LEARN TO SWIM.

Perhaps not everyone has the OPP
portunity of learning to swim. the
number OF drownings at least proves
that larger proportion of people are
unable 70 propeI themselves through
water beyond their depth IL parents
are unwilling that their children shall
run the risk attendant upon learning
to swim they should at least be willing
that their boys and girls become ac-
quainted with certain precautionary
measures which may result in saving
Of life If accident occurs by which
they are thrown into deep water, says
the Cedar Rapids Gazette. One simple
rule may be followed, whether or not
one has mastered the art Of swim
ming:
Keep the mouth closed and the
hands under water
II one follows this precept and re
tains hfs presence of mind IT is said
that there practically is no possibility
Of drowning for at least period OF
many minutes. long enough time In
most instances, for rescue TO come
Threading water is simply the perform
ance of the same motions as employ.
ed in walking, and keeping the hands
with open palms. in backward and for
ward motion.
! The necessity of being able to take
care OF oneself in deep water Is not
less in localities where there is nc
large body OF water but treacherous
small stream, than near a great lake
or large river.

THE EXCEPTIONAL EmpLoYE.

The exceptional empioye is the one
who looks upon his employers inter

TO make man OF himself, to snow

and who IS always preparing himself
to fill a still higher position
The exceptional employe is one VINO
never says. 'I was not raid TO 90
that II don't get salary enough TO
work after hours or TO take so mucn
pains" He never leaves things half
done, but does things to finish, says
the Burlington Gazette The e1eep'
ItionaI empIoye is the one who studies
his employers business, who reads
his literature, who is always on the
watch for every improvement which
others in the same line have adopted
and which his employer has not, VINO
is constantly improving himself dur
ing his spare time for higher posi-
