Skating in Hanscom Park

Nature has been none too lavish in fur
nishing places where the boys and glrle Of
this community may enjoy themselves dur
Ing the winter days and evenings skating.
or course there are the Missouri river and
Cut OFF lake, but 1t Is seldom the ice on
either river or lake Is in prime condition for
the sport. Besides, skating on these sheets
OF water is not safe, even during the cod
est weather. On both the river and the lake
there are numerous air holes through which
the skater is in danger of plunging at any
time. Aside from the danger, the ice Is
usually rough and frequently covered with
sand and snow.
What nature has failed to do man has &C
complished and when properly cared for the
little pool in Hanscom park furnishes an
Ideal place for skating. AS everybody here
aways knows, the Hanscom park lake is a
gem OF its kind. 1t is located down in the
southeast corner of the park, we'll protected
from the winds by the hundreds OF huge
oaks, elms and other forest trees, scores Of
which are shown by the accompanying pic
ture, taken soon after the lake froze over
this season. The lake Is nearly circular and
covers a couple of acres in area, and when
In good condition its surface is as smooth as
glass, not being marred by hill, hummock or
crack.
Two years ago the Hanscom park lake
was one Of the finest skating resorts in the
country. That winter the members OF the
park commission took the matter in hand
and flooded the surface twice a week during
the cold weather. The total cost OF keep
Ing the lake in good condition Appropriated
$500. Last winter 1t was allowed to care
for itself and as q result after the first
fall Of snow there was practically no skat-
ing. This winter there is a move on foot
to make the place more popular than ever.

Whence MistletOe Comes

Women the world over are interested in
the pretty green parasite that adds to the
fun and frolic and happiness Of the Christ
mas season.
Mistletoe for centuries has been one of the
most important factors in yuletide decora-
lions, it's use dating back as far as the days
CT the Druids. The hanging of the mistletoe
on Christmas eve, between IL and IL o'clock,
in many homes is the beginning Of the sea-
sons merrymaking. The bough is hung
in a place where there will be no obstacle to
passing under it, and the penalty for being
caught beneath it's branches all know.
The mistletoe of the Druids Is viscum
album. 1t is a true parasite, existing on the
sap of other trees, and never at any time is 1t
in contact with the soil. 1t grows freely on
apple, pear and plum trees; on poplars,
thorns, naples and Eastwood, and rarely on
the oak. 1t is said that the only sacred
mistletoe of the Druids was that found upon
the oak. The propagation is by the seeds.
These are covered with a translucent,
gummy substance. They are placed in po-
sition by birds, which, in trying to rid their
beaks of the sticky seeds, rub them on the
bark. The seeds, which are deposited on
the east or north side Of the trees, grow
more rapidly than those to the south or
west.
Some idea OF the quantity of mistletoe that
is used annually in London may be had
when 1t Is known that from the two counties
of Worcester and Hereford alone more than
100 tons are shipped each season. Much also
finds it's way from Normandy and from
France to the London market. Large guam
titles are imported yearly to New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, and much reaches
Chicago.
The mistletoe generally seen in the market
here is a cousin to the European species, and
is known as phoradendron favescens. 1t is
smaller, both in berries and leaf. 1t is found
in great quantities in New Jersey and south
ward through the Carolinas, New Mexico
and Indian Territory.

OMAHA ILLUSTRATED BEE.

The park commissioners have their annual
meeting about December q, and at that
time IL the skaters take interest enough in
the matter to be present and present their
claims 1t is more than likely that the mem
bers of the board will order the ice flooded
at least once and perhaps twice each week.
Superintendent Hunt of the Omaha Water
Works company, in discussing the propo-
sition, says: "If the park people want
to flood the lake, we will make a very low
rate for the water. | think that it can be
done for the entire season for less than
$500. We can flood the lake any afternoon
during reasonably cold weather and have
fine skating for the evening. 1t Is an easy
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-24

matter, for all that will have to be done
will be to attach a hose to one of the ny
drants near the shore of the lake and turn
on the water. From one-half to an inch
of water twice a week will keep the sur
face Of the lake in the best of condition"
Secretary Bates of the park commission
says: There is no money in the treasury
at this time, yet l think that il the people
will take the matter up we can squeeze out
enough funds to pay for the water, but we
must first have some evidence that the young
people Of Omaha are anxious to have the
lake put in condition for skating. They
can't stand around and expect the board to
take the initiative"
The upper lake in the park Is full OF water
and its surface is pretty smooth, but on
this skaters are not allowed, as 1t Is monopo-
lized by the members of the Omaha Curling
club, who play their games there every

An old battered steamer on the up
per Nile has certainly a wonderful his
tory. She was built by John Penn,
Brothers, Greenwich, and was used as
a penny boat on the Thames. When
the expedition for the relief of Gordon
made its dash for Khartoum and arriv-
ed too late, she carried Sir Charles Will
son, and was wrecked on her return
voyage. Being abandoned she fell in
to the hands of the Dervishes, was re-
paired and served them for going up
and down the river After the battle
of Omdurman, she again fell into the
hands of the British, and is once more
used as packet boat. She is riddled
with bullets and shells, half of her port
paddle box is torn away, but her en-
gines and hull remain staunch, which
speaks well for the ship builders and
engineers. There is material enough
for Kipling to make a great story out
of the Borden and her adventures

HAWAII'S CHANCES.

The reports made to Congress upon
the Hawaiian bill show that there is
strong tendency to do away with all
property qualifications in the matter
of voters. Upon this there will be no
doubt 1t is the policy of a very large
number of people on the mainland. At
the same time there is a considerable
minority which is of the way of think
ing that there should be property re-
strictions in the franchise and would
like to see them applied in the Islands
as an entering wedge.
In the minority report there is a very
significant phrase. 1t says: This is
an innovation recognizing by law the
right of wealth to govern, and is GER
tainly a dangerous tendency in a re-
public already threatened by the too
great power Of concentrated wealth."
This is a text for speeches and arti-
Giles upon question that the whole Of
the United States, and for the matter
of that the whole world is divided up
on. 1t is the question of the right of
those who have and those who have
not for legislative prerogatives. There
is right and there is wrong on both
sides.
AS far as one can see however, the
United States Congress intends to do
the right thing by Hawaii, and if the
faddists keep in the background we
shan have all we are entitled to.

one cannot but feel for the Spaniards

that their own rapacity and their own

ments of rapine and murder, and the
wanton destruction of valuable agri-

banner of Spain will mark the end of
medievalism and the rise of modern
progress from the ruins of the effete
empire.

Honolulu is to have a large coal sta

and a busy rush of transports passing
backwards and forwards between the
new dependencies and the mainland,
there is every prospect of trade boom

tifiications are also being considered,
and these will give labor to a number
of men and cause a considerable guam

into circulation. Annexation is prov
