reaohins a Girl to Swim.

In deep water, under the care of an
experienced swimmer young girl
may be taught to swim in a much
shorter time than by practicing in
shallow streams says good authority
in the Ladies' Home journal. A rope
can be fastened around her breast in
such manner that it will neither
tighten nor unloose, and if courageous
enough, she can. thus prepared. plunge
in head first. The teacher will show
her the proper way TO use the arms,
and, finding herself protected by the
rope, she will feel more faith in the
exertion made. The aid of the hand
is, however. far better than this, as it
can be relinquished insensiblv. The
best method of teaching on this plan
is for a good swimmer to carry the
learner in the arms into the water, un-
til breast high, laying her nearly fiat
upon it, aud supporting her by placing
| one hand under the chest, at the same
time giving instruction as to the
proper motion of hands. arms and feet.
In few days the hand may be gradu-
ally withdrawn, and the girl-swimmer
able to do without it. There are ever
! Unlike Punch's, they begin after the

situation, and. other things not over
whelmingly against you, can reach

HOW Reer Is Adrertised.

A commercial drummer, one who
had been on the road for more than
twenty years, sees aud hears more
than the average man. and whose
headquarters are in Chicago, told this
the other evening at dinner: The biz
breWeries of this country employ men
to travel for them whose business it is
to Introduce their brew aud cry down
that of every other concern. These
men are not like drummers in other
professions, who go into place and
offer the goods. They are social in
their temperament, and they must be
men who understand how to handle
people and make themselves agreeable.
As an example: One of these men
goes into u place that is frequented by
people who sit about the tables and
drink beer. If the place does not keep
the brew of the agent he calls for it,
and expresses his surprise that such a
| place does not keep the best beer
made. He keeps this up until he sees
the proprietor, and he tells him if he
expects to get his trade he must keep
So aud Sos brew. Meanwhile the
agent has spent So or 81 at the table.
That is a good deal of money for one
man to spepd in beer saloon. The
proprietor of the place wants to catel
to such trade, and he orders the brew
which the agent had spoken of so high
ly. This sort of thing is done in 6
variety of places during the day anC
night. The agents expenses are paic
by the concern for which he is work
ing of course. He has to do a gooC
deal of treating, but he is too smart tt
drink very much himself He mus
never loose his wits. l know two o.
three such men and they are paid biz
salaries. = Chicago Tribune

African Fetish Men.

Established in reputation, the efforts
of the fetish man are next directed to-
ward the requirement of demeanor
calculated to impress his clients with a
sense of awe; he aims at assuming an
appearance at once grave and mys-
terious; he seldom speaks unless pro-
fessionally. and then always in gruff,
husky tone. He cultivates a medita-
tive look, says writer to the Centuyu.
and seems as if he were the victim of
great mental anxiety. At home he
keeps himself very select and occupies
his time principally among his charms.
There is generally some sign of his
calling just outside his hut. taking the
form. as rule, of an earthen vessel,
out of the neck of which sprout long
feathers-the pot being colored with
red. white and yellow chalks and the
orange-like tint derived from chewed
betel nut, the expectoration of which
substance is supposed to have a verv
pacifying influence upon the spiritual
evildoer.
Sometimes the fetish mans gesticu-
lations will be directed to a carved
image or some exaggerated form of
charm. Suspended from the rafters in
the interior of his hut are little parcels
of mystic character, smoked grimv by
the constant fires these people main
tain in their dwellings. And outside,
over the door, the same mysterious
character of ornamentation proclaims
to all the occupants pretentions TO
sorcery.

A Cool Cloth Without Ice.


One of the most useful hints for
sick-room atte ldance is very seldom
known outside of hospital ward, and
not even there in many cases; the hint
is how to obtain a cold cloth without
the use Of ice. Every one knows that
in fevers or weakness cold cloth on
the forehead or face, OF base of brain.
is one of the most comforting things
in the world. In the tropical hos
pitfalls. and where ice is scarce, all that
is necessary is to wet linen cloth,
wave it to and fro in the air, fold it,
and place on the patient. Have an
other cloth ready. waving it to and
fro, just before applying it; these
cloths have a more grateful and last
ing coldness than those made so by the
burning cold produced by ice.-Tbe

EATING THE "REsPEcr."
An Incident of the Boyhood of Heine. the
Celebrated Poet.

The mother of Heinrich Heine, the
poet, was particularly careful about
matters of etiquette, and her boys
were brought up with great strictness
and occasional severity. Among other
things she was extremely decided in
ner ideas of table etiquette. and her
children's manners in this regard were
then thought quite irreproachable.

Unfortunately for him, he had been

you pull the string and the gun does
the rest. But they never are in range,
and you have to say right, ''left, y

cranks and the wheel grind away until
the fortunate moment arrives that the
two sights and the target are caught
on range. and the gun is fired. OI
course they never are in range when
you think they are. but that is the way
to fire the gun. The writer fired one
of the Concord's six-inch guns several
times and hit Long Island sound every
time, which was considered rather

chiquanga-A Queer African Dish

Saleh, Stanley's attendant, said it
was curious to watch Stanley's white
officers when introduced to chiqmango
kind of pudding made of boiled ma
nioc root. Neither the taste nor odor
of this food is at all inviting at first;
but necessity brings all whites as well
as blacks to regard it as the bread of
life before many months of residence
in Centra Africa.
Sometimes when deprived of it for
many days have often hailed piece
of toasted chiquanga as a real luxury,
and | have been rather disgusted with
newly arrived whites whose upturned
noses condemned my barbaric taste.
When Stanley's white officers had
finished their small stock of timed
provisions and rice. they were abso-
lutely compelled to fall back on the
manioc dishes; but the sourness of
taste of this African pudding is a
serious barrier to the enjoyment of it,
and some stubborn persistence is re-
quired before the white man halls che

white travellers, these officers began tC

diet, they regretted bitterly that they

Keeping House in London.

An American taking house in Lon
don will learn at the outside that she
will have to keep more servants in the
old country than in the new, says John
Gilmer Speed, in The Ladies' Home
Journal. These servants are trained,
and one who is willing to engage to
do many things is usually willing to
take such position because she is in
competent in everything. A small
family there would keep cook. a
chambermaid and waitress. The
washing would be put out and char
woman would be called in once week
TO help with a general cleaning and
clearing up. A very good cook can
be had for one hundred dollars year,
chambermaid for sixty dollars, and a
smart waitress for eighty dollars. The
charwoman will be paid two shillings,
or fifty cents, day, and given her
beer and food. The washing for such
family will cost from three to four
dollars a week. In America such a
family would have two women-one a
cook. who would also wash and iron.
and another as chambermaid and wait
ress. The servants we have here do
more, but they do it more roughly and
are totally deficient in that silent sub
servience which makes the trained
English domestic perform the usual
household duties with automatic celer-
ity. Generally, you have to have a
greater number of servants there than
here, but wages are less and the feed
ing costs less. There the servants do
not expect to eat just what is provided
for the family. Not at all. When the
marketing is done special things are
bought for the servants, and they have
table of their own. the meals being
served at different hour. and the
quality of food very much less in cost.
They eat very little meat, most of it
salt; the cheapest kind of fish, and
then they have potatoes and greens
and puddings with treacle. And they
are provided with beer. unless in en-
gaging servants it is stipulated that
| the engagement is without beer''

SAVING A BABY's LIFE.
A Carrier Pigeon Utilized to Send for the
Needed Medicine.

An accident occurred recently in
the family of G. F. Marsh, the dealer
in japanese curiOsities at 625 Market
street and member of the Pacific Coast
Pigeon society, which says the San
Francisco EGdnle'1eq', proved to him in
most impressive manner the valua-
bic services which may sometimes be
rendered by the carrier pigeon, and
probably explains some of his en-
thusiasm in that direction.
His little baby boy was taken sud-
denly sick with most alarming symp-
toms of diphthera. The mother,
watching by the bedside of the little
one, dispatched message tied on a
carrier pigeon to her husband at his
store on Market street. In the mes
sage she wrote the nature OF the chifd's
alarming illness, and made an urgent
appeal for medicine to save its life.
The bird was started from the home
of the family near the Cliff house, five
miles from Mr.. Marsh's street store.
The bird flew swiftly to the store,
where Mr.. Marsh received it. He read
the message, called doctor, explain
ed the child's symptoms as his wife
had detailed them in her message, and
received the proper medicine; then,
tying the little vial containing the
precious medicine to the tail of the
pigeon, he let it go.
The pigeon sped away through the
air, straight for the Cliff. 1t made the
distance-five miles-in ten inmates. a
distance which would have required
the doctor three-quarters of an hour to
cover.
In twenty minutes from the time the
mothers message was sent to her hus-
band the baby was taking the medi'
cine, and thus its life was saved.
Naturally enough Mr.. Marsh is
partial to pigeons, for he considers
that he owes his baby's life to one.
