How to Treat the Drowned.

The utility of the methods recently adopted
by the Metropolitan Board of Health for the
resuscitation Of the drowned was tested few
days ago in very practical way. Antonio
Buch, Spanish seaman, living at No. % Mon
roe street, New York, attempted to commit
suicide while partly intoxicated. On Tuesday,
about p. NJ, he threw himself into the river
at the Bridge street ferry. The act was seen by
the policeman on duty at that place, and the
apparatus for the rescue of drowning persons
was Immediately brought into use.
The man resolutely refused to catch at the
ropes that were thrown to him, and was rapidly
carried out into the stream by the ebbing tide.
Into the water and with much difficulty sue
ceeded in bringing the man to shore. The
officer was almost exhausted; the seaman ap-
parently altogether lifeless.
Some policemen who had been drilled In Syl-
westerns method of resusctation by the officers
OF the Board of Health took charge of the body
and Immediately began to apply the rules re-
hour of persistent effort the drowned man
began to breathe, and was finally fully restored
This is the first opportunity that has presented
itself for practically testing the value OF the
rules adopted by the Board of Health, and It's
result is alike gratifying TO those who secured
police as to those by whom they were so sue
Cessfully applied.
One of the police captains has offered re-
ward OF fifty dollars for the first life similarly
restored in his precinct. He ought to insist,
however that the rescued person shall have
fallen overheard by accident When man re-
fuses to catch rope thrown him in the water,
police should not be allowed to risk their own
valuable lives to save his Probably the wlsest
course to pursue towards the Spanish sailor
would have beento let him drown.

Vegetable Hair.

Under the title of Vegetable HAIR" NJ. Wer-
ner Siauten, of Paris, announces new inVen-
ton. 1t consists in the manufacture of a species
of vegetable hair from the forous material
which grows Though aud proceeds from the
bark situated near the foot of the palm known
as the Levistonia chinensis, RoXb., or Latania
chinensis, Jacq. Tue fibrous material and ad
herent bark, as imported iu the rough state,
being first dlsintegTated by an opening machine,
IS boiled in an alkaline lye, composed of froM
five pounds TO ten pounds of soda, or potash,
dissolved IN one hundred gallons of water.
This operation, which occupies from half an
hour to two hours, according TO the strength of
the I've is continued until the gummy resinous,
and ligneous matters adherng to the fbres are
completely removed. The material thus
cleansed is exposed 10 the action of a mordant
preparatory to its removal to the dyeing vat
charged with the required color, TO which
is added from one pound to four pounds of
oil soap for every one hundred pounds weight
of fibre.
The dyeing process bsing completed, the mass
is dried either in the open air or artiicially,
and is afterwards submitted to the action of
ordinary opening and combng machinery, by
which the 6laments are glazed and divided to
the required degree of hneness. The tibrous
material thus obtained is to be applied to the
different purposes for which hOrsehair, bristles
and other kinds of hair have hitherto been
employed as articles of commerce. When IN

The German IsX0n.,2

To the Editors of the Evening Post:-Since l
first delivered my lecture uDon Won Bismark,
the Prussian MinisterPresident, in the LeXing
ton Avenue Presbyterian Church last winter,
the question has frequently been asked me what
the word won" signi6ed, and why it was so
often attached to German names.
The word 'yon," abbreviated V. Git should
always be written in small letters), like the
French "de" when found preceding a name,
designates nobility, though not invariably so,
as for instance, when followed by the word
"der," e. 9. Won der Brucke, Won der Cammer.
In this respect 1t bears strict analogy to the
French "de," which does not er necessitate de-
signate nobility, being at times an genealogical
part OF a name; as, tor example, in the case of
the Domremi peasant.girl Jeanne Dare, errone-
oHsly written DArc. l think 1t will be found
that the origin of the use of these words dates
back to about the twelfth century. Up to that
period sire or surnames-a. e., family names
had not come into use, as among the ancient
Greeks and Romans; hence arose an absolute
necessity OF adding another name in order to
distinguish the innumerable Williams, Roberts,
and Henrys from each other.
To this end, trades or callings, individual
peculiarities or birthpaces, were joined TO the
Christian names, as Henry Smith, !. 2. Henry
the smith, Wilhelm Langbein, 1. E. William the
loDg-legged, Carl Rothkopf I. G. Charles the
red-headed, etc.; but the ''Yonn or 'de" without
doubt first came into requistion when the
name of the birthplace was made use of as an
adjunct of distiD Dction, e. q. De Courcees,
DEcremmeville, Won Oldershausen, Won Manns,
berg, etc.
Probably this brief explanation of little word
now so often met with in the columns of our
newspapers may not prove uninteres ing to the
readers of the Ecenimg Post.

things might be mentioned Wood planting In
this treeless country would pay largely, aud ten
years give growth that other climates and soils
would not give in twenty years; for all winter
long the growth keeps on with little interrup
tion. The dairy farm paws at once and hand
somely. We still import butter aud cheese.
Farm hands and miners would find steady work
at large wages in gold. Miners getthree dollars

''ln conclusion, California is especially recon-
mended TO persons whose health demands a
genial atmosphere. Drink no spirits, but do
mestic wine in moderation. Eat sparipgly OF
meat, take your coffee weak and avoid specula-
entirely leathered, and lungs not over half con.
sumed, and choose from avarlously distributed
climate the locality best adapted TO your com

The Trades Of Animals

The following observations, which we copy
UeT6dtinl from an "Old Curiosity Shop" have
reference to animals and exhibit their at least
apparent knowledge OF the sciences; also their
professions, occupations, and enjoyments:-
Bees are geometricians; their cells are so con-
structed as, with the least quantity of material,
to have the largestsized spaces aud the least
possible loss of interstice. So, also, is the ant
in its conform ation as if it had been made by
the most skillful artists of our species, with
the aid of the best instruments. The mole Is a
meteorologst The bird called the killer
is an arithmetician; so, also, is the crow, the
wild turkey, and some other birds. The
torpedo, the ray, and the electric eel are
electricians.
The nautilus is navigator; he raises and
lowers his sail, casts and weighs his anchor,
ard performs other nautical evolutions. Whole
tribes of birds are musicians. The beaver is au
architect, builder, and woodcutter; he cuts
down trees and erects houses and dams. The
marmot is civil engineer; he not only builds
houses, but constructs aqueducts and drains to
keep them dry. The white ants maintain a
regular army Of soldiers. The East India ants
are horticulturists; they make mushrooms, upon
which they feed their young. Wasps are paper
manufacturers. Caterpillars are silk spinuers.
The bird ploceus teXtor is weaver; he weaves
a web TO make his nest. The primia is a tailor
The squirrel is ferryman; with chip or piece
of bark for boat and his tail for a sail, he
crosses stream. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and
many others, are hunters. The black bear and
day.laborers. The monkey is rope.dancer.
The association of beavers presents us with q
model of republicanism. The bees live under a
monarchy. The Indian antelopes furnish an
example of patriarchal government. Elephants
exhibit al aTistocracy of elders. Wild horses
are said to select their leader. Sheep, in wild
state are under the control of a military chief
ram.- Once-a- Week.
