Teaching n Girl to swim.

In deep water, under the care of an ex-
perlenced person, young girl may be
taught to swim in 4 much shorter time
than by practiclng in shallow streams.
says good authority in the Ladies' Home
JOHrUGt. y rope can be fastened around
her breast in such a manner that il will
neither tighten nor unloose, and if coura-
geOus enough, she can, thus prepared,
plunge in head first. The teacher will
show her the proper way to use the arms.
and, finding herself protected by the
rope, she will feel more faith in the exer-
ton made. The aid Of the hand is. how
ever far better than this, as it can be re-
inquished insenSibly. The best method
of teaching on this plan is for good
swimmer 10 carry the learner in the arms
into the water until breast high, laying
her nearly Hat upon it, and supporting
her by placing one hand under the chest,
at the same time giving instruction as to
the proper motion of hands, arms and
feet. IN few days the handImav be
gradually Withdrawn, and the girl-swin-
mer able to do without it. There are
ever so many "GOn'tSn about swimming.
Unlike PGnch's, they begin after the act
Is signed, sealed and delivered, and YOU
are fair swimmer. The most important
piece of negative advice is, Don't ever
lose your presence of mind. With that
you are mistress Of the situation, and,
other things not Overwhelmingly against
you, can reach land again.

to his chiefs in provinces; his appeal to
Tartar Generals to protect foreigners and
punish their assailants, all indicate a
much graver situation than in this coun-
try has been believed to exist That for
eigners in China are very uneasy is GER
tain; that they distrust the ability of the
Imperial Government to maintain order,
as well as its sincerity, all letters from
China disclose. True, the advices of our
own Government are that the protection
promised will be afforded. But these are
not borne out by private advices. The
masses in China are not satisfied that the
Tartar shall rule them; they are jealous
of the influence foreign Governments
have in the Imperial Court; they are be-
ginning to know their strength, and
have gained something, from foreign
contact, of boldness not characteristic OF
them. There is reason, then, to believe
that the Outrages are due TO jealousy
of foreign influence and the ambition Of
enemies of the Tartar throne, and if this
is true then the assaults upon European
and American missionaries have more
meaning than we have attributed to
them. We do not believe, as some East
ern journals allege, that the outrages are
due to the restrictive laws imposed upon
Chinese subjects abroad. China has not
at any time manifested a retaliatory
spirit. If she proposed such policy il
would appear in the form of laws bear
ing with greater severity upon European
and Americans resident in China. 1t is
more reasonable. as we have said, to be-
heve that the riots against missionaries
are intended to express discomfort
among local chieftains with the Imperial
Tartar rule. The greater danger is that
the dynasty will placate the chiefs and
those they lead by manifest unfriendli-
ness to foreigners in China. In that case
we may look for far more danger soon to
menace Europeans and Americans there
than now threatens them.

WILLING TO FACE TT ALONE.
Only the Ambulance Surgeon SCENE
to Have Plenty of Time

Only the Ambulance Surgeon seemed
to Have Plenty of Time.
hodcarrier had been badly crushed
by the fall of Scatfolding while he was
at work on tall building in Wall street,
says the New York tribune. His fellows
had picked him up as tenderly as possible
and had borne him bleeding and dusty to
shady spot to wait for the ambulance.
1t was long wait for the man in torture,
Tor the day was al intensely hot one, and
people were being prostrated by the heat
all over the city, and the ambulances had
been on the run all day. An hour is not
q long time for an ambulance to set out
from hospital, bring back patient, and
| then reach another one, but to those who
watch man slowly bleeding TO death for
want OF medical assistance, it seems an
age.
Big, rough men stood around the fallen
hOdcarrler with tears in their eyes, utter
ing low curses at the tardineSs OF the am
bulance. But the victim of the con-
tractors greed or carelessness was the
most patient OF them all. AS the minutes
passed along he uttered no word OF inn
patience, only he looked wistfully on
those around him. After about half an
hour OF this suspense a doctor who was
passing was called over. He knelt down
by the man, felt his crushed-in side and
examined his fractured skull. Then he
shook his head and asked softly:
Has he any friends among you?"
None Of US knows him, sir" said the
foreman. ''He struck me for a lob this
morning, and as / was short-handed [

as far away from memory as is possible
every reminder of the infamy with which
the State once branded itself.
