A few, however, linger on the meadows in company with the great host of their kindred. multiplicity or sax**. There is nothing more confusing to the tyro than the multiplicity of the names which the snipe family bears, and they vary in every part of the country. Thus the common "yellow-leg snipe" is known as the telltale, godwit, telltale tattler, yelper. yellow shanks, plover, stone snipe, cu-cu. yellow shins, and a dozen combi nations of these names. This is also true of the curlews, willeta. plover, and other bay or up land birds, so that it puzzles even the naturalist to know what bird is really mentioned by the gunners in the different localities. They all bear a strong family resemblance and have common traits. I will not enter into any sort of description of the birds?that can be easily procured but give yon a brief de scription of the manner in which they are hunted. Of course the better and more sports manlike proceeding is with a good snipe dog. but, as good snipe dogs are exceedingly rare, there are comparatively few who enjoy that pleasure.

A Railway's Benevolent Scheme Re garding the Extraction of Cinders. "CBMIl" XADXSIA FOE JELLY?QUAnrr ANECDOTE OF COL. THOMAS SCOTT?BOSTON'S AFPETIT* TO THINOS SCIENTIFIC?WHY LOT EM IX AB TO DO THEIB TRYSTINO ON THE CHARLES. Special Correspondence ot The Ktinixo Atm Boston, August 1.1889. It is reported that a New England railway is about to adopt a new ftea, not less original in its conception than humane in the object it is intended to accomplish. The notion is dimply that every conductor in the employ of the road shall acquire, through as many lessons from a first-rate oculist as may be necessary, a knowl edge of the best process for extracting a cinder from the eye. The amount of real misery arising from this cause on passenger trains in the course of a year is positively incalculable. Think how mauy people there are who endure hours of torture thus occasioned before they can get to the end of their Journey and take measures for obtaining relief. Is thore a single Sergon that rends this letter who has not been irough at least one experience of the sort? But now something is to be done, on this road at least, to mitigate the pangs of the cinder cursed unfortunate. In future, it is said, the passenger thus sadly afflicted will be able to appeal with confidence to the conductor, who will say in reply: "If you please, sir,"?or "madam"?"look down a moment." removing the cinder. Whereupon the impromptu patient will have the lid of his eye turned quickly inside out by means of a lenil pencil and a delicate grasp upon the lashes, and the ticket-punch expert will cast an investigating glance over the exposed conjunctiva membrane through a small but poworful magnifying glass. Having ascer tained the precise location of the cinder he will deftly remove it with the corner of his handkerchief or with the moistened end of a toothpick, if the obstruction is particularly ob stinate, and the victim will experience a relief the intensity of which only those who have en dured ouch torments can appreciate. To the conductor also it will doubtless be most grati fying to apply bcuuticent ministrations of the kind to the people whose bodily safety while traveling is intrusted to his care. the cimdeh that makes trouble is almost invariably caught in tho little folds beneath the upper lid of the eye. Unless so detained any foreign substance is at once ??winked out," nature having constructed the organ apparently with a view to accomplishing this object. A sharp, jagged thing like a minute scrap of burned coal, however, is apt to lodge in tho folds aforesaid, and then there is distress at once?even the most microscopic bit of calcined carbon occasioning immediate aud violent inflammation?the only cure for which is the removal of the disturbing cause. In big factories there is usually one man who is a skilled amateur in this art. and any em ploye who gets something in his eye goes to him for help. As a rule such assistance is well rendered, for the matter is simple enough when once understood. SHE rSED IT FOR JELLY. The most disgusted householder in the mod ern Athens just at present is a Beacon-street gentleman whose family in the summer time reside at Nuhant?that "slice of cold roast Boston," as the exclusive watering place in question has been appropriately called. The other day, upon returning to his seashore villa from his daily avocation in tho city, he re marked to his wife with some alarm that, hav ing had occasion to visit his town house for the purpose of assnring himself that everything was safe, he had sought in vain for six bottles of priceless old Madiera which were stowed away in a small cupboard by themselves for safe keeping. "The cupboard in the corner by the book shelf?" inquired the lady. "Yes, indeed; that was the place." "I'm sorry, my dear," said she, "but the fact is that I used those six bottles to make jelly with just before we came away. It was un commonly good jelly, too, though of course I regret it very much if I have taken any wine that you desired particularly to keep. But, in deed. there was none other handy." "Could you not find some for your Jolly that was worth less than $1,000 a bottle?" asked the husband, with a groan. "A thousand dollars a bottle! Why, what can you mean?" "Simply that I cannot replace those six bot tles at that or any other price. They wero my especial treasure, never intended to be drunk, save, possibly, as events in a lifetime. It was a brag of mine to say that I had that quantity of real old Madeira in mv house; now it is gone, and for jelly. Ye gods!" "It was remarkably good jelly," was all the poor woman could think of saying by way of apology. SCARCITY OF OLD MADEIRA. And it is no wonder that the gentleman of i Beacon street was distressed. How muny bot tles of old Madeira do you supposed there are at present in these United States? About 100. perhaps, and connoisseurs in wine can tell you who owns pretty nearly every quart of it. Years ago a dreadful bug attacked the vines and exterminated them. The insect was sub dued at length aud slips of the sanio varieties were planted; but, alas! the new grape pro duced a differont juice. The Madeira of to-day comes from the same island and the same grane, but it is no more like the original than chalk is like cheese. Hence the enormous value possessed by tne small remnant of the ancient product. It cannot be said that there is any quotation in the market for it. Simply, it is* not for sale. The few bottles of it that still exist are owned bv persons in well-to-do circumstances, who do not care to sell it at any price. HE MADE IT LAST HIS LIFE TIME. A generation ago there was an old gentleman in Philadelphia who had the good fortune to possess half a pipe of this precious wine?prob ably the largest amount owned at that time by any individual living, for even then its value had grown to be fabulous. He figured it up that the supply would last him, if he used ono pint at dinner daily, precisely so many years, months, and days. So, like a mariner in dis tress for water, he placed himself on an allow ance of that much per diem, never on any ac count to be exceeded. Life was not worth liv ing, he said, without Madeira at dinner, and when his little stock should come to an end it was his intention to die with as little delay as possible. And so, curiously enough, he did, within tweifty-four hours of tho time when the last small bottlo of tho "Crisis" vintage was wiped oat. col. bcott's wink. The late Thos. Scott of Pennsylvania railway fame, with no notion of offending in any man ner, bought in, at a price no one else could afford to pay, the stock of old Madeira which hud been the especial pride and joy of a dis tinguished Philadelphian, at that time recently deceased. Nor, so far, was CoL Scott guilty of any breach of the proprieties. But it seems that, having occasion to give a large ball at his house soon afterward, he thought it would be the proper thing to open the precious nectar from bug-destroyed vines by wholesale on the festive occasion, in order that every one might have as much of it as he wanted to drink. A QUEST WHO FELT INSULTED. It was in the midst of the festivities, while supper was in progress and a throng of young men in claw-hammer coats were crowding with eager appetite arouud the tables in the salle-a manger, struggling for fried oysters and salad und guluing down the wine as fast as the wait ers could supply it in bottles, that CoL Scott, who had remained conversing with two or three other railway magnates in the half deserted ball room, saw approaching him a gentleman well known to nim as a person of social distinction. The colonel hastened to ad dress him, saying: "My deur Mr. B., yon look warm." "Sir!" exclaimed the new comer, whose fam ily name is to this day an aristocratic pedigree in itself. "I consider that I have been insulted in your house and I shall leave it at once." "Insulted in my house?" echoed the colonel, astonished. "Grossly insulted, sir," reiterated Mr. B. angrily. "I found a crowd of young men about the supper tables just now swilling madeira. I ventured to take a glass and taste It, sir, taste it!" "Well, wasn't it good?" asked CoL Scott, mystified: "Good!" fairly shouted the angry man. "It was "crisis" madeira, poured out by the gallon for swigging in goblets by a orowd of boobies who don t know the difference between sherrv and port. You are perfectly well aware, CoL Scott, that I and mauy other gentlemen here to-night, who possess cultivated tastes instead of vulgar millions, would regard it as the ut most luxury to have a single wineglasafnl of that madeira once a month, if we could afford to bny it. But we cannot, as you know, and so you take advantage of this opportunity to oat rage our feeUngs by serving it in tabs, as one ini^ht say, for a lot of young pigs. Goodnight, And with this the wrothy bon vivant strode oat of the room, picked up his hat and eoat outside and left the house with indignation and disgust in his heart for all newly-acquired wealth and gastronomio philistinism. ACTIO* or TMB sun's BAYS ILLUSTRATED. The average Bortaniaa indalgsa a decided taste for matter* scientific. At any time of the day juot now you may see gathered about aa optician's window a crowd of people who ea gerly watch the operation of two simple in struments. each of which illustrates what might be called the action of a sun's ray at work. One of these contrivances is a circular disk twelve inches in diameter, divided by spoke-like lines into several different-sized parts, each of which is tinted some color of the rainbow?blue, red, green, yellow, aud the rest?in order as they appear in the solar spectrum. By the action of n small electro motor the disk is made to whirl around at intervals, the result being that to the eye of the observer its surface appears perfectly white. This, of course, is intended to illustrate the fact that the white light of the sun is made up of all the colors of the rainbow mixed together in due proportion. THK RADIOMETER. The second instrument referred to is a ?"radiometer," the most important part of which is four tiny copperplates revolving after (he manner of a weather vane on a pivot The plates are set at a slight angle, so as to catch the sun's ravs coming through the show win dow, and accomplish their little performance within a glass-surrounded vacuum, which offers no resistance worth mentioning to the move ment of the apparatus. On one side each of the little plates is painted blaok, so as to absorb the light; on the other side it is brightly sil vered, in order to reflect as much as possible. Thus the energv, of which the light aud the accompanying fieat are merely modifications, is exerted on the black surfaces, and, being shed off the bright surface, the pivoted plates are made to revolve. Even in a moderately well lighted room they will keep going all the day time, while in the sun of noon thev whirl around like everything, as if impelled by some invisible and mysterious force. Philosophers have thought that like principles might be use fully applied by employing a vast extent of surfacQ exposed to the sun for the running of machinery; but so far the notion has exhibited no more promise of being successfully utilized than the scheme for extracting gas from water wherewith to keep the earth agoing. A SIOHI AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER. There is an amateur photographic crank here in town who has developed a morbid passion for a most unusual pastime. If his identity were ascertained?up to date it is a mystery? he would be apt to suffer from various kicks and. other unpleasant things inflicted by per sons who have undergone annoyance at his hands. The Charles river at this season of the year is a favorite trvsting place for aquatically disposed lovers, who paddle about on the caln> waters after sundown and spoon and spoon and spoon until the very fishes come up to the surface and gasp for breath. Naturally, the dark of the moon is considered the most appropriate time for these amatory pursuits, and it is at such periods of lunar" obscuration that tho crank photographer above referred to gets in his highly reprehensible work. Armed with a camera he paddles a light canoe silently about over the still surface until he finds himself un perceived in the neighborhood of some small craft, tho suspicious immobility ol which be trays the presence of CUPID AT TliE HELM. Then, without making tho slightest noise he trains his instrument upon t' unconscious victims, springs a little magnes; a flash light aud jerks simultaneously a np> .ug that exposes a dry plate for a fraction of a second, l'his, at any rate, is supposed to be his method, thouglfthe astonishing swiftness with which he Skips away down stream after performing an operation of the sort has thus far pre cluded all possibility of investigation. The outrage has been perpetrated so many times that the owner of the canoe must now have quite a gallery of lovers afloat, in goodness knows how many photographic phases of ama tory progress, all ready for exhibition at so much a head to the thousands of curious peo ple who would undoubtedly be willing to pay liberally for a view of the collection. And meanwhile it appears that engaged or "court ing" couples who go out in boats to ipoon upon the Charles are rapidly becoming fewer, owing to the fear of being "took" unawares by this scamp with the magnesium light. Bene Bache. IN SALT AND FRESH WATER. Swimming Described From the Stand point of a Physician. THE CURATIVE AND HYGIENIC ADVANTAGES OF THIS EXERCISE?ORE AT LOSS OF LIFE IN CONBEyl'ENOE OF IGNORANCE OF THE ART?THE DANGERS FROM HEART FAILURE AND SHARKS EXAGGERATED. "Bathing and boating accidents" was the subject of aa interesting paper which was read by Dr. Irving C. Bosse, professor of nervous diseases, Georgetown university, at the recent meetiug of physicians at Newport, B. L "As a physician and practical athlete,' he said, "I may show more than ordinary en thusiasm in making a plea for the educational, hygienic and curative advantages of an exer cise that I havo practiced at many different places over the world, from the tropics to the Arctic ocean, and in such places as mountain lakes, the mid-Atlantic and even in a volcanic crater some 2,000 feet deep. Tho frequent ac counts of drowning that one reads constantly in the daily papers at this season, aside from those occurring in the late floods, instead of dampening rather rekindle an ardor, to which is added a tinge of regret consequent upon the reflection that most of these accidents arise from inability to swim, for with only a moder ate knowledge of this easily acquired art, many lives may be saved and much bereavement pre vented. Philanthropic motives, if no other, would therefore prompt one to give the matter more than passing notice. In vie w of the sur prisingly great number of deaths from drowning it is lamentable in this prac tical age that the useful art of swimming takes such small part in the training of vouth. Young minds are crammed with all sorts of useless information to the neglect of what is essential to the preservation of per sonal health and the saving of life. Legisla tors vote largo sums of money for doubtful lobs, yet refuse to countenance the establish ment of swimming baths in our cities. The police regulations of most of our large towns, conceived in the interests of extreme prudery, virtually tend to make swimming one of the lost arts. Those of the District of Columbia, for instance, were evidently framed in the same spirit of protest which caused a former governor of Maryland to object to midshipmen swimming from a certain wharf in the naval academy because the ladies could see them with their opera glasses. THE IMPORTANCE OT SWIMMING. "That people do not fully realize the impor tance of swimming is a trite observation, but a truth none the worse for frequent repetition, and allowing it to lie fallow will never bring about the desired information. Long personal experience with swimming so convinces me of its usefulness that if it came to a choice between knowing the higher mathematics or how to swim I should choose the latter every time. At many of the large schools in England lads are obliged to pass in swimming before they are allowed to go out in boats. This rule, established at Eaton in 1840, has been effectual there in the prevention of drowning, only one case having occurred sinco that time, although tho swamping of boats has been frequent. A yearly average of 150 boys learn swim ?*d pass the tost. It is, of course, possible to en force Buch a rule in schoolsi and among bodies of individuals where discipline obtains, yet this manly and invigorating accomplishment is neglected both in educational establishments and in the army. Swimming is taught at our naval academy, but at West Point it is not, and most of the cadets are lamentably< deficient in this respect. The statistical exhibits of our late war show the strongest reason WHT A SOLDIER SHOULD ENOW HOW TO (VOL "The aggregation of killed in action is shown to be 67.058, while there were drowned 106 officers and 4,838 men. The small regular army lost 5 officers and 89 men from this oause; the United States colored troops 6 officers and 389 men; and the volunteers furnished a large con tingent, the state of Ohio alone having lost 14 officers and 770 men from drowning. Just think of a number amounting to five regiments perishing from easily preventable cause; for the majority of these men were drowned in such circumstances as fording a stream, cross ing narrow rivers, or by the upsetting of small boats, when a few strokes would have sufficed to save life. But the best swimmers are often drowned, say the cynical wiseacres. True, a ?ood swimmer sometimes meets with that mis ortune, but the occurrence is so rare that for that very reason a vivid effect is produced on the imagination and memory of unthinking persons, who, accustomed to make pottlwc eon elusions, never for a moment oonsider the greater number who are saved by knowing how to swim. SOMZ OBJECTIONS AfSWUID. "Among other prevailing and gioondl? ob? j ections to swimming ate the production of colds, the danger of heart failure and the risk of being bitten by sharks. Aa to colds and the effect of the cold immersion in the water. I should say that the danger therefrom to greatly exaggerated, if my ova experience any guide, for Inave never had a ookl from swim ming in icy water, even under the Arctic iMs. Onus contrary, one of tha_asvyaa> m ever had was contracted In Washington years since with the thermometer high in the nineties, which necessitated a visit to the sea shore. where, after two swims, the cold disap peared as if by magic. There are. of court*, many weak people whose cheat organs are in ?ndh condition that they should not venture to swim; hot I am convinced that the neglect to learn swimming in childhood and the absence of this eminently hygienic exercise are respon sible for many flabby hearts, weak lungs and torpid minds. IK AID IX MUOCULA* DEVELOPMENT. "In addition to being generally tonic and brac ing the effect of swimming, considered in itself, is to develop the muscular system and to exert a favorable influence on the great bodily func tions, a* the digestion, nutrition, respiration, circulation and enervation. No other exercise with which I am familiar gets the heart and lnngs in better working order, and none is bet ter for getting one in what sporting men call "condition." After two weeks' daily swim in salt water I have run a measured mile on a beach with very little more embarrassment to circulation and respiration than if 1 had walked the same distance. Aside from the physical another advantage of a high order accrue* In the way of happy moral influences. Boxing, sword play and several other manly pastimes will do much to develop courage, prudence and cleverness; but the cold-blooded quiet and presence of mind which aid us to avoid danger or to conquer it, or to lend ourselves to an act of devotion, are best cultivated by the exercise of swimming. What, for instance, is a more brilliant and commendable act of devotion than that of a dauntless swimmer, who. rogardless of self, plunges overboard at the risk of his own life to save a fellow being from drowning? AS A CURATIVE MEANS swimming also comes in for praise. In this re spect it is superior in many conditions to the 60-called "tent cure," to massage, electricity or drugs, and may be employed with benefit in scrofula, chlorosis, convalescence, insomnia and many other nervous diseases, as chorea and hysteria. The latter malady, especially, I have known to be cured after a course in "the swimmiug baths of Alameda. CaL, and my ex perience as a neurologist leads me to recom mend swimming as one of the best adjuvants in the treatment of nervous (lineages. THE SHAUK MYTH.
