Life RpScup.

The true plan to follow, when safety is
the call, il TO swim with everything be-
low the chin well down under water, the
head we'll back and resting centrally on
the floating power of the lungs. But
what will you do when your comrade is
tired out and drowning? That depends.
II he is cool and reliable, get in front of
him, let him place his hands on your
hips (not your shouldcrs), and you can
carry him quite distance. That cup
poses that both parties, rescued and
rescuer, understand fair play. The
weaker party is the one that ought to
drown, II he shows any disposition to
drown his friend bya miserable. cowardly
death.cutch at the only floating thing
around him. In the case If the death
clutch, go to the bottom with your man
and leave him there. There may be an
unpleasant wrestle, but the real drown
ing man is ready to quit his prey when
he strikes bottom. The better man has
his right to come to the surface and swim
ashore.
But in a considerable swimming ex-
perience, and some rescues, there comes
one absolute rule: Never face drown
ing man. He welcomes rescue so eagerly
that he will hug you around the neck
and take you down. The safest and best
thing to do is to get behind him, and,
unless you are left handed, put your left
hand under his right arm-pit. The lift
YOU give him will be enough in ordinary
water. lie can be coaxed to belp him
self, and il he is reasonable being you
can bring him to shore. If 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 and tow him ashore. II the bank
is near, he is not likely to drown on the
way. If he does, it is not your fault.
But brave swimmer is master of his
element.
once saw two young fellows rescue n
drowning comrade in way that was
remarkable for its peatness. The poor
fellow was in mid-stream, cramped and
exhausted, and barely able to keep
anoat. Which was first was never de-
cided, but in a critical moment each was
behind him, each with hand under an
arm-pit he was almost dead weight
on their hands, and they swan him to
shore, more dead than alive. 1t was a
struggle, but they were masters of the
situation. st. Nicholas for July.

FARM AND PRESIDE.
Go~A Ssock Va scru he.

Do our stockmen and farmers appre-
ciate the difference between good steer
or cow aud a poor oneg Do they know
how much more good large DRAFT horse
brings than little, inferior animal, bred
from a small worthless trotter, 40 called I;
OF good well-bred hog or sheep more
than a "prairie" rooter or a Mexican
mongrelf II they do not, Just let them
make inquiries OF those who raise and sell
the improved breeds. We know the
good stock brings 100 per cent more than
the scrub, and mt their enhanced value
they are more profitable to feed or to
Craze than the poorer kinds. II is
a waste of capital for farmer TO breed
anything but good stock, whatever
argument may be advanced in favor of
the Texan COW upon the plains. 1t is as
easy to raise 500 pound steer at four
years old, II good bulls and cows are used
TO breed from, as TO raise a nine hun
dred pound Texan, and the price
obtained for the full breed one is nearly
twice rs much as the scrub fetches
As to horses, it is almost Impossible
TO sell little, trifiDg horse, only for a
COW pony, but the large draft horse
always sells at good figures. A Berk-
shire or Poland China hog will make
nearly double the pounds Of meat from
n given amount Of food as the poor, i'll
bred hog, and the meat is better. A
Merlno eve will produce from eight to
ten pounds of good merchantable wool;
the Mexican and specimens brought from
Missouri and Arkansas to the state will
not show over three pounds of hair and
wool that sell only for carpet woods.
Why our farmers will waste their
money, feed and grass on such kinds OF
stock is mystery, when they can do so
much better but we are young and
have time to improve, and judging from
the number of enterprising stock men
who are purchasing good bulls and
rams, the day is not far distant when
Colorado will do far better than she is
doing now. We hope to see before an
other year the stock Of hogs in our state
quadrupled, and before five years enough
pork made in our state 10 supply the
home demand Colorado Er.

Imported Meat.

striking commentary on the history
OF American exports in fresh meat is
contained in the return just issued as a
parliamentary paper. In its eight
pages are comprised number of facts
which butchers as well a. housekeepers
will do well TO ponder over with care.
The most notable of them all is perhaps
an account of the actual weight OF meat
imported from the states during the
year 1876. Statictics of each month are
given, by which it appears that in both
January and February almest exactly
1900 cwt. of "beef, fresh or slightly
salted," were brought over from the
states to British ports. In May, not
withstanding the higher temperature,
the total was 5000 cwt., and although in
the next month it sank to 5000, it
recovered instantly, mounted to 1875
in June, and from that time forward
advanced at tremendous rate until it
attained a maximum for the year in
November when above 36, 600 cwt.. were
imported the value of the meat increased
at the same time from G5,344 in January
to nearly f99,000 in November, when
the whole imports from other countries
were valued at less than $4,000. In
these statistics it is true that the
absolutely fresh meat imported by the
new process can not be distinguished
from some of the salted meat. Bat the
advance has been, no doubt, almost
entirely in the former description, and
the revolution in the butchers trade
which must have been affected is ap-
parent at glance. The increase in
timed meats, described in the return as
"meats preserved otherwise than by
salting," is almost as conspicuous. They
are estimated at a little over 5000 for
January, and at 23,577 in December,
the value having within this period
advanced from 60, ,492 to eS3,427. The
growth in the importations of mutton is
not by any means so notable in fact, it
is hardly appreciable in the account,
although in the present year it is well
known that America has begun,to extend
the system to mutton as well as beef.
The key to the whole story is to be
found partly in the new process which
has led to these astonishing results and
also in the tables which show that the
average price of beef during the whole
year is sd. a pound in New York and
about a farthing less in Philadelphia
This compares with averages of about

The medical fraternity Of Detroit are
puzzled upon hearing the sequel to the
awful affair ut the. house of correction.
1t will be remembered that it was re.
ported that one James Donnelly cut his
throat twice and stabbed himself in the
left breast three times that the prison
physician attended TO the wounds and
three minutes after they were inflicted
saw no signs OF lie. Coroner Wilson,
who was visiting the house of correction
at the time, held an inquest, and YER
dict was returned in accordance with the
apparent facts in the case. The singular
part of the affair is that the inquested
suicide is still alive, and although there
seems to be no chance of his ultimate
recovery, he was able yesterday after.
noon to talk in weak and disconnected
manner. The physician yesterday in an
interview pronounced the case one Of
the most remarkable that ever came
under his notice. When the would-be
suicide fell TO the floor the blood spurted
from the gashes in his breast, and at each
Iaborcd respiration the air could be seen
ts enter and pass out Of the gaping
wounds. Exactly three minutes after
the fall his jaw dropped, the wound be
came apparently exsanguinated, the lips
turned a gbastly blue and no pulse was
perceptibIe. The body was removed
from the chair shop to tic stretcher, and
two prisoners were detailed to sit through
the night with the body. Shortly after
seven o'clock, over three hours after the
man was thought TO be dead, the watchers
were startled by slight gurgle in the
throat Of the (?) man, and soon after the
eyes opened. The deputy superinten.
dent was Immediately sent for, and
when he arrived the wounded man made
a feeble motion with his lips as though
desirous to talking. Of course restora,
tive and cooling bandages were at once
applied TO the wounds, and soon the
three-hours dead man spoke the deputy
superintendent name. At this the
deputy remarked: al see you're bound
to live" at which the restored man re-
sponded, You bet your sweet lite !"
There is no doubt that the unfortunate
man is insane. He SAYS that his right
name is john Donner and that all of his
relatives live or did live eight years ago
at Drogheda, Ireland. An idea of the
extent 'of his wounds may be gained
when it is stated that twenty-five
stitches were required to close the two
gashes in his throat, while nine stitches
sufiiced to shut the three gashes in hi
lett breast.

The Yield OF n Siuglc Ear.

A farmer in Ohio has recently made an
experiment which suggests an idea. He
had procured an car OF very fine yellow
corn, and wishing to procure seed from
it, planted it in good soil, having first
ascertaiued that there were about five
hundred grains on the cob. The corn
produced from these five hundred kern
els measured nearly nine bushels, or
about nine hundred ears from one. The
seed 40 obtained was Is good as the speci.
mems planted. If farmers in this state
would strive to obtain improved seed
and improved seed does not necessarily
mean new varieties--they would make
money by the operation. The truth is
that little or no attention is paid to saw
ing seed. When wheat is to be sown the
farmer goes to the store and buys his seed
wheat, not knowing where it comes from,
ignorant, perhaps, that one sack of good
wheat may be mixed with two sacks of
bad, aid ignorant or careless of where il
comes from. BY such carlessness the
field is often seeded with thistles or

The Paper.Makipg Cactus,

The deserts of California produce
many interesting speciments of the cactus
family, among which is the odct. gigqn-
teus. Some time ago il was but little
known, and by all considered perfectly
worthless. Judge G.. w. Walker two
years ago in Philadelphia, found that the
properties of the plant, which is one mass
of fibres, adapted it well for paper-mak-
ing, and that it requires much less
chemicals than any other substance, and
that it is different and distinguishable
from anything so far known, and that the
percentage of actual fibre was much
larger and the cost Of production much
less. He shipped on whole carload of
this plant from the Pacific statos, and
converted il into beautiful white paper
at the Ledger mills. The raw fibre
bleaches into pulp as white as snow, and
resembl ng cotton as to texture.
The judge secured very valuable pa
tents on the material as an improved
paper stock, and within the past year
built very substantial mill on the
Southern Pacific railroad, at cost OF
thirty thousand dollars This road cuts
through this section for several miles,
and is run by switch direct to the mill.
To make paper the material is first carved
intoss blocks, then pressed down shute
TO a shedding machine, boiled in i'm
mense watts and beaten up into pulp in
ray engines. 1t was afsaward treated in
the usual way. Hitherto California has
imported nearly all of its paper from the
east, buk all this will soon be at an end.
