WRONGHEADS.

Among the most unpleasant people
one is compelled to rub shoulders with
on life's highway, are the class whose
minds take hold Of everything, as it were
the wrong end foremost. They are usu-
ally as obstinate as perverse; and the
false inferences they draw from misap-
pretended premises, they adhere to with
as much tenacity as if they were gospel
truths. One knows not how to deal with
such incorrigibles. Good-humored rally
ing they are as likely as not to mistake
for studied insult; endeavors to instruct
and convence, for airs of superiority; and
whatever one may do or say with the
view of benetitting them, for insidious at
tempts to get on their blind side. Their
field of moral vision is field with a mist
of suspicion which distorts everything,
and it is vain to reason with them-for
you can no more do away with their alb
surd impressions than you can wipe out
craven letter with a sponge. Error, we
suppose, is to them what truth is to right
headed men and women, and they cling
10 1t because they believe in it. They
are objects of commiseration; yet, being
unabatable nuisances, it is prudent to
give them wide berth. IL is really
sad thing to be predisposed by natnre to
misconceive and mlsconstrue; but it is
equally unpleasant to be misunderstood
and misconstrued. Therefore make it a
rule to have as little as possible to do
with inveterate wrorgheads.

HOW GIRLS STRIKE OUT"

FROM tut OTapniC'
Women are not graceful when clad in
other old women's gowns and learning to
swim. They lack repose and dignity
when they try to strike out" in the wa
ter or on a table. Their action is too alb
rupt and spasmodic. They kick out with
their legs too long after they strike out
with their arms. Then they kick
straight behind like COW. That won t
impel the body ahead at all. 1t only re-
mains in statu quo, or else propels the
back awkwardly up out of the water and
the head under it. This makes a girl
clad in old woman's gown look very ri
diculous. Then they are jealous of the
only man in the party dressed in one
pair of the old woman's old mans pan
falcons, who can go forth in deep water
and swim. They are forever wanting
him to come back and show them "how
to kick" They think that if they could
only learn to kick properly in the water,
they'd swim right away. They will not
realize that girls must te1ch their own
limbs to do their own kicking in the
water-or out. 1t is pleasant for man
to attend a lot of girls in the water who
are good dancers but not good swimers.
It's pleasant to have the tables turned
once in while, and be able to contem>
plate others awkwardness. l never
could dance well. They say it's because
don't put my mind in my legs. But l
can swim. can get my mind in my
legs in the water. l suppose it floats
down there. But those girls-to see
them kick to no purpose, except to drive
their heads under.
