ReScuscitati0n From Drowning.

The following rules for reScuScIta
ting an apparently drowned person
are those approved by the American
Medical Association, and have been
adopted by the United States Life
Saving Service.
Rule l. To drain off water from
the chest and stomach, instantly stri p
the patient to the waist. Place him
face downward, the pit of the stom-
ach being raised above the level of
the mduth by large, hard roll of
clothing placed underneathit Throw
your weight, forcibly three or four
times. for moment or two, upon the
patients back, place your hands be
tween and below the shoulder blades
on each side, so as to press all fluids
from the stomach out of the mouth.
Rule 2 To perform artificial
breathing. quickly turn the patient
upon his back, the roll Of clothing be-
ing so placed beneath as to make the
breastbone the highest point Of the
body. kneel beside or astride the pa
tents hips Grasp front part of the
chest on either side of the pit Of the
stomach, resting your finger along
the spaces between the short ribs.
Then brace your elbows against your
sides, and steadily grasping and
pressing forward and upward, throw
your whole weight upon the chest SO
grasped, gradually increasing the
pressure while you can count one
two-thrce; then suddenly let go with
final push, which springs you back
to your position. Rest erect upon
your knee while you can count one
two; then make pressure again rs
before, repeating the entire motions
at first about four or five times a min
ute, gradually rs in blowing bellows,
and as is seen in natural breathing,
which You are initiating. If another
person be present let him with one
hand by means of dry piece of lin
on, hold the tip Of the tongue out Of
one corner of the mouth and with the
other hand grasp both wrists and pin
them to the ground above the pa
tents head
Rule j. After treatment-Aftert the
patients breathing has become natur-
Il, dry briskly; or, if it can be accom-
plished without interfering with the
immediate efforts TO restore breath
ing, this may be done previously by
second assistant. Wrap the patient
in blankets only, and let him be kept
perfectly quiet Take the precaution
to provide free circulation OF air
within the room.
Additional suggestions: (D-Avoid
delay. A moment may turn the scale
for life. or for death. Dry ground,
shelter, stimulants, etc, at this mo-
ment are nothing, this is the one rem
edy: all other means are secondary
Ii the breathing has but just ceased.
a smart slap on the face or stomach
will sometimes start it again, and
may be- tried incidentally.
(2).-Prevent the crowding Of
friends around the patient, and thus
excluding currents OF air; also from
attempting to administer any stimu-
lent before the patient IS breathing
and is we'll able to swallow; the first
promotes sut1ocation--the second ia
tai choking.
(3).-Do not be impatient Of re-
suits. Any time within two hours
you may be on the very threshold OF
success, without there being any
sign of it. There are instances on

The Creamery nUsinc,S.

Il. +. Farmer, cashier of the bank
OF Spring Valley, has for some time
been much interested in the dairy and
creamery business in southern Min
desota, and to reporter told the fol

ness, IA it was once the banner wheat
growing county. The county has six

and that was at Spring Valley. 1t is
the old story OF wheat raising, which
has history from New York State to
Minnesota; wheat played out and
that suggested TO some Of the busi-
ness men TO consider what was best
TO be done in the interest of the farm
er-. A meeting was called and on
due deliberatlon, the meeting ap-
pointed Col. {. q. Edwards to visit
Iowa, and, if necessary. other states
to learn the best and most feasible
plan Of changing wheat raising to
other and more profitable producing
interest for the farmer. Colonel Ed
wards visited several places in Iowa
The places that showed the best
class of farmers were Manchester,
West Union, Decorah and Fayette
Each OF these towns had a creamery

says it is the creamery business which
makes the farmers thrifty and keeps
their buildings in good shape and re-
pair. Wheat cannot make all of
those improvements. The colonel
called on MIR. Whitney of the Fayette
County Savings bank, of West Union,
Iowa, and asked him to tell him how
the farmers could afford to build such
costly buildings, and make good i'm
proven. ents. Mr.. Whitney said it
was because Of the creamery bust
ness
He said that when the farmers de
pended on wheat raising most OF their
property was mortgaged TO pay for
farm machinery. He claimed and
showed his bank books III proof, that
in three year, of the creamery style
of farming the farmers had become

Telephone for Farmers

Tomake good and serviceable tel
cphonc, good from one farm house
to another, only requires enough wire
and two cigar boxes. First, select
your boxes and make a hole about a
half an inch in diameter in the center
Of the bottom Of each, and then place
one in each of the houses you wish to
connect; then get five pounds Of com
mon iron stove pipe wire, make loop
in one end and put it through the
hole in your cigar box and fasten it
with nail; then draw it tight to the
other box, supporting it when neces-
sary, with stout cord. You can easi
ly run your line into the house by
Doiine, :. i,uie through tilo siaor. Sup
port your boxes with stats nailed
across the window, and your tcle

The inventor as yet refused TO dis
close the mechanism by which he ac-
complishes his results. All that Wis
itors are allowed to SEQ is strip of
paper, perforated with small holes
hot much larger than the head Of q
large pin, passing over q roller. The
strip of paper is twelve inches wide,
and the music it represents covers
the whole seven octaves of tho Stein

giving theinitial rapidity, after which
the time is regulated 10y the instru-
ment. AT present the power is sap
piled from small bellows, worked by
the feet, but the rapidity, power, etc,
OF the music do not depend upon the
bellows, as is the case with small or
gans. Ultimately the foot power will
be done away with, and the bellows
worked by water, electric, or other
power. 1t will then be necessary
only to put in the music and set the
machine going.
The best piani5ts who have seen
the new invention praise it very high

tonishment, said: Man cannot com

porter that it is difficult when ones
back is turned TO distinguish the
playing of some passages by n good
pianists Much remains to be done
in the preparation of the music. but
enough has been done to awaken
great interest. The next step will be

INTERESTING INVENTION.
Marvellous Mechanical Music ian.


From the New York Evening Post.
Professional musicians and plan
lists have for several months been in
terested in the progress made by an
inventor of this city, Mr. Merritt Gal
ly, toward the completion Of al auto
maton which shall play upon the pi-
ano with expression and briIliancy.
For years more or less unsuccessful
attempts have been made by different
inventors to perfect such an appara-
tuS, the result in the best Of cases be,
ing unsatisfactory for any purpose
except dancing The device of pass
ing over the keys or pipe opening Il
sheet OF paper so perforated that at
the right moment the perforatioEs al
low current of air to pass. and
work the key or allow the air to pass
through the organ pipe, has been
widely used. With organs this de
vice was more successful than with a
piano; in the latter case the element
Of touch was as important rs those Of
power and duration, and the touch,
tone, and power may be altered so
many times in single run Of score
of notes that musicians have consd
ed an automatic pianist as beyond
the possibilities Of invention, al
though some creditable attempts
have been made; but the "automatic
pianos" in the market play with Il
mechanical effect which is exaspera-
ting to cultivated ears. The new in
vention aims at nothing less than the
exact re production of piano music as
played by famous virtuosi such as
Rubinstein and Josetfy, reproducing
its minutest effect of delicate shading
as well as power and brilliancy. To
say that this has been accomplished
will be received with skepticism by
all persons who know anything about
music, and, after careful study of
what Mr.. Gally's piano does, it can
not be said that it has been accom-
plished. But much has been done,
and as the present defects in the per
formance ofthe instrument are posi-
bly, the result of imperfect mechanism
in the apparatus itself and in the
preparation OF the sheet music. the
next few years may witness the reali
zation of what has hitherto been
deemed an impossibility by musi
clans. What seems TO be doubtful at
present is whether the apparatus can
give individuality to the different
notes Of q chord.
A reporter Of The Evening Post
was shown the new apparatus this
morning. 1t is inclosed in a box
which fits over the key board OF any
piano and can be adjusted or taken
off again in a few moments. Moth
