GLASS SKATES.
They Arc the Latest Feature in Ice
Kinks This winter

They Arc the Latest Feature in Ice
Kinks This winter
The newest feature of interest in the
New York ice Kinks is the use of glass
skates. 1t is found that skates with
glass runners are far better, both for
speed and ease in gliding for pleasure,
than a.e the skates with metal runners.
and several pairs are now being used in
one of the metropolitan Kinks. The in
ventor has succeeded in reducing the
glass to hardness that insures an edge
which practically never becomes blunt
The tempering process remains Sc
cret, but it is a fact that severe contact
with hard ice does not fracture the
glass. To look at these skates one would
not suppose they were made of any
thing else than metal, for the runners
are always colored in order to disguise
the substance of which they are made.
The coloring process is arbitrary, and
tints in the case of ladies' skates are
always made to correspond with the
colors of the wearer's costume. The
runners of these glass skates are at
tached directly 10 an especially made
shoe which laces from the heel up the
back. The combination not only gives
u skate which is perfectly easy in mo.
ton, but the high shoe stiffens the ankle
to an extent which greatly aids in the
enjoyment and adds to the safety of the
exercise

Member of the Firm.
just where the lad came from is not
apparent, but he was rather a crisp
looking youngster of IA, small for his
size and, foxy about the corners of the
eyes and mouth, says the Detroit Free
Press. He entered the office of whole
sale house on Larned street east and
approached the head of the establish
ment, who was in bad lumor about
something.
DO you want boy here?" asked the
applicant for position.
NO, we don't want boy here" re-
sponded the merchant in the ordinary
manner Of man in bad humor.
Are you sure, sir?'
''Of course l am. Don't know my
business? Get Quit"
Whats that sitting on the stool over
there?" asked the caller very politely
and without being at all disturbed by
his reception.
Hes our Office boy" replied the mer-
chant, rather taken aback.

''Of course"

eyes"
We'll, then, sir, you are mistaken
when you say you don't want a boy
here. What you really intended saving
was that you didn't need me here.
Good-morning, sir!" And before the
merchant could pull himself together
this remarkable youth had got oft and
was lost in the crowd on the street.

Your friends may smile
But that tired feeling
Means danger. 1t
Indicates impoverished
And impure blood.
This condition may
Lead to serious illness.
1t should be promptly
Overcome by taking

Which puriies and
Enriches the blood,
Strengthens the nerves,
Tones the stomach,
Creates an appetite,
And builds UP,
Energies and vitalizes
The whole system.

sLAvERY MADE oRAToas.
Power of i Great Cause 20 Make All

Men Eloquent.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, SOL
der, author and gentleman, contrib
utes a charming photographed
sketch to the Atlantic Monthly in an
article entitled "On the Outskirts of
Public Life" In this sketch he relates
many incidents and experiences of his
literary and public life.
Living in university city," he says,
i am occasionally asked by students
how they can best train themselves for
public speaking, and l always begin
with one bit of counsel, based on half a
eentury's experience: 'Enlis in a re-
form Engage in something which YOU
feel for the moment so unspealably
more important than yourselfas wholly
to dwarf you, and the rest will come.
No matter what it is-tariff or free
| trade, gold standard or silver, even COM
munism or imperialism-the result is
the same as to oratory, if you are only
sincere. Even the actor on the dra-
matte stage must fill himself with his
part or he is nothing, and the public
speaker on the platform must be more
than a dramatic actor to produce the
highest effects. There is an essential
thing wanting to the eloquence of the
men who act part, but given pro-
found sincerity and there is something
wonderful in the way it overcomes the
obstacles Of a hoarse voice, a stammer-
ing tongue or feeble presence.
On the anti-slavery platform, where
was reared, cannot remember real
~ poor speaker. AS Emerson said:
'Eloquence was dog cheap there. The
cause was too real, too vital, too imme-
diately pressing upon heart and con-
science for the speaking to be other
wise than alive. It carried men away
as with a flood"

RUssIA's POLICY STATED.
Wants the Philippines to Remain
in Possession of One Power.

ST. PETERSBURG, July u. = Dis
cussing the events of the war between
Spain and the United States, which it
regards as practically over, the "Novoe
Vremya" observes that the political sit
uation largely depends upon the att
tude of Russia. 1t adds:
With respect to the Philippines, the
time has arrived to clearly state Rus
sia's policy"
Continuing. the "Novoe Vremya" re-
marks: Russia has no positive inter
ests in the Philippine Islands. If they
are divided the best parts will fall to
Germany, Great Britain and Japan,
thereby strengthening them in the Pa
cific. Therefore it is to Russia's advan
tage that the Philippine Islands remain
in the possession of a single power,
whether Spain or the United States,
and Russia would prefer to see the
islands in the possession of Spain, and
under the protection of the United
States would keep out other claimants.
BY working in this direction Russia
would not only uphold her own inter
ests, but would serve the cause of gen.
eral peace.

ed in Cuba. This has come in for con-
siderable criticism in this country, but
Major De Grand Prey says that, con-
sidering the brief time allowed for
equipping the expedition, Ikable
results We're secured. European mill
tary expeditions, such as those of Eng
land or France, TO Africa or other
points, he says, are planned six months
ahead, which allows ample time for
working out the most minute details.
The first word of Cervera s entering
Santiago harbor was on May 18th, and
the vast military preparations We're
well under way and the expedition
started early in the following month Of
June. This and the Insignificant loss
Of men and animals in landing was an
exceptionally good showing, judging by
the best military standards.

EMBAsSADORS OF THE POWERS
Express a Desire That Peace Nego-
tiations Should be Opened.

LONDON, July PA Vienna dis
patch to the Chronicle says:
1t is sem-officially announced that
the ambassadors of the Powers at Mad
rid have expressed to Premier Sagas-
ia desire that peace negotiations
should be opened. 1t is stated that in
spite of official denialS desire for
peace practically prevails in all classes
in Spain but the Government is afraid
that the revolutionary parties might
take advantage if the Government
should open negotiations.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Mali telegraphs:
The current in favor of peace is run
ming stronger to-day. The Government
will negotiate without the intervention
of any foreign Power. The foreign di-
plomats observe that the tendency in
Madrid is TO exclude the Powers alto
gether from the negotiations.
The Premier's resignation was ex-
pected before peace negotiations opened
so as to leave the crown absolutly free
to consult with the leading statesmen.
Should Sagasta's resignation be ac-
cepted the efforts will be made to form
a military Cabinet, whose acts would
inspire greater confidence in the army.
