BATHING IN SALT LAKE.
FIrst Experience of a Pirtsburger With One
of Natures Curiosities.

Elrbt Experience oil flttsDufGef Win One
of Natures Curiosities.
After the long ride of 300 miles over the
Denver and Rio Grsnde road. through the
Utah Desert from Grand Junction, on not
summer day, Salt Lake and the city OF the
same name are most pleasant sights. A dip
IN its briny waters is indeed a luxury. The
railroads have created Garfield Beach, and
here the good Mormons and the tourists go
down together into the salty liquid. Not
quite SO many people are to be seen there as
at Atlantic City, but the place is usually
crowded during the summer days.
Those who bathe in the lake should be
posted first to keep the water out OF the eyes
and nose. To say that 16 per cent of it is
salt gives one no idea of its effect 1t is
when it burns the eyes to redness and almost
strangles you, if it gets into the throat, that
you begin to realize just how salty it is.
The first impulse of most bathers is to dive
head first into the water, and those who do
it from ignorance or sheer foolhardiness al
ways regret it with tears and violent cough
ings.
The water itself is as clear as crystal and
the white sand in the bottom is as attractive
rs the golden silt of the Atlantic. You can't
sink in the Salt Lake, and you float around
for hours lying in almost any position, pro-
viding you keep your mouth out Of the
water, but even if your intents are suicidal,
and you choose to drown, your friends will
have no trouble to find you. The great
Salt Lake will carry you on its bosom as it
would log, and dead body is not intrin-
sically worth as much as piece of timber.

How an Insurance Agent Nistook Florists

There is a certain florist In Pittsburg who

The other Gay a near-sighted insurance
agent who is wide awake, however, and

"Why, Mr.. Hardy Plant" replied the

and rubbed his eyes thoroughly he dis.

Considerable Excitement Over the Sinking

Considerable Excitement Over the Sinking
of shauty Boat.
Quite crowd was attracted yesterday
afternoon BY screams coming from the
vicinity of the ferry landing, West End.
The cause of the outcry was the sinking of a
shanty boat IN the Ohio river near the terry
landing. Mrs. Pfeil. with several children,
occupied the boat. 1t was stationed about
eight feet from the river bank. and at 8
O'Clock IN the afternoon sprung leak. The
leak became SO great that in few minutes
the boat commenced sinking.
Mrs. Pfeil and her children got out on
the deck and screamed for help. The boat
sank before assistance could be rendered.
but the water was so shallow that the deck
was left high and dry, notwithstanding the
cries of Mrs. Pfeil that her children, who
were out on the deck, were drowning. The
crowd that gathered threw board out, and
the family was rescued, not one OF them
having even their feet wet.

so, and it should hold good when the father
lives. His position was mot supported and
he took out his first papers.
