elastic bands reach down and are
fastened just above the knees of the
trousers. Just outside the ankles are
fastened pair of fms, which give re-
sistance to the water on the back
ward stroke and fold in as the legs
are drawn forward. The elastic bands
help draw the legs forward and save
the swimmer all his strength for the
kick back. Equipped with such an
apparatus a beginner may feel per-
fectly safe in the water. and an expe-
rienced swimmer will find himself
able to swim miles further than he
could otherwise do. The suit is made
of light rubber so that it does not get
heavy by becoming water-soaked.

why SMALL BOY WAS HAPPY
Near-Sighted Stranger Thought Lad
Was Enjoying Sunset-Instead
SchooIhouse Was Burning.

AS the ruddy glow increased beyond
the brow of the hill the small boy ON
the bridge clapped his hands vigor-
ously.
"Ah, my lad" said the stranger, who
was somewhat near-sighted, ''it does
me good to see you appreciate yon
beautiful red sky"
yes. sir" responded the lad, with
his eyes glued on the distant glow.
I've been watching it for fifteen min
utes."
We'll, welli It isn't often one has
the opportunity of Witnessing such q
grand spectacle"
Couldn't be grander to me, sir"
"A real poet, without a doubt And
do you watch sunsets often, my little

Sunsets? Why. that isn't a sun

Not a sunset? Then what is it,-

EGG EXPERIMENT is UNIQUE
interesting Little Test Shows Why
It Is so Easy to Swim in
Salt Water.

Let US take two small pickle bottles
A and B, and one, c, twice as large
A is to be filed with clear water. If
now, we try to float a fresh egg in
the latter we shall assuredly fail; the
egg will Immediately sink to the bot
tom, because the density of water is
considerably less than that of the egg
says Magical Experiments. Next
place the egg in B, which is full OF
concentrated brine, and try to make
the egg sink. 1t is just as impossible
as to cause it to float in water. 1t is
thus clear that strong salt water is
denser than the egg; and, from this
simple experiment, we may guess why
it Is so much easier to swim in salt
than fresh water, since the greater
density of the former permits us the
more easily to float.
Now let us combine these two ex.
periments, and pour into C the greater
part Of both these fluids, water and
strong brine, which will, of course
commingle. By a few trials, pouring
in little more Of one or the other
we shall obtain liquid whose specific
gravity is identical with that of our
egg; and now the latter, having no
reason to go to the bottom, and find
ing no particular excuse to get to the

SMALLEST DOG IN AUSTRIA
Bakers Wife Gave r to Princess
Windischeratz. Thereby Making
Her Very Happy.

The Princess Windischgratz is the
granddaughter of the emperor Of Aus
tria. When she was but about eleven
years old she was known and loved as
the little Princess Elizabeth"
There lived baker in the city of
Vienna whose wife was particularly
fond of the little Princess Elizabeth.
This bakers wife had, in 1894, tiny
white dwarf dog given her, which was
so small that, when fuH-grown, IL
could sit on lady's hand So small
dog had never been seen before, and
people often came to the house ON
purpose to look at it,
1t was Christmas eve. The bakers
wife dressed herself in her Sunday
best, put the dog in a basket lined
with pink satin, and went to the pal
ace where Elizabeth lived No strang-
er was allowed to go into the palace
except by permission. She showed
the dog to the guards, and they were
so delighted with it that they man
aged to get her into the palace. and
when once in, it was not very difficult
to obtain permission from the court
authorities to see Princess Stephanie,

Your royal highness," said the
bakers wife, 'I hope that you will al
low me to present a little gift to your
daughter this Christmas eve"; and
then she uncovered the basket with
the tiny white dog in It,
lighted with it? And Of course the
little Princess Elizabeth was. She
loved it more than any of the rich
gifts which she received for Christ
mas. The dog remained very small
and never grew to be more than five
inches high.

Labor That Aids the World.

1t is true that al. wealth comes
from labor. but not necessarily from
labor by the hands. The thinkers Of
the world have added inestimably to
its development. 1t was a portrait
painter who invented the telegraph, a
college professor who produced the
telephone. and the list might be ex-
tended almost indefinitely. 1t Is well
that to-day. with all our indulgence
in rest and play. that we remember
that it is intelligently directed energy
of whatever kind which makes man
better and helps along the world to
the millennial dawn.

A LITTLE HERO.

He rides most daringly to hounds
Upon the rocking chair,
Or calls the cat a tiger fierce,
And stalks up to her lair.
The rug becomes a battle field
Where spears and banners toss,
The hall a river, wide and deep.
That he must swim across.
Behind each curtain fold he sees
An Indian chieftain grim,
And bandits throng the kitchen stairs,
And seek to capture him.
And when the stars begin to shine
In nights eternal arc,
He toddles up to bed alone,
Quite fearless of the dark.
-Minna Irving, in LesIie'a
