Learning to Swim at rs.
From the Philadelphia Record

Science and proper exercise are con-
ducive to extreme longevity and health
fulness." said Superintendent Payne, OF
the Natatorium. while am very young
man myself. 1 can remember not many
years ago when a man was considered VI y
old at the age Of 60 years Thanks TO
science and a prOner regard for healthy
exercise, a man = not considered in his
prime now until ne has reached the age
Of 20 or rs years.
Take our swimming class, for exam
pie. Come in here any afternoon and can
show you something that will bolster up
my assertion. We have one pupil in the
afternoon class who Is over IS years old.
He started to take swimming lessons about
two weeks ago, and picked 1t up as quick
ly as youngster Of 10. There Is not one Of
our pupils who enjoys himself as much as
the old gentleman, who is as hearty and
healthy as a youth of &c. This gentleman
told me that he was inclined to be sickly
about four years ago until he took up
proper exercise, and now he bids fair to
live TO be over 100.
But if this old gentleman lives to reach
the century mark, how long will some of
the youngsters live who come here? We
have a sturdy lot of giants, who tumble
about in the big tank every day, who
range in age from A to 6 years. They can
all swim like fish"

SOME POSTAL DON'Ts.
Hints for Letter Writers From the
POstOfHce Departments.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Every day about 5000 letters are received
at the New York postofiice addressed in
correctly. AS a result Postmaster Dayton
will distribute cards telling people how to
send mail matter.
Here are some of the suggestions on the
card:
Don't mai lany letter until you are sure
that 1t is completely and properly ad-
dressed. Don't place the address so that
there Will be no room for the postmark.
Don't in the hurry of business. in ad-
dressing a letter write the name of your
own state upon II instead of that OF the
person addressed-a very common error.
Don't fail to make certain that your
manner of writing the name of an office
or state may not cause II 10 be mistaken
for one similar in appearance. 1t is often
better to write the name in full.
Don't fail, if you are In doubt as to the
right name of the Office for which your
letter is intended. to consult the Postal
Guide, which any postmaster will be
pleased to show you.
Don't fail to give the street and house
number OF the person for whom mail mat
ter Is intended in addressing it to a city
or large town.
Don't mail any letter until you are sure
Don't fail to place the stamp on the
upper right hand corner.
Don't write on the envelope 'In haste"
Care of postmaster" etc. 1t does no
good and tends TO confusion In the rapid
handling of mall matter.
Don't fail to bear in mind that il is I'M
lawful to inclose matter of a high class In
one that is lower-e. g., merchandise in
newspapers.
Don't mail any letter unless your adj
dress, with a request to return is upon the
face of the envelope, so that in case of
on-delivery, ii will be returned directly
to you.
Don't fail to give your correspondents
your full address, so that a new postman
cannot fail to find you.
Don't fail to inform your postmaster OF
any change in your address.
Don't trust to the fact that you are an
"old resident" ''well-known Citizen" etc,
but have your letters addressed in full.
Don't fail IL you intend to be away from
home for any length of time TO inform
your postmaster what disposition shall be
made of your mail
Don't delay the delivery of any mail mat
ter that you may take out for another.
Don't fail to sign your letters in full, so
that If they reach the dead letter office
they may be promptly returned.
Don't when you fail to receive an ex-
pected letter. charge the postal service
with the loss until you have learned from
your correspondent all the facts in regard
to its mailing, contents, etc.
Much information also is given by these
cards regarding the mailing of parcels to
this and foreign countries.

Fire Only Made Her Cool.
From the Now York World.

Lilly Dale. N. Y.-Mrs. Mary Suydam
Green, of Chicago, amazed a large audi
ence here last night by a demonstration
of her fire test" Physicians pronounced
her hands, arms and face free from chem
icals or any preparation that would defy
the effect of flames. A large lamp was
lighted and the chimney heated piping
hot. Mrs. Green, who appeared to be I'M
der hypnotic influences. then took the
heated chimney in her hands and rolled
IL over her bare face and arms with appar-
ent relish. Then she removed the chimney
from the lamp and pushed her hands and
arms twenty times through the fame.
Women spectators screamed Historically,
but the performer was cool as a refriger-
ator. Then holding her mouth close TO the
blaze she inhaled IL with seeming relish.
Her hands. arms and face were not even
pink from the effect OF the test" when
she was released from the hypnotic lnfu-
ence.

The CornstnIk Game.

New York Letter. in Pittsburg Dispatch.
The cornstalk game was new arrival
in Wall street to-day. A stalk OF green
corn at least twelve feet high was brought
into the stock exchange at noon. Two
brokers carried this product of the irri-
gated prairie between them amid the
shouts of the other brokers and placed Il
against the post around which the stock
OF the Burlington and Quincy company Is
dealt In. The railroad is one Of the great
corn carriers OF the county and the
stock has had big advance, based on the
outlook for the biggest corn crop the
country has ever had. The big growth
was exhibited as a specimen OF this sea
sons corn crop for miles upon miles in
Nebraska. A. this the bulls tossed their
heads and howled, while the bears sucked
tbeir paws, eODtenting themselves by In
tiInating that cOrn-stalks about that size
could be cut In Jersey. The green corn
game can be worked IN Wall street just
as easily as the green goods game -
worked W town.

ONE PHASE OF DREAMS.
Why Many Events May Seem to BE
Crowded Into Seconds.
No.. A.. Nrour Uov1y c,,V

Victor Egger, in a recent issue Of the
Revue Philosophique, seeks to show that
there is nothing mysterious about dream
of a few seconds in which many events
seem to happen and years seem to elapse.
He first calls attention to the fact that
the dreamer can seldom be depended upon
for accuracy in relating the details of the
dream, and that the reported words heard
or spoken are to be accepted with great
reserve. The tendency of the Weakened
dreamer is TO fill In his dream unconscious
ly by act of waking reason. He adds rea-
sonable details and tends to correct the
indifference Of his visions by the expert
ence of hts waking hours. Few persons
set down their dreams on paper immedl-
ately upon waking. and as dreams are
peculiarly evanescent. when they are mar
rated some hours later the tendency Is
20 supplant from the imagination what
memory cannot furnish.
Mr.. Egger. by way OF illustrating his ar
gument describes several dreams as re-
ported BY the dreamers. and endeayors

A Mechanical Horror.

Perhaps the strangest of all
clocks is to be found in India, being
one in the possession of a Hindoo
Prince. Near the dial of an or
binary looking clock is large gong
hung on poles, while underneath,
scattered upon the ground, is pile
of artificial human skulls, ribs,
legs and arms, the whole number
of bones in the pile being equal to
the number of bones in IL human
skeletons.
When the hands Of the clock in
dictate the hour of i, the number of
bones needed to form a complete
human skeleton come together with
snap, and by some mechanical
continuance the skeleton springs up,
seizes a mallet, and, walking up to
the gong, strikes one blow. This
finished, it returns to the pile and
and again falls to pieces.
When 2 o'clock comes, two skel-
etons get up and strike, while at
the hours of noon and midnight
the entire heap springs up in the
shape of II skeletons, and strikes,
each one after the Others blow on
the gong, and then falls to pieces
as before. Exchange.

Malicious MISCHIEF.

Some of the young. hoodlums
about town are preparing for term
in the county Jail. One night last
week rome of them tied up the bell
rope on the school house and then
sawed some of the rungs of the lad
der that leads to the belfry in two.
Fortunately the trick was discover
ed before anyone tried to climb the
ladder, and nobody received fall.
Prictical jokes are all right SO long
ais they do not endanger life or
limb, but when they go this far it
is about time to take proceedings to
call halt. Fun is fun, but malic-
ious tricks which destroy property
should not be classed as such.

Laws or NArURE sUPREME.
m They shut or a Mans water He
Must stand II.

The Supreme Court of California
has rendered an important decision
in water case. Parks Creek, in
Siskiyou' county, had for many
years flowed through the land of L.
j. Caldwell, and a branch of the
stream passed on to the land of
James Wholey. During food
which occurred four or five years
age, the course of the stream was
changed from Wholey's land. He
sued for q right to enter Caldwell's
possessions and turn the water back
into its old channel, on the ground
that he was entitled to the use of
the waters accustomed to flow in
the creek. This right was granted
him by the Superior Court. The
case was then. appealed to the SUI
preme Court and that Court reverses
the opinion ofthe lower Court and
holds that riparian rights draw
their support from the laws of
Nature, but do not rise superior to
those laws. When by the operation
of natural laws the flow of water is
lost the rights are lost with it, the
new channel becomes the natural
channel and the water cannot be
diverted back into the old channel.
The Court illustrates the principle
by showing that if the stream had
changed its course above the Cald-
well property, the plaintiff could
not expect to cut through all the
intervening property to get the
water back to his land.
This decision is of importance to
those claiming riparian rights on
streams whose channels. are liable
to be changed by freshets, as natural
causes might deprive them of the
use of waters to which they had
undisputed title for years.

On Thursday night of last week
several mounted men went to the
sheep ranch Of the Wheeler Bros,
some Is miles north of Mineral Hill,
Eiko county, and ordered out the
herder, when they destroyed the
tent and cooking utensils, and threw
the provisions into the creek. The
men and their dogs then ran the
sheep (some 2,600) down the mount
ain side and into the creek, where
the sheep was piled up and $50 of
them were snothered, and so more
were injured by having their legs
broken The Wheeler brothers say
they have no idea who the parties
we're that committed the vicious act,
as they had not been notified or
even requested to move their sheep
from that locality. This is high
handed act, and the guilty, parties
should be arrested and severity pun
