Don’t trifle with the flag. The house judiciary committee to-day ordered a favorable report on the bill to prevent. the desecration of the United States flag. The bill provides that any person or persons who shall use the hationﬁl flag, either by printing, painting or otherwise, forany advertisement for publi¢ display or gain, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conyiction thereof in the distriet court of the United States shall be fined any sum not exceeding SSO, or imprisonment not” less than thirty days, or more at the discretion of the court. . Some experienced newspaper man pays: “As a rule newspaper men must grow a little cynieal. They get behind the scenes gqnd see all the wirepulling of the puppet show called polities and human nature. They know both sides and could tell the exact trizth if they dared. At heart few newspaper men are extreme partizans. They ara too intelligent to be ardent ones, and know too much tp be sineere pnes. There is a big slice of mugyumpism in every real true newspaper man, He wants to be free, broad and truthful and aet so in his paper. (Gradually this is coming. e £k e Grover Cleveland, in his recent address to the students at Ann Arbor, uttered the following noble sentiments: #You may be chosen to public oflice. Do not shrink from it, for holding oflice is also a duty of citizenship, Buat do not leave your {faith behind you.

Every public office, smail or great, is held in trust for your fellow citizens. They differ in importance, in responsibility and in the labor they impose; but the daties of none of them can be well performed if the mentor shfp of a good canscience and pure heart be discarded. Os course other equipment is necessary, but withont this mentorship all else is insuflicient. In times of. gravest respounsibillty it will lead you out of perplexities, and jt will at all times deliver you from temptat ition.”

OW TO KEEP FROM DROWNING. Que Needn't Know How to Swim—Simply “Tread Water.” To keep from drowuning it sis not; necessary to know how to swim, says the N. Y. Adpertiser. This may scem | at first a strong assertion, but much depends on the meaning that is attached to the word *swim.” A man may be able to “tread water,” vet he may not know how to swim. When a | man swims it means one thing; when a dog swims it means another and somewhat different thing, In the main, the ditference is one of position —of standing upright or of sprawling | in the water. Os course the dog can ‘ not swim as the man can and does, but | a man may swim on the first trial as a l dog swims, if he wiil only do as Lhe! dog does. In what follows the object is to show I how drowning may, uunder ordinary | circumstances, be prevented cven in the case of persons wholly ignorant of what is ealled the art of swimming. In the first place it is perfectly natural for every human being to tloat. With the longs inflated and the bpdy below the water, one can not possi\)ly sink. There i 3 no easier method of keeping afloat than by simply treading water. The operation is just like running up-stairs. and about as difficult. It is perfeetly natural for ani- | mals to “swim,” Throw a dog into the water, and at once he begins to walk the same as when out of water. l Why should a man, woman or child | do differently underlike circumstanecs? | Clearly there is no good reason why | any human being who can not swim | should make a few helpless strugales, | raise an outery, throav up the hands, | and sink out of sight. { The trouble is that nine persons out | of ten lose their presence of mind when | for the fivst time in water beyond their | depth. If instead of strugeling, peo- | ple would do more thinking, fewer | would be drowwned. Oddly enough, | peaple have to do just what the ani. | mal does instinetively in the water. ' The dog, the horse, the deer, and even | the eat tread or walk the water at first 1 attempt. Man’s iznorance of so simple a thing as treading water is a little | remarkable. It is nonsense to say | that animals have anv advantage in | the water over men. On the contrary man has the further advantage of pad- | dle formed hands, and of baing able to rest himself when tired hy floating, a thing which the animals never do. The man who can not swim must follow the example of the animal, and ghould go on. all fours. He must strike alternately with hand and foot, | exactly as the dog does—one, two,oue, two. , All the human beings oan walk in the water without any preliminary practice if they will simply keep coolheaded. In order, then, to keep from | drowning it i 3 nceessary only to tread or walk the water. ; The most simple way ta preserve | life if out of your depth is to float, | which consists simply in lying flat on | vour back. This is easily accomplished | iy keeping the lungs inflated, the head | thrown well back, the limibs extended, but flexible, the arms plaged glose po the ears, with the hands over the head. The majority of people prefer te Hoat | on the back rather than to stand up- ’ right. Yet any man, woman or child ' who can walk on dry land can also | walk in the water with *safety. g It is suyprising how long animals | and buman beings are capable of sustaining themselves in water. In oue well autheuticated instance a dog swa ashore with a letter in his moyth at the Cape of Good Mope. while the erew as the ship to which the dog belonged all perished. The sailors need not have been lost had they treaded water as the dog did. Although unable to rest by the way animals swim immense distances. Last year a dog was washed overboard during a gale off Cape Hatteras, and yet made his way sately to shore, Ouly a week or two aco some cattle were swept from a vessel during a storm off the Maine coust.aud more than half of them were saved.

i A Curiougs Calcalation, \ . T . . A papid penman can write thirty | words in a minute. To do this he ' must draw his quill through the space |of a rod—l 6 1-2 feet. In forty min- { utes his pen travels a furlong; and in | five hours sund a third a mile. We | make, o# an average, sixteen curves | of the pen in writing each word. ; Writing thirty words in a minute, | we must make 488 to each minute: in ! i . : i an hour 28,800; in a day of only five | hours, 144,000; and in a year of 300 davs, 43,200,000. The man who made 1,000,000 strokes with a pen in a month was not at all remarkable. Many men make 4,000.- - 000. IHere we have in the aggregate a mark, 300 miles long, to be traced on .l paper by each writer jn a year. In making each letter of the ordinary alphabet, we must make from three to seven strokes of the pen-—on an aver- - age, three and one-half to four. | SEIE e e | . From 35 to 40 lights would justify ‘the establishment of an eleetric light plant in Walkerton. If that number l gan be secured the Knott Milling Co.
