by forgetting what he already knows, so
as to learn over again in the right way.
The first thing to master is the breast

use, and always have used, and it seems
to be the natural way OF swimming. Imi-
tate frog as closely IA you can, and you
will need no better teacher. But frogs

his fingers are fastened together so as to
form a very fine paddle. Hold your
fingers close together when you strike out
30 as to initiate the webbed feet of duck.
and when you draw up your legs for n
fresh kick, be careful to strAighten ont
your feet, 80 as TO avoid the resistance of
the water against your insteps. In kick
ing out, strike the soles of yonr feet
against the water, az though you were
pushing yourself up in bed Spread your
legs far apart as you kick and then. when
they are fully extended, comes an impor-
tant point in swimming Do not Jerk
them up for another kick, az ignorant
swimmers do, but draw them tight
together, as though Your legs were pair
OF she&rs With which You wanted TO cut
the water. By thus closing your lega on
the water you will add almost as much to
your speed 81 by the first kick
Kick ont as your armsare being extended

at which to get yonr breath, as the water

BosToN, Aug. 13.-0n Thursday Inst a
remarkable surgical operation was per.
formed at the Massachusetts, General Hos
pital by DIR. M. IL. Richardson of this
city. About year ago John Mccarthy
swallowed set of artificial teeth, which
passed through the Gsophagus and lodged
in the cardiac orifice of the stomach.
Some months ago an attempt was made
by surgeon TO remove the obstruction
by the introduction Of nm instrument INTO
the Dsophagus through tho mouth, but to
no purpose. The passage of food to tho
stomach being almost wholly prevented,
the patient became very much emaciated
and very weak, and it was evident that
unless relief was soon had he must die
After having had the case under observa.
tion OF the hospital for short time DR.
Richardson determined upon opening the
stomach. He made transverse cut in
the left side of the abdomen, through
which the stomach was drawn and thon
opened when DIR. Richardson was able to
reach and remove tho teeth. The internal
opening was then closed with fine silk
and the stomach replaced, the external
cut being also closed with stitches. The
whole operation was completed in az
minutes. The patient is doing we'll and
his complete recovery is now considered
certain.

Mr.. MoRoberts, now editor of the
Leeds (England) Mercury, was at one
time q reporter in this city. He was the
most argumentative, and at the same time
the calrnest, man that ever struck the
town. He would stop work at fire to
argue. Mr.. MoRoberts was on his why
home early one morning, when an Ameri-
can citizen suddenly popped up with a
pistol levelled at his head and said
"Throw up yer hands !"
"Why 2" asked Mr.. McRoberts, undiH-
turbed.
"Throw them up"
''But what for ?"
tPut up your hands, insisted the foot
pad, shaking the pistol. "Will you do
what / tell you ?"
"That depends" said Mr.. McRoberts.
ST ye can show me any reason why l
should pit up ma hands, I'll no say but
what l we'll; but yer mere requaist wad
be no justification fur me to do sac absurd
thing. Moo why should you, COM

"Dash you !" cried the robber, 'if you
don't quit gabblin' and obey orders I'll
blow the top of your head OFF,
"Wha-a-tl Faith, man, ye must be ooi

said Mr.. McRoberts, soothingly, coolly
catching the pistol and wrestling it with 0
| quick twist out of the mans hand; "Come,
moo, an I'll show ye where they'll take

fecht, or ecod I'll shoot We. By-the-way

And so Mr.. Mcltoberts marched hit
man to the city prison and handed hin
over TO Captain Douglass.

How fondly he thinks Of that far away

Believes they wore true, and would trust

LoaANspoRT, IND, Aug. H.--There in
great excitement over the forcible abduc-
ton and probable murder of Miss Lula
Mabbet, an estimable girl who lived south
of this city.
Last week Amos Green, rejected
sutton, drove in q carriage 10 the home of
the young woman, seized her and placed
her in the vehicle aud carried her away.
Green returned TO his home the next
morning turned his horse loose and dis
appeared. Miss Mabbet has not been seen
since the night of the abduction. As
Green had threatened to take her life il is
believed she has been murdered.
An organized search for the missing
girl has been carried on in vain. A trail
has been found leading to Wild Cat
Creek, and some believe that the girls
body will be found in the stream
Thursday night mob Of men went To
the house of Green's mother, bent on
making her disclose the whereabouts Of
her son, If she knew. A rope was placed
around the old woman's neck and she was
threatened with instant death if she did
not reveal the hiding place of the alb
duetor, but threats of lynching were Of
no avail. The mother refused to oper
her mouth. The mystery of the affair has
been deepened by the disappearance Of
another Of Miss Mabbet's Ruitors, JOIN
YsrkiB.
On the night OF the abduction William
Walker made call on Miss Mabbett'i
sister, and he has since been arrested al
Green's accomplice. Mrs. Green hal
also been arrested.

Every year We hear and read a lot of
nonsense about poisonous mushrooms.
Experts are asked to formulate some gol-
den rule whereby edibles and poisons
can be readily differentiated from each
other. No one is foolish enough to sup
pose that such rule exists as q posi-
bility in any other department of the veg
etable kingdom. Then why, in the great
name of Ignorance do they suppose that
one can be found for fungi Poisonous
toadstools, by the way, are u very small
minority among the great mass of their
congeners. But any one who wishes to
make a headlong plunge into fun
gold lore had better be warned
That here "A little knowledge is danger
Gus thing" in good sooth, and that It is
advisable to "Drink deep or taste not the
Pierian spring" if one would become ex-
pert in fungology so far as IL relates to
what is esculent and what ia not. Peasants
on the continent are accustomed to teach
their children how to recognize unerr-
ingly the hllf-dozen or dozen species of
toadstool they are in the habit of largely
eating, and we suppose that such limited
popular knowledge might be easily at
tanned by English people. And indeed,
DR.. Badham and Mrs. Hussey, and their
living disciples tell us that the safe and
more commendable esoulent fungi of our
woods and fields may be individually re-
cognized and distinguished from all evil
sorts with as much ease as n cowslip may
be differentiated from nettle, without any
recourse 10 what is technical and scientific.
Vegetarians should look into the matter,
since we are also informed that fungi are
among the most nutritious of esculent
| plants.

Fortunately, there is no serious diff
Guilty in the way of obtaining liquor in
Maine and Kansas and Iowa and Rhode
Island and Georgia. Fortunately because
whenever the difficulty becomes very
serious other means of producing the
effects of liquor will be resorted to.
These means cannot be successfully pro-
hibited, even assuming that it is ever
possible to prohibit the getting of liquor
or anything else for which there is a
strong and general desire. And these
means are almost always attended with
far worse effects than the drinking of
liquor. The appetite for whisky is not
exclusive in its demands. If whisky had
never been made it would have developed
with some other poison as its object.
Every people has its intoxicants because
there is human frailty which in a
proportion Of men assumes the mastery.
If ono intoxicant is successfully prohibited
another will take its place.

The Actunl COS, 81 Mnent.

Chicago Tribune, August 9Th.
A large stockholder in the we'll known
Dalrymple farm in Dakota is quoted as
saying that the net cost of raising wheat
with his company is but about 81 cents
per bushel, after allowing 81 900 per year
for interest and ordinary wear and tear
of machinery. On these figures as basis
the American grower could afford to send
his wheat to England to be sold there at
very little more than cent per pound or
not much in excess of two-thirds the cur
rent quotation OIL the other side of the
Atlantic. Il would be idle to assert that
the small farmer could afford to raise
wheat to be sold at anything like these
figures, but the leeway in his favor is not
small one. IL may be said to be more
than equal to the advantage which the
low price of silver has been claimed to
give the Indian grower of wheat when
selling it in England in competition with
ours. An allowance of so per cent addi-
tional to the average farmer, rs
compared with the company which grows
400, 900 bushels in one CROP should GER
tainly be enough, and 20 much of margin
would permit the wheat buyer here to
offer the property in the foreign market
as cheaply as can be sold by the man
who imports from India. A great deal
has been said within the last few months
about the necessity of revising our esti-
mates of cost and selling values of farm
products. 1t has been urged that the
cost of production is so much reduced
and so much more of tools and other sup
plies can be bought with the dollar now
than it would purchase few years ago,
that it was idle to expect return to the
prices paid for grain and hog product
previous to the recent decline. Such
figures as the above not only tend to show
the force of the deduction, but indicate
that the men who framed it did not go
far enough in their estimates of the extent
| of the change now in progress.
