An old-faehioned method of teaching a youngster to swim is to balance him an his stomach upon a piano stool and show him the proper froglike motions. Per a grown person this is hardly dig- nified.

The contrivance employe a pair of ropes which are doubled and hung over a couple of strong hooks in the ceiling of a room. The ropes are passed through an oblong ring and thence extended in such wise as to support a long, narrow board. Near the ends of the board are slots, into which the ropes, fit, to be thereupon tied so that they may not slip. The long ends of the rapes thus hang from the board, a pair of them from each ex- tremity thereof. One pair terminates in two pockets, sha-ped like hall -shoes. The other pair carries a toUple of rings, which are held a littie distance apart by a spacer -ring above. being se- cured thereto by knots.

An- other good lotion oalis fer two parts each of boiled, soft water and vinegar, and one peat of glycerine. Wheii the giycerine pireparationis found to be too drying for the ,skin, use one of the greaseless or disap- pearing creams. A cream of this sort can be rubbed into the skin, leaving no trace an the surface, so that it can be used during the day, as well as at night before retiring. The cream is also absorbed into the roots oe the nails, and makes them soft and pli- able. counteracting the brittleness which eeuses the nails to break. The high winds of winter and early spring are hard on the scomplexion, and wind burn can be quite as painful as sunburn.. • Avciel bathing the .face directly after exposure to sett ox wind, as thie increases the depth and se- verity .of the bean and the color and number of the freckles. If it is con- sidered neceseary to bathe the face, do so in water as hot as can be borne, then apply a lotion. Use a lotion also whenever the sldn feels harsh or drawn. Cold weather and cold water have an astringent effeet upon the s.ikin and a lotion is needed to soften it. Lotions made of alinand oil are preferable to those containing -animal fats as they are less likely to make the hair grow. Fresh air, sleep, plain food and regular habits are necessary in order to overcome sredness of the nose. All ss2'dcy food and stimulating beverages, including tea and coffee, are forbidden.

The chief explanation for the boom in shipbuildirug has been that the Government in paying 12.000,000 merrier indemnity to shipowners for Lessee under the treaty required that 90 per cent. 61 thee be spent in build, ing 'new stipe in German Ship -garde Iand permitted only 10 per cent.

It is expected that Germany will be able to build 600,000 tons annually during the next few years. The rest of the 5,000,000 tons, which is the present goal, it is expected to obtain through purchases and represents the rosiest kind of optimism, which is net shared by all students of conditions.
