AMERICAN GIRLS LEAD.

They Are the Best Skaters In the World,
Says an Expert.
A two years. visit to Europe spent in
study of the methods of skating in Eng
land and France has served to convince
me that the American girls are the
most graceful skaters in the world.
One of the essential rules of the Eng
lish school is to skate with ''straight
knee and this surely teaches ungrace-
fulness. But while the men cling to
this old school rule the women of Eng
land, am glad to say, have abandoned
it to such an extent that to-day there
are many graceful skaters among the
fair sex there. Notwithstanding this
rigid style, Englishmen execute their
movements on SO grand a scale that
they obtain a sensation akin to that of
flying. Their strokes certainly excite
the admiration of those who see them
apparently floating at will, gliding at
at times the entire length Of the rink
on one stroke, only to return again or
branch off in another direction by ex-
ecuting ''rocker" (rocking turn) or
''bracket" or perhaps. the simple
''three"
Hand-in-hand and ''combined" skat-
ing are now in vogue in Europe. After
clasping hands one of two skaters
starts backward on the ordinary ''cross
roll. while the partner follows with
forward strokes. On the third stroke
the one going forward completes a
circle, still followed by the other.
Another snowy movement is the
combined grapevine" Two persons,
passing each other, join hands. One
starts the grapevine, leading with the
left foot forward; the other starts with
the right foot forward: thus both skat-
ers are forced sideways along the ice.
Other movements are in the ''vogue,"
''seagull." ''opera swing" and ''Qs," but
the most attractive of all is the waltz
on skates. have seen many couples
gracefully waltzing at once and giving
the rink the appearance of ballroom.
Once of the most graceful women
skaters in Europe is Lady Randolph
Churchill. She learned to skate in New
York, and now executes long, graceful
sweeps and curves which vastly i'm
prove her skatisg. Others noted for
thier grace on the ice are the countess
of Mimic, Mrs. w. H. Grenfell, Mrs. May
Balfour, Honorable Mrs. Algernon Gros-
venor. the marchioness of Dufferin and
Ava, Lady Archibald Campbell, Mrs.
Cannon, Nine. Girrard, Lady River-Wil-
son, the Misses Lewis, daughter of Sir
George Lewis, and Lady Northcote.
The American women are truly the
most graceful skaters in the world, but
must add that owing to the small
scale on which thier figures are exc
cuted their movements in fancy skat-
ing are not worthy of praise as their
English cousins, who until lately have
been handicapped by dearth of ice.-
George Meaglaer, in N. Y. World.

CARE OF PASTURES.
Great Pains Should Be Taken to Make
Them Really Profitable.


quarters on the value of good pastures,
and therefore they are neglected. 4
writer GA cattle and pastures says: Our
pasture Acids are usually selected from
the lands which we think will least re-
pay us for the abor Of cultivation, and
so, because they are comparatively
valueless, we think it will not pay TO
give them the care necessary to max"
them OF greater value. The stock is
turned loose iRto these fields to pick up
what it may. If the stock is kept from
starvation by the voluntary growth of
the pastures, we are apt to consider
ourselves so much ahead, but the stock
kept in this way pays us little rea:
profit, and the interest charges and
taxes keep on accumulating every year
upon the land. It is sometimes wise to
select for pastures such portions of the
farm as will least repay cropping.
Sometimes the fields so chosen are un-
suited by their natural conformation
tor profitable cultivation, and so the
best use to which they can be devoted.
both fer the land and the owner, is the
carrying of stock. Sometimes the land
is too poor to grow profitable crop.
and SO it is pastured as means of re-
storing fertility. In either of these
cases the land should have some care,
and pains should be taken to make it
profitable in the line to which circun,-
stances have made it advisa BILE to de-
vote it. Do not get into tie habit of
considering that it is only a pasture
field, and SO treating it as if it could
never be anything else.

valued at $500. The prisoner obtained
the trunk upon the presentation of a
letter he claimed had been sent by Mrs.
not to be able to speak English, and the
services of an interpreter were brought
into rcquisition. she claimed she had
never sent such letter.
ST. Sarveur conducted his own case
and in the rirst place stated that Mrs.
Cadicu could speak English as well as
be, ard so il proved. He brought out
the fact that Mrs. Cadieu could neither
read nor write and said that he himself
could do neither.
The testimony went to show that St.
Saryeur had obtained the TRUNK and IL
has not been seen since. The police had
not bsen able To locate IL and he had re-
fused TO give it up.
The prisoner stated on the stand that
Mrs. Cadieu owed him monev, and also
that she had some of bis clothing in the
trunk. lie felt he had claim on the
trunk ana decided 10 retain possession
of it until he got his rights.

replied it was in safe place. This reply
