To Resuscitate the Half Drowned.

Everybody may be called upon to afford
assistance to drowned persons while the
doctor is being sent for, and Professor La
borde's simple method for restoring breath
when all other means nave failed deserves
to be universally known. The other day
at a watering place in Normandy two
bathers, a young man and a boy, who were
nable to swim, went out of their depth
and disappeared. They were brought on
shore inanimate, and were taken to the vii
lage. Two doctors were sent for, but tho
young man gave nc sign of life and they
declared he was dead.
M. Laborde, who was fishing at half an
hours distance, came up as soon az he
heard Of the accident. He examined the
body and found that the extremities were
cold and the heart had stopped. Then tax
ing hold of the root of the tongue he drew
it violently forward, giving it a succession
of jerks in order to excite the reflex action
of the breathing apparatus, which is al
ways extremely sensitive. At the end Of a
few minutes a slight hiccough showed that
the patient was saved.
In addition to the Usual restorative
means Professor Larborde, in extreme
cases, rubs the chest with towels soaked in
hot and nearly boiling water although the
skin is blistered by this.-London News.

Adiectives.

Adjectives are the trouble. They have
so decreased in intensity from overusage
that it takes an adjective ten times the
power now to express the meaning desired.
Rapturous and blissful mean about as
much as Every nice'' and Extremely en-.
joyable' used to do. But I shall never
sound a dirge for ~"enjoyable." 1t is on
of the worst and weakest of qualifers and
ought never to be heard. 1t is a misnomer,
too, for when you say an evening was en-.
joyable you mean that it was enjoyed.
PLEASANT" is weak, too, and so is warm
as applied to weather. The sun is hot
when it shines in summer, and warm
weather." like warm water" is emetical
in it's very sound. Strong Saxon words OF
every description are best, and vigorous
adjectives are especially SO.
Vigorous, however, does not mean over.
done or anticlimatical. The adjective eel.
egant," misapplied, appears to have had
its day and gone out in the inelegant cir.
cles in which it did such hard service,
Everything which met with appreciation
from q sunset to a plate of soup, was 'ele.
giant" to a certain class. In England Amer
icans are credited with real elegant
which, am :.~,py to say, I have never
had the pain OF ":ring. Real nice" and
"real pleasant" are still heard in the rural
districts, but the city intensives have crep,
in with the railways and displaced the old
timers somewhat.-Chicago Post.

The Solution Lies Deem,

Mazzini in his day saw clearly, and never
failed to see, that the man who thinks to
solve the riddle of the time by simply solv-
ing its political or economic problem has
got but a little way beneath the surface.
The new synthesis which alone can satisfy
must take account of every capacity of
man and every hunger of his heart. The
paid attorney for the defense and the paid
preacher will not succeed by any Door
minimizing of material things to blunt
the shafts of the industrial reformer Or
blind the eyes of the poor man to the vision
of freedom which comfort gives.
But If we were all comfortable tomor.
row, all we'll fed and we'll tailored and
easy payers of the income tax, and still
without the love of justice in our hearts,
without the love of beauty there, without
aught eternal there and absolute, without
any light there upon the great mystery
into which the most comfortable among
US must hasten tomorrow, our perfect
commissariat would be but a poor prison,
and we, when at the end of the week it's
new was worn off, of all men most misc
able-more miserable far than those ten
der women among the lions of the coli
scum, than Huss and Hooper in their fires,
than those poor prosecuted c~ovenanters.
or than the Pilgrim Fathers harried out
of England, all with heaven in their
hearts, New England Magazine.

Hardships Of a Fisherman's Life.

The Gloucester fishermen sail away full
OF hope and with a full larder. Arrived
on the grounds they anchor in about forty
or fifty fathoms, and set their travis.
These are long lines, anchored on the bot
tom, and extending out from the schooner
many hundreds of yards. To these at in
tervals Of a fathom (the distance varies
for different flsh) are attached shorter
lines. These lines have to be attended in
dories, each containing two men, who
haul, bait and land the fish in the boat to
be transferred to the schooner. Herein lie
the danger and hardship, for the strong
tides of the banks and the shoal water pile
up great combing seas. The cold is cruel
and the work hard. Suddenly down comes
a fog, not the soft mist of summer or au-
tumn, but 3 thick, heavy bank, soak I'd
through with the penetrating cold of the
icebergs farther north. Horns are blown
from the vessel, but every year many dories
are lost.
One would think that common sense, if
not law, would make each dory carry a
breaker Of water and pilot bread, but none
does, and either experience does not teach or
the fishermen like such chances, for year
after year comes the same old story of a
lost dory and two men starved or dead Of
thirst. When the fog lifts they are many
miles from their schooner, and are carried
by the swift tides they know not whittier.
Then come days of hunger and thirst,
hands are frozen to the oars, madness
haunts them, and then-death. Some
times they make land or are picked up
by a passing vessel, in which case thy
often return before their own schooner.
but that great happiness is rare. Ther
their vessel, which so gayly sailed out past
the light, o.nes home with her fag at half
mast.-R. Cleveland Coke in Century.

How Stevens Got q Nomination.

Charles Beerman, proprietor of the Kim
ball House and Markham Housed in Atlanta.
has lived in the south since 1858. He was
we'll acquainted with the celebrated Alex
ander H. Stevens, and tells this story of
the confederate vice president:
Stevens wanted the nomination for con-
gress in a Georgia district before the war,
and had as his opponent a big bodied, big
featured, big lunged man, who prided him
self on his h%erculean girth and believing
voice. They came together at the hastings
and the big man got the floor. He held his
opponent up to ridicule, and wound up his
%harangue with these words:
"Why, look at that man," pointing to
Stevens as he sat, a mere bundle of skin
and bones, in al invalid's peramJulating
chair. "Look at him. I could swallow
him at one mouthful."5
"Yes," piped Alex from the depths of
his chair, land if he did he'd have more
brains in his stomach than he's got in his
head" 4S
The crowd roared, the big fellow retired
in discontinue and Alex got the nomina-
tion.-Detroit Free Press.

The American Az HeIve,

All the world admires and wonders at
the American ak helve. The American
ak fitted with that ingeniously curved
and gracefully fashioned handle is q
marvelously effective weapon, vastly
more apt for it's purposes than the
straight handled headsman's ak with
which the italian fells trees, or the
broad faced hatchet used for the same
purpose in France. The American ak
helve is just what might have been ex-
pected of an inventive people laden with
the duty Of conquering and civilizing a
forest clad continent. The world had
been using the ak since prehistoric times.
but it remained the American pioneer
to fashion the ideal ak handle, at once
light, strong and elastic. The ak such
as is familiar to all Americans Is rare in
Europe, and it sells in all the British
colonies rs the American ax.-New York

lines were erected and taken down. All
parts of the army were in constant COM
municatiOn, not only while in camp, but
while actually moving.
The photographers were frequently called
on to make raids into the enemy's country,
to tap the wires and intercept Confederate
messages, and there was never a lack of
volunteers. Some were captured or killed
on these expeditions and others secured
valuable information about the enemy's
movements. Many a time an operator re,
manned at an abandoned post to warn the
army of Confederate approaches. Many a
time the receiving operator got the mes
sage, "Goodby; the Johnnies are coming"
and he knew by the silence which followed
that the sender had probably ripped his
instrument from its fasteEings and started
on a race for life and liberty.
General Grant said of the corps: 1.-THE
telegraph service was as necessary to our
success as the railroad is to commerce.
Nothing could be more complete than this
body of brave and intelligent men. The
moment the troops were put in position to
go into camp al b men connected with
this branch of the service would proceed
to put up their wires. No orders ever had
to be given to establish the telegraph"
And yet these operators nave never re-
ceived so much as a ''thank your from con-
gresS. When during the wal they asked
to be organized as q branch of the military
service the secretary of war deferred action
because if the telegraphers had a military
status they would be subject to the inter-
ference OF superior officers, some of whom
were meddlesome enough as it was. He
wanted to retain control of the corps at
Washington. When the wal closed the
photographers, instead of receiving an hon
orable discharge which they might hand
down to their posterity as proof of their
patriotic service for their country, were
simply told to quit, like SO many teamsters
or other hirelings.
One of the objects Of this society is to
secure from the government a proper recog-
milton of the service of the t~elegraphers.
They do not ask for pensions. They merely
want congress to pass IN act declaring that
they were a part of the army, that they
and their children may sharei in the glory
of American patriotism. For eight years
congress has been appealed to for justice,
n bills have been reported favorably in
six sessions, but none has ever passed.
The president of the society is William
r. Plum, now a Chicago attorney, and the
secretary is James E. Petit, late manager
for the Postal Telegraph in the same city.

between Baltimore and Washington was
interrupted, Simon Cameron, secretary Of
war, sent for Thomas Scott, of the Penn
sylvania railroad. He first called in An
drew Carnegie, now the millionaire iron
manufacturer of Pittsburg, and then four
operators from the Pennsylvania road to
man the offices on the interrupted line.
These four men, by accident as it were, be.
came the nucleus of a system that has
since been copied by every great nation in
Christendom.
There was very little system or design
about 1t, but the Geographic service grew
as necessity dictated. In fact the corps
was without a responsible head for six
months, when the late Arson Stager was
appointed general superintendent.
During most of the var the operators
were the sole c%ustodians Of the telegraphic
ciphers, even staff officers being denied
that confidence, and not a single operator
betrayed his trust. One man, caught in
the meshes Of a southern woman's love,
left the service to join his sweetheart, but
there was never any evidence that he gave
up his secret.
In a brief newspaper article it is impos-
sible to give many incidents of daring and
hardship, but a few will illustrate the
stuff Of which these brave, patriotic boys
were made. When the Merrimac dropped
down the James river On a career of de-
struction that was only staid by the gal
liant little Monitor, an operator at New
port News remained at his instrument to
describe every phase of the fight while the
shells shrieked about his quarters and two
tore through his Office within a few feet of
him. Amid the booming of cannon up the
river the thirteen-year-old telegrapher at
Fortress Monroe caught the click-click of
a call from Newport News.
1.-THE Merrimac is steering straight for
the Cumberland" said the wire from up
the river. Then a pause. The Cumber-
land gives her a broadside." Suspense.
"She keels over" Pause. "Seems to be
sinking" A wat. "No; she comes on
again." Another anxious break. "She has
struck the Cumberland and poured a
broadside into her. Great God, the Cum
berland is sinking!' A breathless suspense.
"The Cumberland has fired her last broad
side"
And thus that faithful operator pictured
every change in that conflict which meant
so much to the nation. Just before the
battle Of Gaines Mills an operator discov-
cred a line of battle being formed and at
tached his instrument to a telegraph wire
running along the road. Fortunately it
communicated with Mcclellan, who re-
garded the incident as a godsend. The
operator stopped the first orderlies who

To keep the skin clean
is to wash the excretions
from it off; the skin takes
care of itself inside, if not
blocked outside.
To wash it often and
clean, without. doing any

quires a most gentle soap,
a soap with no free al

A Summer without Niehts.

10 the summer visitor in Sweden there
is nothing more striking than the almost
total absence of night. At Stockholm,
the Swedish capital, the sun goes down
a few minutes before 10 o'clock and rises
again four hours later during a greater
part OF the month of June. But the four
hours the sun lies hidden in the frozen
north are not hours of darkness-the re.
fraction of his rays as he passes around
the north pole makes midnight as light
as a cloudy midday, and enables one to
read the finest print without artificial
light at any time during the might"

How can you vote for a double action

furrow of tariff reform, civil service and
gold, while the other is pulling the old
Democratic cart in the direction of free
silver and spoils. Between them you do
not know where you will fetch up. When
there was honest, real patriotic work
to be done for the country they both
hired substitutes. Don't vote for sub
