Wonsem sAould Learn to S,ci,n.

Why dc not American women learn
to swim? They now go yachting,
dressed in pretty nautical suits. They
handle sailboats and pull rowboats.
They climb along slippery rocks, and
are in every way exposed to falling into
water in greater numbers in summer
than men whose avocations are ashore.
Yet, with rare exceptions, if woman
falls into the water she is next tos pow
erless to save herself from drowning.
At the bathing beaches one very
rarely sees a woman striking out like a
man. Even where one does she looks
ashore as though she were doing some
thing unwomanly. This is purely an
American superstition, for in all the
great European cities swimming is al
most as much part of young lady's
education as playing the piano or MAX
ing embroidery.
The modern bathing suits leave a wo-
man as free to swim as man. 1t is an
art very easy to learn, and in the nata-
forum in New York, kept by Ger
man woman, girls learn to swim in half
a dozen lessons.
Almost every day records some case
of woman falling off yacht or being
carried off her feet by the undertow.
The male protector" is usually at
hand, but were he not there would be a
drowning tragedy in almost every in
stance.
The first canoe one ought to learn to
paddle is his own body. The women
are no exceptions to this rule, and every
considerable city in the United States
should have a good natatorium.

woman takes a mans arm is perfectly
absurd. Of course when a girl is really
head over ears in love with fellow. and
the engagement ring is all safe on her
third finger and the day is set, she IS
apt to snuggle a little when she takes
his arm. But to say that a man can
learn the progress he Is making in a
girls affections by inducing her t. take
his arm for walk now and then IS as
funny as it can be. Why, the ordinary
man. with all mis- faculties, can't for the
life of him tell whether a girl is really
in love with him or if she is only anus
ing herself at his expense. One day he
will think it's all right and the girl
loves him: the next he is racked by
doubt and enyeloped with gloom. And
not by noting the way in which she
takes his hand at parting, or how she
looks at him while she tells him some
thing, or how she listens while he re-
lates an anecdote, or how she defers to
him in company helps him to make up
his mind. As for the pressure of her
hand on his arm-it that was the only
way Of finding out he would go crazy,
sure. That last statement about six
foot woman taking, with perfect ease
and grace, the arm of a four-foot man is
enough, l should think, to stamp the
whole thing as the coinage of the brain
of some man who never had a girl.

lies in the fact that the foundation on
which it is made can be let down

this being accomplished by simple ar
rangement of buttons and cords; thus,
when cycling. the skirt is let down and

OUR RAILW AVS.
Annual Report of Commissioner of Rail
ways Taylor.

Annual Report of Commissioner of Rail-
ways Taylor.
Secretary Noble has received the annual
report of Commissioner of Railroads Tay-
Tor for the fiscal year ending June 30 last
As Taylor was not appointed to the po-
sition until July Il the work of the bureau
does not come under him, and he confines
himself to recommendations.
Several railroads which received land
grants from the State refused to report TO
the railroad commissioner, who differs
from them and claims that as the States
received land from the United States and
then gave grants to the railroads IT is the
same as if they were granted directly, He
has therefore, reported these railroads TO
the Secretary of the Interior for judicial
action.
The commissioner next devotes himself
to the subject Of the rate wars between
railroads. He says that in most cases they
are devoid of pallaton or excuse, and
that they destroy or imperil the value OF
railroad securities and impose unjust bur
dens upon the commerce Of the country.
The commissioner dIsagrees with the claim
of'the railroad managers that the recent
losses sustained wers due to restrictive laws
enacted by Congress and various States.
He believes that in many sections of the
West, notably in Iowa and Kansas, roads
have more mileage than necessary and,
therefore, run at loss
The commissioner also expresses his tie.
lief that the railroad managers do wrong
in fighting to secure trade from competing
points in "A State for developing local
traffic.
The commissioner indorses the recon-
mendations of his predecessor in favor Of
enacUing a law providing for the funding
of debts of the bonded roads He believes
also in extending the time ana reducing
the rate of interest He opposes having
regular fixed payments and thinks that
the law must not be too strict, for in
that event he sees that the roads could
not be able to meet them and the govern
ment might be compelled to pay oil prior
liens and take possession of the roads
Besides the extension of time and the
reduction of interest the commissioner de
cides that the roads be required 20 pay n
certain per cent of their gross earnings to
the liquidation of their indebtedness to the
government Thus in the years of deprcs-
sion roads could not pay much on the
indebtedness, while in prosperous years
they could do better.
In conclusion he gives a complete state
ment of the Indebtedness of the Pacific
railroad, etc, and shows that it will be
impossible to pay all off at maturity.

/ read somewhere a short time ago,
SAYS a writer in the Chicago Mail, that
a man can tell pretty well how a girl
feels toward him by the way she takes
his arm that if she doesn't care a rap
for him he can tell it by the indifl'er-
ence Of her muscles if she has great
confidence in him the pressure tells it;
and that friendship is as distinct from
love in that mode of expression as in
looks or in words The writer went so
far as TO say that a woman could not
take the arm of fellow she liked with
perfect comfort, even if she be six feet
tail and ne only four.
This last sounded So much like a lie
that l concluded to submit the whole
matter to a lady Who knows as much
about womeus ways as anybody

The Representative of This Country IN
Morocco in Trouble.

Charges OF a serious character have
been made to the State depart
ment, during the last year concern
ing the official and personal conduct of
Reed Lewis, Of Pennsylvania United
States nsul-General in Morocco The
charges affect the manner in which he has
conducted the accounts of the Office and
also his bearing as representative of the
United States in outside dealings. The
most recent allegation against Consul-Geu-
eral Lewis is made by a newspaper pub
lished at Tangier, which goes so far as
to make direct charge Of an attempt at
eXtortion Of money from another represen-
tative of the United States Vice Consul
Cohen who is stationed at Mazagan, Mo-
rocco. According TO the newspaper, Lewis
called on Cohen, who is wealthy, and de
manded 20, 600 francs as the price OF his
retention in office. Cohen refused TO com
ply with this demand, and Lewis said that
the consular agency had brought Cohen
large profits, and he could afford to spare
20, 900 francs Cohen, again refusing, was
deprived OF his office by Lewis who offered
il, without success, 10 several persons 1t
was finally accepted by Daniel Madden.
The paper also charges that Cohen was
placed under arrest, his papers seized and
the American flag over the consulate
hauled down State Department officials
say that the ease is in Assistant Secretary
Wharton's hands and they refuse TO dis
Cuss it until De returns Lewis is the son

The charm of the Southern woman is
not that she knows so much, is not that
her gowns are the very latest style, or
that she aspires to any high degree of
physical culture, but that she is essen-
italy a woman, SAYS White Sulphur
Springs, (Va.) correspondent of the
Louisville C0uTier-JoluBdl She is a
happy girl, she expects to be married
some day, and she expects to be a
mother some day. She doesn't think
all this out, but still if the question
were to be put to her, she would tell
You that it was the truth. She does
not wear a tailor.made gown with the
chic of the New York girl, but she is
wonderfully bewitching in the white
one that she dons in the evening, and in
which, just now, she looks a bit like q
picture taken from one of the old beauty
books. She wears a full, plain skirt, a
bodice that is cut round at the neck,
showing the white, firm flesh, and the
sleeves are the veritabe baby sleeves
that are so exquisitely modest, and yet
which show the entire arm. About her
waist is white xibbon belt. and Just in
front is a buckle set with brilliants
which grandmamma wore in her dane
ing days. Her hair is knotted low on
her neck, and just on one side is placed
great creamy white rose. She will tell
you that she heard that the beautiful
girl that married the Duke of Portland
inclined to wearing a flower in this way,
and then she remembered that there was
a picture at home of some aunt who was
famous in her time, who had her rose
placed Just So and from it she learned
the proper method of arrangement.
Now, this is a pen and ink photograph
OF a real living girl who is going to
marry New York millionaire.
