Teach the Children 10 SWIM.

The constant repetition of the re-
ports of accidents by drowning enforces
the thought that much of this loss OF
life in the water could be avoided If
children were taught to swim as
promptly as they are taught to read
and write and to properly care for
themselves IN respect to healthful pre-
cautions.
Every child should be taught to
swim before the age OF twelve or four
teen years. In all the large cities
swimming schools with capable in
structors afford ready and inexpensive
opportunities for teaching children to
swim. Nothing can be more easily
learned. Many children acquire the
accomplishment in a single lesson %
an hour, and very few boys or girls re-
quire more than half dozen lessons
in the hands of a competent instructor
to learn how to swim. Singularly
enough, girls learn more easily than
boys, and when once acquired the &C
complishment is never forgotten, as it
is largely a matter of confidence IN
ones ability to keep ahoat.
Aside from the precautions of safety
involved, we should consider the de
ightful recreation and the healthful
exercise that persons, young and old,
Of both sexes, find in the pastime of
swimming. In moderation it is one of
the most healthful if not the best Of
all summer exercises, and can be en-
ioyed in the still waters of the lakes in
the country and the mountains or In
the rolling pillows of the surf at the
seashOre. 1t is the most inexpensive
of all amusements, the cheapest, the
best, open to all, and the marvel is
that SO few young persons learn to
swim.
It is often observed that the chill
dren of the street who wander about
the wharves and the beach become eX-
pert swimmers, apparently without in
struction, while the pampered sons and
daughters of wealth, who are given all
the benefits OF an elaborate education
and who are favored with all the ac
complishments Of the day are seldom
taught to swim, and these at the sum
mer resorts are often put in peril OF
their lives in emergencies This IS not
as it should be.-New York Mail and
Express.

A TERRIBLE DEATH LIST.
a CYCLONE RAVAGES THE
SOUTHERN COAST.
Scores of Lives Lost at Beaufort and
Port Royal, South Carolina, Sa-
vannah, Ga, and Other Places
Crops Ruined and Buildings De
moIished-Many Vessels Wrecked

Scores of lives were lost in and around
Beaufort and Port Royal, S. c., in the cy
clone that blew through those places at the
rate of 100 miles an hour. The information
was furnished by Mr.. E II. Averill. general
freight and passenger agent of the Charles
ton. Sumter and Northern Railroad. who
brought the first news from Port ROYAL. He
said Port Royal was completely cut of from
the outside world. as all telegraph wires
were down and railroads washed away.
Mr.. AVerill was unable to state the exact
number of lives lost. but said that without
Overestlmating. more than 100 people were
killed and drowned. He himself saw thirty
dead bodies. and others were being recov-
cred and many still missing.
Most of the drowned are negroes. Only
si., whites lost their lives. Thenegroes were
50 frightened and horror-stricken that in
many cases they were killed by failing to de-
sert their shanties and seek places of safety.
Twenty persons were drowned on Paris
Island, a short distance from Beaufort, where
United States naval stores are kept. They
were building a large dry dock. Only two
of these were white men. one a mechanic
engaged on the dry dock and the other
resident physician of the island.
Other white people on the island had most
miraculous escapes. The water swept over
the entire island and carried almost every
thing away. For hours it was between fiji
teen and twenty feet deep, with wind bio "
ing gale.
Several prominent citizens were killed.
There were twenty-five lives lost between
Port Royal and SeabroOk. a small station
only four miles from the harbor. All were
negroes who were plantation hands. One
negro family of seven were lost. and several
other families were wiped out. Three
strangers were drowned. one in Beaufort two
in Port Royal. Their bodies We're recovered
but not identified.
Houses were blown down and carried in
every direction. A large steam pile driver
was carried up the CoosaW River 500 yards
and landed in a marsh. All the dredges of
the COosaw Mining Company were washed
ashore and most of them were injured. The
steamer Pilot Boy of Charleston, which was
tied to the WaterhOuse docks. was swept
away, carrying along a large part of the
dock. The steamer was followed by three
tuSs-Juno. Weymouth and Aliance--aDd
all four boats were swept up on the bluff
and left there high and dry.
Three pilot boats were swept into the
marsh 500 yards from the channel Two
were totally wrecked. The Alma Cumming,
a large boat loading at the Sea Island Chem
zeal Works, was swept from its moorings and
badly injured. The pilot boat Palmetto
tied up at the Port Royal Docks, was blown to
pieces and sunk few yards from her moor
ings. Every house in Port Royal and Beau
tort was damaged
Port Royal is village situated on an isl
and four miles south of Beaufort. and near
Port Royal entrance. It is thirty miles north

Havoc at Savannah.

Almost on the anniversary of the great
hurricane of 1881. Savannah. Ga. has been
swept by one of the severest storms it has
ever known. The storm began cary in the at
ternOon and increased from then until it
reached the climax between eleven and twelve
o'clock at night having blown for eight
hours in a terrific hurricane. 1t began rain
ing early in the morning, but only in gusts.
After the first fail it ceased entirely for sew
eral hours, and did not begin again till af-
ternoon.
Then the work of destruction began and
lasted until the storm had spent its force at
midnight. All the wharves along the river
front and the Ocean Steamship Company
and Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
wharves were under water and the tide was
still rising rapidly.
view of the city at daylight next morn
ing revealed a scene CT wreck and ruin that
surpassed that after the great hurricane
of 1881. The streets were impossible
from debris of fallen trees. Twisted
roofs, masses of bricks and broken tim
bers and branches Of trees were piled across
the sidewalks and in the square. and
broken wires were swinging in every dlrec-
ton. The damage was general, and it is safe
to say it will go to half millions dollars.
Nearly every one. if not quite all, Of the
property owners in the city have been dam
aged to some extent. and some to the amount
Of thousands.
Twelve barks and barkentines which were
anchored at Quarantine station were blown
high and dry upon the marshland. Some of
them were carried by the storm ACROSS the
marsh and on to an island two miles distant
from the station. One of the vessels at TyDee
Island was completely capsized and three of
the club houses on the island were blown
down Others were flooded, and the people
sought shelter wherever they could. The
wires were down and Savannah was almost
entirely shut off from Geographic cOmmuni-
cation.
The ruin at Quarantine is Immeasurable-
Nothing is standing where one of the finest
stations on the South Atlantic stood except
the doctors house. and how this weathered
the fearful gale cannot be explained. The
wharfs gone and the new fumigating
plant. which has cost the city SO much money.
is in the bottom of the sea. A large number
of lives. estimated at all the way from fifteen
to fifty, were lost.
