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.

' 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.

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.” —Memphis scimitar.
