BEASTS ARE GOOD SWIMMERS
Rhlnoceros, Elephant, Elk, Reindeer
and Most Other Animals Better
Than Man In Water.

Nearly all animals are better swim
mers than man and take to the wa,
ter naturally, while. he has 10 learn
to propel himself. The rhinoceros
and hippopotamus are wonderful
swimmers and divers, while the In
dian elephant crosses great rivers
with heavy loads. The elk and rein
deer are first class swimmers. The
elk keeps his head above water and
crosses directly from bank to bank
to avoid turning. The reindeer, ON
the other hand, turns as often as he
likes, keeping his head only a little
above the surface. But Of all swim.
mers of all chimes the best, though
not the swiftest, is the polar bear,
who passes half his time in the wa
ter swimming and diving. His swim
ming power is nothing short of mi
raculous If It be remembered that
the water in the regions he frequents
is invariably cold and that cold il
normally prohibitive to good swim
ming. There are bears that can swim
from 40 to so kilometers without
great effort.
One of the swiftest swimming ami
mails is the squirrel. A sportsman ON
one occasion, having at hand a sQuir-
rel born in captivity, which had never
seen water, wanted to see If 1t could
swim, and took 1t with HIM in a row.
boat to the center OF a LAKE. The
squirrel turned toward the bank, head
and paws above the water, back and
t. underneath 1t, and began to swim
30 rapidly that 1t was with the great
est difficulty that the man recovered
It when it neared the shallow water
near the land. 1t is said that even
many non-aQuatic birds will swim
like ducks II an attempt be made to
drown them.-Harper's Weekly.

GOOD ADVICE.

There are so few Sunny Jim stu
atoms that people finally tire of
Sunny Jim philosophy. But there
is one thing you can always do:
make the best of every situation, and
l beg you to do that, although so
far as / am concerned, you needn't
whistle nor sing, nor laugh, while
about it; just grimly make the best
of whatever confronts you. An OPP
timist is a man who can transform
bad news into good news; there are
no real optimists except in news
paper and magazine articles written
by young men.-E. W. Howe's
Monthly.

CONSCIENCE ABOVE FAMILY.

ga mans wife and children have
claim on him for bread. A mans
parents have claim on him for
obedience while he is a child. A
mans uncles, aunts and cousins have
no claim on him at all, except for
help in necessity, which he can grant
and they require. None-wife, chill
dren, parents, relatives-none has a
claim to bar his judgment and his
actions. Sound the conscience and
sink the family! With a clear con-
science, it is best to leave the family
to its own debates. No man ever did
brave work who held counsel with
his family. The family view of a
mans fit conduct is the weak point
of the country. It's no other view
than, better thy condition for our
sakes. Ha! In this way we breed

In that interesting country the hotels

scRAPBooK NOW LITTLE USED
Was Once Interesting and Instructive
Diversion for Youngsters Of
Nursery.

Scrapbook collecting is a form Of
nursery diversion that has fewer adj
herents than it once had. Time was
when the youngsters devoted much
time and thought to gathering mate
rial with which to fill the books, and
who would succeed in having the
best collection was a matter of heat
ed competition. 1t seems a pity that
this form Of collecting should have
dropped into disfavor, for if rightly
directed it may be the means of de-
veloping traits in the child that
would otherwise lie dormant.
In the selection of clippings for
child's scrapbook a large proper
ton of space should be allotted to
verse.
The attention Of the child will
thus be directed to the many beauti-
full ideas that are clothed in musical
measure.
Numbers of grown folks can say
that many noble sentiment has be-
come fixed in their thoughts which
would perhaps have escaped them
had it not been presented in the
beautiful garb of poetry and had not
the making of scrapbooks been one
of the delights of their childhood.
Anecdotes and information about
birds, domestic pets and other ami
mails will help to teach the little folks
interest in any kindness to the little
furred and feathered people.

HOME A CENTER OF SERVICE
Old Time Ideals Of Hospitality Should
Be Maintained so Far az
Possible.

The ideal home is not self-centered.
1t is a center Of service. So far as
circumstances will permit, the old
time ideals of hospitality should be
maintained. In wise and uplifting
ways the home should be shared. 1t
is a good practice to invite young
people who are away from home. 1t
relieves loneliness, disbursement
and temptation. Remember It is
Not what we give, but what we share.
The gift without the giver is bare.
The home is the bulwark Of civil.
ization. Within the extreme limits Of
wealth and poverty a home may be
goood or bad, irrespective of social
position or property.
Our homes are what we choose to
make them. It Is a question OF what
we admit and what we kept out Of
them. Our best selves and the best
we have to give should go into the
home life, and to a large degree de-
termines the character of children.
The home tends to make US better
or worse. Thus the, home becomes the
chief factor IN determining the char
acter Of the community and the ma,
ton. The trend of our times is away
from the home into the countless
amusements and interests of modern
life.

ended the sensational romance OF the
former wife of Walter l.. Snydam and

Clasped in each others arms, they
were found ~lifeless from gas asphyxia-
ton in their pretty apartment at So
West Twelfth street. There was no
possibility of accident. Their street
clothes had been laid carefully away,
every room had been put to rights:
They were not happy together. They
really did not love one another. The
young wife never loved any man except
Walter Lisponard Snydam. the million
aire husband, from whom she ran away
on September 6 last. Fred Noble, the
son of a Brooklyn pluber, knew this;
knew that she married him only to set
herself as right as might be before the
world. He married her only to give her
what standing a wedding ring might i'm
part.
