Every boy-and every grown per-

how to restore half-drowned COM
panion to consciousness and life.
Boys go In swimming In groups usu-
ally, and IL one goes beyond his depth
or becomes exhausted 1t is an easy
matter often for another boy to effect
his rescue. When he has got the APP
parently lifeless 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 IL 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-
tion: 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 1t back and forth
over anything which will lift the
chest of 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-frog position, will do.

American Masnificenee.

Without making much fuss about
it, a large number of foreigners Of
rank and title are visiting American
friends at their summer residences,
and otherwise looking round" at
this country and its institutions.
Passing by some of these strangers
criticisms on the present state Of
affairs, it is amusing to note the sur
prise the mode of living here creates
in intelligent minds accustomed to
much simpler forms Of wealth at
home. Count Nympsche, German
friend of Prince Hatzfeldt, who mar
ried the daughter of G. p. Hunting
ton, expresses the liveliest astonish-
ment at such an establishment as the
Huntingtons occupy for other than
royalty. He says there is no luxury
or magnificence to compare with that
seen in private houses in America
anywhere from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and his opinion is echoed by
foreigners of other nationality, as
well as by our so-called English
cousins. A well-known lady, who
has made Berlin her home for mary
years, returned to her native land
last spring to find such an Aladdin
like change that she says it has al
most made her silly. mo one in
Germany, at least, dreams of the ex-
tent Of this moneyed aristocrasy,
she paused-'I hate that phrase,
and withdraw it! But it surprises
me to see luxury where 1 left mere
comfort only twenty years ago. The
emperor is not housed half so well as
some of my acquaintance in their
summer places" The frugal Ger
man appears to be most touched by
American progress in the weird art of
living up to big income. i Boston

Tree Planting Society.

"We have a society in Brooklyn
that could be initiated with much
profit in Washington" said G. f.
Beckner, of the City OF Churches,
at the Riggs House yesterday. 1T
is known as the Tree Planting So
ciety, but it pursues great many
Iother objects besides the mere set
ting out of trees. The members are
pledged to guard and protect the trees
on or in front of their own premises
and to use their influence with their
neighbors to the same purpose. 1t is
common sight in Brooklyn, now, to
see householder in the evening or
the morning carefully removing the
little white masses OF eggs OF
the tussock moth or yellow caterpil-
lar from the shade trees as well as
from the fences and window caves and
other places where they are deposit
ed. These caterpillars are spinning
their cocoons, and their eggs will be-
gin to hatch out about the 10Th of
next month. l have observed several

investigation to discover the eggs in
profusion. There has been system
adopted by the Tree Planting So
ciety of Brooklyn which promises to
accomplish splendid results in pre-
venting the ravages of the pest. The
residents of each block where men,
bers of the society reside unite for
the purpose of removing the cocoons
and eggs from the trees and fences
over which they have supervision. 1t
is believed persistent observance of
this custom will lead to the final ex-
termination of the caterpillar. Wash
ington has the finest shade trees in
the world, and | should think that
the pride of its people would inspire
them to take the trouble necessary
to prevent the beauty of their trees
from being spoiled by the ugly and

Fox three years we have seen that
the consumption by Europe alone Of
imported breadstuffs amounts to over
900,0 quarters per week, or, il the
ex- European demands be added, to
nearly 1000, 600 quarters per week for
the whole world. This is vast guam
tity of stuff to be handled with I'M
falling regularity and dispatch, and
the mind recoils from the thought of
what would happen should there be
any let or hindrance in the delivery
of Europe's daily bread, say for a few
months, owing to real crop failure
in America, or great war. 1t is only
q few years ago when the total con-
sumption of the world of imported
wheat was reckoned at about half
this quantity, but year by year West
ern Europe is becoming more and
more dependent upon extraneous help
in furnishing not only her staff Of
life but feeding stuffs of all sorts.

fuse and pitched it into the water
He had not before discovered the
presence of his faithful dog that stood
by his side eagerly watching each
movement his master made. The in
slant Mr. Sunderland pitched the
explosive into the water the dog
dashed in after it, and by going under
the water a short distance he seized
the dynamite stick In his mouth and
swan to shore. He considered it a
repetition OF the same sport he had
often before enjoyed, and his idea
was to return the object to his
master.
Mr.. Sunderland quickly discovered
that this would never do, and he ran
to fence near by, with the dog close
on to him with the dangerous stuff
in his mouth. John succeeded in
getting on the fence, and would
likely have been blown to atoms had
not the explosion occurred before the
dog got dangerously close. AS it
was, big hole was torn out OF the
earth and the fence blown down for
rods near by, but the man was not
seriously injured. The dog needed
no funeral, as not enough OF him
could be found to make decent
grease spot. Mr.. Sunderland will
satisfy himself with hook and line In
the future.

THERE have been droughts and
droughts in this country, and some
of them became historic. The most
prolonged and disastrous visitation
of that kind within the last half GEN.
fury occurred in July, August, and
September, 1881, affecting nearly the
whole country east Of the Mississippi
River. During July and August 1t
was also severe in Kansas and Arkan-
sas. The rainfall was from oDe-eighth
to one fourth the normal quantity,
and the heat was correspondingly in
tense. AS result, wells, springs, and
streams, that had never before gone
dry, were exhausted, and rivers went
below the low water mark. Water
was so scarce that factories were
shut down, and on some OF the rail-
roads freight trains were delayed by
lack Of water for the engines.

Escap, from a Geyser.

A Montana paper tells of the won.
derful escape of young man from a
geyser, into which he had fallen.
His companions, who were watching
his movements, shrieked rs they saw
him fall. They Immediately pro-
cured light aud lowered IL into
the crater for as great distance as
they could with the means at their
command.
Nothing could be seen; but by
dropping pebbles and bits Of wood.
they discovered that at the depth of
about fifty feet the crater was filled
with water. They gave him up for
lost and with sad hearts left the
scene.
They carried the news to the near
est village, but before any steps could
be taken to rescue their companion
be appeared among them alive.
He stated that he fell into the
water feet foremost and quickly rose
to the surface and caught hold of a
projecting rock, by which he sup
ported himself The water was warm
and buoyant and soon began to rise
rapidly.
AS he rose with it he grasped the
rocks that xltted out from the sides
until he was able to crawl out just
as the water became very hot, when
he tainted Oh the edge of the crater
from sheer exhaustion. Such an ex-
perience Is said to be without q par

A Costly Bed.

A Bombay man has constructed q
bed-stead priced at 10000 rupees. 1t
has at it's four corners four full-sized
gaudily dressed Grecian damsels-
those at the head holding banjos,
while those on the right and left
feet hold fans. Beneath the cot is q
musical box, which extends along
the whole length Of the cot, and is
capable of playing twelve different
charming airs. The music begins
the moment the least pressure is
brought to bear from the top, which
is created by one sleeping or sitting,
and ceases the moment the individ-
ual rises.
While the music is in progress the
lady banjoists at the head manipu-
late the strings with their fingers
and move their heads, while the two
Grecian damsels at the bottom fan

The heroine Of fiction is general,

THE heroine Of fiction is generally
a type of the day. This year she Is o
clever, beautiful, bloodless creature,
who at twenty-five is bored to death
with everything except mountain
storms, scientific studies, and sui
cides. She has ceased to bea chat
terer; she speaks only in epigrams.
She is not given to tears; but once
in seven hundred pages her body is
shaken with great, fearless sobs.
She is not flirt; she is cold, indiffer-
ent-very often absolutely rude. She
beats the record for eccentricity; she
drives tandem, smokes, goes out at
night in ball costume, refuses to bear
the burden Of matrimony, and OBJ
jects to her husband having past
an article which used to be con-
sidered almost indispensable. Her
source of income is not mentioned,
but 1T comes in apparently with
beautiful regularity. In spite of her
eccentricities and tandems, and play
ing the mischief generally, she gets
along all right, and when she COM
mits suicide, it is not because she is
not having good time, but because
she is not going to accept her good
time with the complacency that an
ordinary woman would. She objects
to be happy like ordinary cabbage
rose women; so she takes laudanum
out of pure cussedness. What will
the next type be like? Our novels
used to end with marriage; now they
begin with it. Our heroines of the
past year have been all married
women: maidens are out of 1t. Why
not take up the middle-aged woman
next, and invest her with some ro-
nance? She would be change.

unconscious boy still shows no sign Of
breathing, artificial respiration or
imitation breathing should be begun.
This is a very simple thing to do
when you have once learned how.
Put the boy on his back with a
couple of jackets made into roll and
put under him to raise his chest up,
with head hanging over as in the pic
ture. 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 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 up constantly 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.
OF 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
