The casual stroller by the banks
OF the Serpentine, London, the
other morning must have been
somewhat startled, says the Lon
don Express, to have observed 2S
young men, fully attired, waiting
apparently TO end their days in
the Hyde Park lake. Yet moth
ing Of the nature of suicide was
in their minds, for each Of them
waited for the starters signal to
plunge into the water, and each
was a competitor for the London
Daily Telegraph cup. The object
of the race is to promote swim
ming under difficulties. Most
men and women swim nowadays,
but swimming for pleasure, en-
tirely unencumbered, is very
different sort Of pastime from
that which took place in the Ser
pentine. Each competitor had
to carry not less than seven
pounds of wearing apparel, and
the nature of the handicap will be
best understood when il is un-
derstood that five very good
swimmers-men who under nor
nal conditions would make light
of mile or sO--had to be assisted
out of the water by the boatmen
before half the distance had been
completed. The race was a handi
cap and the winner turned up in

was the very substantial one of 80
seconds, but the back markers
were by no means out of it, as III.
Wilson az secondsl and E. D..
White Is seconds) were respec.
lively second and third.
Beyond the fact that all the
competitors had TO carry the es-
tablished weight of seven pounds,
choice of costume was a matter of
taste. Several wore tall hats and
affected evening dress; others
went in for fancy costumes, an.
Gent and modern. Indeed, more
motley crowd it would be difficult
to imagine. Still, the. object was
a good one and Sir Vincent Bar.
ringtOn, who gave his services as
one of the judges, informed an Ex-
press representative that the sole
object of the donors of the cup
was to. inculcate into the present
day youth the value of learning
to swim so as to save life under
any conditions.

HEARD In LIBRARIES.
Funny Titles Given to Books by
Young Readers.


Young Readers.
The children who make use Of
public libraries usually know
quite as we'll as their elders what
they want, although they make
occasional mistakes in asking for
it, says the Youths Companion.
A very natural confusion of a
modern with an earlier classic
was in the mind of that small boy,
for instance, who recently de-
manded "Golliwog's Travels, .
and the librarian, who finally in
duced him to accept Gulliver's
instead, was excusable for being
mOmentarily puzzled.
Nor was the little girl immedi
ately served and satisfied who re
quested a book by Hannah San
derson, of which she could not re
member the title. She knew il
was in the library, because ma
mic johnson had had it, and il
was lovely"
1t was quite useless to inform
her that no such book appeared
in the catalogue; she merely
thought the attendant very stu
pid, and proceeded, by way of en-
tightening her, to describe the
contents. When she mentioned
that one story was about a frol
princess, the official mind was
suddenly illumined, and she re
ceiyed the fairy tales of Hans An
| which was what sh'
wanted.
An incident which, as the mar
rator truly says, would have de
lighted Dickens himself, occurre'
at the jackson Square branch o
the New York public library no
long ago, when little girl--need
less to say, very little girl-art
lessly inquired for "a Tale OfTw
Kitties, by Charles Dickens" Sh
was not of an age for novels, no
for thrilling incidents of tn
French revolution; the librarian
saw her error, kindly exPlaine
that C III "Citiesn sounded like S
and offered her a book of puss,
cat stories suitable TO her years
She was quite satisfied to a.
cept it.

HOW THE BIRDS DRESS.
Description Of Toilet Made BY Tiny
sonesters.

Song8tefe.
AS bird fashions do not change
the lady birds Of to-day wear the
same kind of dresses their grand
mothers wore, says the Chicago
Chronicle, and are not troubled
about styles.
Two suits year are quite
enough for most birds, but they
need to take great care OF them.
Each separate feather must be
cleaned and looked over and the
useless ones pulled out.
You have seen a canary preen-
ing his feathers by lifting them
and smoothing them out with his
bill, and you may have thought
him vain TO do this so often.
But necessity and not vanity is
the cause Of his frequent dress.
inggs
IfyOu neglect to comb your hair
it will become tangled and look
untidy, but more serious things
happen to a bird who does not
comb his feathers.
These feathers are not packed
close together, you know, but lie
loose and have places between
them filed with air.
When bird wants to get warm
er he lifts his feathers so that
these air lpaces may be larger;
but, if his feathers are tangled or
wet and dirty, he could not raise
them and soon he could not keep
the heat in his little body and
would die of course.
Perhaps you have noticed spar
rows or other birds in the winter
time. They always look larger,
but they have only huifed out
their feathers because the wealth
er is cold,
Mr.. Canary does the same thing
when he goes to bed at night. A
water bird has to be even more
particular about his clothes, for IL
he should get them wet he would
die of cold.
1t seems odd, does it not, that
he can go in the water and not
get wet? 1t is a fact, though, and
it is only because he oils his feath-
ers. All birds have an oilcan,
or an oil gland, as it is called, 10
Gated down among his tail feath-
ers and after he has smoothed
himself carefully reaches his head
down to the oil gland and gets a
nip of oil in his bill and with ii he
oils his feathers with the great
est care.
If he does it properly the water
will run off and not soak in the
least bit. Just watch duck
when you get a chance and see
how he does it.

SENSE And BIRD SHOT
COMBINATION THAT DEFEATED THE
MOB AT DANvILLE, ILL.
Gov. Yates Praises the Action OF Sher-
iR WhitlOck-StrOng Address to
the Veterans at Carbondaie.

CARBONDALE, ILL.,. Sept. 23.-Fully 5000
veterans and their friends to-day heard
Governor Richard Yates speak on 'Mobs"
at the opening Of the annual reunion of the
Southern Illinois Soldiers and Sailors Asso-
citation. Governor Yates said the seven
persons in Illinois owed death to mobs. He
pointed out the baneful effect which such
a record had on the people. Mob rule sim
ply tore down the good influences that the
human race had established during the
past. Lynching was the essence of cow
ardice. 1t permitted no trial, no appeal: it
gave no quarter, but expected quarter to
be given to lynchers.
Abiding to the Danville riots of July o.
the Governor was profuse in his praise of
Sheriff Whitlock. He said Sheriff Whitlock
protected the prisoners in the Vermilion
county Jail by using a combination of sense
and bird shot. The evidence at the trial of
the Danville rioters showed that five of the
men bent on unlawfuly executing a negro
for the alleged purpose OF protecting the
sacredness OF their homes were wife-beat-
ers.
LAS j love the memory of the past and
revere the flag that you veterans pre-
served said the Governor. IL will keep my
oath and put every bayonet and every rifle
belonging to the State against the further
use of lynch law and mob violence"
