Rules for Bathers.

Fro,n the number of deaths by
drowning reported in Vermont during
the recent period of extremely hign
temperature we feel assured that tne
repetition of a few simple rules TOT
bathers will not be amiss, The New
York Sun saws that nine out of ten
drowning accidents among batners
NAV be traced back either to Ignorance
of these rules or reckless disregard
of them. They are as follows:
Never go into the water when over
heated or soon after eating. Inc
careful physician would probably in
sist upon an interval of at least two
hours between meal and bath; one
hour is a fair compromise between
zeal and prudence, and half hour
the minimum for safety. Finally
don't enter the water timidly ana by
degrees, but boldly and with plunge:
wetting the whole body at once. II
one is not able to dive in. he snouio
wade in to knee depth. then wet MS
head thoroughly and plunge In bodily'
The Sun adds that self-control and
presence of mind. when in distress In
the water, are the essential means OF
salvation. and this is as true in the
water as in many other conditions
elsewhere With confidence one can
float almost indefinitely, with very lit
tle muscular exertion. 1t is worth
while to keep these rules in mind dur
ing the summer outing. They may
save life.

John Hyde. recently resigned chief
of the bureau of statistics at washing
ton, may be an honest man but his
letter of resignation and the fact that
under his nominal chieftainship graft
of the most pronounced character -four
ished undetected by him proves that
he was not master of the situation.
His example. in promptly resigning
regardless of the effect Of such action
upon his own interests. is one which
should be followed by all public OFF,

agement is proved to exist. If not dis

negligent and the public service de-

Only a Step Further.

I, is true that actions speak more

The Londonderry Sitter says that
the startling developments OF the
state prison situation which have been
promised the public have not startled
anyone yet The testimony given be-
fore the committee at Bellows Falls
recently. as we read it. indicated either
that there had been systematic and
long continued graft and mismanage-

someone was deliberately lying. But
perhaps little things of this sort do
not startle the Sitter.
