swim Is to throw the hands out of the
water. All such effort serves to increase
the danger. When thrown into deep water
one should be perfectly inactive for a short
time. The head will soon rise above the
surface. and at that instant the. hands and
feet should be employed in nearly the same
manner as In walking. the hands beating
the water at the sides and the feet climb
ing imaginary stairs. The hands should
never be raised above the surface of the
water. and the head should be bent back
so as to submerge the shoulders. neck
and as much of the head as will not in
terfere with breathing. the theory being
that the whole body is lighter than the
volume of water 1t will displace. If all
portions of the body except the mouth
and noStrils be submerged it may be kept
afioat for hours. In this. In all de-
partments of swimming. the possession of
confidence in the buoyancy of the body is
the most essential requirement. A living
body viii float because of the air in the
lungs. while a dead body will sink because
the air has been expelled.
Stroke for Fast Swimmers.
The side stroke is the most rapid mode of
swimming. The body should be thrown on
the right side. for the reason that weight is
removed from the heart when in that posi-
ton and the lower limbs act more freely
and naturally than when on the left side
When the position in the water is assumed
the right arm Is thrown out in front. palm
down The arm Is stretched out full length
and brought downward through the water
toward the legs The hand is then brought
up along the body to the chin. when the
stroke is repeated. The left hand beats the
water at the left side. The legs should be
moved In strong and vigorous strokes in
the same manner as that employed In
breast swimming. The overhead stroke is
one of several styles known TO all boys.
The practice of swimming dog fashion is
not advisable because the body is propelled
slowly by the rapid under stroke, and the
strength Is soon exhausted.
Benjamin Franklin. who knew something
about almost everything. also knew about
swimming. and advised beginners to wade
out from the shore until the water came
we'll up on the breast. Then to throw an
egg toward the shore and strike boldly af-
ter it, The only object In this method is to
furnish means of casting the body into
the water. when IT Is soon learned that the
body will float. No more clothing should be
retained on the body than is enjoined by
modesty. All drapery tends to drag the
body down
The developments of the last few years
have benefited women. for now the sex may
engage in pursuits and pleasures requiring
the free use of the lower limbs whereas
they formerly dared not do anything that
would suggest the possession of such ap-
pendages. Just now 1t Is the fashion for
women and girls to swim, and they are taxi
ing to the art with great enthusiasm

Touched His Heart,

From London Tfd-Biu.
The burglar had entered the house as
quietly as possible. but his shoes were not
padded and they made some noise
He had Just reached the door Of the bed
room when he heard some one moving in
the bed as If about to get up, and he
paused.
The sound of a woman's voice foated to
his ears
If you don't take of your boots when
you come into this house." 1t said, there's
going to be trouble, and a whole lot of it.
Here It's been raining for three hours, and
you dare tramp over my carpets with your
muddy boots on. Go down stairs and take
them OF this minute"
He went down stairs without q word but
he didn't take or his boots. Instead he
went straight out into the night again, and
the PAL who was waiting for him saw a
tear glisten in his eye.
II can't rob that house." he said ut re-
minds me of home"

EARLY CLOSING IN SUMNER.
Washington in Relation to the Other
Large Cities.

When they really awaken to a reform
in Philadelphia they rub their eyes and
boast of it." said a manager of one of
Washington's large department stores to a
Star reporter, and recently the press of
the Quaker city has been concentrating
all concerned upon the large stores shut
ting up at o'clock during the summer
months
Washington has been ahead of Phila-
deiphia In this respect for many years. and
was one of the first of the large cities to
put the reform into practice. During the
months Of July and August several of the
larger department stores of the ca pital c.ose
at l o'clock on Saturday and ) O'Clock on
the remaining week days. We find that it
works to the mutual advantage of the pro-
prietors and clerks. and the public. 1t is,
however. not universal practice here but
IL ought to be. and believe that the neces-
sary concert of action on the part of the
proprietors might be secured with a little
argument
The store loses comparatively little, II
anything. in the long run. The clerks are
refreshed and stimulated by their liberty.
They work much better and steadier and
have the interest of the store at heart,
which inures to the unmistakable advantage
Of their employers.
Il have observed that The Star has been
a faithful and persistent advocate of this
great reform 1t will be recalled that few
years ago when 1t was proposed to close
the banks at noon on Saturday 1t was urged
against 1t that the merchants would not
Its or draw on their accounts in the after
noon to pay their employees. But Just
as much banking business is done now
as before and no one wishes a resumption
OF the old hours II banks were to keep
open until midnight seven days in the
week there would still be the same last de-
positor' who would rush in at 1l:55 pm
The banks could not do business were II
not for their rigidly fixed hours
1t Is so with other businesses The public
may be educated to shop earlier by curtail-
ing the hours, and the volume of trade
would thus be condensed instead Of strung
out. and the merchants balance sheet at
the end of the year would be just as large
Once educated to early closing the public
would soon adapt itself to the reform with
out Inconvenience loss of profit to the
dealer. While some merchants have and
DO combat this proposition, Its actual test
IN this and other stores in Washington
! proves the error of their conclusions.
II all OF the merchants on It'll street. for
instance. were to shut up sharp at an hour
to be agreed upon. and live up to it, they
would find that the public would respect
the agreement. shop accordingly. and there
would be no diminution in their total re-
ceipts II Is my opinion that the public
would take kindly to the change during the
summer months.
In New York the banking, Insurance.
wholesale dry goods districts and WaIi
street are quite deserted and look like sun
| day after 1 pm on Saturday in summer"
