Nye On Roller Skating.

Those of our readers who enjoy roller
skating will doubtless appreciate the
following from the pen of Bill Nye:
The roller skate is hayward little
quadruped. 1t is as frolicsome and
more innocent looking than lamb, but
for interfering with ones upright at
titude in the community it is, perhaps,
the best machine that has appeared
thus far.
ones first feeling on standing up on
a pair of roller skates is an uncomfort-
able toli,l.l.,yy 20 come from together.
One foot may start out toward Idaho,
while the other as promptly starts out
for Florida. The legs do not stand by
each other, as legs related by blood
should do, but each shows disposition
to set up in business alone and leave
you to take care IF yourself as best
you may.
The awkwardnc = &C this arrange
ment must be apparent. While they
are setting up independently, there is
nothing to do but to sit down and await
future developments. And you do sit
down, too, and without having made
any previous preparations for it, and
without having devoted as much thought
to it as you might have done had you
been consulted in the matter.
One of the most noticeable things at
skating rink is the strong attraction
between the human body and the floor
of the rink. If the human body had
been coming through space for days
and days at the rate of 1000, 900 miles
a second, without stopping at eating
stations, and not excepting Sundays,
when it strikes the floor, we could
understand why it strikes the floor
with so much violence. AS it is, how
ever, the thing is inexplicable.
There are different kinds of falls in
vogue at the rink. There are the rear
falls and the front falls, the Cardinal
Wolsey fall, the fall one Hacross the
other, three in a pile and so on. There
are some falls would liked to be ex-
cused from describing. The rear fall
is favorite. 1t is more frequently
utilized than any other. There are
two positions in skating, the perpen-
dicular and the horizontal. Advanced
skaters perpendicular, while Others
effect the horizontal.

promptness that is surprising. And h

The equipment for the rink is pal

lniment.

A friend took us into his cellar the
other day. He felt justly proud Of his
harvest returns and wanted us to see
them. The carrots, beets, squashes,
turnips and potatoes certainly did pre-
sent nice appearance, but the best
part of all was the neatness and COM
pactness of the place-no struggling,
mixed up heaps upon the floor to en-
danger your life every time you went
down cellar. Every box and barrel
was accessible and convenient at any
time
Each year much good farm machin-
cry goes to waste for want of proper
care, and protection. Why is this?
Negligence. lack of time and poor man
agement may be good excuses. but
poor reasons. The man who sells the
machinery is not half so distressed to
have nice new machine go in this
way as you might think, for he is pref
ty sure that the next good crop you
get will go to help pay for new one.
