Holland the Birthplace of This Popular Winter Pastime.
 Since the old Dutch city is now rev
 cling in skating on the Park lake, the 1 canal and river. it is appropriate to call
 attention to the fact that the sport is essentially a Dutch pastine, since Hol- land is conceded to be the home and
 birthplace of the sport. It was un- doubtedly first practised there, and in the far north in Scandinavia and Ger
 many, though not in Russia to any
 great extent, on account of the heavy snows, In country of lakes and can als the necessity of walking and run ming on the ice must have been felt
 from the earliest days, and, indeed, they show in Holland bone skates which
 were found In one of the mounds on which Friesland village was built. The skates were fastened to the feet by straps, passed through holes made in the bones.
 A Danish historian mentions the sport in 1134 The bone skates were also the kind first used in England. Fitzstephen in his account of the amusements of the young people on the ice in London during the latter part of the twelfth century, notes that it was usual for them to fasten the leg bones of animals under the soes of their feet by tying them around their ankles, and then taking a pole, shot with iron, into their hands they pushed themselves forward by striking against the ice, and moved with great rapidty. In Cham ber's Book of Days there is rude cut this mode of locomotion on a sled. A child is using the jaw bones of a horse or COW as a sledge, and himself with pointed slaves. It is copied from a Dutch engraving, sports on the ice, in the town ditch of Antwerp in 1594, for in Holland their use was universal

MANY DON'T KNOW.
Lack of Right Food is the Cause of
 Sickness.


 It is hardly fair to blame the doctor for not curing his patient when the patient attempts to live on food that furnishes the wrong kind of nourish- ment When sickness comes on it is a pretty good sign that the food is not keeping the body up. There are thous- ands of cases where a change in food alone has brought the sick one out into a prime condition of health,
 As an illustration. A lady in River side, Calif, says, After ten years of service as teacher, during which time l suffered three or four attacks of La Grippe, l finally found myself a physi- cal wreck, Medical treatment would help my strength and vitality tempor- arily. but I would always go back.
 Husband and l moved to California in the hopes that this genial cline would restore me. l got better for little while but in a few months became so weak and debilitated that we were in despair.
 Finally through the influence of friend I changed my diet and began us ing Grape Nuts and Postum Coffee. I used Grape-Nuts at two of my meals each day and have gained Is pounds in weight and the increase in strength is really wonderful.
 I am back to the healthy, good feel ings of my girlhood days l enjoy Postum better than any beverage I have ever used. My friends remark on my improved condition and l am impelled to write this letter with profound grati- oil lna induced to go and do likewise. I have proved that health is the natural conse- quence of properly selected food. Please do not use my name but l will be glad to reply to any inquiries" Name fur nshed by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

ENGLAND'S FIRST PLAYHOUSE

It was Erected in 1567 by James Bur
 bage, the Father of the Famous Ac-
 tor-The First Plays
 The first playhouse to be built in Eng land was the Theater It was erected in the year l576 and it's builder was James Burbage father of the famous actor, Richard Burbage and himself an actor of some repute. Access to the Theater seems in old times to have been over Finsbury fields. The Curtain. which curiously, is named from the name of the old manor on which the playhouse was erected, not from the familiar drapery of the stage, was sit uated south of Holy Lane in Moors- field (modern Gloucester streeD, and is first mentioned in the following year, lJII. Shakes peale's Romeo and Juii- et' was among the many plays first ac- ted there. The Theater was moved away to the Bankside and the old mate rials were employed in building the Globe, Shakespeares chief theater, in 1898, The Curtain continued to be used as d playhouse far into the reign of King James. No picture of either of these original theaters has been handed down. And owing to their position without the walls none of the old maps represent their precise location.-Pro- lessor Felix k.

ENTERT4T TNM EN7S.
Hyperion Theater.

New Haven has warm corner in it's heart for any one who anluses it, and
 there should be an especially big place
 there for Dan Daly, who is at the Fly perion tonight and tomorrow night with matinee tomorrow. His is the most original fun now before the pub lie. The other comedians do the same
 old things in the same old way, but Daly blazed a fresh path for himself through the forest of fooling and has
 walked it alone ever since. His style is so easy that mimics have found It
 easy to reproduce, that is. in the su-
 perficialities. But the spirit of his fun
 cannot be caught. It is Daly alone who
 can say those absurdly solemn comic
 things, and Daly's legs, of all the null tiduinous ones, that parade across the stage, that can twist themselves into
 those marvellous corkscrews to music.
 Daly is an actor who has brought for tunes to many managers and has saved countless plays by his drollery. He is the star of the latest musical piece that has succeeded in New York, and very appropriately it bears the title of "The New Workers" It is a breezy, hustling thing, without much plot, but with an abundance of incident, and loaded to the lee scuppers with humor of the gen. uine Daly brand. The supporting com- pany of players is composed entirely of New York favorites and is headed by Miss Anna Laughlin, Miss Rose Beau- mont Miss Laura Clement Miss Ida lene Cotton, Miss Carrie Perkins, Will liam Gould, George Schiller, Charles Evans, William Cameron, Frank Tan nehill, Nick Long and Frank Earring ton. Seats rapidly selling. Prices: Matinee. 30 cents. 75 cents, $1 and $50; nights, 75 cents, $1 and S1.50.

RELEASED ON BOND.
John Nelson Gives Security in the Sum
of $4,000.

John Nelson, against whom ten fndict
ments charging him with arson in Jackson
City are pending, was admitted to bail IN
the sum Of $4,000 late yesterday afternoon
by Judge Charles E. Nicol of the circuit
court for Alexandria county. The decision
was made after a general review of the
testimony adduced at previous hearings.
The principal point established was that
the house referred to in the indictment
under which Nelson was first tried was not
used as a place of residence. This fact, in
the opinion of Judge Nicol, rendered the
case bailable, and he SO ruled. In naming
the sum of $4,000 Judge Ncol referred to
the evidence which, he said. authorized the
assumption that the defendant was worth
in real and personal property at least $780,
600. The court thought that half of This
sum should be required.
Two hours after the hearing was over
Nelson had secured several bondsmen and
was released. The following residents of
Alexandria county, in the amounts append
ed to their names, became responsible for
the appearance of the defendant in time for
his second trial in the county court next
Monday morning: William Duncan, 81, 500;
Curtis B. Graham, $1,000; Geo. H. Rucker,
$1,000; Walter U. Verney, $1,000; John Hull
81 1000; DR.. H. c. Corbett, $1,000 and T. J.
DeLashmutt, $1,000.
