One of the tricks that the kindergarten skater should not attempt Is to skate on bis ear. After he has learned the steps he may essay to a few fancy turns like that, but for the first few days It Is better for him to Rkate wholly on his feet. If possible. In teaching a girl to skate always select one that is good looking. Then yon will have plenty of help In picking her np when she falls, and It wont be so hard on your back. Never bump Into a fat man who Is skating backward. Walt nntil he has turned around, as his stomach makes a much softer cushion. These, of coarse, are only hints.

The label on a certain spring water still in use was des.gnuted by Dn VInurler, who wus probably not overpaid for it. aud a New York artist who has since gained distinction eked out the hardest part of bis early struggles by designing advertisements for a commercial house. There have been many more perhaps, but the most conspicuous on record is Bastlen Lepage, who through this very fact was forced into fame. He was pursued by uumer< clful disaster through his youth in his I efforts to study art His mother worked in the fields to keep a sickly boy at ; school. At flfteeu he weut alone to Paris, starved for seven years, painted without success, but still?painted. He had just flnisbod a picture to send to the Salon when Paris was besieged, and lie rushed with bis comrades to the trenches. On the first day n shell fell Into his studio and destroyed his picture, and another shell burst at his feet, wounding blm. He was carried home and lay in and idle for two years. Then he returned to Paris and, reduced to absolute want, painted cheap fans for a living. One day a manufacturer of somo patent medicine ordered a picture from htm to Illustrate Its virtues. Lepage, who was always sincere, gave his best work to this advertisement. He painted a landscape In the April snnilght. The leaves of tender green quivered to the breeze. A group of beautiful young girts gathered around a founthln from which the elixir of youth sprang in a I bubbling stream. Lepage believed there was real merit la It. "Let dc offer It at tbe Salon?" be asked bis patron. Tbe manufacturer was delighted. "But first paint a rainbow arcblng over tbe fountain," be said, "with tbe name of my medicine npon ft." Lepage refused. "Then 1 will not pay you a sou for tbe picture." Tbe price of this picture meant bread for months, and tbe painter had long needed bread. Tbe chance of admission to the salon was small. lie hesi tated. Then he silenced bis hunger and carried the canvas to the salon. It was admitted. Its great success Insured Lepage public recognition, and bis later work gained him a place among tbe greatest of living artists. PROVERBS OF MEXICO.

One could almost Imagine that Pharaoh was again calling down the corn of Hnmnth to All his granaries against the seven years of famine. But oven here the old things are passing. Just beyond the long line of camels was a longer line of fellah women, their dirty blue robes kilted above their knees, carrying npon their shoulders baskets of earth and stone for the roadbed of the now French railway. The carriage road is French, too, and a very good road It Is, Some men were repairing It with a most Ingenious roller. It was s great round atone, drawn by two oxen and having Its axle prolonged by a twenty foot pole, at the end of which a barelegged Arab was fastened to balance the whole affair.
