A SWIM FOR LIFE.


 As much interest has recently been excited concerning attempts to swim the Channel, perhaps the following account condensed as far as practi- cable, may be worth noting. may say that it has been recorded at great CT length by me in Notes and Queries and in the pages of the Norfolk Chron- icle, but 1t deserves wider circulation; In the year 1885, sixty seven years ago, the yawl Increase was launched at Yarmouth, in order to succor a Spanish brig, s'leaky and with both pumps at work" Several of the beaehmen were landed on the brig, and the rest, nine in number, got on board the yawl in order to return to Var mouth. A squall came on, the ballast shifted from windward to leeward. and the yawl was overset. Eight of the men were drowned almost immediate ly, but Brock, one of them, saved him. self by swimming fifteen miles, on an October night, after being in the water seven hours. The only rest he obtained was by clinging to a buoy in the Roads, which he was soon obliged to leave, as the sea birds were scream ing and living around him, one bring
 
 a corpse. At length, almost when '.alI hope that he should be saved was talk en away he succeeded in reaching the brig Betsy, at anchor in Corton Roads, fifteen miles distance from the spot where the yawI was capsized, with his mouth and throat quite sore from the salt water which he had swallowed. He had no anointing with oil or mask to protect his face or boat to accompany him, but luck fly he had long clasp knife in his pocket, sharpened the previous day, which enabled him to cut away his clothes.
 more wonderful instance of an es- cape from an appalling situation, and of courage and resolution, is very rare ly to be found, and it deserves to be freshly remembered. "-London Standard

 NEW YORK, Sept 10.-"Attorney General Elkin, Senator Film of Penn sylvania and myself have been in con- sultation for several hours today with F. A. E.

 MT. Widener is very anxious to see the strike settled and has taken the matter up with MT. Morgan. We are doing all we can.''
 The foregoing statement was made last evening by Governor W. A. Stone as he was leaving the offices of the United States Steel corporation, where the consultation he mentions took place.
 Governor Stone's manner plainly in- dicated that he expected, with the help of J. Pierpont Morgan, the great coal strike will be speedily ended

ra Locate the RaS.

This is not pleasant theme to touch upon, but much may be forgiven to one who has recently passed the trying ordeal of having a rat die under the floor. Search for the inconsiderate rodent was unavailing for several hours, and it seemed as if the whole house would have to be torn down to find the malodorous cause of our woe. ssWait,n said an Englishman, who hap pened in, until l go to the butchers and get some blue-bottle flies, then I'll locate the beast for you" We waited. Tn an hour he was back with three or four flies in bottle. These he liber- ated in the rooms, having first taken the precaution to close doors and win dows. In a few moments the flies set- tied down in one spot on the floor. 'sTake up that board" said the Briton, sand you'll find your rat" The board was lifted, and there, sure enough, was the Iong-sought rat. Washington Stare

I9 v F1 N 1F Plant Medicine Chests.


 Tn past5ages it was almost a reli. gious belief that though man was subject to endless diseases, there was for every one certain remedy. Many of these were to be found in the plant world, and it was supposed that na- ture had so marked different plants that every sufferer could discover for himself the particular plant that would meet his special need. All that it was needful to do was to look at g plant, and if you could find anything that in shape or color resembled the part of the body that was diseased, or the disease itself, that was proof positive that the plant was good for you. Thus a heartshaped leaf was a sovereign remedy for heart dis ease, spotted leaf was good for dis eased lungs, plant with swellinga at the joints was good for gout, the walnut, with it's outer skin, it's hard, brittle shell and its peculiar kernel, was sure cure for all diseases of the brain. We laugh at this now, but the fact remains that we obtain from some plants poison elements and from others preparations that effect what seem to be wonderful cures.-Nature.

Nforgan Accents PIan.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1O--The North American this morning says that J. Pierpont Morgan has assented to plan proposed by Governor Stone of Pennsylvania for ending the coal miners strike. The plan, according to the North American, was submitted to MT. Morgan yesterday by P. A. B. Widener of this city The plan in brief is for the mine workers to return to work without signed agreement, that the operators by concessions adjust the differences existing between the men and the companies, that after waiting a reasonable time and the op- orators fail to do this an arbitrator be appointed and that if the men deem the decision of the arbitrator unjust then the men can again go on strike. The paper also says that Governor Stone immediately telegraphed Presi- dent Mitchell for conference.

 to Go Up the HILL
 Dr Loveland had quite an experience with his automobile last evening. While returning from making a call on Nova Scotia Hill he started to ascend the hill in front of the residence of Charles Holt on Cutler street. The road was so muddy that each time he let on steam the wheels would revolve more rapidly than was desired, so that little or no progress could be made. Fiji nally, however, he backed over the hill and succeeded in getting to the center via the road which leads from Chauncey Dayton's residence.

FRETFUL TEACHERS.
Nag the Children into Nervous Diseas-
 es and Make them Sick.

And just here I must protest
 against the lack of discrimination shown in the selection of our teachers, and express a fear that the coming race is being sadly handicapped so far as they become victims of neuras- taenic women or men, says Dr Julia Holmes Smith in the Pilgrim. The verb s'to nag" should never have been in our vocabulary, and l have been wondering whether it. may not have had it's origin from the habit of the feminine mind of fault finding and scolding and fretting over petty things. I do not mean that women are the only persons fretful or that women alone are neurasthenic; but it goes without saying that we women change our servants with pitiful ire duency, and, have more trouble in housekeeping than does the man who runs a hotel or the steward. who pre- sides over the club! If Il had to live my life over again, one of the very first things would force myself to obtain would be perfect self-control, and the lesson that would teach my children would be that of holding themselves in under trying eircum- SldnCtS,. 5ICcAAA1AS 1A8 dyS eA1AG tN'IOA is so gained I have had occasion lately to notice the working of one of the best appointed school rooms in Chicago. The teacher was beyond criticism, so far as scholarship ard ability was concerned, and yet m that room there were two clever boys, nearly ready for the high school, whose last. few months have been made hideous. by a nagging teacher, who never found anything right, who was always hunting for something wrong, who was never satisfied with work done, and yet was possessed of such a veritable New England con- science that when the close of the term came said conscience forbade her to discriminate against William and Cy- rus, who found themselves, to their great surprise, in the first i've of the class. To the shame of their teacher, be it spoken that the family doctor was called more frequently during that five months. and there was more suffering from disordered digestion, headache and nerves than had been known by these boys before.

''Why," asked Mrs. Justgotrich of the courteous waiter at the summer resort, .why do you fold the napkin in such a queer shape?"
 ssTo demonstrate, madam" replied the waiter, who was a sophomore from Yell college, that in an isosceles tri- angle the sum of the square of the base and perpendicular is equal to the square of the hypotenuse."
 Here Mrs. Justgotrich called all her new-found dignity to her aid.

The Adironaack rorest.

The state of New York now has a baby forest in the Adirondacks where trees afe being raised to reforest a denuded tract. This has brought the state fish, game and forest commission to the consideration of a project to establish tree nurseries in the woods on much the same principle of the state fish hatcheries. After trees have had the proper growth they would be given free to citizens and municipal ities, and used where needed on state lands. In this way it is hoped to re- claim much denuded land. The propo- sition is commendable. It emphasizes, however, the folly of permitting what remains of the Adirondack forest lands to be cut over, if the state later is to be at considerable expense to un- dertake the slow process of reforesta. tion.-Rome Sentinel.

An Old SfnrY.

A struggling, modest lawyer near Stroudsburg, this state, received a call from well-to-do farmer who was in need of professional advice concerning his rights, which he thought ignored by a section gang on the D. L. & W. R. R. The law yer looked up the statutes, told the farmer exactly what he should do, and, when asked as to the fee, re- piled:
 "Well, let's call it just three dol lars.''
 The farmer passed over five-dol- lar bill, which seemed to embarrass the lawyer, who searched through his pockets and the drawer of his desk. Then he pocketed the five dol lars, reached for a digest, sat down, and remarked:

Building Lots in Rural England.

Rural England" correspondent writes, lis in danger of being cut up into rectangular slices of .25 feet frontage and an average depth of 120 feet to quote the language of the auc- tioneers. Almost daily throughout the summer a marquee is set up on some estate more or less contiguous to a seaside or other town, and here the plots are knocked down singly or in punches to those who have partaken of the vendors hospitality. The ease with which agricultural values can be converted into Especulative building values is astonishing. Two years ago, while walking from Brighton to New haven, passed through place called Tolscombe Cliff. Here some almost waste land had been sketched out into 8 town site, and the turf cut off, reveal ing strips of chalk that signifed roads, The nearest station and almost the nearest house were three miles away, and yet plots had been sold a few weeks previously at from $ 50 to g 100 apiece. This means between s 5000 and g e12,o0O an acre, instead of the agricultural value of not more than 6 G50."-London News.
