NORTH HOLLAND IN WINTER.
Skating Is Business There, and the
Skaters Wear No Shoes

oNokNte w car iNO 0fSSS-
In the north of Holland. writes
Temple Manning in the Indianapolis
Star. saw the serious side of skating,
the side that is not an idle art. but
Practical business.
The very first thing the tiny Tristan
learns after he acquires the ability to
toddle around is how to skate. If he
wasn't an expert he would be seriously
handicapped all the rest of his life, for
the country is a network of waterways,
and when they freeze over all business
is done on their slippery bosoms. To
the Tristan it is second nature to skate.
To him it is a delight as well as
necessity. and he is more at home on
skates than he is on a good earth road.
If you ask a Tristan which season
he likes best. summer or winter, he
will answer winter" In summer he
finds it harder to pole or pull his boat
through the waters of the canals than
I'm winter to push a sledge along while
he follows on his skates To him the
canal is his road.
The first oddly that struck me when
1
lights was that the skaters did not
wear shoes. They strapped their skates
to their feet over very heavy socks
that kept out the cold. They laughed
at me when | went skating with my
skates clamped to leather boots. They
could not understand how on earth l
could skate freely and gracefully. AS
n Of foot I far from hninO
a graceful skater, but the Frisians
were too polite to laugh at my clumsi-
ness, attributing it entirely to my
shoes.
OF course | went to Friesland with
preconceived notions of what the coun-
try would look like. but the charm of
the reality was far beyond my imagi-
nation. 1t seemed to be land of ice
and snow that was not unhappily cold
rather the frigid element seemed tc
be a completing touch of perfection
have never seen Friesland in sum
mer. but | cannot imagine it separated
from its frozen waterways and its pic
turesque skaters.
Were | to epitomize Friesland in q
single description would picture it as
sheet of ice flowing between two
banks that glitter with snow. and IL
the center l would place a milkmar
pushing a sledge filed with cans be
fore him. as he skated whistling mer
rily behind. And behind him | woul(
draw a bevy of boys and girls skylark
ing on skates.

HUMAN CREDULITY.
Millions Are Taken Every Year From
the CuIIihIe BY Sharpers.

Millions Are Taken Every Year From
the cuIIble by sharpers.
Human credulity passes all limita-
tons. Before me lies a newspaper
story from Chicago: \ man was on the
way to a savings bank to deposit S145.
Two smiling strangers met him, fooled
him with the story that they had "a
magic handkerchief" which would dou
bic the strangers money if he would
fold his bank bills within it. After
the operation the strangers told him to
watch the handkerchief and see his
money grow. They disappeared. They
had his money and the handkerchief
contained waste paper. Does this sound
impossible?
Here is another story, even more i'm
probable. but true. In New York a
company appropriating the name of a
well known corporation advertised to
sell its shares at bargain, and fixed
price that was just twice the stock
market price. A circular was sent to
the Italian quarter intimating that a
great opportunity was presented for
workingmen to secure an interest in a
wonderfully prosperous railway, that
only few shares could be had and
that they must be bought at once. A
rush was made for the stock. although
every daily paper printed the quotation
of the same security at half the price
at which the swindlers were offering it.
The police put an end to the game.
If people are so credulous is it sur
prising that the postoffice authorities
report that S15OOOO.O00 year is taken
from the gullible by dealers in fake Sc
curities? If Wall street did this kind
of wretched business it would deserve
eprobation.-Leslie's Weekly.

Poachinu an Eco.

The food value of an egg is enormous,
but an invalid tires of eggs served in
the ordinary way. Here is method In
volving some trouble, but worth it for
the sick persons sake. Break an egg
into a fat dish of cold water and let
it remain covered with muslin for
twelve hours. Then pour the water of
very gently indeed, so as to prevent
the egg going with it Now poach the
latter in boiling water, adding just a
tiny pinch of salt This. nicely served
can be eaten by any one, for it melts
in the mouth literally. Two might
be cooked. for done in this way one
egg is not much.-Buffalo News.

BLUNDERS IN BATTLE.
Cases Where Troops Have Fired Upon
Their Own People.

II was at Beacon hill during the Boer
war that there happened one of the
saddest incidents in the history Of the
British army. The East Surrey were
in hollow between two hills creeping
up the valley. The West Surrey regi-
ment. half a mile away, caught sight
of the crouching figures and took them
for Beers.
In moment a heavy volley rang
out. and it was not until an officer,
realizing the mistake. rushed out in
front of the West Surveys that the
firing ceased.
A nurse. writing afterward from the
Estcourt hospital, said it was pitiful to
see the West Surveys coming iii one
after another. bringing cigarettes, dain-
ties. any present they could find, for
the wounded men. then. hearing their
groans. turn away, saying: God for
give u.s. This is our work."
One of the strangest cases OF troops
firing upon their own people occurred
in Roumania in the year 1885. At that
time Roumania was in very disturb
ed condition. and bands of robbers
regular banditti-prowled over the
country. raiding the villages and
farms. The largest of these bands
made its headquarters In the forest OF
Rhodope and gradually increased unit
1t became 300 strong. 1t spread terror
through the whole countryside, and al
last the government sent a body OF
( troops to hunt it down.
The robber band was located on toI
of a mountain. and the colonel in com
mand of the troops split his forces anC
sent half up each side so as to attacl
from two points simultaneously.
A thick fog fell, and the robbers tool
advantage of it to sneak away quiet.

MANY USES FOR LEMONS.

A S il Is said that "our blessings
~ brighten as they disappear" we
had best enjoy lemon dishes
while there are still plenty, for. owing
to the war. our prodigal supply may
be somewhat diminished. Lemon pie.
always favorite, is fairly good at all
places where il is served. and most at
home cooks have their own special
ways of making 1t. Here is a recipe
from Baltimore which is a veritable
lemon dream; but. like other good
things. 1t calls for the best Ingredients;
Lemon Pie.
Line the pie dish deep with good puff
paste. Beat the yolks of three eggs
with one cupful of sugar and add the
Juice of one large lemon and little Of
the grated peel. Don't fail TO wash
the lemon before grating To one ia
blespoonful of -four add one cupful of
light cream. Mix as smooth as possi-
BILE and then strain into the other in
gradients; mix and turn into the crust
Bake the pie in moderate oven thirty
minutes. Beat the whites stiff with
about four heaping teaspoonfuls of
powdered sugar and spread the me-
ringue on plain. or through pastry
bag return to the oven for couple of
minutes to brown. watching it careful
ly so it does not scorch.
Lemon Sherbet.
Take the juice of two large lemons
and n pound of sugar; warm enough
to melt the sugar. then put into the
freezer and freeze ten minutes. Add
a quart of rich milk or part cream and
milk. little of the grated peel and
the white of one egg stiffiy beaten with
a teaspoonful of sugar. Freeze until g
/ little bit sitter than mousse. Serve
with macaroons. and put a green cher
ry on top Of each portion. with just &
sprinkling of powdered macaroon.
Lemon Pudding.
To one pint of bread crumbs add the
Juice and grated rind of a lemon: ado
a cupful of sugar and the yolks o.
three eggs beaten in a quart of gooC
milk. When baked cover with a laye
of lemon or wine jelly, then add thu

with three teaspoonfuls of powdered
sugar; lightly brown in the oven. Thi
may be eaten warm. but is very gooC

GOOD NATURED ELEPHANTS
Peculiarities of Some of the Herds OF
West Africa.

West Africa.
In 1908 | found myself near the In.
zia river, an important atiluent of the
XVIII. flowing through a fertile region
which is infested by herds Of ele-
plants. source of constant anxiety
and frequent losses to the inhabitants.
In a country like this. where he is
not hunted by man in the ordinary way
and the only means for his destruction
are cruel but easily avoided pitfalls
the elephant is decidedly good natur-
ed. We were told by the mission boys
ut Pana that in the rainless season.
when their usual haunts are dried up,
the elephants frequently wander near
the river and attack the plantations.
The natives try to drive them away
with sticksl
But it is no good hitting them or
throwing stones at them" | was told.
"They generally refuse to take any no.
dce. Sometimes a mother with a calf
will turn on us and chase us for a hun
dred yards or so. but no real harm is
meant and the animal is not really an
CRY for all the signs Of fury-spread
ears and raised trunlS-are absent. All
the same. we do run away. although
we know there is no danger One day
boy fell when thus pursued. but the
elephant only threw sand on him."
AS | have myself seen a man just
pushed out of the way by one of these
good natured monsters. when the ami

to kill him. was inclined to accept
this account as true.-Wide World

DeviIfsh.

Devilfish weighing up to 200 pounds
are sometimes caught in Japan. These
fish are amphibious. They are often
seen wabbling on their tentacles like
giant spiders in search of patches of
sweet potatoes. The natives kill them
with clubs. In the water they are
caught in jars lowered to the bottom
which the octopus enters, thinking
them a good retreat from which tc
catch its food.

Mannanesa Steel.

A remarkable popularity of manga
nese steel is its almost complete lack
of magnetic properties. a bar of this
steel balanced on knife edge was not
drawn out of balance by powerful
electromagnet. but when hammered
into very thin foil the steel was lifted
by the magnet.
