Drowning Accidents.
simple Rules for Resuscitating Per-
son Rescued from the Water---TimeIy
SuuResUiOns.

simple Rules for Resuscitating n Per-
son Rescued from the Water---Timely
Suggestions.
Everyone ought to know how to restore
a half-drowned companion to consciousness
and life. Boys 60 in swimming in groups
usually, and if one goes beyond his depth,
or becomes exhausted, it is an easy matter
often for another boy to effect his rescue.
When he has got the apparently lifeless
body to the waters edge, however, death
has more than once followed, because no.
body knew the right thing to do and no doc
tor was within quick reach. Here are few
simple rules, that any boy or girl of II or
II can understand, and which should be
carefully read over and learned:
Drowning, you know, is suffocatiOn, the
lungs fill with water, and there is no room
for air SO the first thing is to turn the body
on its face, and then by rolling it back and
forth over anything which will lift the
chest off the ground, spill out as much
water from the mouth and nose as possible.
A barrel is a good thing, but barrel is not
on every shore, and another boys back,
held in the leap-frog position, will do.
Then put finger down the throat and try
to get out more water.
II Jne UNCONSCIOUS BOY SIlH SHOWS no
signs of breathing artificial respiration,
or imitation breathing, should be begun.
This is very simple thing to do when you
have once learned how. Put the boy on
his back, with a couple of jackets made in
to roll and put under him, to raise his
chest up, with head hanging over; then,
kneeling at the head, bring the boys ell
bows almost together, just below the chest.
Press firmly and count two, then spread
out the arms to form a circle, bringing
them together again above his head, and
count two more. Back again to the chest,
pressing firmly, and counting two each
time, keeping hold of the boys arms all
the time, Just below the wrist Keep this
up constantly till the boy begins to gasp.
One boy can relieve another, as the motion
is tiresome-but be careful the next boy be-
gins just where the other left off, so as not
to interfere with the movements. Don't
be discouraged if no signs of life appear
after long work. Hours of artificial breath
ing have sometimes been passed before the
natural breathing returned. OF course
this knowledge will only be needed in cases
where the doctor or other person skillful in
reviving the drowned is not at hand, but
every boy should practice the movements
till he is confident, and then, if called up
on in an emergency, if he will be cool and
keep his wits about him, he may have that
highest of all priyileges-the saving of a
human ife.-Ne,c York Times.

Twenty Thousand Deaths IA Year from
Snake Bites,

Altogether about 20, 900 persons die each
year in India from the bites of the various
snakes | have mentioned, and it is no eX-
aggeratiOn to say that some 90 of Queen
Nictorla's subjects, who were alive and
well yesterday, are today being burnt or
buried out here as a sequel to these acct
dents. The same will happen to morrow
and the next day, and at least one death
from similar causes may be expected to
occur every half hour between now and the
time that the readers of McClure's Maya
zine perusc what ! have written. Mortal
ity of this magnitude is a terrible thing,
though the fact must be remembered that
it is distributed among a population four
times as large as that of the United States,
and thus passes to "A great extent unno-
ticed.
The casualties are confined almost en-
tirely to the poorer and more ignorant ma
tives, who habtually 90 about with bare
feet. For, although creatures like the
hamadryas and the echis are occasionally
spelling for a fight, as a general rule
a snake is no more anxious to be trod-
den upon than a man is to tread upon it.
The consequence is that people who wear
boots are hardly ever bitten. This is not
so much because of the protection of the
leather as on account of the noise made by
boot upon the ground, which warns the
| snake to get out of the way.
The British government does what it
can to get rid Of poisonous snakes. Large
rewards are paid annually for their heads,
and in this way great numbers are de-
stroyed. Attempts are constantly being
made to clear away the rubbish which ac-
cumulates around village sites, and thus to
reduce the shelter in which these creatures
breed. As yet, however, hardly any APP
| precable effect has been produced. Year
after year the tale of deaths remains I'M
| diminished, and fresh snakes appear as
fast as their predecessors are killed off. Ii
! the people themselves would only cooper
ate vigorously with the authorities in kill
ing snakes, the task of dealing with the
problem would be greatly facilitated.
Strangely enough, however, snakes in gen
eral, and the deadly coUras in particular,
are regarded in India with supersttiOus
reverence akin almost to worship. Com
paratively few natives of India, in spite Of
the temptation of reward, will kill a
snake willingly. On the contrary, it is no
uncommon thing for them to enc )uragC
the creatures about their houses by feeding
them with milk and eggs. In this wa!
villages are TO be found where poisonous
snakes fairly swarm. -McClUre'S Maya

the race in 2;114, 2:12, 2:11t. He is still
nigh in flesh. When thoroughly fit mark
of 2:OS or better is sure to follow.

start, on the Springfield track Wednesday

The Barre races, which took place Satur-
day were very successful. Combs started
in four races but failed to land prize,
