UNION OF THE BLUE AND GRAY
National Encampment Of All Surviving
Veterans of Civil Strife Is sug-
gested by lesIie's.

The veterans of the Civil strife are
rapidly decreasing in numbers, but
national encampment of all survivors
of both sides of the conflict would be
imposing for its very size. Such an
event has already been prefgured by
smaller gatherings of Grand Army vet
Grams and confederates in celebrations
of lesser Importance, and on frequent
occasions when the same impartial
hands have placed flowers on the
graves of the heroes of both north and
south, says Leslie's Magazine. A
great national encampment, calling
together from every state in the Union
the veterans Of blue and gray would
furnish most dramatic Illustration of
a country united in sentiment as well
as by the constitution. In the mind
of the new generation which has
grown up since the war there exists
no feeling of sectional hatred or dis
trust, and If the men who fought one
another can now meet together as
brothers about one campfire, Mason
and Dixon's line will once for all be
wiped off the map. The discussion
itself of such an encampment will do
good, but we can see no insuperable
barrier to the full realization of the
proposal of Commander-in-C Chief Van
SAINT at the recent encampment at
Atlantic City of the Grand Army of the
Republic.

TEACHES ART OF SWIMMING
Apparatus Invented by California
Man Makes Children Proficient
Without Aid Of Water.

An apparatus to teach swimming
without water has been invented by q
California man. The principle lies In
the fact that 1t will teach the proper
stroke because no other is possible,
and when this movement has become
habit the pupil will strike out in the
correct way as soon as he or she
hits the water. The novice lies on q
padded support, which extends to her
knees. She grasps pair of pulleys
above her head. and attached to
these pulleys, are cables. The cable
in her right hand is fastened to her
left ankle and that In her left hand

LEARNING ART Of COUNTING
African savages Have Interesting
Method Of caIcuIating-Use
Both Feet and Hands.

Do you remember learning to
count? dare say not. But 1 am
pretty sure you learned to count on
your fingers. or perhaps you were
given bright counters or shells to use
instead.
Savages learn to count in just the
same ways; most Of them use their
fingers, and so they learn to count
by tens as we do, and some of them
give their numbers very funny names.
The Indians on the Orinoco call five
zone hand" and ten 1.-TWO hands" But
they use their feet as well and call
fifteen whole foot" sixteen zone to
the other foot" and twenty zone
man" This plan becomes very COM
plicated with higher figures, for twen-
ty-one is zone to the hand of the next
man"
The African savages count in much
the same way. The Zulu for six Is
"tatisitupa," which means taking the
thumb" that is, the man who is
counting has used the five fingers of
one hand, and is beginning to use the
second hand, starting at the thumb.
Some races use the joints of the
finger instead of the fingers them
selves, and they are very badly off,
for they can only count up to three.
Some Australian tribes count thus
one, two, two-one, two-two, and can
go no further. Other races have only
three words, "one," "two," "a great
many"
But savages sometimes use other
things for counting than fingers or
joints Our own word Calculate"
means working with pebbles" One
African tribe calls forty "ogodze,"
which means String" because they
use cowrie shells strung together by
forties for counting. Their name for
hundred is "yha," which means
"heap"-tbat is, heap Of cowries.

MIsHAP TO "JAck AND JILL"
Certain Familiar Mother Goose Rhyme
Is Revised by Copy Read In
Newspaper Office.

Good nonsense grows out OF good
nonsense. A writer in the Chicago
Tribune imagines what "copy-read-
er" in newspaper office would do
with a certain familiar Mother Goose
rhyme. The copy-reader, who has
had reporters training, and has
learned to write everything alike, sits
down for a few moments, and revises
Jack and Jill" somewhat as follows:
Jack, aged seven, son Of Peter Jones,
298 Spring street, and Jill, aged six,
daughter Of Mrs. Abigail Thompson,
296 Spring street, at eleven o'clock
yesterday morning walked up the hill
near the junction Of Blinker avenue
and Fordyce place.
For the purpose, as Jill afterward
explained, of procuring pail of water
although the improbability of their
finding water at the top of hill nat
urally suggests itself.
Jack, who was carrying the pail,
had started on the return trip, accom-
panied by the little girl, when he
stumbled, as is supposed, over some
obstacle in his path, and fell, his head
striking the ground with great vio-
lence. Doctor Slack, who was at once
summoned, pronounced the lads in
jury to be fracture of the anterior
portion of the Uranium, and ordered
his immediate removal to Blessington
hospital
And Jill, who had fallen at the sans
time, either through excessive fright
OF in consequence of having stumbled
over the same obstacle, but had re-
ceived no serious injury, went homo
