Bis Fondness Tor Potato Patches Led Him
Into Trouble.
In the old home we once had a funny
little pig. He was generally to be seen
in the act OF running away. Hardly ever
do | remember seeing his face toward
me. He also had knack of getting
away from all the other pigs.
The field next the house-the "home
field, as we used to call twas kind
OF common for the hogs, cattle and
! fowls. The next was n potato field, and
the little pig had taken it into his head to
get into that one. How he got in no Que
could tell, for the field was we'll fenced
and there was no opening through which
he could enter How did he get in?
One day watched. He wandered in
a sort of unnoticeable way toward n
crooked old log, across which the fence
had been built.
Suddenly, though closely watching, l
lost sight of my little friend. But before
had recovered from my surprise was
astonished to see him in the potato field
"Well, now, that is very strange"
said. "How did he do it?''
went TO the old. log, and, 10, it was
hollow. The whole trick became quite
clear TO me-
went into the potato field to drive
him out, intending to steer him toward
the end of the log so that he might get
out the same way he got i'll. Here he
had the best of me entirely. He either

in despair, drive him out by the gate
and bring him home by long, round

play trick on him, and L did. | went
out very early and moved the log just n
little so that both ends would be i'll the

Then | stood at some distance off and
watched. | never was more amused in
my life. He separated himself from the

log and got in and through it and (as
he evidently thought) got out into the
potato field. / could understand this BY

for the potatoes. But, finding none, he
seemed somewhat puzzled.
Somehow it dawned on him that he
was still in the "home field" and he con-
cluded that he had not gone through the
log. So he went through it once more,
but only to find himself again in the
"home field"
This seemed to puzzle him more than
ever. He looked around in astonishment.
l could clearly see that expression on
his face. For moment he stopped and
was evidently thinking very hard. Once
more he got through the log, with the
same result of finding himself in the
"home field.

talked he would have cried out.

He stood quite still for few seconds,

see the bristles on his back gradually
rising up on end. Suddenly he uttered
a peculiar kind of "bock" and ran with
all his might toward the other pigs.
The little pig was never seen in that
part of the field again. Many time we
tried to drive him to the old log, but we
could not get him to go-Ladies' Jour

How Il LeStn to Swim.

J Every boy Ind yirl ought to tnow
how to SWIM and those who propose
learning this summer will find help in
the accompanying suggestions from The
Standard Designer:
A beginner should first get accus-
toned to the shock Of water. and tho
best way to do this is to wade into q
smooth. shallow place, and, standing
with the face to the shore, duck un-
der the water SO that the head and body
are both wet, holding the breath while
under the water and snorting on reach
ing the surface. The inclination to in.
hale or breathe in will be almost ire
sistible at first. but it must not be
yielded to.
Next select q spot with a smooth bot
tom and only a foot or two Of water
and stretch out in it full length. Keep
your finger tips on the bottom and raise
your body. You will be surprised to see
how easily you can do it. Back out
slowly to where the water is deeper, and
you will find the weight grow less and
less as the support under the body be-
comes greater
Swimming is easier with ths legs and
hands well under the water, the head
thrown back so as to be as nearly as
possible over the lungs. A good plan
when learning to swim is to begin by
keeping the tips of the fingers on the
bottom and swimming with the feet
only. Then, little by little, almost un-
consciously, one begins padding with
the hands until some day one suddenly
realizes that one is swimming. The best
plan is to swim always toward the shore
until comparatively master of the art
of swimming.
There is no better fun than diving,
always provided that one knows how to
do it. In India one of the pastimes Of
the people is diving into jumping wells,
where they indulge in swim. Their
method of diving is a very peculiar one.
AS they jump they spread and bend
their arms and legs until they look like
the frame of windmill, but just be-
fore touching the water they straighten
out, join their hands above their heads,
put their toes close together and drop
into the pool feet first like an arrow.
In the western world diametrical-
ly opposite plan is followed. The head
being the heaviest part of the body, it
is used as a plummet, and one must go
into the water head first and straight
or the result will be a terrible bruising,
such as was received by q youth who
came up from a dive with his skull
we'll nigh crushed in, only to learn
from his grinning audience that there
wasn't less than 80 feet of water any
where theroabout.
