A SKATING POND AT HOME.

It is simple matter to place a skating rink at your back door, and once there, particularly if extended over Irregularities in the yard, and to include the trees, it will develop in finite delights. Clear off every snow fall, pushing the snow into a bank around the selected site. After sun down, the first hard freezing night, water the cleared space and the in- ner base of the bank, using spray hose or sprinkling can. From the be- ginning. the trick is merely to pro- duCe skating surface in as short a time as possible, taking advantage of melting snOws that freeze again at night to help. The ground being tom. In a cold. open winter no in closing bank is needed-just cover your lawn win successive layers of ice. Obviously, grass should be close cropped in advance.
 My children and their friends were saved hours of walking to a distant lake, and were safer and happier on tne TlHk that gave He nne e&erclSe Tn the making. Evenings the olde. folks had their turn, and refused to miss it. Our rink occupied the back lawn of an average plot in the resi- dentia part of a large suburban town. The plan is practical and de- lightful for any size place. while spots 15 feet square will give chil- dren under = huge fun without dan ger of discomfort The rinks do not iniure lawns and are ideal for learn ers.-CirCle Magazine

According to the deed of gift of the Americas cup ten months notice of a race must be given, and accord ing to the rules of the New York Yacht club the racing season ends on, October 31. Thomas Lipton has been ready to send challenge for another race for the cup for two or three years now. He declines abso- lutely to race under the old rules, which foster racing machine pure and simple, and wants to race with a boat of wholesome type because he thinks that more can be done for yachting with yachts of good type than with mere racing machine. He is preparing to arrange race un- der the New York Yacht clubs pres ent rule measurement or under the rule of Europe, but he is of the opin- ino that the deed of gift stipulates that the cup must be raced for under the rules of the club holding it.
 The New York Yacht clubs rules always have governed, and that club has held the cup since it was first offered as a challenge trophy. Those rules have been changed several times, and three different sets or measurement rules have governed yachts built to race for the America s cup, but in spite of these precedents the club when Sir Thomas last chal- lenged decided that the cup stood for speed on a given water line length only and it could not agree to have yachts race for the trophy that were built to conform to certain restrlc- tions. Although the club has taken that position on cup affairs 1t is by no means the opinion of all the mem bers that the cup stands for speed. There are many who would like to see another race arranged with Sir Thomas Lipton and they would like to see racing machines barred.
 These supporters of Sir Thomas thought that they would have been able to get the club to resclnd It's former resolution and agree to race with yachts built under the rules, but the changes that were made III in, rule of measurement this winter changed their plans. They are work ine quietly, though. and it is not at All improbable that some such action may be taken next year and rae arranged in 1910.
 Some members of the club nave stated frankly that they are tired or Sir Thomas and wish that snrle olh- er vachtsman would challenge, Dll all British yachtsrlen agree tha' there will be no more racing for the America's cup until the defeafer5 or that trophy agree t, race with boats that are not mere racing machines

NO CUP CHALLENGE.
Time Limit Passed Owing to Restric
 tions of New York Yacht Club.

Glasgow, Dec 24,-As there Is no prospect for an America's cup race in challenge having been passed, Will liam Fife, Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht designer, has laid aside the plans for a yacht which had been well near completion.
 Sir Thomas Upton and William Fife are both desirous for another race for the America's cup, but the restrictions of the New York Yacht club make the chance of challenge well nigh impossible.

Anty Drudge on Teaching 'Rithmetic.

Anty Drudge on Teaching 'Rithmetic. mother spent two hours boiling the clothes, three hours in rubbing them, and an hour to hang them out, how many hours would that be altogether? Little Mary-"Yes but my mama doesn't boil the clothes She washes them with Fels-Naptha in cool lukewarm water, and she doesn't have to rub them hard, either"
 Anty Drudge-"Youd better make the time shorter, Mistress Schooteacher, when you give addition question like that to little girl whose mother knows the advantage of washing with FelS-Naptha."
 Easy on the woman and easy on the clothes.
 That's why progressive women are washing their clothes with Fels-Naptha in cool or lukewarm water in summer or winter.
 It's easy on the woman because 1t does away with fires for heating water, makes hard rubbing unnecessary and takes less than half the time of the old way of washing.
 It's easy on the clothes because there is no boiling to make the clothes tender, and no hard rubbing to wear them into holes before their time
 Save yourself; save your clothes-use Fels-Naptha
 Costs little money for a big cake, and lasts longer than ordinary soaps.
 In using 1t follow directions printed on the red and green wrapper.
