SHEDDING As an All.
The swssss Are Edss.s In Ire Use q
the "SearisstSttins-T

The Swedes have made fine art
of Shedding. Their fastest sled i
called the sparkstotting ard Is an
exceedingly light sled that the IN
habitants Of NOrrland, a province
situated at the north Of Sweden en-
ploy during the winter as a means OF
iocOmotion. The use OF it now ex-
tends throughout entire Sweden,
where races upon this original Sc
hicle constitute one of the most
highly appreciated sports Of wintes.
Among other people OF the north, 10
Russia, Scotland and Germany, this
sport is entirely unknown, a fact
that Is somewhat extraordinary, con-
sidering that the sparkstotting car
be employed in all countries in which
the rigors Of winter permit Of the
use of ordinary sleds. The spark
stotting Is constructed entirely Of
Norway spruce. 1t is straight, Of
elongated form and weighs no more
than thirty pounds. 1t consists Of
two runners, curved upward in front,
and six and one-half feet in length.
To each Of the runners is fixed an
upright that serves both as a point
Of support and a tiller. The entire
affair is connected by two or three
crosspieces, one of which supports
light seat placed twelve inches
above the surface.
The Norrland sled differs percep-
tibly from the Vesterbotten type, In
which the runners, which are much
shorter. are not shod with iron, but
are well creased or impregnated
with boiling tar. The hghtest and
best type for racing is the one man
ufactured at Umea, in Norway. In
order to push the sparkstotting the
racer, bearing with both hands upon
the extremities of the uprights,
places his left foot upon the runner
to the left and then with the right
foot strikes the ground at regular
intervals so as to propel the sled
forward. If the snow is very hard
and the racer is not provided witt
spiked shoes it is necessary for BIZ,
to fix steel calks to the soles. In re-
cent times a horizontal bar, breast
high, has been placed between the
uprights. This modification renders
the steering easier and besides per
mits Of governing with a single
hand. Upon a level route the spark
stotting reaches a pretty good speed
without great effort. An experienc-
ed racer, when the snow is in good
condition, can easily attain the speed
of a horse on a trot. In ascents it Is
necessary to push the sparkstotting
or to drag it, but this does not cause
much fatigue, owing to its ightness
and the feeble surface in contact
with the snow. With this sled it il
possible to run very fast. - New
York Herald.

"Undoryille, why on earth didn't
you shoot Walker yesterday? You
could have done it easily"
"Well," said the driver, in perfect

na. and we reproduce il i'll order
to do away with the "but"-"If"
in Mt. Sterling if there be such.
Say, 90 you know any folks Of
this kind? If you do. see if you
can't write in the dust on their
counters their names with ease.
Men, push ahead-have nothing
but good days. Mt Sterling
should have nothing egt good
days with everybody aud We are
glad that their are very few who
talk OF dull times, unfortunate con-
ditions, etc. BE bright and cher
ry and when a day starts out slow
push the harder and every day will
be an active one and the business
will be great. Here is the article:
BUT-IF-.
Ever meet the "But"-"1f"
man?
or course you have.
We all have.
And you voted him disagree
able person, undoubtedly.
You told yourself that he was
"a mean old cuss, and that you
would give the next order to Jones
his goods were just about as
good, anyway.
Now turn the searchlight on
yourself.
Are you a "But" If" man
Then, reform.
Begin today-now.
Your customers and friends do
not like your "But"-"Ifs" any
more than you do the other fel-
lows.
Remember, every time you say,
''But | think it will rain to-mor-
row" in answer to Browns CHEEKY
Great day, Smith, you hurt
yourself.
Yes, YOURSELF.
Forms the habit Of negative
thought.
Starts you on the toboggan
chute Of pessimism.
Speeds you on to the day when
you will look at everything
through blue glasses.
Kills the power Of initiative
death to growth.
Wake up.
"Get wise.
Then your answer to the next
drummer's Flows business1,
will be, Great.
No more "But'-"Ifs," please.
They cost too much.
