that Great Britain is the biggest land

He CHANGED His Mind.


In his article on "The Community
Of Zoar" in the Woman's Home Com
panion Landon knight writes as fol-
lows of the founders attitude toward
marriages:
During the first years of his admin
istration Bimeler openly opposed mar
riage, and devoted many long Gin
.spired' discourses to showing the sim
fulness of the relation, but finally he
fell a victim to the dimples and smiles
Of village beauty, and he Immediate
ly mounted his pulpit and candidly &C
knowledged in effect that his wires Of
inspiration were probably crossed and
he had received the wrong message.
Where marriage had languished it at
once grew popular, for the benedict
now held forth even more eloquently
concerning the beatitude of the rela-
ton than he had assailed it when act
ing under the false message. In his
old age his enthusiasm concerning the
married estate was such as to sub
ject him to the charge of being a
matchmaker, from which we may in
fer that his own union was happy, for
he was sincere, earnest and helpful
man and altogether incapable Of CIV
ing advice from the same motives that
actuated the shOrt-tailed fox.

ever, a special costume, of course, is not
essential to run on the ice.
Society has taken up skating with a
vim OF late years and a number Of skat-
ing clubs have been formed which con-
duct private Kinks where the swell cos
tunes Of the ladies will be seen. The
indoor skating is popular with those who
fear to face the north wind, but the true
skater wants outdoor skating with frost
in the air and snow on the ground and a
chance to get pneumonia going home.
Winter sports of various kinds have
been looking up in Chicago of late years
and the men who sell sporting goods say
that hockey is obtaining foothold. This
healthful exercise, which is practically
shiny played on the ice, requires hockey
sticks which look like golf sticks, 4
puck or object ball made Of rubber and
usually hockey skates, which are screw
ed to the shoes. The game requires such
fast skating, rapid turns and sudden
stops that ordinary clamps do not prove
satisfactory and those who follow the
game with much interest provide them
selves with specially strong shoes, to
which the skates are attached perma-
nently.
The toboggan never obtained much
standing in Chicago owing to the neces-
sity for building artificial hills down
which to shoot the flying sledges. The
natural formation Of the ground in and
around the city is against the success of
tobogganing and the public slides, at
which an admission fee is charged, never
attracted society people, although they
were literally patronized by those who
went out more for fun than to display
swell toboggan costumes. However, the
dealers say the sport is not dead in Chi
cago by any means.

A San Francisco cat wears pair of
