There is 'a University avenge resi- dent who has lost all faith iy ther- mometers. They're all wrong, he de- clares, and one daren't mention the word temperature to him without be- ing threatened with instant annihila- tion, The other afternoon, he felt a little off color, and took some medicine. Then he put one of those little ther- mometers in his mouth. Then he took it out, and what do you think it re- gistered ? Just 104 degrees ! That cer- tainly scared him. Into his mouth he again stuck the thermometer, and the record was now 105 degrees. Certain- ly the fever was increasjni rapidly. The victim rushed to his telephone and called up Dr. ------, to whom he told his condition. The good doctor instructed him to take several things and to soak his head with a Wet tow- el. The instructions were carried out to the letter, and when the feverish patient came downstairs, he looked like the man in that farce entitled "What Happened to Jones." The thermometer was tried again, and this time it registered 103 de- grees. Hope sprang up in the victim, and he nearly smiled. Then he won- dered if the thermometer could be wrong. His wife suggested that an- other one 'be tried, and that bf a neighbor was borrowed. And when it was drawn from the "sick" man's mouth, the registration was ninety- eight degrees or normal temperhture. The wet towel was flung off the pa- tient's head, and there was great re- joicing. The 'convalescent' suddenly developed a huge appetite, and he ate the biggest meal of the season. WALKED TO NAPANEE, Kingston Runaways Had a Long Tramp. Police Constable.

Two of the lads have re- latives in Belleville, and left King- ston, with the intention of going there. The other two had friends im Napanee. The boys were sent to school as usual on Tuesday morning, but instead .of going there, they took the road to Napagee, starting about nine o'clock, and at 9:30 o'clock ia the evening, they reached Napanee, very tired. They had no dinner, but stopped at a farm house for supper. It was raining when they reached Na- nee, and when they saw Chief -ira- on the street, they asked him if they could stay at the police station over night. The chief 'took them to the lock-up, and afterwards received word from here about the boys being missing. He at once notified the lo- eal police, and thus the capture of the lads.

Christiania, Dec. 7.--The winter has now set in in earnest, and spofts up- on the extensive fields of snow throughout the cotmtry is the order of the day. The girls of Norway, like their sis- ters in America, take their full share in the sports as well as in the stu: dies of their brothers. In the long months of the Norwegian. winter, when all the world goes ski-ing and tobog- ganing, the hardy young Norsewoman 18 in nowise behind her brother in her feats on Norway's "wooden wings' and in the toboggams, which carry them at breakneck speed down the snowy hillsides. It is a glorious time for the girls as well as the boys of Norway, and afternoons and hali- holidays prove all too short, so that they have to be eked out hy means of torchlight far into the long northern nights. Fortunately, the. Norwegian girl is less concerned, as a rule, about her appearance and her clothes than her French or English sister, for to . go ski-ing or tobogganing in comfort and safety she must throw vanity to the winds and wear a costume that makes for ease and comfort rather than ele- gance. English women visiting No- way have been known to declare at first that they would sooner abjure the sport than adopt the dress ap- proved by the expert. The short skirt and loose tunic or bodice of dark woollen material may pass muster, especially since such ad- ditions as bright embroidery in col- lar, cufis and belt are not forbidden, and there are possibilities of coquetry. in the Tam or other woollen cap. It is at the shapeless hoots of réindeer skin with their seamless 'soles, their size increased by the cozy lining of fur, that the novice looks askance, while she ridicules the fingerless knitted gloves that recall her nursery days. But the expert knows these are needed as protection against air that blows over miles of frest and snow, and after a short spell of looking on at (the thrilling flights of the Norwe- gian girls; the most fastidious girl from other lands succumbs to the fas. cination of trying a flight on these narrow lengths of wood that the Nor- wegian boy or girl manipulates so easily. She will do well to begin with td bogganing, for, if she does not an occasional plunge into a snow drift, an encounter with another sleigh, or the trouble of dragging her toboggan uphill, she will soon be able { to hold her own with others. But ski-ing is quite another matter. Like skating it looks so simple and is so difficult. It is all a question of bul ance, Frithjof will assure her, while he tries to assist her in the painful process of "finding her ski-legs,"' as one learner has it. But it is wel worth some humiliating spills and floundering, for, once mastered, the art of ski-ing provides a method of motion that some have likened to a swallow flight some have combination of cross-country riding and sailing be- fore a stiff breeze. On a fine Saturday Sunday the girls and tiania make their groups up to Holmenkoellen, mind afternoon or boys of Chris- way in merry where held the great ski-jumping competi tions, witnessed by the king and queen. It is a charming spot, with pine-clad slopes looking down on the city and on the beautiful fiord. The splendid track is kept in order by the municipality and there are hotels and restaurants where hot coffee and all sorts of smoerebrod or sandwiches can be had when the keen air and healthy exercise have given the young folks appeties, When dusk comes on the scene be {comes still more picturesque, for the | sport. is continued by torchlight, gnd the dimly seen figures that glide on the snowy slopes, a torh of blazing pine in one hand. a steering pole in the other, look like great fire-fiiles as they flit rapidly from point to point. Spills of course, are frequent, but to land ski uppermost in a heap of pow dery snow is more ludicrous than dan- gerous, so such incidents seem only to add to the fun and laughter that fill the air. To the delight of the Norwegians, King Haakon and Queen Maud have already shown enthusiasm for the na- tional sport of ski-ing. while the lit | tie Prince Olaf has tightened his hold | on the affections of the mation hy t showing a keen desire to follow his parents' examplb, and by already dis playing skill in steering his own lit- tle toboggan.
