put under him to raise his chest up,
with head hanging over as in the pic
rture. Then kneeling at the head,
bring the boys elbows almost together
just below the chest. Press firmly
and count two then spread out the
arms to form a circle, bringing them
together again over 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 of the time just below
the wrist
Keep this upconstantly till the boy
begins to gasp. One boy can relieve
another, as the motion is tiresome,
but be careful the next boy begins
just where the other lett off so as
not to interfere with the movements.
Don't be discouraged if no signs of
life appear after long working. Hours
of artificial breathing have sometimes
been passed before the natural breath
ing returned.
or course, this knowledge will only
be needed in cases where the doctor
or other person skillful in reviving
the drowned is at hand, but every
boy should practice the movement
till he is confident, and then, if called
upon in an emergency, if he will be
cool and keep his wits about him, he
may have the highest Of all privileges
the saving of a human life.

The Pythian University for the
Order Universal, now being erected
at Gallatiu, Tenn, will be the only
authorized Pythian school in the
country, it is said, The building is
to be four stories in height, sur

frontage is to be 200 feet and the
width 1870 feet, The material will
be polished stone.
The main entrance will lead to u
spacious rotunda, from which hand
some marble stairway is to wind up
ward to the floors above. In the
basement will be large hall, from
which easy access may be had to the
society halls on the first floor. The

The Rival of Coal.

There is no doubt that the time
will come when coal as fuel will be
supplanted by other fuels, more easily
handled and freer from the effects
and Inconvenience that make coal
unsatisfactory. Thevolumesof smoke
that cloud our streets, the space re-
quired for the storage Of coal, the
force required for handling 1t, are so
many causes for dropping 1t when
other fuel can be supplied as cheaply
to do as good work. The heat force
OF the future will undoubtedly be
electricity, but before It's day oil will
take the place of coal. 1t was used
at the Worlds Fair, and the Scien-
tltlc American says of IL:
"Durlng the period the Exposition
remained open, the main boiler plant
consumed 1O,6l4,4 gallons, or a.
800, S05 pounds of oil for generating
steam; developing the aggregate en-
ergy Of 80, 3l5, 904 horsepower hours,
at the cost of 03 mills per horse
power hour The contract price for
the oil delivered in the Exhibition
tanks was seventy-two and one-half
cents per barrel of forty.two United
States standard gallons. The boiler
house force and equipment comprised
30 burners, atomi2lng oil beneath
tlfty-two boilers, with standard
rating of about $1,000 horsepower,
and attended by STAFF OF forty-two
men divided into three eight-hout
shifts. The saving in cost Of both
fuel and labor for the oil fuel, as
compared with coal Of fair quality at
market price for large quantities, is
apparent. An equivalent consump-
tion of 500 to 800 tons of coal per day
would have been necessary, so that
for the duration of the Exhibition
70, 900 tons of coal would have been
needed, and Mr. Foster remarked
that lit would be difficult to imagine
how this vast amount of coal would,
in the limited space available, have
been handled eXpeditlously and with
out endangerlng life and property
The saving to the Exhibition by the
use of oil fuel was about twenty
seven per cent as compared with the
estimated cost of coal, including the
labor Of handling"

parently llfeless body to the waters
edge, however, death has more than
once followed because nobody knew
the right thing to do and no doctor
was within quick reach, Here are a
few simple rules from the New YORK
Times that any boy or girl Of II or IA
can understand, and which should be
carefully read over and learned. 1t
may mean life some day, boys
yours or another's.
Drowning, you know, is suffoca-
ton; 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 a barrel is not on every
shore, and another boys back, held in
the leap-trog position, will do.
Then put finger down the throat
and try to get more water If the
unconscious boy still shows no sign 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 into a roll and

WASTING WESTERN FORESTS.
Havoc Wrought by Lumbermen Who Sway

Havoc Wrought by Lumbermen Who Sway
Power that is Autocratic.
A Western lumber expert declares
that almost the whole forest area Of
the country is now in the possession
of men who are ruthlessly despoiling
it of trees. Il have been appalled,, )"
he said to writer for the New York
Evening Post, "Dy the havoc that
has laid millions Of acres bare by ak
and flood and flames, changing the
reserve treasure spots of the people
into unsightly wildernesses. " The
few square miles Of forest reserved
by the Federal Government and the
States here aud there he regards as
mere drops in the bucket. Drawing
picture of the immense personal
power of the lumber king of the
Northwest, he says: "The land is his
and the product thereof; the mills
and water power are his; the stores
and necessaries of existence are his;
the cattle and horses are his; and
all the people are his retainers and
servants: the veal or woe of the
community is weighed in his hand,
the happiness of many families
trembles at his word" Admitting
that numbering operations have in
creased the population and built up
towns and settlements, he points
out that the work has been waste
full and a criminal one. Even the
most ordinary MEANS" he says,
"would have prevented the loss of
millions of trees by fire and many
years of labor and life, for communi-
ties have been lost forever in the i'm
mense piles Of slabs, refuse, sawdust
and ashes that surround and overlie
hundreds of milling plants. Stock

81 saw a man saved from life i'm
prisonment or hanging once by the
one wise man on a Jury who stood
out against eleven fools, said T. j.,
Stephens, Of Baltimore. "The man
was found standing over a dead body
in d field with a knife in his haGd,
and blood smeared over his clothes.
He swore he had found the man ly-
ing dead and had drawn the knife
from the wound where the murderer
had left it sticking 1t was shown
that the men were enemies, and that
the accused had even threatened re-
peatedly to kill him. On this and
other circumsta evidence eleven
of the jury were for conviction. The
foreman alone stood out, and SO stead
fastly that at length, one by one, the
others joined him and the prisoner
was acquitted. Many thought the
man guilty, and he finally left the
country because Of the cold shoulder
he got from old friends. Years afUer-
ward, when the foreman of the jury
was dying, he acknowledged that he
killed the man himself. 1t was in
sell-defenso, but he had no witness
to prove it. When the innocent man
was arrested he managed to get on
the jury, determined to save him,
and he said if he had been unable to
do so otherwise he would have told
the truth. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

Only Partially Domosticarod Yet.

Although long a captive, and for
ages, perhaps, the most serviceable of
all the creatures which man has won
from the wilds, the camel is still
only partially domesticated having
never acquired even the small meas
ure Of affection for his master which
we find in the other herbivorous ami
mails which have been won to the
service of man. The obedience which
he renders is but dull submission
to inevitable toll. The intelligence
which he shows is very limited. and
so far as l can judge from the ac-
counts of those who have observed
him, there is but little variation in
his mental qualities. AS a whole,
the creature appears to be innately
the dullest and least improbable of
al our servitors. -Scribner's.

To Make a Ball that Bounces.

Boys who are always losing their
balls can make them themselves.
Take a common cork and cut it as
round as possible, making 1t the size
Of an ordinary marble. Then tear off
very narrow strips of rag and wind
these, one at time, around the cork
until the ball is of the desired size.
Then cover 1t with cloth, or If a boy
is fortunate enough to have an oblg-
ing sister she will make a cover Of
crewels by dividing the ball into
quarters, winding the wool several
times around it, then buttonholing
the quarters all round one-half, then
the other half, till an edge is formed
on each side of each quarter, then
buttonholing with any colors Of wool
till the quarters are quite filled up,
when seam finishes them, and a
capital ball is the result, costing
nothing to make, but really service
able.
