WORLDS SKATING CHAMPIONS.
NiIssen, of Minneapolis, in the Pro-
fessionaI and McCulIoch, of VIM
nipcg, in the Amateur Class.

Montreal, Feb. 6.-J. Nilssen, of Mime
apols, is the professional champion skater
of the world, and ]. X. McCulloch, Of Win
nipeg, is the amateur champion. -
These are two results Of the worlds
skating championship races, held here to-
day. One of the races worpIby McCulloch,
the 1000 meters internationH skated yes
terday will, it is true, be skated over again
Monday, on account of the mistake in the
distance. but it is looked upon as a sure
thing for him to win. Nilcsen to-day reeled
off the five miles in the professional event
in 14:47, which is more than a minute bet
ter than the previous professional record.
In this race Nilssen was paced by Joseph
Donohue, and the race between these two
was looked forward to as likely to be one
of the most interesting of the day. The
ewburgh boy, however, was completely
outcIassed. covering the distance in 1854.
The most exciting race of the day, from
the spectators point of view, was the
skating of of a tie between McCulloch and
Mass Norway, in the 500 meters inter-
national championship. The finish was very
close the Winnipeg boy breaking the tie
only by about two yards from the finish.
Time, 2:40 As.
The European skaters did not distinguish
themselves to-day, and did not succeed in
capturing q single first. Mass took second
in the 1880 meters, and Seyler second in
the 1000 meters. Lordahl. in the 1,5O0 me
ters, made the very slow time of 2:52 80,
but claimed to have injured his foot in
fall he sustained.
The meeting has been most successful
one. The ice was in perfect condition and

CATS AND SWALLOWS.

Some of your readers may be inter ested in this incident, which happened recently: We took our two cats into 8 field above our garden one evening; a door led from the dogs, There were a great many swallows flying about l suppose young birds and their parents. Suddenly, one flew down close to the older cat and screamed at it, flying as suddenly away again. The old cat did not like this, and made few steps towards the door, which was some way off, Down came the bird again, and screamed again within couple Of inches of the cats face. This was too much, and the cat flew to the door and sat there. much agltated, when down swooped the bird again close, and yell ed again at the cat, and over the car went into the garden. We were left laughing and wondering and the other cat much interested, when down came the swallow again and gave the scream as before into the cats face. This cat put out her paw and then fled over the door into the garden with no hesita- ton, and the swallows were left in pos session of the field We tried the next evening to induce one of the cats to follow us into that field, but she refus- ed; she evidently thought it too un- anny--Letter in London Spectator.

IOTE,

Those who are in love have received solemn warning from the scientists against kissing without previously and
 carefully disinfecting the lips of the warning they are perhaps in a frame
 of mind to pay attention to another bit
 of science. M. de Fleury, a French sci
 enlist. notifies all concerned that love is physiological phenomenon which enters the domain of pathology the mo- ment it assumes a sentimental form. He adds: Do we not habitually say 'So-and-so is madly in love?' This pas sion, which is beyond the control of sense, in face of which reason loses her rights and her powers, is incontestably human malady" Furthermore. he
 points out that the symptoms of love-
 sickness bear a wonderful resemblance to those of alcoholism and morphine
 mania, and that every one who inquires into the facts for himself will be struck with the absolute identity of the patho- logical processes in each case.
 Very likely. Those who have formed the habit of stopping to disinfect kiss able lips before kissing them will be impressed by M. de Fleury and will stop to inquire into the facts which make the disease of love. But it is a needless world, and it will be a long time before the bacteria that infest the lips of beauty will give pause to the brave, or before all cases of love-sick- | ness will be promptly reported to the | board of health and isolated.
