There were seven sons and five daughters, and we knew nothing of that dainty care which surrounds the families in many of our present house holds. Our parents held a great city in horror, As for them, their children must be brought up in the country. Thirty acres about the house, within walking distance of the village. and an outlying farm, a large portion of it covered with the primeval forest, was thought to be little enough to furnish scope and right conditions for the sturdy development of the sons and daughters. Work there was in abundance, and it must be done?such work as had to be met with ax, and spade, and 1 1 ? ? J Ttf? fK VjAfPOO gnovei, uuu rat^e, <iuu uuc, v??i,u um and wagons, and plows, and harsows, and all the implements known and needed in a large garden or on a large farm. The lighted caudles and lamps anticipated the day by several half hours in the winter, and in the summer the early sun was the signal call to the early labors. Such a life, too, was not without its perils; colts were wild, and sometimes had to be broken, and horses would sometimes run away, and there was scarce a boy of seven who did not bear marks of the mishaps he had had with animals on the place. But it was not all work. Our father knew how to recognize a boy's irrepressible demand for recreation and fun; so he permitted us to have dogs and guns outdoors, and musical instruments and some games for indoor life. All work, he well knew, makes the lout and degrades to the level of a machine?turns a man's character into a hard and bare skeleton; while Fun nnr* ronroatinTi in rliia nrnnnrtinn with work, clothe the bony structure with muscle and flesh, and puts the flash in the eye, and the roses in the cheek. If the work was well done through the week, ichool faithfully attended and lessons learned, Saturday afternoon was our own. How those closing hours of the week glowed in our anticipations, and the prospect brightened our animal spirits over the entire six days' tasks. There was the hunting party for that afternoon, or the ball cluu, or the riding match, or the long excursion to the magnificent forests wjifch approached to within a mile or two of the village. Or, at least, but often the best in the summer, was the party for a long tramp to the distant water, which was deep enough to challenge the skill of those lucky youths who had learned to swim. With what profound admiration we looked on th03e boys who had come from a distance to attend the institution of learning in the village, and who told of the great rivers and lakes near their homes, and what wonderful feats in swimming, and diving, and floating they could perform. Tc our youthful minds, that ha1 never Been a river or lake, these beings were looked upon as little short of supernatural. At the l'east they loomed up into the majesty of real heroes. We owe it to one of these river reared boys that we are here now to peu this incident. Indeed, wc owe all we hava done ir life to that sturdy swimmer who had learned his strokes in the Ohio. That Saturday afternoon stands most conspicuous in our memory, and is as yesterday, though it passed, with its j incident, far back in the past. | The long looked for afternoon hac ' come; our party was formed for i ' walking excursion some four miles tc ! a splendid forest, where van a clear ! deep stream. It was a hot afternoor j in July. Many were the walking challenges given and taken on th< way, and many were the stones shiec at the birds, and great was the ex citement when a seven foot black snake made hjs appearance, and thi ; party surrounded the creature an< | gave it battle to the death. Of course we were all in a re< hot glow when we arrived at the ban] : of the far away stream. The knowini . ones warned us we must not plung< into the water while we were so mac! I overheated. What fun in a summe ! swim beneath the overhanging trees j The run over the moss covered bank , the high leap into the air. the up right position, arias laid close to th sides, the compressed lips, the closei eyes, the shooting into the flood, th shuttingoffof human voices, the gnrg ling of the waters, the refreshin cooluess of the plunge to the botton: the strokes downward, the wonderCu spring upward, th-5 buoyancy of th waters and the lightness o? the bod ?all produc.': tides of sensation whic fill to the overflow the boy's cup c joy. Hut nearly all this we had to lear afferward. and subsequent to the pc: il of that day. : i The Olifo and Mississippi tralnea boys disdained such a stream as that, and swam from side to side swiftly as ducks across a barnyard pond. But poor we were as helpless chicks, but ashamed of our fear and ashamed of our ignoranrtj of the life preserving art. We moved shy of these good swimmers for f^.r they would drag us into the deeper water and half drowii us. ; They went oC to chase each other on the bank at a distance. Now was the time .to do a little practicing in safely shallow water. It seems no trouble for a duck to swim, and not ' much more for a man. Those strokes seem so natural, so easy, surely all one needs to do is to strike just so with the hands, and just so with the feet. We move out bravely and are amazingly encouraged. How the confidence keeps up when one knows he can drop his feet down and stand on solid ground with his head above water! But who can describe the sensations of one who cannot swim, when he finite himself suddenly beyond his depth! Instantly the bottom drops out of his confidence, all his deliberation vanishes, and all order of move ment merges into the wildest beating and splashing of the waters. You - i. - 1V?..1 gasp for air ana swawow a muutmui of water. The body turns to lead, ' and fhe more desperate the movement i the more helpless one seems. You cry for help and the water fills your mouth and lungs. A whirlwind of ! confusion sweeps through your brain, you are sinking and all hope is vani ishing. In an instant .the sensationa ! and thoughts change in view of tho ! certainty of death. New impressionj i seize the mind. It runs with lightning swiftness through the entire pas* life. Every doubtful and every evil; act starts forth with more distinctness than the magnified pictures on the illuminated canvas. ! That act of disobedience which . resulted in the horse running away and breaking your arm is now more . henious than it was tien, 'and tiie ache in the conscience now hurts more than the ache did in the arm when It was broken. That mean act of revenge returns to give greater pain than the boy suffered when you thnne-ht vourself "even with him." The school quarrels are all pictured on tbat canvas in lurid light, and even , the little tricks to cheat the teacher all reappear to mock at you in that awful moment. You have gone down ! the second time, and now are sinking for the third time. A great horror of darkness drops on the mind and the senses. You have a faint impression that the crisis has come, and there is a clutching at the hair of your head?all then sinks into darkness. The next is the awakening. You are lying on the ba?ik and faintly, through a rift in the eyelid, ?~u see boys as trees walking around vou, and amid the terrible roaring _j the ears you begin to hear tones you recognize. 1 "He's all right," shouts the Ohio boy. You open your eyes, and you are thankful beyond words that you landed on this side the dark river, and not on the other. That afternoon dates one of the most impressive of the writer's IKe, and it has never been for a day lost from his conscience. Saved 1 for what! For good and not for evil. It would be base and criminal beyond estimate to turn from the right into the wrong after such a signal token of mercy. Newspapers and Public Confidence. One of the magazines is advertising a series of articles on "The Decline of ; Public uonnaence in tne newspaper Press." If memory sierves us well it was Betsey Prig who said of Sairey Gamp's oft-quoted, but rather mythical friend, Mrs. Harris, "I don't believe there's no sich person." We don't believe there's no sich a thing as "the decline of public confidence in the newspaper press." There may be a decline of confidence in some ; journals that have forfeited their ! claim to public respect by slovenli. ness in gathering and presenting the news, or by vacillation of insincerity t in their Support of the ideals for . which they profess to stand, or by , pandering to debased tastes; but the i press as a whole is holding its ground. Individual backsliders may be read: ily detected by that reliable indica tor, the volume and character of their [ advertising patronage. When a news. paper loses public confidence the repl utable advertisers are the first to find i it out. When it gCiins in public esteem they are likewise early discov* t erers of the fact. [ I Flexibility of English. English is not only, as Richard 5 Jeffries asserted, the most expressive * and flexible of tongues, but also, in Swinburne's opinion, the most musiI cal. He proclaimed the lines: 1 "Music that gentlier on the spirit lies J Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes." ' to be unmatched for melody in any language. And few would venture 3 to contradict such a master of music ' and tongues. But surely French ranks next on the roll of languages. For clearness of diction it is unrivaled, and, thanks to its abundance of ? vowels (close on one for every consonant), It flows rythmically from the tongue. Against Wesley's dictum, that French is to German as a bag* pipe to*on organ, may be cited a sayins of another famous divine, I)r. e Dollingor, "L'Allemand n'est pas une 1 langue, mals ceux qui parlent ce jar^ gon se comprennent entre eux."? * London Daily Chronicle. e Good Newspaper, Good Town, i Tiie Gaffn'ey (S. C.) Ledger rce marks: "A good newspaper cannot be made these days without good adg vertisers." But what is of more geni, cral concern is the broad fact that a il good town cannot be made in these e days without a good newspaper. It y costs money to make a good town, it h costs money to make a good nevvsif paper. n Russia is establishing numerous - wireless stations over its great territory.

The first charter New York enjoyed was granted by King James II., of England, in 1686. It is known as the Dongan Charter. In 1730 King George II. granted another, in which no direct changes were made for one hundred years. The highest velocity of wind recorded blew at St. Paul, Minn., at the startling rate of 102 miles an hour. The nearest to that was ninety-six miles an hour at North Platte, Neb. The wind once blew in New York City at a rate of eighty miles an hour.

NEWSPAPER ENGLISH. Veteran Reporter Takes Occasion to . Roast Some Ordinary Specimen*). Albert L. Blair, a veteran newspaper man of Brooklyn, recently eni terlained .the Business Men's Associai of Bridgeport, Conn., with a descrip| tion of the inside workings of the I newspaper. During his taik be dis; cussed different phases of the profession, which he declared is: one of high 1 calling and second only to the ministry and pedagogy. The reporter, he said, is a necessary nuisance, and is the man who really makes the paper. i Many specimens of newspaper Engi lish camo in for a grilling. Among them was the word "gutted," which he said happened to every iiouse which had caught fire. He said this j word had no place in a clean and up! to-date newspaper. He also asked j why it was that there were so few t "fires" in newspapers, why they were always "conflagrations." He wished , that some reporter would say that a crimimil "broke sideways" or any other than "down" when he con, fessed. He always breaks "down," aaia tas speaiver. Agaiu, u mau umei j "says" a thing nowadays, he declared. | He "mukes a statement," he "states." The bride always "comes In on the arm" cf her father or somebody else. ! I consider that a great feat, he de! clared, "to be able .to carry a woman I on one's arm. It is second only to the fet:t of Byron, who said he stood on the Bridge of Sighs in Venice with a palaoe 'on' one hand and a prison 'on' the other. Byron was a poet and an athlete, so I believe he did what he said." Another one is the "Inclem: ency" of the weather. At a banquet , there Is always a "bounteous repast to which full justice was done." j Whenever I read anything like that r ; hear a lot of people in a hall gobbling i up food. All after-dinner speeches | are of course "post-prandial."?From the Editor and Publisher. Dante as a Sorcerer. A correspondent of the Times sends a curiously interesting paper on "Danle as a Sorcerer," based on the , recently published documentary recj ords of the processes instituted at AvigEon by Pope John XXII. against I Matteo Visconti and his son Galeazzo | of Milan. The Viscon.ti were charged with having resorted to witchcraft in order to injure the Pope, and Bartolomeo Canholati, the chief witness against them, declared that in an interview with Galeazzo the latter stated that he had conferred with Dante. The evidence, which is in Latin, ; makes no definite charge against 1 Dante. All that Canholati alleges is that Galeazzo had caused Dante to | come .to him on this business; and the i general impression of his evidence i3 * "that. Dante had an uncanny reputaj tion for some people, and that Galej azzo may have hoped that he would j consent to exert his maleflclent powi ers against a man whom he (Gale| azzo i hated." The particular luethod resorted to in this case was the "sub i fumigation" of an image, so that as I I the image was consumed with heat so would the person be consumed 'against" whom the image was made; ar# ?/e liave Dante's own testimony in the "Purgatorio" (XXV. 23) that he believed in tho efficacy of tha? form of witchcraft.?London Spectator "The Luggage Question. DeLancey Niroll, lawyer, is always a well dressed man, and abominates a slovenly appearance. At the Union Club he said of a Westerner one day: "ile has come to New York for r? cek and I don't believe lie has ought a stitch of luggage witli .'.1." Here Mr. Nicoll smiled. "Unless, indeed," he added, "li&'i "towed something in the large bags e carries in the knees of his trousers."?New York Tribune. ?Concerning Children. Children are often worried because their mothers are too attentive and continually reprove their small ones without reason. A child should be left alone and be allowed to play or amuse itself in its own way without constant direction of a nervous mother. A uuy, iur e&amyir, cuju;o uiuio i* few simple toys, and something which his own ingenuity has worked out, than the most elaborate plaything which has been bought. In the same way the little girl will lavish her affections on a misshapen doll, probably made at home, while the most artistic production of the toy shop will lie in state, to be taken up on rare occasions. Keep children well, clothe them sensibly, let them understand they are to amuse themselves, and don't "fuss" them.?New York Pres3. A Talk to Engaged Girls. Above everything let your household linen be of the best quality and commence housekeeping with a good supply. Pinch in other departments ?if you must pinch?but not in this, No part of the furnishings of a house marks the refinement of a woman's character as does tbe quality of hei house linen. It is economical, too, for, although the initial cost is somewhat greater, the-wear is more than double.

Judge Has Feminine Staff. John J. Jenkins, of Chippewa Falls, Wis., recently appointed judge of the Federal Court in Porto Rico, will have a staff of feminine asistants. He has appointed four young women to fill important places connected with the judiciary of the island. The appointees and their duties and yearly salaries are as follows: Miss Lou Cosgriff, court reporter salary $11000; Miss Nell Colburn, deputy clerk of court &t San Juan, salary $1500; Miss Lulu Gross, deputy clerk of court at Jfonce, salary $izvu; Miss 'Mary Nimmohs, deputy clerk ol coui^t.-at Mayaguez, salary $1200. Judge Jenkins has received ovei three hundred and fifty applications from all parts of the United States for these and other posts of which lie has charge. The Misses Cosgriff and Colbura have been in Judge Jenkins' emploj for some time. Miss Colburn formerly was his stenographer and has held a similar post with United States Senator Stevenson. "Dirigible" Gown Sow. The "dirigible gown," so named because it is capable of many evolutions and at the same time is perfectly safe and exceptionally modest, is ready to aiake its debut in Fifth avenue to supplant the startling pantaloon creation of last season, and to become the subject of hours of discussion over the tea tables. Stylish as a walking gown in cltj or town, the dirigible, simply by unbuttoning here and fastening there, may be changed to a garment of comfort and ease, especially adapted foi the golf links, horseback riding 01 canoeing. The new creation comes from a cos tujue establishment in Fifth avenue the American birthplace of the censored directoire and of the pantaloon It is made of broadcloth, the upper portion of the garment cut in modes! fashion, with three-quarter collar and the skirt on lines which allow, when used as a walking gown, for a neatlj fitting front and back. The bottom of the skirt hangs halfway between the ankle and the instep. It is not very different from anj walking gown, except that the fronl of the skirt is divided, one portior overlapping the other and each held in position by stoutly sewed buttons For the golf links, the polo field the balloon or the aeroplane the dirigible skirt is quickly transformed almost before the invitation is ended The skirt is unbuttoned down the front, and the divided sides are taker 'n on an angle, much like reefing s Bail, thus relieving the weight fron the bottom of the skirt and allowing freedom for running of jumping.? New York Special to Baltimore Sun. The Adaptable Girl. Ask yourself, "Am I adaptable?"* This is the secret of much popu carity. It is not clothes nor monej nor looks that count so much as th( power to adjust oneself to surround ings; in other words, to fit in. Women are adaptable enough whet it comes to c.ofhes. They will le themselves opL or pinch themselve! in. lie. boned as for a ^traitjacket 01 lake to girdles, b- concave or convex hipless or hipped, bofrillnd or slinky shuGlo their Qcsh and their organs from one point of anatomy to another piaster the hair or wear inuumcrabh and disfi^iring fnlse locks to rueo Uio latest flicker of fashion. So why not turn CUis idautabiliti I to account temperamentally? It wil^ ' make life easier to live not only for I yourself, but for those who must live with you. The girl who thinks nothing too much trouble to keep in fashion will I not take time/to adjust herself to family rules, dispositions or views.. Half the family troubles are d*o to lack of adaptability. There are varied tastes and natures among brothers and sisters, parents and children. Does the average girl recognize these differences and adjust herself to them? Not she. She .takes the Grant motto of fighting it out on these lines if It takes the rest of her life. Placating, adapting, sinking one's own personality for sake of harmony never occurs to her. i Perhaps a girl has had more advantages than her parents. She ha3 been to school or college, has outgrown home life. What results? Instead of adapting herself to ways of . the household, biding her time for changes, she frets, grows superior in her manner, drifts away from her i family, even is guilty of being ashamed of them. Why are there so many unwelcome visitors? Lack of adaptability. However odd the customs of your friend's home may seem, accept them as your j own, not grudging, carpingly, or with an air of sufferance, but as if born to them. If > you don't like them, say nothing, but don't go back. Have you gone to live in a new t town? The surest way to remain an i outsider Is not to De qmcK reaajusi [ ing.

It will never be done ! r if you spend your time lamenting old [ ways instead of adapting yourself to ; new ones. The girl who is adaptable will never criticise the customs of the place that is to be her home. She . will not announc?, "We did so and [ so in Blanktown." "Hojt-queer we , never had such a bridge rule at ? home!" She may disapprove and feefl i she can improve as much as she likes, provided she keeps it to herself. The adaptable girl does not force her opinions, obtrude her wishes, or , become a regulator. She does not . groan over past luxuries when fortune takes wing, nor be ever anxious for ' something that is not at hand. tjShe may not like circumstances, I but she makes the best of them. So doing, she finds them not half so bad us pictured. i It is well not to be too adaptable. i Where this trait is merged into yiew! ing a point o? conscience, because others see no harm, .to become a t nonentity with a mind that wabbles r toward the last person, it is not to be desired.
