Northwestern university has a great swimming team. It is made up chiefly of a hardy youth by the name of Johnson, more commonly known as ‘“‘Swede.”” Johnsonm, °or “Swede” is something approaching the whole team. In the various duel meets he took most of the first place honors and in the Western Confer- ence competitions won three events and ke the record in each. “Swede” swam the forty-yard dash in 20 2-6 seconds, the 100 in 59 1-§ seconds, and the 220 in 2'minutes 40 3-5 seconds.

GIN OF THE WORD “DIXIE" i Songs may come and songs may £0, but some songs 20 on forever. ;One of the “forever’’ appears to be “Dixie,” says the New York World. Once appropriated to the service of the Confederacy as a battle song, its use and popularity are now national —in fact, one hears it the world over. Few know the words of “Dix- fe,”” yet so contagiously pleasing is its music that it has become a song without words of universal appe | Many stories are related, with more or less authority by the tellers, as to how the song same to be com-, 'posed and as to the origin and sig- nificance of the word “‘Dixie.” There . no doubt as to its authorship. It was written by Dan- fel Decatur Emmett in 1859 while he was a member of Bryant's Min- strels, whose theater was at No. 472 Broadway, New York. is, however, | The story of how it came to be written was often told by Emmett. Under his contract he was obliged, whenever called upon, to compose a new ‘“walk around” to be sung at the close of each performance. It was on one of these occasions that he wrote “Dixie''—on very short 'notice, as He said. It was first sung, as extant programs show, on Sep- tember 12, h. A program of that date reads: *“The performance to conclude with Dan Emmett’s orizin- al plantation song and dance, ‘Dix- fe's Land,’ introducing the whole troupe in their festival dance.” of Word * As to the origin and significance of the word “Dixie,” Mr. Emmett said that it was suggested to him in this way: As soon as cold, wintry weather set in up North the min- strels of his company would wish themselves back in Dixie's Land. On a very cold day it was common for them to say longingly, “O! 1 wish I was in Dixle's Land.” As to the meaning of the word “Dixie"” as thus used It was vaguely supposed to be a diminutive of “Dixon,” de- noting any place south of Mason and Dixon's line. But whatever the origin of the word “Dixie” may have been the sonz “Dixie” first sprang into popu- larity in“New Orleans in the fall of 1860, where it was sung in a theater at the close of spectacular perform- ance by a troupe of young women ! dressed as zouaves. Its success was instantaneous, and from the Cres- | cent City it rapidly spread to Con- federate battlefields, soon becoming firmly established as the Southern Wwar Ssong.

No matter how/busy she is, she should spend « certain amount of time every day playin3 with her children. By so doing she may develop them physically and morally, and this is a - greater achievement than embroidering lace dresses for them or chasing dust in a too elaborately furnished home.” Of just so much importance does Mrs. Winifred Sackvlle Stoner Con- sider playing with the bady. Mrs. Stoner is a good Suffragist, but her theories come those held by the group of advanced feminists who would regulate their bebes from birth to the care of paid attendants. From the beginning she herselt has been “her wonderful daughter's chief playmate as well as teacher, indeed, the two rojes have merged Ilnlo one. [ asked her to tell me some of the ways in which a moth- er may intelligently amuse her child. “Purposq’ul play should be en- courazed while the child is still in the cradle,” she said. ‘“‘Instead of giving him a foolish ‘pacifier’ to suck, let him have a medicine ball |to strengthen his muscles, or a toy {baloon and a string of bells to train i{the senses of sight and hearing. | *“As soon as he is a little- older fit up a room, or even the corner of a Toom, as a gymnasium, with a punching bag, artificial tree and other gimple paraphernalia. Thus his natural donging for exercise will be satisfied in no aimless fashion.” “What do you think of the com- mercial amusements provided for | children, such as maving pictures?” |1 asked the mother. l ‘4If the right sort of pictures are | much of educational value may bé conveyed to the children,” she said. “To develop the sense of touch let the mother and child walk about the nursery blindfolded lndl try to identify objects by feeling of them. To train the sense of sizht, place chessmen, beans or other small objects on the table and let the child say how many are spread out before {him while the mother counts five. Let him walk past a loaded table or shop window and then see how ; many objects he noted in his hrie( survey. Try to develop his bump of! location by asking him to guide you to some place which he has prev- fously visited in your company. Play- ing Indian scouts is another excel- lent way to develop the senses.” “When possible, a child should have a garden and pets. He should be shown how to plant and care for |his flowers and he will enjoy mak- ing a little garden house. 5000 HORSES TO WAR WEEKLY New York, April 15.—Beginning {today the British goveyrnment will follow the plan of ‘the French and export from this country one thou- sand horses a week, the French con- tracts having practically all been filled.
