from the carriage to the shop.

Saved hy Thrcr Rows.

Three boys of P!ainlicld. y. j.. should
be honored with the humane society's
medal for saving two little girls from
drowning. The New Work Tribune
thus relates the story of the rescue:
Mamie Long and Florence Wilson.
two little girls. had Il narrow escape
from being drowned in Tiers Lake.
There is Il raceway from the pond to
the mill. a short distance away. The
gates were open to allow the water to
flow into the race and thus relieve the
pressure OH the dam.
The children gathering wild
flowers. Attracted by the rush OF wat.
er through the ace. they stepped upon
a plank which projected over the cn.c
of the lake, and it tipped over, and
both girls vent into the water directly
i'll front of the race.
Harry Boyd, Il colored lad. witnessed
the accident. He and Tommy and Will
lie Martin hurried to the spot. There
was nothing to be seen of the girls,
and the boys concluded they had been
carried into the race. III which case an
attempt at rescue was useless.
\ moment later Mamie Long came to
the surface. One of the boys plunged
in. although he ram the risk of being
caught in the race and carried down.
He aided the girl to the bank, where
she seized the framework Of the gates
and was drawn out.
Florence Wilson did not rise. so Boyd,
who had thrown off his clothing. plung-
ed in. He found her near the gateway,
under ten feet Of water, and brought
her to the surface. She quickly re-
vived. To-day both girls are appar
entity no worse for their adventure.

ing. Take a gallon crock, scatter q
layer of salt over the bottom, then
about two inches of corn and one inch
Of salt alternately, until the crock Is
full. Every layer Of corn must be pack
ed down solid with a potato masher or
something similar. Over the whole put
a saucer or small weight, to keep the
corn under the brine. 1t will keep thus
until corn comes again, as fresh and
sweet as when first put up. When

the corn, rinse with cold water several
times, to take out salt, and let soak over
night. When sufficiently freshened.
