Take Courage.

Be brave, O heart, and lear not earthly shame,
Crinee not to men, but make thyseli name.
Take up thy cross, and walk erect through life,
F ght for the truth, however fierce the striie.
Yield to no folly, crush Thy tempting sin,
And heel no murmur OF complaint within.
Bend meeklv down to sorrows chastening rod
And chate not at the wise DEGREES OF God.
slay thy most selfish and rresumptuous will;
Whateer thy burden, bear it, and be strll.
Lift thy sad, doubling eyes to God above,
Know that his name and nature both are
love-.
Love is the guardian of the gate of heaven,
Through love alone thy name shall be for
given.
But ii thou hatcst, even in thought,
Apparent virtues viii avail thee nausht.
Love God, thy maker; love thy fellow
Love without stint; thou shalt not love in
vain.
Rouse thee, heartl and do thy work in
faith;
Love is the conqueror over sin and death,
And when thou art free to seek the native
Thou shalt find love the light OF paradise.

Learning TO Swim.

The greatest difficulty TO the
beginner is to learn to keep the proper
position of the body after attaining IL.
This difficulty can only be overcome by
using the proper stroke after having
placed the body in the correct position.
In the use of the arms, the only
direction that can be given is to re-
member that, when the arms are
thrust forward at the beginning of the
stroke, such positions of the elbows
and hands should be taken as will
make the least resistance TO the water.
TO accomplish this, the hands should
be placed palm to palm, and the elbows
made to come quite close together,
starting them from under the chest.
In making the effective part of the
stroke, our object is TO get a forward
motion only. The arms and hands
should be so placed as TO produce the
greatest resistance upon the water.
To accomplish this, the palms of the
hands should be thrown outward, and
the plane of the direction of the stroke
of the arms made parallel to the sur
face of the water.
The most important and the most
often defective point in swimming is
the mode of using the legs. 1t would
be well for a beginner to observe the
swimming of frog, for undoubtedly
the same method of using the legs
should be adopted by man as is display
ed in the model swinbning of that am
phibian.
In analyzing the stroke Of the frog,
we notice that there is no vertical
motion; the whole direction of the
force is in "a plane exactly horizontal
and is accomplished by virtually open
ing and closing the space between the
knees offering the sole of the foot as
resistance while kicking, and placing
the feet in position of least resistance
while recovering.
In accomplishing the first of these
conditions-the opening and the clos
ing of the space between the knees
the knees should be thrown out, and
the contraction of the legs made slow
ly, in order to cause as little resistance
as possible to the headway already
attained.
It will be found that, if we alternate
the stroke of the arms and legs by
giving propulsion with one while re-
covering with the other, more con-
slant buoyancy will be attained, and.
for long swims, it will be found far less
fatiguing.-PopuIdr Science Monthly.

Where dull water grasses quiyer,
From bark come sounds of sorrow,
Never ccasing with The morrow
Mournful bark upon the river.
Cypress, rosemary and rue,
Branches from the somber yew,
On the deck are wiIhered lying
While the night breeze sadly sighing,

Darkness cometh ali too soon,
Black the clouds and black the river,
Black the bark and oh, the shiver

4 NEW STAGE ROUTE.
Two Days Time Saved to All Points.
Via ShOShOnP.

The new stage route from Shoshone
to Boise has been thoroughly stocked
and equipped. The teams are all fine
bred American horses, matched teams,
and coaches first class. The road is
in good order, and the stages will, it
is expected, make seven miles an
hour, or the 40 miles between the
railroad and Boise in "a hours.
Regular coaches have been running
the past three days on this line to get
everything working we'll and the con-
nections all regulated Tie Boise
and kelton passenger coaches are
hauled off and only mail jerky is
run over that road to supply the mail
to the points on the old road.
There being no layover hence to
Boise City the mail will reach that
point and Portland in two days less
time than heretofore, and will via
Shoshone also reach all points east
and south in two days less time than
heretofore via Blackfoot.

THE DEER CREEK SPRINGS.
proposed Improvements to Make Them
4 FavOrite Resort.

{. +. Bolton, having secured the
hot mineral springs, on Deer Creek.
was in town yesterday, and purchased
lumber to erect buildings. The first
loads lcft last night, and the spring
houses will soon be under way.
The bathhouse building will be 20
x4o feet and two feet high. The first
floor will be divided into a reception
room, sitting room, and bathrooms
Each bathroom will be l4x44 feet.
and the baths five feet deep. There
will be hot and cold water led through
wooden pipes into each room, and the
furniture and carpets will be expen
sive and first-class.
A second building will be for a
swimming bath. 1t will be 2Ox4O
tcet and two stories. On the first
floor will be a wide hallway, and on
either side reception room and three
private plunge baths for gentlemen,
and as many for ladies'. \ rear build
ing adjoining will contain plunge
bath IA feet square and six feet deep,
and platform all around it with steps
and dressing on both sides and
ends. Ladies will have every accom-
mediation in dressing and toilet rooms.
a broad flight of stairs will lead to
the second floor, where there will be
four large bedrooms with double beds.
and over the rear halt single rooms
and beds. \ fine saloon will be
opened 1890 feet, under the super
vision of one Of Hailey's popular sa-
loon men. Every arrangement will
be made to accommodate transient
and regular patrons and permanent
guests desiring to remain at the
springs for treatment. \ fine table
will be kept and meals to order. The
buildings are at the head of the fiat at
the mouth of Deer Creek, and only IA
short drive from Haley. The grounds
will be improved and planted with Or
trees and shrubberv, and
thoroughly fitted for an aIl-year re-
sort. MIR. Bolton will also build a
dwelling-house Of five rooms for his
family near by.
A careful survey has proved that
the mineral water can be brought
through air-tight, covered boxes into
the lighthouses without losing heat
a distance of $50 feet. The numc
will come over the peak of the main
building, and the water be pipcd into
the bathrooms. This will afford pro-
lection against fire, and give good
pressure for filing the baths rapidly.
Pipes will carry off the waste.
The Bolton Hot Mineral Springs
will evidently soon become iavorite
resort.

Mining stocks and mines are very
low in the East, and unfavorably

this year and reNt, have a larger pop

During the past few days Phlla-

mostly mining. I. L. Cloh>cy and

Colonel Green is here, as big a
champion of Wood River as ever. and
will no doubt make things move soon
in some part of that section. He
will leave for Haley on the 2lst of
March.
Johnnie Bowie has been here some
time, and, rumor has it, he vii! get
married before going back. Some OF
us, however. think him too slv for
that. He will leave for HALEY on the
LIST OF March, but will probably re-
turn here before Colonel Green leaves.
COLONEL Miller, of kctchum, is 90

his wife and two charming nicces,
who visited Philadelphia recently.
In New York the indomitabIe Ma
jor Fulton is endeavoring to float
some Wood River properties. Cap
tain Miller, Of Miller & Lush, princi-
pal owners of the Minnie Moore, has
been at the Hoffman House all winter;
MAJOR Cavanah spent few weeks at

to Philadelphia and remained few
days, then went on to Washington
and South. Colonel Shaughnessy, Of
Salt Lake, and |. |. Lewis, of
