
hour would be IN the highest degree
unhealthy for the man sailing it. The
braces and bolts that hold the runner
plank to the keelson cannot be too
strong, though they may be too rigid.
An ice-boat sails all the better for a
little elacticity in its backbone. The
runner shoes must be perfectly true
and straight ard touch the ice on their
entire cutting surface. Some ice
yachtsmen, with plenty of money to
spend, have their runners cast of
Tobin bronze and tined down by ma
chinery.
During the past twenty years all ice
craft have had three runners. The
spread and length of the two forward
ones have been gradually increased
along with proportionate decrease in
the sail area. Ice yachtsmen have
found out that this is the best way to
prevent their craft rising and rearing,
for an ice yacht develops its highest
speed, when close hauled, over smooth,
black ice, with its windward forerun-
ner shoe held steady three or four
inches above the ice and the leeward
shoes bearing the brunt OF the whole
work.
The first essential for an ice-boat is
the very best seasoned lumber, free
from Knots or checks. Eastwood is
generally used, as it combines strength
and liehtness in an uncommon degree.
The backbone of the average boat is
about II feet by inches, which is
brought down to about three inches at

Gle, IKE rneir prototypes ali owe p.
world, show them very little consider
alton. Besides the little native horses
one sees in the streets many Peruvian
horses, which are one size larger and
are excellent for riding, and big Amer
ican horses in swell carriages. Burros
far outnumber the horses, and mules
are very common.
Teams of oxen are used to haul the
heavy wagons, and COWS are driven by
milkmen from door to door with their
calves by their sides. Most of the
calves have their muzzles tied in rags
to prevent them from getting any milk
before all the customers have been
supplied. 1t is also common thing
to see a boy driving flock Of turkeys
through the main streets, usually in
the direction of the markets. In the
corrals are usually many live animals
that have been brought in from the
country and left for sale-deer and
wild pigs, with bristles like procu'
pines, predominating.
About the market place are kept the
skins of huge snakes and wild animals,
for which fancy prices are asked if they
are in reasonably good condition. The
prettiest fur IS that of the leopard
tigre they call it here. The tisre is
very ferocious and is dreaded by all
who have occasion to travel. The
puma, which is digni6ed by the name
of lion, is far less common, and about
equally dangerous to meet.
1 fancy that the supply of dogs has
always been large in Caracas, as the
Cathedral here has an ODD functionary
called perero, or dog boy. The Office
dogs bark to the colonial dogs, and the
present occupant is an urchin with a
black face, very bright eyes and a
beautiful set of teeth. In the street he
looks like any other little fellow who
does not keep his face particularly
clean, but in the Cathedral he is quite
imposing in his long gown OF dark pur,
plish blue and his big white collar. He
carries in his hand stout whip, with
long, knotted lash, and be walks
about with all the pride of recruit in
the army carrying gun for the first
time. He is quite expert, and loud
yelps occasionally prove that his whip
hurts.

rious brute.
1t was q frightful ordeal, anu tho
ground in front of the house bears eyi-
dence Of the desperate struggle for
life. The deer dragged them, mauled
them and trampled them in a fearful
manner They were covered with
bruises, their clothing torn in shreds,
and Mr.. Mullison got two bad flesh
wounds in his leg that will lay him up
for some time.
After they had succeeded in getting
away from the beast and dragged
themselves to the house, almost faint
ing from exhaustion and loss of blood,
the animal tried to get at them
through the window. A charge of shot
did not turn 1t from its purpose. Fin
ally George, the boy, slipped ont
through window, secured horse and
aroused the town. a posse of armed
men went to the rescue, and the vic
ious brute was dispatched with o
couple Of rifle balls.

of the anniversary.

The American Cultivator remarks:
The fire fend is an enemy to forestry.
More stringent measures are necessary
to prevent forest fires. The forests
are becoming too valuable TO be neg
lected. Their destruction by fire
means not only the loss of property,
but the serious loss of employment to
woodsmen, teamsters, sawyers, wood
workers and all the kindred trades.
Ordinary cutting of trees need not
destroy forest, but heavy fire
works destruction. DR.. Rothrock, oi
the Pennsylvania forestry commission,
thinks it an outrage that while man
under our laws cannot set fire to a
hen coop without severe punishment,
he may carelessly or willfully set fire
to forest and burn up many thou.
sand dollars worth of property with
ont being molested. Pennsylvania
loses s1,OOO,OOO annually through
forest fires, and $5O,OOO,OOO would
not cover the annual loss to the coun-
try from this cause. It is found in
many cases that when man is pur-
sued by one holding mortgage On
hiR woodland he sets fire to it to spite
the man who forecloses. 1t is very
difficult to convict such q man. Care
lessness and ignorance are responsible
for many fires, yet thousands of dol
lars worth are burned every year from
this cause without anybody ever
being punished. Why one kind of
property can be burned up with i'm
punity when other kinds are protected
by the severest fines is one OF the
curiosities of legal adm inistration that
is beginning TO be looked after none
too early.
