Tho swimming apparatus designed
by a German swimming master is
both for trained swimmers and thoso
ignorant of the art. When out of use,
this apparatus is readily carried In
tho pocket, says tho Popular Mechan
ics. It consists of two oblong air
cushions, each subdivided into flv
compartments which are connected
together by transversal straps. Bo
fore putting on the apparatus, which
consists of thin caoutchouc lined with
a dense fabric, it is inflated through
a valve, within a few seconds, by a
few strong breaths.
Being arranged on both sides of tho
body, the apparatus leaves tho head
and neck perfectly free, thus doing
away with any pendulating motions

Tho chorus girl and tho chorus
bohller boy swung Into placo in the
marching, singing column.
"Our life is a glorious glitter," they
sang.
"It's a glitter all right." muttorcti
the soldior boy, "a silly, tinsel glit
ter." The chorus girl looked at him In
surprise. For weeks they had march
ed side by side in tho chorus of "Tho
Fisbtlss ITlnco," and this "was the
first time ho had over spoken to her.
"You don't like It?" she asked.
"I hate It. Do you enro for it?"
The leading lady was singing. They
were nt tho rear of tho stage.
"I have- no Illusions about it," sho
answered. "It is a means of bread
and butter."
"1 had illusions, an artistic ideal
and operatic ambitions."
"Have you kept them?"
"1 have learned tho limit of my
ability. Tho best I can do Is to carry
a tin sword and strut in a chorus
with a score of other mediocre war
blers. I leave tho stngo at tho end
of my contract. Say," ho hesitated
like a bashful schoolboy. "I know
you art; you are awfully particular
and prudish, but would you won't
you have supper with mo after the
show tonight? I abhor this whole
crowd, except you. l'vo wanted to
know you you arc different from the
others."
The girl looked squaroly into his
eye. "You're different, too," sho said
frankly. "I'll go with you."
"You nro moro different than over
in your street clothes," ho informed
her across the restaurant table.
"So are you," sho retorted. "In
citizen's apparel, with your faro
washed clean you look like mny I
say It?"
"Go on."
"Llko a nice, well raised young man
from somo quiet, llttlo city a long
way from Now York."
"Good. At least, I was well raised
and tho home city is quiet and little
and far away."
"And probably your father was tho
wealthy man of the llttlo town and
your mother was tho grand lady. You
"Don't think of mo nt nil. I am a
child of this groat, wicked city. After
tonight wo shall novor see each other
again."
"It's no use to send n lcttor In to
Miss Mnyne," tho doorkerpcr was say
ing to an Insistent young man. "She
never reads stngo door letters nor
speaks to Johnnies."
Tho young man wroto his name be
ncnth tho superscription on tho let
ter. "Take that to her,"
A few minutes later ho was in a
stago dressing room.
"l'vo como back," ho announced.
"To carry a tin sword in the
chorus?"
"No; to tnke a certain girl out of
tho chorus; to tnko hqrr back with mo
to a quiet, llttlo town."
"To lslt your wife?"
"To bo my wife."
"But tho other girl, tho first sweet
heart, tho Innocent "
"Wo have broken our engagement.
She is as glnd to bo froc as I am.
When I went back she she, I don't
want to talk llko a cad, but I want
you to know tho truth sho bored
me. Her Innocence and convention
ality are the result of a narrow en
vironment. Sho knows only tho lit
tle world of tho l'ttlo town, nnd sho
Is satisfied that that Is all there is
worth while In life. Sho welcomed
mo ns a prodigal and expected a
bended knee repentance and confes
sion of the sins I must surely hnvo
committed out In tho wicked world.
Wo have not ono tnsto or Interest In
common, except the picnics and tho
strawberry festivals. The woman I
lovo Ib ono who has lived In the big,

"The right sort of man chooses hla

"This man has learned a few
things about women, and he will
learn moro if you will teach htm. I

Another Cure by Thunder.
Another caso has been added to the
long list of thoso who aio said to
hnvo been cured of deafness and
dumbness by a sudden shock. This
tlmo the story comes from Ahilens,
whero a woman is said to have recov
ered her 3pecch after n particularly
loud clap of thunder. Thore havo been
heavy storms In tho region for tho
last fow days, accompanied with hall,
rain, thunder anrt lightning, nnd trees
in somo places havo been pulled up by
tho roots. At others lightning struck
houses and barns and horses and cnt
tie havo been killed. A woman
forty-eight years of age, tho wifo of
a workman, had completely lost hor
speech since 1905 Sho was still ablo
to hear, but the only way sho hnd of
communicating with any ono was by
writing. Sho was subjected to various
treatments, among others that of elec
tricity; but they seemed to havo no
effect. During the recent thunder
storms sho was seized with a tcrrlblo
nervous attack, and suddenly she re
covered her speech, and is now ablo
to converse as er.sily bb beforo. Sev
eral physicians havo como to question
hor, and her cure is talked of as al
most miraculous.

Famous for Its chocolate and

They nro everywhere. No matter
how old or tumbledown tho house may

In tho window, and they brighten up
tho wholo town wonderfully. Gay col

Unllko American window boxes,

While this is a general description
of a sail wagon, it does not take tho

himself out of almost any old thing he
Is sure to find about the place. It is
Interesting to notico tho many and dif

The Truth.
Father and son wero walking tho
streets and passed a largo park In
which wero many statues. Ono of
them tho largest of all was of a
woman.

which was inscribed "Woman."
"That is not a statue, my son," an
swered tho father. "It is but a figure

Little Honey Gatherer Has Solved
Problem of Room, of Lightest Ma
terial and Strength.
Probably King Solomon has been
most crlticlsod In nls Judgment tor
sending the "sluggard" to tho ant.
thoro to "consider her ways and be
wise." We can't say, but it rnuy have
been that in Solomon's time they didn't
have tho present day Italian honey
bco turning out comb honey In the
commercial squaie, pound frutnes. But
wo are assured Just now that taking
up a pound of honey In an ordinary
frame, the averago engineer ought to
feel immensely incompetent and un
wibe as to ordinal y wav3 and means to
engineering le&ults.
In tho construction of tho hexagon
honey coll of material fiom her own
body, tho working beo at onco has
solved the problom of economy of
room, of tho lightest possible mate
rial of greatest strength, whllo tho
dividing wall in each honey caso al
lows tho greatest number of work
ers to continue "on tho Job." A. 11.
GodaM, writing of tho engineering ca
pacity of tho honey beo says; "I havo
seen strips of comb n foot wide and
four feet long sustaining n weight of
30 or 40 pouuds of honoy, while the
comb itself would probably not weigh
moro than five or six ounces. Wo
need not hesltato to say that such a
structuro compares favorably with
some of the best achievements of the
modern engineering skill of man."
An American Eagle.
Tho United States transport Buford,
on its wuy from Chlnn to San Fran-
cisco, rescued an American eaglo in
distress far out at sea. The national
bird had probably como from Alaska,
tho nearest land, and It was so tired
that It would soon havo fallen Into
tho sea if tho steamer had not ap
peared. It alighted In tho r'gglng and
a sailor climbed up and caught it It
was put In a cng nrd rarrkd with
tho steamer to San Fran Ieco.

"As thero is no father, no bank nnd
no home waiting for mo I shnll re

"1 wish you wouldn't," ho said
earnestly. "It is not tho life for a

something llko that would give you
better opportunities for the develop
mont of the womanly virtues you

exposed to a thousand hideous ex

"Little country boy," laughed the
girl, "don't lecturo this worldly,

A Cheering Arabian Plant.
"I saw a llttlo of Arabia In my trip

Unslghtllneso In Development Usually
Duo to Greed of Speculators
and Promoters.
Tho unattractlvenoss of most su
burban development lies, first, In tho
fact that tho land is hopelessly sub
divided Into unlfoim and monotonous
units admitting of llttlo or no variety,
excepting by an expenditure of money
which tho investment does not Justify;
henco tho attempt to obtain variety by
Btunts and detail, much of which Is
tawdry. John M. Cnrrero writes in
Country Llfo In America.
Secondly, tho designing of these
houses, which has been mostly in tho
hands of spectators nnd piomolois,
has not usually been Intrusted to archi
tects of skill, and has not been devel
oped with tho idea of elevating and
developing public taste, but rather of
catering to passing fancies.
Assuming four lots, each 60 feet
wide, if, instead of building, n3 usual,
four houses with a narrow frontngo
and extending back Into tho lot all
in a row, with a small garden In front,
n contracted spaco soporatlng thorn,
and ugly yards in Iho buck it wore
planned to place tho two end houses
with narrow fronta and extending
back, and tho two mlddlo houses Bet
back and designed with bro.td fronts,
thus forming a court, a composition
would Immediately bo possible, and
a bettor distribution of light, air and
grounds whether for ornnmontal or
merely back yard purposea would
Immediately result without any Inter
ference of property iinoB or of light
caEcmcnls.
"Whan my first baby waa six
monthB old ho broko out on his head
with llttlo bumpa. Thoy would dry
