subjects.
II have spoken about swimming and
bathing in general terms only, for it would
require too much of the Herald's space for
me to describe the various methods OF
swimming-overhand stroke underhand
stroke, side stroke, dog stroke (or pad
ding, tack stroke, feet and legs only,
hands and arms only, one arm and one leg,
diving, saving person from drowning,
etc; but upon the latter subject l should
like to say a few words in conclusion:
''lf you fancy yourself in danger while
swimming do not lose your presence of
mind. Keep cool; husband your strength
as much as possible by simply padding
strongly enough to keep yourself afioat.
HINTS FOR DROWNING PEOPLE.
Recall the fact that if you have the
cramp in one leg, with two arms and one
leg you should easily be able to keep above
water. Float, if you can, call for help if
forced to do so, and make up your mind to
float about until assistance arrives. Avoid
ing useless risks, it may be added, will pay
in the long run, so far as swimming and
other things are concerned.
of person should swim out to yosr
rescue remember that one finger placed
upon Il swimmers shoulder will support
another person in the water, and the lower
you keep in the water the less weight
and consequent taxing of strength you sub
ject your rescuer to.
"Obey your rescuer in all things. He
will most likely tell you to throw yourself
fiat on your back, and by keeping your
head up push you out os danger or may
content himself with keeping your head
up until further assistance arrives.
In no case catch hold of your rescuer
or try to cling to him, for the chances are
that by so doing you will only tend to
drown yourself and the person who tries
to rescue you.
Il suppose that it is not necessary to
dwell upon the point that it is best not to
rush into the water when you are over
heated. Wait until you cool off to about
your normal temperature before taking the
first plunge.
Il do not think that the practice of
plunging infants into cold water tends to
benefit them in any way Children of ten
der years may be gently handled to their
benefit in warm salt water, believe; but
those capable of taking care of themselves
should be allowed to do so, and must not be
forced, screaming and terrified, beneath the
waves.
"Such treatment tends to make them
timld and causes them to dread the
water"

SAD FACTS.
A Dealer Shows How the Mills Bill VIII
Affect the Country.


GAS merchant, | can see the injury
threatened by the Mills BILL" said we'll
known dealer the other day. ''Take for
example, the article of starch. There are
200 potato starch factories in this country
They make about 1900 tons, or 100000
pounds OF starch yearly. With duty of
two cents a pound, these factories have
giy en- employment to a large number Of
persons, including laborers in the field and
skilled wOrkmen in the factories These
persons are well paid. Take off the duty
ard what is the result? German starch
will be sent over in abundance. There
the laboFers in the field get mark or
about twenty four cents day, while the
skilled workmen in the factories are con-
tent with three marks, or little over
seventy cents day. Thus. you
can readily see, the cost of produc-
ing and manufacturing starch IN Ger
many is so small compared TO what
is required here, that with the duty off
this work in this country would be entirely
stopped, as it would be impossible to COM
pete with the imported starch. Owing to
the recent failure of the potato crop, and
the high price of this vegetable, it has
been as much as the factories could do TO
furnish starch low enough to keep out
| that produced in Germany, even with the
duty now imposed. In ordinary times the
American factories can make an excellent

starch, and sell little below the price of
the imported starch plus the duty. The
tariff thinkers rarely take into consideration
the difference in the rate of wages and the
cost of living here and in the countries
where similar articles are produced. The
starch business is large and growing in
dustry in New York State, and should it
escape the clutches of the tariff meddlers,
will no doubt increase tic gigantic proper

Our VINEYARDS.

The Anglo American Times says. Cali
fornia had in 1880 over $4,000 acres in
vines, which had increased by last year to
$4,000 acres, of which $4,000 acres were
bearing. Three years hence there ought
to be 100000 acres bearing. With them
the average is about 400 gallons to the
acre. Three years from now California
ought to produce 100000 gallons. At
the low price of twenty-five cents per gal
Ion, this means a revenue of $l0,000,000.
The vineyards in France cover 100000
acres, which in good years average 200
gallons of wine to the acre"

Fail-Hatched Chicks.

July and August is a good season to set
hens from which to raise your winter lay
ers. Pullets Matched in September and
August will, if cared for, begin laying in
January ard February, and will want to
sit in February and March; thus you have
winter layers and sitters for your early
spring broods, which is so necessary to
success. But when setting hens in hot
weather you must provide cool place al
ways, making the nest on the ground if
possible, or put sod in the bottom of nest
box and sprinkle this with water in which
is little carbolic acid to prevent lice

An Exclamation.


What is this nervous trouble with
which so many seem now to be afflicted
If you will remember, few years ago the
word malaria was comparatively I'M
known; to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language; yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times past.
SO it is with nervous diseases, as they
malaria are intended 10 cover whs Jur
grsrdfaIhers called biliousness, and all are
caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the liver, which, in per-
forming its functions, finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel, is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles, ma
laria, bilious fever, etc. You who are suf-
fering can well appreciate a cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. It's
cures are marvellous.

Musby Canned Fruit.

Every Gamer and every dealer knows
how quickly lot of goods is discredited
by the discovery of any cans of mushy
fruit in opening them for examination or
sale, and how certain is the rejection of
the goods, or at least the demand for an
allowance, which ensues. The consequence
is that Gamers, in the effort to avoid these
troubles and losses are inclining to the OPP
posite extreme, and too much fruit is being
packed hard and green. The fault does
not lie with the Gamers, nor vet with the
dealers. but is at the door of the consumer
The retail dealer will supply whatever his
customers demand. If they want petritied
fruit in cans he will give his wholesale
merchant no rest till he gets ii, and the
wholesale dealer makes the law for the
Gamer. If consumers knew how much
they are losing by this senseless demand
for hard fruit there would probably be
change in public taste, beneficial to
all concerned. 1t they appreciated that
no fruit can possibly develop its full flavor
until it is thoroughly ripe, and that when
thus ripe it must process somewhat soft,
the cry for hard fruit would doubtless
abate. 1t does not follow that ripe fruit
need be actually mushy in the can, like so
much pulp, but if it is to be of its best
flavor, mere sottness and even a moderate
degree of shreddiness. SO long as the fruit
does not actually lose its shape, ought not
to be complained Of. We predict that the
public taste will eventually come around
TO this, and think it can be and should be
helped along greatly by the press. To use
fully ripe fruit will make cheaper as well
as better fruit to the consumer, for ripe
fruit makes more weight to the grower,
enabling him to sell at less price per
pound and yet make an equal profit, whilst
to Gamers it would save much now lost by
having to run it into pie fruit or jam

Insects and Pests.

The onion maggot will begin to work
when the young plants are large enough
for hoeing, or little later if the onions
have made an early growth. The first
sign noticed will be the dropping of onion
tops, and if the maggot is not stopped each
worm will move along the row, taking
every onion for one or two feet As there
may be more than one on the first plant,
and as the eggs may be deposited very
thickly over the field, they make sad work,
often taking whole rows in a few days, or
perhaps so reducing the whole field as to
make the better way to pillow it up and de-
vote it to other crops. Where they are
but few, the only sure way is to take out
the root as soon as the top begins to wilt,
and perhaps one or two on each side of it
in the row, and take up the soil at least an
inch in depth. Remove this from the
field entirely, and either devote it to the
compost heap, or to such drying as will
kill the little maggot that does the mis-
chief. 1t may be necessary to look over
the field twice day for week or more
before all will be destroyed. But in no
other way can the value of the field be
| preserved as an onion field. The only
other remedy is to devote it to grass or
other crops for three or four years, and
grow no onions near it.
The cabbage fly can be driven away by
occasionally sprinkling the leaves with
fine tobacco, pulverized sulphur and plas-
ter mixed together. For the cabbage
worm use 4 solution of saltpeter at the rate
of quarter Of a pound in two gallons OF
water, with which shower the plants lib
orally. This is also useful for destroying
rose bugs, and if a little of it is used in
watering cabbage and tomato plants or
melon hills it may prevent the cut worm
from attacking them. For the currant
worm powdered hellebore is a sure de-
stroyer, and if used freely until after the
currants blossom, the worms seldom appear
later. AS it is poisonous, it should not be
used after the berries are grown, when it
will be necessary to depend upon hand
picking. The same caution should be OBJ
served in regard to Paris green upon to-
mato and egg plants for the destruction OF
the Colorado beetle. One pound of the
Paris green well mixed into Il hundred
weight of fine ground plaster is the best
method of applying that poison to the po-
tato vines, or to above crops before the
fruit forms. To destroy canker worms
stir tablespoonful of Paris green into !
pail of water, and with a small force pump
or syringe thoroughly shower the tree

HOW TO ENTER THE WATER.

Some people like to enter the water
with sudden plunge, Others object to the
shock, preferring to walk slowly into deep
water. The best mode of entering the
water, according to my theories, particu-
larly the ocean, when the temperature of
the water is low, depends entirely upon a
persons constitution. Some people will
suffer from headache after quick plunge
into the water; others feel the same symp-
toms after slow and gradual dip. Such
being the case, it is best to try both these
methods, and stick to the one which suits
your constitution best.
1.-THE length of time which person can
with benefit to themselves remain in the
water also depends entirely upon the per-
sons constitution. One man may derive
benefit from ten minutes roll in the
breakers, but may feel weak and ex-
hausted if he stays much longer in the
water. Others can buffet around under
and over the waves for hours and hours
without the slightest inconvenience to
themselves. There can be no rules laid
down for the length of time person re-
mains in the water, except the general one
that when your hands and feet begin to
get white and nrmbed and YOU feel cold
and exhausted, get out of the water and
take a sun BATH if you do not feel in
clined to retire to your bath-house and
take rub down with good, rough towel.
| SEA BATHING AS MEDICINE.
persons suffering from heart trouble
naturally should not tempt the water too
much, any more than they should indulge
in any violent exercise to excess; but a
sea-water bath, properly taken, will prove
beneficial to invalids suffering from yari-
Gus complaints.
''For rheumatism, catarrh, liver troub-
les, some skin troubles, nervous troubles
etc, l consider that warm sea-bathing is
greatly beneficial, though doctors disagree

COMPULSORY EDUCATION OF IN.
DIANS.

A bill to provide for compulsory educa.
tion of Indians, introduced by Teller of
Colorado, is being discussed in the
United States Senate. Teller argued
that there is no instance in history of In
dian aborigines being treated as literally
as they have been in the United States;
but the American people had not been
wise in thei. dealings with them, or there
would be no uncivilized Indians to-day.
He advocated the compulsory education
Of all Indians and having them incorpor.
atea in the body polite.
If the Colorado Senator was conversant
with Indian affairs in Nevada, he would
doubtless have excepted the Piutes and
Shoshones in the Central and Eastern
part Of the State from those who had
been SO literally treated by the Govern.
nent. The members of those tribes, who
have remained peaceable and friendly
with the whites, receive no anauities or
supplies Of anv kind or character from
the General Government. They have
had to depend exclusively upon their own
resources for support. and unless the com.
pulsory education bill provides for their
maintenance it will be difficult to enforce
it should it become . law. The Piutes
are not only willing but. anxious to have
their Children educated, but they dislike
to be separated from them and save in
rare instances will not consent to have
them taken to other parts of the country
to industrial schools. If, however, the
Teller bill makes provision for educating
Indian children at or near their homes
and for their support while at school, no
difficulty will be experienced in getting
them to attend school, but if Teller or
any other Senator thinks he can compel
the majority Of Nevada Indians to send
their children out of the State to school,
he is simply mistaken, unless the whole
United States army is employed in
chasing them through the mountains and
leading them as captives to the industrial
schools. What is needed in Nevada to
educate the Indians is at least a half
dozen local schools where the pupils
would be fed as well as educated.
