Eaw to PAY The State Debt.

The Code of Virginia imposes a fine
of not less than two dollars upon every
person who may be convicted Of pro
fame swearing. The sanitary law was
enforced in two cases Saturday by POI
ice Justice White. If every policeman
and constable in she state would but use
ordinary vigilance, and report every vi
olation of the law aforesaid, it is mans
fest that in the course of a year or two
sufficient sum would be realized to pay
off the State debt. There is nothing
more disgusting than habitual profani-
ty, and whether the State debt be paid
OF not we hope that the police Of Rich
mond will make it point to report ov>
cry man, high or low, who gives UTTER
ance to obscene or bjasphemous oaths
in public places. -Richmond Wig.

H.w TO SAVE THE DROWNING.

y The following directions for saving
the lives of persons rescued from the
water are published at the request Of
the Massachusetts Humane Society:
|. Lose no time. Garry out these
directions on Tie spot
II. Rerlpve the froth and mucus
from. The mouth and nostrils,
III Hold the body, for few sec
onds out, with the bead hanging down.
SO that the water may run out of the
lungs and windpipe.
". Loosen all tight articles of cloth
ING about the neck and chest.
V. See that the tongue is pulled
forward if it falls back into the throat.
BY taking hold of it with hanker'
chief it will not slip.
VI. If the breathing has ceased, or
nearly so, it must be stimulated by
pressure Of the chest with the hands,
in imitation of the natural breathing;
forcibly expelling the air from the
lungs, and allowing it to re>entcr and
expand them by the elasticity OF the
ribs. Remember, that this is the most
important step Of all.
To do it readily, lay the person on
his back, with a cushion, pillow or some
firm substance under his shoulders;then
press with the fiat of the hands over the
lower part of the breastsbone and the
upper part of the abdomen, keeping up
regular repetition and relaxation OF
pressure of twenty or thirty times 9
minute. A pressure of thirty pounds
may be applied with safety to grown
person.
VII Rub the limb with the hands OF
with dry cloths constantly, to aid the
circulation and keep the body warm.
TX. Work deliberately. DO not give
up too quickly. Success has rewarded
the efforts of hours.

ADVICE FOR THE Dull TINES ADJ
yertlsing is a great bother. 1t only
brings lot of folks to your place of
business. If they want you let them
hunt you up. Then If you get your
name IN the papers you will be bored
to death with drummers, and people
from the country will call on you, aud
you will have to show them goods, and
likely enough you will have to do up
bundles for them which will exhaust
your stock SO much that you will have
to buy more goods, which is a great
trouble. Ifyou advertise, too, it gives
your place a reputation abroad; folks
will go there and crowd you, and make
it too lively. If you don't want to do
anything keep as still as you can. -

The Crown of Jewels of France.

The correspondent of the London Daily

jewels of France have returned to us. At
the turn of the war they were secretly des-
patched to England, and only last week
was it judged safe to recall them. In num-
Der, according to the inventory made for
Louis XVIII, they We're already 64,812,
weighing Is, 751 carats, of e737, 900 value.
since that time precious stones have risen
enormously in price, and the late Emperor
added to his treasures. The crown of
France, in which is set the Regent dia-
mond, and $500 other jewels, was valued
at $500 half a century ago. The other
famous diamond, the 'Sancy, is set in the
first Emperor's sword, a knick- -knack priced
at ef1,000 A pgaque in brilliants of the
Order Of the Holy Ghost is calculated at
e16,000. The crown jewels Ct France were
stolen on August is, 1892, by band of
forty thieves, who climbed the lamp post
and broke through the window of the gem
house. A poor wretch was guillotined for
this offense, whereof he was perfectly inno-
cent; but one guiltless head made small
difference in 1762.''
