Can't play cricket a little bit anyway," said Doug las Metcalfe. "Ruraruv clothes be wears, eh? Hat looks as if it bad come out of an old clothes shop," said Frank Xewlyn. "He's a sullen sort of beggar too. I suppose he's proud of his poverty; some fellows are like that, you know," George Marchant remarked. All the three speakers were in the sixth form at Denmark House, and the boy they referred to was Herbert Grier son, who bad just come to the school at he beginning of this term. It was Saturday afternoon of a warm day in early summer, and the three boys were strolling down toward the bay, on the heights overlooking which the Denmark House stood. When they reached the beach, they found some half dozen other boys ondresising prepara tory to bathing. A large, broad beam ed boat lay out in the bay. One or two other boys were now in it; among the rest Herbert Grierson. "We'll swim out to those fellows and have a dive from the boat," Donglass Metcalfe said. In two minutes the two were swimming toward the boat, followed closely by Tippoo, Douglas' terrier. Tbey scrambled into the boat The others were now in the water, with the exception of Grierson, who stood at the bow ready to dive. His clothes lay beside bim. with bis bat on the top. A sadden spirit of mischief seized Doug las. "Let's see if be is as good at swim ming as be is at Virgil," be whispered to his companions. "Own up now, Douglas. You're a bit jealous of Grierson. You're afraid he's goiui? to run you bard for dux, old chap," Xewlyn said. "Oh, as to that, I don't care much one way or the other," replied Met calfe, with a show of carelessness. "But I fancy I'm his match at swimming anyhow. But we'll see in a minute or two." As be spoke Douglas pretended to stumble against Grierson's clothes, and recovering himself struck the hat with his band, and sent it spinning into the water. "Hullo, that was jolly clumsy of Be!" be exclaimed. In a moment Grierson was in the water after his bat, which the breeze bad caught and carried to a consider able distance out in the bay. Tippoo was beiore him, however, and swim ming toward the bat. "Now then. He's got a pretty good start. We'll see who reaches the hat first But I must send that little ras cal Tippoo back," said Metcalfe, who was one of the best swimmers in the school. He leaped into the water and struck out with all bis strength in the wake of Grierson. All were now watching the chase of the hat with interest and laughter and cries of "Go it, Douglas," "Strike out, Grierson," "The hat's going to win." It was quite clear that Herbert Grier son was a strong and expert swimmer. For a little Douglas Metcalfe did not gain a yard upon him, but presently the onlookers could see that the spaco between the two boys had narrowed. Metcalfe was, in fact, doing bis very best, and it was with keen sensation of satisfaction and triumph that be at last overtook and passed bis rival. The hat was now floating a few yards in front of Metcalfe. The chase of it bad proved a harder one than had been expected. Metcalfe and Grierson were now far out in the bay, and of coarse much beyond their depth. At this point a strong current swept past the bay. The River Gleam emptied itself into the sea at the north born of the bay, and this caused a current which set in a transverse direction across the bay, oceanward. Both boys were by this time In the center of this sea stream. Metcalfe's hand closed upon the hat. It was bis Intention to swim back with it toward the boat and replace it upon the little pile of clothes, and thus put a trium phant finish to bis swimming feat. Metcalfe was now facing toward the shore again. Grierson bad turned too. The latter was quito aware that Met calfe had acted as be had done cot to recover the lost hat and restore it to its owner, but in order to prove his su- ! periority in swimming boforo the rest of tlio boys. The latter raisinl a chwr as they saw Motoalfo striking for the land ajjain, hold i tic; the hat in bis hand. Then they saw Metcalfe stop suddenly. The arm Unit held the hat dropped and disappeared below the water. Grierson, now swimming a yard or two behind Metcalfe, gave a few vigor ous strokes which brought him long side the latter. lint before ho could stretch out a hand to prevent it Met calfe's head went under. Grierson dived at almost the same moment. The boys in and around the boat held their breath. "Something's wrong with Douglas, lie's taken cramp or something," George Marchant said. A inimito went by, and they saw the beads of both boys reappear, a yard or two further out. Grierson was sup porting Metcalfe with his right arm. "I've cramp in my right leg and arm," Metcalfe said in a hoarse, low voice. "I'm afraid I can't swim a stroke farther myself." "All right, try to trwtd. water with your other leg; it will help a little. We'll be all right wheu we are once out of thiscurreut, " Grierson replied quiet ! Yet Grierson knew that his task was not going to prove au easy one. For a few minutes he made little or no head way. Metcalfe bung upon his arm al most like a dead weight. Douglas whs doing his ntunst to help himself, lint it availed very little, for, besides the cramp which had attacked him, be was exhausted by his efforts at first to over take and outstrip Grierson. Grierson struggled on, his burden impeding every stroke be made and lessening its effect. The boy felt his own strength ebbing fast. Unless be got out of the current in a few minntea more, he feared that all would be lost. But be was making progress and could set) that the distance between the boat and himself was lessening. "A minute more, and we shall be in smooth water," he whispered hoarsely to Metcalfe. As he spoke Grierson changed Met calfe from his left arm to bis right and used the left for swimming. This gave him considerable ease and rest, and his next few strokes were freer and more vigorous. And now he felt the current decidedly lessening in force. Fie sum moned up all bia remaining energy in one last effort, anil half a dozen more strokes brought him free of the current. The two boys were in calm water, and now, too, they were met by George Marchant and Frank Newlyn, who re lieved Grierson of his burden and took Metcalfe between them. In this order they reached the boat There were many outstretched arms to help them in, and then the boat was towed to the shore. Dr. Metcalfe, the principal of Den mark House and Douglas' father, was not a little alarmed at what bad hap pened, though he did not show it. Both boys were immediately got to bed, and prompt measures taken to restore warmth and circulation to their chilled and aching bodies. These had the de sired effect; in a day or two both Grier son and Metcalfe were back in class and playground. The latter took an early opportunity of seeking Grierson alone. "Ihave to thank yon very much, Grierson," he said. "You saved my life at the risk of your own; there's no doubt about that. And the whole thing was my fault too. I am very sorry. Will you accept my 1 t thanks, and try to forget my purt in the matter? I'll never forget yours." "Why, of course." Grierson replied, and there the matter endud. New York Journal. Her ISitihlng Togs. The little boy wus very much inter ested in a picture that his sister bad bad taken while at the seashore. It was a picture that bad been taken " jnst for the fun of the thing" and not for distribution among her friends one of those pictures that a girl keeps in her own room where none but her intimates may see it. This one showed the young lady and her "dearest friend" on the beach in bathing suits. Both of the girls were pretty and had good figures that the bathing suits showed to excel lent advantage, but the picture seemed to be a source of endless speculation to the boy. "Did you and Mamie wear them togs at the seashore?" he asked one day. "Of course we did," she replied. "Did you wear them short skirts and stockin's so's you could go in bathing?" he persiHted. "Certainly; what inukes you ask such a question?" "Ob, I dunno," be replied carelessly. "I thought mebboyou went in bathin so's you could wear them togs." Chi cago Post. Smokeless Powder Ruins Gone. There seem to be some very serious drawbacks in the usefulness of the smokeless powder, on which the mili tary authorities of the world have ex pended so much money lately. One of the latest discovered of these is that in some way it injures the guns in which it is used. A French newspaper says that the powder has done great damage to the steel guns of the Italian army; that at least 500 pieces of artillery have been rendered practically useless by it. New Orleans Picayune. Undertaker Don't Believe In Spook. An aged undertaker of this city was asked if he bad ever seen any spooks.

Somerville of the English navy, who lived many years in the Hebrides inlands, tells the following interesting talo regurdliig the I work of a professional native rain ; maker. Toward the end of the yar, just after yam planting, there came an unusual period of drought, so that an in land tribe in the island of Ambrym , went to its rainmaker and domntnted his Immediate attention thereto, I He at once set to work to weave a sort of hurdle of the branches and leaves of a tree famed for its rain pro ducing qualities, which, being finished, . was placed, with proper incantations, at the bottom of what should have boon a water hole in tho now parched bed of , the mountain torrent There It was then held In place with stones. Down came the rHin; nor did It ceaso for 48 hours, by which time It bad become too much ot a good thing. Boon the rain producing bnrdle was quite 10 feet un der water in the socthlng torrent, and the people, much to their dismay, saw that their yams and tho sut rounding earth were beginning to wash away down tho hillsides. Tho lioutenant continues: "Now mark what comes of fooling with the elements! No man of tho hill country was able to dive to the bottom of the water hole to pull up the hurdle with its weight of stones, so the merciless rain still held on. At last tho shore na tives, accustomed to swimming and div ing, beard what the matter was, and some of them coming to the assistance the coinpt'llcr of the elements was re covered from its watery bed and the tain stopped!" It is such a coiucldetico as this, hap pening perhaps once tn a decade, which causes this people, now thoroughly Christianized, to n-fnso to give up their rain doctors, although all other out ward forms of rank superstition appear to have been freely abandoned. Louis ville Courier-Journal. Cracking of Tree. The catalpa never shows the "sere and yellow leaf" in autunm like the sumac, bard maple, etc., for the rea son that its leaves are caught in a gTeen.uuripenod state by the first severe frosts. In one night their bright green is turned to a dingy black. This sud den check gorges the cambium layer and new wood of the stem with water. An excess of water swells the proto plasm of the cells to such an extent as to rupture the inelastic bark, and in trees where the cell structure of the wood is not ripe the crack will extend into the wood often with a noise like an explosion. This often occurs in the fall when it is not cold enough to stop plowing. Sometimes we have much loss in nursery In this way with varie ties not fully ripe when the first frosts come. Sometimes indeed it injures very bardy varieties. In such cases the swelling of the protoplasm comes from the water absorbed at the ground sur face when combined wet and cold come together in autumn. The cracking of cherries and pears comes from the same cause that is, by absorbing water on wet days, causing an expansion of the protoplasm. With trees the best treat ment is to cover the rupture with moist clay and then wrap to exclude the air as much as possible. Iowa State Reg ister. The Crawfish and the ITee. "Whenever I hear of a break in the levee down in my district, I know that nine chances to one crawfish have caused it. The assertion may sound slightly exaggerated, but it is a fact nevertheless that the troublesome little crawfish work more danger to the le vees than does the water. On a big rise, when the bed of the river is stretched from embankment to embankment, tho crawfish burrow into the levees and live there in the moist earth. Tbey multiply faster than maggots and loosen op the earth worse than moles. "The levee may be completely sodded with grass and you see no external evi dence of the damage going on within, but when the next big rise comes you will see It. I have frequently known the water to break through the levee two or three feet from the top.and you can at tribute it to nothing but the destructive work of crawfinh. This was particular ly true of the break at O Hut's in IWd, when a portion of the town of Green ville was submerged. The builder of the levee in the future will have to take into account the crawfish as one of bis most stubborn foes." St. Louis Globe Democrat. Swearing. It may be said without exaggeration that swearing forms an important fac tor in the masculine vocabulary of nearly every civilized nation. Great writers like Shakespeare knew this. A collection of Shakespearean oaths and epithets with their etymology would fill a volume. Shakespeare realized that they were inseparable, from a faith ful portrayal of virile human charac ter; that no truthful picture of com mon life would be possible without the use of that strong vehement language in which men express their emotions. But conventionality forbids to nine teenth century writers what the Eliza bethan age not only tolerated, but ap proved. Philadelphia Press. Whistling on Shipboard. If you want to see a disgusted man, just whistle on shipboard before a sail or. You never knew a sailor to whis tle. He will tell you all about "whis tling down the wind," but he could not get up a pucker to save bis ship. You remember that old story about a sea captain who refused to take aboard a woman who whistled, and knowing the old superstition feared that with her on board he would be sure of ship wreck. I do not know how it is with the captains of vessels now, for almost every woman seems to know bow to , whistle and keeps up the fashion.
