ever read , a Dutch . , joke , , . in the .- papers

talking to each other?”
"Sure 1 did," said the tall young
man, yawning languidly.
"Well, di<l you ever notice that every
time the guy that wrote the Joke lias
them Jabliering at each other in bro¬

this?” lie picked up the paper again
and after hunting a few moments read
as follows:

"Now. that's a good thing, Isn't it?"
went on the man with the bad cigar.
"If those two Hermans wanted to talk
to each other, do you suppose they

Herman that they both understand.
Suppose you and I were in Oormnuy

"But that would spoil the joke," pro

The superintendent of one of the shops
which Mr. Janvier established was
named Wai. and he proved a very in¬
telligent fellow. During an interval of
about six weeks lie borrowed the cali¬
per almost daily, and was rather tardy
in returning it.
Finally lie exhibited to the American

Certain: tables of figures stamped into
the steel by the Yankee maker of the
original were omitted from the copy,
and in their place were several Chinese
eharaeters. Tie imitation had liven
made with the rudest of tools, but was
a marvel of accuracy Mr Wai pro¬
posed an exchange to Mr Janvier, and
the latter agreed to the proposition.’—

Tlu* Correct Stroke 5vriSnq;.
The correct stroke of the legs Is ex¬
actly like that of a frog's hind legs.
Watch one of these frogs and copy his
style. You cannot do better The legs
are drawn up together slowly, not with
a jerk, until they ar«' gathered in
elose under the body. 1 lien with a
sudden, quick spring they are shot out
behind,; the ankles being turned so
that the soles of the fee present as flat
a surface as possible to the water and
so offer more resistance from which
to make progress, As the kick is
made the legs should be spread out in
tiie shape of a letter V, but not allowed
to sink far down under tiie surface of
the water. If they kick downward at
an angle Instead of out straight be
bind much of their energy Is wasted in
unnecessarily forcing tho body out of
the water instead of forward through
it.—Harper's Bazar.

Botany, rightly understood, is the art

can-led out to sea, anil when almost
out of sight ami all hope had fled, to
cur surprise, we suddenly saw his
hotly impelled forcibly toward us.
' Then we saw it recede a few feet, and
then again, as it were, shoot 20 feet
toward the shore. This continued un¬
til my sou and myself, at last able to
reach him, bore him insensible to the
beach.
After recovery his story was that
after losing all hope, guided by some
mysterious impulse, be had turned
upon his back, when he felt himself
carried rapidly forward. He had then
turned over upon his face to get bis
bearings, when he was carried out far
ther from the land, and on again pine
ing himself upon his back the surface
waves brought him rapidly to the
shore, a rescued man.
It is an error that the drowning man
is attacked by cramp except in very
cold weather. He drowns from heart
failure, induced by the violent exertion
and flic upward pressure of the water
upon the abdomen diminishing the
.
space and impeding the action of the
heart. By turning over on the back
this pressure is removed, the back be¬
ing almost entirely a strong wall of
bone and muscle; also when on the
back the entire body is nearer the sur¬
face, and the surface waves tend to¬
ward the shore, the undercurrent out
to sea, even the legs when upon the
back being less exposed to the current
that tends toward the sea. By floating
gently upon the back the heart, re
lieved of its pressure, becomes calm
and quiet, and the swimmer can re¬
gain his strength and float for hours.
The bather whose heart is weak should
fl ] V rays present, when standing erect,
the right j,„ side of the body to the waves
nm j t s avoid the Suilivaulikc blows
of the incoming waves upon a crippled
heart. In every bathhouse should be
posted the injunction. "In case of ex
hnustion or accident turn upon the
back.”—Jacksonville Metropolis.
Disappointed.
A young man of this city rang up a
lady acquaintance cf ids in Court
street some days ago. but instead of
her answering the phone herself her
elder sister did so The young man
recognized the difference at once and
said in a suave, mellow voice:
"Won't you please deliver a message
to Miss Clara?"
Delighted at the prospect of carrying
existed between her sister ar the
young man at the other end of the line,
she answered:
“Why. certainty, with the greatest of
pleasure.”
“Well, tel’ her to come to the phone.”

I'onr finoil Habits.
There are four good habits— punotu
ality. accuracy, steadiness aud dis
patch. Without the first of these time
is wasted. Without tiie second, mis
takes tiie most hurtful to our own
credit and interest and that of others
may lie committed. Without the third,
nothing can be well done, and without
the fourth opportunities of great ad
vantage are lost, which it is impos
Bible to recall.
