How We Learned Ski-Running

NNa splendid night in the cool

 They were on their way to tn. hunt ing grounds. and as yet 1t was quite safe to sit around the cafnpfi ' with. out special precautions against ma- Fauding lions.
 And as they sat there one of their number. Teddy vandeleur. made proposition to his mates:

Bill took the first attempt. Tom had shown us how 1t was to be done. He had poised himself upon the top or hill like a bird about to take wing lie had allowed nis skIs to tip over the edge and in an instant he was in full flight. going at nearly thirty miles an hour over the slippery. even surface or the snow, bending slightly forward, keeping his two shoes straight as arrows, and he ading, true as bullet, for the point
 ''How easy 1t looks," said Billy, ';and how delicious 1t must feel to go through the air like that, eh?''
 Tom came back. and placed him care fully, saw that his snowshoes were straight at starting, gave him his final instructions. Do bear too much for ward, or you will overbalance. If you feel yourself going. sit down, that will save you a header under the snow; but you needn't be afraid of hurting your self in any case. the snow Is very soft
 For few minutes l really thought Billy was about to pass through the Or- deal with success. He glided down the first twenty yards of the hill, Then something happened which inclined our poor William to direct his right snow shoe toward his left one.

 ment to a company of young ! folks. and to grown ones. too, if they wish to join in.
 All the players with the exception of two leave the room. One of the ont. side party is then called in, and told that new club has been formed and his name enrolled. but that he cannot be formally admitted unless he can guess the name of the club from the movements of the two members who ra- mained in the room. The initiate" is then offered A chair and everything he says and every move. ment he makes Is mimicked by the other two
 Sometimes the new member guesses at once, but when unable to do this, it IS very Funny to watch the effect thai the copying Of his every movement has upon him, especially when six or seven have been admitted.
 When the name of the club has been guessed, another new member is inc vited in' and the same programme takes place.

The Barber's Pole.

The origin of the custom of shaving the face IS iost in antlquity: The Greeks In connection with their baths.
 In the fourteenth century the barber's craft was recognized as profession, be- ing allied to surgery. The barbers were confined, as to surgery, to the letting of blood and leechins and the extracting of teeth, and the surgeons were pro- hiblted from shaving the face.
