SWIMMING FEAT OF A CHILD.
Astonishing Courage and Goodness Dis
 played by Little Girl.

The importance of early instruction in the art of swimming received striking illustration in the recent res- cue from drowning of a 6-year-old girl at Port Jefferson, N. Y, says Leslie's Weekly. The child saved was Clarice Petit, the little daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Petit of Brooklyn. Dr. Petit, who is a physical instructor in Adelphi college, was out sailing with his wife, three children, including Clariee, and maid, in his yacht, the Orient. Mrs. Petit was at the wheel
 when sudden gust caused the yacht to heel to port, and Clarice was thrown into the water. Dr. Petit sprang to her rescue, but the child had disap- peared. She soon came to the surface, however, near the dingey, where she sustained herself for moment on an oar. Hearing her father call her name, lhe little one let go her support and swan toward him, and the two, a mo- ment later, were picked up and safely restored to the yacht, but little the worse for their experience. The un- usual feature of the affair was the as- tonishing coolness and courage dis played by the child an evidence of the excellent physical training she has re- eeiyed Although the little swimmer sank beneath the waves several times after going overheard, she gave not the slightest sign of fear or excite ment, but seemed perfectly confident in her own power to sustain herself un- til help should come. When asked after her return to the yacht, why she had let go the oar, she said: T could not seem to swim fast enough with it." Of her experience under tht water she remarked: "It was dark down there, but I kept my mouth shut so that I would not swallow water 7 such presence of mind in 6-year-old child is as rare as 1t is remarkable.

Actress, Wedding Cards.

An actress playing small parts in a Berlin theater has turned her marriage to some account. The usual formal in- vitation has been suppressed in favor of something that reads like this; "Fraulein X. invites all her friends and admirers to see her debut in a piece called Marriage" The other part will be taken by Herr X. It will depend on the latter whether this play turns out a comedy or drama" One admires the courage of a man that could read this and then walk to the altar.

Bluejackets in a Hansom.

When two handsome, smooth-faced, smiling young bluejaekets jumped into a hanson for little spin, they set tied back into the cushions with evil dent enjoyment of sitting thus in the stern sheets instead of laboring at the oar. The cabman let down the win dows on both sides to give the boys plenty of air. Then he mounted to his seat, and away they went, rounding the first corner they came to close hauled on the starboard tack, and sail ing down Broadway at forty knots an hour.

Snakes Have No Fascinating Power.

cnakeS Have No FaSclnatin Power.
 Naturalists are not at all agreed up- on the point as to whether snakes are able to fascinate their prey. Certainly they do not possess the power to the extent that popular belief would nave 1t. Stories of the weird and mystic influence of a serpent's eye fall fiat in the face of scientific accuracy What can be said of snakes, however, is that their very appearances paralyzes the victim. 1t cannot move for fright, for its faculties are temporarily suspended There is no fascination about this however. It is fright and fright alone. Heard His Funeral Sermon Preached.
 The Rev. E. R. Johnson of Mulberry, Ind, one of the oldest ministers in this part of the state, is quite i'll. His ill., ness recalls the fact that he was once declared dead, and while lying in his coffin he heard his funeral sermon preached by a brother minister. MT. Johnson had suffered an attack of cat alepsy. He was conscious of what was taking place about him, heard the physician pronounce him dead and witnessed the preparations made for his burial. The spell was broken just after the eulogy had been pronounced. His restoration to health followed.

Sorrows of the Millionaire.

Look at the ways of the millionaire.
Given his million, he gives up his house
and builds himself a small, first class
hotel in some big city, which for the
greater part of the year is occupied by
servants. He next erects a country
palace at Lenox or at Newport. This
he calls a cottage, though 1t usually
looks more like public library or. a
hospital or clubhouse.
Then he builds himself camp, with
stained glass windows, in the Adiron-
dacks and has to float a small railroad
in order to get himself and his wife's
trunks into camp. Shortly after these
follows a bungalow modelled after a
French chateau, somewhere in the
south, and then yacht warranted to
cross the ocean In ten days and to pro-
duce seasickness IL hours sooner than
the regular ocean steamer becomes one
Of the necessities Of life.
Result, he never lives anywhere. To
occupy all his residences, camps and
bungalows he has to keep eternally on
the move, and when he thinks he needs
a trip to Europe he has his yacht got
ready and sends it over, going himself
on fast steamer. Oh, it's terrible
thing to be a millionaire and have no.
where to lay ones head, with every
poorer man envying him, many hating
him and hands raised against him ev-
erywhere! - Woman's Home Compan-

Sun Scald of Trees.

From Iowa State Register.
Sunscald of Trees: Mr.. John Love-
lace, of Ross, Iowa, writes:
AS we are bothered great deal with
what we call sunscald on our young ap-
pie trees, would like to inquire through
this department of your paper at what
season of the year this is caused, and
whether it is caused by thawing and
freezing in winter or the hot sun in
summer? If it is caused by the hot
summer sun, | think that have the
remedy to protect the body of the tree.
Last spring | planted large hill of corn
on the south side of each apple tree and
so far the trees seem to be doing better
than ever before. OF course the ground
must have sufficient FERTILIZER to supply
both trees and corn. 1 would like to
hear from some of the professors Of hor-
ticulture on this matter of sunscald o.
young apple trees.
Our observation for many years has
been that apple trees headed low and
leaned to the o'clock sun when set in
orchard, are not likely to sunscald, even
in the north part of the state. As to the
bihAC "LCh uOuo, may 10
in summer or winter With newly
transplanted trees with feeble circula-
ton, the scalding Is often done in sum-
mer, even with hardy shade trees with
high stems. But when the trees are
well established and the circulation ia
active in summer, the scalding comes
from the alternate freezing and thawing
OF the exposed stem in winter, always on
the south side. If people will persist III
planting high stemmed trees, the safest
protection is surrounding the stems
with lath woven together with wire, as
practiced extensively in Wisconsin.
This admits AIR to the stems, yet pre-
serves more even temperature Of the
inner Dark and is good protection from
rabbits. Wrapping the stems with WOW
ell wire mosquito netting has been prac-
ticed This admits air and is in all ways
satisfactory, but the short life of the
wire with such exposure makes it expen-
sive.

Eiddled Into ONCE.

If history be true, Governor Taylor
Of Tennessee Is not the only man who
fiddled himself into office. LOSING re-
lates that In 1913 he met at Oswego,
n. Y, Major Cochran, then nearly 80
years old, n son-in-law Of General Phil
lip Schuyler, who told the story Of his
election to congress during the admin
istration Of the elder Adams. A vessel
was to be launched on one of the lakes
In interior New York, and people came
from afar to see it. The young folks
gathered there, determined to have a
dance at night. There was a fiddle,
but no fiddler. Young Cochran was
an amateur performer, and his services
We're demanded. He gratified the joy
Gus company, and at the supper table
one Of the gentlemen remarked, in
commentator of his talents, that he
was eft for congress" The matter
was talked up, and he was nominated
and elected a representative in con-
gress for the district then comprising
the whole of New York west Of
Schenectady. He always claimed to
have "fiddled himself into congress-"
1t seems that history repeats itself,
according to the observation-disclosures
