which is all that ia necessary when il
is question oflife or death. The burn.
ing vessel was close to the shore. the va
ter was calm and warm, and al OF these
passengers might easily have jumped
overheard and padded laughing ashore,
if they had only possessed and used the
simple knowledge that one finger placed
upon stool, or chair, or small box,
or piece Of board, would easily keep
the head above water, while the two
feet and the other hand might be used
as paddles TO propel towards the shore.
II IS not at all necessary to know how
to swim to be able TO keep from drown
ing in this way. A little experience of
the buoyant power Of matter, and faith
Ia il, Is all that is required. We have
seen a small boy who could not swim a
stroke propel himself back and forth
across deep, wide pond by means of
a board that would not sustain FIVE
pounds weight. In fact, that sometime
small boy Is now writing this. Chill

10 the sestainIng power Of water. In
nine cases out often the knowledge that
what win sustain pound weight IS all
that is necessary to keep ones head
above water, will serve better in emer-
gency than the greatest expertness as
swimmer. A person unfamiliar with
the buoyant power of water will natu-
rally try to climb on top OF the floating
object on which he tries to save him
self. If it is large enough, that is all
right. But Il is generally not large
enough, and half of struggling group
Us often drowned in the desperate scram-
Bile Of life and-death struggle to climb
on top OF piece ofwreck or other float
ing object, not large enough to keep
them all entirely above the water. This
often happens when pleasure boats cap

except those whom the wrecked craft

simply trust the water to sustain nine-
ty-nine hundredths of the weight Of
their bodIes, and the disabled boat the
other hundredth, they might all be
saved, under most circumstances. An
overturned or water-tilled wooden boat
will sustain more people in this way
than il will carry. Il would keep the
heads above water OF as many people
as could get their hands on the gun
vale. These are simple facts, easily
learned and may some day save your
life.-Treaton N. J. Gazette.

His Royal Highness, the Prince of
Wales, went to see the "World" at the
Drury Lane lately, and seemed greatly
absorbed with the exciting incidents OF
the drama. The clever impersonation
of the "Jew," by Harry jackson, evi-
IDENTIFY struck the royal visitor, and
when Moses Jewell exclaimed, "Here
we are again, as the Queen says when
she opens Parliament, his Royal High
ness exploded with laughter, in which
the whole house joined. Evidently the
Prince is not thin-skinned on matters
concerning royalty. This incident re-
minds us that Sir Robert Peel was
among the audience at the ''Gaiety"
lately, and the portly Baronet greatly
enjoyed the acting of Mr.. Florence in
the Mighty Dollar" his cachinations
resounded through the house like the
sound of the oft-repeated clarion. Sir
Robert is what is termed "a splendid
audience" and when anything droll
touches him he laughs out Dong and
loud and strong.

For many years Moses, negro. was

'Give me the hand that will never
