About fifteen years ago an odd ge
nius nainxl PI jmpion,of New York,
coDOWtd ths idea of putting little
wbeols on kat fJr cummer use.
He made the elates, got out eo maDy
patents on them that a man almost
laid himself liable to infringement
by looking at them, and then hired
a ball- Plympton thought be bad
etrock a bonanza; bot in bis anxiety
to grow rich be overreached himself.
The 6eltyf the thing attracted
crowds to his skating hall at first,
but the owner would only rent out
the fractious little rollers, and utter
ly pefueed to sell a. pair for love or
maury, and the intertst in the new
moytment - died out Plympton
went to England, and nothing was
heard of roller skating or rinking
as it is called in the East for some
year,-1 In JS7G Samuel Winslow, a
man of- considerable wealth, got up
a greatly improved .roller skate, and
together with kis ten Frank arid a
young man named Aline, built the
first rink in this country in Woos
ter, Masf.'i It profed fuccesafuLand
in 1878 Frank Window built the
celebrated Vineyard rink in Martha's
Vineyard, and gave bis tkates the
same name. s (
Three years ago the fever 6truck
Boston, and baked beans became a
drug ou the market 'An elegant
brick - rink was built at an expense
of 145,000. It was an instantaneous
success. The fascinating amusement
took everything by storm", 4 and
knocked all other farms of amuse
ment into a kookcd bat Soon the
excitement took the form of a craze,
and began lo'epread to other cities.
Rinks were built everywhere. Staid,
sober men of business rtought rollers
on the qoiet,' locked themselves in
their offices and fell around upon
the furniture in iLeir attempts to
master tue things. Maids and ma
trons put them on and skated mer-i-)v
arouod-the kitchen for practice.
Everybody bad it It spread as far
wtl as Aiofitaija.
Boston has now the largest rink in
the world. The floor, or tkating
surface, which is of asphalt, is 200
feet long and 185 feet wide, around
which is a track of birch wood 50
feet wide. It cost eS.OOO to lay the
floor, and an idea of the fcize can be
gained from the fact that there are
but a trifle over 6ix laps to the
mile.
Chicac has some of the finest
rinks. Of these the Le Grande is
probably the most notable, having
an extra floor or track for bicyclists.
The Palace " is elegantly fitted -up,
a colossal mirror covering one entire
end of the building, and producing
a beautiful effect The Casino is
also among the best. These rinks
cost from ?50, W to 875,000. What
is to-day the finest rink in the coun
try, or in the world, for that matter,
was erected in Boston last season by
J. C. McKay, a rich Scotchman. It
ia called the Highland, and cost
$127,Ot0. It is built entirely of
wood, and the interior decorations
alone, which are among the- most
elegant imaginable, cost ever $3,000.
The windows, of beautiful colored
glass, are set in huge arches, the
sills of each being tilled with tropic
al flowers iu full bloom. The la
dies' and gents' dressing rooms are
provided with richly upholstered
furniture, and the floor covered with
velvet Brussels carpet Everything
is gotten up with an eye to luxury
and comfort The attendants and
instructors are all dressed in Scotch
Highland costumes.
The prices of admission are al
most uniformly 25 cent, and 15
cents for skate rent, with reduced
prices . for afternoon sessions. , In
pome of tot larger rinks 50 cents ad
mission and 25 cents for skates, and
in some of the small fry as low as
10 cents i charged. The running
expenses of a rink are from $500 to
11,200 per week, according to the
scale upon which it 1s run, and the
attractions presented. '- The profits
in some cases are enormous, the In
stitute rink, of Boston, being credit
ed with having cleared S40.000 in
one season.
Five years ago there were but two
or three roller tkate manufactories
in the country ; now they are num
bered by the dozen, and millions of
dollars are invested in the business.
The first roller skate had eight little
wheels in a row in the centre of the
skate. Then came the four-wheeled
skate," which was stationary.' Now
club skates are made which are flex
ible and comforting to every move
ment of the foot," models of elegance
and comfort A few years ago Hea
ley, the inventor of the skate of that
name, was worth about SG.50. Now
heis the owner of a large rink in
Indianapolis, at which be allows bis
skat alone to be used, - a pair of
wnich be gives away each evening,
and ia the proprietor, of a $00,000
bank account
-The rink tteasoo generally lasts
niue months from September to
Juue. Many of the leading rinks,
however, are open the year around.
OOCCPATIOH AS A PREVENTATIVE.
Never forget that idleness is ruinous
to young people, and give your boys
and girls plenty to do. "An ounce
of prevention' is worth a pound of
cure or, to change the figure, it is
very easy to run a locomotive when
everything is in running order, but
after a collision, it js quite another
things Take our advice. Put your
boy on the right track, and keep it
clear. Ten chances to one he will
go unhurt until he is twenty-five or
thirty ; and then well, you need
not break your heart because he
breaks his. Accidents will happen,
you know, they must come, sooner
or later but later is better. Give
him something to do. As for your
daughter, as soon as she leaves
school her books are thrown aside,
and she is expected at once to iden
tify herself, with household interests,
or to become a lady of fashion, ac
cording to circumstances.' Better
the first than the last ; but both are
wrong. Give her something to do
something which involves routine.
Let br keef ftp a slender course of
study. Give her good books and
papers to read. Find her occupa
tion at some kind, or She wilt soon
become restless and uneasy, and
ripe for any mischief. a .(

Men arid animals are able to sus

derful endurance will never be for

ces only less remarkable. Some
years ago the second mate of a ship
fell overboard while in the act of
hoisting a sail. It was blowing
fresh ; the time was night, and the
place was some miles out on the
stormy German ocean. The hardy
fellow, nevertheless, managed to

When I was at Alexandria last
week I heard an old man's state
ment of how President Jackson's
nose was pulled by Lieutenant Ran
dolph in the summer of 1833. Said
be:
"President Jackson was passing
Alexandria on his way to celebrate
the building of a monument to
t Washington's mother at Fredericks
burg. The steamer stopped at Alex
andria to get the maiL Jackson
was sitting in the cabin back of a
table smoking a pipe, and there was
hardly room to pass him. . His pipe
was a long-stemmed one, 'nd it
bung almost to his knee. A few
men, including Maj. Donelson, Jack
son's adopted son, were standing
about, and there were others who
bad come on board to see the Presi
dent and to look - at the boat
Amorg these was Lieutenant Ran
dolph, a connection of the noted
Randolph family to which John
Randolph belonged. He had been
dismissed from the navy by Jackson
for some trouble in his accounts.
He was a straight young man, and
not bad looking. He came on the
boat and pushed his way through
the crewd until he reached the cab
in. This he entered and went up to
Jackson as though he would speak
to him. President Jackson did not
know him, but held out his hand,
asking him to excuse him from ris
ing. As he did so Randolph, with
a quick gesture, seized Jackson's
nose and gave three strong pulls. It
was done eo quickly that no one
had a chance to interfere. Old
Hickory threw his pipe up into the
air as if to strike Randolph with it,

RanJolph had started off, 'and he J
was helped by the bystaaaers on 10

horse, and rode off into the country.
Jackson's . excitement was intense.
His nose was as red as fire, and I
am sure it did not regain'its color
for days. He said angrily, ?if I
hud had an idea that I was going to
be assaulted I should" have been
prepared. Randolph is the first vi1

who seemed disposed to dispute the
right of way with the train. The
engineer whistled a shrill warning
to them, but they heeded it not.
The train being heavy it was impos
sible to make a quick stop, and a
brakeman named Gilbert jumped
oft and ran abead to "shoo" them
into the ditch. They didn't "shoo"
worth a snap and Gilbert grabbed
one of them by the tail with the in
tention of throwing him over into
the lot whereupon the affrighted
animal started off on a run up the
track, with Gilbert clutching its
tail. If you've ever tried it you
know it s no fool of a 10b to main

ened calf, especially when you re
obliged to run straddle-legged t
avoid being kicked ' by. the flyiac

is what Gilbert thought as he danc
ed alonjr trying to make up his
mind whether he had the calf or the
calf bad him.
Meantime the engine was gaining
on tbem, and just as it seemed prob
able that the cow-catcher was likely
to overhaul the calf-catcher, Gilbert,
by a stroke of good fortune, sue
cdeded in rolling himself and the
calf head over heels down the bank,
and the train whizzed by within a
hair's breadth of them.

The students and the faculty of
YaleanJ the town born" of thVcity
are puzsled over the conduct of the
old town pump on the historic green
writes i New Haven correspbbdent
of the New York Sun, which for
some time has been ' emitting bet
water out of its Temple street spout
and pure cold water as usual out of
its .Church street nozzle, and so far
there has ben bo satisfactory' ex
planation of the phenomenon.
The New Haven town pump is fa
mous principally for the quality of
the water and for the number of
times it has been stolen by skylark
ing students. It stands fifty yards
from the college campus, on the
lower corner of the green, and is a
tall aad ponderous wooden structure
of the seventeenth century, with
two handles, two spouts, and to
iron drinking cups.. The city dots
not replace it with o modern style
iron pump because' these freeze upi
;n winter and are too cumbersome
for the students to lug away. And
so Now Haven peopl reach up for
the long hickory pump brakes, by
the thousands in summer and by
the hundreds in winter. .Some o f
the old business man of thti
place always stop there to drinl :
on their way down town from din
iter
Originally the site of the pump-f
was a cold a id limpid spring, frin-jj
ged with alders and in the center,!
of the nine squares origitauy iaia .
out The alder grove was a famous j
trysting-place, and existed for years.
The spring was walled up in two
sections, and the pump was set j
about the time Yale college was lo
cated here. The students have been
stealing it semi-occasional ly ever
since.
Prof. Daniel C. Eaton, of I ale,
was at a loss to account for the aque
ous freak of the old pump. Never
before in his recollection had there
been any such complaint. He whs
loath to believe the story of his d
friend at first, but stepping up to
the shackly Temple street brake he
applied his right hand to it with
vigrwk 'e with his lefthetztended
the iron tankard under the nozzle.
A stream of tepid water shot into
the cup, smoking with heal in the
cold air. It was Dauseatingly warm,
and stronsly impregnated with
minerals. Then the professor went
around to the Cbureb stree side and
yanked at the brake. Here he pro
cured a cup of ice-cold water spars
ling in the sunlight
"1 cm t account for the phenome-

non, saia ne. a ao noi uhuk,
however, that it may be attributed
to any volcanic er subterranean ac
tion." The professor indicated that hot
and cold springs side by side were
not to be looked for in this part ot
the country.
At times the Temple street spoui
yields water that is 60 hot as to .be
scalding. .Both streams come irom
the same source, though the spring
is divided by a wall from the bot
tom. Why the water ehoxild be hot
is a mystery. But wby such a
marked difference should exist in
the samples drawn from the same
well through two pumps set over it
is a mch greater one. There is a

tried for stealing chickens one day

him :
"You can go. You are discharg

not euiltv."
Jim passed his hand over 1 ia
brow, and asked in a dazed sort ot

"M"e not guilty ?"
Yes, you are not guilty."

Not So Bad at. He Thought.
A bright little fellow, about three
years of age, was very anxious to go
to walk with his father.
"No," said the latter, "you can't
go ; you're too little."
"Ob, no, papa," he said stoutly,
"I'm a big boy."
"All right," said his father, "come
along."
On the way home the little fellow
became tired and wanted his father
to carry him.
" I thought you were a big boy ?"
saiJ his father, pretending to sneer.
" I was a big boy when I started
out," he said, " I'm a little boy now."
He was cnrrieo the rest of the
way. Merchant Traveler.

What Preachers Should not
Forget. Preachers should never
forget that their exemption from
the laws of debate the fact that
thev are listened to in respectful
and reverent Bilence imposes a
corresponding obligation to speak
soberly, carefully, truthfully ; to sift
their facts, weigh their arguments,
and choose their words with pa
tience, judgment and discretion. It
ia very damaging to a man to be
come known as given to inaccura
cy, exaggeration, and loose reason
ing. In our day every audience
contains well-iniorroed men and
men of sound judgment, whose good
opinion means influence and suc
cess to the pastor.
The Oldest Man In Bomeraet

others are invited to call on C. N.

"Nothing unusual about that. She
did what ail other women do?"
"What all other women do?
What do you mean?"
"She took a husband for wheel or
whoa."
A Sellable Man
Would use Kemp's Balsam for
the throat and luries. It is curinc

We have had thirty years'
experience in manufacturing
Raw Bone Super-Phosphates,
and farmers may depend upon
our goods.
There is no improvement
or economy of manufacture
suggested by science orac
complished by skilled expe
rience, that ' we have not
embodied in producing relia
ble and cheap fertilizers.
; It has been shown over
and over again by testimoni
als from reliable farmers, ana
by analyses made and pub
lished by State Boards of Ag
riculture, that Baugh's $-5
Phosphate is a complete anJ
reliable fertilizer for general
use.
