ROLLER SKATING.
is Good for the Health.
By Mary Eleanor 0 Donnell.

Fashion has done a good thing liz
again introducing that good play.
roller skating, So learn it unIess
you already know how.
Go to the neares. rink, forget your
age. your dignity, your wrinkles.
Skim around with the youngsters
and smile with them as you see their
bright, happy faces. This splendid
pastime, so old, so long neglected.
has come back to stay.
One of the strongest recommends
lions of roller skating as an exercise
is the social element
In gymnasium work one works pIac-
tically alone, even though surrounded
by a crowd. 0ftimes the influences
though for the most part wholesome.
are not OF the most refining nature.
In the skating rink, however, all
this is changed Here one rolls
around easily and lightly accompanied
by friends. The element of gross
competition is absent, and good fell
lowship prevades the exercise
Whenever anything is great exer~
else and fine fun, that thing is worthy
of careful attention.
As an exercise roller skating calls
for large, free movements of the body
1t demands no excessive exeItion OF
mind or muscles. 1t brings into easy
and harmonious action every import
ant muscle in the body. especially the
much-used, much-needed muscles OF
the legs and waist.
Then it is an exercise that is enjoy
able and exhilarating The ngnLss
the music, the sight of friends, the
good himored laughter at falls or sol
lisions-all form set o conditions
that are conducive to general health.
For the girl who has been arl day
at the counter, for he man at the
desk. for the weary or brain-raggeo.
no matter what the age or occupation
roller skates for an hour in the even
ing will prove not only enjoyable, but
most beneficial exercise.
OF course it must not be overdone
the atmosphere must be pure, the
floors free from dust and all the con
ditions right.
Then there is the skating on ice.
Go out in the park any cold after
noon or evening for the next few
months and you'n remember those
better days when you were 16 and
belonged to the National Skaters
Union
There is something so celebrating
about the sport that it must appeal to
even the LATEST of mortals.
Fun abounds to such an extent that
it. too, is an exercise most alluringly
presented 1t isn't at all irksone, like
swinging Indian clubs or going
through tie usual athletic perform
ances IL is impossible to name any
exercise more beneficial to health ana
the pocketbook than skating for it is
decidedly inexpensive,
Breathing in the cold, crisp air is
revitalizing to the lungs and the in
creased circulation of the blood is
in itself tremendously excellent for
muscular development

Easy to stan DRINKING.

William Penn, according to the
Ladies Home Journal, was once urg
ing a man he knew to stop drinking
to excess when the man suddenly
asked:
Can you tell me of any easy way
to do IT,
Yes" replied Penn, readily, 1t is
just as easy as to open thy hand,
friend"
Convince me Of that" the man
exclaimed, and / will promise upon
my honor to do as you tell Ice"
Well. my friend" Penn answered,
whenever thee finds glass
of liquor in thy hand open that hand
before the glass touches thy lips, and
thee will never drink to excess
again
The man was SO struck by the sim
phcity of the great Quakers advice
that he followed it and reformed.

The sick tragedian lay on his
couch, staring with widely opened
eyes into vacancy. The doctor who
had been summoned first had just
arrived, and while he was removing
his gloves the second doctor came
into the room.
He mutters.' said the first. His
mind wanders."
"N-no, | think not" replied the at,

HE spoke quite slowly and dis

second.
HE said, "One woe doth tread

Lack of Cents in Canada.

A coin that appears to have sud.
denly become scarce is our one-cent
piece. The shortage cannot be ac-
counted for by absorption on the part
of the west, where population is rap
idly increasing, for the west disdains
coin of smaller value than the FIVE
cent piece. Possibly the present
habit of quoting bargain prices in odd
cents is causing our copper curren-
cy 10 be oyerworked. At all events
there is need for more of it-Toronto
