When lke Michigan does succumb to frigid temperature and takes on a coating of Ice the surface Is pretty sure lo be so rough that yacht ing mmn.lt would afford Utile pleas ure. Then. loo. the likelihood of break ups caused by the force of the waves, would render the sport extremely peril- . , . The clauser of serious disaster In- creases the excitement, and In the cases of most yachtsmen adds to rather than ! detracts rrom the pleasure of the runs ' iHfore the wind. Time and again fatal t accidents have attended tceboatlng, : but these have had no more effect In ! tpjenchlug the eagerness for the boat j ,ng than have the killings In football affected the popularity of that game. ; For a plentttude of the best Iceboat ; Ing the sportsmen must turn their at tention to the small lakes of Illinois. Indiana. Michigan. Wisconsin and Min nesota. Here there are pleuty of suf nciently large stretches of water prac tically unaffected by winds, that can j always le depended upon to furnish Ice smooth enough for the most satisfac i tory yachting. Yachts are built upon the shores of many of these lakes, but . the boats are so light that they can easily be built at any polut and con- veyed without difficulty to any of the I favored resorts, for they are virtually ICE BOATING ON only skeleton frames, with sails, at tached to steel runners. In a way Ice yachting Is skating without the phys ical, effort required by that sport. Tbe boaters have only to sit In the little light seats of tbe skeleton affair and the winds, filling the sails, carry them scurrying across tbe Ice with tbe swift ness of a bird. At nearly every point where Ice yachting Is Indulged In at all there are races between the various boats every year, and rivalry between Ice yacbis gets to be quite as keen as It does be tween the boats which cut tbe water. Racing almost invariably Increases tbe danger of the sport, and during the sea son there are usually many catastro phes resulting In serious and fatal In juries to the boaters. While flying over tbe Ice driven by mlle-a-mlnute gales tbe racers are often dashed to gether and smashed Into splinters, or perhaps they strike a stick protruding above tbe surface of tbe Ice and meet with an equally serious mishap. But the genuine Ice sportsmen say that yachting without racing wonld be like a Thanksgiving dinner without the tur key, and that tbe racing is tbe only fea ture of tbe sport worthy of any consid eration whatever. A SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOL Two Race Leirsiag Lessons Side by tide. In the rugged country northeast of Cape Town Is one of tbe most remark able mission stations in tbe world. The fame of Lovedale has spread far in Africa, and the blacks who are anx ious to learn come to It from as far away as Lake Nyassa, a thousand miles. It Is said to be tbe largest Mis--ilon station In existence. Tbe school contains neasiy 1.000 students, who are instructed by a staff of forty teach ers. Tbe fees are little more than nominal, for the average charge ts only $25 a year, which includes board, lodging and education. There Is no lietter place to study ethnology of Af rica, for the students represent many tribes, some of them from as far north as Gallaland and near the Red Sea. In the main. Lovedale ts a school for colored young folks, bot the whites are also admitted, and it Is the only place In Africa where tbe two races study skle by side. Tbree lines of In struction are given to tbe natives re ligious, educational and Industrial. Teachers are trained for tbe mission- ; a r y Bcnools. preachers are prepared for t he native congregations and a gener- -tl education, literary and technical. is given to all who want It. Among tbe trades that are taught are carpentry, wagon-making, black smlthlng. printing, bookbinding, teleg raphy and others. The girls are tangbt to sew, to wash and Iron and to keep house. While tbe aim of the In stitution la to civilize through Christ ianity, the Instruction is entirely non sectarian and tbe Bible Is the only re ligious book that Is read and taught. Tbe books that are printed and bound at Lovedale are excellent speci mens of tbe bookmaklng art. The technical Instruction la of the most thorough character. Visitors from Eu rope hate often said that nothing has MHtouiHhc-d them more in Africa than the excellence of the Lovedale work- ! HUOP"- '' Markbam. who t ' "llj lllf IJ 1 1 11 Willi fKl ui. a- lion In England, has recently written that not a few technical Institutions of her own country are entirely out ttripped by this remote establishment in the heart of British Kaffrarla. There Is no doubt of tbe vast good that this Institution is doing. Tbe hundreds of students who leave It every year, after enjoying Its advant ages for from four to six years, are nattered among the millions of South Africa, and even among the tribes liv ing far north of tbe Zambesi. They are becoming tbe educators of their people. They are teaching their tribes men the useful trades they baveacqulr ed. Tney carry to many barbarous peoples proofs of the advantages of civilization that are more convincing I than any testimony the whites can give. When there are more I.ovedales scattered through the vast Held of mis sions, the results of missionary effort will be far more encouraging than they are now. QUEER VERDICT IN COLORADO.

The evi dence had seemed conclusive at the time of his arrest, but It developed, later on. that the whole thing was the put-up Job of a personal enemy, and the night before the trial the chief wit ness got scared and skipped out. The weakness of the case was unknown to the district attorney, however, and he proceeded . to Impauel a Jury, which was composed entirely of tough and Il literate miners, none of whom had ever served In that caiaclty before. After hearing one or two minor witnesses the attoruey sawhow the land lay and .1 ban doned tbe prosecution, birt as a mere formality the Judge told the Jury to re tire to their room and render a verdict. He supposed, of course, that they would be gone only loug enough to re dnce It to writing and when an hour had elapsed without hearing from them he sent a bailiff to Investigate. INLAND LAKES.

We were, of course, worried about her and employ ed the best physicians to attend her. They studied her case and although they did everything possible, gave her no relief which was permanent. The late Dr. Angle had first called my at tention to Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for Pale leople, and my wife had heard they were a tine tonic, so we decided to try them for my daughter. We did so and inside of eight weeks the pri mary cause of her trouble was remov ed and she showed a decided gain in health, strength and (lash.
