VHY DO PEOPLE DROWN?
A Well Kiioun KukIIsU gwimmtr Ex
ll:ilnri llio Sficiico of Float in ST.
"I supin)Ri," I remarked to Sir. Johnson,
the well known swimmer, "that such a cork
a. yniirsHf cannot qaito uiiderstaiul how a
jVT.s.-in binks." '-Oh, yes, lut I can. It in only
Fiieli as myself, who study tlio Beieneo ot
ll.-.atiia;, that ran imderstand the mystery of
biiikiii;;. A swiiiinu-r heeomes a swimmer by
endeavoring to find out, not so much how to
swim, us how not to rink. Man or woman
enn float thero no exception. Tbo big
secret i.s knowing how, and being self ios
sessed ;iiouyh that is, in eases of emergency
to take advantage of one's knowledge. 15ut
directly the boat c-ap-izes, or the canal bank
subfi les, or tho sands shift, or tho deep part
of the river uncomfortably asserts itself, the
ignorant mortal (ignorant of how to uso Lis
powers of buoyancy) sots about to sink him
self. "
"iSiiiks himself, Mr. Johnson?"' I observed,
dubiously. "Yes, sinks himself. Up go his
hands, and down ho sinks liko a flagstone.
Of the ten thousand and one frcnzuil actions
in which a drowning man iin!ii!;-,es not niw is
there that hinds a tittlo of buoyancy. In the
'. sr. place, lu clufeii-a at the proverbial
ra -.v.. and them is no .;:rer way f sinking
one's self than by th; e .' ing tho hands out of
the water. The c!;-.-;iiv nt hii-ii oi' tiie body
strikes fatal terror in tho man's heart, ho
struggles spasmodically, and then, bereft as
bo is of n'l consciousness, vanishes to his
doom. Tak, as an instance, the yachting
accident olf llfracombo the other day. A
jovial par!- set sail in a crazy fishing smack,
and an extra capful of wind upset her. In
stantly there was chaos and confusion, as is
always the case, a. id fourteen luckless souls
ilrowned themselves. It is simply suicidal
for a non-swimmer to risk his life in an un
certain craft."
"Suppos-, then, Tilr. Johnson, that you and
I are cruising. Tiie boat has capsized; we
are in tho water. V hat am I, a non-swimmer,
to dof "If tkero is anything floating catch
at it steadily. Tiie least particlo will support
you. Tin.? beading which was no more than
an inch square would keep your head above
water. l!ut if there is nothing at all within
reach this is what you should do." At this
juncture Mr. Johnson sprang to his feet.
Throw he.; back his head, and placing both
hands in tho small of his back, his form as
sumed a slanting position. "So long as you
remained as I am now, so long would you
flui.t."'
"Ti tit is not necessary for tho require
ments . f floating that one's toes should bo
level ' i!.h his nosei". "!Xot in the least. The
mode of flouting in a moment of emergency
is as I have jat illustrated or, at least, my
experience teils n.o that it is the safest
and the easiest. It womd be an inconsider
able m:.l ter for people to familiarizo them
selves with tho principles cf floating, and a
simple acquaintance with the subject might
provo to bo of lifelong service. To bo of any
rial service, swimming must bo studied to
virfection. A man or woman is termed a
go ;d swimmer (and the man or woman comes
to think so too) who can manacre, say, a score
lengths of a bath twenty yards long. Here
-he water is tepid and smooth, but it is differ
ent at sea. llo.v many yards would that
same swimmer traverse in troublous waters?
3iit tho chances are that he could float till
rescued, which is always tho end sought
after." Pall Mall Gazette.

And with regard to this going to quar
ters and clearing for action, it may not
here bo out of place to note that while in
tho old ships the partitions and wooden
screens were all hooked up and got out of
the way in preparation for battle, so that
the decks were clear, in these days when
quarters for action" is sounded the iron
doors are closed, the ship cut up into as
many segments as possible, and the crew
inclosed in compartments into which tho
captain's commands come by voice tube.
Tiie crew is, as it were, a regiment, with
"he lieutenants in charge of the compa
nies, each with his own division of men
and his own subordinate officers responsi
Vle for a certain part of the ship. To the
lieutenant go the commanding officer's
orders, and he communicates to hi3 subal
terns and petty officers, as the soldier cap
tain does to his subalterns and non-com-caissioned
officers. 7 cvf Vnrk Orachic

WORKING (URLS' FUN.
ENJOYING THEMSELVES AT " NEW
YORK CITY'S FREE BATHS.
How Tliey Compare in Physique with
Their More Pnuli lonnlilo Sister Ha.l
Feet Almost VnIvoraI I.Ittlo Mop
Girl's Antics A yuaireU
In tho period of e:;ci'ssiv heat, which lias
killed off children by tho dozen, melted tho
courage of the bravest, wilted tho enthusia- in
of tho most, eni-retie and driven men to
blowing out th ir alleged brains from m :o
discomfort, the city's free baths have been
the best patronized institutions f:i town.
It lias lain in the line oT my duty and pleas
ure to see several of them tho past wi ek nr.d
tlio u-ht has been ono of considerable inter
est. For ono thing I have learned that
physically tho workicg girl compares very
favorably with her luckier sisters who 1 i k
up theu aristocratic; littl.j heels in tho surf
that tumbles upon exj usivo aiid fashionable
beaclies. 7'his is not appareiit at llr.it, be
cause w hen tho working girl comes stepping
out of tho dressing room ready for tho bath
her smooth outlines oro not defined by tho
trim snugness of Jersey cloth and silk hose
cut to artfully display whilo pretending to
conceal feminine symmetry. No; she usually
wears some dingy old llsnnel bag rented from
tho at tendant and too big for hi r, or el..a a
cat off garment of her own almost too
shrunken mid tattered for decency.
Some queer combinations one sees. Ono
red hatred girl, whoso bare ankles were wl.ito
as milk, had on ns a bathing garment a
frayed red flannel petticoat and r.n old silk
basque. Another wore what. I nd onco been
a blue mtn's veiling wrappe r, nhich was ail
the better for a bath. A third was ; till more
unique and original in a cnlieo Mother Hub
bard for a tunic ami her younger brother's
trousers. Tho effect of this last was stun
ning, and the wearer r.f it paddled about in
tlie cool salt r.nter with tho lofty cspr-rs-.iou
of :: who :(? : ism-.ounted tlio stern barrier
i u:: toe. :.!.' Kr -umst.mco by tho might of
their own unatded iiitelloet. tvimu of the
girl.', howevtr, cr.n afford cheep but pretty
bathing raits, :.:.! theso arc usually the 01103
who sv. i::i cud cannot afford to have tl.eir
movements hampered with clinging gar
ments. Many of them swim uncommonly
well find ere fond of showing it oh' in the
water. It's a pretty f.ight to soo all tho wet
ftccs, rosy with tho sharp kiss of prjt waf r ;,
turned upward, laughing ami shouting to
those on the edge, r.nd the r.i:::o of round
limbs confused together. For, as I said,
many of theso girls, more than ono would
imagine, thinking of tho half nourished lives
most of them have led, are extremely well
formed.
ALT. HAVE r AD FEET.
When the water melts down tho crude lines
of their ill fitting garments it is discoverable
that the upper elass'n do not monopolize
feminino symmetry. Cut as a rule all theso
girls have bad feet, with tho joints twisted
out of placoand the whoij foot and its five
toas the most misshapen and distorted thing
you can well imagine. This is tho result, I
fancy, cf the bad Khoos they wear, too short
and with ill fitting lining and wretched heels.
Thero is nothing a woman'? status can ba so
clearly marked by as the stylo of shoe she has
on and tho straightuess of her foot. In spite
of their crippled and malformed pedals these
women splash there with great pleasure and
freedom and play endless practical jokes on
each other. Their favorite amusement seomed
to bo to smack tho water suddenly with tho
palm of tho open hand, immediately in front
of a woman w ho was talking and which filled
her mouth and eyes full cf water. A pretty
little shop girl, with a dimple in her chin,
who was a daring and beautiful swimmer,
found her chief amusement in going up and
sitting on the rail ami thsn letting herself
tumble over backward into the water. Every
time she came down with ft great splash tho
other women remonstrated, but to no pur
pose. Finally one of them tauntered up there and
sat down, to rest, apparently. Just as the
offender threw herself backward this woman
caught her by tho foot and held her thus
doubled backward over the rail. It was the
greatest wonder she didn't snap her spine like
a pipe stem. She didn't, but she squalled like
nothing so much as a tat hangover a line and
tied to the tail cf another cat The attendant
came to the rescue, the pair of them tumbled
into the water cut of her reach and afemuiino
naval battle ensued. They pinched and
scr.-.U-hcd, tripped each other up, pulled hair
and lashed the whole bath into such a foam
that a policeman was summoned, who ordered
them both out of the bath and threatened to
arrest them. No one can even fully realize
the meaning cf "madder than a wet hen -who
has not seen two such belligerent females
emerge from a watery encounter. Tho honors
of tho day appeared to rest with dimple chin,
who vowed she would ccme back next day
and tumble backward into the bath 450 times.
Such troubles are rare, I believe. New York

Educating the CIiinesc
Tlio Chinese government, under the liberal
izing influence of tho new regime of the
young emperor, has adopted a curious and
significant scheme of getting at the bottom
facts about civilisation outside tho flowery
empire. A doznn distinguished young scholars
will be selected from competitive examina
tion, in which the chief test 'will be ability to
describo and apprehend tho meaning of novel
things, and they will be sent abroad for two
years to study foreign countries. Each will
get a salary of $'250 a month and $50 for an
interpreter, and all their traveling expenses.
Each will follow a particular beut in work
ing up things he knows the most about.
Monthly reports on topography, ethnology,
commerce, habits, morality, industries, arma
ments, political institutions, etc., will bo for
warded to Pekin. At the end of two years
the services of each will be utilized in tho
Chinese government in such departments as
he studied to the most advantage, and those
who have done best will get ennobled. When
ono considers some of the raw, untutored and
indifferent officials that America send3
abroad, there rises just a scintilla of doubt
whether the Occident really monopolizes all
tho civilization of the world. Chicago
