Teach Children to Swiri.

New York Commercial Advertiser
The necessity Of having children taught
TO swim cannot be toe strongly impressed
upon the minds Of mothers. There is sure
to be a time when the knowledge will be of
important service. A child may begin at
years of age. The motions are very easily
taught a swimming school is, of course,
the most convenient place in which to learn.
II, however, the child is taught in still
water with n rope fastened about the waist
and secured 10 a post or some object on
terra firma, there is no danger even in deep
water A lito-preserver gives u feeling Of
security to the timid beginner. There are
few German children who cannot swim.
Prussian soldiers have to learn swimming
us a part of their military training.

originality. The pictures were poor enough,
can be secn by looking back at old files

same usages hold in some establishments,
but complete change has been wrought in

Sanitary Influence Of Dress.

New York Cor. Washington Star.l
A vast amount of rubbisS is and always
will bs written, doubtless, in regard to the
healthful AMI malevolent influence of dress;
and the harsh judgments are largely based
on the absence Of fixed laws. Are any of
the laws fixed that govern our social life and
environment Is medical science fixed'
Were any two doctors ever known to agree !
Could not physicians long ago have gotten
rid of all corsets and semblance OF
corssts, or skirts also, and substituted
rousers, had their science taught them
al, and all alike, that these were positive
nindrances to the attainment of healthy
bodies by women' But the obvious fact is
that the average health Of women is rs good
or better than that of men, whose dress is
not criticised from a sanitary point Of view.
The thousands of women who now occupy
important positions, who work in shops and
factories, who support themselves and
families, all wear the ordinary dress Of
women and maintain standard Of health
superior to that Of male employees.

OF all the people who clean their teeth
regularly, it is certain that very large pro
portion only do 50 once day, and that gcn-
orally at the time Of their morning ablu-
tions A much smaller number also do so at
retiring, but the number of those who make
a practice Of regularly brushing their teeth
after eating, the most important time Of all,
is indeed very small.
1t is while eating that all the little cavities
or interstices between the teeth become the
repositories of fragments Of food or traces
of some acids in the food are left on the
teeth to cause incipient decay, and hasten it
where it has already commenced. 1t IS of
course desirable to brush the teeth on rising
in the morning and before retiring at night,
but it is Of infinitely more importance that
they should he thoroughly cleaned after
eating.

Our schools try to make all children os

find it difficult to learn, and yet the brain of
a child is much less capable of enduring such
work without injury than tho brain OF the
adult
Much Of this learning is that which will
