All the time it's very important to
tell him he's all right, and not to be
afraid. y person that doesn't get
scared in the water and who has
sense enough not to waste his breath

III a hurry anyway. If your lungs
are kept pretty full Of air you can't
sink. Everybody who knows how to
float knows that.
When you don't know how to float,
your head is apt TO go under and you
begin to gulp water. But just a
little "dog-paddling" with the hands
under your chin will keep you head
out Of water, if you keep your lungs
we'll filled with air. You'll be sur
priscd how easy it Is. Try it some
time.
There's another good way of taking
hold of n drowning person. Instead
of grabbing him by the chin when
you reach over his shoulder, put that
hand under his arm-pit. Then you
turn him over on his back toward
you. turning on your own back at the
same time and putting your other
hand under his other arm-pit.

on your chest, and he can't do any

he is. OF course, in this position
you have only your legs to swim
with. But, with good strong kicks
and the shears notion" you can
push along at good speed and bring
your man out safely.
You hear lot Of silly stuff about
the drowning mans death grip"
Papa says there's no such thing
and he knows. Before a drowning
man realizes it he's apt to become
unconscious. Even if he has grabbed
you his grip relaxes then. And It's
easy to tow back an unconscious
person.
Go on saving him just the same.
He may look drowned for keeps, but

told me all about-will force the

hundred-pound man by taking him by

the arm-pits. That position forces
you deeper down in the water than
the chin hold, and before you got
him to land you might swallow some
water yourself.
That's about all I can think Of
just now about saving drowning per-
sons. But could say lot about
the foolishness Of going and getting
drowned at all. Cats hate the water,
and never get into it if they can
help it. But if cat falls into the
water for the first time in its life,
what does it do? Why, it goes ahead
and uses its legs the same as if it
was on land-and swims like fish,
without any lessons.
Papa says that if we ran around
on four feet instead Of just two, we'd
swim as naturally as all animals do.
Rut we can use our hands in the
water in-stinct-iyely, as dogs use
their fore paws, and keep our heads
up that way. DO it-and the first
thing you know you're kicking out
with your feet at the same time and
swimming well enough to keep from
drowning in few minutes, when
you fall overheard.
Of course, with us humans real
good swimming is more artificial
than with animals; all the same it's
lot easier than doing sums and
fancy embroidery.

he's pretty sensible and not too
cared You can swim alongside and
tell him to grab hold Of the collar Of
your bathing suit. That will hold his
head up while you tow him in.
If he's too scared to have any
sense you've got to be careful and
look ont for yourself. Sometimes
person who's in that fix will whirl
around in the water and face You
when you're trying to come up be-
hind him. What you do in that case
is to swim by just out of his reach
and grab him by the wrist that's
nearest to you. Then you can pull
his arm around as you circle up to
his side to throw your other arm
over his shoulder and get your hand
under his chin.
When you've got a good grip on
him this way, You can keep his head
out of water while swimming with
both feet and your other arm. If
he's not too far gone, he'll begin to
see that you're going to save him,
and won't make any more trouble.

it, to come up from behind and grab

FRENCH AND ENGLISH
TO DISAPPEAR FROM
GERMAN STREET SIGNS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence)
Berlin, April 9-The reform propos-
ed by the police in abolishing street
signs, or other inscriptions in French
and English is intended to be very
thorough. Even the signs ION parle-
francois" French spoken, and Eng
lish spoken here" often seen on shop
windows, are to be taboo.
Shopkeepers will not be permitted
to announce that they are 'purvey-
ors to His Majesty the King Of Eng
land" or Of any other hostile court,
measure which will require the re-.
moval Of hundreds of elaborate signs.
BARRIERS will still be permitted to call
themselves 'friseur," but the word
must be spelled German fashion,
'frisoer." Other barbershop signs,
however. will have to go, including
'ondulation,' "cotffeur," manicure"
''pedicure," etc :
For the word ''parfuemerie" per
fumery), the word "DufterZeugnisse"
literally. fragrance products" is pro-.
posed. The word grand" is forbidden
to hotels, restaurants, cafes, etc. For
"kostumes" (the Germans spell it
with a Ky "Jackenkleider' is pro-
posed as a substitute. The reforms
proposed will be carried through by
argument and persuasion, if possible,
but if this fails, the extensive power
of the police will be resorted to. :

ception Of the bridge at Quebec. The

meet the American Railway system

portant Canadian railways and will

edly develop into a through summer

AS showing the great necessity
from bushes standpoint of this
connection between the American
and the Canadian railway systems
the Commercial has learned from va
rious sources that one American lum-
Der manufacturing concern, without
waiting for the actual opening of the
bridge. has constructed a large lun-
Der mill in Canada on the line Of the
Transcontinental Railway. near St
Leonard, with a view Of USING that
outlet TO Boston for the product of
the mill; another numbering concern
has bought hundreds of carloads Of
logs on the line Of the International
Railway, to be brought over as soon
as possible to be sawn into lumber
on the American side; the proprietor
Of this mill states that ne is so anx-
ious for these logs that ne will have

quantities Of pulpwood in New Bruins

completion Of this connection is one
OF the most important commercial
events that has taken PLACE in the

Bangor Commercial. April &c, 1870
The international railway bridge
between Van Buren,, Maine. and St.
Leonard, New Brunswick, is now rap
idly approaching completion and pro-
vided that the Public Utilities Com
mission of Maine and the Board Of
Railway Commissioners for Canada
approve of the work, its expected TO
have the formal opening the latter
part OF this week; for an enterprise
Of such magnitude. the construction
has proceeded very quietly and with
out os1entation and few people have
been aware. or at least have realized
that such an extensive work and one
of such Importance to the State Of
Maine was being steadily constructed
in spite of the rigors Of q northern
Maine winter
The advantages of the connection
that will be afforded by this bridge
can really only be realized by the
people of New Brunswick and those
of Aroostook county. Maine, who have
long been hoping that such a bridge
might be built so that business inter
ests which are closely allied and
which are on both sides of the bound
airy Hne-the St. John river-might be
more closely united.
This project received its start in a
charter granted to the Van Buren,
Bridge company by the Legislature of
Maine q little over two years ago
since then il has been necessary TO
have the plans approved by the sec
vat 49, \, e ~,
gress and by the President OF the
United Statea these preliminaries
having been concluded when former
President Taft signed the federal law
approving Of the construction of this
bridge. which, by the way, was the
very last bin that he signed as Presi-
dent
Then the plans had TO be submitted
to the International Boundary Com
mission which not only approved, but
sent a special report to the United
States and the Canadian governments,
urging that every possible encourage
ment be given to the immediate build
ing of the bridge; il was then neces-
sary to obtain legislation from the
Canadian Parliament at Ottawa and
after that had been done, TO obtain
the approval of several departments
of the Canadian government, all Of
which took time and it was not until
September last that construction
could actually be commenced and for
rapidity in construction perhaps no
work of it's size can show a parallel to
this one; surveys of the river and of
the river bed and for mile of rail-
way in Canada, necessitating the
crossing of TWO other roads and con-
nectjon with a third, had to be made
before bids could be advertised, then
contractors had to have time to pre-
pare their bids and in spite of the fact
that the greater portion of the work
