LITTLE BOY SAVES THREE,
Hero of Ten Years Pulls PIaymates Out
of the Water.

Through the heroism of Jimmie Quick, a
lad of ten years, the lives of three little
boys, ranging from five to nine years old,
were saved from drowning in UnderhIll
Pond, in Hudson, N. Y.
The ice gave way while the lads were
riding on hand sleds, and they all fell in
the water.
Young Quick, who had been skating near
by, heard their cries for help and hurried
to the srot. He threw himself upon his
breast, and crawling to the edge of the
hole, with a skinny stick" succeeded in
pulling the three lads, one after the other,
out OF the water to a place of safety.
Chester Thornton, age five, had gone
down twice, and it was with the greatest
exertion and at the risk Of his own life that
quick inaily pulled him out. An applica.
tion Will be made to the Volunteer Life
Saving Corps at Washington to present to
young quick medal for his brave deed.

A Universal Word.

One of the first words that a baby
says is mamma or mother, and it is
not strange, therefore, to find it one
of the first and simplest words in every
language. There is no word easier for
child to say than ''ma'' unless it be
''pa." In Hebrew and Arabic mother
is "em" and ''am;" it is imam" in
Welsh and "modor" in Anglo-Saxon.
In other languages it is slightly differ
ent, but near enough like our own
word mother to make it an almost
universal word, so that a child crying
in any language could be understood
in almost any other language. Here
are few of the names:
Madr in Persian. Moder in Swedish.
Matr in Sanscrit. Moder in Danish.
Meter in Greek. Moeder in Dutch.
Mater in Latin. Mutter In German.
Madre in italian. Mater in Russian.
Mere in French. Mathair In Celtic.
