Thinrs A Swimmer Should Know.

You should by all means learn to
swim on your back and to float. You
can swim on your back, using your
arms like oars, and keeping your feet
still, or drawing your feet up under
you and kicking out, or using both.
The advantage of using the legs or the
arms alone is that you get rest for
the unemployed limbs. Some persons
never learn to float, and / am inclined
TO think that it is impossible for some
persons to do so. If you find your feet
have tendency to sink, spread them
wide apart, and extend your arms for
ward along the water over your head.
That will bring the center of balance
further forward, and tend to keep your
feet up. III your feet float easily, and
your head does not, put your arms
close to your sides, and keep your feet
together. Most people who have diff
Guilty in floating find the trouble with
their feet. An occasional gentle pad
die with them will keep them afloat if
they show tendency to 60 down.
"As one of the objects Of swimming
il to enable man TO preserve his life
in the water. you should by all means
learn to undress while swimming. 1t
is the most difficult thing to do in the
water, but every good swimmer can
accomplish it with practice. First
learn to swim, either on your back or
on your breast, with one hand and one
foot. the left foot and right hand, or
right foot and left hand. Then put on

A School of Fish.

James Smith, of Clark's Harbor, n.
s., caught fish and found in its stomach
q mouse, recently swallowed.
A Milwaukee man caught black
bass weighing three pounds in Okau-
chez Lake, Wisconsin. He cut open
the bass from the gills downward and
then held it in the water moment.
The split" fish sprang away from its
captor, and swan off, disappearing be-
meath the surface of the water.
Capt. Levi Shields, of Corydon, Ind,
has carp pond near his house. When
he wants to feed the fish he goes to the
pond and rings small bell. Instantly
the fish from all parts of the pond start
for the feeding place and gather in
great numbers near the shore, where
they fight for food as it is thrown to
them.
Eckstrom, the Rev. NJ. Moller, and
other writer's assert that the flesh of a
pike which has been struck by bird
will heal with the talons of the bird in
its back, while the bird becomes con-
verted into a skeleton which is carried
about by the pike. One skeleton
which had long been exhibited by q
pike in Lake Wetter had acquired a
greenish tinge, and was regarded by
the fisherman as harbinger of mis-
fortune. Another skeleton carried by
by pike in Lake Frysdale, was known
to the fishermen as a watersprite, and
they fed from it in fear. The pike
was finally killed, and the watersprite
proved to be the skeleton of a sea
eagle.
A porpoise was shot by sailor on
board vessel just outside Galveston
Harbor. The vessel was stopped and
the porpoise was secured by a stout
moose around its tail and left hanging
over the ships side, head down in the
water. Within few moments a huge
shark made rush for the porpoise and
bit it in two, although several shots
were fired. In short time the shark
made rush for the remainder and bit
it just above the tail which was left
hanging. Two pistol balls were fired
into its head at very short range, but
it swan away and appeared to be un-
hurt

The scarcity OF whalebone, its high
price, aud q demand for an AZ ticle IN
its stead, led Mr.. T.. X. Warren to in
vent "Featherbone, a substitute pre-
pared from the quilts of geese and
turkeys. The factory is located at
Three Oaks, Mich, and, in the short
space of two years, the enterprise has
grown to q large industry. As the dis
covery brought to existence new sub
stance, it became necessary TO invent
machinery required In its manufacture.
These operations have passed the stage
OF experimental existence, and "F Feather
bone" is now an article of commercial
value. The quilts of turkeys and geese
only are used. The first process strips
the plumage from the quilts. A set of
revolving knives then divides the quilts
in halves. Rapidly revolving sand-pa-
per rollers then remove the pith. The
quilts are then passed to an ingeniously
constructed system of interlocking
knives, which reduces them to fiber.
These fibers are then fed to machine
which twists them into a fine cord
wrapped with thread. Another ma
chine wraps four OF these cords with
tHIthu anu lOTIlS tuelu lQtO IdU JuDe.
A sewing machine places row of stitch
es between each cord, which gives the
tape increased strength and adds to its
elasticity, and the whole is then passed
between two large rollers, which gives
it uniform thickness, and makes it
ready for market. The article is said
to be unbreakable, and, if bent double,
will retain its strength and elasticity.
In dress-making it possesses the adj
vantage over whalebone of being light
er, cheaper, more durable. and needs no
castings, as it is sewed tc the goods. 1t
is superseding whalebone in the manu-
featuring of whips, and a large whip
factory is the outgrowth of Mr.. War
ren's discovery. The plumage of the
feathers is used for making very good
quality of mattresses, and the pith, be-
ing shown by analysis to be rich in nj
trogen, is used as a fertilizer. About
800 jobbing houses handle their goods,
and the factory gives employment to
$50 persons, and consumes 10000
quilts and 125 miles of thread daily

the air their unsupported weight will
send you under. Repeat the operation
with the other hand and foot. Always
get your shoes off first. You will find
that when they get full of water they
will tug at you like two pitiless demons
trying to take you down. You will
have to decide for yourself whether
you will remove your shoes while swim
ming on your breast or on your back.
Experience alone will show you which
way is easiest for you.
After your shoes are oil, SWIM on
your back with your feet and get your
coat and vest off. Your head may go
under occasionally while you are per-
forming these operations, but don't
mind that. Don't get Hurried, but keep
right on swimming. When you have
your shoes and coat and vest off you
will be comparatively free. A good
swimmer can keep afioat long time
with shirt and trousers on. Take of
your cuffs and collar, of course. 1t Is
next to impossible to get your trousers
off without drowning yourself. The
best thing to do is to rcll them up to
your knees. You can do that while
swimming with one hand and one foot.
Don't imagine that you are going to
have an easy time doing all this. 1t
takes patience, GOODNESS, and nerve to
accomplish it, but when it is done you
can swim a long time and make good

Better to Wear Out than Rust.

The late Prof Samuel ID. Gross, at
a dinner given to him in Philadelphia
on April 10, 1879, said: after fifty
years of earnest work / find myself
still in the harness; but although /
have reached that age when most men,
tired of the cares of life, seek repose in
retirement and abandon themselves to
the study Of religion, the claims of
friendship, or the contemplation OF
philosophy, my conviction has always
been that it is far better for man to
wear out than to rust out. Brain
work, study, and persistent application
have been great comfort to me, as
we'll as a great help; they have en-
HANGED the enjoyment of daily life, and
added largely to the pleasures of the
lecture-room and authorship; indeed,
they will always, / am sure, if wisely
regulated, be conducive both to health
and longevity. A man who abandons
himself to a life of inactivity, after
having always been accustomed to
work, is practically dead"

Formal Calls.

Formal calls are one of the penances
of this world, anyway. You don't want
to go much, and they don't care much
to have you come; but if you don't go
they get mad. In bright little book
called Crawford" published several
years ago, and we think by Mrs. Gas
kell, there is a description of young
lady starting out to make some formal
calls. Her aunts caution her not to
stay more than quarter of an hour at
any place, and she asks how will she
know when it is a quarter of an hour
if she is interested in the conversation
They tell her that she must keep her
mind on the time. and not allow her.
self to get much interested in the con-
versation and show her ignorance of
polite manners by overstaying the con-
ventional limits of call. Some such
idea as this still seems to prevail

juice little alcohol is commonly add

the whole digested together, with oc-

night, when the clear portion is decant-
