Women Swimmers.

OF the thirty-four starters in the
life-saving corps endurance swim from
the Brooklyn Bridge to Coney Island,
the two women swimmers went the
whole thirteen miles, though most of
the men quit. One of the women had
never swum further than two miles be-
fore, but she finished fresh. Several
of the men collapsed after finishing.
Swimming is vigorous exercise. If
the water is not too cold, it is the
best kind of exercise. The chest mus
cles are developed and their strength
helps the lungs. The abdomen and
back are strengthened. The support
of the water lessons injurious internal
strains.
Men have more strength than wom-
en-, but women have more vitality than
men. In swimming, the chill Of the
water tells more on a man than on a
woman. The same feminine quality
that enables women to be superior
to men in dentists chair helped
Miss Gallup and Miss Hurst keep
cheerful for five hours in the OCEAN
New York World.

Gigantic Lemons,

1t is not regarded as a joke to be
"handed a lemon" in some parts of
Mexico, where this fruit grows to
enormous size. To carry one of
these monster lemons is no small
task. These lemons do not bear
shipment as we'll as those of the
smaller variety, but they are in much
demand in the localities where they
are grown. They are full of juice,
and one Of the larger size has been
known to afford enough acid for a
whole barrel of lemonade. These
gigantic lemons are found growing
wild in a remote part of Mexico sew
eral years ago. Specimens of the
tree were obtained and introduced in.
to other localities until the fruit is
now becoming common. Experiments
are now being made with the view of
increasing the thickness of the rind
and firmness of the fruit, with the
view of giving the lemon more stable
qualities for shipping purposes.-In-

rELEeRaPHINo TypEwRlrERs
New instrument Sends and Receives
Without Making Mistakes.

The latest device in telegraphy is
a telegraphing typewriter. 1t can be
attached to and placed under any or
binary typewriter, says the Electrical
World. When so connected 1t be-
comes a complete sending and re-
ceiving telegraph instrument, and
both sending and receiving instru-
ments record the message.
The only experience required is
that of an operator working type
writer. The message is sent in the
same manner in which you would
proceed to write letter on an or
dlnary typewriter. This same mes
sage will be received on the receiv-
ing typewriter exactly as it appears
on the sending one.
In some respects 1t resembles the
familiar stock ticker and other print
ing telegraph instruments, but unlike
these 1t makes possible the use of
capital and small letters as in ordin-
airy letter writing. The receiving
machine records the message just as
written and gives what corresponds
to carbon copy made on the origi-
nal machine.
There is said to be no chance for
mistakes. The machine takes down
the message just as sent. There is
no human receiver to make mistake
by faulty hearing or carelesness or
neglect, as is the case with the pres
ent Morse system of dots and dashes
in use all over the world.

Kentucky Tobacco Districts.

Tobacco is grown in several dis
tinct districts in Kentucky, and there,
as elsewhere, each district has by
reason of soil or climate virtual
monopoly of its own type. Down in
the southwestern corner, in the so
called Black Patch, embracing sever
al counties of Tennessee, a dark and
heavy leaf is grown and fire-cured for
the foreign trade. This is bought
by government, or so-styled reggie
buyers. North Of this is a heavy
leaf stemmed for the British trade.
North and east of this is the region
in which a dark air-cured leaf is
grown for domestic uses. East of
this, embracing all Blue Grass and
extending to Maysville, is the Burley
district in which is grown the famous
red and white Burley tobaccos. Bur
ley tobacco is light, fine-fibered leaf,
which has to large degree the prop
erty of absorbing licorice and other
adulterants. 1t is, therefore, used
for making sweet chewing tobaccos,
plug, twist and fine-cut. Because Of
its peculiar fitness for this the tobac-
CO companies have for 40 or 90 years
made use of it in this way, and the
popular brands, which are assets of
no mean value, are based upon the
public taste for this manipulated Bur
ley. l.. Matthews, in Atlantic.

The Jury System.

Sometimes 1t is a question whether
the jury system furthers the opera
ton of justice or hinders 1t. In an
Ohio case recently the trial was
halted because Juror announced
from the box that he wouldn't believe
the prosecuting witness under oath
because he was a drunkard. AS this
statement was said to prejudice the
jury it was excused, and the prisoner
remanded to jail to await new trial.
His attorneys are now trying to get
the case dismissed on the ground that
he has been placed once in jeopardy
and cannot be so placed again. Thus,
If the man is guilty, justice may be
defeated, and If he is innocent, he is
compelled to serve term in prison
which he does not deserve. Jurors
rarely recognize the Importance of
their acts, and, lacking the intelli-
gence to do this, it is sometimes ques
toned whether they possess enough
intelligence to be intrusted with q

Then my doctor, who drinks Pos

coffee and try Postum. After much
hesitation concluded to try it. That

none for more than four months.

recent estimate of this years orange
crop in Cuba-the largest in the his

ago thousands of crates of oranges
were brought to Cuba from Florida

the last three seasons these ship
ments have become less, and will
possibly cease entirely within an
other year. Orange cultivation on a
scientific scale did not begin in Gu

ago, and may be considered in its in

even at the cary stage is now in po-
