The First Skaters.

It is very doubtful which race frs.
skated, for traces have been found
among prehistoric remains all over
northern Europe indicating that the
art was practiced by primitive peoples.
The Eskimo of the farthest north are
also found to be in possession of run
ners carved from whalebone.
Skating is mentioned by a Danish
historian about 1874, and Fitzstephen
in his History of London says that
in the twelfth century young men
fastened the leg bones of animals un-
der their feet by means Of thongs in
order to slide along the ice. This
statement is confirmed by the pair Of
bone skates of the period now in the
British museum. 1t is likely, however,
that these early Londoners got the
idea from Holland, probably via Lin
colnshire, where skates have been
used on the frozen fens from very re-
mote times.

Moorish Slavery.

It would do those good who write
passionate articles on Moorish slavery
to see the well fed. lazy slave Of
Wazan lounging in the sun, kif pipe
in mouth and scarcely doing a stroke
of work from weeks end to weeks
end. The most ordinary English kitch-
enmaid would accomplish in a couple
of hours what Wazan slave does in
week. All are free to come and go as
they please, but none avails himself
of this freedom. The reason is not far
to seek. In Wazan they are fed and
clothed by the shereefs and on holt
days and feast days receive presents of
money.
Thus all the necessities of life are
found them without their having to
work for them, which otherwise they
would be obliged to do. Nor is it only
the necessities of life that are thus
supplied to them free, but they are
given each his room to live in and mar
ried at the expense of the shereefs to
slave women. Their children, by law
slaves, are not necessarily SO and are
often apprenticed to workmen to learn
some trade Or if they wish are free to
seek their fortune in other lands

When TissOt Was Satisfied.

An interesting story is told Of

beautiful religious picture and, meet
ing a countrywoman, asked her opin-
ion of his work. Its chef d'Guvre,"
she replied, giving a remarkably just
and detailed appreciation of the va
rious merits of the painting.
Are you satisfied?" asked a friend.
Tissot answered in the negative. He
entirely repainted his picture. working
night and day.
When finished, he sent again for his
fair critic, who pronounced it admira-
BILE and remained silently admiring it
with smiling criticism.
Are you satisied?' asked the friend

not absent, but defective. 1t is on the
margin instead of in the focus of con-
sciousness. In the language of physio-
logical psychology a present appetite
presents its claims on great pillows of
nerve commotion which come rolling in
with all the tang and pungency which
is the characteristic mark of immediate
peripheral excitation. The future con-
sequences of the qualification of that
appetite, on the contrary, are represent
ed by the tiny, faint, feeble waves
which flow over from some other brain
center, excited long ago, when the con-
nection of this particular cause with its
natural effect was first experienced.
In such an unequal contest between
powerful vibrations shot swift and
straight along the tinging nerves from
the seat of immediate peripheral com.
motion and the meager, measured flow
of faded impressions whose initial We.

A good natured comrade brought him a

asked:

he seemed almost to revel in the fresh
morning light as he gazed on the
''sight enhancing" and his eye spar
killed. as files arrayed with helm and
blade" seemed to pass before him,
while deeper feeling awoke as the
passion of the song came upon him.
His voice, enc of infinite meditation.
but Of small compass, rose clear and
thrilling to it's highest pitch as he
sang:
Go ask yon despot whether
His armed bands could bring such
hands
And hearts as ours together.
His song was an inspired recitatiye,
and he seemed to improvise as he ran
his fingers over the notes, and as the
tide of thought came over him it was
poured forth in harmonious cadences
Of exquisite variety. Had he been tied
to chair, with the added doom of a
prosy companion, he would have ex-
ploded and gone off like rocket or q
bottle OF sparkling champagne.-West-
