TO AVOID DROWNING.
Lock the Hands Behind the Back, Initiate
the Lungs and Close the Mouth.

Lock the Hands Behind the Back, Initiate
the Lungs and Close the Mouth.
A gentleman, prominent in business
IN Chicago, asks us to emphasize fact
published some months ago about how
to avoid drowning when unable to
swim The directions were: 'Lock
the hands behind the back and fully
initiate the lungs and close the mouth. y
The reason he asks this is that some
years ago he lost an only son by drown
ing in the Mississippi river, and, as
would be natural, any thing referring
to the subject quickly arrests his atten-
ton. After reading the article he read
it aloud to his wife and daughter, and
upon the latter it made profound i'm
preston. Two or three weeks ago,
while his daughter was enjoying row
on Lake Michigan huge wave cap
sized the boat and threw her into the
water, which was deep. While the
daughter was sinking she remembered
the directions, clasped her hands be-
hind her, and when she arose, threw
the water from her mouth and filled
her lungs full of air before she sunk a
second time She went under but a
short distance, and upon reaching the
surface she floated until boat put out
out from shore and rescued her. The
gentleman remarked: ''Had it not been
Tor these wise directions repeated to
my daughter, and her obeying them, !
am satisfied I would to-day be child
! less This year there have been an
| unusually large number of deaths from
drowning, and it would seem wise for
parents to impress these simple direc.
tions on the minds of young people.
They are good even for those who can
swim, for it will enable them to rest
and have better opportunity for rescue,

An Englishman, after having been
shown the operations of the pneumatic
tube for carrying parcels in New York,
said: II have seen just one thing
more wonderful than that. / have
talked by cable from London to Cal
cutta, India, over seven thousand miles
of wire. Two years ago called upon
Managing Director w. Andrews, of the
Indo-European Telegraph Company,
at No. 13 Old Broad street, London.
1t was Sunday evening, and the wires
were not very busy. Mr.. Andrews called
upon Emden, German town. Give
me Odessa he wired. In few
seconds we got the signal from the
Russian seaport city, and asked for
Teheran, the capital of Persia. Call
Kurrachee,' said Andrews. In less
than half minute we were signaling
that Indian town. The signals came
at the rate of fifteen words a minute.
After learning that the London office
was testing the long wires. Kurrachee
gave us Agra, and we chatted pleasant
" for few minutes with the operator
on duty there. In short time the
operator switched us on the cable to
the Indian capital, Calcutta. At first
the operator there could not believe
that he was talking to London. and he
asked, in the Morse language: is that
really London, EnglandP' 1t was a
wonderful achievement, natalie CON-
munication without a break between
the capital of the English nation and
the seat of her government in India,
seven thousand miles away, as the bird
flies. IN O. Times Democrat.

visit in the Bsvarian highlands, and
has met the King of Bavaria on one of
his nightly excursions in the neighbor-
hood of his mysterious chateau of Lin
derhof, writes an account of what he
has seen to the Vienna Neue Frete
Presse, Hundreds of lsborers sre en-
ployed daily in keeping in order all the
roads in the surrounding district, re-
moving undue accumulatiOnS of snow
or obstacles of any kind. The sudden ap-
pearance of the royal sledge at night
in some unexpected quarter seems like
q scene out of fairy tale. As it ap-
proaches it looks like q golden swan
with wings displayed. Within one
may see the pale faced King reclining
on the richly-embroidered blue velvet
cushions. The interior is lit up by q
soft but brilliant electric light, which
iIluminates every thing around to &
considerable distance. IL flashes by
the wondering spectator, who has hard
ly time to notice the agraffe of bril
liants which sdorns the artists hat OF
the King, or the uniform of the young
side-de-camp who sits by his side.
