TIE Wom an Who Sw1ms.

Swimming will do more to develop
perfect health In women than any
other form Of exercise. 1t develops
the whole body symmetrically, loos-
ems the joints, gives free action to the
limbs It increases the lung capac-
ity, inducing desp breathing; straight
ems the frame, throwing the chest for
ward and the shoulders back. The
woman who swims gains all this, and
in the gaining has much pleasure.
In the water she is suspended, with
out the least hindrapce to the mo
ton Of her body, she can move her
arms or legs in any direction and
bend the trunk freely. The different
methods of swimming, all Of which
she will learn in time, bring into use
all the muscles Of the legs and arms.
A swimmer soon learns deep breath
ing, as a deep breath will keep the
body at the surface Of the water with
out the extra effort required by the
use Of the legs and arms.
The positions Of the swimmer at
first seem strange to a woman: the
disuse Of certain muscles has degen-
Grated them, and when she enters the
water to swim she feels no inclina-
ton to use muscles which she has not
used since early childhood-the mus
cles Of her waist and abdomen. What
she does try to do is to make the same
restricted motions that she Is forced
to make ordinarily, the knees together
and the little jerky strokes Of the
arms and legs. She soon sees the
folly Of this, however, and In time
acquires the long, sweeping, graceful
stroke Of legs and arms which comes
to the proficient swimmer by prac-
tice.
Who has ever watched the actions
of q professional swimmer and noted
the long sweep Of the limbs, the re-
covery of the arms for the new stroke,
and the wide, powerful swing Of the
legs, without a desire to acquire
little skill and power, combined with
like grace Of Observation-Disclosures

UNDERMINING THE HOLY LAND.

Invasion of American Mechanical In
ventions Into Syria.
"a peaceful revolution Is now going
on in the Holy Land" writes an Amer
lean correspondent. where plows Of
antique types were hauled by camels,
oxen, and donkeys, the steam pillow
Is seen. In harvest time, instead OF
the patient, antique methods, huge
harvesting machines, reapers and
threshers are operated by steam. The
standard gauge railway has already
penetrated inland to HONS, the Man
chester of Syria where, on it's arrival,
a mob demanded its surrender. Vic
torias and landaus are running be-
tween HONS and Palmyra, where the
ruins were once a sealed book. Auto
mobile lines are preparing to cross the
desert and succeed the mail lines Of
fleet dromedaries. When the Ameri-
can steam thresher arrived in Syria
from Indiana the plant was promptly
bought by Najib Sursock Bey, the pro-
gressive millionaire, owning great
areas Of Syria and Egypt, who vows to
buying anything the Americans invent.
The success of the plant was COM
plete. The straw bruiser attached to
the separator has opened a new dawn
Of plenty for starving animals of the
Holy Land. Syrian straw is hard and
stiff, and hence it was supposed for
ages to be valueless. The bruiser, a
steel cylinder with twelve rows Of
corrugated teeth making 1900 revolu-
lions a minute, now makes the straw
fit for the animals to eat. The Ko-
ran," adds our correspondent, will
surely retreat before American ma
chinery and methods introduced stimuli
taneously with American schools. This
may be said to be the first death
blow at Mahomedanism. The Arabs
are accustomed to work, and court it.
All the wars heretofore waged have
never welded the slightest influence
on the religious fanaticism Of these
people. Machinery and modern meth
DDS and enlightened education, how
ever, bringing the Arabs new and
cheerful labor, better pay, and re-
wards, will expose them constantly to
the weaknesses Of their creed and end
in their complete metamorphosis from
their forms Of dress, foods, thoughts,
and conduct. "-London Sphere.

Mrs. Chauncy Is the daughter Of the
late Colonel Carr, Of Louisville. On
his death he left but a few thousand
dollars insurance for his widow and
two daughters, but within three
months Alice had married Samuel
Sloane Chauncy, a millionaire New
Yorker. Soon after her marriage her
husband died. She then went to Eu-
rope with her mother and sister and
attracted much attention in London
and on the continent by her beauty.
Her sister is now the wife of Lord

Cnnchea and NerYea.

Couches have saved more minds and
nervous systems than all the doctors
and medicines put together.
1t Is the best refuge that the over
worked housekeeper has, did she but
know it; and the only fault have to
find with women Is that, as a rule,
they do not use their touches half
enough.
When distracted by the infinite cares
Of the household and worried over
this bill and that a woman should
have a place where she can throw her
self down, and, stretched at ease, al
low her troubles to straighten them
selves out Of their own accord.
By these means hysteria Is avoided,
beauty Is preserved, and the women's
chances for eternal salvation are
