Up went tho famous old red ball yesterday
morning at Van Cortlandt Park to Announce
skating, but II was pulled down in tho evening,
for the Ice was hardly thick enough in spots TO
uphold n night crowd. The ice was rapidly
thickening at the last accounts. and. In
expectation Of good sport tonight. tho
calcium lights will DO In place and every.
thing In readiness for the rush. Tho

lightning aid OF the small boys MS a great

latlng the fact that the time has como 10 bring
out the skatcs). that the Van Cortlundt lako
would be open last night. and throughout the
evening every car on the Sixth and Ninth
avenue elevated roads held its quota of skaters
on the way to trains at the 155th street station.
At the terminus the news that there was no skat.
ing WINS received In good nature. The boys. ms n
rule, hurried downstairs TO skate on tho 15ith
street pond, which afforded good sport for tho
tera and their escorts in bright.huod sweaters
would not join In such rough. sport, and, with
comments about coming again on some other
night, these parties reboardcd the cars for tho
long ride downtown.

was first thrown open. There was not II vcstigo

was u ROOQly turnout OF SkhtcrS. IN tho after
noon. for there arc about 500 youths and adults
who await with eagerness each winter tho first
day ut Van Cortlandt, and these early birds had
the sport to themselves.
1t was n gathering of exports that included
many of the old.time figure skaters. those 1.-the
and active individuals in s9uare.cut sack coats
and fur caps, who spin like tops. cut spread
engles, and do the grapevine twist. to their own
delight and the huge enjoyment of skaters less
gifted in tho art fantaatic. The pavilion near
the railroad station at Van Cortlandt Park was
thrown open for the hiring and putting on Of
skates. and for tho first time since last winter
q FIRE was started In the big sheet.iron stove.
The smoke from this chimney each winter is
the first sign to the small boys of the neighbor-
hood that the ice Is safe for them.
There has been skating for some days on the
small ponds near West F trms and on the Sc

Sporting sew. from Yale.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 3.-Bob Cook said tonight
in speaking of the challenge to Cornell:
Nothing has been heard from Cornell, and
our invitation to the Ithaoans to row at New
London, sent two months ago, has been neither
accepted nor declined"
The sarcastic interview with Prof. Huffcutt of
Cornell inviting Yale to COM to Lake Cayuga
and row was q joke Cook enjoyed. He declined
to take it seriously, saying: THE fact that Yale
and Harvard have agreed to row at New Lon
don will prevent Yale's accepting an invitation
to row at Lake Cayuga or anywhere else except
on the Thames. l wish. however. to correct a
statement sent out from Ithaca in that recent
interview declaring that at the start of the
four.mile course the water is shallow and the
oar blades catch in the eel grass. The water is
a trif1e shallow, but has never given us trouble
on this account. but there Is no truth that there

A Korean Procession,

The procession of the king was led
by the general of the vanguard, su-
perbly dressed, supported by retain
ers on his led pony and followed by
crowds of dignitaries, each with his
train, soldiers, men carrying aloft
frames of arrows reaching nearly
across the road, and huge flags of
silk brocade surmounted by plumes
of pheasants; servants in rows of
100 in the most delicate shades of
blue, green or mauve silk gauze over
white; halberdiers, grandees, each
with retinue of banner men; rows
of royal banner men, carrying yel-
low and blue silk flags emblazoned; (;
cavalrymen in imitation gold he'll
NETS and modi@val armor, and tiger
hunters wearing coarse felt black
hats with conical CROWNS and dark
blue coats, trailing long guns.
With scarcely pause followed
the president of the foreign Office,
high above the crowd on a monocy-
Gle, a black wheel supporting on two
uprights black platform carrying
black chair decorated with a leop-
ards skin, the occupant of which
was carried by eight men at height
of feet from the ground. y
After this, borne high aloft by 40
bearers clothed in red, in a superb
chair of red lacquer, richly tasseled
and canopied, and with wings to
keep off the sun, came the king,
whose pale, languid face never
changed its expression as he passed
with all the dignity and splendor of
his position through the silent
crowd.-"Korea and Her Neigh
bors," by Mrs. Bishop.

A Simple Developer.

"Throw your complicated devel-
opers out Of the window; use pyro
and soda and give your plates a
chance. When you find what will
develop, use it even if it is green
cheese" This was the advice given
to me by professional photogra
pher several years ago, and, follow
ing his suggestion, I have saved
money and secured greater pro-
portion of good negatives. Here is
the formula as he gave it:
In distilled water dissolve sal soda
(ordinary washing soda) until the
hydrometer test is 80 degrees
In another bottle dissolve sulphite
of soda until the hydrometer test is
40 degrees
To develop, take equal parts of
each. and for a properly exposed
plate add 8 grains of pyro to s
ounces of the combined solution. I
find that after a little practice can
measure out the pyro in a small
wooden mustard spoon without
weighing it, and, knowing the plate
I have to develop, make each lot
favor the particular plate.
For testing I use an ordinary hy-
drometer that costs 10 cents. In
mixing the solutions, they can be
made in such quantity as desired. I
have not attempted to give the
method of developing or the treat
mont of over or under exposed plates,
as this will be nearly the same, no
matter how the formula of a pyro
developer may differ.-New York

Respect For the Living.

"Did you go to the funeral?" one
woman asked another. YES" was
the reply. II always feel it a duty
to go to funerals and show my re-
spect for the dead" The two moved
on, but their conversation started a
train of thought within me. Is it
always tribute of respect to go to
funerals, irrespective of persons, as
I am aware this woman doess No
matter what the rank Of the deceas-
ed, or how slight her acquaintance,
whether private funeral or not, rain
or shine, her presence may be count
ed upon.
1t may be gratifying to the vanity
of some to have a large crowd at the
funerals of their beloved dead, but
to most sensible people the occasion
is too sacred and the sorrow too real
to care for the sympathy of casual
acquaintance. Friends faces are
always welcome during bereave-
ment, and it is dutiful and beautiful
to express a word of hope when
most needed and to accompany the
stricken ones to the last resting
place of the dead. But what about
the living around us, who are full
of life and ambition, or those bur-
dened with sorrow none may guess9
Why not give them "a glad good
morning. or an hour or two OF
your society at time you feel they
must be lonelyi Wait not until
death comes and then rush to the
funeral as though you had always
been most cherished friend. like
it not-this custom prevalent IN
small towns which permits any and
all to attend the funerals of those
to whom they are almost unknown
and whose motive for going is often
only curiosity.-Housekeeper.

The three religions of China are
Buddhism, Taoism and Confucian-

idols; Confucius revived and fixed
ancestor worship. The people make
ancestor tables, on which they write

to keep i'll the tables, and then, be-
fore them, they burn incense :,nd
