Advice for the Bather.

The usual advice to swimmers, "Keep
your head above water" contains just two
words too many. "Keep your head" is all
that is necessary, and is much preferable to
"Keep your breath" Your breath may be
regained even after your face has turned
horrible color, never to be forgotten when
once seen. But if, in water crisis, SWIM
mer loses his head, Providence itself can
scarcely amend his blunders

He is by no means the "Monster of
Cruelty" which certain ignorant newspapers
of the United States have represented him
in big type and glowing head lines to be.
On the contrary, he is an exceedingly mild
hammered, well-educated and peace-loying
gentleman, who has lived all his life among
these people Che is now in the neighborhood
of 40 years old and has never before been
accused of more arrogance or cruelty than
is the natural heritage of the native Chilean
whose dollars, even, bear the characteris-
tic motto "por razon de fuerza." The pres
ent struggle is not of his seeking, for GER
tainly nothing could be more detrimental
to his personal interests; and so far from
prosecuting honest citizens, as has been al
legged, it is eminently his policy to make no
new enemies. But this gigantic rebellion
he must put down if possible, though such
CHASTITY scenes as that enacted in the plaza
on the last day OF May, occur again and
again.
1t should be remembered that Chileans do
not fight like Northern soldiers. They are
vengeful lot, and cruel as grim death
when once aroused by taste of blood; and
the fact of being on one side or the other of
this unholy conflict has not changed their
natures The Government troops so far,
have committed fewer atrocities than those
"a WIG 'epeis, prIncipaliy, no douDt, from
lack of opportunity; but the history of all
past wars in which Chile has figured vic
toriously, is an appalling one-of butchery
worthy of Sepoys, cutting the throats of the
wounded, torturing prisoners, dishonoring
women, burning and sacking cities, and
wantonly murdering.the helpless and unof-
Tending.
One Side as Cruel as the Other.
In this latest struggle 1t probably wants
only the opportunity of victory in any en-
gagement to prove that one side can be as
barbarously cruel as the other. Civilized
soldiers would stand small chance in a bat
tie with Chileans, and will do well to re-
main at a respectful distance from the terri
