NallkeGll.

OF all the cotton produced in China,
the most remarkable, as well as the
most beautiful, is that used in the fab
rication of the calico known i'll Europe
under the name of nankin or nankeeD.
1t has been long matter OF debate
whether the texture called nankeen was
manufactured from raw material, hav-
ing, previous to any manipulation, the
yellowish hue which distinguishes it, or
whether it owed its peculiar shade to
light dye. .
M. Van Braam, who was at the head
of the commercial mission sent out by
Holland to Pekin in 1894, had been in
structed by the European merchants to
request that the nankeen destined for
their different markets might for the
future be dyed deeper color than they
had been for some time past; and he
had an opportunity during his stay of
ascertaining that the color Of these text
ures was natural to the raw material,
and not subject to fade.
Sir George Staunton, one Of Lord Ma
cartney's embassy, found, on going
through the province of Kiangnan, that
the cotton it produces is naturally Of the
yellow color, which it retains after spin
ming and weaving. He also says that
when the nankin cotton is transplanted
to another province it degenerates and

Some Fcats In Swimming.

Somewhat over 40 years ago a seaman
belonging to her Majesty's ship Orestes
threw himself overheard as means OF
escaping punishment for some oilense.
He was picked up by fishing boat seven
hours aicrward off the coast of Spain,
and stated that he had been swimming
toward the land all the time. About the
same period two men swan up the river
Merscy from Liverpool to Rmcorn.
They accomplished the distance i'll some
thing less than four hours. Passing over
q long interval, during which many swims
we're recorded OF few hours duration,
we come to the more recent exploits OF
Capt Webb, certainly the most remark
able swimmer Of whom we have authen-
tic record After some notable achieve
ments in the Irish sea, he undertook the
astonishing feat of swimming across the
whole breadth of the English channel,
despite its very rough sea. On the first
attempt he could only reach part of the
way, and was for safety brought back
by an attendant steamer. His second
attempt ip 1878 was quite successful; he
swan for Nearly % hours continuously,
from Dover to the French coast near Cal
ais; he was supplied occasionally with
refreshments by persons near Mt hand,
but he never touched boat or ground
during this prolonged interval. In the
same year n young damsel, Miss Agnes
Beckwith, daughter OF Beckwith, the
teacher Of swimming, gave clear proof
that the weaker sex is strong enough to
! achieve remarkable results in this art;
she swan down the Thames from London
bridge to Greenwich, amid the crowded
shipping of that part OF the river. In 1
spirit Of emulation, Emily Parker
daughter of another professional swim
mer, slightly exceeded Agnes BecEwith'
distance by swimming from Londo
bridge 10 Blackwall. CaGl, motht
swimming master, accomplished the dii
tance from Dover to Ramsgate; he Wa
six hours and half doing the feat, br
he was more distressed with the heat {
tho sun beating down upon his head an
the sunshine glaring into his eyes thal
with fatigue. Quite recently the Londol
public have been astopished by proofs
the great length of time that persons
can remain floating with or without
swimming. At the Westminster aqua
rum is a large tank constructed for the
temporary reception Of live whale. In
this tank Agnes Beckwith remained
afoat for 80 hours without touching
ground or sides of the tank, singing a
little and occasionally reading news
poper 10 pass away the dreary monotony,
and taking refreshments handed to her,
The water had strong infusion of salt
thrown in to increase its buoyancy. Since
that time Capt Webb has eclipsed every
thing else of the kind known. In the re
cent month of May he remained in tn
whale tank no less than 60 hours COT
tinuously, floating all the time, and neve
touching sides or bottom. m.-Ffom Chan

Maginn's Hum0r.

William Maginn met Blackwood in
this amusing way. He had already con-
tributed to the magazine, but was un-
known to the editor. Wishing to have
ON interview with Blackwood, Maginn
set out for Edinburgh from Cork, where
he arrived on Sunday evening, and
earley Monday morning presented him
self in the famous shop in Princes street.
1t will be recalled that the papers con.
tributed by Maginn were spicy and
stinging, and that Blackwood had re-
ceiyed several furious letters from Ire
land demanding the name Of the author
of such obnoxious articles, fact which
Maginn had heard of. Blackwood now
mistook Maginn, who was a thorough
Irishman in appearance, for one Of his
angry correspondents come to seek
reckoning, so the following colloquy
took place
"You are Mr.. Blackwood, Ipresume''

"I have rather an unpleasant business

President was still at dinner, but it was
not long before the doors were thrown

in high glee. Seating himself near the
fire, his friends formed group about
him. was absorbed for some minutes
III scanning the face and mein OF this re-
markablo man. In person he was tail,
slim and straight as an arrow. His head
was long, but narrow, and covered with
thick gray hair that stood erect, as though
impregnated with his defiant spirit; his
brow was deeply furowed, and his eye,
even in his present mood, was one "to
threaten and command" His nose was
prominent, and indicated force. His
mouth displayed frmness, The whole
conveyed an impression OF energy and
daring. My gaze was fixed upon HIM,

Rats are a great pest in every city and

get rid of them, and any method that
