now here, a few hints to learners
may be useful. The first essent-
Ial is to know how to use the
hands Alright, with the view to
keeping the head well out Of
water, and the nextis to keep one
foot on the bottom until sufficient
confidence is acquired to raise it
at intervals. After few trials the
learner will be able to raise it
altogether.
Then, be not in hurry to use
the hands, as iflife depended on
striking out, but try and acquire
deliberation. Let every stroke
have a full sweep Of the arms,
and let the feet take care ofthem-
selves. 1t is not necessary that
the feet should be raised to the
surface ofthe water. The body,
from the shoulders downward,
should be kept at an angle OF 30
degrees to the plane of the hor-
izon. This inclination, with
every forward movement, will
tend to throw the head out.
Sperm whales, when frightened,
sink their huEes and throw their
heads out of water to obtain
their highest speed. The head
of the sperm whale is fiat at the
front, and is one-third the size Of
the body; the head of a tinbach
is pointed; the one throws his
head out, the other rushes
through the water horizontally

is nothing undignified about
smoking a short "briar" or
meerschaum along the streets of
London, Birmingham, Manches-
ter Or any of the great English
cities. A gentleman is none the
less a gentleman because he
does this. Indeed to smoke a
cigar in preference to a pipe
argues either expensive tastes of
the peeuniary ability to CRAFTY
them. What would our ladies
think Of a well dressed Young
man coming down Broadway
about 4 in the afternoon with a
nicotine blachened pipe in his
mouth! Horrible suggestion!
Yet in this country a man con-
siders it in perfect good taste to
walk into another's office with
a cigar stump stuck firmly in
one corner ofhis mouth. More
over, he does not take it out
even to talk. Such behavior in
London would be construed in
to an intentional insult.
