OF THEM.
Just as soon as the warm weather
sets in many persons who, at the close
of last'summer, were able to swim a few
strokes, will again somewhat timo'rous-
3y enter the water. '
The majority will find this self-
imPosed task far more difficult than is
anticipated. It is necessary to remind
those that indulgein short, hurried
Strokes that one of the golden rules of
swimming is to move slowly and de-
. Iiberately.
Those who wish to become good
swimmers must cultivate self-reliance,
and they should always bear in mind
that water itself has a sustaining power
Er greater than that of most other
liquids. ' ~
Trisew stroke is the very essence
Offlgood‘l swimnfing. It enables the
hather. toinliate the lungs and, thus un-
consciously turn them temporarily into
life preservers.
To move slowly is. to get plenty of
breathing time, and to get plenty of
breathing time is» .to,.get plenty of
strength to ‘ repeat the movements
which pooped the body through the
later. '. ,9 ‘
Thdmécdndfigplded r'iile which the
5021:3393. should school herself to, re-
member is that the living human body
is specifically lighter than water, and
that, c'o’nsequentlyh it does not neces.
sarily sink therein. '.
confidence in the sustaining power of
water is the only secret of swimming.
The best way to convince the novice of
the-buoyancy of water is to let her wade
outuntil the water comes up to her
breaét; but before doing this she should
take care, when .in shallow water, to
immerse her whole body, so as to avoid
the rush of blood to the head, from
which many bathers suffer through
neglecting to do this.
With the water once on a level with
the breast the bather Should lie on her
, hack andextend her arms out beyond
her head, but not raised out of the
water. This position makes breathing
easy and counterbalanyes the weight
of the legs. .
E The bather should lie restfully and
avoid stiffening the nether limbs. Tle
hips should be rigid, the feet close to-
gether, but not out of water, for if
they were they would overbalance the
" weight of the head and carny it bt-
month the water. - »

The display of rare and remarkably
beautiful plants in _Mr. St. John’s
greenhouse this- season, has attracted
much attention and admiration, notice-
ably the lovely specimens of amaryllis
iii-color presenting‘ a combination of
red and purest white. Also the size of
geraniums blOSSOins,‘ and their bril-
liaucy of coloring, with the general.
thrift and strength of the many varie-
ties of plant life “speak volumes” for
Mr. St. John's skill as a florist.

“If it were not for the women who
have bank accounts,” said a'paying
teller last week, “the routine of bank-
ing business would be deadly dull.
Wherever clerks from different banks
come together, one unfailing source of
amusement is the recital of what wo-
men have been doing in the banking
business. - For )nstance, a woman re-
cently went into the office-of the Ham-
llton Trust Company, in Brooklyn, and
'osked: 7 - ,
“ ‘15 Mr. Hamilton here?’
“‘No,~1nadam,’ said the clerk, who
remembered her as a. woman- who had
started an account the week previoué.
“ 'Where is he?" asked the woman.
“ ‘I don’t know, madam. Mr. Alex-
ander Hamilton is dead, you know.’
“ ‘I didn't know it,’ said the woman.
‘Oh, dear, I'm so sorry! Now, how
on earth am I to get my money?’
“And before the clerk could explain,
