In thia connection lt will be inter esting to. note what The Chronicle. Augusta. Ua., sayB in commendation of a little Georgia town that has put/hod to the front -in an effort to add to the attractiveness of tho mun icipality. Tho editorial account ls given in full us follow: The Chronicle learns that Boston, Ca., a little town down In the south west corner of the stato, has estab lished a municipal bathing pool. The to v.-ii was not exactly able to put on a fcee attraction) so to ?peak, so they made a .scala of prices which amount ed to just o. littlo moro than cost, to supply tho local population, -but in order to retalnn tho rights and privileges for tho /oiks at home, they put an ordinary price on the peo ple from out of town. This was oe* caoioncd by tho (act that the Boston avimmlr.,-; pool wau literally infested with humlrcdu of people from thc towns for ? weniy-??ve uttln? ?roun?; the good roads of that section making lt easy of access. Tho result bas been rtupendouB, fofr they havo cleared hundreds of dollars since ibo inau guration of the swimming pool Idea:'* Tho big Idea of recreation is find ing response In all parts of the coun try. 'In many Instances where largo factories .arc located the factories 'themselves are. providing play groundsr baseball grounds and swim ming pools for their employees. It has been, proven thoroughly that "tho establishment, of these places is moat gratifying from the economic stand point, for lt improves tho physical condition of the employees of the stores and factorlcu and add3 greatly to tho BoctaUblty of the community Ufo of tho workers, lt is doclarcd that H: makes tho wage-earners moro cheer lui and large inau&trlal con corlis,, reap great reward from tho ier.ro.itiou projects.

The army comes oext, for use in case the navy should fall, and for such police duty as is necessary at home and among troublesome neighbors'. The coast defenses, in the nature of things, cannot take the place of the army. We canriot 'possibly (establish and maintain forts enough to protect all our immense stretches of coastline. All we can properly expect to do Is to protect our rich seaports and cer tain othes strategic points. And the plans adopted seem reasonably fitted to th.at purpose. For inland forts we have no u e at all. Our coast defense was already in better shape than the army or navy. The addition?! men, ammunition and guns provided, particularly tho guns of heavy caliber designed to equal in range and hitting power those of any fleet that may bo brought against them, ought to leave no doubt in tho publlcmind regarding thia branch or our defence. ^ OME W/TORIES SON GA V K HIM IDEAS Hoir Late (JoTeraor Began Iib' "Peck's Bad Boy.?* (From an Exchange.) An Interesting sidelight on tho lalo Governor Peck's character is disclosed by a passage in a letter once written to The Detroit Newe lu reply to a request that ho . for ward material for his lifo story. Mr. Pock wrote: "What do. you want stuff about me for any..ay? I am a democrat and may never dio so rou can use tho stuff about mo. Somo of us havo agreed not to dlo until the democrats elect a president. So wc may keep on living until the mil lennium-who knows." Mr.' Peck was. famous In Wiscon sin for hlr, roi carnation, an he in variably wore such a 'blossom. "How did 1 come to think nf the bad boy? Well, my son carno In one day. and told mo. a story, about a boy who wrote. a noto to his father in a fino band, slgnod Daisy, in Viting tho fattier to meet her at .?be corner by tho bank. Woll, it worked, and tho old man put on lils host clothes and stood on. tho hank com er, while that confounded boy kept coming past and asking his father what he was'walting for. Finally tho old man gave the boy a dollar to go to tho theatre with and got rid of him. Tint struck me as funny, ? evory paper , in tho .. United States 'did1 and .1 ' thought f would give them more of it. It added 80,000 oufbscriborl' to my weekly paper." . SUJI There Are Heroines. (From the Hartford Courant.) Ono ot' the ' fow desirable results of th's Mexican muddle has boon that lt has shown that there aro Btill heroines, women who aro ready to p?Tt with their sens, hubanda or Bwoethoarto, as tho ca&ro may be, in obedience to the call by President Wilson. They ard responding nobly; mon aro oven getting married before going to tho. front,'possibly with a view of being sure of a fight, oven though the . troublo on tho Trordor ls* averted, but it reamlns tor Water bury .to furnish a most ellinging ex ample of tho willingness of a woman to . sacrifico hor husband . upon " tho altar of hor chun try. ." Tho flore is told in the Water bury republican, and it stirring enough, On Monday evening Capt. H. B. Carter was examining various applicants and found' one. who had a wife and three chlldron, but who wanted ab go to Um front., Ho told Captain Cartor that his wife would Ddt object but ho wan. aakod to bring et lettor from, hor and ho said that lie would be back with lt within half on. hour, Ho was as good as his word, and tho. letter which be : brought back! from his1 "wife btye out his statement, ; It was brief an* j to the : point, and read as follows, "I hope ."the first bullet that ls tired knocks his d-n hoad off." It was sufficient. It ls hnrd to see- how tito Roman macrons or any ot tho f? fboua"worner of antiquity could have expressed" xiiomsolvoa with more brevityVor resolution.

As compactly built as' a torpedo boat, with no fancy frills or furbe lows about him, the little Chimney Swift, or as ho ls called In tho Mouth, the Chimnoy sweep,,is ono of our most Interesting summtertimo visitor. He may lack the soft outllnse, and the dainty prettiness of many birds, but when it comes to strength and en durance, considering his size, ho ls the peer of any caglo that ever lived As hard as nails, as tongh as shark skin, he looks moro like some big beetle hurtling through the air, than a tiny, lilllie bfrd with feathers and feeling. 1 UH very motions are stiff and mechanical; hhs wings seem to have bul one joint, and that, where they are fosteucd to tho body. As ho comes doddilng towards you, he ap I pears to use tlrst ono wing nnd ijien 'the other, as he rows b.!.*? little black body through tho air. Ho ls at least an Inch shorter than the " English sparrow, but his long, reaper like wings make him seem much i urger. His stump of a tall would have the appearance of having been chopped square off. were it not for tho stiff, spines that extend beyond the end of tho feathers. His feet aro small, but arc as strong os wire, and armed with long curved claws. Hold ono of 'those birds in the hand and tho claws clasp tho fingers with a grip of steel; and as you try to force the claws apart, you can hardly realizo that creature HO small, could exert such strength. He dresses in a shade of gray that is almost black, so he docs not hesi tate to dive, head foremost, down the flue of a smutty chimney; soot does show on tho kind of clothes he wears, so he docs not have that to bother about. Befro thcro wore chimneys, tho swift roosicd and built his nest in hol low trees; Audubon, relates. having counted over nine thousand clinging to a certain plane treo in Kentucky. As the country becamo thickly set tled, he roado tho discovery that chim ney flues were might ly good- substi tutos for hedlow trees and he prompt ly changed, his mode. ot' ; living, and moved. When tho;- lasfc; cool days', of .spring aro past, and tho danger ot fires .being lighted, seems remote, the shrift taker, possession of .our chim neys, and calls them his . own, . until we need them again, in the fall. He ls first, last, and all tho time, a being of i he air.' His breakfast, din ner and supper uro eaten aa he slides through spaco at tho rate ot about a milo a minute. His' 'cou rf lug is ateo done as ho passes lils sweetheart at tho samo high rata Ot speed; she has to bo quick about tho an wer she gi voa, for if she hesitate!!, hb is out of hear lng and making tho same twittering avowal to, some, other dusky maiden as be passoB. li It is a very -rare thing to seo one of them nt,, re st! even when gat hering twigs for tho nest, they nev er alight; a dead limb Is lightly brushed by a passing 'wing, a dislodg ed particle ls caught before it reaches tho ground, and carried to the.chosen chimney. Tho nest they build ls a curiosity, lt is a kind Of a bay-window ns-mug?me n't, much like the sliced off half of a little wicker basket; It is fastened to the smooth surface ot the brick by a glutinous substance, thought to be tho saliva of the bird itBolt. '.' Each twig ls snitover'.'with this home-made' gluo,/*nd"when, once put in placo lt 1B there for -keeps, un i?se a long damp spell' should cause thc glue to soften, when "Down comes eradlo, babies and all." - Tho only function of bird life that is not performed while on tho wing, ls Blooping; for this purpose they are obliged to fold their winga, and keep quiet . for a . time.'' They' roost plas? terod flat against the brick, holding na ib/ tho ?laws that grip like' tenu ?ored hooks, leah back on the stiff .t?tnted feathers, and' snatch "a ' few inure rest Possibly the reason why thor lo not sleep om the wing. Is tha they would probably continue to fly In a straight linc, ? and whfen they waked np, would find themselves in some foreign country and the nest and babies a thousand miles away.
