Ckaractcrlsik of a OooJ Swlramcr >s a Slow Stroke. “Juit no icon as tho "warm weather sets in, u any parsons who, at the cloie of lust enmmer, were able to swim s few strokes, will again somewhat tim orously enter the water,” writes Frank H. Vizetelly in an article on “The Simple Art of Swimming” in the Wo man's Home Companion. “The ma jority will find this self-imposed task far more difficult than is anticipated Is. is necessary to remind those who in dulge in short, hurried strokes that one of the golden rules of swimming is move slowly and delibsrately. Those who wish to become good swimmers inns' cultivate self-reliance, and th^y shoild always bear In mind that watei ItEjlf has a sustaining power fat greater than that of most liquids. The slow stroke is the very essence of good swimming. It enables the bather U inflate the lungs end thun unconscious ly turn them temporarily into life- preservers. To move slowly is to get plenty of breathing time, and to g*t plenty of breathing time Is to get plen- ty of strength to repeat the movements which propel tho body through the water. Te second golden rule which the beginner sould school herself to remember is that tho living human body is specifically lighter than water, and that, consequently, it does not nec essarily sink therein. Confidence In tho sustaining power of water is the only secret to swimming. The best way to convince the novice of tho buoyancy of water is to let her wade out until the water comes up to her breast; but before doing this she shc-ald take care, when in shallow water, to immerse her whole body, so as to avoid the rush of blood to the head, from which man/ bathers suffer through neglecting to do this. With the water once on a level with the breast the bather should lie on her back and extend her arms out beyond her head, but not raised out of the water. This position makes breathing «asy and counterbalances tho weight of the legs. Tho bather should lie restfilly and avoid stiffen ing the nether limbs. The hips should be rigid, the feet close together, but not out of tho water, for If they were they would overbalance the weight ol the bead and carry It beneath the sur face. Tho Queen of Spain’s llusy I.iflf. Spain is essentially a lazy country. In all ranks the people rise late and turn night Into day; but the Queen Re- jgeufc—a tall, graceful woman, looking rjounger Ilian her years—sets them an 'excellent example. Up at 7, her first care Is given to her children, and by 8 o’clock she is already at work with her secretary. It Is only after lunch, toward 2 o'clock, that she allows her- jself an hour of well-earned rest. And some Idea of Queen Christina's thor oughness may be {mined by tho fact that she no longer speaks German— her native tongua- save to those few who flndihelr way to Madrid. of Uzeil tl our victory.

The vessel’s decks were brushed fore and aft by tho seas, the cargo was badly shifted, and during the thick of the storm the ship’s lee rail was ten feet under the water, she having been knocked down on her beam ends. Captain Jones says that in a life time at sea he never passed through snob a storm, and had it lasted much longer none would have been spared to tell the tale. “We sailed,” said he, “from Sum- arang, and our rnn until the day I speak of was marked by no unusual occurrence.

Toward the noon hour the sky bad assumed a darkened hue, such us did not give promise to a further continuance of good weather, but we did not antici pate any serious trouble until about 3 p. m., when the wind freshened up with such velocity as to render it necessary to shorten sail. Hardly had this task been accomplished when the wind broke with a terrific fury, knocking down on deck such of the men as had no opportunity to catch hold of anything, “The typhoon was now upon us, and the roaring of the sea sweeping before its mighty force was deafening. Before we knew anything the vessel was hove down on her beam ends and the seas were making a clean breach over her. All was confusion, and as best we could the ship’s head was held up in the teeth of the wind. Bhe was diving about furiqusly, and the deck fittings were washed away and cabins and deck houses were gutted. “It was a fight against terrible odds and it looked as though wo were con- qaered. The men worked heroically, and had it not been for this none of us could have been saved. After four hours’ battle with the typhoon it passed away, but the sea remained as high as over. * We then made a hasty search Of the damage done, and it was nly then that Chief Officer Richards Seaman Miller were missed. They been swept overboard by some the terrific combers that boarded the vessel. Their cries for help were never heard, such was the deafening noise of the wind and sea.

The use of the meat of nuts in cook ing is not altogether new in this country. In some respects it is a re vival of customs created through necessity in the early days of New England, New Amsterdam and the Carolinas. In the seventeenth cen tury the honsewives were able to make various dishes from chestnuts, acorns, hickory nuts, walnuts, butternuts, and even the humble peanut. Instead of using a mill for comminuting the meat they employed a mortar and pestle and where these were not convenient, they resorted to the rolling pin and even to two boards and a mallet. As there seems to have been no commeuu upon the dish prepared from any of these substances, it is fair to assume that they were not bad and possibly that they were as good as the average bread at that time.—Now York Mail and Express. J5T Women Doing Their Part.

Jaauary 8. 188t. aaflE- pioolUhirstiness instances have been known in which the jaguar has re frained from attacking human beings whom he has met face to face, while at the same timo he has manifested no fear of them; indeed, has dis played something like playfulness. — Such a case occurred with an Indian ywomaa named Par. Borrego, living in a lonely little Pampas hunlet called Las Matas, on the Apure River, in Chile. She had gone from her hut to the mnta, or woodland, a mile away, for firewood, carrying a machete to cut it with. As she gathered sticks she heard among the trees, some dis tance away, tho deep, purring sound which the jaguar sometimes utters, and soon she could detect the beast’s stealthy approach through the under brush. She knew that there was no use in her running away, so she stepped behind a tree and waited for what might happen. The light crackling of twigs and bushes came nearer and presently on the further side of a little forest opening the jaguar appeared. He seemed aware of tho woman’s presence, but did not rush upon her at once as she expected he would. Instead, ho advanced toward her by degrees, occasional ly stopping to dig among the tree roots with his paws, tearing up the roots and scraping at them as if to sharpen his claws. At last, as if in play, the jaguar bounded to the tree w hich sheltered the woman, and clutched its trunk with both paws. Instantly the woman struck with tho machete, cutting off one of the jaguar’s paws. With a scream the beast sprang back. Then, ns he darted forward to attack the wo man, she brought the machete down on his head with all her force, and as the jaguar, partly stunned, struggled blindly to reach her, she dealt him blow after blow until he fell dying. The woman got scarcely so much as a scratch iu the encounter. Tho jaguar was so cut to pieces by the machete that the skin was worthless. I saw pieces of the skin and two claws, pre served as souvenirs of the woman’s bravery, in the hut of her son in Las Matas, more than thirty years after the light occurred.—New York Sun.

Dining-Room Soda-Fountain. The dining-room soda-fountain was seen more or less often last summer. It is again put forward with the spring housefurnishings. It is a plain oaken box that might be anything until it is opened and its interior displayed. Within an ice-chest the supply of soda water is hold, and small bottles of var ious fruit syrups are also a part of the outfit. A more simple arrangement, where soda water is wanted at the country house which is often not only miles from the traditional lemon, but equally removed from the esteemed effervescence dispenser, is the use of the home-made syrups with a siphon of plain soda. The fruit syrups—straw berry, pineapple, orange, raspberry, currant and lemon—are easily made. The wish of a small boy for a soda fountain right in the (vail of his room is practically, if not to the letter, ac complished.—New York Post. A New Field of Labor, Mrs. Emily Lee Shdrwood, a jour nalist, of Washington, D. C., has ad ded a new field of labor to her literary Avork.

His torical or biographical data relating to family history, particularly the Rev olutionary period, is especially sought after now. General Mile*’* Experience*. General Miles once told the writer that his most thrilling moments had come to him, not while military en gagements were iu progress, as most soldiers would report, but after the close of a dcritive battle, either iuthe form of iauescribablc elation because of victory or the most profound de pression from defeat. “I can hardly tell you how de-1 pressed I was at Chancellorsville,” I The assets of the American said the General, “nor how lifted up I sity (Methodist) at Washington!).

Carl stuffed the carcass in hipack, and tho next day the CouutjCom- missioners allowed him $2 t the pelt. Vlueky Stage Driver. Just at dawn a few days tempt was made to hold runuing from Alturas Cal. When about three mile from town the dm-er, William Otaery, became aAvare that some ob was climbing on his stage from iiind. As the driver turned the v dd-be robber pointed a pistol square A his face and fired, the bullet Osaing through his cheek, and carryi away several teeth and a part of th< <of of the month.

Connery finally succeeded in pcing the robber to the ground, and t stage horses dashed away, carryi the plucky driver out of harm’s re*. Matting Instead of Wall Paper. Wall paper is probably not doomed —it wonld take something of a revolu tion in house decoration ideas to bring that about—but it has a rival in the affec tions of people who want something unique in the rooms of their uoav houses. This rival, is matting, especially Chi nese mattings, and the idea is to cover a wall from floor to ceiling with them. Nothing of this sort has ever been sug gested by the decorators before, though strips of matting have often been used as friezes and even as dados. To cover every inch of the four walls of a room with matting is a distinct novelty in the beautifying of rooms, however, and where it has been tried it has been hailed as a great success. ordinary Ninety would present no at tractiveness on a wall. In every case patterns that show extremely large figures are the thing. Diamonds and stars are high in favor, and squares and blocks made to imitate carpet de signs have hardly less popularity. In all there are a dozen or more new and fresh patterns peculiarly adapted to nailing upon walls. Red and white and green ami white are the colors that are used. The bine and white matting has not come into vogue yet for wall decoration, though it may appear at any time. These mattings are laid on in strips across the walls, not np and doAyn. It should be remembered that the ordin ary floor mattings would, not be at all the thing on Avails, and that only the special varieties mentioned above should ever be used. With the proper matting laid on skillfully there is an admirable background for any sort of pictures, and a room is made that will seem delightfully cool in the hottest sort of Avoather. For a matting-walled room window shades of matting of the same kind, or at least of an harmonious pattern, should be used.—New York Herald. ' ig | iver Recipe*. Fried Apple—Pare and quarter tart apples. Place in a frying pan, pour over them one cup sugar, three table- spoonfuls of water, three pieces of butter the size of a Avalnut, cover closely allowing them to steam brown. Excellent. Toast—Warm cold “flaked” white fish or canned salmon in a little hot butter. Brown the toast nsatly, dip quickly in “very hot” salted water, and rapidly and lavishly butter.

The latest addendum 4o my lady’s writing desk outfit, and one that ap peals to every feminine heart, is a dainty little volume about the size of an ordinary note pad. It is bound in flexible cloth covers of mottled gray, with gilt tracings and appropriate de signs. The volume contains 152 pages, each one headed by a quotation apropos to the subject of the page. There is a schedule blocked out for each month, with spaces for entries. Each month has also several pages for keeping track of “letters and notes,” written and received; “books and reading,” with their subdivisions of history, biography, poetry, novels, science, travels, periodicals and news papers, and dates of beginning aud finishing. Other pages are labelled “social engagements,” with minor divisions, for luncheons, dinners, in terchange df visits; “intellectual re creations,” lectures, clubs aud musi cals, amusements, opera and theatre and interchange of courtesies rendered and received. With one of these de lightful little reminders on the desk at the end of the year, my lady will be able to give an accurate account of re sults accomplished along social and literary lines. Discomfort and Style. Tight, tighter, tightest, grow the sleeves this spring, and low, lower, lowest goes that bodice seam on the shoulders, upon which depen^U so much of the comfort and conven/Jnce of the wearer. Never, for years,ihuve women’s clothes been in many more uncomfortable. The discoi coarse thread; that looks very badly always. Among the new fashions for this summer are flounced skirts with three flounces, one overlapping the other, and extending from the belt to the hem. This style is very effective, but the skirt should then be made narrow, and the width given by the flounces. Not every girl can wear a flounced skirt. It takes off so much from the height. When it can be worn, it is most becoming.—Harfier’s Bazar. Go**lp. There are more than one hundred, and fifty women’s ciubs in Texas at present.

Putting on the hat or rearranging the hair af ter the corsage is fastened is an utter impossibility. Dressmakers os well as dress wear ers are in despair about the thing, as, if it is hard to elevate the arms under such conditions, still harder it is to elevate the standard of styles that each modiste holds to be so inexorable and so to be striven after. What adds to the rancor of the situation is the free dom of movement women have en joyed by reason of their short shoul der seams and big sleeves, with ca pacious armholes, says the Philadel phia Times.

It is said that Empress Elizabeth of Austria has collected the photographs of all the pretty women she has seen during the last nine years. To each picture is attached a statement of the name, age and circumstances of the i subject, with date and place of the / taking of the photograph. / SwU* Mu *Uu Gown*. Gowns this season are made with the skirts longer than they were last, and this rule applies even to Avash ma terials. Of course a long skirt is more graceful than a short one, but it will soil very much sooner, so it is not well to trim it around the foot with anything that cannot be washed or cleaned. The skirt should be made separate from the lining. The five- gore style is a pretty one; then the circular pattern is also good. The The apron front with deep flounce is very effectR’e, particularly if the flounce is covered with little narrow ruffles of the same material, edged either with lace or trimmed with baby- ribbon put on full. The prettiest way to make the waist is to have it quite simple, shirred on the shoulders, and in front quite full. This also should have bands of insertion. Over the tops of the sleeves are epaulettes edged with lace. The sleeves themselves are prettiest when shirred the entire length, and finished around the wrist with a lace ruffle. The back of the waist should have only a little fulness, and that drawn in under the belt. It is not worth while to put insertion across the back, for it will add greatly to the expense, and besides is not al ways becoming. As a rule, a plain back is the best. Taffeta sashes two fingers it width, tied with a small bow and long ends, and a stock collar of the same ribbon, the bow tied in front in sailor fashion, with the edges trimmed with lace, make a nice finish for the wrist. This style is'equally pretty in dotted or plain Swiss or lawn. Lace will look better than embroidery for trimming. There is no necessity tor bnying expensive lace either; there are a great many effective laces among the cheap ones. But beware of any green are Ju«t What AVotnen Want to Know.

Neglige^ are to be much worn by the business man this summer. A pretty tie is the imperial, with wide stripes of blue and green. This season’s boxcoats are of ker seys, coverts, friezes and vicunas. Soldier and sailor suits have been popular for boys since the war began. Link buttons are still popular, and cuffs are rounded a bit at the corners. A new style collar has tnrned down rounded corners. These are entirely new. Tan boxcoats of covert are the proper topcoats for boys as well as men just now. Stripes are also popular in sweat ers, the Roman stripes playing a con spicuous part. Suits of large overplaids in tweed and cheviots are the correct thing for golf and cyolipg. Plain bine serge will be used for business suits by men whose rating is beyond discussion. Cutaway coats, fancy waistcoats and odd trousers are nobby for afternoon or semi-dress affairs. W’de stripes will be worn this sum mer in stiff-bosomed shirts, and madrae will be mnch used for semi dress.
