The Best Swimmer at Long Branch.

Liz DeSG ONllllltI dG iUuS DTduCH.
An hour after she had been driven
away in her carriage 1 went to battle.
Sporting in the water was a young girl,
The picture of health and maidenly hap
piness. Her face and arms were brown
rs a berry, and she sported in the break
ers like a mermaid. She could swim a
better stroke than any of the young
men surrounding her. Her graceful
antics in the water attracted the atten-
lion not only of the bathers but of ev-
cry looker-on from the splendid bath
houses of the Hollywood cottages. She
could dive and turn a somersault in the
water as gracefully as a swan and her
plain but neatly fitting bathing suit adj
ied charm TO her movements, without
retarding them. She must have been
in the water a half hour or more-the
very picture of a water nymph. Inev-
CT saw a female swimmer who could
match her either in agility or graceful
ness. Every one was inquirlng her
name, and just as she walked out of
the water, a perfect picture of symme-
try and becoming modesty, some one
SAID: "Why, that is Jennie kenney,
of Philadelphia. She is the most noted
swimmer along the coast"
This was apparent from what I had
seen. 1 believe this young lady is the
daughter of Mr.. H. F. Kenney, the
superintendent of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad.
But be that as it may, she carries off
the palm among all the female bathers
of this place. As 1 saw her emerge
from her bath-house a half hour after
she left the water, dressed in a neatly
fitting suit, could not help but think
how much richer she was than the old
lady with her twelve millions. The
one young, healthy and attractive, with
her life all before her; the other old and
alone, with a life spent and burden
some millions to give away to those
who will appreciate the giver only as a

How a Saving Wife Can Materially Assist
Struggling Husband.
Every hOuse-keeper knows how care
full treatment keeps table-linen and
household furniture. Girls do not
always know or remember that great
care of their own little possessions will
often enable them to dress nicely on
very little money. A lady says: ''When
was a girl there was one of my young
friends who was distinguished for
making her things last. Her dress,
hats, gloves and ribbons were a marvel
of durability. l used to wonder how
she managed to make them last SC
without their getting shabby, but ]
ceased to do so when [ visited her at
her own home. The reason why her
clothes wore so long was that she took
good care of them. Her dr. esses We're

moved as soon as it was discovered.
Her hat was wrapped in an old pocket
handkerchief, and put away in a box as
soon as done with, the strings and laces
being Strengthened and rolled out most
Systematically each time. Her gloves
were never folded together, but were
pulled aut straight and laid fat in a
box, one upon another, each time they
were used, the tiniest hole being
mended almost before it had time K

pressed me most was the care she be.
slowed on her ribbons. When making
up bows she used to line the upper part
of the ribbon with white paper, and this
not only prevented the ribbon from
becoming limp and creased but kept it
clean, so shat when the bow was soiled
on one side she could turn the ribbon,
and the part that had been covered
came out looking new and fresh. That
girl married and brought up a large
family. Her husband had to fight his
way, and did so bravely, and was unu-
sually successful, for he became
wealthy. His prosperity was due quite
as much to his wife's care and economy
in saving money as it was to his max
ing it.'-GO0d Cheer.

PROFITABLE FLATTERY.
The Way a Young Rogue Is Said to Prey
Upon the Nations Salons.


Washington Cor. Boston TraveIer.I
The latest scheme for squeezing the
purse-pround Congressman is what is
nown as the "cra yon racket" An enter
prising but impecunious young artist is
accredited with its discovery. There are
several others who are working it with
him, and with astonishing success.
The ''crAyon racket" is played something
after this style. The young artist usually
finds out something about his intepded
victim in advance. A vain man Is pa c-
ularly susceptible. After having discov-
cred a Congressman with the necessary
amount of vanity, and this is by no means
a difficult matter, he buys one of his photo
graphs, which are upon sale in the lobby
Then by means of the "soar print" pro-
cess he draws in life sized crayOn. Ten
dollars is a fair price for one of these
pictures. After the crayon has been COM
pleted he has it framed and takes it to the
capitol The member is invited to inspect
it in his committee-room. The artist tells
him that his face is such a strong one and
shows so much Intelligence that he drew
it from sketches made in the gallery sinl-
to show what he could do. If the victim
desires to purchase it he will sell it frame
and all for fifty dollars. In nine cases ont
of ten the combined influence of the fat
terry and the crayon gets in its work and
the artist makes very handsome profit
upon his small investment.

GOOD SEED CORN.

Suggestions Which Unsuccessful Corn
Growers Should Remember.
1t makes one tired to hear farmers
complaining about their seed-corn not
growing, when they might with a
little extra care and pains-taking in the
fall, have their seed so they could
almost warrant it to grow. A neighbor
of mine sold $50 it is reported) this
spring about sixty bushels of seed corn
at a high price, and those buying il
supposed it to be good seed; but since
planting it they find that from One-haH
to one-third of the seed viii not ger

loss and vexatiOn to those who were SO
unfortunate as to plant it. l viii give
the readers a pointer on the seed-corn
business, if they can remember 1t till
fall, and put it in practice. Make a
box large enough to hold what corn
Won think you viii need for seed.
Strip the two sides of it the same as
you would a cOrn-crib. Select your
seed when you are husking and put it
in this box, first setting the box by the
kitchen stove. When you have the
box filled, nail the cover on, and If the
women don't like the appearance of it,
get some paper and let them paper it;
but at ell hazards, leave the box Of
corn stand by the stove until time of
planting next spring. Then you can
shell your corn and plant it and have
40 fear about it not growing. / think
