REMARKABLE SWIMMING FEAT

The aquatic feat performed by Jules
Gautier recently is one of the most re-
markable on record. With hands and
feet manacled and his movements
hampered by rope being attached
round his waist to a waterman's skiff,
he swan over the varsity boat course
on the Thames from Putney to Mort
lake, a distance of just over four
miles, in an hour and a half. He fin.
ished quite fresh and clambered into
a boat without assistance at the end
of the swim.
1t is not the first time, however, that
Gautier has swum a long distance
with hands and feet tied. Five years
ago he swan from Putney Pier to
Tower Bridge, distance of nine
miles, in just over two hours, with
wrists and hands manacled together.
and has dived from London bridge at
low water similarly handicapped.
Particularly daring, however, was
the feat of a certain music hall artist.
who jumped from Westminster bridge
into the river while manacled with
an iron band round his neck, linked
with an iron chain to leg irons, and
five handouts stretched across his
arms. He could not swim a stroke,
but was quickly hauled into boat
waiting for him after he had struck
the water.

THE VERY SOUL OF TRAGEDY
Recital of Wrong Calculated to Draw
Tears from the Eyes OF
Craven Image.

Some miscreant, unresponsive to the
beauties of nature and of the sweet
charm evoked by the combination OF
two friends, starry sky and a broad
expanse of moonlit water, some rank
materialist whose phlegmatic dlsposl-
ton was never stirred at philan-
thropic act, some petty seeker after
gain, some rogue, has stolen the broad,
comfortable bench so f1ttingly placed
on the Mulberry street wharf by Harry
J. Arnold and Robert King. At least
the bench has disappeared, and all
that meets ones eyes upon the green
sward are the two upright posts that
supported the back of the seat. No
more can lovesick youth stray to it's
soothing recesses and gaze upon the
silvery moon, regent of the night,
likening her in his ecstasy to his lady
fair. No more, alas, can betrothed
pair seek it's secrecy and drink the
lovelight from each others eyes, silent
but for the words their souls speak
through their optics. Again, alas, no

lines of distinction between animal
life which belongs to the land ana
that which belongs to the water. II
we can believe the accounts OF nat
uralists, there are fishes that ira
verse dry land.
1t is reported that DR.. Francis Day
of India, has collected several in
stances OF the migration OF fishes by
land from one piece of water to an
other.
A party of English officers were
upon one occasion encamped IN a GER
tain part of India, when their atten'
ton was attracted by rustling sound
in the grass and leaves. Investigation
showed it to be caused by myriads
of little fishes that were making for
one direction and were passing SLOW
ly on. There were hundreds of them
moving by using their side and small
fins as feet; now upright, now falling
down, squirming, bending, rolling
over, regaining their f1nny feet and
again pressing on.
These fishes were the famous climb
ing perch, about which so much has
been said and written, and they were
passing over the country to avoid a
drought. When the stream in which
they have been spending the season
dries up, they scale the banks, and,
directed by some marvellous instinct,

And He Suffered.

Little Willie, suffering from an at
tack of toothache, had paid his first
visit to the dentist, accompanied by
his mother. Father, on his return
from the office that evening, was nat
urally much interested.
Didn't it hurt?" asked father.

started all those zizZ-zizz-ZizZ things?''
"Oh, not so much"
THAT was brave boy. But, surely,
you suffered?"
"Of course l suffered. But I just
kept repeating over and over the
golden text we had in Sunday school
last Sunday"
"The golden text? What was it,"
'sWhy, Suffer little children to come
unto me-" replied Willie, glibly. Il
kept saying that over and over to my
self, and the first thing knew it didn't
hurt any more"

The manager Of the employment

CHILD ATE CUTICURA
OINTMENT.
Spread Whole Box of 1t on Crackers
MOT the Least Injury Resulted.
cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
my three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on trip across
tie Atlantic, investigated the. state
room and located a box Of graham
crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. When a search was made for
the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on
the crackers. It cured him Of a bad
cold aud I don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient OF Gu
ticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. If it may be
safely eaten by young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend its application to even
the tenderest skin or youngest infant.

MUSKET IN A PINE TREE

An interesting discovery was made
recently by lumbermen who were fell
ing trees in Pike county, Pennsylvania,
near the town of Shohola. A particular
~ large pine tree was cut down, but
its base was found to be defective,
and a second cutting was made high
er up on the trunk in order to secure
a sound end for the log. Then it was
seen that the tree was hollow, but the
old aperture had grown over and pre-
scented a perfect exterior. Greatly to
the surprise of the woodsmen, an old
filint-lock musket was found in this
cavity. 1t was such weapon as the
early pioneers carried, and the bar
rel was deeply eaten away by rust.
