Jumping on snowshoes.

Ski running is to Norway what crick-
ct is to England, and what baseball
is to America. Not only is it ma
tional sport, but aside from the feat
ures of amusement it has a practical
value " h;ch is of no mean Importance
The ski is a long piece of strong
wood, firmly strapped to the foot and
slightly turned up at the front end.
BY means of these skates or snow
shoes the peasants of Norway have
for generations Travelled in winter over
the now-covered hills from farm to
farm and ford to ford.
Just as figure and race skating We're
the results of the primitive method
the Dutch used in binding bones to
the bottom of their feet and sliding
down the frozen canals and rivers, so
running upon the ski has developed,
and perhaps the most remarkable
branch of the art is the jumping of
immense distances.
Having gained a tremendous impe-
tus by running down hill on the ski,
the runner takes a leap and flies
through the air for fifty, sixty or sew
enty feet. or even greater lengths

Why Americans Live In England.

The first reason why rich Americans
leave home to live in England is be-
cause social conditions there are fixed
and reliable, and because rich and poor
alike do as they please there with a
degree of liberty that is unknown any
where else on the globe. 1t is true that
certain rich men and noblemen take
advantage of this liberty and shut
themselves in their parks to spend
Sundays in feasting. riding, dancing.
and out-of-door sports of lively and
noisy kinds, and that no one knows
it at the time except their servants.
1t is simply fact that must be thrown
into the balance with the rest of the
conditions-this amazing feedom, this
absence of a prying press with its de-
Element of the privacy of mems homes
and lives, this making the home cas-
tie. and enclosing every garden with
a high stone wall. It can be said of
all the transplanted Americans that
they stay there. as one of them says
he does, because in America any man
who has the means rides in a Pullman
car. but in England third-class folks
are content to travel with their own
kind in third-class cars. julie Ralph,
in Harpers Magazine.

due season to accompany them back
to the city.
But as hour after hour rolled by.
and me still absent, an underlined,
vague feeling for my safety ran
through them and they determined to
once more descend the ugly pit in
quest of me.
Which they did, at the risk of their
lives, for it was late in the afternoon,
when they started.
Upon reaching the bottom they, after
long search, found me lying in a
deathlike swoon near one side and my
guide crushed to "a jelly beneath the
mass Of scoria at the base of the
cone.
They let him lie where he was. and
after the greatest difficulty and dam
ger conveyed me up and brought me
to the city.
1t was some weeks before | Was
able to leave my ROOM but, thanks to
good constitution and the indefati-
gable attention of my kind friends,
did at last.
And now, kind reader, can you won
der that even here, thousands Of miles
distant from the scene of my trying
ordeal, that a bloodchilling thrill
runs through me when I look at the
| old coin imbedded in it's covering of
scoria.

The Dinner Horn.

The Dinner Horn.
T love all the sounds listened to by the
farmer,
All speak with an eloquent voice
OF rural contentment; but one is a
charmer,
Oh. it is the sound Of my choice!
/ mean the utensil that hangs in the
kitchen
And swings by a string to and fro,
That peals out it's summons, mems lives
to enrichen,
Three times ey'ry day as they go.
l love the cock-crow at the coming of
morning,
Lambs bleating gives pleasure to me;
/ hear with delight the crows "caw!'
when adjourning
To where he rOosts snug in a tree.
There's music for me in a big wagons
rattle;
The clack of a moving machine
Will set me to dreaming, while bawling
of cattle,
Or whinny of colts on the green,
Is sure not to jar on my peace and con-
tentment,
And even cackling old hen
Or loud squealing porker calls up no
resentment,
And I'm prone to listen; but when
There floats on the air from the tree
empowered dwelling,
That summons so loud and so sweet,
Der hill, dale and woodland it echoes SO
swelling,
So far-reaching, piercing and fleet,
/ welcome it's message with kindly re-
|. joicing;
To all it means surcease of toll;
"Refreshment and rest" is the burden
it's voicing
To labor-worn tillers of soil.
&c. here's to the trumpet that hangs in
the kitchen;
It summons men home from the corn.
From bayfield, and fallow, life's hour to
enrichen
The battered old tin dinner horn.

The Toad in the Garden.


To most people a toad is nothing but
an unsightly reptile which is to be
summed The toad is reptile, to be
sure, but it is one that is not only harm
less, but is of great use to the garden
er, as every worm or insect that comes
within reach is devoured greedily
Centipedes, caterpillars, blister beetles
and bugs of every kind are equally
welcomed by the toad He uses them
all alike Half a dozen toads in the
garden will keep it free from most Of
the ordinary garden pests. They are
easily tanned and spend the day in
some shaded nook along the fence or
under a cabbage leaf. coming sedately
