WINTER SPORTS
In Zurich When the Lake Is Frozen

Record: Switzerland is usually con-
sidered to be very cold by Americans
in general. Chicago residents may be
surprised to learn that their city is
colder than any city in this country.
The thermometer rarely touches zero
(Fahrenheit) here. In most winters
it does not reach that temperature at
all, and when it gets below that the |

“‘oldest inhabitants” begin to
stories of the past. For four winters
no ice has been seen on the beautiful
Lake Zurich. The lake is supposed to
freeze every 50 years, and then King
Carnival holds reign. Cabins are built
forming streets like the Midway Plai-
sance, and 1 aurants, carousels, mu-
seums and bazaars are erected unon
the glittering ice, while skating is to
be had on smooth ice for miles, Places
of business are closed in the afternoon
and all the city moves to the lake.
This century the lake was frozen in
1829, 1879 and partly in 1890. Indica-
tions are that it may partially freeze
again this year. Famous winter re-
sorts in Grison, like St. Moritz, have a

the atmosphere is so dry that it is
customary to wear straw hats through-
out the winter on sunny days. The

FOR MIDDLE- AGED WOMEN.
Two Letters from Women Helped Through
the “Change of Life” by Lydia E.Pink-
hawm’s Vegetable Compound.
“DeAr Mrs. PINkuaAM :—When I first
wrote to you I was in a very bad con-
dition. I was passing through the
change of life, and the doctors said I
had bladder and liver trouble. I had
suffered for nine years. Doctors failed
to do me any good. Since Ihave taken
Lydia E. Pinkbam’s Vegetable Com-
much. I will gladly recommend your
medicine to others and am sure that it
will prove as great a blessing to them
as it has to me.”—Mgs. Geo. H. JUNE,
901 DeKalb Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.
Relief Came Promptly
“DEAR MRS. PinkaaM:—I had been |
under treatment with the doctors for
four years, and seemed to get no better,
I thought I would try your medicine.
My trouble was change of life, and I
must say that I never had anything
hélp me so much as Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound. Relief
came almost immediately. I have
better health now than I ever had. I
feel like a new woman, perfectly
strong. I give Lydia E. Pinkham'’s
Compound all the credit, and would
not do without her medicine for any-
thing. 1 have recommended it to
sevetal of my friends. There is no
need of women suffering so much for
Mrs. Pinkham’s remedies are a sure
cure.” — MAHALA BUTLER, Bridge-

And the simple thoughts are best.

T WAS 8 o'clock of a Saturday
morning in February when Mr.
and Mrs. Stone
their farmyard and took the
road northward.
the highway, packed and polished by
weeks of good sleighing, creaked
under the runners of their ‘‘cutter,”
and the sun was shining gloriously
over the wooded hills to the east-
ward.
The Stones were going to spend
Sunday with ‘“‘Cousia Maria,”
second cousin, and the object of Mrs,
Stone’s admiration and envy. She
declared that there was no house like
Cousin Maria's, and no domestic con-
veniences and advantages like those
she enjoyed; that nobody wore such
1 eautiful clothes, or had such good
things to eat, or commanded such re-
sources to ‘‘do with’’as Cousin Maria.
In short, Mrs. Amasa Stone, who had
not been a great while married, and
who had one of the nicest little farm-
houses in the country, as well as one
of the best and most devoted husbands
in the world, was somehow a vietim of
that most disagreeable and distress-
ing malady envious discontent; and
the immediate occasion of it
Cousin Maria. If she could only ex-
change places (perhaps not husbands,
but everything else) with Cousin
Maria, how happy she would be!
Curiously enongh—Dby that strange
irony of fate which we often see crop-
ping out in human life —Cousin Maria
felt the same way toward Mrs. Stone.
She secretely, but sincerely, envied
the little woman with the big devoted
loverlike husband and the model farm
house overlogking one of the most
beautiful and productive valley farms
in New England. “If I could only
keep house like Cousin Ella!” she
would sometimes say to her husband;
and then she would add to herself,
‘Perhaps I might if I had as nice a
house and the things to do with that
she has.”
Sincere and cordial envy does not
make people dislike each other, by
any means; andit was natural enough
that Mrs. Stone and her eousin, Mus.
Holmes, should enjoy visiting each
other and thereby adding fresh fuel
to their mutual admiration, They
traveled back and forth on these social
exchanges a good deal, and their hus-
bands, who liked each other (and each
others fare, by the way), were never |
averse to ‘driving over” for a day's
outing. The two farms lay some 20
miles apart, in different townships,
and about midway between them was
a village, where the Stones and the
Holmeses each had a special friend,
with whom it was convenient and
pleasant to stop for dinner while
going a-visiting.
The sleigh bells rang cheerily and
the miles rapidly fell away behind the
Stones’ cutter this February morning,
as they drove along toward Hydeville,
the half way village. ‘‘I hope nothing
will happen to the stock or the hens,
said Mr. Stone.
“Oh, don’t worry about that!” ex-
claimed his wife. ‘“You spoke to
Leonard, as usual, didn’t you?”
‘“Yes, I asked him to fodder once a
day and attend to the milking. But
he lives quite a little piece away, and
if it should come on to storm” —
“Storm! Look at the sky!” ex-
claimed Mrs. Stone, with a scornful
laugh. “I declare, if you aren't the
greatest man to worry over nothing.”
It was still gloriously pleasant
when they reached Hydeville, at 11
o'clock, and they stopped there two
full hours. As they again took the
road,at 1 o’clock, they noticed that the
sky had become slightly filmy, but as
it frequently does cloud over thus to-
ward the close of a fine winter day
they were neither surprised nor dis-
turbed. At 3 o’clock, however the
wind began to rise, the sky grew more
overcast,and before long was spitting
sharply out of the northeast.
“What do you think about a storm
now?’ asked Mr. Stone.
“Drive along and get there as quick |
as you can,’”’was his wife's only reply,
as she gathered the buffalo robe more
tightly about her.
When they reachel the Holmes
farm, at about 4 o'clock, the wind was |
howling and the snow
the landscape in sheets. Mrs, Stone
got out at the side entrance and
plunged shiveringly against the door,
but turned at once to her husband
with a look of surprise and consterna-
tion. The door was locked! So were
the front door and the kitchen door,
as they syeedi'y discovered.
“They’re away from home,”
nounced Mr. Stone.
“They’ve gone visiting,” groaned
his wife. “Oh dear! do you suppose
it’s possible they've gone to visit us?”
‘‘Shouldn’t wonder a bit,” replied
Mr. Stone. “Come to think of it, I
heard a man’s laugh when I went over
to the store in Hydeville that sounded
like John Holmes's. But I couldn’t
tell where it came from, and couldn’t

an-

“Goose!” cried Mrs. Stone. ‘He

barn, like as not.
tioned it! Well, we must just make
the best of a bad job. I know where
Maria puts the kitchen key when she’s
{ away, and we might as w ell go in and
take possession—-as they will have to
do at our house, I reckon.’’
The key was found on a nail under
the stoop, and Mrs Stone proceeded
to take possession, while her husband
stabled his horse. When Mr. Stone
eame in he found the lamps all lighted
and his wife in a high state of excite-
ment and delight at the prospect of
‘using Cousin’ Maria’s nice things for
a while! I guess it's all for the best,”
she announced, with unexpected
cheerfulness, ‘For once in our lives
we will have a taste of keeping house
with modern conveniences!”

In the meantime My. Stone took
care of Holmes’s stock, and Mr.
Hoimes took care of his, while their
wives revelled to their hearts’ content
in the supposed domestic advantages
and improvements for which they had
envied each other so long. At last
the two families were able to get word
to one another, and a day was set for
the mutual evacuation of each other’s
premises and a meeting at Hydeville
on the way. Both parties were in-
vited to dine at Jason Soper’s that
memorable day,and the reader may be
sure it was uot one of those dinner par-
ties that languish for lack of conver-
sation.
Late in the afternoon,as the Stones
came in sight of their own pleasant
farmhouse, Mr. Stone said, hesitat-
ingly, ‘“John and I had some talk of
exchanging farms while we were har-
nessing up. We thought, if’—
| “Stop right there, Amasa Stone!”
| cried his wife, with a sudden uncalled
| for burst of tears. ‘If you ever men-
tion such a thing again’ ——
“Why!” exclaimed Mr. Stone, in
glad astonishment, ‘I thought youn
were crazy for Cousin Maria’s modern
conveniences, and John said that
| Maria made life a burden to him by
hankering after yours. So we thought
we’d please both of you by swapping
farms.’
“Well, you'll neither of yon ever
hear anything more on the subject
from Maria or me,’’sobbed Mrs. Stone.
| “We were both of us so homesick and
| so ashamed that we Lurst out crying
when we were up in the front chamber
at Mrs. Soper’s, and confessed what
focls we had been. I guess neither
of us will ever quarrel with her own
things again—Ileast of all, with her
own husband.”’—American Agricul-
turist.
THE NEW WOMAN'S BABY.
rings Him Up According to
Rules Laid Down in the Books.
“But haven’t you any more books
on the subject?’asked the woman, ap-
| pealingly, much as if the person she
was consulting had large installments
of books hidden away, only forthcom-
ing when his heart should soften.
‘“Not in, now,’’ and the young man
| at the circulating library turned to a
newer comer.
“Why don’t you take something
else?” advised her companion.
‘‘Because I do not come here to
get any books. I just want books that
will give me information about caring
for baby. Ever since he was a wee
little thing I have been reading every-
| thing I could cet on the subject. I
think,”’ she said, crushingly, turning
to the yonng man in charge, “I will
not take any book today.’
Then as she started away her tone
changed to one of pity.
‘‘How was it,” she said to the other
| woman, ‘“‘that babies used to struggle
up, when there were no magazines or
books about how they should be
trained? Every one of my friends who
| has a baby does just as IT do and gets
evey article she can upon their physi-
‘al or mental or moral well being.
And one does get such help. Just the
other day I was reading somewhere:
‘No mother should be without a baby’s
diary. Jot down all the sayings of
the little one,’and so I’ve started with
such a pretty book, leather bound, you
know, and I mean to keep 1t up.”
| ““That must be awfully interesting,
| said the other woman, ‘‘isa’t it?”
| ““This last book, the one I had
| given back when I met you, gave me
fine directions for caring for baby’s
teeth, especially the second teeth. I
shall do exactly as it says, and take
him to the dentist in time. In that
way, you knuw, you avoid all trouble
about teeth coming in crooked and all
that. Kindergarten methods ave fine,
too, and I've been reading up about
| them, for I want him to have the ad-
| vantage of the latest ideas.”
“How old is he now?” asked the
listener suddenly.
| “‘Three months old,” said the proud
mother, loodly. —New York Sun.

An invisible brake for bicycles is
formed of linked rods connecting the

‘The most important and prominent
facts of change in the wheels of this

to avoid stepping upon the crack or

consciously, and yet if on the next
square the size of the division in the
pavement is changed, you will notice
that almost invariably the pedestrian
adapts his steps to the new arrange-
ment, and still
cracks. Children used to play a game
called ‘poison’ cn their way to school.
The game consisted entirely in care-
fully avoiding stepping upon a stone
or some other material selected by the
ieader to be designated as ‘poison,’ to
set foot upon which was supposed to be
followed by direful consequences.
Whether the habit of ‘looking where
you step’ thus acquired is continued
by those who now try to avoid cracks

Justice Brewer as a Story Teller.
Asscciate Justice Brewer, of the
United States Supreme court, is one
of the best anecdote relaters in Wash-
ington, and frequently tells stories on
himself. Here is an amusing one:
‘When he was studying law in New
York city he evinced some interest in
the municipal campaign then on and
was invited to make a speech on a
certain occasion, He accepted and
carefully fortifying himself with in-
formation on the subject and other-
wise preparing for his part of the pro-
gram he appeared on the platform in
ample time. When he got up he made
an eloquent depiction of the virtues
of his party; he made deep draughts
on simile and metaphor; his sentences
were exquisitely rounded and it was
a masterly example of a class-day ora-
tion. The audience sat unmoved, an
occasional man alone greeting what he
said. The next speaker was an un-
kempt individual, careless of grammar,
who committed a wholesale slaughter
of the English language. But he made
several geod points in a crude way
that appealed to the crowd, and when
he ended the applause was deafening.
As the then would-be lawyer with the
fine periods passed out a man behind,
not recognizing him, whispered in his
ear: “I like that second feller better;

Mortality.
One of the counties of the state of
Connecticut once boasted of a judge
who, though poorly furnished with
those little refinements usually met
with in polished society, was an ener-
getic, shrewd man, and a promising
lawyer. A neighbor of his was about
to give away his daughter in marriage,
and having a deep-rocted dislike to
the clerical profession, and being de-
termined, as he said, “to have no par-
didates for the connubial yoke taking
their places before him, he addressed
the bride: “You swear you will marry
this man?” “Yes, sir,” was the reply.
“And you (addressing the bridegroom)
swear you will marry this woman?”
“Well, I do,” said the groom. “Then,”
said the judge, “I swear you're mar-
ried!”

Never let blankets remain in service after they are
soiled, dirt rots the in and invites moths. Because of
the peculiar saw-tooth formation of wool hair it is neces-
sary that a soap made of the best materials be used; a
cheap soap, especially one which contains rosin, will
cause the blanket to become hard by matting the fibre.

And a single anointing with CUTICURA,
purest of emollients and greatest of skin cures.
This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, per-
manent, and economical treatment for torturing,
disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly,
crusted, and pimply skin and scalp humors with
loss of hair, of infants und children, -and is sure
to succeed when all other remedies fail. Nn
Millions of Women Use Cuticura Soap
Exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the
scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for soften-
ing, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, in the form of baths for
annoying irritations, inflammations, and chafings, or too free or offensive per-
spiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative
antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially
mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of
persuasion can induce those who have once used it to use any other, especially for
preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. Curr
CURA SOAP combines delicate emollient properties derived from CuTicuraA, tho great
skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower
odors. No other medicated or toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with
it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No
other foreign or domestic toile: soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it
for all the purposes of the toilet, batn, and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE
Soar at ONE PRICE, viz., TWENTY-FIVE CENTS, the BEST skin and complexion soap,
the BxsT toilet soap and BEST baby soap in the world.
