You find tut u the thixa'tning lreakera 1'laj thmg and not a terror. You are lift! up high in tho air within a few fttt of the shore and within a foot from the curl of the ive as it make its final break, jtt with scarce j any effort jou keep out ide the tumble and meet the next urge, which kindly lift you on its lack and lit- j ou down into the deep, watrry 1 ollow So now jnumaj w any dav gentlemen ami ladies nding the waves off Sivnii-.t lea h, and the Atlintic octaii come in here witu more of a Uwm than at Itockaway The "undertow" w on't carry J u far out to hea The "undertow" will carry j ou onlv a few feet from the hore The "undertow' Mmplj the wah or bai kward flow of water off the incline of the beach, and its strength n proportionate to the steepness of uch in cliuatiou Iisstivngth is all pme wht-n it meets the deeper water a few feet from the shorn. On our ocean shorts you will generally find a tiJe or current setting along th coast or parallel to it one way or the other, nd if you will watch a chip or Ixvtrd thrown jutoutide the breaker you will see t t ft float, along hore, but does not go out ioeu, and jour body will, in tho same Mln-ticn, float in tae same direction if you will let it alone Some ocean leaches like thi at Sconset shelve down want or deepen sudleiilv at a few feet distant from tho water edge. Where the waxes break they jound or ii a trench of varjiujj depth, accenting to the strength M the ma&s of wattr coutautH falling like a hammer on one put. Just insitle or iuhore of this trench the rush of buck water from the pent wave, or "undertow,"' i great est, while outside of it there is hardly any such ru-b of water at alL If you am even swept off by an "undertow," and find no bottom for your feet to touch, and j ou cannot swim. I think any good swimmer will agiee with me in telling j ou to extend your arm a widely apart as jtos&ible, letting them lay like two fins or flappers on the water's sur face. Keep cool, or as cool as you can, and don't begin to Custer or kick or struggle, for to sure as j ou do j our Lead will go under water The less you do with jour Imdy the better Thenwecomiosed and calm your breath the letter If a bit cf water does wah over j our bead, let it w .vb. Your bead will come out again. Anj swimmer can keep himself on the water's surface with tho merest play of his handj or feet, providing he doeif t want to get ahead, and I think 3 ou can do the same thing if you will only make yourself think yon can lefore going into the water ItV scare and consequent, struggling that drowns eople, a much as water The Luman bodt almost floats through its own buovaucy. and the easier and gentler the motion of 3 cur fins the easier it floats. When on your feet lean your bKly up against th undertow when it is ruumng back from the beach. Thus jou brace up against being swept off b it. if 3ou lean m the same direction it is running, as most people at first mvountarily do, you are put ting your own weight end muscle in tho scale against jourself and helping the water sweep you off. 1 Ian your body the other way, or out to seaward, when jou see a billow coming. Don't wait for it to come and curl over, but step out and meet it before it curls and tumbles. Vhen instead of being knocked j down and rolled over ani over, you will be ever so gently lifted by it off your feet and poibly set upon them 1 agair. If you tand in water up to your shoulders, 3 ou may not when the billow 1ms passed by find bottom with jour toe Then spread jour arms and keep still Or, if you are in a irf up to your waist and you ee a billow coming as high as your head, jump up ju-t before it reaches 3 ou Then ' balf its force iases under you When 3 on dive through one of these advancing inavses of water, you oppo-e only a few inches of your body to its force. When you stand up or try to run from it you are opposing the whole of your body to it, and the more sur face you give for it to operate on, the bigger the bang it w ill give you I do not imply that these suggestions will make a skillful surf swimmer. There is a 'knack" of coping with the braktrs and eventuallj Incoming almost as much at home in them as a fih, which can come only of practice and that certain intlescnbable intui tion or self teaching process, whereby one becomes theexjrt dancer, the expcit marks man, the exiert rider, the expert in any thing, and it la a sense which no person can completely give another; no more than you can give me an ear for music, if I am an owl or if I, lemg an owl, can gie jou the ability to see a mouse 111 th gras at mght. JStlcktotl.e determination to get this knack and you will get it, and you will not then be obliged to stand clinging to a In e cowering and cringing, the scorn of each incoming wave as it kicks, jou contemptuous!) out tf its way. Of course there danger to inexperienced people from n heavy undertow, and when they find themselves tciug carried off bj it they generally do all thej can by thur strug gles and movements, wuhout ami or object, to bring about a ttad result, u all of u are apt to do in i-nod of fright But the under tow is not an interminable unendiug cur rent stretching so far out to sea. Its whole force 1 spent a fen feet from the shore, jut a the force of a mill stream is spent after it has rushed through the iuice, anl the same water apiears in the quiet pond below To get the best of a dangerous Ihirg we want to know a nearly a- os.sible what it uaud what it isn't. There are a few very able and verj pretty girl swimmers he--e, who handle eieu ln?aj' breakers, either ou or off shoie almost u gracefullj as t eil or poi-poise and whose red caj prtl heads may l senh the watchers 011 shot n-ing and falling, a pi taring and disappeaimgiu surge wbereeenaScou.st fisherman w ouM reipnreall his struiglh and akill to land a dii'' safelj.

No Universal Remedy has yet been discovered ; but, as at least four-tiftlis of human disease have their source in linpuro ISlootl, a tnAdicina which rt stores that iluid from a de praved to .1 htilth) condition comes as near bun.; a uuiiersil cure as anj that can be jirudund. Acer's Sarsaparltlu affects tlio blood in each stage of iti formation, and is, therefore, adapted to a prrt ater ariety ot complaints than any otlier Know n mediLine. Boils and Carbuncles, - which defr ordinary treatment, yield to Ayer's Sarsaparilla after a comarative 1 brief trial. Jlr. C. K. Murray, of Cliarlottesville, Va , writes that for years he was af Hated with boils which caused him much suffering. These wea succeeded by carbuncles, of which he had several at one time, lie then liegan the use ot Ayer's S irsaparilla, and after taking three botths, the carbuncles disap peared, aud for six ears he has not had even a pimple. That insidious disease, Scrofula, is the fruitful cause of innumerable com plaints. Consumption being only one ot many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers, sore eyts, glandular swellings, weak and wasteil muscles, a capricious appe tite, and tho like, are pretty sure indi cations ot a scrofulous taint In the system. Many otlierw lse beautiful faces are disfigured by pimples, eruptions, and unsightly blotches, which arise from impure blood, showing the need ot Ayer's Sarsapanlla to remedy the evil. All sufferers from blood disorders should gie Ajer's Sarsaparilla a fair trial, avoiding all pnvnU rs, ointments, and washes, and esiH-iially cheap and worthless lomiHHinds, which not only fail to effect a dire, but more frequently aggravate and omlirm the diseases they are fraudulently advertised to remedy.
