Not drill. Was thar an awful strug-

the bold, bad man by the nose and
leads him around fur awhile. Then he
strips him Of his wcepins, pulls his

The Longest Swim.

Gelng with the tide in the Thames river, Capt. Matthew Webb once swam a distance of forty miles in nine hours and ffty-seyen minutes Montague A. Holbein, an English "Iong-distanee cy- elist, recently swan three miles farther, although he made no such time record Taking the water at Blaekwall pier in the early morning. says the London Chronicle, Holbein went down the river on a strong ebb, which ran until he had progressed two miles beyond Gravesend. Turning then with the tide, he came back on the flood to Blaekwall, He failed to reach the pier by mile, owing to the tide fail- ing him, and he left the water quite fresh and strong, willing, had his friends so advised, to turn again and complete fifty miles. The distance he had, thus covered forty-three miles. which he swan in twelve hours, twen- ty-seyen minutes. forty-two and three- fourths seconds-is the greatest ever known to have been covered by swimmer. although it has been as- sumed that Matthew Webb, when he crossed the channel. must have been borne almost as far by the changing tides. Holbein swims with slow but powerful stroke. half-side, half-back ne progresses at an even pace and never seems to tire. He has done some marvellous feats on the bicycle. and was at one time an excellent cross-country runner and distance walker. but this swim is certainly to be reelxoned as his naast remarkable achievement in the matter of endurance.

Steepie on-Doe,s 1.n1nI,.

Joseph H. Vaill, commissioner from Connecticut at the Worlds Fair at Chicago, and whom Gov Lounsbury will probably appoint as commissioner from Connecticut to the Paris and Buff, talo eXpositions, has purchased tha steeple of the Second Congregational church of Winsted, Conn. and will have it erected as a monument over the grave of his dog Snyder, which died over year. ago. The steeple, which has already been taken off the old church in sections, is about sixty feet high, says the New York Journal. Mr. Vaill was formerly editor of the Winsted Herald, and Snyder was known by nearly every state news- paper man.
