yesterday. My family have had sey err
al narrow escapes ard still they have o
perfect mania for the water
why, there is no need to be afraid,
answered bis friend, if you bot retain
your presence of mind. When you find
yourself in deep water you will sink at
first, but if you do not Struggle you will
come quickly TO The surface again. On
reaching it, Immediately draw full
breath and throw your head back. This
will have tie effect of placing you in o
recumbent position on the surface Of the
water. Now this is the most criti cal
moment for those who do not kno
what TO do next. Extend your arms at
once on level with your shoulders with
the palms of tue hands downwards, and
begin gently padding in the water with
the movement of the wrist only. Ex-
tend your legs quietly and slowly in o
line with your body. If you raise your
arms. your head or your legs above the
surface of the water you will sink, but
If you have tho presence OF mind not to
do SO and not to struggle about you will
never sink, so long as you keep pad
ding gently without exertion. So you
may float on until you are picked up or
until you are numbei by the cold.-N.

Once knew little girl,
Very plain,
You might try her hair TO cul,
All in vain;
On her cheek no tint OF rose
Palcd and blushed. or sought roposc:
Sue MAS plain.
But the thoughts that through her brain
Came and went,
AS recompense for ain,
So full many beauteous thing,
In her young soul blossoming,
Gave content.
Every thought was full of grace,
Pure and true;
And in time the homely face
Lovelier grew;
With heavenly radiance brigh',
From the souls reflected light
Shining through.

Clear the

The Illinois Appellate Court has just
rendered a decision which ought to be
generally understood. A couple of years
ago a Bloomington merchant INSTRUCTED
the sidewalk with some oil barrels, in
consequence of which a man was hurt and
sued the city for $1,000. He was success
full to the extent of recovering $3.50 and
costs. The corporation then sued the
merchant for the amount it had been
obliged to pay out for damages resulting
from his act. The case was twice tried in
the Circuit Court, and once in the Appel
late Court, which latter has now decided
that the city must recover from the mer-
chant all it had paid out with interest on
the same. This seems to be a good law and
the right method Of getting at the bust
ness. The corporation was responsible to
the individual for not enforcing it's ordi-
nances for his protection, and the viola
tor OF the law is responsible to the city
for the damages resulting from his law
breaking.

A Natural Trotter.

Jay-Eye-See is so perfectly balanced in
his action that he does not need to be
heavily shod. He wears eight-ounce shoes
for ward and four-ounce shoes behind. A
peculiar habit of this young horse is found
in his manner Of eating his hay and oats.
When fed, a pail Of water Is placed near
his box OF oats. He will take q mouthful
OF oats, put his nose in the water, take
another mouthful Of oats, again put his
nose In the water, and 80 on continually
until his grain Is eaten mp clean. He then
proceeds the same way with his hay, until
he has consumed a liberal supply. In this
way he avoids all the i'll effects of dusty
hay or oats. He is a good feeder at all
times. eating twelve quarts of oats and the
usual allowance Of hay.

Irish Poplins ana h Tickle
Goddess.

The Irish poplins, SO long waiting their
turn in England for preference by fashion,
have at last been adopted by the tickle
goddess. who, Of course, can allow nothing
to exist in it's natural state, and therefore
insists on having them made in checked
and plaided patterns, instead Of the bright,
rich. glossy tints for which they have
always been 30 much admired. The new
patterns, which have come fresh from
France latter having been sent thither
from Dublin, no doubt are all c~ross-barred
with light bars upon a dark ground. such
as gold upon dark green, white upon dark
blue, and so on. Worth has decided that
nothing but Irish poplins can accomplish
his purpose. that Of making the dress fall
softly and with grace from the waist
downward, and rendering the waist small
by inference from the volume OF plating
gathered above the hips. The squares are
immense, but the inconvenience thus pro-
duced in the case of women of diminutive
figure IL obviated by the mingling Of the
stripes In the chaos Of folds and gathers
below the waist.

A veritabre Train of Ice.

A train %oficars in Buffalo has becom 9 a
wall of ice. The Buffalo Express describes
it: "One Of the most striking things on
the lake front is q long train of cars on a
siding next the open lake. They were
hauled out there when the breakers began
to run high, in order to protect from ice
the adjoining tracks. Some of these cars
are empty and others loaded with lumber.
There are, perhaps, q quarter of a mile of
the cars. From one end to the other they
are a solid wall of ice. Most of the cars
cannot be seen at all. On the lake side
the ice is two or three feet thick. The
spaces between the cars are filled solid
with ice, and the space between the wheels
under the entire length Of the train is a
miniature mammoth cave-a gallery of
stalactites and stalagmites. Several of the
cars have crushed and caved beneath the
weight of the ice. 1t Is a veritable train
of ice"

are skilled in their trade and that they are
fully cognizant of every detail OF the bus
