TO THIS MAN WHO HAS QUIETLY
INVESTIGATED CONDITIONS IN
THE ARBUCkLES.

J. r. Marlborough OF Racine, Wis

nearly a month without attracting a
particle Of attention.
Mr.. Marlborough is a mineralogist
Of no mean distinction, and has been

his home. and he takes with him spec

When interviewed this morning he
was very non-committal, merely say
ing, You people here hardly know
what you possess at your very doors,
but you will some day, because the
eyes OF the world are upon you and
capital will develope your wonderful
resources as soon as appraised OF the
fact that you actually possess them.
and as to that fact, there is no doubt.

delightful being. To me her great
charm lies in her modesty and fresh
ness and the wonderful childlike quail
1ty Of her outlook upon life. a quality
distinctly lacking in the typical Amer
lean girl. l think it is accounted for
by the greater intimacy of family life
In England.
"In their earliest years American
girls are more with their parents and
are not sent away from home SO soon
as in England. but later there seems
to be far more friendship between the
parents and children in. England than
in America. The American girl as
serts her Independence very early and
becomes more aggressive in conse-
quence. She is. admit. better poised
than the English girl and is more en-
PERTAINING. but unless she has had wise
guidance she often develops some very
unpleasant qualities"
Mrs. Wilcox is a student Of oriental
PHILOSOPHERS. literature and history,
and her observations on India. which
she visited on her travels, are valua-
bic. She especially admires Mrs. Be-
SAINT, whom she considers to be doing
the most wonderful work of her time

fiinta To Swimmers

An expert swimmer is authority for
the assertion that a vast majority OF
the drowning casualties which are at
tributet to cramps are in all probable
ity the result Of cardiac exhaustion.
Nearly all experienced swimmers. he
says, know that cramps when in the
water are of comparatively infrequent
occurrence. 1t is commonly in the calf
of the leg. and the swimmer by lying
quietly upon his back without undue
alarm and stretching out the leg may
overcome this somewhat painful invol-
untary muscular contraction. The ex-
ertion Of swimming. however. is fully
equal to the exertion Of running. with
the additional tax upon the system Of
q gradual lowering Of the bodily tenn
perature. 1t is one thing to know how
to swim and quite another to be in a
physical condition to do the swimming.
