After the rudimental points in swim- ming have been mastered, such as keep- ing afloat in the water, back swimming and the ordinary breast stroke, the be- h..- ,1 “An“ uuu txav \Jau.u~.- . -_-___e , ginner may turn to the English trudgeon out stroke or hand-over-hand swimming. In kicl this the right and left sides work alter- Aft nately. It is a. very fast style, but ex- am hausting, and cannot be kept up any and length of time. Lie in the water in the wa‘ same position as the breastâ€"stroke and with your hands in front of your chest. strike out with one hand clear out of the water. When the arm is fully extended in the water make a scoop of your hand 1'“ and pull it hard towards you as if to drag yourself along, At the same 1110- 1 ment turn slightly to the right or left to side, whichever arm you have extended, tag and give a vicious kick with the leg. as While drawing your hand through the f0] water to the thigh, bring your other hand tei forward for its stroke and the leg up for dc its kick, and as soon as the stroke is fin- hi ished turn to that side slightly and re- cc peat, alternating the strokes. As said, hi it is a ‘very fast style for ashort distance. rc . THE SIDE STROKE tli ’ is the best mode of swimming and is W used by all fast swimmers, amateur and W protessional, in their contests, they har- ti mg wh- t is called a racing side stroke. 0‘ As its name implies, the stroke is made % while lying in the water on the side. For endurance it is really the onlv style. A P swimmer who can use both right and ‘ left sides can swim miles without any great distress. While the frog-like breast stroke really seems to be a. man's natural way of water progression, the side stroke is far ahead of it in natural- ness and easy progress. In breast-s wim- ming a big strain is put upon the neck, keeping it out of its normal position; the body also offers much resistance to the water in chest-swinuning,while in going side ways through the water this resist- ance is greatly reduced. Now AS TO HO\V IT IS DONE. It is a rather complicated stroke. Make a breast stroke in the usual manner and, as the arms are. drawn back, turn on your sideâ€"not exactly clear on your side, but just a trifle inclined on the chest. The legs are then drawn up, the upper one crossing over the under and being in a position in which the knee- cup of the under almost touches the back of the calf of the upper. Take a wide Sweep with the legs, keeping the upper 0 one about an inch under water. As I they kick out the legs resemble nothing so much as the opening and closing of a pairof scissors. As you give the kick : shoot out both hands past the head to their fullest extent. The under arm will pre- reach further to the front. After the “”11 legs have come tOgether, toes pointed our- back, send down your 11 er hand, slightly hollowed.‘m' a’srraig 11m: Inst vour face and down to your thigh, AD l :r‘iuish of the upper hand inside n. ll- 1. rnur-I‘n,‘ thfl tlllgll u n‘AJAn) ”Z. ,’ Directly it reaches cue Llngu the elbow must be bent, but not so far as w 6110‘!" out of the water, and the hand must steal up to the breast, from whence a. fresh strouo 18 taken.

Very pleasurable as well as useful accomplishment. The first thing to learn is to keep your eyes open under water. Just sink yourself and try to discern some object in your hand. Don't be afraid of the salt water hurting your eyes. It will have no smart. When you can keep your eyes open under water get an egg, clam shell or some white ob- * ject, and after throwing it in water not too deep. try to bring it up. Two things will surprise you. First, the enlarged and the difficulty in size of the object getting to it. Try and get it head-fore- most. It will seem hard at first, but 2 little practice will do the trick. Ther throw two or three into the water and see how many you can bring up.

At first, indeed, it will be painful at times, as his awkward falls will make him smart and sting. It is best to begin at a very low height, say a couple of feet from the water. Stoop over until you are nearly double. with your hands above your head, and then -- u “um.- fall into the water. '7 an v - , , . eli or rather fall into the water.

The more boldly a swimmer dives the better chance there is of clean work. It is just as easy to learn to diver gracefully as it is to begin clumsily, a. habit which may stick to you. ___.__ nrnnm ”U-vr IN DIVING FEET FIRST, stand as erect as possible, head back, toes pointed, knees stiffened, arms rigid by the side, as close as possible. Then give a slight spring, held yourself straight and go down, holding in your breath. If you do not stir in mid-air, you will cleave the water straight and true. Gomg down to the bottom, you can stop yourself any time by spreading out your arms and legs, when a few kicks will send you to the surface. After this is learned, you can hold your arms perpendicularly above your head and go down through the air with rail- ivay'speed. Lady Derby One of a Bevy of Beautuui Sisters. While the air still rings with farewells to Their Excellencies the Earl and Coun- tess of Derby, one recalls the days when, as Lady Constance Villiers, Lady Derby formed one of a bevy of beautiful sis- ters. Their father, the Earl of Claren- don, a statesman celebrated not only for his brilliant abilities, but for his gracious courtesy of manner, which achieved for him a European reputation gathered round his family circle, all chat was dis- tinguished in the literary or fashionable world’. Descended from a family in which beauty was a natural heritage, till "fair as a Villiers” has be- come a proverb for many generations among the great families of England. The sisters have all since occupied im- portant positions in the social and diplo- matic world. One of then), Lady Emily Villiers, one of the most beautiful blondes of her day, was one of the bridesmaids of Her Royal Highness the Princess of \Vales and after her marriage to Lord Odo Russell. afteri'ards Lord Ampthill, for many years presided over the British Embassy at Berlin. Since her widOW- hood, she has become one of the favorite ladies of the Household to Her Majesty the Queen. Another sister married the Earl of Lathom, who occupied the position of Lord Chamberlain during Lord Salisbury’s administration. Lady Derby leaves us to become mistress of princely Knowsley, a proud position. enriched by the traditions of Countless generations of brave men and fair women, of her hus- band’s race. be The A ndanmu Dwarfs. There probably never was a boy or girl who did not dream of possessing for his or her own pleasure a band of pygmies who should do what they were hidden like so many animated dolls. Dwarfs have been found in Africa. but the natives of the Andaman Islands, in the Bay of Bengal, are the smallest race of people in the world. The average height of a full-grown Andaman is four feet five inches. and few weigh over seventy- six pounds. They are marvellously swift of foot, and as they smear them- selves over w1th a mixture of oil and red ochre, present a very strange appearance.

They eat fish, turtles, and fled with wild honey, and are rarely satis uncheon that does not provide them ' ounds of eatables.

Not looking where he was going, he stepped backwards :1 ml fell into a quarry forty feet deep, to the horror of some persons walking near. The string of the kite, however. being fastened round his wrist, the boy was lowered gently into the pit, the kite acting as a. parachute, and instead of being dashed to pieces he escaped unhurt. Perhaps this means that he is destined to make his mark in the world.
