Deaths From Drowning.

A boy in Long Island sound, who
had been under the water for Is or 90
minutes, and who was given up for
dead by the majority of the specta-
tors, was brought back to life after
two hours Of continued friction, the
application of hot towels and the
modern system of COMPRISING and
expanding the lungs by raising and
lowering the arms of the patient.
This was accomplished by physi-
clan who had made a study of the
matter by reviving people who have
apparently died in the water, and he
was exceedingly persistent and tire
less in his efforts to restore breath to
the boys body.
Toward the end of his exertions
he was looked upon as a fanatic upon
the subject, and all but one of the
people who had SO willingly helped
him at the outset shook their heads
and retired from the work. But the
physician and the old woman kept at
work until the boy breathed family
and was finally fully restored to life.
Then the doctor tumbled over and
tainted from his excessive exertions.
There would seem to be reason to be-
lieve that very large proportion of
the people who are given up as dead
when taken from the water might
be saved if there were few men of
heroism and stamina In the crowd to
keep at the work of resuscitation.

TopPLEn OVER A CLIFF.
The Hairbreadth Escape From Death OF a
English Tourist In Ireland.

English Tourist In Ireland
FL. j. Staff, Liverpool clerk on a
touring trip in Ireland, had a remark
able escape from death at Howth.
One evening he descended by the
grassy slopes which lie some distance
downward from the top of the cliffs
for the purpose of gathering wild
COVERS He was thus engaged at a
point between the Nose of Howth
and the Bailey lighthouse, when he
accidentally missed his footing and
went topping downward. This oc-
Cured at about 5:45 o'clock, and
when he awoke to consciousness
about o'clock, three hours after
ward, Mr.. Staff found himself resting
on platform about a foot wide, ly-
ing between two lodges of rock, and
on which some stones and heritage
had accumulated. The intervening
three hours were passed in merciful
oblivion.
His position was one calculated to
make the stoutest heart quail. Above
him the cliffs lowered to height of
200 feet, while the waves played 100
feet beneath him. Here he was, sus-
pended between heaven and earth,
with only an insecure resting place
intervening between him and almost
certain death. He called for assist
ance, but in vain AS the night wore
on he still continued to call at inter
walls, but still no answer came.
Morning at length broke, and with
it came rescue. About Z o'clock John
Leyland and Andrew Moore, two
fishermen, were engaged in hauling
lobster pots, when the cries from the
cliff reached them. They saw the
awful position of the man on his per-
ilous perch. They rowed the boat to
a point beneath him, and Leyland at
tempted to climb to his assistance,
but in vain. Moore advised him to
return to the boat, and he did so, and
both men rowed to Howth for as
sistance. The knowledge of the com
ing help inspired the poor fellow with
renewed courage.
The fishermen, on arriving at
Howth, acquainted the police with
the state of affairs, and ultimately,
after further exciting scenes, a rescue
party Of coast guardsmen succeeded
in removing the unfortunate man
from his perilous position. No sooner
had they done SO than the platform
of rock came crashing to the foot of
the cliff. Westminster Gazette.
Morris tribune., 1894-09-05

What is the matter with the Demo
cratic party in this state? Is that
grand old party going to pieces on
the rocks of strife and discord? They
have always been a party that could
stand alone and unaided. How are
the mighty fallen! The time has
been when that party would resent
with scorn the offer of help from any
outsiders. What has changed the
situation? The answer is easy as we
look at it. A few years since few
disgruntled politicians that had be-
come SO corrupt that they could not
stay with either of the old parties, cut
loose and organized a party of their
own. Of course, as the child was
born without name, the next thing
to be done was to find an appropriate
name for it. After long search the
author of Caesars Column" donated
a name and the the new party was
christened the Peoples party. I'M
mediately after the naming the child
began to thrive, drawing nourishnent
from both parties and for time it
grew nicely. Bnt the diet was too
rich for the child and it got the big
head and commenced to talk. It
says: 1--WE are the people and must be
respected. Come over to us and we
will gather you under our wing as a
hen does her brood" The Democ-
racy listened to the SIRENS voice and
was tempted; the seeds of discord
had beea sown and now we see the
result. The Democracy is rent in
twain and we who once knew it will
know it no more unless oil be poured
on the troubled waters.

His Educated Palate.

II have such a delicate and educat-
ed palate, impressively said an up
per Broadway swell who claims to
have been a major of artillery in the
Austrian army, that can tell by
the mere taste the name of every
vintage and the year Of bottling of
all the standard wines of Europe.
My palate will reveal the facts as
promptly as if the label were before
me.
The major was in a popular beer
hall slipping from large stein of
lager.
You must have a very delicate
palate, T" said one of the party upon
whom he was inficting his boasts,

of a half bottle of Worcestershire
sauce which 1 poured into your stein
of beer when you first began talk

ATriok of the Trade

There is a little trick in the cigar
business to which some dealers will
confess good naturally if you ask
them about it. The dealers display q
card in a box announcing that the
cigar is sold for 20 cents SO. so a
hundred. The extremely innocent
person would suppose that a dealer
could not expect to sell many of those
cigars at wholesale when a buyer of
100 would save only one-half cent
on each cigar. Well, the dealer
doesn't expect to sell them by whole
sale, and he doesn't sell them, but he
knows that it just tickles a smoker
to death to think that he is getting a
single cigar for practically what it
would cost him if he bought a ship
load Of them. New York Tribune.

AMERICAN HOSPITALITY.
Gilbert Parker Tells EngIishmen of OuE
Home and Army Life.

Home and ARMY AAASs
For private hospitality it is the
same north, south, east and west
genial. free, eager, ample, modified
as to form and manner by class and
place, for there are classes in Amer
lea as defined, if not as broadly de-
fined, as in England I have lived
for DAYS and weeks in all kinds of
American homes, and say unhesi-
tatingly that family affection is the
deepest, best and most noticeable
thing in all that big land. Nine
tenths Of the professional men OF the
country have come from simple
homes, where interests are equal and
common equal and common be-
cause, no matter how rich the father
and mother, the children have, as a
rule, no fortune till the death of the
parents, and nothing then by right,
but only by the good will of the Civ
er. How the American mother hates
sending her boy away to schools
remember talking to one Of the
most fashionable and beautiful wom-
en- Ia New York about her son, and
with tears in her eyes she feared for
his morals and his habits, for the loss
of his deep affection for her and for
his sister. She was probably wrong.
would probably, If left alone, permit
the boy to become ememinate, but it
was an instance of the sweet friend
illness and love to be found in Amer
lean home life. The dinner table of
an American family is as arule, very
informal. It has seldom more than
two courses Wine is seldom seen
save in the larger cities, and then
only among the Weather classes.
The most delightful hospitality in
the United States is TO be found at
the military posts. Here you have
the sublimation Of simple manners,
cordiality and dignifed enjoyment.
In 1885 and 1886 | staid for some
time at Fort Leayenworth, Kan,
and at the preside at San Fran
cisco, and I had this year a hearty
invitation from Old Point Comfort
and Fort Sully, S. D., and twice l
have been to West Point. No mat
ter what an officer Of the American
army may be worth privately, at the
military posts he lives without osten-
tation-indeed as simply SIS all his
brother officers as even as q sub
lieutenant might. They have their
little tea parties, their germans and
phantom dances in the post ballroom,
and they grow to be as like each 9th
er as the officers and their families Of
a French garrison, where each mans
income is known and the cost of hos
pitality is borne by the mess, for
which the government provides.
Here, I repeat, at these military
posts is all that is finest, prettiest,
most commendable in social life In
America. And my cynical brother
Britisher, who joys in putting spokes
in the American wheel, as it were,
would do well not to mistake what
he sees in big hotels as he travels
for American life and people-not
any more than he would mistake
Harpenden races for Sandown.-

Wonderful Memory.

To recall instantly the title and To-
cation on the shelves of any book
named in library of 10, 900 volumes
seems a feat beyond the powers of
memory, even when cultivated by
years of constant exercise, yet it is
performed almost every day by Bun
ford Samuel, assistant librarian of
the Ridgway branch of the Philadel-
phia library, who has been employ
ed at the institution over Is years.
The more obscure the book the less
liable he is to make a mistake in To-
eating it, for generally rare volumes
are impressed on his memory by
some popularity of binding, quaint
ness of title or contents. In the
quest Of annals Of the American Rev
olution, in which branch Of Ameri-
cana the library is richly endowed,
his memory rarely or never fails
him. Philadelphia Record.

Pumping Hot Water.

Water at high temperature cannot
be raised any considerable distances
by suction, as the yapor discharged
from the water so heated follows the
receding pistons of the pump and re-
sists the entrance of the water. Con-
sequently, to pump hot water always
place the supply above the pump, SO
that it will be supplied from head.
