SWIMMING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.-At
last the British naval authorities have
thoroughly awakened to thtimportance
OF seamen knowing how to swim. An
order has recently been Issued that all
candidates for the naval service.
whether officers, men, boys, or ma
rines, must produce a certificate that
they are able to swim, or they will be
ineligible. Every year in Canada mum
bers OF lives are lost which might be
saved had the person struggling in the
water yer a r~udimentary knowledge
Of the n%atatarial art. Something might
and should be done to remedy this
state Of things. There are very few
towns, cities, or villages in the Do
minion where ample water facilities are
not at hand. and what would be simpler
than for swimming to be taught in the
public schools We are learning how
to walk well and long. but walking
may prolOng, but will seldom save life.
1t would not he necessary to carry out
the idea, that each public school should
a bath attached. Where there are
more schools than one in a town or
each could have the use Of the
bath at stated times on certain DAYS OF
he week. The expense would be com
paratiyely nothing. A little lumber
fencing and to provide some rough
accommodation, and suitable places
for the purpose could be made in al
most any part of the country where
there is a settlement.

Cox FOUND GUILTY OF THE MURDER
OF ALsToN RECOMMENDED TO M
Ph1soNMENT.-T jury in the Cox case
were out all night and came in at noon
to-day 70 be recharged in full at a
quarter to / this evening. They came
and announced that they had agreed
upon a verdict. 1t was detained to
correct a formality and was then read
as follows I'VE the jury find the
prisoner guilty and recommend that he
he punished by imprisonment for life"
Cox received the verdict with calm
ness and stoicism, having evidently
ncrved himself Ior the worst. His
wife, on hearing the words so fatal to
her hopes. sat for a moment trembling
and then rushed for the open window
near by for the purpose of throwing
herself to the ground below. She was
wild with grief. AS she rushed to the
window she was caught by Cox, who
held her fast. She threw her arms
around his neck and clung to him
wildly, e~Xclaiming. ''Oh my God oh
my poor darl.ng?" Her shouts were
h~eartrending. and the occupants of the
crowded room could not restrain their
tears o: pity. Cox used ali his power
to calm her, and finally sootlled her
grief until only her deep means broke
upon the solemn stiffness. Judge
Hilger sentenced Cox to ''be confined
in the Penitcntiary, or such other place
as the Governor may direct. at hard
labor, for and during his natural life"
General Gartrell gave notice that the
defence would make q motion for a
new trial. and praying a writ of super
sedeas. The execution Of sentence
was therefore stayed twenty DAYS.
This penalty is virtually the extreme

Care of Chickens.

Arri. and May, months in which the
greatest number Of hens are set. are
upon Us. As hens come of with their
broods, = suitable coop ought to he

coops Is now. before the hurry of the
hatchlng season, and when they will
serve a double purpose. The mode of
setting q hen will go far towards the
result. Build Your coop 3ox3o, with
posts - inches high. anil a double
roof. Finish one end with Stats. one
inch wide, and three inches apart: the
other finish with n slide door large
enough TO admit a hen. Now. with =
barrel, you are ready for work. Place
the barrel on il side, and sink ii four
inches in the ground. filling the same
with earth level with the ground ont-
side ON which form the nest with
chat and short hay-on which place
eggs, II tn - in April; l. in May or
June. Place the coop, constructed o.
above, with the Side door in front of
the barrel. In the coop she has n

she cannot escape, and in which she is
not nlolested in any way: Is prevented
from de- erting her nest, ald the mo-
mcnt she matches the rear door can he
closed, and coop and brood removed
10 their reating grounds. This mode
of setting secures most heat. the re-
suits are uniformly good. BY placing
Il Of Livingston's carholic nest eggs
with each sitting, the brood comes of
absolutely free from ice.
If your chicks are too early TO secure
grass before they are SIX weeks old,
green oats or winter rye should be
grown in frames, to be cut when two
inches high for them daily tn carry
them along till the fresh grass comes.
There are MANY cold. raw DAYS in these
two months. and while il is necessary
to give the chicks and hen an occa-
slOnal run, be sure they are not en-
posed on these cold. clustering DAYS;
and if they have been liberated in a
warm morning, and a change in the
weather has taken place, remember
many an exhibition has been won bv
just the proper care for just that one
day, when YOU have taken pains to
keep the coop with its back to the
