ROLLER SKATING.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
 There can be little doubt that roller skating is becoming more popular than 1t has ever been since walking on skates&reaIly the phrase is sufficient deflnition-was first invented Twenty years ago the pastime was fashionable for time, but the fntolerable hardness of the old-fashioned rinks, which were constructed of unyielding asphalt, and the heaviness of the original type of pattens, which were built of boxwood and were always liable to break, soon caused a revu1sion of feeling. In these days, however. timbered rinks are used and the blanks are laid so that the skater need never cross them in making his rounds, while every decent pair of skates is fitted with ball-bearings and aluminium rollers, so that the weight aluminuf rollers, so that the weight has been reduced two-thirds and the strength increased upto the limit of absolute safety. It is now possible for the learner to fall with decent comfort. even if he is not acquainted with the break falls'' of jiu-jitsu; and so one can skate for a whole hour without con- tracing an ankle-ache, which is-or rather was-as painful and abiding as the cramps experienced by an appren- tice to the art of running on snow- shoes. In the case of roller-skating, as in that of bicycling and other artificial pastimes modern Improvements in equipment have brought about renewal of popular favor.

What Is Behind Cannon ?

We have seen this man-says a writer in Success Magazine-this single repre- sentative among the 391 who are supposed to be equal and independent legislators stretch forth his hand and move as pawns in his game great government officials, senators, lobbyists and private individuals without number. We have seen the repub- lican organization in the House juggle the tariff schedules, affecting the pockets of the whole people, for the support of his power We shall undoubtedly see his vengeance executed on those of his fellow members who have dared to oppose his imperial will. We have seen and shall see him reward with place and power his friends and the political opponents who have become his allies-and all without the possibility of check or hindrance from any one
 What is the secret of this amazing power7
 Surely 1t is not in the man himself An individual is powerful only as he rep resents great forces for good or evil.
 The secret of Theodore Rooseveit's pow CT has lain in the fact that his vigor, his moral standards, his ideals have coin cided with the vigor, the moral standards, the ideals of the sturdy, healthy minded people of America.
 The secret of Abraham Lincoln's power lay in the fact that behind him, pressing him on, weaving itself into the very fiber of his being. was the American people $ sense of right. What Is the secret of Cannon's powre? There is only one way to answer that question.
 Look behind him, and consider what you see-oil, beer, steel, lumber, sugarl-and the vast interests which are waxing fat on the people.

thence to Yorktown. where he was ac- customed to make flights over and be- yond the enemy's works, but was always sure to return at evening to roost and receive his food in Tinker's wagon. Thence he went all through the penin- sular campaign, afterward to Antietam and Harper's Ferry. witnessing all the battles fought by his regiment.
 By this time he had gained so much favor that a friend offered $25 to pur- chase him, but Tinker would not sell him at aRy price, and soon sent him home as a present to some friend It might be interesting to trace the future move ments of this remarkable specimen of the feathered tribe, but none will doubt his instinctive loyalty and attachment to the old Tammany regiment.

Pigeon With a War Record. From the Chicago Tribune.

The following is a true and singularly remarkable story of a pigeon captured by MT. Tinker, a teamster of the Forty second New York volunteers, while the regiment was encamped at Kaloraf1a Heights, Va. MT Tinker made pet of him and kept him in camp until they started for Poolesville. Strange to say, the pigeon followed on with the train. occasionally flying away at great dis tance, but always returning, and when weary, would alight on some wagon of the train.
 At night he was sure to come home, and. watching his opportunity, would se- lect position and quietly go to roost in Tinker's wagon.
 Many of the men in the regiment took a fancy to him, and he soon became a general favorite. From Poolesville he followed to Washington, and down to the dock, where Tinker took him on board the steamer; so he went to Fort Monroe,

tendants to swing along and fix the warm shower for them.
 Another cute little plan of the rum mics who don't know how to swim lick is to dive right smack dab into the deep plunge, especially at the point where the water is over their heads. They overwork that theory, you see, that Providence is always on the side of the pickle Here we have to yank about five or six day out of the deep plunge.
 Think They've Been Robbed.
 "A good many of them, too, annex the quaint idea when they count their roll upon leaving that we've frisked 'em; us people in the office, you know; that we've shredded them for the main part of the wad that they left with us when they blithely glided in in a state of semi or sub-consciousness to have the vapors washed out of their heads.
 "The sobered ones who put up this kind of a moan never by any chance pause to reflect upon where they've been and what they've been doing be- fore they edged along to the Turkish bath. No matter if they've been skirt ing the coasts of Boozemia for a week or two. with all of the dust blowing that that particular kind of skirting costs, they feel sad and peeved and pert1rbed and things when upon claim ing their roll at the office of the bath when they leave they contemplate the dents that have somehow or another been put in the package.
 All or most of these chaps cool out and change heir minds about this stuff when upon gradually gathering the threads together upon reaching state of sobriety they figure out what they'd done to loosen the main ribs from their rolls before ever hitting up the Turk bath at all. But all the same it isn't any gay stuff to stand before the office desk at a Turkish bath and have 'em insinuate that we've been do- ing that Dick Turpin and Jesse James number to their wads."

admirahle nhvsical sxercise. thongh

admirable physical exercise, though it would be better if, as in American, it could be practiced in the open air. It puts no unusual strain on any one muscle or set of muscles, but develops and strengthens the whole system. Thus the making of the figure on rollers brings into play every single muscle. Above all, 1t teaches that power of balancing the body which is chief factor in so many other athletic diversions. There is prob ably no better or easier way of interest ing children in physical exercises.
