YACHTING ON THE ICE.
Great Lakes Are Too Rous -r-ilona
for Tla:a Sport.
Iveboating is one of the most excit
ing aud exhilarating sports known and
its liopulamy anil the enthusiasm of
its uevoiees are eailly understood even
oy those who have never become In
oculated with the eraze for these spins
aver the Ire. rue uncertain"
and weather, heavy waves and Ice al
most invariably rough, make Iceboatlug
on the great lakes nearly out of the
question. 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

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

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.

said a lawyer frout Denver, who was

back In 'S3. The Judiciary of the dis
trict bad Just been organized, and one
of the first cases called In court was
that of a fellow who was accused of
robbing some sluice boxes. 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.

Taa Story Is Told by a Father Who Is
firateful for Ufa Daughter's
i i. .. . Beoovery.
No. 91 Lincoln avenue. Cortland, N.
Y., was onoe a bouse of sorrow and
sadness. The daughter of Georne
Loncks, the pride of the household,
seemed going into a deoliue as she
reached her early womanhood aud her
condition caused the greatest anxiety
in the family. The happy ending of
the matter caused considerable excite-
ment in the neighborhood aud, when
questioned by a rejiorter. Mr. Loncks
made the following statement:
"About two years ago my daughter.
who was theu in her 16th year, was in
bnVl health. - 8he wss pale and thin.
without strength or vitality, in fact her
condition was that which is generally
called all run down. 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.
"A great many people will buy a
rnedicino and take a few deses. Then
if they are not cured they throw it
aside as no good, or take it spasmodic
ally. We believe in a tair trial in
atrict accordance with directions and
our faithfulness was rewarded for she
was greatly benefited by them. Her
color came to her cheeks and she con
tinued to gain in weight and strength.
We have told a great many people
about them and have been glad to do
no."
