Skating in London.

The icc-skating rink in London, called
"Niagara,' has been doing an excellent
business during the winter but there
has been slight friction in the fash
ionable world owing to the fact that the
demimondaines have been attending the
rink. There is apparently no way of
keeping them out, as it is not club, but
a public place. To add to the indicna-
ton of the ladies of the great world.
the ladies of the hals world have been
much in favor with the young men of
fashion. The beautiful Countess of
Warwick is now leading crusade
against the men who speak to these
women in public. At the skating carnival
Mrs. Langtry wore a beautiful costume
and won the first prize. Women in her
own set and in even lower sets crowd
ed out the women of the upper circles,
who had expected that the carnival
would be above reproach. Lady Ran
dolph Churchill, Princess Alice of Hesse
and other accomplished skaters fed from
the floor when they saw some of the
scant costumes and the wearers of them,
took refuge in the boxes, and did not
emerge from them until they could es-
cape unobserved and discounted to their
homes

Belgiums Draught Dogs.

Belgium has over $4,000 draught dogs,
drawing milk or vegetable carts and
other light vehicles, being generally as
sisted therein by the able-bodied Bel
sian woman. who adds to that function
the auxiliary one of distributor and pur>
vcyor. There is Il regular dog market,
where the animals can be purchased
cheaply, and they are important factors
in the industry of the various towns and
municipalities. They arc more album
dainty used in Belgium than in any
other European country. though the local
economist argues that it would be judi
cious to gradually substitute for them
small horses and donkeys, on the ground
that when the latter were Worn out they
would be convertible into good, mer
charitable sausages. while such use of

st. Paul More Lucky than This Ship,

Since the American line steamship St..
Paul went ashore off Long Branch, many
olu salts have recalled the story--it is
scarce more than Il legend now-of an
other ship which came ashore more than
century ago ut point on the beach
now known as Minerva avenue. She
was full-rigged West India merchant
man, and the avenue was named after
her. On dreary day in March the
"bcachcemhers' living on the mainland
saw big ship we'll up on the shores of
Ludlam's island.
Always ready to profit by the misfor-
tune of others, the ''combers' manned
their boats and put off across the bay.
When they reached the beach they found
the Minerva fast in the sand with all
sail set. They boarded her. but not
Il living soul answered their calls. From
the main hatchway, however, came I'M
canny whisperings. Then there was Il
shrek that echoed through the ship
from stem to stern. Afterwards al

intrusion, large. gray cat. the only
living thing found on board, rushed
swiftly by the searchers. and was lost in
the darkness outside.
Appalled, at the sight of the dead man
lying with upturnel face and staring
eyes. the men rushed from the cabin to
the deck above. Then they went through
other parts of the merchantmen. They
found her loaded with cargo of cot.

Southern CLINE. but there was none to
watch over it hut the big gray cat and
the dead man. The "wreckcrs" carried
much of tho Minerals cargo ashore.
