How to Prevent Drowning.

Mr.. Harry McCormac communicates to u
London scientific journal the results of
some careful Investigations as to the best
means of preventing drowning. AS the
season for seaside bathing is at hand, which
means for many the drowning season, Mr..
McCormac's study Of this subject is timely.
The great resource of anyone getting into
water beyond his depth who cannot swim
is to initiate the motions of dog and other
brutcs, which not even the household cat eX-
ccpted take to water on occasion and sus-
tain themselves perfectly well without any
prior experience whatever. "The brute in
the water" says this writer continues to
go on all fours, and the man who wishes to
save his life and cannot otherwise swim
must do so too, striking alternately one-two,
one-two, but without hurry or precipita-
ton" The great peril of persons unable to
swim and suddenly entering deep water, is
paralysis of muscular power from fright, and
Mr.. McCormac is not far from the truth
when he says: Nothing is less difficult,
whether for man or brute, than to tread
water, even for the first time" The mere
knowledge OF this fact might in some cases
inspire those wholly lacking in natatorial
experience with that confidence which is
one of the best safeguards against drowning
The rule to tread water when you find
yourself beyond your depth" and to "loat
when you are tired" is certainly simple
enough and practicable enough to be tried
in an emergency-N Y. Herald.

A steam Tug LibeIed.

schooner Annie NJ. Bray, yesterday after
noon filed libel in admiralty against the
steam tug George w. Pride, J. Il. Hilton
master and L. L. Petingale owner. The
ground of the libel is it is alleged, that in
December last the captain of the tug Pride
made Il contract to tow the schooner A. NJ.
Bray to Quantico through the ice, but that
the ice became so thick that the tug ADAM
doned the vessel, leaving some directions as
to the harbor to be made, and promised to
return that the directions were followed,
but the tug did not return, and that the ice
wrecked the vessel Twelve hundred dol
lars damage is claimed.

SAILING The Ocean I,Iuc.

Gen. Dumont, Supervising Inspcctor-Gen-
ernl. i'm conversation with THE CRITIC to-
,lay, in response to the inquiry AS to whether
his present careful and stringent enactmcnts
of the laws regulating steamboat travel, and
devised for the protection of passengers,
would lessen the receipts of summer cxcur-
sionists, said that he thought 1t would.
"The managers of these excursions have
been ovcrcrowding for years past" said the
General "and II is only the frequent disas-
tiers of the past year or two that have en-
abled me to exact strict enforcement of the
laws relative to this subject. The trouble
that have, and every officer preceding me
has experienced, is the petty opposition to
us by our sibordnates. They form into
cluucs and essay to bother us and iniure us
by non-attendancc to rules and orders. AS
il is now, however, my inspectors are fol-
lowing out the law to the letter, and strictly
compelling the steamboat companies to act
in accordance with it"
II see IL published" said THE CRITIC,
"thnt the inspectors are only to allow steam
boats on excursions TO carry about three
fourths of the number of passengers that
their capacity entities them tor"
THAT is Incorrect" replied the General
they are allowed to carry the total amount,
but no more There is one point of dstinc.
ton, however, that many people misunder-
stand, and which is now settled definitely
and enforced. Theoretically, steamers ofthe
same tonnage can carry the same amount OF
passengers; practically, they very often can
not. The theory was acquicsccd in; pro-
pose practical business and the inspector:
enforce it, Now, short, wide steamboat OF
four or five hundred tons will carry much
larger party than longer and narrower
vessel of the same tonnage. Hence 1t |:
that my men are to use their judgment ant
experience in practice when deciding Tho
number to be permitted aboard, and not t.
go by figures, or tonnage, or theory"
How about barges towcd by stcam-tugs?
"They are always safe when provided
with prcservcrs and yawls and the safes
and slowest of all characters of marin
vehicles. The only accidents that occu
on them arise from too much beer and con
sist of punched heads"
"Of course the stringent enforcement o
your rules will obviatc many disasters thi
summer
&c am confident that there will be fewc
disasters" said the chief, rs we left him
" this summer than any one preceding
The warnings of the past few years and tn
active lookout by the inspectors will pre-
vent them"

FORCE OF HABIT.

There was once horse that was used
to pull around sweep, which lifted dirt
from the depths of the earth. He was at
the business for nearly twenty years,
until he became old, blind, and too stiff
in the joints to be of further use. So he
was turned into pasture, or left to crop
without any one to disturb or bother
him.
But the funny thing about the old
horse was that every morning, after
grazing awhile he would start on tramp
going round and round in q circle, just
as he had been accustomed to do for so
many years. He would keep it up for
hours, and people often stopped to look
and wonder what had got into the head
of the venerable animal to make him
walk around in such solumn way,
when there was no earthly need of it.
But it was the force of habit. And the
boy who forms good or bad habits in his
youth, will be led by them when he be-
comes old, and will be miserable or hap
py accordingly.

in the Massachusetts Historical Society,

How Joe Was Cornered.

Professor Joe Logan of the Springfield
school was experimenting the usual ed
ucational business at the school-house
the other day and the geographical grind
was on. In the class to which Joe was
putting connundrums was an uncouth
boy recently from rural district, who,
while tolerably well posted, was not elo-
quent nor elegant in the matter of
answering questions, and Unanswered in
such slovenly and careless way that
Professor Logan became disgusted and
said:
:" That is not the way to answer a
question. Come up here and take my
seat. 1 will take yours. Then you will
ask me question, and will show you
how to answer it,"
All right" said the youth, and he
climbed into the professors chair, while
the latter took position in the class,
whereupon all the boys were tickled and
awaited with great anxiety, and anyone
present might have heard pin drop.
Mr.. Logan remarked the tempor-
ary professor as he put his feet on the
desk, "please stand up"
Logan did 80.
Mr.. Logan, L want you to name the
principal mountains in Central Amer
ica."
A confused expression came over Mr..
Logan's countenance. He shuffled
around uneasily, scratched his head and
admitted that, without reading up a
little on the subject, he would be unable
to answer the question.
"Well, then,'' said the boy, "come up
here and take my place and will show
you how to answer it,"
And again an exchange of places was
made, and the youth answered his own
question, since which time Mr.. Logan
has had high respect for him and he is
considered by the other boys as sort OF
adjunct professor.

A Sunday Test.

A Sabbath keeping people will become
a thoughtful people, and such thought
fulness is manliness. All men, and es-
pecially the busy millions in an advanc-
ed civilization like our own, need for the
minds sake, not less than for the sake
of wearied nerves and muscles, the sew
enth day intermission of their ordinary
work. A true Sabbath is something far
more restful than a day of noisy
jollity. In its calm air the mind rests by
thought, not thoughtlessness by quiet
musing, by conscious or unconscious
retrospection perhaps by consideration
of what might have been, perhaps by
thinking of what may yet be, perhaps
by aspiration and resolve toward some
thing in the future, that shall be better
than what has been in the past. The
home in which Sunday is day of rest
and home enjoyments is hallowed by the
Sabbaths which it hallows. In the
Sabbath keeping village life is less frivo-
slous, and ut the same time industry Is
more productive, for the weekly rest. A
Sabbath-keeping nation is greater in
peace and in war for the character which
its tranquil. and thoughtful Sabbaths
have impressed upon it. = Rev. DR.. Ba-
