To Learn to Swim

Then the bath tub should be used,
so that the bather, lying full length,
can immerse the entire head At first
this will bring back all the old fright
ening sensations of suffocation, but
the attacks will be of short duration,
and within few days it will be
found that the total immersion can be
maintained for almost a full minute
without discomfort of any kind.
Once a person has learned how per-
fectly comfortable one can be under
water, the first great step has been
taken towards learning to swim.
Many otherwise good swimmers
have never really acquired this calm
ness under water, the result is that
when such a swimmer is caught in an
undertow or a swirling current, his
confidence leaves him as soon as he
feels himself dragged under the sur
face. Instead of diving or remaining
motionless and so preserving his
breath, he gasps involuntarily and nat
urally swallows water, and the chol.
ing sensation at once forces him to
exhale what breath he has left and
gasp again.
Confidence under water should be
the first lesson in swimming.

Saved by Bad Spelling

Col. Artemus Lee of Templeton, one
of the most estimable citizens of
northern Worcester county, man i'm
perious and quick-tempered, who had
been apt to have his own way in the
region where he dwelt, and not very
willing to give up to anybody en-
ployed Senator Hoar once to bring suit
for him against the town of Temple
ton to recover taxes which he claimed
had been illegally assessed and col
lected. The senator says in his auto
biography:
He was man whose spelling had
been neglected in early youth. Aid
rich was for the town. All the facts
showing the illegality Of the assess
ment, of course, were upon the town
records. So we thought if the parties
met with their counsel we could
agree upon statement Of facts and
submit the question of law to the
courts.
I'VE met in Judge Aldrich's office,
Col. Lee and myself and Judge Aldrich
and some of the town officers, to make
up the statement. But Mr.. Aldrich
had not had time to look very deeply
into the law of the case and made

A person who is timid about the
water can overcome the greatest part
of the difficulty of learning to swim
by the proper use or wash basin.
The obstacle that nervous persons
meet in the water is not the conscious
fear of drowning, but an involuntary
nervous shock that causes them to
gasp for air even before their faces
are under water.
It is this gasping for breath that
browns people.
They cannot control the gasping,
and consequently they often snap for
breath when their mouths are under
water. AS the buoyancy of a human
body is easily disturbed, few pints
or quarts of water swallowed in these
involuntary gasping acts serve to sink
a person who otherwise would float
long enough for help to arrive.
Now if person afflicted with this
involuntary fear of getting under wa
ter will thrust the whole face gently
into an ordinary basin full of water
every day and stay there as long as
possible, it will be only short time
before the gasping sensation begins
to disappear.

Your gown
You gently wrapped about me. and grief

No longer sobbing pine or ebbing sea
Had power to sadden either you or me.
Unto the soul those deep eyes mirrored
near.
fondly told each secret wrong and fear
And loved you more because you needed
me:
Then came the day when did chance to
see
A glstening tear upon your cheek, and
knew
With tender pity, that you suffered. Few
Had broken from so brave a heart. The
tear
Hung self-confessed. for 10! your sorrow,
dear,
Was strangely like to mine; the likeness
told.

The Alligators of Canada

shore or fasten 1t to the bank.
Then the alligator proceeds to dem
onstrate why IL is so named. 1t chug'
chugs calmly to the bank, goes
straight at 1t, up goes its nose on
the shore, and the next moment the
paddle wheels cease to revolve and
the queer boat trundles up on land.
Then the amphibian character or
the thing becomes visible. Under the
keel of the alligator are wooden roll
ers. When the queer craft has been
forced as far up the bank as the pad
die wheels can drive it, chains arc
run to the nearest tree and brought
back to the rollers. The engine gear
ing is shifted from the paddle wheels
to the rollers and the alligator pro-
ceeds to pull itself along over the
land.
Thus the lumbermen have boat,
locomotive and a stationary engine
combined in their alligators, and the
value of such a combination can be
realized when lit is understood that
sometimes they bring down RATS so
huge that they will coveFa square

they are fioated are so great nat RATS

Among the most common sights In
the streams and lakes of the Cana
dian lumber country are alligators.
One cannot go up river in the woods
without seeing anywhere from two to
half dozen of them lying on the
banks or floating in the water.
Nobody hunts these alligators, and
there is no instance known of their
attacking anybody. Indeed, the lum-
bermen swim around right alongside
OF them, and generally there are from
one to three lumbermen sitting on the
back of one alligator.
The fact is that the Canadian alli-
gator is not reptile, but boat-and
boat as queer in the world Of boats
as the real alligator is queer in the
world of reptiles.
The Canadian alligator boat is an
oval, fiat thing, with small boiler
and engine bolted to the deck, without
any deck house or other structure
over it. Two spidery iron paddle
wheels on the sides do the propelling.
They look funny enough plunging
along, with the skeleton wheels pad
ding Ike mad, and a great raft be-
hind them; but the funniest part of
the alligator is not seen till the craft
happens to get to a shallow place, or
till it becomes desirable for some rea-

Drainage for Good Roads

proximately seventy-seven cents peg
lineal foot of road less than construc-.
ton with Telford base and two,
drains, and thirty-fve cents less than
the same base with a single side
drain.
This system of construction is di-
rectly opposite to that advocated in
most OF the accepted manuals on the.
subject. The old idea has been to get
the water off the roadbed Just as
quickly as possible. To accomplish
this the subgrade has been crowned
and rolled Aand the lower courses of

centrated at a regular series of points.
