Artificial Respiration.

The Medical Press and Circular, 1880,
informs us that in recent communiea-
ton to the French Academy, Professor
Fort raises again the question of pre-
mature interments. One fact he men
tions is, that he was enabled to restore
to life child three years old, by prac-
ticing artificial respiration on it four
hours, commencing three hours and a
half after apparent death. Another case
was communicated to him by DR.. Four
mol, of Billancourt, who, in July, 1878,
terminated nearly drowned person
after four hours of artificial respiration.
This person had been in the water ten
minutes, and the doctor arrived one
hour after asphyxia. Professor Fort in
sists also on the utility of artificial
respiration IN cases of poisoning, in
order to eliminate the poisons from the
lungs and glands. The length of time
it is desirable to practice artificial
respiration in any case of apparent death
from asphyxia, Professor Fort has not
yet determined, but his general conclu-
sion is that it should be maintained
perseveringly for several hours.

HOmely Accomplishments.

There are few of the accomplish
ments priced by our grandmothers
which even in these days of machinery.
of cooperation and of luxurious LIVING
we cannot afford to have @assed with
the lost arts. Among these is the art
of plain sewing. In the olden times
the sampler and patch work made girl
ish fingers early acquainted with the
use of the needle, and though no one
| can care to see those particular indus
tries revived, yet there are few women
who do not find sooner or later that in
their lives 'sthe needle bears equality
with the beautiful craft of the pencil
and the mighty power of the pen"
Whether 1t is cheaper or not to buy
ready made mderclothing is not the
question. The point insisted on is that
every woman should know how to make
her own clothing neatly, skillfully and
readily. She may add to this knowledge
that of embroidery and lace making.
just as she may add to practical
knowledge of bread making that of
making cake and desserts There is
great tendency nowadays to the acquisi-
tion Of accomplishment comparatively
useless and the neglect of those of which
are of first consequence. The little girl
may begin her apprenticeship to the
needle by making doll clothes, and as
patterns for all manner of liliputian gar
ments are for sale in pattern stores, she
can learn to cut out and put together
at the same time. OF course she must
have instruction, direction, assistance;

and by the Juvenile seamstress may be
promoted and permitted to exercise her
skill on larger garments, and later be
taught machine sewing. But before
this she should master all the mysteries
of lover and over'' stitch, of hem
ming, telling, overcasting, cat-stitch,
back-stitch, gathering and facing down
Little folks always want to do what they
can do, and promise of permission
to undertake difficult task will often
stimulate a child to do well that which
is entirely within his power. Then he
should be permitted to enter upon larger
undertakings.
A letter from Dakota received this
week contains this paragraph: 1--WE
are Oh pTdirle IarIn III new settle
ment, where most of the farms are held
by young men who club together and
cook, wash and even mend for them
selves" Which suggests naturally the
remark that boys no less than girls may
find knowledge of how to use the
needle skillfully eminently useful. In
the Worcester (Mass.) school where
sewing has been introduced, several of
the most proficient artisans were seam
sters. And they turn their skill to good
account By closing up the rents and
noles in their own worn garments.
Mending is another accomplishment
possessed by very few young ladies.

A WOman's Romantic History.

At Westville, in the township of Hemp
stead, live venerable and WORTHY
couple named Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Mott
The early history of the wife is particu
larly romantic and interesting. In 1907,
when she was three years old, she was
found on the marsh at Barren Island
with piece of fat pork in one hand
and a sea-biscuit in the other, by an
old gentleman who happened to be fish
ing there. She was taken to the house
| OF Nicholas Dooley-the only one on the
island at that time-and Mrs. Dooley
decided to adopt her and bring her up.
She was named Julia Ann. She remem-
bers when Gibbs, the pirate, was on Bar
ren Island and was supposed to have
buried his ill-gotten gains there. He
stopped at Mr.. Dooley's house the NIGHT
before he and Wansley were captured
on Plum Point. Gibbs afterward con-
fessed that it was his intention to mur-
der the family had not Mr.. Dooley re-
manned awake all night with a loaded
gun within reach.
In 1919, when she was only fifteen
years old, Mrs. Dooley's adopted daueh-
ter married Henry Mott, of Rockaway.
Shortly after the marriage, Mrs.
Rachel Coles called at the house, and.
on seeing Mrs. Mott, at once exclaimed
that she knew a woman who must be
her mother, the resemblance was so
strong. Mrs. Coles informed her friend
that she believed she had seen her long,
lost daughter. The mother hastened
to Westville, where the couple then re-
sided, and Immediately recognized her
daughter-the identity being estab-
lished by mark resembling half
moon on one knee and hole in one
ear. The meeting was a very affec-
tionate one, and there was quite sem
sation in Westville (then called North
west Point) for few days. Mrs. Mott
found that she was the daughter of
John and Henrietta Harvey, of New
York City, a well-known family, the
Boston banker Peter Harvey, being her
uncle. Her name was Henrietta, after
her mother. but she had always been
known as Julia Ann. Her father lived
IN Cortlandt Street, which was then the
edge of a marsh. 1t seems that a
Swedish sailor, who boarded near bv.
had difficulty with Mrs. Harney and
swore to have revenge. He stole the
child when the mother was at church
and was never seen again in the neigh
borhood. Search was made in everv
direction, but without success. Mr..
and Mrs. Dooley died some years ago,
but their old house still stands on Bar
rem Island. Mr. and Mrs. Mott have
had thirteen children, all daught ers,
and all, like their mother, of proposes
sing personal appearance. The old
couple have also a great many grand
children and great-grandchildren liv-
ing.-N. Y SIN.

The Unit Rule.

What's this unit rule the politicians
talk about?' asked Jones of Colonel
Scion yesterday. ''It's this way," said
the Colonel. IF you approve of the
unit rule, you vote to have every man
vote the same way every time. It's
mighty convenient, as you'll see if you
ever get on delegation. l was on one
wunst an we had the unit rule resou-
ton solid. SO when / sez, L vote the

all had to vote the same way, an no

they would nuther if the rule hadn't
been in force. But it makes it more
solid, yer see, an yer chairman can
have the hull sum put down on the
slate eastern he could if we war all
divided an was takin' drinks with every
other candidate. Sides, yer see, one
candidate can't come in an ask Jest one

An Unexpected Response.

Preachers in the frontier settlements
have had often ludicrous experiences.
They must hold the attention of a con-
gregation in spite of crying babies and
keep their own gravity in circum.tan-
ces both awkward and ridiculous. Oc-
casionally the strain is too great and
they surrender to the situation. An
eloquent Episcopal clergyman was io-
ANONYMOUSLY driven from the pulpit bv
donkey. He was a favorite preacher
with the frontier families, for he de-
pended little on manuscript and used
familiar phrases and illustrations which
interested them in his sermons. In en-
forcing the lesson of a sermon he was
earnest and practical and made direct
appeals to his hearers On one occa-
sion during the summer, he was preach
ing in crowded school-house. eThe
windows were open and cattle were
browsing on the shady side. Among
them Was a donkey, having drawn one
OF the families to the meeting, had been
turned loose to browse. The preacher
was ending his sermon with, "And
now, beloved, what think We of these
things?' At this juncture the donkey
put his head through the open window
and gave most unearthly bray. The
preachers self-possession wavered and
hands and handkerchiefs went up to
the faces of the congregation. The
silence grew oppressive; but the preach
er managed to add, "I say, my breth-
ren, what think you of these things?''
to which the donkey responded by
second hideous bray 1t was too much
for preacher and hearer. In minute
the sermon was ended, the congrega-
tion dismissed and the people gathered
in groups outside convulsed with laugh
ter.-Youth's Companion.

If we are to credit the New Orleans
Times matrimony is played out" in
that city. A fashionable young lady
who has been interviewed on the sub
ject says that the men who are not mar
ried are spoiled beyond all hope Of re-
demption. while many of those who are
married are SO angry with themselves
for having gone and done it that they
keep away from their homes as much
as possible. AS time goes on and q
period arrives when it might be sup
posed that the men would like to settle
down, it is found that they have lost all
taste for domestic life, and this is the
reason why New Orleans Is crowded
with old bachelor beaux. Society, In
short, is found to offer much greater at
fractions than home. This is . bad
