Horticulture at the World's Fair.
Chief Samuels val?e3 plants at present
on hand at the World's Fair grounds in
Chicago at $200,000, and he is credited
with declaring that the collection of
large decorative plants has not its equal
iu the United States. The giant lerns
from Japan and Australia, grouped in
the center of the rotunda, have developed
their fronds, increasing rapidly in
circumference. The rotunda contains
also a number of Japanese maples, a pin<
200 years old, cinuamon trees, etc. This
exhibit is rapidly increased by new consignments
arriving almost daily.
In the greenhouse are nearly four thou
sand primroses grown from seed sen
from Italy, Germany, France, Grea
Britain and the United States. Of pan
sies Germany and Franco have mad
special exhibits, also Belgium and Hoi
land. Another green house division con
tains thousands of Persian violets ano
South American orchids; among the lat

An enthuriastic lover of chocolate affirms

prepare the way for a good dinner. 11

to brain-work the hours he could past

to those who, tormented with a fixed

Why They Are Speckled.
Charley Wilcox was in the burg the
fither day exercising his team of speckled
colts. The way the animals happened
to be speckled happened in this way:
While their mother was at Hat Creek
drinking, one day, she wa3 seized by
the lip by a trout weighing at least
twenty pounds. The fish had to be
killed with an ax before it would release
its hold and when the twin colts were
born they were speckled like trout.
They are an extra fine team and are

Ad Expert's Opinion.
Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists and
bygienists as to the relative value of th4
various baking powders. A careful sifting
of the evidence leaves no doubt as to tb?
ruperioritv of the Royal Baking Powder in
purity, wholesomeuess and strength, from
a scientific standpoint. An opinion, how
ever, that will have perhaps greater influ
ence with our practical housekeepers, is that
given by Marion Harland, the well known

to the science of domestic economy, of
housekeeping, ana 01 Dome cooKmg. m a
letter published in the Philadelphia Ladies'
Home Journal, this writer says:
"I regard the Royal Baking Powder as
the best manufactured and in the market,
to far as I have any experience in the uste or

it into my kitchen 1 have used no other in
making biscuits, cakes, etc., and have entirely
discarded for such jfurposea the homemade
combination of one-third soda, twothirds

"Every box has been in perfect condition

in the obscurity of
i the early ages. The
> *8 most ancient histo
rians mention it as
j J' ^ a characteristic of
I | I the Scandinavian,
. J f German and ether
tribes of the North of Europe. That a
i trace of it cannot be found among the
i exercises of the Greeks and Romans is
. not supposed to indicate a doubt of its
antiquity, so much as a scarcity ot ice
: in those latitudes. The discovery of
iron and its general utility gave the first
crude idea of the skate now in universal
use.
Previously the Baltic borderer worried
PAIL-SKATING A:
along contentedly on snowshoes and
runners made of wood. It is supposed
that during their frequent visits to England
in the Eleventh Century they paraded
this National accomplishment, for
history shows that the English sports of
the Twelfth Century had become adepts
in the art. One authentic record written
in 1180 says, "Many young men
play on theyce, asome tye bones to their
feete and under their .heeles, and shoving
themselves with a little picked
f JX

itaffe, do slide as swifly as a birde flyeth
in the air or an arrow out of a crossbow."
The iron blade was brought into use
in 1572, when the Dutch naval fleet was
frozen in at Amsterdam. A rival power
6cnt its troops to capture the vessels, but
the Dutch musketeers sallied forth on
skates and routed the invaders in short
A KACE ON A 1
order. Ever since it has been very difficult
to beat the Dutch on skates, either
in peace or war. The peculiar conformation
of Holland makes it the paradise
of the Old World skater. Communication
is chiefly maintained by a network
of canal?, and when these are frozen over
the art of skating develops from a pastime
into an almost indispensable mode oi
progression. Every native is an expert,
and blades there are in moie coruruor
use in winter than rubbers on Broadway.
An advocate of woman's righis would
0
be charmed to see the weaker ser glide
around with their marketing wares on
their heads and their knitting in their
busy fingers. Girls' race3 have been an
institution since the beginning of the
present century, while more than one instance
is quoted where a male champion
has succumbed to the superior speed of
these swift-striking damsels.
Sports and pastimes on ice have been
characteristic of every rigorous winter in
England since the reign of Charles II.,
but actual racing did not attract general
attention until about half a century ago.
Moskaters, of England, and Charles
June, of America, were then the preeminent
exponents of the art in their respective
countries. June was supplanted
by T. Donoghue, of Newburg, father of
the present champion, while MoskaterB
passed his title on to Larmen Register.
The race in which the latter won the
English championship is alleged to have
been the first in which an accurate record
of time was kept. The winner was
credited with covering the distance in
six minutes thirty-five seconds.
In 1854 the English championship
was won by William Smart, more familiarly
known as Turkey. His most
dangerous rival was W. "Gutta Percha"
See. See's son, George, and Turkey's
nephew, George Fish Smart, ousted
their veteran relatives in 1878, and since
mmmky
SD ICE YACHTING.
then Fish and h:s younger brother
James have divided the skating honors
of England. A National skating association
was formed there in 1879, and
the first amateur championship was held
under its auspices early in the ensuing
year. The same winter a ten and a
twenty-mile race for the amateur championship
of America took place. Both
events were won by George D. Phillips,
who terminated a brilliant career by winning
the figure skating championship
last winter.
The present international interest in
speed skating and the patriotic rivalry
engendered by properly conducted competitions
is universally attributed to the
compilation in 1884 of the first comprehensive
table of records. This invalu
able basis ior lmemanonai cuuipauauu
was the work of W. B. Curtis, of this
city, and it is now acknowledged as an
indisputable standard by the skating
authorities throughout the world.
Distance skating, like all other feats
of endurance, seemj to have been supplanted
by a desire for speed. The records
for the past decade from 10 to
100 miles are distributed between a ver f
select few, such as Alex. Paulsen, of
Norway; F. W. Craft, 8. J. Montgomery,
Secretary of the American N.
3. A., and the famous brothers Tebbutt,
of England. The distance of modern
races rarely exceeds ten miles. A. D.
Norseng's record for that distance is 32
minutes 38f seconds, made at 8t. Petersburg,
February If, 1890. Joe
i DoDoghue's time on a course cf the same
circuit at Newburg, February 7, 1891,
was 35 minutes 54 3-5 seconds. On the j
same day Donogbue covered five miles
in 15 minutes 36 2:5 seconds. Norseog's
, time at St. Petersburg was 16 minutes

16 seconds.
Norseng's fastest three miles is 9
minutes 26 j seconds, on a half-mile ciri
cuit, at St. Petersturg, Februaiy 15,
1890. On a similar circuit Joe
Donoghue skated three miles, at Newburgh,
February 7, 1891, in 9 minutes
' 19 1-5 seconds. At Heerenveen, Holf
land. December 18, 1890, Donoghue
, went three miles on a mile circuit in 9

for one mile at Hamburg, January 23,
I 1891, around a path about three*
f
sevenths of a mile in circuit, was 2
minutes 59 4-5 seconds. Donoghue did
2 minutes 59^ seconds on a small path,
at Minneapolis, December 20, 1889, and
covered a mile on a three-lap course, at
Orange Lake, March 8, 1890, in 2
minutes 59 1-5 seconds. Skating

cuit was 1 minute 30 2-5 seconds at Newburgh,
February 7, 1891. Noreeng
made the distance in 1 minute 22 2-E
second at Amsterdam, January 31,1890.
Since the above was written Joe
Donoghue, the American champion, has
beaten the world's record at 100 miles,
skating that distance against two com*
petitors at Stamford, Conn., in 7 hours
11 minutes and 38 1-5 seconds.
Changing the subject from skating to
tobogganing, we quote from an illustrated
article in Frank Leslie's as follows:
The Essex County Club at
Orange, N. J., is the oldest toboggan
club in the vicinity of the metropolis,
and the only survivor of the many which
were established several years ago.
Orange is noted as a social centre, and
tobo ganing is the winter fad of the
fashionable and select, Parties from
New York and adjacent cities frequently
visit the slides, and the scene on a fair
night is one of gieat brilliancy.
The costumes of the tobogganers consists
of the regulation Canadian blanket
suit, dark blue with red trimmings. As
shown in our illustration, tbe slide consists
of two parallel troughs about five
faat w!da witli olnnino niries. extending'
"v" " v1 1 a J a
a third of a mile up the mountain. The
course is lighted bj electricity. Snow
is not depended upon for the road bed.
This is made when necessary by pouring
water down the slope, which freezes even
in moderately cold weather. The lower
end c? these slides is elevated somewhat
from the valley, the elevation serving
to reduce the momentum of the
sleds. At times it is found necessary to
use sawdust to break the speed, and the
haystack is in all case3 employed as a
bumper at the finishing point. The
speed often attained by the riders is
really terrific to nervous people, but after
two or three descents the most timid
bccome courageous and find the utmost
enjoyment in the sport.
The gentlemen ot the Essex County
Club are most agreeable hosts. Their

quarters are cheerful and supplied with
everything necessary to generous hospitality.
The large meeting room is

me SJUC ui WD IU .?
there is a glass front, enabling the visitors
in the intervals of their sport to look
out upon the scene below. The clubroom
decorations of skins and snowshoes
afford suggestions ot a Canadian
winter. In fact, the whole appearance
of the place reminds one of wintei
sporting scenes in Montreal. It is hard
for one to realize, amid such surroundings,
that be is standing on a Jcrsej
hill side.
As a means of healthful recreation tobogganing
may claim a bigh placc
among winter sports. It is certain that
tbe young lady who Bpeads an evening
on the Orange slide will need no cosmetic
to bring the roses to her face.
Oriental Rugs.
It has always been a popular beliel
that the manufacture of rugs in th<
Orient was carried on by men almost cx^
clueively, but it is said that women dc
most of the work. In Aden, as noothci
occupation is pursued to any extent, the
whole province is almost entirely supported
by the labor of women. This is

! Repulsive Alaskan Customs.
"The natives of Southeastern Alaska,"
Baid ex-Governor A. P. Swinford, of
Alaska, to the Stur representative, "are
rapidly falling into the customs of
Americans, particularly as to their dress,
' some of the better class of natives dress(
ing even brftter than the American resij
dents. It was formerly the custom in
Southeastern Alaska for the women to
wear a Mabret' or short piece of bone or
steel in their lower lip by way of ornament.
Now one observes it only among
the old women. Along the Bering Sea the
men thus puncture their lips. They
begin with a small piece of steel or bone
no larger than a needier and gradually
increase the size until it measures nearly
an inch in diameter. The bigger the
'labret' the more pleased and important
feele the native. Men and women alike
plaster their faces with a thick coating
of black paste obtained from grinding a
sort of soft rock. They say it keeps the
features warm in winter and protects
them in summer from the attacks of insects
and troublesome flies. As a race
the people are under size and not per*
sonally attractive, though at Sitka one
may see some splendid specimens ol
muscular development among the men,
i while some of the young women are
good looking. There are now four
newspapers published in the Territory
> and it is progressing satisfactorily. Mj
stay there was very pleasant and I made
many warm friends."?Washington

How a Snake Swallows a Frig.
The method of 'swallowing is a very
simple one, although, if the frog be
large, more than half an hour may be
consumed in the process. The two
bones of the lower jaw are separate and
capable of independent movement; so
the reptile loosens it hold upon one side
of its jaw, and, pushing that side forward
as far 'as possible, it drives the
teeth in again, and then draws the jaw
back to its original position. The result
is that the prey is drawn down by
the movement. The process is then repeated
by the other half of the jaw, thus
inevitably forcing the victim inward.
The snake's skiu stretches enormously,
and the jaw is, of course, dislocated,
* ? 1? A- 1 1 J iL .
out tne extensiDie ngamenia uuiu iuc
1 bones together. The disproportion between
the diameter of the frog and the
serpent's sleoder neck is indeed marvel*
ous, and snakes have been observed to
1 split themselves open by attempting too
ambitious a mouthful. After perhaps
half an hour of laborious contortions,
all that is seen of the poor frog is a great
1 swelling that the contracting muscles
are rapidly forcing down thB reptile's
neck. If one liberates the captured frog
before it is too late, the wretched animal
often seems so overcome by fear, or perhaps
stupefied by the serpent's saliva,
that it will not leap, b-'t crawls in a
painful manner. We must not allow
ourselves to be duped into a mistaken
sympathy, however, for such is the
poetic justice of the case. Large frogu
esteem smali snakes a particular delicacy.
