He Gets There in Seventeen WAYS.

I can swim seventeen different ways,
some of which come under the head Of
fancy swimming. AS gymnast can go
through his regular performance so can
l change rapidly from one style of swim
ming to another. For a hundred yard
race l recommend the American over
hand side stroke. l admit that some
say the turtle stroke is the faster of the
two, but really think the side stroke is
the fastest in the world. With the over
hand side stroke swan 100 yards in
one minute and fifteen seconds, while
the turtle stroke occupied just one and
one-hfth seconds longer. l have found
the turtle stroke very hard to keep up,
because the movements are quicker than
the side stroke movements. In a race
always try to keep on the left side of
your opponent, with your eye on him,
SO he cannot make squirt and get away
from you.-Gus Sundstrom in New York

No Ham In Theirs,

extremely high toned and wealthy set OF

table was decorated with the costliest OF

engaged to discourse sweet music while

The party went out in tally-ho coach

into the breakfast room, and the sight Of
the table and the appearance of things
generally elected the most enthusiastic
applause. Down they sat, ready and

We Eat Lots of Peanuts.

The average yield of peanuts appears
to be about fifty bushels to the acre, al
though it sometimes goes as high as
seventy-fve and falls as low as twenty
five. The value to the producer of the
crop of 1889-90 is estimated at not less
than 100000. A simple calculation
will show that the daily consump.
ton Of peanuts in the United States is
about 100000 pounds, or ten carloads,
representing an expenditure by the con-
sulner of from $4,000 to 100000 daily.

Happy Dispatch of Poultry.

of an association of business men of his

The men who are represented by

South and buy timber lands and erect
saw mills. The scheme also embraces
the erection of factory to make wood
