The broken. Prof. Trowbridge and Prof. Perry were in their respec- tive rooms bleeping. Their rooms adjoin, but do not communicate. About midnight both men were awakened by loud raps at their doors, and they were 'urged to cress quickly, as they were need- ed. The request was complied with, and almost simultaneously they emerged from their rooms. They were -seized and blindfolded, and before they hardly realized what was going on their arms and legs were stoutly pinioned. Then for a moment the bandages were removed from their eyes, and they saw a score or more of mask- ed men, evidently students. 'Prof. Tru .vbridge begged to know the meaning of the indig- nity, and was told in sepulchral tones to "remember Lot's wife." Prof. Perry, thoroughly frighten- ed, asked his assailants to notify his friends, if the intention was to murder him. No reply was made to this, and the bandages were placed over the eyes of the educators. Then two squads of four each grabbed the luckless professors and the march was tak- en up. It was about half an hour when a stop was made. Not a word had been spoken during the journey. The halt took place about half a mile outside the city, and here the professors were car- ried into a cornfield. Their fast- enings were then carefully exam- ined and pronounced all right, and the kidnappers departed. "By dint of sundry contortion, Professor Trowbridge wormed a knife out of his pocket and cut the straps that bound Perry. The latter released Trowbridge slid both men made their way to the college. Next morning Prof. Perry tried to secure a warrant for the arrest of twenty students whom he suspected, but the Just- ice said they had committed no critne and the warrant was refus- ed. The matter will therefore be settled by the faculty if they can discover the perpetrators. Trow- bridge and Perry have made en- emies in the class -room, and this outrage is thought to be tlie re- sult." majority of she bathers of the gentler sex conbider swimming an ae omplishinent of no mean im- portance, had a great deal of time and money is devoted to attain some perfection in this admirable fort of sport. It is easier for women to swim then for men. People who have had practical ex- perience will, I am sure, agree with me in this. The build of women, - with their light bones and general average plumpness, in nearly every instance, enables ,w them to float at the very outset. This is something that even men who are expert swimmers often find it impossible to do. I have known many a slim, well-trained and powerful athlete who could not float two minutes on the water, while there were dozens of women all round him who only needed a little courage to enable them to lie as comfortably on the water as though they were in hammocks. In learning to swim, they need confidence and courage, and they ao not possess these two requisites in the majority of in- stances, because the men in the first place magnify the dangers of the water, and in the second .place they think it clever to in- dulge in the silly practice of maul- ing and ducking women until they implant a fueling of terror which inevitably prevents any real progress in the direction of swimming. I know nn elderly yachtman who had made swim - fining something of a study, and who rs a convert to the belief—as t are most men who have looked into the question carefully—that women are natural swimmers. There happened to be five women present one morning on a piazza at Seabright during the talk of the old yachtman. He wound up his harangue by saying that when they went into the water that afternoon he would prove by experiment that every one of the women could float in water over their heads. He went about the matter in adecidedly serious way, taking one girl after another, and he was Successful in every in- stance. His method was peculiar and may be worth a line of do• acription. In the first -place, he made the women close their eyes tight so that they could not see him; then he laid them along the water, supporting them first by a hand' under the bead, then after- ward by a gentle pressure on the waist. tirraduaIly he took his hands away and hell them up in • the air so that everybody could ?e see the girls floeting without any help from him. Occasionally he would move off a yard or so and leaving the young woman floating serenely there under the impression that be was holding her up all the time. Of course if the girl discovered that she was alone, she straightway opened her mouth, gave a mighty yell, swallowed a lot of salt water and went plump to the bottom.— As lou.g,.,she supposed that a big and s' < y swimmer was near her she floated with perfect 13trccess. After she had once learrned• to float it was and easy matter for her to swim on her back, and so what was looked upon as such a difficult thing to learn becomes .easy once the trick is known.'

SUPERSTITIOUS SIOUX. A PRAIRIE MARDI OFFERS TO LEAD .,Tits TRIBE TO A SPIRIT LAND. QW.TUB GRIM 1:01F5 IST PAL ESTINB. A n . interesan•„ of Miry the gentry uirig 111 1',11, sane is,Rir'en :n ('x:.r-e!l's '1' lloly Land aid the Bible : ' t very large circular tray of timed cop— per, placed on a coarse wooden drool about a foot high, serves as the table. In the centre of this btdod another tray, with a moun- tain of pillau, composed of rice boiled and buttered, with small pieces of meat strewn through and upon it. This was the chief dish, though there were other smaller dishes, both meat and vegetables. Ten persons sat round the table, or rather squat- ted on the carpet, with their knees drawn close to their bodies. Each had before him a plate of tinned copper and a wooden spoon, which some used without the plate. Most, however, pre- ferred 10 use the finger of left hand, several dipping their hands together into the dish, as the disciples did at the Last Supper. As soon as anyone had finished, he rose and went into another room, to have water poured over his hands to wash them, and the vacant place at the table was in- stantly tilled by a new comer. The broad, I may say, was laid on the mat under the tray, so as to be easily reached ; and a jar of water, the only beverage uned during the meal, stood within reach. Besides rice, stews of becns or cracked wheat, with thick soup or sauce poured over them, in the great central bowl,are also in fashion. Spoons, though sometimes provided, are often wanting—pieces of thin bread, doubled, serving instead. Knives and forks are unknown ; and as there is no special dining - room, there is no furniture suited for one. Hence tables and chairs are never seen. The meat always being cut up into small pieces, there is no need for a knife, and chickens can easily be torn asun- der with the hands. So far, in- deed are Orientals from thinking it strange to dip their fingers into t'10 common dish, that it is a I spc.:::ll net of politeness to grope in it for sist on mouth. Pierre, South Dakota, Septem- ber 19.—Two weeks ago a young chief, who had been absent from the reservation a year, returned, telling his people that he had visit- ed the Happy Spirit Land during his absence, and that his mission back to the now gameless prai- ries of the reservation was to lead all of the great Sioux nation of North American Indians to the happy spirit, with whom he had spent the pat;t year so pleasantly. T4 mysterious young chief told the superstitious Ir'diatas that to %.4,in entrance to that beautiful lea, where game and fish of all kinds were plentiful and where a continual Indian summer lasted, they must first join a grand dance lasting five days and nights. Of course nearly all the Indiana be- lieved the j oung mans story, and accordingly all the Z:adians in the interior of the reservation assembledaaid adance began. The authorities in the meantime heard of the strange proceeiings to de- populate the agencies and at once took steps to put a stop to the dance. Four Indianpolice were sent to disperse the redskins, but the policemen were quickly gath- ered in and disarmed and sent back to the agency. The Indians continued the dance dor two or three days and nights until they fell exhausted, only to 'make weak efforts to continue. Finally a squad of twenty-five policemen dispersed the crowd, nearly all of them having danced until com- pletely fatigued and resistance being useless. It in believed that they will again attempt a five days' dance before long. THE OLD IRELIABLE. In these days of Humbug it ie a relief to hear of eomething thatcan bedepend- edupon.

A lady of Warsaw advertised in the papers that she was willing to accept proposals for marriage, and, giving a description of her- self, she also enumerated the qualifications she required in her suitor. Among these she men - tioned that he must be the owner of real estate. She received many letters in replv,but ono of them was strictly original. The writer said that he possessed all that which the ladydesired in herfuture husband. He was good looking, he held a responsible position, he had many friends and was re- ceived in .good society, and could support a family comfortably. As to real estate, he had that, too; he was owner of a plot of ground in a oemetery, which was large enough to accommodate him, a wife and six children. The lady selected the writer of this letter from the whole number of suitors. She opined that a young man of his position who had thought of acquiring graves for himself and a large family before he was mar- ried was surely worthy of the endowmentof her band and heart., --Chicago Herald.
