A1- ready, snow-shoeing, sleigh-driving and coasting have been much in evi- dence in the town. Within the near future skating will be in rage on the new open-air rink which is being constructed and managed by one of the pnterprising young men of the town. The Glenholm Skating Rink, as it is called, is situated on Dr. Pogue's property, just east of his residence, on Kent-st west. It is being run on the same principle as the large open air rinks in the city of Toronto. A waitingrcom has been provided and comfortably fitted up for both ladies and gentlemen. and already a good foundation has been laid for the ice, which will have an area of ten thou- sand square feet.

Two days later, when Tootleboom got home from the city, Buldrum the builder, had been, jerked out the old relic, and bricked up the aperture. A fine two-decker portable range that the landlord had taken from his own recidence, was reposing in the kitchen. ' “It’s in perfect order,” said Amelia. ‘ “Only came out of the other house this . morning. Mr. Buldrum is coming tO‘ ; morrow to fix it." Archibald smiled. “We won’t wait for Buldrum, Mrs. : Tootleboom,” he said pleasantly. ' “These builder fellows don’t properly ' understand stoves.

Among the finds are a stiletto, in a 800d state of preservation, an ointment box- of very fine wire, set in a metal cas- ing, and a very curious form of SPOKG' shave and scabbard, with the sword The diver brought up two masses of metal, the larger 01 which weighed about 80 lbs, and was rectangular in shape, with a sunk handle. The other was of the same metal, but circular in shape. With 3 finely bevelled hand grip all around the inside. The anxious question arose naturally: “Are these masses of silver or galena?

The rink will be open to the pub- lic every evening at the usual skating hours and every afternoon at the usâ€" ual skating hours. The advantages of skating in the open air are so evident to every one that this rink ought to more a boon to the lovers of skating in the town. Open-air rinks elsewhere have gained great popularity amongst all those who desire to participate in the heal- thy, vigorous exercise of out-of.door skating.

Hospital Wants More Property Mr. J. D. Flavelle appeared before the Council last evening in reference to the dedication by the town to the Board of Governors of the Ross Meâ€" morial Hospital that- portion of the road leading from the West side of Henry-st. to the boundary. When Mr. Jas. Ross last visited Lindsay he expressed a desire to secure more w“-.- "0-...-- r r" )7 i 1 best he had nearly every good quality that a bowler of his style could pose 5053. His delivery was the easiest land most natural that can be recalled -â€"it seemed part of himselfâ€"and he had in combination with remarkable spin a good variety of pace. No one ever bowled a better “yorker." In addition to his other gifts he had a more telling leg-break than any bowl- er of his speed. Looking back upon his career in England as a whole, he must be placed with . Spofford and Charles Turner. Many famous bats- men have declared that they never met a bowler who could be more diffi- cult on a perfect wicket, his resources being so varied. For the great team of 1882 he took 138 wickets, and 1884 132 wickets. f3; Taro SPEED GA'U GI] Lord Goodfellowâ€"Now, driver, get 111 a fine turn of speed for a few miles. .

COMFORTING The other Sunday a very small ho: was sent to church with his grown-u] sister, and on his return, his father asked him: “Well, Bobby, what was the text?” The little chap thought for a mo- land for the ur ose of a. tennis court ‘ ment, then said: “Oh, it was something p p ‘ like: ‘Don't be scared, you’ll get back The Board of Governors took action in the matter and secured several 101:8 adjoining, which would 'be effect- ed! They were willing to buy the lots rather than prejudice the Council Comforter will gouge your quilts.’ " . The sister didn’t remember the text, so the father called upon the clergy-I man to be enlightened, and discovered .that the text was: “Fear not. for the ter will be finally disposed of short- l “Stand aside!" he said shortly. “I'll do it myself." With a preliminary whirl of his arms to get his muscles in trim, he set his teeth and laid a pair of grimy hands on top of the stove. "Perhaps it would be better to lift ,it bodily into position?" Amelia venâ€"l turcd struck with a bright idea. “Perhaps it would!" murmured her husband sweetly. "Possibly it would be better to hang it up in the hall with ribbons and grow ferns in it. or put it on the what-not as a knick-knack. If you want to know what’sgoing to be done with this stove, you watch me." Amelia was quite willing to do that. She looked over her shoulder with raised brows as Tootleboom began to pull the top end over. It worked nice- ly until he got hold of that corner where the landlord's chef had spilt the melted nutter. Then it suddenly whisked out of his hand with a whirr and came down smack, breaking one of the ornamental feet off short. “Just what I expected!" said Mrs. Tootleboom. Her husband looked up with a fero- cious leer. . Archibald wasn’t taking any more chances. He removed every bit of loose metal on the stove took off the oven door, and pulled out the ash-tray. After an hour's strenuous labor it looked as though things would shape nicely in spite of the little mistakes. “The thing is practically in position now,” he said pleasantly. “It only wants moving back a foot. I'll just get you all to give me a hand for a minute, and then I can manage." “Back, now,” said Archibald softly. “A little more. That's better. Get it square, and when I say the word let it down gently. Now!” It went down soft and sudden, and simultaneously with its descent came a yell from the head of the house. "Ooh! Hereâ€"7m! Come here, some of you, and lift the blamed thing off my foot!" When they had done so, he subsided into the cook’s armchair, and had to be brought round with brandy. The stove-pipe got into position at ‘mldnight when the rest of the famiyl had retired. Buldrum had a look at it I next morning. It was a bit snaky in appearance ,but Tootleboom said he liked it that way, it gave the smoke an artistic curl. The builder didn’t mind. "There's nothing like a portable Stove," he said. Archibald hopes there isn't. If there should be, it’s his devout wish that the article may never come his way . 3 SHOULD Doc-mas SHAVE? :A Question Which Has been Discusses for 300 Years The question, which has been dis cussed for some three hundred years. as to whether the doctor, and more es: pecially the surgeon, should sacrifice that playground of microbesâ€"his beardâ€"is once more to the fore, esp..- cially in France, says The Hospital. It is more than probable that every- one fnterested will act according to his own particular fancy in this mat- gter, and it will probably be a long time before our Gallic confreres will be forced to sacrifice the glories of their facial decorations on the altar of hygiene. Those who have embark- ed upon the present crusade attack the problem from a somewhat differ- ent standpoint, and although the bac- teriology of the board has not as yet been the object of very profound study, their ideas are not unreason- able. Still. without being as radical as they would like, is it not possible that as sanctity of the laws of hygiene can respected by the use of ordinary measures of cleanliness, or. at most; ,_I.n antiseptic heard-bath! Balloon Caught by the Wind Falls lnto the Thames Captain Disney and Lieutenant H. M. Maitland, of the Essex Regiment. England, had a narrow escape from drowning at the end of a balloon voy- age. They ascended from Warley Bar- racks at three o'clock, and rose rapid- ‘ly. At an altitude of 8,000 feet thel Archibald, crouching down, “you lift a ; clouds blotted out all view of the land, ; and the wind was blowing at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The occu- pants knew that by the direction in which the balloon was travelling the sea would soon be reached. The valve was opened, and the balloon descended rapidly until the Thames was in sight. It was then found to he too late to stay her progress, and a sea-anchor was thrown out. This caught in the basket, which touched water, and the rope was cut. The incident occurred in mid-Channel, between Southend and the Kentlsh side, and provided much excitement for those on shore. Captain Disney and Lieutenant Mait- luud managed to extricate themselves from the basket, and were preparing to swim ashore, when a boat from a barge arrived andpfcked them up. WlNTERlNG FARM HORSES How to Keep Idle Horses Cheaply In the Winter There“ are three or four methods of wintering farm horses. Some turn out the idle horse and let them “rustle: some winter them in protected yards and others winter in the stable Horses that will not be required to work from freeze-up in the fall till seeding begins in spring can be win tered as well outside as in, and more cheaply. If given a protected yard into which a liberal supply of cat straw has been blown, they will come through the winter in, as good shape or better than horses that have been closely confined and fed liberally on grain. An idle horse. given plenty of good straw, some prairie hay. a few oat sheaves and water can be wintered in the yard at a minimum cost in la. bar and feed. Nature provides a heavy coat of hair, so the horse does not suffer any from the cold. Horses thus wintered should have all the straw and rough fodder they will eat. Oat is the best straw. Corn stalks are an excellent feed for horses thus wintered. With oat straw and some hay no grain is required. Six weeks before spring work opens, light grain feeding should begin. Colts may be wintered in the same way, but it is preferable to stable the weanling the first winter. Two colts in a box stall are company for each other, and if fed the usual rough fod- der ration, and what oats they will clean up, do better than foals that rustle in the yardâ€"Farmers Advo cafe- .. - WEIEN A MAN IS “DOWN" Difficulties Which Boset the Path or an Elf-Convict How difficult it is for an ex-convlct to get honest employment was illus- trated at Marylebono Police Court. when a man who had served a term of imprisonment applied to Mr. Paul Tay- lor for assistance. The applicant has an invalid wife and five children under fifteen years of age, tour of whom are in a Roman Catholic home. He had tried to get work. but had failed. In the meantime, the applicant added, he and his wife had pawned almost every- thing they possessed, with the result that they had a load of pawntlckets and he had nothing staring him in the face but to plunge into crime again. Mr. Paul Taylor referred him to Mr. Alfred Kirby, the missionary, to see what could be done for him, adding that he preferred to assist old con- victs rather than young ones often had less chance in life: as they K THE ONE AND ONLY She had a figure like twenty ele phants in one And a v . olce mand the British Army. at to com “William," she shouted, "take you: charged with “And who is that, she roared, town“: no out one fur-u “,mm‘" MWMIOI‘M” l ‘reasurer‘s Sale of m the County of Victoria, for arrears be held In the Court House, Lindsay of Taxes, to I On Februa 7th, 1911, at 11 o’clock Tue...1 3- M. ay' VILLAGE OF 130133-331,“ A.
