THE BOY WHO CAN'T SWIM.

why should not 80 per cent of the
boys be taught how to swim before
they are ten years of age? Boys in
the seaports along the coast at that
age can swim almost as naturally as
fish.
The boy who can't swim is a care
and a peril when in boat to the boy
or man who can. Norwich has just
had another lesson of a precious life
heroically lost on account of the boy
who could not swim. To have known
how to have swum then would have
been of more value to him than a
knowledge of music or half of the
dead languages. 1t would have saved
two lives.
The Hartford Courant assumes that
not one in fifty of the persons drowned
would have suffered such a fate had
they been able to swim, and then that
paper INDUCES in the following perth
nent inquiries:
Now, why in the world do we go
on this way, year in and year out, pay
ing no formal attention to swimming
as something that children should be
taught? 1t is inexplicable, unless
there are no textbooks on swimming
for the schoolbook trust to sell to
the cause of education. Swimming is
something taught in the water and
not at the desk or in the recitation
room. 1t ought to be part of the
compulsory course in every public
school. There is not a city where a
swimming tank could not easily be
provided. In some cases, no doubt,
other benefits than the acquisition of
this useful art might oe derived from
daily swim; but the first considera-
ton is to make sure that the boys and
girls learn this simple, easy and in
valua BILE process"
The parent who wants assurance
that his boy will not be drowned
should give attention to his aquatic
training and see that he knows how
to swim. Many a boy has learned
to swim in a day-few require more
than a week to know that they can
keep afioat like a seal. No accomplish
ment is of greater value to a boy sor
girl than this.

OVERWORkED PENNIES AND
NICKELS.

The measure Of American liberality
on all religious occasions where a con-
tribution is in order ranges between
the cent and the nickel. This last is
all that the average American will
give at a time in the interest of re-
ligious reform or the spread of the
Gospel No wonder that an Asbury
Park minister on Sunday. alluding to
lhe meagreness Of the collections. de-
Tlared that many persons who put a
rent in the plate dedicated to God
would be ashamed to hand a like
amount to a porter or a bellboy."
The Newark News, upon this, re-
Ealls the fact that "last summer about
100000 people attended the camp
meeting services in the Ocean Grove
auditorium and tabernacle. The COL
iections aggregated $7,174, or an aver
age Of about FIVE cents for each per-
son in attendance at each service. But
there were only 10000 nickels among
the contributions. Subtracting these
and also the dimes, quarters, dollars
and larger bills from the total and
the minuend indicates that there were
$4,000 persons who contributed one
cent each for the benefits they received
and for the further spread of the Cos
pei The total receipts of the camp
meetings were $1.562 less than the
expenses, and no wonder"
The $4,000 who let one penny 60 at
q time for the salvation of the race
should consider what might happen if
God dealt with man upon this same
small measure plan. We have heard
OF small potatoes and few in a hill"
but they are liberal compared with
this showing.

TEA BASKET.

For those who like tea there is a
pleasing little basket with tea pot and
cups in compact form.
These are excellent to take along
on ones travels and to use with the
moons.
The little basket is we'll made and
wadded inside. 1t is fitted with tea
pot and two cups in Japanese china.
A few have a small opening into
which the spout of the teapot fits,
which allows the tea to be poured
through it without lifting the pot
from the basket
This is considered a great conven-
fence by many. as the pot is kept hot
by the Wadding.

1.-The prevailing thought in my life
is that we are on a planet going, no
one knows where-probably to some
thing higher (Darwinian evolution), /"
writes Augustus Saint-Gaudens. But
whatever it is, the passage is terribly
sad and tragic. and to bear up against
what seems at times the great doom
that is over us, love and courage are
the great things. 1 try to express it
without entering into any philosophy
or definition of art. I care nothing
for the thousand PHILOSOPHERS about
art, the intricacies OF which seem too
complex for me to delve into. The
thing to do is to try and do good, and
any serious and earnest effort seems
to me to be, to our limited vision, a
drop in the ocean of evolution to
something better."-The Century.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

A Warnina.

There will be no more bills framed
in the senate like the Aldrich bill. It
is the last of its kind. The stand
patters'' in the upper house would be
extremely unwise to risk what they
have obtained in the pending revision
by rejecting a conference report and
inviting another experiment in tariff
making next year or the year after.
With the president, the house of rep
resentatives and the country arrayed
against them, they would be driven
to the defensive and would see a re-
vision undertaken over their heads in
volving reductions in the wool and
cotton schedules, left practically in
tact in the house bill of 1909. The
range" senators and the few other
high tariff extremists in the senate
will show intelligent self interest II

that the bird was in the box Mr.. Mid

fectionately and returned it. The bird

rather enjoyed the attention and con-
tentedly remained on the eggs.-Wil-

soil has disappeared from the feath-
