The true plan 10 follow, when safety
is the call, is 10 swim with everything
below the chin we'll down under water,
the head we'll back and resting central
ly on the floating power OF the lungs.

rade is tired ont and drowning? That
depends. II he is cool and reliable.
get in front OF him, let him place his
hands ON your hips mot your should
ers), and you can carry him quite dis
tance. That supposes that both par.
ties, rescued aud rescuer, understand
fair play. The weaker party ID the one
that ought to drown, il he shows any
disposition to drown his friend by n
miserable, cowardly death-clutoh at
the only floating thing around him. In
the case OF the death-clutch, go to the
bottom with your man and leave him
there. There may be an unpleasant
wrestle, but the real drowning man Is
ready to quit his prey when he strikes
bottom. The better man has his right
10 come to the surface and swim ashore.
But in a considerable swimming ex-
perience. and some rescues. there comes
one absolute rule: Never face n drown
ing man. He welcomes rescue 80
eagerly that he will hug you around
tho neck aud take you down. The sa-
fest and best thing TO do is to get be-
hind him, and, unless you are left
handed, put your left hand under his
right arm-pit. The lift you give him
viii be enough in ordinary water. He
can he coaxsd 10 help himself, and il
he is n reasonable being you can bring
him 20 shore. IL he is insane with
fright, recollect that you are to be both
prudent and heroic. Get away from
him, clutch his ankle with one hand
aud tow him ashore. II the bank is
near, he is not likely TO drown on the
way. II he does, il is not your fault.
But brave swimmer Is master Of his
element. -

Teaslsg Oss ssrIPs.

We have Just been reading how an
old lady economical. She tore strips
from each breadth In her dress. and
then sewed these strips together for an
apron. We are quite likely 10 smile at
the above anecdote; vet how often do
we, In q measure, initiate her policy?
When one buys expensive farming
implements and allows them To lie
about the fields uncared for, his ''sel-
wage" is wasted. A farmer who scrimps
his stock to save feed. is only "tearing
of strips" to very little purpose.
Many farmers leave strip OF "sel-
wage" all along their fences, thus re-
ducing their cultivated fields. These
strips are very obnoxious to the sight,
and they have not the merit Of even
making an apron.
The clergyman who rehearses his old
sermons because he ia too indolent to
write new ones, will be likely to wear
out his apron in moving about. The
merchant who gives short measure, or
the grocer who gives light weight.
thinking to save enough to buy. an
apron, will most likely find themselves
mistaken.
A person who accepts an important
position in an agricultural or fruit or
gapization, or any business tirm, and
then by neglecting his duties causes
its disorganization, is only good at
tearing of. He Is not able to again
unite its ''strips;" destruction is his
only forte. We have known people to
stretch shingles, and while saving two
or three courses spoil the roof, which
is worse economy than the old lady
practiced.
Persons who use q cook-stove for
heating purposes i'm order TO save ruin
ing one Intended for heating purposes,
are consuming their "selvage" without
knowing IL, perhaps. ..
The family that goes without meat
for weeks mt a time. and then invites
the church people in TO eat up their
savings, are tearing of strips that their
children actually need, and are furnish
ing aprons forthose who are usually
able 10 buy better ones. Parents who
send their children to school, paying
perhaps literally for their tuition, and
then fail to furnish suitable books for
them, will have very stripped apron,
il any.
I Persons who buy cheap cloth for gar
ments of any kind, which cost as much
for trimming and making as would that
OF better quality, have no reason to
boast over the old lady.
People who are sour and churiish at
home, keeping all their smiles and mods
for the public, will have. as they de-
serve, very shabby aprons.
And finally, the man who, TO reduce
expenses, will cut of his newspaper,
running perhaps half mile to borrow
| his neighbor's, is also in the selvage
business. -GGermantown Telegraph.
