To Prerem Drowning.-At this season of the

When man falls into deep water, he will rise
to the surface, and continue there if he does
not elevate his hands. If he moves his hands
under water in any manner he peases, his head
will rise so high US to allow him liberty to
breathe, and if he moves his legs as in the act
of walking up stairs, his shoulders will rise a.
bove the water, so that he may use less exer-
tions with his hands, or apply them to other
purposes. Persons not having learned to swim
in thesry youth will find the above plain direc-
tons highly advantageous.-London Paper.
