Tie Great parks of Colorado,

The Great parks Of Colorado,
Bear an important relation to the
State in all her diversified interests
They constitute one of her chief
glor1es, They are not, as many
suppose, small areas level ground
closely hemmed in by nd1ghboring
hills, and beautiful with ever
green's and flowers, but they are
vast territories of country almost
as large as some states; they con-
tvin fields. forests and plains, wher
the herds of the cattlemen have
succeeded the herds of buffalo,
they are watered by creeks &c riv
e-s. and contain farm houses and
Villages; they have springs & lakes
where hotels and other places of
entertainment have been built for
settlers. for tourists, hunters, cam
pers and others seeking remote pla
ces of resort in the heart of the
Rocky mountains.

Nearly everything written thus far
about the new Jail has necessarily been
technical and full of details about the
plans. but IL is now time to begin con-
templating the building as completed.
II will not exactly be ready for oc-
cupancy ''by the time the snow flies"
but it will be SO near it that Mr.. Cor
nelius Mulcahy, one of the contractors,
has ventured to predict that all the
county prisoners can eat their Christ
mas dinners in the new jail. ''if they
are removed there in time" The
County Commissioners expect to have
the new jail in full operation by the
FIRST of the year.
There is only one more story to add
work on the building numbers ~. The
interior work is also being pushed
rapidly, and little time will be re
quired to locate and put the cells to-
gether. Measurements for the cells
were given very minutely. and it was
guaranteed by the cell work contractors
that the putting of the pieces together
after they reached here would he n
very short and simple task. In every
department connected with the con
struction of the Jail and equipping 1t
the work has been moving steadily
so that no delays will occur.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the jail will look pretty. Tho walls
look pretty now. and they are excep
tlonally clean. When asked how the
stones had been kept so clean. Mr.
Mulcahy explained the manner IN
which they had been handled. "You
see" he began, ''they are fine speci.
mems of North Amherst stone, and af-
ter they are dressed for placing in the
walls they are never allowed to touch
the ground. We keep them lying on
plank until we are ready 10 hoist them
TO the walls. In this way they never
get apv dirt on them. If they were nj.
lowed to lie ON the ground, you can
easily see how dirty they would he
come. The settlers who place the
stones OH the walls notify the cutters
of the size wanted and ,hey are cut Il
order We aim TO keep enough cut
ters SO that two settlers will be kept
busy"

SWIMMING BY RULE.
Natatorial Instruction of New York
School Children.

The simple, old-fashioned way
to teach boy to swim was for the
other boys to throw him in the water
and merely see to it that he did not
actually drown. It worked pretty
well, and the boys subjected to the
treatment learned fast, although
their parents sometimes considered
the way brutal-if they heard any,
thing about it.
Now, says the Hartford Times, in
a big city this is all changed. The
boys and girls are both taught to
swim, and in New York this year
there is to be considerable enlarge
ment of facilities. 1t is proposed to
give a two months swimming course
to all boys and girls under 16 who ap-
ply for rlit, and at the end of the time
there will be diplomas for those who
have finished the course creditably
and probably gold medal for the
best boy swimmer and another fof
the best girl swimmer. Only those
can be admitted who have not learned
to swim before.
To one who remembers the old
rouch-and-ready methods the most
astonishing part of the scheme is the
scientific exactness with which SWIM
ming is to be taught-is is taught in
some places now. The pupil begins
on dry land and practices the arm
movements under the direction of an
instructor, who counts one, two, three
to time the motions. When he is sup
posed to be somewhat familiar with
the muscular movements required he
is put into the water and there he is
taught floating, then the breast
stroke, then the overland stroke, div
ing, rescuing drowning people by
throwing ropes or by diving for them,
and then the method of resuscitating
those who are half drowned and un-
conscious.

And know the song-ah me! have known

The melodies that in soft twilights start

And, lingering fill the heart.

All wounded souls to save,
Forgive us if. when in it's garb of glory

How that, at times, we wot of nothing

mostly belong to the reign of King
Stephen. The chronicler, after de-
failing the sudden attack upon Not
tingham by the earl of Gloucester, in
1141, relates that a wealthy towns
man was made prisoner and COM
PEELED to give up his money. He con-
Quoted the plunderers to his cellar,
and while they were engaged in break
ing open doors and locks he contrived
to make his escape, locked them all
in, and set fire to his house. It is
reported that 80 men in the cellar
perished in the flames. The discov-
cry of the 'sBeaworth hoard" the
"Tutbury hoard" and the curious
circumstances relating to other finds,
were dealt with in most interesting
manner.

1t is not generally known that
when a person falls into the water a
common felt hat may be made use of
as life-preserver, and by placing
the hat upon the water, rim down, and
the arm round it, pressing it slightly
to the breast, it will bear man up
for hours.
