... i THE SKATING LESSON. Bow Thornley Fulfilled llis Hash Christmas Promise. tShe was a beautiful girl, and Thornley was the happiest man along the Hudson river because she was paying his sister Emily a two weeks' visit. There was a stretch of glassy ice below the houss, and when Thornley jokingly asked her what he should give her for Christmas Bhe smiled sweotly and re"Givo me a few lessons in skating. I have never learned, and the ambition of my life is i to glide over the smooth surface of the I frozen river.'' "I shall be delighted to instruct yon, Miss Lakeside," Thornley said eagerly. And he meant what he said. He little dreamed then that she weighed 180 pounds?little cared, perhaps, for love is reckless and unreasoning. Thornloy himself, when equipped with an overcoat, a pair of rubbers and his everyday clothing, tipped the scales at about 120 pounds. "Do you think you can support me, Mr. Thornley?" she asked coyly. ^'Support you?" repeated the gallant but rash Thornley as he rose from his knees and grasped her hands to begin the lesson. "Support you? Why, I could Bupport you for?for life, Miss LakeBida" "Oh, Mr. Thornley!" she cried, blushing like a rose. Her eyes fell, and a moment later she and Thornley followed them. Grasping her by the arms, Thornley tugged until the veins stood out like whipcords on ma crow ann finally raised her to her feet again. She made four desperate strokes with her wabbling skates, quite unintentionally kicked Thornley's feet out from under him, and then sat down again with a vehemenoe that called forth a crackling protest from the astonished ice. Thornley picked her up once more. They struck out a second time. History repeated it, self, and the habit soon became chronic. Thornley's brow was beaded with perspiration. It began to dawn upon him that she must weigh at least 180 pounds. When he picked her up for tbe seventh time and attempted to guide her wandering and irresponsi ble feet, hexchanged his mind. "If she weighs an ounce, she weighs 8001" he thought, with a gasp for breath. "This is positively dangerous. The ice is only about sis inches thick, and there isn't a life preserver within a mile of us!" He paused for a moment to rest the right arm that had been holding her up for half an hour and to get the numerous painful kinks out of his back. "You are tired, Mr. Thornley?" she murmured. "That's?that's right," he panted. "Aro?are you still sure you could support me for life?" she asked mischievously. "Support you for lifer" he gasped. "Of course I could if I only had a derrick!" And that night 180 pounds of offended loveliness started for home. Eable H. Eaton. Charles Dickens on Christmas. Christmas time! That X man mas^ be a misanthrope indeed in whose breast something like a J0 1 ^ee^Dg i? not rous6(*' *n w^ose iQd some pleasant associations are not awakened, by the recurrence of Christmas. There are people who will tell you that Christmas is not to them what it used to be; that each succeeding Christmas has found some cherished hope or happy prospect of the year before dimmed or passed away; that the nresent only serves to remind them of redaoed circumstances and straitened Incomes, of the feasts they once bestowed on hollow friends, and of the cold looks that meet them now in adversity and misfortune. Never heed such dismal reminiscences. Look on the merry faces of your children, if you have any, as they sit round the fire. One little seat may be empty. One slight form that gladdened the father's heart and roused the mother's pride to look apon may not be there. Dwell not upon the past. Think not that one abort year ago the fair hild now resolving into dust sat before you with the bloom of health upon its cheek and the gayety of infancy in its joyous eye. Refleot upon your present blessings, of which every man has many?not on your past misfortunes, of whioh all men have some. Pill your glass again, with a merry face and contented heart Our life on it, but your Christmas shall be merry and your new J ear a happy one. Tongh on the Turkey.

You have a beuutiful tlion between = two and three years old?fresh from his native wilds?that you wish to make perform. How must you go about it. To one person and to one only the wild animal that i9 to he taught to perform, mu>t look for all the comfort* of j its life; for the trainer fairly livef with his annuals. He feeds them, he gives 'hem waier, and?when he can?he them through their paces. Once a day the trainer gives his lion about six pounds of fresh beef or million and a bone, three times a pay he gives them fresh water, and not another person goes near the lion or looks at him. The meat is pushed iuto the cage with a long pole, but the lion is forced to come a little way towards the front in order to get it. The distance bttweeu the animal and its trainer is thus gradually shortened until the lion at last comes close to the man to receive his food ; and no doubt looks forward to those visits, which he has learned invariably means a treat. After niau and beast have thus become, in a degree, acquainted with a. each other the lion is changed in another cage, where he is kept a fortid night with a continuance of thesame care and attention from his trainer. At the end of six weeks, perhaps, . when L.eo lies asleep near the front of the cage, there is slipped around his neck a loose collar to which is attached a chain that wiil allow the beast room to walk about a little, but will r. not permit him to go to the end of his cage. Then a chair is slipped into the cage The lion will roar," crouch and spring toward the chair ; finding himselfre'8 strained by the limitation of his chain, he will suik and growl, but tinally settle. u.n<i,aii in o>utoh the r huir After IjJ lie iiimrcii w (TMkVM ..? a few clays lie accepts bis new furui lure, 'lheu the trainer, after having opened the door of the caye two or three limes, goes in and sits down on the chair. Of course, the lion resents ^ the presence of the intruder. But the chain is stout. Thus by and by Leo accepts the man, as he had before tolerated the chair. And now comes the "ticklish" time for the trainer. He must actually beard the lion in bis den, and that, too, with no chain to'restrain the a. furious animal from springing at his throat. A lion's nose is a portion of his anatomy about which the bea*t is extraordinarily sensitive. A sharp rap over the nose, with a stout stick, is marvelously effective. ld When C'aptaiu Bonavita first takes the chain off a liou he is training, he carries two sticks, one in ei'her baud ; i?ut raps ttie lion with the stick in the re ricbt tiand only. This apparently B gives tlie animal a certain reverent 16 awe for the stick in the left hand, which he seems to consider in danger of jumping out to smite him. Assoon * as the king of beasts will permit the familiarity, the trainer scratch shim a" with the stick; ami therefrom, in -omeciudeway.no doubt, grown up rw the idea in the lion's mind that sticks when not snarled at, do not rap the nose, producing pain, but, on the com 10 trary, caress hi> chin and sides, 'hereby giviug pleasure.?Ruth Everett, in the Pilgrim. id u nl of r< it. f7 its VALUABLE on PR0P1TV FOR SALE !
