that the second daughter OF. Nikita has lately
been betrothed to cousin Of the car; and
still more by the fact that one OF the car 3
sons recently congratulated Nikita as the
future king Of Bosnia.
Now Bosnia is at present a dependency OF
Austria, and any attempt to wrest 1t from
the graspof the latter power would inevitably
result in war. Hence the outlook at present
is decidedly gloomy.

But Nikita Is the ruler of a very brave,
though numerically not very strong, people,
who for centuries have never been completely
conquered by any power. The character Of
the country is SUCH that an Invasion Is next
toimpossible Hence their friendship is not
to be despised, especially since, in case OF
close alliance or confederacy Of Montenegro
with Russia and the absorption Of the other
Balkan states by the latter, Russia would
have an easy ingress into the Mediterranean,
Montenegro bordering on the Adriatic.

Sugar a, An Anti-Iucru.ta.iou.

Some interesting experiments are said to
have been recently made In the employment
of sugar as an agent to prevent the inorssta-
ton OF steam boilers The results ere reported
as highly satisfactory. Into . boiler Of
twenty horse power. and containing lee
cubes, two kiioneters of sugar were intro
duced every week, and after four months
working under these conditions the incus-
tatiou on the boiler, which had formerly
been badly incruseed every six weeks, was
found to consist only OF thin film, which
was easily removed by washing. New York

THE BREAST STROKE.

use Of the arms, but in the use Of the legs. II
Is natural for every one to paddle with the
arms In the water, and this padding motion
is all that Is necessary, although there are, Of
course, different degrees Of grace displayed.
But the difficulty Is in the leg stroke. When
a novice is learning to swim he first strikes
out with his arm, and then follows with a
spasmodic kick with the legs, at the same time
swallowing large mouthfulsof water, as If he
would get rid of it by swallowing it.
Now the cause Of this is that at the start
his legs are not drawn up close to bis body.
He Is SO afraid Of sinking that he doesn't dare
to keep still long enough to draw them up,
and yet this Is the first thing to be done.
Then when he does kick, he kicks like a mule,
straight out. He pushes against the water
with the bottoms of his feet, whereas he
should push against the water with the tops.
Try this motion out Of the water by standing
on one foot and kicking with the other. Say
that you stand on your left foot. Now draw
up your right foot, keeping your toe as far
back as possible, pushing it out SO that the
line from your knee to the tip Of your toe
will be as straight as it can be made.
Now kick, but make no motion from back
to front, aud at the same time out from the
side, so that you will strike, not with the sole
of your foot, but with the instep By study
ing the philosophy Of this motion. it VIII be
plain why the whole front Of the leg, and es-
pecially the web part Of the foot, Is such
valuable assistant in propelling the body.
Perhaps better illustration Of this move
ment is In swimming ON the back. Lying
fiat on the water, you draw UP your legs and
while they are drawn up, push the toes down
as far as possible Then, in making the
stroke, you describe semi circle outward and
upward toward the surface Of the water.
Study the accompanying illustration, and
you will see how the stroke is made. To
many, swimming, like waltzing, comes sail
at once, and nothing first" so don't be
discouraged il you fail the first time, after
making unavailing efforts to gulp down a
river, a bay or an ocean.

Cutting Glass with Scissors.

To know how to cut glass with scissors may
prove convenient at times, and the following
from Pottery Gazette tells how it may be
done: The glass must be kept quite level in
the water while the scissors are applied; and,
to avoid risk, it is better to perform the cut
ting by taking off small pieces at the corners
and along the edges, and to reduce the shape
gradually to that required. The softer glasses
cut the best, and the scissors need not be very

Rhubarb and Ginger Preserve.

Rhubarb and ginger preserve may be new
to some of the housekeepers Here is the
recipe: Skin and cut up sufficient quantity
of rhubarb, not too young. Weigh it, and
to every pound of rhubarb allow three-Quar-
ters of pound of sugar. Put together and
let stand over night. Next day put 1t In the
preserving kettle, adding some sliced ginger
root Boil one hour. This makes an excel
lent preserve, the ginger giving just the
flavor required to rhubarb, which is apt to
be rather insipid alone.
