One of the most sensible of school re-
gulations is that at Elton which specifics
that only those boys who know how to
swim shall engage in boating. At one time
the school authorities did not interfere at
all in overseeing the oersmen, and acct
dents on the water were not at all I'M
usual.
In 1910, however, when a boy was
drowned, the law was made that no boy
should be allowed to enter a boat who
had not passed an examination in swim
ming. One or two teachers were dp-
pointed river masters, bathing places
were specified, and watermen were en-
gagged, both to teach swimming, and to.
be ut hand with puTts, in order to pre-
cnt accident.
Bathing is permitted as soon after the
Easter holidays as the weather viii al
low, and twice u week the river masters
are present at Cuckoo weir to conduct
the swimming examination. Boating"
Of the Badninton library, describes the
ceremony:
"a number of the boys thought by the
watermen to be sufficiently proficient.
appear, undressed, in a punt. About
thirty yards off u pole is stuck up in the
water. The master stands on q high
place called the ~acropolis, and as he calls
one name after another each pupil takes
n header and swims once or twice
round the pole. 1t is not sufficient
merely to take the header and accom-
plish the specified distance; he must
swim in approved form, SO as to be capa-
BILE Of swimming in his clothes"
Since these formalities have been es-
tablished only one boy has been drowned
at Elton, though many boats are swamped
under all sorts of circumstances Those
who have not passed belong to the class
called mon nant. Youths Companion.

A Truth Well Exnresseh.

'Many persons c%riticise in order not to
seem ignorant; they do not know that
indulgence is a mark of the highest cul-
ture, " says Carmen Sylvia in the current
number of The Woman's World, and it
is a truth well expressed. 1t is the little
learning, the narrow culture, that is
carping and censorious, and mistakes
fault finding for criticism. The highest
and most liberal culture is generous and

In an Old English Cburobvard.

Not far from the inn, down a wall Dor
dered lane and then through a paved pas
sage where not more than three persons
can walk abreast, we came to the grounds
enclosing the old church built in sixteen
hundred and something. (Only places of
worship here in which is conducted the
service of the Church of England are
called churches; all others are ''dissen-

whose fine proportions have been much
admired by students of architecture. All
around, in the great c~hurchyard, lie the
dead of past generations-a few of the
inscriptions dating back nearly three hun

told, contain the remains of a dozen per-

Tip-Giving Playing Out

Says restaurant waiter: The fashion
of giving tips is dying out among
eaters ct the restaurants, and there
isn't as much money in waiting as
usual. Occasionally waiter can make
dollar or SO extra. but it isn't often.
The proprietors sat down on tips some
time ago. on the ground that walters
were extravagant in fixing up meals
for customers who gave tips. They
said that waiter would give a man
three dollars worth of stuff for ono
dollar in order to get the tip. When
tips are forbidden the walters services
are not so good At present many
good walters do not work in the
restaurants and hotels. but just ON the
outside, at balls. banquets and we'd
dings At q fashionable affair, when
every body is IN full dress. we can get
FIVE dollars \ night and found in =
Jacket. At . common ball we get
three dollars night and found. and
the same prices are paid at banquets
and weddings. There are seasons
when a good waiter can make quite .
large sum in this line. and then there
are tips. too. and the work is good

or substance be cooled to produre
dew. The blades of grass and the
leaves of trees, being so thin, are
quickly cooled by the air when the
sun goes down. They radiate or
throw out the warmth that is in
them, and snon become cooler than
the air is, and then the water that is
in the air begins at once to settle on
them, and in the course of clear
night will collect there enough to
form the "dewdrops." There is
never any dew on the bare ground,
because it never gets cooler than the
air, so as to cause the moisture 10
settle on it; nor of cloudy night,
because the clouds radiate heat to
the ground, which prevents the
leaves and grass from cooling, as
cloudy night is always warmer than
clear one would have been for the
same cause. The dew does not fall
on the leaves like rain, but collects
from all directions, and it is not
seen on the under side, because that
side is so porous as to absorb or
drink it up, as sponge does water.

PARENTAL CORRECTIONS.

The man commits q crime, and so
does the woman, who will send a
child to bed with wounded spirit, or
shall allow any vindictiveness of
feeling to exist in consequence of
anything the child may have done.
Sharp pointed memories have often
driven men mad; multitudes are
there who are more dead than alive,
from the ailments Of the mind, which
is wasting itself away in vast re
morses for the irrevocable past.
The fault of most parents is over
harsh reproofs of their children; re
proofs that are nasty, unproportion-
ed to the offence, and hence as to
ones own child, helpless and nnre-
sisting, and cruelty as well as in
justice. Thrice happy is that par
ent who has no child in the grave
who can be wished back, only il for
a brief space, so as to afford some
opportunity for repairing some un-
merited unkindness towards the
dead darling. 1t may require a
thousand efforts, and there may be
a thousand failures as discouraging
as they are sad; still, let the high
resolve go out lit shall be DONE and
the prickling of many a thorn will
be spared in after years and in old
age. The two points to be daily
aimed at are:
First. Let the family table be
always meeting place of pleasant
ness, and affection, and peace, and
tor the exhibition Of the sweeter
feelings of domestic life.
Second. Let every child be sent
to bed with kisses of affection, espe
ciaily those under ten years of age.

FORMATION OF DEW.

When children 90 abroad in
clear morning, they often find all the
grass covered with drops of water,
and sometimes the water even drops
from the trees, though the ground Is
dry. and there has evidently been
no rain IN the night. They soon
learn to call these drops by the name
Of dew; but whence and how comes
dew on the ground is a puzzle.
Well, there is always more or less
moisture in the air. If there is a
cubic inch of water in cubic yard
of air, then the air is said to be
thoroughly impregnated or filled
with water. In such a case, the
smallest amount of cold or absence
of heat in anything will cause little
drops OF dew to settle on the surface.
Almost any substance will have
more or less dew on it when the air
is in such a state, because few sub
stances are warm enough to prevent
it. Then just in proportion as there
is less water in the air, musta boiy

Carl Schurz, writing from Germa-
nv To q friend in New York, says:

Carl Schurz, writing from Germa-
nv to q friend in New York, says:
Il cannot express myself too
strongly on this point. The ques-
ton is not whether tariff reform will
or will not come 1t is sure to come,
either now or in the near future.
The question really is whether it
shall come in the temperate and
prudent shape proposed in Mr..
Cleveland's message, tending to
strengthen rather than to endanger
the manufacturing industries, or in
the shape of an angry reaction q lit
tie later, threatening such loss and
confusion as is incident to sudden,
violent. and sweeping changes OF
system"
Mr.. Schurz finds in the appear
ance of Trusts one of the signs OF
the times of the deepest meaning.
They are the highest and worst form
taken by the spirit of protection. 1t
is Idle to deny the connection be-
tween the protective tariff and the
Trust. IAN intelligent people will
not fail to see that the two contrlv-
ances are designed to serve the same
oblect-to enhance the price OF
goods by cutting off competition"
"The protective tariff and the Trust
are children of the same parentage;
the Trust is the younger brother or
the tariff" If n Trust such rs the
Standard Oil can exist without the
tariff, the power is greatly limited
by the absence of protection from
foreign competition With all its
strength the Standard Oil Company
cannot advance the price beyond
that for which foreign oil can be
brought in. In other cases the
power Of the Trust depends directly
on the exclusion OF competition from
abroad In these the duty of Con-
gress is clear. 1t should "say to
the manufacturers combined in
Trusts: AS you will not let the peo
pie have the benefit Of home compe-
tition, you shall not have the benefit
o. protection from foreign competi-
ton. The tariff duties on your ar
ticles shall therefore be promptly
done away with. You shall not eat
the cake and have it, too.

INDIANA PRACTICALLY DEMO-
CRATIC.
Especial to the World.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-One of the
keenest observers about the capital
is Postmaster Dalton, Of the House
of Representatives. He has just re.
turned from canvassing trip thro'
Indiana. He says:
If the election should take place
to morrow the Democrats would car
ry Indiana by not less than 10000
or 13, 900, and the opinion OF our best
men there is that we will get not less
than $4,000. Some of our people
are afraid that liberal use of mon
ey in the last days Of the fight may
change things, but there is nothing
in that. From what / saw and from
what our State leaders told me, / put
Indiana down as practically safe for
the Democratic ticket. There are
thousands of dollars offered there to
bet on Cleveland without takers. In
returning from Indiana / visited
New York. There met Phil Dwyer,
owner of the celebrated racing sta
BILE, and he offering to bet $4,000 on
Cleveland. He said it was safer and
surer than any horse race he had
ever seen.

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach
are various, and statistics show con
clusively that more persons die from
disease of the Throat and Lungs
tn IN any other. It's probable that
everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of Tubercle Germs in
to the system and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start ia
to life and develop, at first slowly
and is shown by slight tickling
sensation in the throat and if allow
ed to continue their ravages they
extend to the lungs producing Con-
sumption and to the head, causing
Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous
and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. AT the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing
a cold to 90 without attention is
dangerous and may lose your life
AS soon as you feel that something
is wrong with your Throat, Lungs
or Nostrils, obtain bottle Of Bo-
schee's German Syrup. 1t will give
you immediate relief. Jy27-eow.
