Peach Your Children to Swim.

Capt. Webb, the great swimmer,
writes, in CasseU's Family Magazine:
cit is the duty of every parent to insist
on his sons learning to swim. To teach
very young child to swim, the best
place is large puddle in the sand at
low tide. The child, like a puppy, will
begin by padding. If you throw cork
into the water, you will see the puppy
run in up to its depth and give short
bark; and the chances are, especially
if there is a grown up dog that can
swim to set him an example, than in
day or two he will take his plunge of
his own accord, and very proud he will
be of his first success; only here again,
don't overdo it. AS soon as the puppy
has been in, walk away, and call him,
and he will be more anxious to 60 into
the water another time. Now, treat
your child like your puppy. Entlce
him to go in, and if you can get some
older child who can swim to go in with
him all the better, but let the child do
lust as he likes. Get two children to
play at splashing one another; they
will enjoy the fun, and gradually get
ting excited, will venture in deeper and
deeper"

A Curious Iowa Lawsuit.

The Des Moines correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat tells this: Up
in Fayette, curious lawsuit is pend
ing. One Daniel Bittner yearned for
wife; and a certain widow, living near
MAYNARD, filled the measure of his
ideal, while her kreutzers charmed his
lean purse. To get access to her divine
presence was the rub. He applied to
Mrs. Kleiner, at Ollwein, to act as a
" mutual friend, )" and promised her and
her husband 800 worth of the best shoes
thew ever wore if she would introduce
him to the widow. Mrs. X. was will
ling; Mr. B. was willing; and, on a
sunny day in April, 1875, the trio met
by chance, and the enamored Teuton
was presented to the widow, and Mrs.
K. left him. But he failed to impress
the widow-in fact, didn't court worth
a cent. The widow was shy, and gave
no sign of matrimonial intent. Back to
Mrs. X. went Bittner, with complaint
that the widow was offish, and request
ed the mutual friend to work up the
case; which she did, laying Bittner's
desires before the widow with earnest
ness and zeal. The widow took the
matter under advisement, and suggest
ed that B. should come and work on
her farm, that she might become better
acquainted with him. This he refused,
and the match was off. Topay her ex-
penses home from the widows Mrs. X.
borrowed of Mr. B. $12, for which she
subsequently gave her note. A few
days ago, Mr.. B. sued her on the note,
and recovered judgment. Mrs. K. then
sued for services as mutual friend. b.
admits the boot -and-shoe contract, but
sets up that it was due only in the event
of his marrying the widow; while the
plaintiff proves by her whole family
that she was only to introduce him to
her. The trial was had, and able coun-
sci heard on both sides, when the Court
took the matter under advisement, to
poise the scales of justice.

Sketch Of His Life-His Small Begin
ming and Wonderful Successes.
From the New York Herald, April ILL.,
Mr.. Alexander T. Stewart, the great
merchant and millionaire, died at his
marble mansion, corner Fifth Avenue
Thirty-fourth Street, at 1 80 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Stewart s
complaint was inflammation of the bow
els, and he had been seriously ill for
nearly three weeks. For more than a
week his sickness had been considered
critical by his physicians, Drs. White
and Marcy. To avoid attracting trouble
some inquiry, however, the knowledge
of his condition was kept from the pub
lie during the progress of his fatal mall
ady. Not until Sunday was his COM
plant considered really dangerous. A
change for the better was looked for in
the afternoon, and it did not come. So
closely was the secret of his approach
ing dissolution guarded that the an
nouncement of his death was a general
surprise. 1t need scarcely be added
that it was, as well, shock to the COM
mercial world, through which his i'm
mense business interests had such ex-
tensive ramifcations.
SKETCH OF Hfs LIFE.
Alexander L. Stewart was born in the
county of Antrim, Ireland, at a home
stead distant few miles from Belfast,
December IL, 1898. His ancestry was
of Protestant, Saxon stock, which had

land, where his father was an extensive
land owner. Young Stewart was an in
FAINT only three days old when his fathoi'
died, and it is to his early training ard
the excellent example of his mother thai
he owed many of those prominent traits
of character which distinguished him
throughout his long career. Having
finished his preparatory studies at an
academical institution in Belfast, he en-
tered Trinity College, Dublin, with the
intention of fitting himself for the min
istry; but at the expiration of his second
term his grandfather died. This had
the effect of disarranging all his plans,
his withdrawal from college being the
immediate result of his grandfather's
death. He was not entirely without
means, however; but, as he afterward
expressed it, he felt "cribbed, cabined
and confined" in the old land, and so
he determined to emigrate from the OLD
World to the New. AT the time he was
about sixteen years of age, well edu
Gated, active and healthy.
HIS PATRIMONY AND HOW HE INVEST
ED IT.
When Mr.. Stewart reached his ma
jority he determined to return to Ire
interest of which he had been living in
New York. Before starting on his re-
! turn he spoke of the object of his con-
