DARING FEATs OF SWIMMERS
Two Remarkable Aquatic Perform
ances That Have Aroused the
Worlds Admiration.

The aquatic feat performed by Jules
Gautier recently Is one of the most
remarkable on record. With hands
and feet manacled and his move
ments hampered by rope attached
round his waist to a waterman's
skin, he swan over the varsity boat
race course from Putney to Mortlake,
London, England, distance of four
and quarter miles, in an hour and
half. He finished quite fresh and
clambered into boat without assist
ance at the end of the swim.
1t Is not the first time, however.
that Gautier has swum 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 high water similarly handicapped
Particularly daring, however, was
the feat of certain music hall artist,
who In October last, 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 a boat waiting for him
after he had struck the water

The Nations skulI.Makinq.

Scientists, like poets, can be dithy-
rambic and rhapsodical, and lead gov
ernments into publishing works of
fiction in the guise of reports of in
vestigations. So while admitting to
the full all that the American envir-
onment does in affecting and modify
ing the inner being, mental outlook
and social customs of the many races
which come from abroad it will be
with considerable skepticism that
ethnologists read the latest report of
the immigration bureau on quickly at
tanned physical notifications. noted
in immigrants to this country. or at
least that portion of the report which
seems to show that structural changes
follow mere living in this &C ntry, ow-
ing to better nutrition, etc. OF course
where there are intermarrages and
blending Of types in parents it is to
be expected, and is visible to the most
careless observer. But, after ALL what
we are more concerned with is the
Americanizing of the contents of the
skull. American hatters and milliners
can be depended on to produce hats
to fit any shape of head.

Bran Bath Worth Trvino.

One of the latest things for the ner-
vous woman who is trying to reduce
her fractions nerves is the bran bath
just before retiring at night. This not
only has soothing effect, but Incl
dentally softens and whitens the skin.
To make the bath buy ordinary bran
at feed store and keep it in tin
box away from mice. Make a bag of
cheesecloth, from IL to 18 inches
square and stuff it with bran until
about as full as a pine pillow. This
bag is put in a bathtub half filled with
warm water and squeezed until the
water is brown and hubby. It is not

CITY A vERITABLE BEEHIVE
According to This, "Little Old New
York" Must BE About Crowded
to the Limit.

We are told that If the inmates of
all the Office buildings In the most
over-built section of lower New York
were to leave their skyscrapers at
the same time six strata of sidewalks
would be required to give this mass
footway.
1t is asserted that the population
of New York is growing at the rate of
10000 persons year, which means
that in the next half century the city
will contain double the number Of in
habitants that 1t does to-day.
Even granting that this rate of in
crease is somewhat exaggerated, the
necessity of arranging for tremendous
expansion is obvious to all. The
problems of transit up and down town
and from one quarter of the city to
the other, the means of ingress and
egress, cry aloud for immediate con-
sideration.
am reminded of the story of the
elderly spinster who was witness in
court and when asked her age hest
tated a long time. After much delay
and several repetitions of the question
the judge raped on the desk impa-
tiently and said: Hurry up, madam;
every minute makes it worse" This
is our present condition.-Harper's
Weekly.

GLAD OF HIS ASSISTANCE
But the Mssionary's Object Lesson
Evidently Had Little Real Effect
on Lazy Indians.

Indians and work are terms that are
not associated together. The ideas
are not even neighborly. Neverthe-
less one can get large amount of
work done by an Indian if the task
assigned to him takes the form of car
rying canoe over a portage, or of
setting traps for beaver, or of follow
ing moose through trackless forest,
with snow two feet deep and no snow
shoes. This is what a white man
would call work, but it is the Indians
recreati ton. What the savage Is at
farming is told in the pages of j. w.
Sanborn's book on the Seneca Indi-
ans
One day in May, making calls upon
the Indians, 1 observed three young
men of about 25 years blowing. To be
more exact, the Indians lay in the
shade of an apple-tree, the pillow slept
in the furrow, and the horses stood
nodding. Returning an hour later.
there was no change of base.
The thought occurred to me, Here
is a chance to give those lazy fellows
lesson they will not forget" So
hitching my horse, l jumped the rail
fence, took the reins, started the team.
and finished blowing the piece.
Then, turning to the aggravatingly
Indifferent three, as they "reclined
beneath the branches of widespread
tree" 1 volunteered the following adj
vice:
Boys, If you want to get on in the
world you must not spend much time
in the shade"
The Indians, delighted to know that
the job was finished, cried out to ask

THE APPETITE OF BoYHooD
Concerning the Good Old Food and
the Good Old Days Down on

The "old New Yorker" pushed the

his finger tips in the bowl and said
to his friend opposite: 1--WE eat too

The first speaker had listened with
growing enthusiasm as the other told
of those earlier days of good, honest
labor in Gods pure air, and when he
finished, said: II used to live on a
farm as a boy, too-and wasn't that
buttermilk and molasses good?"

Cut OFF Canadian lmportations.

Ten or twelve million bushels Of
Canadian barley were annually ex.
ported to the United States until 1890,
but the Mckinley tariff. by increasing
the duty from 10 cents to 80 cents a
bushel, cut off this trade Immediately.
In 1908 the United States bought only
100000 bushels of barley in the Do
minion. Similarly, Canada sent from
IA to Is million dozen of eggs annu-
ally to the republic, but the imposf-
ton of duty of S cents dozen de-
stroyed the United States market for
the Canadian egg dealer. In 1889 the
export of Canadian eggs to the United
States totaled 14,011,017 dozens; in
1905 only 2,3O5 dozens were sent

SPANISH CLIMATE IN WINTER
Many Cities and Localities That Are
Famed Throughout the World as
Health Resorts.

The most agreeable winter climate
in Spain and probably in Europe is
that of Malaga, which has mean
winter temperature of 55 degrees
Fahrenheit. The climate is extremely
beneficial to sufferers from rheuma
tism, but it is not at all recommended
in highly nervous cases.
There are at times unpleasant winds
but extremely little rain during the
winter months. Though a healthy
place, the sanitation of the town is
not good, but the unsanitary effects
are to a large extent neutralized by
the dry climate, by the sea air and
by the abundant and excellent water
supply.
Ronda is nearly 5000 feet above the
sea and has bracing climate-too
bracing, in fact for winter. Algeciras
is probably the most successful win
ter station in Spain, and since the
conference which was held there a
few years ago its hotels have been
full of visitors during the greater part
of late winter and spring Being
within easy reach of Gibraltar, the
place is by no means dull.
There are tennis courts, a golf
course, polo ground Cat Campamento),
and most of the meets of the Calpe
Hounds are as conveniently reached
from Algeciras as from Gibraltar
Yachting, boating and sea fishing may
be freely INDUCED in and driving ex-
cursions may be made in the direction
of Tarifa and Cadiz. More distant ex-
cursions include those to Tangier,
Granada, Seville and Malaga. Madrid
is too cold for January. 1t is at an
altitude Of 2,4OO feet. Seville is better
in March and April than in January.

POLL BOOKS COPIED:
NO FRAUD AS YET

NORFOLK. VA. Sept 2f,--Af-
ter holding three sessions, the last
of which continued until late into the
night, the subcommittee investigat-
ing the Second District Primary sue
ceeded in having the poll books Of
Norfolk. Portsmouth, Nansemond
county and portions of Princess Anne
and Norfolk counties copied.
If frauds were discovered, or If there
were any Irregularities at all dfscov-
cred, they were not made known.
There were all sorts OF rumors afioat
to the effect that duplicate names had
been found on the list and that more
votes were cast in some county pre-
cincts than there were registered vot-
ers. All of these reports. however,
lacked confirmation, and it Is now con-
fdentiy believed that a good many ir-
regularities will be found to have been
nothing more than natural mistakes.
While the fingers of suspicion were
pointed AT Norfolk as the hot bed of
crookedness and fraud. the books OPEN
ed yesterday failed to shew any great
Irregularities. according to the best in
formation obtainable. Ii liz believed
by many that there will be ITO great
frauds shown anywhere. There are
rumors that Norfolk county will show
some gross irregularities, but these are
rumors from partisan sources and are
absolutely without confirmation.
But the investigation is young vet
and there may be more than ore SEN
sation before ii is completed,
