but Immediately the oars are taken
out of the water the speed begins to
slacken and the rushing forward that
invariably accompanies short rowing
brings the boat almost to a standstill
before the next stroke is ready to be
given. The long stroke is the vindi-
cation of the sliding seat, and the OBJ
ject of every coach should be to OBJ
tain the maximum of length with the
minimum of effort.
Coaches frequently overlook the
fact that the %140-pound man cannot
drive a five-inch blade through the

not understand why the lighter mar

TOO BUSY TO MAKE NOISE.

According to the Kansas City Star.
a kindergarten teacher OF that city
was in%capacitated from work one day
recently by a somewhat startling in
cident.
The subject of the lecture and OBJ
ject lesson was animals, birds and
then more animals.
Now, children" said the teacher,
II want each of you to think or some
animal or bird and try for a m
to be like the particular one you are
thinking about. and make the same
kind of noises they are in the habit OF
making"
Here was the command. Here the
finale:
Instantly the schoolroom became
menagerie. Lions roaring. dogs Dark

lowing. calves bleating, cats meow

Indifferent and unmindful OF all the

Strokes Used in Rowing

II the embryo oarsman should take
seriously all that is said about the
difference between the so-called Eng
fish long stroke he never would be-
come proficient. AS a matter of fact,
there is as much short rowing in
England as there is in this country.
The difference is not national, but
solely one between good rowing and
bad rowing. In theory there is only
n perfect stroke, but the difficulty
is in imparting the knowledge and
putting it into practice. A long
stroke is not necessarily a slow one,
although it is not possible to exceed
a certain limit without sacrificing
length, on account Of the time neces-
sarily consumed in the different
operations connected with the begin
ming, finish and recovery.
There is nothing gained by a good
beginning il the momentum acquired
is to be let go off at once AS long
as the stroke is held on to the pace
will continue without extra exertion.

cents and British farthings of the
same commercial value were then in
circulation, and many articles were
priced and sold in h%alf-cents. With
the progress of the nation values rose
and the needs for a half-cent disap-
peared, and their use following the
first decade Of the century was al
most entirely confined to multiples.
While all other discontinued types
and denominations of United States
coin have found oblivion, the half.
cent is the only n of which treas
ury reports do not record some portion
OF the issue redeemed. This singular
and unexplained fact has been one
of frequent comment and inquiry
from mint and treasury officials.
Ferran Zarbe of st. Louis sent two
half-cent pieces to Washington for
redemption. He now prizes highly
the little voucher calling for "one

exchange for the two half-cent
