A POWERFUL sIpHoN.

Comedian Jess Dandy tells the fol

witnessed in one Of the hotels at which
he was stopping recently:

to the clerk when a typical Rube can'

men waited for their opponents 10 get
even, and then began to race again and
beat them fairly. Out Of this has
arisen bitterness that will ranSls be-
tween Belgium and England for sons
time to come.
The victory q the Belgian eight ha,
given rise to serious misgivings as 70
the English style Of rowing. Experts
now say that Americans were only
prevented In past years from capturing
the Henley prize by the superior ply
sique Of the English oarsmen and their
failure to become acciimated during
their short stay In England. II would
not be surprising II American methods
Of Craftsmanship were adopted to some
extent next year.

They Eat In Mid Channel.

All channel swimmers also are sup

OF course story of this nature would
not be complete without mention Of
Captain Paul Boyton. Boyton, now
the pooh bah, big mogul and main
squeeze at Boyton beach, the New
Jersey holiday resort, was the frs,
man to cross the channel. but he did
1t in the famous rubber. air inflated
suit which he invented. The United
States life saving service afterward
purchased q large number Of these
suits, and one was allotted to each
station. However. they never were OF
use, because a man could not handle
himself at all when in one in any kind
Of surf. Boyton's stunt was
never classed as a legitimate swim
ming OF the channel, owing to the ad.
vantage given by the suit.
When Webb crossed the channel he
was In the water twenty-five hours
and stepped on the opposite shore
without showing any visible signs OF
exhaustion, remarkable proof Of en-
durance and condition.

Goggles and oil Necessary.

All channel swimmers wear air
tight goggles and cover themselves
with oil or vaseline. The goggles keep
the irritating salt water out of the
DELICATE membranes Of the eyes, and the
oil keeps out much Of the cold and also
prevents ones system from taking in
salt water through the pores Of the
skin. It Is fact that during a long
immersion in water the body "soaks
up" an appreciable amount of water.
sHolbien has originated the scheme
Of mixing tincture of iodine with vase
line and applying 1t literally over his
entire body. His theory is that the
iodine carries at least a part Of tho
vaseline into the skin and thus makes
a more effective coating.

tempted suicide. Glover is many years
younger than Kistler.
Recent assailants Of Webb's record
have been Montague Holbien and Miss
Annette Kellermann. The latter is the
greatest woman swimmer the world
has ever seen.
In the case Of Kistler and Glover one
failure cannot prove discouraging,
neither will two failures dishearten
them. They intend to keep trying un-
til they succeed or until mature
physical prowess can no longer stand
the strain.

Tho vexatious Current.

The vexatious Current.
It Is the strong and varying current
in the English channel that renders
the crossing so difficult, even, in fact,
for vessels. While the distance from
Dover to Calais is only a fraction over
twenty miles, Captain Webb is esti-
mated to have covered forty miles.
owing to the fact that the tide and
current swept him back and forth. up
and down the course, almost at will at
times. Any capable long distance
swimmer can go twenty miles in fairly
good time, conditions being moderate
ly favorable, a very few can cover from
thirty to forty miles under entirely
favorable circumstances. but twenty
miles in the tideway between the Eng
lish and French coasts is a task that
would have made Hercules, II he had
been swimmer, stick his tail be-
twixt his propellers and hike for the
uncut alfalfa.

kistler now forty-two years old, has
an intricate knowledge of all the tricks
of the long distance swimming game.
He has the needed muscular and lung
power, too, and the courage that must
go with them. His record is a good
one, his swim from Philadelphia to
Chester, on the Delaware river, and re-
turn, being well remembered. On the
day that Czolgosz shot President Nc
Kinley, Kistler covered this distance of
thirty-two miles in eleven hours. He
is said to be able to cover ten miles
with his hands and feet tied.
! Kistler is going to make his start
from the admiralty pier. Dover, whence
Webb plunged into the sea thirty-o one
years ago. Kistler has invented head
mask with which he will protect him
self from the effects Of the sun and
salt water. He will also plentifully
anoint himself with oil to reduce the
friction.

Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines con taining injurious ingredients as broadly published in some journals of more or less influence, this publicity has certainly been of great benefit in arousing needed attention to this subject It has. "a considerable measure, resulted Tn the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicines as may be faiTlE sus- pected of containing the injurious ingrc- dients complained of. Recognizing thls fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, vtook time by the forelock," aSlt were, and published broadcast all tne ingredients of which his popular mcdl- pletely forestalled all harping, critics ana all opposition that might otherwlse, pc urged against his medicines. because Iaey are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, 1t will be seen Ihat these medicines contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious agents. their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots oi medicinal plants found growing In the depths of our American forests ana oI well recognized curative virtues.
 Instead of alcohol. which even In small portions long continued. as in obstinate cases of diseases, becomes highly ,ooJec- tionable from it's tendency to produce craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce, cm, ploys chemically pure, triple reilned l,c glycerine, which of itself IS Vai'tabie remedy in many cases of chronic dscaios, being a superior demulcent. antlscpte' antiferment and supporting nutrtye.
