Curious THEORY OF BATHING ACCIDENTS.
"A naval officer writes to the London Stand.
ard as follows: Being in an outof-the-way
place, only saw your editorial remarks on
bathing accidents recently. l ask for space
in your paper to relate what happened to
myself some years back. The ship belonged
to was lying for u long time in Alden harbor.
Some of the men went to play cricket every
evening. To save the trouble of sending
large boat with them, we used to send our
clothes on shore in the Jolly boat, and the
greater portion of the men would jump over
board and swim TO the shore. OF course we
used to race to reach tho shore first one
evening while SO doing l had tug to win,
and got very much out of breath and began
breathing through my mouth. A puff of
wind came from the hills and raised ripple,
little globulcs of water flying along the sur
face. Breathing hard, l sucked globule
into my throat and Immediately had the suf-
locating sensation that occurs when a glass of
water is said to go the wrong way"

and soon began to feel / was dying OH the
top Of the water. There must have been q
dozen men close to me, but could not speak,
much less call TO them. kept swimming
for the shore. In about thirty seconds my
senses began to leave me. / ceased swimming,
and my legs went down, when, luckily for
me, they touched the bottom violent jump
helped me to cough up the drop of water, |
staggered on shore and fell quite exhausted
on the beach, much TO the surprise of all the
men with me. A man taken with palptation
of the heart can stop swimming and call out,
unless he is struck with apoplexy bat man
with drop of water in his windpipe cannot
speak, but goes on swimming strongly till a
few seconds of his death. have paid much
attention to accounts of bathing accidents,
and have invariably found that, although the
body of a person supposed to be seized with
cramp is picked up in a minute or two after
ward, no recovery takes place. The remedy
or rather the prevention, of such a sudden
death is very easy--only breathing through
the nose while swimming, keeping the mouth
closed.

ALTAR OF ROSES. i'm the warm plains Of
Turkey, south of the Balkan Mountains,
whole districts are covered with rose plants,
set in lines nbout five feet apart, and tended
for some years with greatest care. At length,
on some fresh sweet morning Of early Sum
mer, and while tho roses are yet wet with
dew, the tender flowers are torn off by the
laborers aud cast at once by heaps into huge
coppers, there TO boil for hours in tile water.
The fragrant steam is carried along tube,
and on cooling becomes kind OF thick rose
water. This is boiled up again, aud its yapor
cooled into liquid, on the top of which floats
a yellowish, oily scum that is known as ''attar
Of roses" 1t takes about four thousand
pounds of roses to make one pound of altar.
Onco merchant opened cupboard in his
store, and showed visitor thirty large glass
bottles, in which, he said was sixty thousand
dollars worth of the precious essence. This
quantity must have taken nearly four million
pounds of roses in the making. But maybe,
after all, their fragrance in that form would
give more and longer lasting pleasure than
could have been given by the flowers, had
they been left upon their bushes, whore they
could have cheered only the passer by.

again that have had to listen to every day
during the past week. | can also hear tho

the same way that | have heard it praetieed
on every day during the past week. In tho

find her, as did last Sunday, with her kind,
tired face bent over the work basket, putting

hearted German lady, what boon our bless

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER /, IS
The President.

Since our last report of Monday
there has been slight but steady i'm.
provement in the Presidents condi-
ton. The anxiety Of the people has
given way to revived hope, which
is strengthened by the belief Of the
physicians that he will recover.
They reported on Wednesday that his
symptoms were very little changed.
Another incision was made in the
swelling upon the face on Tuesday
in consequence Of which the pulse
rose to 116. At another time it was
100. The rise was attributed to local
disturbances as it soon regained its
old condition. The physicians, it is
reported, expect, in the most favorable
event, no marked change in the di-
rection OF recovery before tomorrow
or Saturday.
