The Lon ;est Swim on Record

The longest swim ever made without
the aid of artificial help, such as life
prcservers, life suits, etc., was made by
Samuel Brock, a Yarmouth eng glaud)
boacnman, fifty seven years ago, the
night of October IA, 1885. Ol the
afternoon of the l4th Brock had noticed
a ship at sea signaling for pilot. lie,
in company with nine otner seanen,
started for the vessel in the yaw Increase.
At o'clock they ca ne up alongside the
ship, which proved to be the Spanish
brig Paquctte de Bilboa. A pilot aud
three beachmcn were put on board anC
the Increase then headed for shore,
which was twelve miles distant.
At + 80 o'clock, when the nearest
land was still six miles off, a squal sunk
the Increase and drowned all on board
except Brock. From the way that food
tide was beating off shore it soou became
evident to the mau in the water chat il
he ever did manage to reach the land
alive be would have to swim about fifteen
miles in a roundabout way. A swell
sea drove him out over Crosssand Ridge
before the 9 o'clock bell tolled at St
Nicholas's Gate, and it was a long two
hours aud half later before the nearly
exhausted swimmer caught sight Of the
bell and light buoys themselves. 1t was
now nearly midnight, and Brock had
been in the chilly water about five hours.
Within the next hour he sighted a
vessel at anchor, and by au almost super
human effort managed to get within 30
yards, when be hailed the lookout. A
boat was Immediately lowered aud the
half-drowned man taken on board. The
vessel proved to be the Betsy of Sunder.
land, and her place of anchorage about
l64 miles from where the Increase cap.
sized. Thus it was proven that Brock
had made the remarkable distance oI
nearly seventeen miles in seven aud a
half hours, on that chilly October night.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Whenever sin can hide its head it
feels safe.
The shortest cut to happiness is to try
to give it.
No matter where faith walks it always
steps on a rock.
1t is the cowardly log who is always
showing his teeth.
Every man hates his own sin when he
sees it in another.
False worship will kill the soul as
quick as no worship.
The only heavy burdens are those we
try to carry ourselves.
One of the most beautiful sights on
earth is happy child.
No one can be made rich with money
who would not be rich without it.
The man who wilfuly continues in sin
is conscious that he deserves no help.
Not one mau in dozen will tell the
truth if you ask him why ne wears plug
hat.
The man who does his best in his
present place is on his way to better
one.
1t is good thing to know right
principles, but it is better thing to have
them.
With a man more money means
more to eat; with woman more to
wear.
The only people who are discontended
are those who are not doing their whole
duty.
1t is hard to believe that sin will
bite when it comes to us with gold in
its teeth.
There are SO many rcformers who want
10 30 as far away from home as they eau
to begin work,
The man who loves his neighbor as
himself can put up with thousand and
one things that nobody oise could staad.
One of the biggest fools in the world
is the man who thinks he can make
something by only putting seven quarts
in a peck.
1t would probably be hard to convince

doesn't have good deal to do vita

We may well believe that the first ex-
perlences OF nursing life are trying, even
for the strongest nerves. The rawlings
OF dchrious patients, tue moans Of the
restless, the crying of the children, all
seem to her to be unendurablc. Here the
newcomer has often to make her tirs.
close acquaintance with death.
Not long since a probationer .eft
London hospital because she found ont
that the patients sometimes died, and
she was afraid of dead people. The
humble domestic duties prove to others
eminently disttSteiul; but, as this guide,
philosopher and TREND observes, "to
polish brass and peel potatoe, is no,
soul-stirring labor, but it is .ooi disci
pliue."
There seems nothing like hospital
work for dispelling false and conven-
tional notions of what is gentecl and be-
coming. Unhappily, in some natures a
hard life seems to engendcr harsh dis
position. We hear of the cruelty Of
some Sisters who never like to see a
probatoner sitting down. For the
''Agging," however, OF which much
complaint has been heard, the remedy
is, we are assured, in the hands Of the
Sisters.
The etiquette of hospital life is de
strlbed as every strict" With regard
to the patients, it chiefly consists in not
talking too long to them especially in
not showing any familiarity or prefer.
ence for one over another. With regard
to the Sister, it consists in standing in
her presence and addressing her re.
spectfully.
What with the subjects OF studies, ex.
aminstions, diplomas, private, indrmary,
district and monthly nursing, besides the
duties of army aud navy nurses, massage
and other kindred topics, the student
will find that she has plenty to occupy
her. The ''mania for massage is, ii
seems, on the decline. --Loudon News.
