The Good Old Times.

In every neighborhood we find a few
elderly people, whose estimate of the
present seems to be gauged by eNtrava-
giant praise of the past Nothing now
a-days is quite as good as it was twenty,
forty, or fifty years ago They may
make these sad comparisons with the
daily paper in their lap, seated in a
steam-heated room, snow and ice with
out and Florida Strawberries at their
elbow. Around them are Injuries of
which, in their youth, they never
dreamed. They are used TO them now,
and would feel outraged at their alb
sence. They know what happened all
over the world yesterday, quite as thor
oughly as they once understood the
gossip of their native village, And yet
they are forever delving amid the mists
of years for something which has never
existed, except in their own reminis-
cent fancies 1t is very human, how
ever, to linger over our past, AS old
age advances, we love repose. The
present is bustling, the future unc II
tain But in the past we can roam with
memory whittier we will, and there are
none to interrupt or say us nay.--ian-

Keep the ra.slons in ChecN.

An old mal was once walking with
little boy. They came across four
shrubs. The old man said to his youth
full companions:
"Pull up the least one"
He obeyed with case,
Nov the next"
He obeyed, but it did not come SO
easily.
And the third
1t took all his strength to move its
roots, but he succeeded.
"Now the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his
strength. He only made the leaves
trembie he could not move the roots.
They had gone strongly into the earth,
and no effort could dislodge them
Then the wise old man said to the
ardent youth
This, my son, is just what happens
with our passions. When they are
young and weak one may, by little
watchfulness over self and the help of
"a little self-denial, easily tear them up:
but if we let them east their roots deep
into our souls, there is no human power
can uproot them. For this reason, my
child, watch well over the first move
ments of your soul, and study, by acts
of virtue, 20 keep your passions well in
check. '--GOlden Days.

One reason why sharpers succeed so
well in preying upon country folks who

the strangers who have valises, saying:
"Let me carry that for you, sir?" The
smartest of them do not solicit at all,
but rush up and seize the strangers
bags, even using little force. 1t is
noticeable that in at least half such

STRENGTH IN SWIMMING.
Tho Difficulties OF Trying TO Save a Drow
ing Person.

Tho Difficulties OF Trying to Save a Drown.
ing Person.
There are two periods in the year
when deaths by drowning are frequently
recorded December, when skating
begins, and June, when swimming-time
has come. Last winter was remarkable
for the number of instances in which
boys had the good fortune to save the
lives of their comrades who had broken
through the ice.
The Royal Humane Society OF London
awarded their bronze medal to Cecil
Stanley Manning, a boy of fourteen
years, for saving another boy aged
twelve years, who broke through the
ice in deep water seventy-fve feet from
the shore.
They gave another bronze medal to
boy named Murray, who saved little
fellow one year younger than himself
from drowning in the Thames at Hamp-
ton Court.
Then there were two brothers, Anthony
and Charles Ellwood, who saved two of
their younger brothers, and to each of
them the society awarded honorable
recognition. There were several other
boys, from fourteen to twelve years old.
who saved or assisted to save children
only year or two younger than them
selves.
1t is well for boys to become acquaint-
ed with such facts as these. At the same
time they should bear in mind that a
human being in deep water has no great
amount of strength over and above what
is necessary to keep his own head above
the surface, and that it may mean two
victims instead of one if he tries to save
from drowning a person heavier than
himself, or one who will cling to him
and impede his action.
The strongest swimmer can not carry
in the water more than q very few
pounds, and that weight but short
distance When he has plunged into
the water with all his clothes on, with
perhaps a pair of high boots on his feet,
and dozen pieces of metal in his pocket
he must be strong man to render
much help to another.

strength and confidence in the water
Our swimming-teachers very sensibly
require their pupils to bathe now ant
then in q complete suit of old clothes
including a pair of high boots, that they
may know how it feels to be in the
water thus equipped, and how to get rit
of some of their garments. A person
who has bathed encumbered thus viii
get an idea how much aid he coult
render to drowning person.
1t is mistake to over bathe; and il
this particular there is q curious differ
ence between one person and another
of two brothers, both in apparently
equal health, one can battle every day
with advantage, while the other vii
discover that it is best for him to keel
out of the water except on hot days, anC
then not to stay in more than fiftcel
minutes. In this, as in all other athlete
exercises, zeal should be tempered
with prudence. .-Youth's COMPANION.

STEADY HANDS REoulREp.
Hook and Ladder Truck Not
Easy Work.

Steering Hook and Ladder Truck Noe
Easy Work.
"Perhaps you think 1t an easy thing
TO steer fire truck so it is--when you
know how" said a gray-haired FIRE lad
die the other day, as he nimbly vaulted
out of his lofty seat on the tail of the
truck after returning from a false
alarm few blocks away.
"There are practically two men on
the truck. the man who drives and the
man who steers" continued the
veteran. "I've done both duties now
for more than ten years and flatter my
self that know something about them,
but | think that the steerer has the
harder job of the two"
1t is probable that any one who has
thought of the matter at all has come to
the same conclusion, for the deftness
with which hook and ladder truck is
swung around sharp corners, in its mad
race to fire, is something to be won
dered at by the onlookers
The truck itself is about forty feet
long and carries from six to eight ex-
tension and several life-saving ladders,
the longest of the former projecting out
behind about ten feet. The truck is
drawn by three strong and fleet horses,
which are driven by a man sitting on q
high seat in front. The members of the
company find standing room on the low
platform which runs along either side
of the truck below the body of the con-
veyance, while at the extreme end sits
the steerer away up in the air. You
scarcely see the men between for look
ing at the driver and his coadiutor at
the other end. The latter has his hand
on a big wheel like an enormous brake
on a freight car on which he keeps his
hands firmly closed. Meanwhile his
eyes are on the driver. He sees the
driver turn corner, and he is ready in
an instant. If his eyes were not true
and his hand brawny and steady, the
unwieldy vehicle would be dashed into
lamp post or even into building in u
twinkling.
But the steerer knows his business.
At just the crucial moment he turns his
iron wheel this way or that way, and
the heavy wheels of the truck, which
answers to his touch, as the ship an
swers her helm, barely touch the curl
and in a moment swing into a direct
line with the forward wheels, and the
machine dashes on until the same ma
neuver is repeated at the next corner.
Every fireman connected with the
several hook and ladder companies is
taught both to drive and to steer, but
in some way the duties are apt to de
volve upon the most competent in tn,
company, and so it is that one man OF
another comes to do the same worl
year after year, and good work gains
for him a reputation for his speciality
Beginners are taught their duties il
that direction by handling the truck OF
the return from fires, and little by littlt
learn skill from experience. N. y

Corselet Bodlc.s.

The corselet bodice is seen on the
trim tailor-made gowns as well as on
those for the house. These bodices are
usually fastened on the left side under
the arm and are worn with gimps either
full or laid fiat, as is most becoming to
the wearer They fit the figure quite
like corset and are sharply pointed or
bluntly rounded as may be fancied,
The back has the same number OF
seams as waist proper, but the fronts
drawn smoothly over the lining and
shaped by a single seam down the
middle. They are made of all sorts oi
summer fabrics. Chicago Post.
