TO RESCUE A DROWNINQ MAN.
Frsm Behind Grasp Him Tightly Around
the Chest With the loft Arm.
“A swimmer must get at the
drowning man and turn him on his
back. If he is quiet, support him by
the head. If not, he must be gripped
just above the elbows, so that he is
unable to impede his rescuer, and the
rescuer of course uses only his legs. ”
A much safer method for both
concerned is for the swimmer to put
his left arm behind tightly round the
drowning man, so that the rescuer’s
arm is placed across the drowning
man's chest, while the latter’s back
is resting firmly against the swim
mer’s chest
This leaves .the drowning man’s
head and shoulders out of the water,
and, moreover, from his position in
the firm grasp of the swimmer he at
once becomes assured of his safety
gpd ceases all struggling as by in
stinct But in any case the rescuer
is perfectly safe from his “deadly
embrace,” and it is impossible to ef
fectually embrace, deadly or other
wise, any one to whom one’s back is
turned
This mode of rescuing leaves the
swimmer the full and free use of
both his legs and also of his right
arm for propelling purposes, the legs
being used alternately as in “tread
ing water," and the arm as a power
ful scull or as an oar, but without
lifting the arm out of the water.
This gives a good speed which, with
a little practice, may be kept up for
quite a considerable distance.
The above is not merely a theoret
ical method of life saving, but an
eminently practical one and in use in
at least one of “the continental ar
mies,” (tf, alack I the Danish army of
today may be ranked among these).
The subscriber haa'himself from per
sonal experience of rescuing found
the method good Besides, the meth
od is so easy of performance that a
boy 18 or 14, if he be a fair swim
mer, may without difficulty take
ashore a full grown man. *
Of course if the person to be res
cued “is reasonable and keeps cool,’’
many other methods might be em
ployed, as, for example, the one sug
gested by Mr. Henry, “to turn the
man on his chest, his hands resting
on his rescuer’s shoulders.’’—L. Obel
hi Westminster Gazette.
Aa Early “Speaking Machine."
Just after the close of the Crystal
exposition in London M.
npelon, a native of Hungary, ex
hibited a wonderful “speaking ma
chine” at the great cockney resort
known as Egyptian hall. The invent
or of this oddity had done his best
to finish his machine in time for the
great exposition, but had failed and
in order to show him that they ap
predated his labors 9,000 Londoners
visited Egyptian hall the first day
that it was exhibited The “ma
chine” consisted of an air chest, with
pipes, valves, bellows, eta, for
lungs; a glottis made of reeds, and a
face, mouth, jaws and nostrils made
to resemble those of a man. It pro
nounced all the letters of the alpha
bet distinctly except d, k, g and t,
which were given a very imperfect
accent The rudeness of construc
tion made the voice somewhat harsh,
but the reports made at the time say
that it pronounced long words and
sentences so as to make them per
fectly intelligible.—St Louis Repub
lic.
A Hew Story cf Gcorgp Washington.
Here is a new story of the father
of Us country. Washington’s head
ner was from some European
_ lorn, where he had worked in
the royal grounds. But coming to
America he left his wife behind
Homesickness for his “gude” wom
an’s face soon began to prey on him,
and Washington noticed the anxious
eye and drooping spirits of his serv
ant Finally the man went down to
the river and declared his intention
of shipping to the old country, when
who should come up and lean over
the side of a newly arrived vessel
but his wife! The kind hearted gen
eral had secretly sent for the wom
an, and she fortunately surprised her
loving husband in one of his fits of
despondency.—Philadelphia Times.

study)—Well, is that old bore gone
at last!
- Mrs. Claricus (from the drawing
room, dirhere Mrs. Longwind still
sits)—Oh, yes, my dear, she went an
hour ago. But our dear Mrs. Long-
wind is here. I know you will want
to come in and see her.—Once a

Men Who Chew Cam.
It is customary to saddle all the
gum chewing upon the girl of the
period Don’t you make a mistake.
Plenty of men chew gum. It is
usually private, at least out of public
view, but they buy gum in vast
quantities every day. In nearly
every restaurant, upon every cigar
stand, on almost every cashier’s desk
you’ll see the gumbox. From half a
gross to a gross of sticks of gum are
disposed of in a single place every
day.
“Some buy it for the breath,” said
a cashier of my acqu aintance. ‘ ‘This
sort of gum is heavily charged with
mint and is taken in preference to
cloves and other stuff. Some think
it aids digestion. A good many take
it along for their girls, they say.
But, bless you, I don’t know. I only
know from day to day wo average a
box or so of gum sold to men who
come from the bar and lunch coun
ter.”—New York Herald.
CURES
The Cause of Red Hair.
Science explaint the phenomenon
of red hair thus: It is caused by a
superabundance of iron in the blood.
This it is that imparts the vigor, the
elasticity, the great vitality, the
overflowing and thoroughly healthy
animal life that runs riot through
the veins of the ruddy haired, and
this strong, sentient animal life is
what renders them more intense in
all their emotions than their more
languid fellow creatures.
The excess of iron is also the cause
of freckles on the peculiarly clear,
white skin which always accompa
nies red hair. The skin is abnor
mally sensitive to the action of the
sun’s rays, which not only bring out
the little brown spots in abundance,
but also-bum like a mustard plaster,
producing a queer, creepy sensation,
as if the skin was wrinkling up.-
American Analyst.
Can Plant! See?
Darwin gave it as his opinion that
some plants can see, and an Indian
botanist relates some curious inci
dents which tend to verify the belief.
Observing one morning that the ten
drils of a convolvulus on his veranda
had decidedly leaned over toward his
leg as he lay in an attitude of repose,
he tried a series of experiments with
a long pole, placing it in such a posi
tion that the leaves would have to
turn away from the light in order to
reach it. In every case he found that
the tendrils set themselves visibly to
ward the pole and in a few hours had
twined themselves closely around it.
London Society.
Mrs. Lynn Linton is not altogether
without hope for that much abused
institution, London society, for she
writes in a current magazine article
that, though “snobs and tuft hunters
have elbowed and corkscrewed Iheir
way into high places and million
aires without h’s are accepted as
equals by the blue blooded and high
nosed, even now we have the self
respecting remnant, and the rem
nant will have none of these things
and bow neither head nor knee to
