The most popular of all outdoor winter

poorest country lad with his seventy-five
cents "Grecian Bend" skates may enjoy the
sport on the neighboring mill pond or creek,
that would delight the son of a Vanderbilt,
to whom the expenditure of $10 for a {/air of
"Club" skates would seem a trifle. The coun
terfeit of ice skating—roller skating—for
a
time enjoyed unparalleled prosperity, which
seems, however, to have finally departed.
The immense favor which roller skating
attained may be explained by its not being
subject to the wbims of the weather, the
sport being susceptible of as great enjoyment
in summer as in
winter. But ice
skating in the open
air produces an ex
hilaration not to

ORIGINAL BONE SKATE, ijg popular. The
art of skating is carried to the greatest per
fection in llollund, where the numerous canals
make it possible for every one to indulge in
the pastime, and even to utilize it in every
day winter life. There are as many styles of
skating as there are skaters almost, and every
skating nation has its characteristic method.
If
With a little practice a person may easily
acquire the art of "cutting the figure 8," mak
ing a "spread eagle" or other figures upon the
ice with the sharp edges of his skates.
Most devotees of the sport pride themselves
upon the length of the sweep which they
make. This is rolled the "outward roll," and
it is particularly favored by young ladies,
either unaccompa
nied or with es
corts, as it serves to
display all the grace
and ease of balance
at the command of
the skater. The
young couple illustrated above seem to lie so
entirely absorbed in their QWII graceful inure
ments as to lie quite olilivious of the fact that
they are being intently watched by the artist,
who is sketching them.
CKECIAX BEND.
Skating is very ancient, having I teen prac
ticed in the north of Europe at least a thou
sand years ago. The first approach to the
modern skate was made by the Danes, and
was simply apiece of smooth bone bound to
the foot by means of cords. With these slid
ing was practicable, but there was no means
of propelling oneself, and therefore wooden
staves with sharp pointed iron ferrules were
employed to furnish the motive power. The
cut of the original skate here presented is ac
curate, so far as the skate itself is concerned,
but it is hardly probable that U'aukenphast
shoes were used in those days.
These primitive contrivances were in use
but a short time, for the Hollanders soon de
vised a skate which
embodied the essen
tial principles of
a the skate of to day.
'•'l!Sip*-\ These were at first
made very large,
PL'TCIl ROCKFR. with the end of the
runner tapering off to nothing in an extensive
curve over the toe. This, in a reduced form,
but with scarcely any other modifications,
constitutes the "Dutch Rocker," which luay
to this day lie found in the possession of many
farmer boys, banded down from their grand
fathers, whose limited capital will not admit
ir buying the more modem and exjien
/ticle.
*•-. the antiquated and ungainly, but
Serviceable, "Dutch Hockei^' *'ame
uui Seciaii Bend,'' which projected for
aliout an inch beyond the wood at the toe and
heel, running to a point, or nearly so, ateacli
end. This was probably the best skate for
all purposes ever made, combining :is it did
strength and durability with symmetry und
lightness. Up to this time skates had always
been made with the liottoins of the steel run
ners quite flat, necessitating frequent, sharp
ening of the blade.
To avoid this
"Creased Bottoms"
were introduced.
In these skates a THE KOCKUK.
groove was ground into the middle of the en
tire length of the sliding surface of the steel
ruuuer, thus giving a well dcliued edge to
"push off" with. "Creased Bottoms," as well
as flat runners, are used on the Club skates of
the present day, which are an improvement
simply upon the fastening apparatus of the
old styles. In the "Club" the skate is miule
entirely of steel or iron and is fastened to the
thick sole of the boot by means of aciamp op
erated either by a key and threndbolt or else
Ly a lever.
The danger of being injured seriously while
indulging iu the fascinating exercise is greatly
overestimated. No one ever heard of a nov
ice hurting himself, and with reasonable care
the expert will always be able to fall in such
a manner as to escape with only a slight
bruise.
A little advice to skaters may not be amiss
just here. If you are gliding along rapidly
and notice tbat the ice under you is cracking
never attempt to retrace your steps, but lie
down at full length as quickly and as gently
as possible and roll over and over until you
strike thick ice.
It is time the humbugging system of ap
pointing as auditor inexjierienced men with
no knowledge and l«ss taste for figures was
abolished. Employ experts who under
stand what they are about. A few yeai*
since a bright clerk in a large corporation
was about retiring, and wishing to do the
honest thing, he showed that the auditing
bad been done by him, and though there
was nothing wrong in his accounts, he ex
posed the folly of taking incapable men to
perform the work.—Boston Journal.

Death of a Thousand Dollar nird—Start*
liug Conversational Powers.
Jack, the nondescript, one that has sorely
puzzled the greatest ornithologists of Amer
ica, and for which the sum of $1,000 has fre
quently been offered and refused, died ou
Thursday at the residence of its owner, Capt.
Frederic Perkins, Brooklyn. He was a re
markable linguist, and, although of Oriental
nativity, spoke English with great fluency.
A Christian Chinaman, one of thousands of
people that visited the bird, said that he was
of a genus rare in the Celestial empire, but
that specimens had been. infrequently seen
within about ten miles of Canton, and he at
tributed to it many of the characteristics of
the American starling. His breast and back
was of a beautiful drab or dove color, the
wings and tail of rich velvety black tipped
with white, the head surmounted with a tuft
of black hair like feathers legs and bill yel
low long, sharp talons, like those*of a hawk,
and a small, vicious gray eye of peculiar
shape, be was the size of a kingfisher. Many
fancied that be was a Pagoda mynah (Te
menuchus pagodarum), but the best authori
ties repudiated the suggestion. Capt. Perkins
received the following from Professor J. B.
Holden, of the Central park zoological col
lection, after forwarding a minute descrip
tion of the bird and asking for its tribe:
DEAR SIR—I have looked over several works
that we have and find nothing concerning the
creature. Wood's Natural History of Birds I
though! would contain the most particular ac
count, but find that it only repeats what we all
k|ow about niynahs. It says that the mynah is
thought to be equally intelligent with the gray
parrot, that is equally able to talk with any other
bird. I don't kuow of a work to recommend to
you. General works on birds are not common.
I wish that 1 could direct you further, but 1 doubt
any one's ability to find a book with a reference
to the subject matter of your inquiry.
Chinamen believe that because of the start
ling intelligence and apparent conversational
(not merely verbal) powers of tbo bird it
was possessed of evil spirits. His knowledge
of Chinese was unbounded. Among liis mi
metic towers were accurate imitations of
coughing, sneezing, crying, laughing, sharp
ening of knife, drawing nails, grating nut
megs, sawing wood, filing a saw, burking of a
dog and other sounds, given with wonderful
precision. It actually conversed with Capt.
Perkins, and apparently was made aware of
the approach of his master by instinct. So
soon as the captain came near bis home the
bird would screech a welcome of "Hello, Cap,
dinner is all ready!" or, "This way for llock
awav, Cap!" He whistled an air liko a
human being, and the house dog would re
spond to his call. He understood everything
that was said to him. The captain,' in pleas
ant weather, would take Jack into the street
perched upon his shoulder, but his affection
for his master was so strong and so wonder
fully manifested tbat the latter had no fear
of his elopement. "Ah!" said the captain to
tho writer, "I almost feel as if I had lost a
child. Talk about his value—no one could
name his price to inel"—New York Times.

A singular story was told me of the way in
which a great mastiff who had never l»eeu in
the city manifested his opposition to being
"taken." After some little trouble he was
placed in position facing the instrument, and
remained quiet till the photographer pulled
the cloth from in front of his lens and let the
big glass eye stare at the huge dog. This was
two much for the mustiff, who at once sprang
at the machine and pulled it down liefore bis
owner could interfere to prevent his doing
any further damage. Then, after quieting
the animal and letting liiin see what was
wanted of him, he submitted calmly to being
••taken," and was so pleased with his photo
graph that a copy is kept in his kennel firmly
fastened by a frame and covered by a glass,
which prevents him from exercising his pro
liensity to lick it with his tongue.—Boston

Two Little Executioners.
The World tells a story of two youthful
Bostonians of "good families," aged 8 and!)
years, who were so impressed by that famous
work, "Fox's Book of Martyrs," that they de
termined to imitate the events therein nar
rated. Did they, then, proceed to sit upon
gridiroas, or to twist each other's noses with
pincers? Not much. It was not the martyrs
but the executioners they wanted to emulate.
They accordingly captured two pet pullets
belonging to a neighbor, and, "tying them to
a stake, built a fire and roasted them to
death." It is not stated, but it is most
sincerely to lie hoped, that the parents of
these youths treated them to a little martyr
dam on their own account.—New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
Signs of the Summer Kxodus.
"Travel to Europe will lie very heavy this
summer," said a trunk manufacturer. "I
am sure of this, liecause there is such a big
demand for stateroom trunks, steamer chairs,
traveling rugs and all the other parapherna
lia common to fashionable and wealthy tour
ists. Youilg women particularly are evidently
going abroad quite numerously. They come
in here every day for small trunks" hand
sachels and steauier chairs. The demand for
these latter articles has grown so great that
every trunk store nowadays has a few of
them setting around for sale."—New York

Miss Wolfe's Kindness.
It would be of interest to know how many
young women Miss Catherine Wolfe assisted
through Vassar, and how many of her bencfi
ciaries were as ignorant of the source of their
help as a girl student whom the writer ran
across the other day. A petite little senior
just home for her Easter vacation, she only
learned on the day of Miss Wolfe's funeral
how it came about that her aunt bad myste
riously been able to give her a college educa
tion and meet the constantly recurring tui
tion bills.—New York Mail and Express.
Selected for Policemen.
The police department of New York is not
prejudiced evidently in tho matter of selec
tions for "the finest." Thirty-seven additions
to the ranks were made recently on probation.
Four of tho number were machinists, four
were clerks, ten were conductors or drivers
of cars or trucks, three were teamsters, two
were blacksmiths, two were agents, one a
printer, one a butcher, one a rigger, one a
watchman, one a newsman, one a gateman,
one a bookkeeper, one an undertaker, one a
fireman, one a milkman, one a cutter, and
one a stairbuilder.— Chicago Times.

Interesting Discoveries In Otsego Coun
ty. N. V.—An Ancient Village Site.
A very remarkable discovery was brought
to light a short time ago upon the well known
Blade flats at the junction of the Charlotte
with the Susquehanna, on the south side of
the latter stream, at a point some two miles
above this village. During the recent high
water abroad current was in some way di
verted from the main channel across a bench
of alluvial land rising two or three feet above
the general level of the neighboring bank.
The field having been plowed last fall and the
soil to the depth of two feet or more consist
ing mainly of a fine alluvium, a gully two or
three rods wide and as many feet deep, to the
clay subsoil, was cut clear across the field for
some rods—to a "binnacle" or overflow put
ting out from the main stream at some dis
tance below. The current does not appear to
have been very swift, and inconsequence ob
jects of some weight contained in the soil
were left behind as the latter filtered away.
For ten days or a fortnight the plowed sec
tion was under water. When the flood sub
sided Mr. Slade and bis son paid a visit to the
place to ascertain the extent of the damage,
when what was their surprise to note in the
bottom of the new made channel many frag
ments of rude pottery mingled with flint
chips, arrow and spear points uud similar re
mains. They gathered many, and the news
of the discovery spreading, the spot has since
been visited by several persons. The site laid
bare by the flood is unquestionably that of an
aboriginal village. Altogether some 3,000
fragments of iwtteryhave been taken from
a few square rods of surface exposed, to
gether with 100 spear and arrow points
many of them of unusual form—several flint
drills, as many "sharpening stones," two small
granite axes, uuinerous "sinkers," etc. Sev
eral ancient fireplaces, of river cobbles, bed
ded together, were disclosed, from one of
which a peck of charcoal fragments was ex
humed. The pottery, several pieces of which
show an exterior surface of three or four
square inches, is both plain and ornamented,
the latter in most intricate design. One
fragment shows a human face, but straight
lines, variously combined, and curious punct
ured patterns are the prevailing type. Kims
and edges, being tho thickest and least perish
able portions, abound in the collections made.
The plain pottery is remarkably hard and
well preserved, and in both plain and orna
mented the inside surface is in most cases of
a black color, ill strong contrast to the brick
red or chocolate hue of the exterior.
The top soil in the neighborhood abounds in
Indian relics, arrow and spear heads, "ham
mer stones," and the like, but it contains no
sign of this pottery. Tradition runs that
there was an Indian village in the locality.
But it might well have existed two feet above
the level laid bare by the flood. For there is
nothing to prove that the soil had before
been distorted for ages. If indeed this be
the site of the Indian village, then is it to be
said that thero can hardly exist that differ
ence between the Indians and the mysterious
mound builders which has been commonly
supposed, for the pottery obtained on the
Slade flats is precisely the same as the pottery
exhumed itf western mounds.
It may be remarked in connection with this
subject that a so called "Indian mound" ex
ists on Waiting's Island not far below this an
cient village site that there is another near
the inoutb of the Otsego creek, athird at Sid
ney and fourth in the Unadilla valley.

A Strange Meeting.
There was a strange meeting in the throng
ing mass in front of the Koyal exchange the
other day. Hero from earlv morning till
late night is a constant procession {of people.
There is no place in London where the crowd
is so dense or where there is such a variety of
people to be met. Right in tbo heart of this
throng at 1 o'clock the other day a brother
living in Egypt meta brother living ill New
York. The brother living in Egypt was on
his way to call at a banking house in the city,
while the New York brother was on his way
to the continent. Neither knew that the
other was in England at the time, and their
meeting jp the midst of this great strug
gling crowd upon a line where a second's dif
ference would have resulted in their passing
by each other is a marvel of accidental meet
ing which I do not think can be very easily
matched again.—London Letter.
The Parson's Story.
The Rev. Dr. Forbes, of St. Paul, a plain

this story: "A young man of the Young
Men's Christian association gave a starving
woman a tract and nothing more, and told a
lawyer afterward that he had never seen
such a spirit of Christian resignation as that
woman manifested in receiving tho tract.
Then the lawyer swore ut him. I think that
if there was ever a time for swearing then it
was. God would surely pardon it. If I am
hungry and a fellow offers me bread and
prayers, I will take tbe bread and do my own
praying."—New York Sun.

A Man with an Appetite.
There is a funny little old man in Essex,
Mass., who is always eating. Three meals a
day are only an aggravation to his appetite.
He will rise at 2 o'clock in the morning and
eat a slice of meat, some eggs, several pieces
of bread, cut of ham and perhaps a few pota
toes. At o'clock he eats a hearty breakfast.
At 9 he has another. About 10 he begins to
grow hungry again. And so, like an aveng
ing Nemesis, hunger chases him day and
night. He is always craving food, and yet
more than one reputable physician says tbe
man is perfectly well.—Boston Transcript.
