the best swimmers were not TO be found
among those who were brought up near
salt waters, but among those whose
early lives had been spent in the interior
of the country. also noticed that near
ly all the young men from the Southern
and Southwestern States could swim,
while not half of the New Eng!1nders
were master of this art. The exnlana
ton discovered to be as follows:
"a man who has been training to swim
in fresh water, when once he gets in the
ocean feels as if motion in the water
presented no difficulties at all The sea
water is so much denscr than the fresh
that efforts that would send man along
but slowly in the latter give him a racing
speed in the former The fresh water
swimmers always beat those trained by
the ocean, The reason that there were
more of them was climatic. The cold
currents from the north render swimming
on our Ncw.England coast very uncom-
Portable except during three or four
months. In the South and Southwest,
however, bathing can be INDUCED in
much longer, and as a result nearly
every boy, especially those bred outside
of city, can swim. 1t was rather hard
for us to be beaten by fresh water swim
mers, but we had to take it, St.
Louis Post Dispatch.

The Waste at Panama.

Yin confirmation of the private account
of the deserted Panama Canal works,
published by us the other day, different
correspondent sends lis this extract from
another private letter: i" While in Colon
last voyage made a careful tour of the
Panama bogic, and the stores, engine
sheds, rolling and floating stock. Words
cannot paint my establishment at the
sight. | never saw anything so sinful in
nv life as to see all that stuff going to
rack and ruin. | went through one
'store'-of these there are six in az 1t
different paces-bigger than any ship
yard on Clyde could boast; all the things
lust as they came from the makers.
Files never unpacked; every engineers
tool you can think of-English, Frencs,
American was here--Whitworth stocks,
dies and taps, about twenty cases COM
plete, good as when they left the shop.
[ walked for mile over the only roata
way passable along the canal side, wig
the top of train of eight-wheel bogis
freight wagons, all sinking in, the
wheels disappeared in tropical under;
growth.
all these wagons are rotting beneath that
blazing sun. Engine steam sheds, full OF
fine, powerful eng ines, the sheds overru1
and inhabited now by snakes and theif
prey, the lizards, while the six-foot is
full of land crab holes. | saw eight fine,
large marine boilers, just as they had
been discharged from the X. NJ cargo
boat that brought them over, and the
complete part of set of big compo-
marine CINE, about 1000 horse power,
living On the shore; never been used;
never fitted in. l saw drydocks. splen-
didly built and equipped with fine,
expensive pumping plant. And why say
more ? Poor old Dc Lesseps's house on
the point looks very melancholy. -

St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1893-05-20

Charles Mohr, of the United States
Forestry Bureau, has an article in the
Engineering Magazine, which demands
the attention of Southern Legislators. He
says stupendous as the timber resources
of the South appear, it can but be evil
dent to anyone corversant with the facts
that we have entered already upon an era
involving their complete extinction, and
he wildly points out the threatening cal
antilles that will follow the disappearance
of our forests, not only in the extinction
of one of the South's important indus
tries, but in the climatic changes that are
already, perhaps, beginning to make
themselves felt.

AROUND TIE HOUSE.

To GET RID OF RATS AND MICE. THE
best way to get rid of rats and mice il
not to poison them. but to make then
thoroughly tired of the locality and so in
duce them to leave They are generally
too smart to eat poison, even when it is
prepared for their benefit in the most Sc
ductive fashion, but they are not so par
ticuIar about tartar emetic. When q
little of this is mixed with any favoritt
food they will eat as grcedily as though
the pbysic were not there, but in two OF
three hours there will be the most dis.
couraged lot of rats about the place that
anybody ever saw. The tartar will not
kill them, it only makes them deadly
sick. If you put your ear to their holes
you can hear them trying to vomit
sometimes they will crawl out and walk
about like seasick man, so i'll that they
do not seem to care what becomes OF
them But it disgusts them with the
whole vicinity, md as soon as they are
able to travel they march off and you sec
them no more.
How TO CARE FOR PGcTUREs.
cleaning house one of the principal cares
should be the pictures. 1t is too often
overlooked or left to the care Of the ser
wants, when the mistress should give it
her personal attention. Each picture as
it is taken down should be carefully
busted and the cord or wire wiped.
Then lay it on table, wash the glass
and polish it until it is perfectly clear.
Wipe the frame with soft cloth wet in
