ACQUIRING THE
ART OF SWIMMING.

AcQuirlng the Art Of Swimming.
A swimming instructor reports that
every summer more and more girls are
learning the art natatorial. Nothing
promises better for the future of the
race. Swimming is one of the most
healthful OF physical exercises, likewise
one OF the most graceful and useful
Besides that, the woman who can swim
well has acquired that mental self
control which her sex needs as much
as snything today.
York city girl. is better swimmer than
any man. except a few of the most ex-
port. Last summer She defeated four
men who started with her in a Ave mile
race. She has swun across the Hud-
son River with the tide running pow
erfully upstream. When friends av-
companying her in q boat begged her
to give It up she replied, I'm going
across II I'm carried half way to AL
bany" She reached the opposite shore
three miles above where she started.
Once in record time Mise Mcdonald ac-
eomplished a seven mile swim And in
the breakers OF Manhattan Beach this
young lady saved the life or a man who
was drowning. She made him first
promise not to grasp her; then she took
him by the collar Of his bathing suit
turned him upon his back and towed
aim in to safety.
Miss McDonald's power, skill ana
fearlessness in the water are largely
the result of long practice. Her mother
Is the proprietor OF a swimming bath
beside the Hudson River
in upper New York city. The girl new
err had to overcome any "panickyness"
in the water. because she learned 10
swim before the consciousness OF fear
had awakened in her. The panicky

try to swim, and II there was any pos
sible way for them to drown no doubt !
they would do 80. Fortunately. how |
ever, a woman could hardly drown II
she tried to do so at present day swim
ming pools and bathing resorts.
In learning to swim the first thing Is |
to overcome the fear OF the water,
Many girl docs not have this. and she |
Is lucky indeed, for all she has to do |
then Is to become familiar with the
arm and leg strokes. These OF them

Christ Risen.
When the facile pei of Charles
Dickens dropped from his hand in the
midst of his writing of his Mystery OF
Edwin brood" a sensation of regret
was felt by his admirers that he had
left a story half told Had the evan
gelists laid down their pens before mar
rating the resurrection, Il would not
have been passing sensation of re-
greet. but the universal human heart
would lave been torn '.supder between
faith and doubt. There Is SO much upon
the sacred page to indicate Divinity.
hut the glorious seal to 1t would be
lacking. Tho unfinished mystery Of
Jesus Christ would have plunged each
succeeding generation OF readers into
grief and despair. The lament of the
disciples On the way to Immaus would
have been the worlds refrain we
thought 1t ad been lie who shonld
have redeemed us. But how can an
Hnrtsen Saviour save?
With joy and confidence we turn
thon to the fourfold narrative Of the
resurrection No unfinished mystery is
here. That lsst event essential to the
sy:nTnetr- of the Divine Person is told
with tncontestable truth. Each evan
gelist. from his own point of view. mar
rates the sublime event independently
OF the rest. What one lacks. the oth-
ers supply. Each gives some minor
touch caught upon the sensitive plate
of his own individuality. So from the

The evidence OF the ingenuousness OF

strong. The women's report seemed
idle talk. They wore not inclined to
