DRY SWIMMERS NEED NO OCEAN.

Lie ON Their Backs on n Rug and
Achieve Good Results.
From the New York Herald
There are countless number of women
in the world who are deprived OF the &C.
knowledged benefits that accrue from the
exercise Of swimming, because they fear
through timidity or some other cause to
enter the water. For all such champion
mas at last appeared, in the person of a
fashionable uptown physician, who has hit
upon the very novel idea of dry swimming.
That the idea is practical one is shown
from the fact that the medical man al
ready has large number of patients who
have taken advantage of it, and with whom
dry swimming has become an everyday
routine.
Dry swimming is all that the name i'm
plies, and needs no further or more special
arrangements than a few preliminary in
structions. a heavy rug, an easily arranged
costume and the seclusion of ones own
apartment.
Lies on a Rug.
First as to the costume. 1t can be any
sort Of sleeveless garment, sufficiently
loose to give freedom of motion to body
and limbs. flexible. hight and short. The
rug is required for the double purpose Of
giving q resting place to the body and
adding elasticity to the motions to be gone
through with. The dry swimmer lies with
her back on the rug on the floor, and as
closely a. possible produces tho motions
Of swimmer in the water, varying them
only when the changed conditions make 1t
nessary.
From the time these motions are Der.
fectly mastered the real benefits to the
dry swimmer begin, by q Strengthening
and Qutckened natural development Of
almost every muscle Of the body and q
scientific toninS OF the nervous system.
The first motions that are taught are
those Of the arms. Allowing the arms to
rest beside the body, they are first made

the head, with the palms of the hands
close together; deep breath is taken by
the swlm:Eef at the same time. As the
arms are returned TO their original posi-
ton the breath is exhaled. In this enc
action not only are the muscles of the
al m affected, but the lungs strengt hened
ny the unusual motion. 1t is unusual. for
WI lie ii may have been practiced 10y many
as they stand erect. the effect on the re-
Ginning body is vastly different
In the next series of motions the palms
of the hands are placed on either check,
then the &rms are shot suddenly upward.
until the palms are brought together far
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-08-01

These are the motions in detail hut the
execution of them by an experienced dry
swimmer is so truly wonderful that they
never would be recognized. The idea is to
perform them rapidly, one series after an
other, breathing appropriately at the same
time The sight of an experienced dry
swimmer is one calculated to provoke
laughter unless one understands the bene-
fits derived.
The physician who brings forward the
idea predicts that dry swimming will grow
TO toe regular treatment, prescribed by
all practitioners Of advanced medical ideas
The patients who have tried il already
speak highly Of it.

Comes

\N/ith n better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentlc efforts-plcasant cfforts-
rightly directed. There is comfort i'm
the knowledge, that So many forms Of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipatcd condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilit ating the
organs on which il acts. Ii is therefore
all important, in order TO get IT'S hene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. IL
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if i'm need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely

Weiser's Early Masons.

The recent banquet given blythe
Masonic order on the occasion of in
stalling officers, brings the institution
into enough public notice that word
about it's first organization is of some
interest
On December %, 1886, one Mr..
James H. Sheppard, late arrival
from Kansas, died in Weser. He was
an ardent Mason and his last wish
was that he should be buried by that
order.
There was no lodge here at that
time, but few Masons heard of the
strangers wish and an immediate
move was made among the faithful
to see if it were possible to gather
enough to conduct the interment
Brethren soon found each other out,
and a small number, consisting of
Beck Jenney, Alison Sears, Marsh
Dickerson, E. E. Utley, A. B. An
derson, Marion Johnston, Frank
Jenne, M. 7. Harlan, and perhaps
one or two others, rallied together.
They found themselves entirely with
out Masonic paraphernalia, other than
that which is deposited in faithful
breasts, but they made shift to lay
the departed brother away with an
Gent rites
This at once brought up the ques-
ton of the need of a lodge, and the
matter was frequently thought ano
spoken of for some time, finally cul
minating in meeting of Free Mason'
on June 10, 1887, at Williams hall
for the purpose of petitioning the
Grand Lodge for charter. +. s
Jenne was secretary of the meeting
and f. G. Wilkie chairman. e. S
Jewell, M. Johnston and b. NJ. Jen
ney were appointed a committee t.
attend to the petition and to motif,
the Masons of this vicinity of thu
action and to urge them to deposi
dimits with the committee and accom-
pany the same with So. In due tim
the charter was granted and a strug
Cling lodge was organized which ha
grown into the present fiourishln;
institution.

Hearing to the Cherokees.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The presi-
dent has accorded a hearing to a
delegation of the Cherokee council
composed of G. w. Benje, E. T. Har-
ris, Roach Young and Joseph Small
wood, who came to protest against
the pending senate bill permitting
the continuance on their lands of
white squatters.
Mr.. Benje, the spokesman, told
the president how his people had
been obliged to give up much of their
lands to the whites and how
they had suffered from the incoming
squatters.
The Cherokees had been obliged
by the government to pay the costs
of the improvements made by these
squatters in return for a promise to
eNpel them from their lands under
the treaty provisions; yet after pay
ing So9 900 from their treasury to
settle such claims, it was now
proposed to authorize by law the
continued presence of the squatters.
The president expressed much in
terest in the matter and requested
the delegation to submit their
grievances in writing for his con
sideration.

They Bought Coffee.

A few days ago a young man
alighted from the train at Wynne-
wood, having a number of suspicious
looking quart bottles in his possess
ion. Presently there gathered about
him those who thought holidays were
nau ght without something to cheer
the inner man. In confidential and
"wink-the-other-eye" manner he in
formed the boys that he had a little
"coffee" with him, which they could
have for one dollar a quart. Now
nearly all of them had heard it
called tea; but "coffee" was syn
onymous enough to suit, and soon
the peddler's stock was exhausted.
The vendor was taking no chances,
as was evident to his victims when
they discovered that the bottles did
contain coffee, indeed, and very
weak decOction, at that.
1t is reported that several of the
McGee boys were taken in by the
same individual.-Pauls Valley

Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
SO as to sell SO far, nearly 100, 900 of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,-
600 more of his make; that means a
business of $50, ,OOO, 900, il we average
them at S100 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F..
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for
