to use the feet.
begin on the leg stroke by draw
ing them close TO the body and then
kicking them out clearly, first one
and then the other; reach them out
their full extent. press them close
together, keeping them quite
straight. with the toes pointed.
Before the force OF the leg stroke is
expended turn the hands with out
stretched arms and push forward
and sweep through the water to the
hips. This not only adds TO the
force OF the stroke, but is great
support to the body. AS your hands
reach the hips draw up the legs and
propel them as before, and as they
cleave the water reach out your arms
for another stroke down TO the hips.
and so on, alternating the two. BY
practice you will soon achieve
wonders.

How 60 rrcat chanols skIn..

Considering what useful thing a
channels skin is, it is astonishing that
there is SO much ignorance as to the
proper way of keeping it in order and
lengthening its term of service. Cham
OILS skins should never be left in water
after being used, but should be wrung
out and hung up to dry, being spread
out carefully, so as to leave no wrink-
les. They should not be used to wipe
off colors, as paint stains form hard
spots and make the skin wear out
sooner. Chamois was never intended
to wipe the face and hands with, which
makes it become greasy. Never put a
channels skin into warm water; any,
thing above luke-warm water will curl
it up, making it become thick, tough
and useless.

Amber.

Genuine amber is becoming scarcer
every year, and 1t will not be long be-
lore real amber cigar holder or pipe
stem will be a rarity and luxury.
The true amber is fossil gum which
was produced in large quantities by
trees having resinous sap, which
flowed down the trunk and gathered 10
masses at the roots 1t is found in the
ground of marshes and other places
where forests hourished in former
times. and is also secured by dredging.
The Baltic and Black seas and the Ger
man ocean formerly produced it in con.
siderable quantities. but their supplies
are now pretty much exhausted. There
Is little satisfaction, however, in
knowing that the limitation is lust as
good as the real On this account we
viii still be able to smoke pipes and use
cigar and cigarette holders that look
and taste just as good as the genuine
amber. Save for these purposes very
little amber is used in this country. but
in India and China large Jumps of the
product are in great demand. For some
cause or other an amber idol is far
more highly priced in these countries
than even golden gods, and as result
the finest pieces of amber go to the
east to make deities for the pagans.

A PROOF OF ASPHYXIATION.
DR.. Carl Barnes Makes q Statement in the
Cases of Moses Smith and Son.

DR.. Carl Barnes makes the following re-
ply to q recent paragraph relative to tho
bodies of Moses Smith and son. who died of
ssphy xiatIon, as it is supposed:
Those who are versed in post norton
appearance know that bodies. after death
from certain diseases, take on putrefactive
changes very early after death. This is
true In all those cases where the person
has died of some of the dynamic fevers,
or slow wasting diseases, such 81 ty phoid.
tuberculosis. etc. The bodies of per-
sons who have met with sudden death
seldom take on these putrefactive
changes for several days. This is because
the time, and il has been observed in those
cases here death has resulted from poison
ing from oarbOlic acid. or those whose
death has been caused by lightning. that
the bodies remain we'll preserved for Q con-
siderab BILE time. At the time Moses Smith
and his son met their death they
were in q healthy or physiological
state. consequently their bodies would not
take on these putrefactive changes as
quick they would had they died from
some fever or wasting disease. 1t 10 also
remarkable fact that the bodies of all those
who meet their death by asphyxia remain
inite time. This is because of certain
changes winch take place in the blood
at the time OF death. which renders
the blood in such condition that it re-
slsts slow combustion and putrefacsioD.
From these causes and phenomena, it will
be seen that on account of the bodies re-
naming in this state of preservation, 1t
only adds another proof to the theory that
Moses Smith and his son died of ssphy xia."
