SWIMMING OUT WAS EASY.

Dut the Sergeant Didn't Come BACK
Until Long After Drill.
During brigade encampment year
or two ago at Scarborough, says an
English paper, a certain sergeant, in
conversation within the mess tent one
morning, loudly asserted that he could
swim to a particular big buoy a mile
or more from the shore, and back. Be
ing challenged to "prove his words"
he was soon bravely breasting the North
sea.
Swimming strongly, he was observed
to reach the aforesaid buoy, scramble
thereon, wave his hands, and then sit
down. AS he, however, contiuued to
sit there without attempting to move,
and parade time approaching, his COM
rades reluctantly returned to camp,
greatly wondering why he tarried on
the buoy, to be reported "absent from
parade"
Drill done, and the news of our
hero's exploit having spread throughout
the camp, large crowd of officers and
men hurried to the beach, only to see
the aquatic absentee still "as you were"
out at sea.
Now. convinced that something was
seriously amiss, a rescue party was
quickly rowed to the spot. aud dis
covered that the Inflated swimmer was
not dead, but only stuck fast to the
buoy, which had been newly tarred!

MATERIALS OF BIRDS NESTS.
Strange Composition of Some Odd
Specimens.

strange COmpOBit1On OF some Ouu
Specimens.
The instinct of birds does not compel
them in building their nests to use only
familiar materials. The Literary Di-
gest translates from a French period
ical the following examples of birds
facility of adaptation:
A birds nest was found in the suburbs
of Lille that was composed of white
wool and of strips of paper from tele-
graph Office where the Morse system is
used, situated several miles away,
The bird must have made a consider
able number of trips, for the quantity
of paper was large, and it had made a
good choice of material, for everyone
knows that paper is bad conductor of
heat; it holds heat well, and one does
not need to have Travelled around the
world to have found out that on jour
ney good-sized journal of stout paper
like the English newspapers, holds heat
as well as blanket.
Near Besancon another nest was
found, made wholly of watch springs
evidently taken from the factories in
the neighborhood. Here the selection
was less happy, for metals are good con-
ductors of heat. Finally, near spot
where large st. Bernard dog is kept
was found a nest built of hair detached
from the dogs coat In this case the
inspiration was evidently good.

INDIAN ANTlPATHY TO FISH.
why Some Tribes WIN Not Use Them
as Food.


why Some Tribes VIII Not Use Them
as Foed.
At a recent meeting in Baltimore by
the American Folklore society, DIR.
Washington Matthews, of Washington,
D. c., read paper on "Icthyophobia,"
which he described as an antipathy to
fish. This aversion is especially strong
in the Navajo, Apache and other Indian
tribes of the far southwest, who will
not eat fish nor have anything to do
with articles made in the shape of fish.
This taboo" with the Navajos extends
to all things connected with water. A
probable reason why no more children
of these tribes are sent east to be edu-
Gated, DR.. Matthews thought, was
fear that they might be required to
overcome this cherished taboo" super
stition, which is as firmly rooted as
any religion, says the Baltimore Sun.
A legend to account for this fish
taboo was given. There was time
when food was scarce and the mountain
Indians had big pow-wow with the
river Indians. The result was that the
river Indians agreed to kill no deer. but
i've entlreIy on Hsn, anu the mountain
Indians agreed to eat no fish, but live
entirely upon deer. This made food
plenty for both.
In the discussion of the paper it was
stated that the Zuna Indians will not
| eat fish because savage tribes in desert
lands regard water as sacred because
of its scarcity, and this reverence ex-
tends to animal life in water. Several
members thought, perhaps, this idea
conveyed the true reason for the fish

DENTISTRY AT SEA.
And Something Also About the Prac-
tice of Medicine AaOat.


When a sailor on a deep-water ship
has toothache he is likely to go to the
captain. The captain gives him some
thing out of the medicine chest to put
in his tooth, and if that doesn't cure it
perhaps he pulls it, says the New York
Sun. 1t is a common thing for sailors
to pull their own teeth. Their method
is to put a string around a tooth and
pull it; but dental forceps are carried
on deep-water ships; on some vessels
fair outfit of them. A ship captain
of long experience said that in the
course of his life at sea he had pulled
200 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like closet or cupboard, with
glass door, built in the ship. In this
chest the medicine bottles, gilt-labeled,
ore arranged on shelves that rise one
above another in receding tiers; it is
practically well-appointed little drug
store. There is supplied with the medi-
cine chest a book explaining the uses
Of the medicines. The captain is like
ly to have some other book on medical
subjects which he has read and studied,
and he is likely to have had good deal
of experience before attaining the rank
of master of ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men, but, when occasion requires, the
captain prescribes; he is the physician.
Limbs broken at sea are of course set
there, and there might be circum-
stances in which the captain would not
hesitate to perform a surgical opera
