IMPORTANT RULES.

II is a remarkable fact that more deaths
by drowning have taken place during the
past year than any proceeding one. In view
of this few rules for restoring animation to
bodies taken from the water will not come a
miss and they may be the means of saving
more than one life. Death usually ensues
after the body has been under water from
two TO ten minutes but every restoration
should be made, though the submersion has
teen much longer than this. The scientific
plan now usually adopted TO restore mani
mate persons is as follows: ir--.-sf
Treat the patient Instantly, on the spot, in
the open air. freely exposing the face, and
neck and chest to the breeze, except in very
severe weather. - .''.--r.,.l ;
Send at once for medicine, and send for
articles of clothing, blankets, DC. D.
To Clear the TnroG. G.-Turn the patient
gently on the face, with one wrist under the
forehead; all fluids and the tongue itself
than fall forward and thus leave the entrance
to the windpipe free.-
To Excite Observation-Disclosures the pa
tient on his face.
Turn the body gently, but completely on
the side and little beyond, and then on the
face, alternately, repeating these measures
deliberately, efficiently and perseveringly,
fifteen times in the minute only. tTfiis
movement produces the physical effects of
respiration.)
When the prone position is resumed, make
equable but efficient pressure along the
spine, removing it Immediately before the
rotation on the side. i..f
70 Induce Circulation and Warmth.
tinuing these measures, rub the limbs up
ward, with a firm pressure, using haudker-
chiefs, etc. -,
b Replace the patients wet clothing by such
other covering as be instantly procured,
each bystander supplying what he can.
Meanwhile, and from time TO time, attend to
the fifth rule. .r
10 Excite baspirdtiOn.-Le the surface of
the body be slapped briskly with the hand,
or, ....
Let cold water be dashed briskly on the
surface, previously rubbed dry and warm

PUTTING Ur SWEET CoRs.-The time will
soon be here when S,oeet corn will be ready
toput up for winter use, and few points in
regard TO curing the article will not be out
of place: 9.t ~ 81 aU
Get your corn when the grains are in
prime order for the table-when the corn is
tenderest, and the juices are sweetest. Boil
the ears: few minutes (not about fve)-
three is better than five. Then cut and lay
away TO dry. A fruit dryer is best; oven,
moderately warm will answer very well or
take any method that will soonest dry your
corn, be always careful not to burn it and
do not lay in Jumps, or too thick together
when drying, or it will soon mould Around
a stove, or where there is a fire, is a good
place, always avoiding dampness, steam,
ETC., put in sacks, and hang it away in dry
place, and your corn is fit for next winters
use. In using, You are to restore as near as
possible to IFS original state. This is best
done by first washing it to get out dust and
husk, and then thoroughly soaking in water,
the water retained to boil it in.
