Last week she disported herself in a glass tank and floated about in the water with an appearance of eool comfort which on warm nights was very exasperating. A woman who can swim nine miles at a streteh, who eats, drinks, sews, per- forms athletic feats, and, in short, scems as much at home in the water as most people are out of 1t, is interesting. Miss Jeckwith calls herself “The Modern *Mermaid,” and next to swimming she likes to talk ahout swimmin, She gave a woman reporter of the New York Sun along interview the other evening and told a very interesting story of her nata- torial carcer. “How did you happen to learn to swim?" asked the reporter, “Oh, it's born in me, 1 guess. You know I am English. T was born in Lam- beth and we lived right near the beach. My father was the champion swimmer of England for ten years and then he gave way for my brother William, who is the champion now.” “What is the longest swim you ever attempted?” ‘“‘Nine miles.

The Hartford Courant has a charming rhapsody on the delights of getting earty in the morning. Onp extract will show the tenor of the artécle. It says: *'One knows but a half of one's self, and that not the better half. who has not gone forth alone and fresh with sleep into the early morning an lot the voices of that joyful hour make music to the .ear. It is no injustice to the other phases to say that the morning burst of sunshine, fresh- ness and_frazrance is the divinest thing nature for man., It is the hour when optimism is as easy as breathing and life looks as smooth and pleasant us a stretch of meadow Jand. All things, animate and inanimate, have the ap: pearance of taking new heart, and we fall in with the general good cheer and jubilate, not of compulsion, but as in- stinctively as the robins on the orchard trees,” This is a fine composition, comments the Philadelphin Press, and if there were no other parts of the day except the morning, or if they were not filled with nerve straining dutics we would feel disposed to add some high flown rhetorie to the rhapsody of the Courant and advise everybody to get up early in the morning” and enjoy natire. But, as it happens in" this hur- ying modern life of ours, there is an almost constant call for the e penditure of nerve force, and as this foree can only be laid up duving sleep or bodily rest it follows that the ave man must have a certain amount sleep and rest or he becomes nervous! hausted.

Edison, the electrician, proved in his own case how flesh can be acquired by sleep. One week he slept fourteen hours a Jny and the next weck twenty-two hours. The result was & gain of seven poundsin weight. A woman of only moderate physical strength was asked how she managed to attend to the large busine: from which she gained support, and the answer was thut she obtaincd it by slecpiug ten hours six days and spend- ing the whole of the seventh day in bed There has been a visible advance in the health of the Amorican people dur= ing the past twenty or thirty year: stock of vitality has increased and y live longer. And while there ave other reasons for this change the chief one is that people sleep longer and rest more, The hours for work have grad- ually grown fewer. Factory operat are no longer compelled to hurry to the work at 5 o'clock in the ‘morning and work until 7 in the evening. Business and professional men go to their counting rooms and offices an hour or more later and leave as much earlier in the afternoon. The result is more time for sleep and better health. But there is still more voom for improvement in this way., Walter Besant, the English novelis id a fow weeks ago at Har- vard university, when commenting on the graduating class: “A fine, noble looking lot of young men. They are unlike our English university students physically. 1 think our young men, as a rule, are bigger, heavier, stouter men, while yours have more nervous actiyity than ours. They are slighter and per- haps taller, but they seem to be more highly swung nervously.” That is the trouble with & majority of graduates. Notwithstanding the growth of the ath- letie spivit in colleges, too many young men go out into life too “highly strung nervously.” There is no better medicine than good sleep amd plenty of it, and many a boy and man is erippled in energy by an unwise habit of getting up too early in the morning. The American veople would be happier, there would be just as much work done, the insane asylums would be half empty and there would be less crime committed if people slept longer. It is time the so-called shug- gavd had his rights and the man who prefers his morning snooze to a morn- ing cocktail is estimated at his proper value. ——— THE BIZE OF THE SBEA, Facts that May Woll Astonish One gallon of water wi 80 the number of gallons in the Pacific is over 200 trillions: anamount which would take more than a million years to pass over the falls of Niagara. ~ Yet, put into a sphere, the whole of the Pacitic would only measure 726 miles across, suys Long- wan's Magazine, The Atlantic could be contained bodily in the Pacific nearly three times. The number of cubie feet is 117 followed by soventecn ciphers; & number that woulld be ticked off by our willion elocks in 10,000 years. Its weight is 325,000 tons, and the number of gallons teillions. A sphere to hold the Atlantic would have to be 5334 miles in digmeter. If it were made tofill a circular pipe reaching from the carth to the sun—a distance of 93,000,000 miles —the pipe would be 1837 yards, or rather over a mile; while a pipe of simi- lar length to contain the Pacific would be over & mwile and three-quas Yet the distance to the sun is 80 g that, as has been pointed out, if 4 chi were bora with an arm long enough to veach the sun it would not live long nough to know that it had touched it, for sensation passes along our nerves at the rate of 100 feet a second, and to travel from the sun to the earth at tha' rate would take a century and a half and such an abnormal infant is an un- likely centenarian. The rest of the sea includes ocean, the Arctic and and various smaller masses of water, It covers an area of 42,000,000 square miles, and would form a circle of 7,800 miles in diagmeter, The average depth may be put at 2,000 fathoms (12,000 feet ), and the contents at 15,000,000 cubic miles, It weighs 400,000 tons, and contains 874 trillion gallons, while it would form a struct as Well as ighs ten pounds, the India Antarctic seas, numbers of | | of which are in up | column reaching to the sun of 2,000 yarde in diameter, It we now combine {nto one vast whole these various figures, wo arrive at some stupendous results inanswer to the ques- tion, “How big it the sea?" Its arcn of 140,000,000 square miles could be confined by a eircle 13,350 mile ss. The relative size of the areas of whole surface of the eapth, of the whole sea, the Pacific and the Atlantic are rapresented by circles the diameters the proportions to one another of 158, 133, 93 and 62 respective ly: or by a crown for the surface of the carth, a half-crown for the surface of the whole sea, a shilling for the sur of the Pacitie, o threo-penny pic the surface of the Atlantic, Supposing the sew to bo formed into a round column reaching to the sun, the diametor of the column would be nearly tvo and a half miles. The Pacific would form 53,000,000 miles of its total length of 93,000,000, and the Atlantic 18,000,000, If it were a column of ice, &nd the en- tire heat of the sun concentrated upon it, it would be all melted in one secona and converted into steam in eight sec- onds, which illustrates the heat of the sun rather than the size of the sea.

These coins were minted at mers islands, now known as the Bermudas. For a period of more than a quarter of a ntury after this, however, tobacco and beaver skins were reckoned as law- ful currency. In 1645 the assembly of Virginia met and declared that it “had maturcly weighed and consid- ered how advantageous a quoine (coin) wouid be to this colony. and how much better it would be than a sole depend- eney upon tobaceo and pelts.” Afts this they provided for the coinage of copper coins of the denominations of 2 pence, 3 pence, 6 pence and 9 pence] but this resolution was never carvied into effect. The first coinage in Amer proper was the series of coins “struck at Boston under the order of the gen- eral court of Massachusetts, pa: sed May 27, 1652, the coins being 3, 6and 12 pence denominations, “in forme flatt and stamped on one side with the letters ‘N.

There is an epidemic of indigestior and cholera infantum in this and other statos, Health boards everywhere are repor ing wstartling fatality from cholera {n- fantum. Physicians say that in vearly every case the ehild is poorly fed and nour- ished, aud hence the disease. “Itis absolutely certuin,” sayvs a phy- siviun fn one of ‘the medical journals, speaking of the alarming summor mor- tality among his patients, “that the wuse of this high death rate amonyg in- fants is indigestion.” At the beginning of summor, the best physicians gave warning that pure food must be used for babics, That this warning did not reach every ity in this state is ovident from vhe high infantile death rate. Butinthose places where the newspapers published discussions that wero going on, lwrge quantities of lactated food weresold and this best of dicts for ehildren was used. The result stutisties show that fewer deaths have oceurred in those towns and cities where the larger amount of lactated food vus used. Comparisons of this lutely convincing. August is n fatal month for the little ones, and unless lactated food is used, the loecal physicians say that the dread- ful mortality and jncreasing amount of sickness among chitdren will continue, The one safe plan is to feed infants on lactated food.
