nothing ef his previous evening's ex-

Swimming in the Air.
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. Besides, it must be owned
that a "dry -swim apparatus" newly in-
vented by a Cleveland, Ohio, man, of-
fers advantages altogether superior.
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.
The dry swlnamer inserts, his toes
into the half -shoes, and grips with hie
lesoids the two rings. Thus suspended,
he can go through all the mations or

ed soft water. The healing effeets of
this lotion will be appreciated when
applied to the cracks which sometimes
occur on the ends of the fingers. An-
other good lotion oalis fer two parts

Wheii the giycerine pireparationis

use one of the greaseless or disap-

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.

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

Value of Close Co-operation.
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.

Bobby's Sacrifice.
Bobby, freckled and snub -Posed and
lacking two teeth in front, was capable
of all kinds, ,of mischief, writes a West-

his devotion to me had won my heart.
I was a good deal disturbed because
some ene was stealing from the child-
ren's lunch baskets in the coat room.

whether he were guilty. The third
child was, shaking his head in solemn
denial when. Robert rose,
"You needn't ask anybody °lee, Miss

My heart sank, I had never thought
of Bobby in oonnection with the stolen
food, 1 had him remain in his seat af-

he dug cite bare toe into a crack in the
door and wiggled it back and forth.
