A TYnN9ranhical Crime.

If one book must be singled out and
doomed never to receive decent typo
graphical treatment, says R0sSiter
Johnson, it should have been any other,
rather than the Bible. | should like to
see what would be the effect of giving
it fair chance. | believe it would be
read if it were made readable. We
ought to have one edition Of it without
marginal references and without foot
notes-unless in the rare cases where
these are absolutely necessary. Where
the italiotsed words are necessary to
complete and idiomatic rendering they
should be printed in plain Roman;
where not thus necessary. they should
be dropped. Instead of verses we
should have paragraph, and all iigurea
or other indications of the verses ab0l-
ished. Conversation should be printed
il broken paragraphs, with quotation
marks, just as in a novel. Poetry
should be printed as poetry. Instead
of being crowded into one volume, the
book should be i'll four or five moderate
duodecimo volumes, with large type
and good paper, so that it could be at
once held without firing the arm and
read without straining the eyes. FL
nally. this book should have 8 good ana
lytical index. A oumbrous concordance
is not an index, and does not serve the
purpose of one. If presented in such q
form, the Bible might be enjoyed as lit
erature and perhaps better understood
! rs divine authority.

How to Learn to Swim.

Every boy and girl should learn to
swim. \ writer in the American Agri-
eulturist offers the following sugges-
tons, by obedience to which the art of
swimming may be readily acquired:
When was boy, l learned to swim
by means of Il swimming board. This
is the safest method possible. If corks
are used, they may slip from around the
breast down beneath the body, throw
ing the head below the surface, and
putting the Wearer III danger of drown
ing.
Some country boys get two 5ladders
and then tie them together with short
cord, and use these as supports. They
are the most dangerous things possible
fer boy to have.
The board is perfectly safe, and one
may learn to swim in Il very short time
by using one. 1t should be over four
feet long, over a foot wide, and two
inches thick, made Of soft white pine or
cedar.
To use it, boy wades into the water
up to his shoul ders, then, taking hold
of the end of the board, he pushes it
before him towards the b, nix. and not
into deeper water-springs forward with
his feet, and throws himself fat upon
the water.
This movement carries him along a
few feet. lie then draws up both his
Iegsat the same time, keeping the knees
as far apart as possible, and then strikes
out with both feet, not straight back
ward, but sideways, just as frog does
The stroke is made slowly, and is re-
peated again, drawing up the legs slow
ly and steadily. The board keeps the
head above water. When the leg stroke
has been learned, one hand is taken
from the board and the stroke learned,
or the chin may be rested on the board.
While the stroke is taken with both
hands.
This is very good plan, as it COM
pels the swimmer to keep his hands
under the water, which he should al
ways do, By-and by, the board may be
pushed ahead, and the young swimmer
may swim after it, always keeping it
within reach. When Il number of boys
90 to swim, they should always have
two or three of these boards with them
for use i'll case of any accident

soft dark eyes are a sham; its sober
Quaker garb is calculated to deceive;
It's tlmld movements are not to be trust

injured by one Of its kind, the dove be-
comes as cruel and outrageously heart

steady and cooling, so | did not care to

Of billing doves. 1t proved, however.
after all, that [ was not the cause OF

dense mass of leaves above the pair.

beak and wings. A fight ensued, wit
messed with calm interest by myself and
the male dove.
At first the combatants struggled
desperately together on the bOugh,
Iiercely beating each other with their
wings, and plucking out the feathers
from breast and neck, all the time ut
tering low, querulOuS notes differing

Pretty soon they fell off the bough, and
came whirling down upon the ground,
where they continued the battle with
