 The public In general and life savers in particular should he warned of the danger snd folly of rolling on s bar rel the bodies of apparently drowned persons This process has never yet helped to resuscitate, though 1t has undoubtedly killed many, half drown cd persons. The idea that it pumps out" the water Is entirely falla- ciOus. In the first place, no water enters the lungs of a drowned man tln he has been absolutely dead for many hours. In the second. the re- mOvsl of water from the stomach Is quite q secondary consideration com pared with the importance of re-estab- fishing the action of heart and lungs, ant rolling a body on a barrel is about the surest way of preventing both heart and lungs from resuming their normal functions. Artificial expansion and contraction of the chest by alter nately stretching the arms above the head and compressing the chest with them is the correct first aid to the ap- parently drowned, but never can roll ing on a barrel be anything but dele terious.-New York Times.

Picking Peanuts.

The seeds of the peanut are planted like beans, and when the vines have come up and the nuts are ready for harvesting the farmer takes culti- vator especially made for that pur- pose and starts down the long rows. On either side of this cultivator are two long knives which sink into the ground sufficiently to cut the taproot of the vine. The same process is gone through with on the other side of the vine. The main root being thus sev- cred and the ground loosened, the vines are lifted into shocks like corn. They are cured by allowing them to stand in the sun for about ten days, when a coIored woman and children are sent into the field to pick the nuts from the vines. An average picker will pick about five bushels day, for which he is paid at the rate of 10 cents a bushel.

Presidential Condolences.

John Adams was eight years older than his successor, Thomas Jefferson; he eight years older than James Madi- son; he eight years older than James Monroe, and he eight years older than John Q. Adams. George Washington ended his term as president in his sixty fifth year, and so, too, did John Adams. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same day, July 4, 1926, exactly fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. One other president, James Monroe, died on July 4. His death oc- cured in 1881.
