get them to declare a truce, which

1t must not be inferred however,
that the tongs typify the mass of the

DON'T NEED TO DROWN.

II Bathers in Trouble Use Common
Sense There Is Little Danger.
Ninety-nine times in 100 drowning
Is the result of fright and frenzy, says
writer In the New York Press. There
is a public horror of cramps. Not one
case of cramps in 1000 Is dangerous
If the victim knows what to, do and
does 1t. Every long-distance swimmer
entering race expects to get cramps,
yet he doesn't drown and he doesn't
stop swimming, either. He keeps go
ing until his legs are in knots; still.
he doesn't sink. He plugs along until
there isn't another kick In him, and
even now he doesn't go down. Instead
of that he rolls over on his back and
waits for the boat to pick him up. 1t
may be a minute or 1t may be an hour,
but until the boat comes the expert
will be floating around like a ship. 4
When you catch cramp in your
arms or legs don't get excited. You
may yell, but keep yourself under con-
troll. Don't exert yourself, for 1t takes
little or no effort to keep afloat.
Stretch out your arm or leg, as the
case may be, until you are straining
to the utmost. Then strain a bit hard
er and watch the Jumped muscle go
down. ,.
The dangerous cramp Is in the
stomach. When that takes you your
breath goes, and you're not able to
shout for help or even to articulate a
sound. I have known Of just two
cases among hundreds of thousands of
swimmers. When you get that kind of
cramp you may as we'll say your pray
ers, but you won't get it II you don't
eat for two hours before going into
the water. Professional swimmers 90
hungry half day before entering a
race, and they never know of such a
thing as stomach cramp.
II a bather In trouble would use
common sense he never would drown.
The belief is general that three times
under water for the drowning person
means Grape and flowers It's true; if
you make the mistake of taking water
for air. Hold your mouth shut when
you are under water and you'll keep
going down and coming up all day.
Don't exhaust yourself struggling. Re-
lax every muscle and don't move a
hand. You'll find that you'll never
sink lower than your ears, and that
in a few seconds you'll rise up until
your shoulders are dry. You can keep
on doing this indefinitely, but, of
course, If you drink water you'll be
weighted and down you'll go.

MATRIMONIAL DIARY.

Within recent months we have
noted that more and more frequently
diaries have been Introduced Into
divorce trials kept by one or both
parties to the suit. Sometimes these
diaries were begun long previous to
any open disagreement between man
and wife, when one or the other may
have ben unconscious of any infelicity
between them. In such case the un-
suspecting one, all unguarded In his
or her innocence, has been daily re-
cording In the accusing book, everyact
that would be prejudlced In the eyes
Of court or jury set down In black
and white and In cold blood. There is
NO distinction In law between divorce
sought In hot temper and divorce
with malice aforethought.
We sincerely trust that the holy
bonds of matrimony" will not become
generally vitiated by the practice of
keeping diary dating from the we'd
ding day, and that bride and groom

FAIR WoMANHooD.

So gentle and so bounteous doth ap-
pear
My lady, when she maketh salute,
That every tongue, trembling, be-
cometh mute;
The eye to look upon her doth not
dare.
Though conscious that her praise per-
vades the air,
In beauty clothed, she moveth mod
estly,
AS If she were a being from on
high,
Come down to earth to show a marvel
So grateful seems the vision from
above,
The heart drinks sweetness from the
entranced eye
Which would mock Fancy If 1t were
not proved;
And from her lips 1t seems as there
were moved
A delicate spirit, breathing full of love,
Which ever biddeth the rapt soul to
sigh.
Dante.
