tried m actual contest at the N. Y. A. C.. though devised by Capt. Weeks and Mir. Sundstrom. The rules contemplate that each man shall wear on entering the water an undershirt, starched whit~ shirt buttoned behind, detachable starched collar buttoned fore and aft and four in hand necktie tied "by hand" vest with not less than five buttons and a coat with not less than four, all buttoned; stockings, drawers, trousers and braces, all buttoned, and high shoes laced all the way up and tiet! in q double bow knot. To get rid of all this encumbrance before beginning the race takes some time, yet the ability to do this in ease of accident might easily save a swimmers life. When q mqn falls into the water he is generally fully clothed
 Sometimes Mr. Sundstrom sets his boys 'reseuing" each other. If the drowning man, or the one who pretends he is is quiet and reasonable enough to do what he is told to do, he rests his hand lightly on his rescuer's shoulder while the latter swims forward to the tank edge or the float. The sham drown ing man, however, usually prefers to make great fuss, in which case there is no way but to overpower him first and then turn him over on his back so that his nose will stay out of water. The res cuer then turns on his own back, with his left hand under the chin holds the victims chin firmly on his own chest and swims ashore thus with the use of both feet and one hand
 In case of real drowning, the person in the water can be made reasonable either by being stunned Ey blow with the fist or being tucked until he is half drowned and insensible. Neither of these methods is favored by the sham drownees, though the second is some- times practiced.
 The methods of resuscitating half drowned persons taught in all the ath- letie clubs in New York and in the first aid to the injured" courses everywhere are pretty much the same The victim is first turned on his face and drained of what water will run out of his nose and mouth. Then he is turned on his back his mouth pried open, and by nasty sweep of the finger cleared of the froth and slime in the throat. The chest is then pressed to expel the air then the arms are pulled high above the head when the. chest, thepressure beinq

harness to go about the man-fish's head. The line is made fast to ring in the harness at the top of the mans head and the fisherman on the edge of the tank is required to reel in the fish with an ordinary tarpon rod, reel and line. The fish must not catch the line with his hands, but he can do about anything else. The angler must bring him near enough to gaff or touch in 15 minutes. When the game was tried at the N. Y. A. c. tank, Charles Knoblauch as the fish broke the tarpon line of Fisherman Thomas Williams in eight minutes and was adjudged the winner; but both had lots of fun first, the one swimming, div, ing and jerking his head, the other pay ing out, reeling in and easing his tackle, The Iookers-on enjoyed it too.
 A "tank evening" gives lots of time for variety. The speed swimming may be passed with a word. That's common enough. So is plain diving, but the dis tance plunge" requires some nerve, while degree of skill difficult for one who hasn't tried it to appreciate is called for by the '~hoop dive" In this trick, Q hoop of considerably less than circus size is held several feet under water, and inclined at considerable angle. The problem is to dive so as to pass through the hoop without touching it. Every swimmer knows how powerfully the re- sistance of the water defects the body from the direction in which it strikes. Hoop diving probably takes as much practice as any trick the average swim mer is likely to attempt.
 A hurdle race can easily be arranged in any water. It may be simply swimming race including diving under hurdles sunk three or four feet in the water off fun is the main object-it may become an obstacle race with hoops to dive through, hurdles to dive under, ladders suspended over the water to climb and all manner of "stunts" to promote good humor in the spectators
 A game requiring great brawn and en- d1lrance is the tank variation of the tug of-war. Few tanks are large enough tc accommodate more than three men on q side. In outdoor waters, even, four would be as large a team as could con veniently be handled. The rope is at taehed to a belt around the waist of each man at such distances as shall give each pIenty of room to kick without striking the man behind. The anchor or heaviest man, on each team is at the end of the rope, and the rules are pre- cisely like these of tug-of-war upon terra tirraa-
 A gan,e having direct bearing upon life-sasing n actual practice is an ob- stacle race where all the swimmers enter the water fully clothed and must swim a certain distance, arriving at the goal stripped of all but their bath ing trrs.ks This race has never been

USE FOR OLD TABLECLoT4s

Much Can Be Done with Linen How
 ever Shabby.
 There are few ways to utilize table cloths that are no longer considered worthy of dalning except through the relegation of gifts of them to the house. hold medicine chest or to the city hos pitals. It should always be borne in mind that old linen is worth it's weight in gold at the hospitals.
 But the tabecloths that are much worn in the center will often have edges that are really stout and strong enough to make napkins that will prove amply good to find their way next fall into the children's school lunch baskets. The school lunch basket, it is we'll known, is fatal spot to place napkin that is the least valuable.
 The towls with much-worn centers make excellent washcloths, and, if doubled and bound with tape, admira- ble eating bibs for the small boys and girls of the family. The old towl wash cloths are much better minus hems, deep oyercasting and linen floss being a more comfortable finish for the edges.
 Hemstitehing on linen is such a dainty mode of finishing table linen that the neat housewife is ever proud to have her very best tablecloths and napkins thus finished dozen damask nap kins to be hemstitched will furnish the incest kind of pickup work when one is away on one's summer vacation.
 The heavy Holland linen is coming in to use considerably, and if it is not mere sham of the genuine it is fabric much to be desired, as once bleached it always remains so, and, literally, will last ages.-Detroit Free Press.

City For a Season.
A relative of one of the members of
the Hawaiian National Band received
a letter by the Rio de Janeiro, dated
August 81, saying that the boys were
in Denver, Colorado, where they had
an engagement that was paying them
good money.
telegram was received from New York
city seeking to make arrangements
with the boys for a season at that
place Negotiations had not been clos
ed when the letter was sent, but the
writer was sure the terms asked would
be accepted.
The Hawaiian National Band boys
were expecting to get back to Homo
lulu in the month of October, but the
continual demands on them has made
their time of departure for home a
mere matter of conjecture.
In speaking of their success, the
writer referred to the hard luck ex-
perienced by the boys in the State of
Ohio, and that although it was pretty
hard on them, still he believed it was
the cause of their subsequent success.
