life buoy and oar. How to Get Into the One and to Support Yourself With the Other. T ery few persons know how to get into a life buoy, and, ns in this uncertain world one never knows when one may need to make use of a buoy in real earnest, a little practice might prove of great value in an emergency Now, when the buoy is thrown int* the water the temptation is to try to lift it over one’s head and shoulders or to dive through it. This, however, Is Impossible. The correct thing is to grasp the two sides of the buoy, with fingers of the hands uppermost, lower yourself under .lie buoy and come up through the /enter, then rest your arms upon the sides, and you will be comfortably supported as long as it 1.hecessary. More often than otherwise, in case of accident, a life buoy is not at hand. In such event an oar may be used as a substitute. Now. there is some little art in saving oneself by this means, for an average sized scull is not buoyant enough to support a person if grasped as the first impulse would direct. There is only one way in which the oar will support a human being. It must be ridden like a hobby horse. The haft is put between the legs and the blade allowed to project above the surface of the water in front of one. By this means the head is kept well above the water.—Pearson’s Magazine. A Pathetic Incident. There is a pitiful story told in the Bookman of Philip Bourke Marston, the blind English writer. One day a particularly good idea came to him, and he sat down to his typewriter with enthusiasm. He wrote rapidly for hours and had nearly finished the story when a friend came in. "Read that,” said Marston proudly, “and tell me what you think of it.” The friend stared at the happy author and then at the blank sheets of paper in his hand before he was able to understand the little tragedy. The ribbon had been taken from the typewriter, and Marston's toil was for nothing. He never had the heart to write that story again. Power of Sulphuric Acid. An instance of the great dissolving powers of sulphuric acid is furnished by an accident which occurred in the chemical factories at Mulhouse, Alsace. An operative was blown up into the air and fell into a trough filled about three feet deep with sulphuric acid, the temperature of which was found to be 91 degrees C. ten hours after the accident. The death of the man was only proved by the discovery of his caoutchouc respirator, muzzle, two porcelain buttons and other insoluble articles. Everything else had chemically combined with the acid.— Loudon Engineer. « t J ' Evil of Familiarity. ‘‘A good friend,” said Captain Bill, ‘‘ls the greatest blessing a man can have. But men are like canal boats in lots of ways, and it doesn’t pay for either men or boats to get so close together they wear one another’s paint off.”—Newark News. It Sometimes Happens. His Wife—You're home at last! I thought you’d- never come. Mr. Outlate—And absence instead of making the heart grow fonder has merely affected the tempen—New York Press. It is better to hold back a truth that to speak it ungraciously.—De Sales. The Pictures of Paul Jones. “Paul .Tones.” says a writer, “was portrayed in every costume that a pirate could be expected to masquerade in, and his whiskers were of the longest, blackest and curliest. He is portrayed in all degrees, from the sardonic gentleman cutthroat to the blood and wounds Bill Bowline type of tar, but always with as much sofa pillow stuffing as possible. One portrait presents him in a neat militia uniform, some thing like that of the time of the Mex lean war and with the pattern of wills kers afterward known to fame as ‘Burnsides.’ There seems to be one point of accuracy in all these pictures if they are of the three-quarters or fui length. Jones is always represented with a girdle full of pistols, a habit. ol dress to which he was accustomed. Tralnins a Cow. T. P.’s London Weekly relates how Major Miles Malony of Boi'.yduff was amazed one mbru—g to sc • from hebedroom window a little hi.l driving a cow back and forward agaiu and again over a ditch and through a teuce on bis land. Hurriedly completing his toi.ei, he rushed out to question the little tres passer. “What are ye after with that cow? Is it to kill the beast ye want? “Kill her! Shure. it's to keep her adve I want.” “Keep her alive?" “Shure, it's taiching her to get her own living I am. There isn't a ditch or finee in the barony that’ll nold her in afther I’ve done wid her.” Then the major understood. The cow. in fact. was be Ing taught to trespass in wtxh of bei own living.

Spontaneous, happy laughter tells always of goodness, and the man who never laughs must not bbune his fellows if they think there is something wrone with his life, something dark within If the streams which flow out are only bitter, the fountains cannot be sweet A ecommo<lating.

mo «nl» One of It. Kind. On an evening somewhere about the end of the sixteenth century a travel©’ from Sweden inffiht have been observ ed at the door of the Rose theater in London. He was going to see a new piece called “Titus Androulcus,” and in order to follow it in the native language he bought a copy of the play, price sixpence, at the theater door. When he went home to Sweden he took the book with him to show his wife and friends what strange stuff rtie foreigner ranted. For 300 years it was preserved and in 1904, being discovered in the home of a countrywoman, was transferred for safety to the Lund university. The book is the only one of its kind known to exist. Matchmaking In France. A recent writer says of the commercial side of matchmaking in France: “In most French marriages money plays the Important part. The first question asked by the young man is, 'How much?’ As a rule, it is an easy matter to ascertain without applying directly to the papa, but even when no question of dowry is raised at the formal demand there is always a contract drawn up by a notary, which specifies the exact sum the girl receives.” A Man of Credit. A distinguished Irish lawyer, always In impoverished circumstances, once took Chief Justice Whiteside to see his magnificently furnished new house in Dublin. “Don’t you think,” he said, with a Complacent look about, "that I deserve great credit for this?” “Yes,” the judge answered dryly “and you appear to got it" The Evi! of Inheritance. It is not so bad when a r'ch man cuts off his heirs for spite. Inheritance has worked enormous mischief ever since there were fortunes to leave. In most cases it is a misfortune to be an heir. — St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Toil uh on the Calf. It's pretty tough on the fatted calf that it should have to suffer for the sins of the prodigal son.-Philadelphia Record. A “Wild Hair.” A “wild hair” Is the most annoying freak of nature a man can be afflicted with. It grows in from the eyelid instead of out and, constantly brushing against the eyeball, sometimes causes an irritation that results in a loss of sight To pull it out gives only temporary relief, since in a few weeks it comes back, as well grown and strong as ever. The only way to kill it is to destroy the sac from which it springs. This is done by means of the electric needle.
