HOW Women Swim.

The majority OF the fair pupils swim with
their arms only, and, if they do kick, the
force of their stockinged solcs is lost on the
air. Instead of drawing the legs up under
the body as a good male swimmer does, the
feminine pupil bends the leg at the knee, so
that the lower parts of the limbs rise grace
fully above the surface of the water at every
stroke and then drop back with a thud, as if
part of the roof of the bath house had fallen
in. The effect Of this innovation is most ex
hilarating, especially to the disinterested
spectators. In proportion to their size women
have heavier heads and smaller lungs than
men, and as lung power has much to do with
a swimmers buoyancy woman has tend
ency in the water to pitch head downward
The conformation of her body, too, helps this
unpleasant tendency, so that when she aggra-
Yates the trouble by kicking her heels out Of
the water she looks like a duck diving for
clams-New York Telegram.

Removing Tight Finger Rings.

Use the finest silk or thread consistent
with strengtn-ordinary housewife thread is
strong enough. Pass the end between the
finger and ring, keeping the spool or unlim
tied end at the side next the finger tip; then
wind downward toward the tip of the finger
for about quarter of an inch; then wind of
from above by tho short end about half this
amount Proceed, alternately winding on
and on, always leaving about one-eighth OF
an inch in breadth wound beneath the ring
When the knuckle is passed the ring comes
off easily. Oil or soap the thread well and
push up the ring before commencing TO wind
This method, it is believed, will remove any
ring.-New York Telegram.

A Plucky Girl.

Edward Brady, Philadelphia lawyer, has
aremarkably plucky daughter. She was
recently flung down a steep embankment by
an unmanageable horse and pinioned between
two ties on the Pennsylvania railroad track
near Berwyn, Pa. Her head was in an i'm
movable position, less than six inches from
the outside of the rail, and before she could
be rescued an express train Numbered past
her, the fire box of the engine fairly scorch
ing her face. And yet she never tainted nor
screamed, but remained calm and quiet,
though she felt certain that death was at
hand
Her first words when help came were ut

one usually associates with royalty of the

4 Rural Member.

A new member of congress for one of the
rural districts of Michigan was ambitious to
distinguish himself by his oratorN and ac-
cordingly watched for a favorable opportu
nifty. At length an occasion presented itself
A motion was made in the house for enforcing
the execution of some statute. whereupon the
orator in embryo rose solemnly up, and after
giving three loud hens, spoke as follows:
Mr. Speaker: Have we laws, or have we not
laws? If we have not laws, and they are not
observed, to what end are those laws made"
So saying, he sat down, his chest heaving high
with conscious consequence, Instantly Cox, the
clown of the house, with a twinkle in his eye,
rose and delivered his thoughts in these words:
Mr.. Speaker: Did the honorable gentleman
who spoke last speak to the purpose, or not
speak to the purpose2 If he did not speak to
the purpose to what purpose did he speakT'
That particular orator never troubled the
house again. Francisco Argonaut.

Old ColloquiaI Phrases.

A writer in a literary monthly lately an
cry of the word ''Aam," used in its present
colloquial sense, in a work dated 1852. The
surprise was natural, for probably few but
profeSsed students of our older literature
know what a large number of present day
words and phrases, modern and new tangled
as they appear, are but survivals, some
times with slightly changed meaning, from
bygone times. IN addition to a considerable
number of such words the Seventeenth CEN
fury vocabulary was also rich in collOquial
words and phrases which, owing to changed
conditions of life, and TO the gradual and
latterly rapid growth of the language, have
either slowly died out of use, or have been
elbowed out of favor and existence by more
modern popular coinages. That will suit me
down to the ground" says the modern
dealer in slang; two centuries and more ago
it would have suited him "up and down. "
John Day, in his curious play, the isle Of
Gulls," 1906 says: "A thinge once wei done
is twice done; and am in her mind for that,
up and downe." "Friday-face" is a term
still occasionally applied to a our visaged
person; it was formerly in very common
use In the old comedy of "Wily Beguiled, "

BURIED, NOT DEAD.

We said good-by to our buried past,
And wept and mourned by the lonely grave
For the beautiful life that could not last
The treasure no tenderest prayer could saves
Then into the world we turned away,
And sorrow walked with US day by day.
A faded flower and torn white glove,
Letters, a lock of hair half curled,
Poor, sad requests of our dear dead love-
Yet worth the wealth Of the whole wide world
A shell, pebble may tell Alright
OF the oceans depth and the oceans might
We made grave and we said good-by;
All. foolish dreamers! we moved apart,
And thought, in our folly, love could die,
While life throbbed on in the brain and heart
Now all is over" we signing said,
"Since love, the cherished, lies cold and dead"
Not so, beloved all, never so
Whenever your dear face comes in sight,
Heart springs to heart with the old warm glow
And silence speaks with the old delight;
An empty grave in the sunshine lies,
But love still lives in our meeting eyes.

sweet Revenge.

Napoleon's impudent apology for seizinS
Holland, that it was a country formed by the
alluvium of French rivers, and so belonged
rightfully to France, can scarcely have at'
forded the Dutch much satisfaction, for they,
like all patriotic people, are rather sensitive
to the peculiarities of their country. More
over, like other partisans, they are likely to
receive an occasional well directed missile, If,
living in glass houses, they attempt TO throw
stones.
An Englishman, in exploring the North and
Baltic seas on his yacht Falcon, once picked
up a pilot, who made sundry sarcastic and
patronizing remarks as to the leaky condition
of the Falcon, for she was boat requiring
constant pumping
Presently across the dikes loomed up an
enormous congregation of windmillS
'What do you haveall these windmills forr
asked a sailor.
''To pump de water off de land" replied
the pilot. IF those was not always turn
ing round, US Hollanders would soon all be

"Well, pilot, returned the captain, you
were very severe just now because our boat
leaked, but you must confess that your coun-
try leaks harder still"
The pilot smiled, in spite of himself, but

The following account of the discovery OF
a hidden treasure is somewhat curious from
the strange manner in which the veritahle
owner recovered his property In a field
near London, some laborers, digging up the
roots of a tree, found two jars containing
nearly four hundred sovereigns. They divid
ed the money among themselves, and Were
then taken aback by the lord of the manor
claiming it. Before this claim could be in
vestigated a tradesman came forward and
stated that one night, under a temporary
delusion, he had gone out and buried the
money; but when he awoke, and for some
time afterward, he tried in vain to recollect
the locality he had selected. 1t was not until
he heard a rumor Of the finding of 400 sover
eigns that he obtained a clew and the entire
transaction was recalled to his memory. He
was able to bring forward sufficient evidence
in support of his singular story, and, to his
great relief, the money was eventually re
stored to him.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Among curious recOveries are many in.
stances which are of interest on account OF
the odd circumstances rather than of the
money value of the articles lost and found.
A few years ago parcel of manuscript OF
Poole's great Index to Periodicals" contain
ing the material for about twenty pages, was
stolen from the express on its way to the
printers The state of mind of the editors
can well be imagined, for these twenty pages
represented the three years labor of some
fifty co-operators, and could not be replaced
without going through, from beginning to
end, over 1900 volumesl The indexes of some
periodicals might, as far as they were con
cerned, furnish an imperfect substitute, but
while the editors were considering how they
could best make use of them, the manuscript
was found under street counter, where it
had been thrown by the disappointed thief,
and a vexatious delay in the publication Of q
most invaluable work was fortunately pre-
veuted.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
