1.-THE muscles of the leg principally brought
INTO play in swimming in this style are the
muscles of the inside thigh, which need con-
siderable use before they get hardened to the
work The legs are the great propelling
power in the water, and beginner should
learn the use of them before endeavoring to
swim and on first entering the water. Some
teachers give beginner plank on which to
rest his hands or chin while learning the leg
movement, and this plank Is often found very
useful. A beginner should never stay over
fifteen minutes in the water at any one time
when learning or being taught how to swim,
nor should he take swim when he is tired
nor before or after full meal"

that there Is every prospect OF her reign
outlasting that Of any British sovereign. 1t
Is an interesting fact that her seventy years
have been divided into three not very une-
quail periods: She was nearly twenSy-one
years maiden, and nearly twenty-five years
a wife, and has been widow twenty-seven
years and five months. Yet no Ilustrious
parsonage of this age has more nearly pre-
served the same individuality through all
changes
The girlish gayety of the Princess Victoria
was always tempered with strange gravity.
It has been the fashion TO attribute this TO the
rigid training of her mother, but the lessons
of time indicate that it was inherent, and all
the attendants and intimates Of the court re-
late that when her German cousins, one Of
whom was to be her husband, on their long
and delightful visit made the old halls ring
with youthful sport, the happy princess was
still dignifled in her enjoyment OF their sports
Remembering the fierce white light that
beats upon a throne" most readers would
conclude there could be no romance in the
marital experience OF queen; yet the court

Victoria and Albert was as romantic, as ten

This is, in brief, the history of their court
ship The queen had formerly announced
that she could not think OF marriage for sew
eral yeas, and the prince had come, after
his Italian tour, to visit his royal cousin"
they met few times, and it was understood
that the prince was making ready for his de-
parture, when, the queen appearing one even
ing somewhat flushed, a lady Of the court
ventured to inquire the cause II have rea-
son to be agitated," was the reply; II have
just proposed to the prince" The cruel ne
cessities of the royal situation made it neces-
sary for her to take the initiative. The reply
of the prince is not of record, but the queens
speech at the next opening of parliament,
Jan. l6, 1910, announced the result, with this
sentence added: Il trust the step will be con-
ducive to the interests of my people as well

PROF. JOHN ROBINs0N's VIEWS.

Floating Is the Most Natural Position of
the Body in the Water-How to Dive
but Not Rapid.
To know how to swim is very important
accomplishment for a man, woman or child
not alone because of the fact that swimming
is one of the best, if not the best, of all recre-
ative sports for exercise and body building,
but because there are times when knowing
how to swim will save ones life 1t is an
ancient art, and an art that as an athletic
sport is being very much appreciated at the
present time.

Of swimming to learn, and Is the commences
style in use, but it is not up to the times, be-
cause a man cannot swim very fast if he
swinis in that STYLE
SAT about the same time man learns to
swim he should learn to dive. Diving is not
very essential thing for aswimmer to learn,
but it adds to the charm of the natatorial
art. A man cannot dive gracefully or well
without considerable practice, and that prac-
tice should be taken at first very cautiously.
Expert divers can plunge off staging ten
feet high in few feet of water, but begin
nars should not attempt such feats. A
beginner should start By diving at a
height of not more than foot or two
above the water, and should hold his hands
V-shaped over his head TO cut the water be-
fore him, hold his body stiff and rigid, and
have his lower limbs pass through the hole
made by his head and shoulders In the de
scent. He should always keep his eyes shut
when entering the water head first, as he is
liable to injure them if he does not do 50, by
having them come in contact with the water.
Before taking the dive he should I'LL his lungs
with fresh supply of air and retain it till he
reaches the surface after he has entered the
water.
THE BREAST STROKE.
SIN swimming the breast stroke the first
position person takes is to lie face down in the
water, his head being the only portion above
it, with his arms extended at full length in
front of him, hands together, and his legs ex-
tended straight out behind him He begins
motion by turning the palms Of the hands
out, inclined at an angle of about sixty de-
grees, and, while holding stiff arms, pulling
his hands back and down till his arms are
even with his shoulder, when be bends his
elbows, turns his wrist under his chest and is
ready to shoot his hands out from the position
in which he started the stroke. While he is
drawing his hands back and down through
the water he at the same time draws his legs
up in diamond shape, and when shoots his
hands forward to begin the stroke, as in the
first position, he kicks out with his legs, imi-
tating the action of a frog.

just before Midnight or Dec IA, IcuI, Lon
don was surprised by the tolling Of the great
bells OF St Pauls, and It was soon known
that the prince consort had died at ten min
utes before II, in the presence Of the queen,
the Prince Of Wales and the Princesss Alice
and Helena Only the preceding day was it
known that he was seriously sick of cold and
fever. Then began the long and for many
years rnournful widowhood Of Queen Vic
toria
For some years the English people. espe-
cially the small traders, complained bitterly
that the queen continued her mourning and
seclusion so long that she withdrew as far as
possible from all public ceremonials, and did
not take her proper place at the head of that
pageantry which is among the most import
ant functions of the sovereign under the Brit
ISL constitution. Then, with that happy
perversity which is truly English, they be-
came proud of her devotion TO the dead, and
read with absorbed interest her account OF
her married life. Finaily-such is the deli
cate but powerful persuasiveness Of love
they began TO look at the late prince consort
through her eyes and endow him with all
possible virtues and graceS

THE FIRST THING TO REMEMBER

Professor John Robinson, one of the great
est swimmers in the United States, recently
said to Boston Herald reporter:
''The first thing that should be impressed
upon the mind Of a beginner before he starts
out to learn to swim is that he is lighter than
the water, and that with lungs inflated and
body below the water he can't possibly sink,
as it is perfectly natural for him to float.
Then, again, he should have self confidence.
When he finds that by following directions
he can float, he will readily see how little eff
fort is required on his part to enable him to
drive his body through the water. After
this he can eventually become all expert if he
has the proper requisites and will train and
practice. This principle should be taught to
all beginners before they enter the water.
TO FLOAT EXTRAORDINARILY
''To float perpendicularly is the easiest
thing human being can do in the water, and
