Howard's Method Of Artificial Respira-
tion.
We think it advisable at this sea
son to direct attention to the follow
ing rules for resuscitating the parti-
ally drowned:
1. Instantly turn patient down
ward with large firm roll of clothing
under stomach and chest. Place one
of his arms under his forehead so as
keep his mouth off the ground.
Press with all your weight two or
three times for four or five seconds,
each time, upon patients back so
that the the water is pressed out of
the lungs and stomach, and drains
freely out of mouth Then,
2. Quickly turn patient, face up
ward, with roll of clothing under
back, just below the shoulders blades
and make the head hang back as
low as possible. Place patient s
hands above his head Kneel with
patients hips between your knees,
and fix your elbows firmly against
your hips Now, grasping the lower
part of PATIENTS chest, squeeze his
two sides together, pressing gradu-
ally forward with all your weight,
for about three seconds, until your
mouth is nearly over the mouth of
the patient then with a push, sud
denly jerk yourself back. Rest for
three seconds then begin again, re-
peating these bellows blowing
movements with perfect regularity,
so that foul air may be pressed out
and pure air be drawn into the lungs
about eight or ten times a minute,
for at least an hour, or until the pa
tient breathes naturally.

STRAWBERRY JELLY.-A cores
pondent writes of difficulty in max
ing strawberry jelly firm. In most
cases jelly of sweet fruit refuses to

is the chemical union of sugar and
acid which makes jelly, and if
the acid is absent the union cannot
take place. Try strawberries which
are still trifle under ripe and use
the recipe given here: Put the
berries into a stone jar, stand this
in cold water, and, closely covered,
boil till the berries are soft. Squeeze
a few at a time through the straine1
or the jelly bag. Allow to each
pint of juice one pound of granula-
ted sugar. Put the juice to boil
again over hot fire; put the sugar
into earthen dishes and heat
thoroughly in the oven. After the
juice has boiled hard for twenty
minutes add the hot sugar-stirring
well till it is all dissolved. When
the liquid boils again pour into tum.
blers previously heated and put on
the lids. These directions have
never been known to fail if the fruit
was not over-ripe.

"The evils of the cigarette habit
are manifold. Most of our habitual
truants we find to be cigarette fends.
Many and many bright lad has had
his will power weakened, his moral
principle sapped, his nervous sys
TEN wrecked, and his whole life
spoiled before he was teen
years old by the detestable cigarette.
Too much stress cannot be laid on
the deterioration of the moral prin-
ciple of a lad given to this pernicious
habit. The Cigarette fiend" in

will commit petty thefts to get mon
