II ought not TO talk about people be-

was very dull about some things. Well,
II played and played, and the girls
danced and seemed to enjoy it. I be-
self?" Mr.. Rabbit turned to MIS-. Mead
ows inquiringly.
Il expect I shook my foot a little, -
said Mrs. Meadows with sigh. Il was

''They danced and danced until they
were tired of dancing" Mr.. Rabbit re-
lsumed, but there sat Brother Terrapin
as quiet as if he were asleep. Well,

now-I was certainly vexed. But |
didn't let on. And between tunes I did
my best to worry Brother Terrapin.
4" Ladies, says /, don't make so
much fuss. Let Brother Terrapin get
his nap out. You'll turn a chair over
directly, and Brother Terrapin will give
a jump and fall off the shelf and break
some of the furniture in his house
This made the girls laugh very much,
for they remembered the old saying
that Brother Terrapin carries his house
on his back. Don't laugh so loud says
T., Brother Terrapin has earned his rest.

AN EMpERoR's HANDWRITING.
.[Memoirs-Baron de Meneval.l

[MemoirS-BarOn de MeneVal.I
Napoleon's writing was a collection
of letters, unconnected with each
other. and unreliable. Half the let
ters to each word were wanting. He
could not read his own writing again,
or would not take the trouble to do So
If he was asked for some explanation,
he would take his draft and tear it up,
or throw it into the fire, and dictate it
over again-the same ideas, it is true,
but couched in different language and
different style Although he could
detect faults in the spelling of others,
his own photography left much to be
desired. 1t was negligence which had
become a habit; he did not want to
break or tangle the thread of his
thoughts by paying attention to the
details of spelling.
Napoleon always used to make mis-
takes in figures, absolute and positive
as arithmetic has to be. He could
mathematical problems, and yet he
could rarely total up a sum correctly
It is fair to add that these errors We're
not always made without intention.
For example, in calculating the num-
Der of men who We're to make up his
battalions, regiments or divisions, he
always used to increase the sum total.
One can hardly believe that in doing
so he wanted TO deceive himself, but
he often thought it useful to eXaggerate
ate the strength of his armies. 1t was
no use pointing out any mistake of
this kind; he refused to admit it, and
+obstinately maintained his voluntary
arithmetical error

THE INDIAN STROKE.

After he has acquired this swimming on
the side, and on the back, floating,
treading water and diving will come in
due time. Probably the fastest stroke is
the one Professor SundStrom acquired
from the Indians on the Columbia river
in Oregon, and which he Immediately
introduced as distinctly American
method. With this stroke a man usu-
ally turns on his right side, sends for
ward his right arm; then his legs and
at the same time his left arm with hand
fiat against the water. When he pre-
pares to draw in his legs and his right
arm, he takes his left arm, which he has
carried back as far as possible, out of
the water and brings it in front of his
head.
Remember in swimming to breathe
through your nose, and from your chest
1t is not policy to swim within two
hours of meal time, nor to stay in the
water more than twenty minutes. If
you have any opportunities for learning
to swim, make use of them, for who
knows how soon this knowledge may be
of the utmost value to you. Remember
that swimming, once learned, is never
forgotten. AS a parting injunction, do
not imagine that the proper way of
learning to swim is by being suddenly
tossed into deep water. All swimmers
acknowledge that one boy may profit by
that, but ninety-nine will be so com
pietely shocked that they may never
venture In the water again, and other
effects even more serious are likely to
follow

with the tips of the fingers; let the
body assume a horizontal position, at
the same time sinking entirely below
the surface. With one arm supporting
him, he can strike out boldly with the
legs and other arm. In short time he
viii be able to strike out with both
arms. He will soon be able to take
three or four strokes without going I'M
der, and after that a dozen, when his
further progress depends only on the
amount of practice he gets.
In the breast-stroke the arms are
stretched out in front, the palms down
ward, the thumbs touching, after infiat-
ing the chest, the swimmer launches
forward, striking out with his erms.
Both pairs Of limbs are used simultane-
ousiy, that is, as the arms strike out,
the legs are drawn together, so that the
knees are spread wide apart, somewhat
after the fashion of a frogs. When the
arms are brought back into place under
the chest, the legs are drawn up and
the feet brought together. AS the arms
are extended the feet are pusherd out
with a quick jerk, giving a, strong impe-
tus to the body The breast-stroke is all
that is necessary for novice to know.
