TURN ON YOUR BACK.
When i-lxhaasted Strlmmlns;, Face
Upward and Yon 'Will Drift Ashore.
A guest at my summer place a few
miles from Pablo while bathing was
carried- out to sea, and when almost
out of sight and all hope had fled, to
our .surprise, we. suddenly saw his
body_ j Impelled ■ forcibly toward us.
Then we saw it recede a few feet, and
then 'again, as It were, shoot 20 feet
toward the shore. This continued un
til my. son and myself, at last able to
reach him,' bore him insensible to the
beach. -' - -*-'
After -recovery his story was that
after-losing all hope, guided by some
mysterious impulse, he . had turned
upon his back, when he felt himself
carried rapidly forward. He had thru
turned over upon his face to get his
bearings, when he was carried out fur
ther from the land, and on again plac
ing himself upon his back the surface
waves brought him rapidly to tlie
shore, a rescued man.
It Is an error that the drowning man
Is attacked by cramp except in very
cold weather. He drowns from heart
failure. Induced by the violent exertion
and the upward pressure of the water
upon the abdomen diminishing the
space' and impeding the action of the
heart. ' By turning over on the*baok
this pressure is removed, the back be
ing almost entirely a strong wall of
bone and muscle; also when on the
back the entire body Is nearer the sur
face, and the surface waves tend to
ward the shore, the undercurrent out
to sea, even the legs when upon the
back being less exposed to the current
that tends toward the sea. By floating
gently upon the back the heart, re
lieved of its pressure, becomes calm
and quiet, and the swimmer can re
gain his strength and float for hours.
The bather whose heart Is weak should
always present, when standing erect,
the right side of the body to the waves
and thus avoid the Sullivanlike blows
of the Incoming waves upon a crippled
heart. In every bathhouse should be
posted the Injunction, "In case of ex
haustion or accident turn upon the
back."— Jacksonville Metropolis.

When the Spartans seized upon
Thebes, they placed Archias over the
garrison. Pelopidas, with 11 others,
banded together to put Archias to the
sword.: A letter containing full details
of the plot was given to the Spartan
polemarch at the banquet table, but
Archias . thrust the letter under his
cushion, saying, "Business tomorrow."
But long ere that sun arose he was

A UNIQUE STATE.
Texas Han Paid Allegiance to the
Flujra of Six Nation*.
Scarcely another state In the union
has as remarkable and interesting a
history, as Texas. In one respect at
least it occupies a unique position In
the hlßtory of American states. Since
its discovery six different governments
have at different times claimed Its al
legiance, ' and as many different flags
have waved over It, those of France
Spain, Mexico, Independent Texas, the
United States and the Confederate
states.
The foundations of Texas statehood
were not laid as a British colony, nor
under the grant or control of the Brit
ish crown, as were those of the original
thirteen states. Its first settlement
dates back more than 200 years, and its
first American colonists went there
under terms and conditions Imposed
by a foreign state, to whose language,
laws and Institutions they were total
strangers. There never was, there
never could be, any sympathy between
these first American colonists and the
Mexican ' government under the old
regime. Separated by vast, wilder
nesses from the people of the United
States, and unaided save by the in
dividual efforts of sympathizing breth
ren therein, these colonists declared
their. Independence, established it with
the sword, and for nine years main
tained a stable republic.
Texas was neither purchased nor
conquered for the union. Annexation
to the United States was accomplished
through a treaty made by Texas repre
sentatives and ratified by the free
suffrage of tho citizens. No other
state In the Union has had such varied
experience or sailed through such
stormy seas into the haven of peace
and prosperity.— St. Louis Globe-Demo

The Professor's Prophecy Fnlled.
.While a student at Harvard univer
sity Phillips Brooks was walking in
the yard one day with a professor, who
asked him what he intended making
of himself.
"I am thinking of the ministry," an
swered the youth.
"Then banish such thoughts," said
the professor earnestly. "Your man
ner of speech would forever bar you
from being successful in that calling."
Many years later, when Phillips
Brooks was one of the world's great
pulpit orators, the most expert stenog
rapher In England took down one of
his sermons and said:
"Any stenographer who thinks he
has conquered fast talkers should try

How «• Handle a. Gnn.
In picking op your gun from lying
flat, standing against anything, from a
companion or a boat, do not take hold
of the muzzle and drag it toward you.
Take hold of it by the forestock and
barrel if you are only using one hand;
If two, in the regular way you grasp It
when you go to shoot In carrying
your gun do not keep the muzzle »li
rectly behind you. Throw the butt to
the right or left, whichever shoulder
you are carrying it on. This will bring
the muzzle toward the opposite shoul
der, thus rendering it easy to carry, as
it will be resting on your neck and
shoulder Instead of on the small part
of your shoulder and with the muzzle
upward will also lighten It a little.
I think there are more men shot with
their own guns by taking them from a
boat than in any other way. Wlu-n
you run your boat or canoe to tho lmtik,
your gun Is likely to be In the l>ow.
which I think is the best place for it.
Take hold of it by the forestock anfl
step out. Put It in a safe place whore
you are sure it will not fall down. Thm
draw up your boat or do anything else
you have to do, but do not let your sun
stay In the boat until you have shoul
dered your pack and then catch hold of
the muzzle, drag it up over the jruri
wale, hook the hammers and have it
explode. It Is likely to blow out ytmr
brains.— Forest End Stream.
Steel Forks In the White Home.
Writing of "One Hundred Years In
the White House" and recalling souip
of the notable entertainments given by
our chief executives, Rene Bacho in
The Ladles' Home Journal says that
"President Madison revived much of
the formal ceremony which Thomas
Jefferson had discarded, and under his
administration great attention was
given to the state banquets, no expense
being spared In making them as fine as
possible. President Jackson disliked
ceremony even more than did Presi
dent Jefferson, and, preferring a steel
fork himself, he always provided each
guest with one silver fork and one of
steel. After dinner he smoked a long
stemmed corncob pipe. He wished to
throw the doors of the White House
wide open to the public, but this idea
he was forced to relinquish after the
experience of one occasion on which he
extended an ill Judged hospitality to all
comers. The carpet in the east room
was ruined by punch which the mob
spilled In its eagerness to get at the
buckets containing the beverage, the
gowns of many ladies were spoiled,
and the furniture was broken. At his
farewell reception President Jackson
Introduced a curious novelty in the
shape of a gigantic cheese which was
cut into pieces and distributed among
the guests."
A Snake That Cnmi.
There exists in Venezuela a species
Of snake of an exceedingly venomous
and crafty character. This snake ut
ters a.cry that Is the almost exact rppli-
Ca of a cock crow. The unwary travel
er .when walking through the bush will
be astonished to hear near at hand this
extraordinary crowing. He proceeds
toward the spot, when the snake darts
out and stings the unfortunate man
with its terrible forked tongue. If not
taken promptly in hand, the sting will
In nine cases out of ten turn out to be
fatal.
The black Inhabitants of Venezuela
are, like all other dark races, very su
perstitious. And as regards tho rattle
snake they have a curious belief. They
affirm that If a rattlesnake is captured
and the bones in its tail which form
the rattle removed the snake will never
rest until it has sought out the man
that committed the theft and exacted
vengeance for the robbery.
They cite instances of men who have
taken the rattles and gone far journeys
only, to be followed by the infuriated
snake and killed. Whether there is any
truth In this is a matter of conjecture.
If half the tales that are told have any
truth In them, It would seem superflu
ous to gainsay the superstition.
Our Old Shlnpln»trr».
An officer of the treasury department
estimates that more than $15,000,000
worth of the old fashioned fractional
paper currency Is Btill outstanding, and
though tome of It has doubtless been
destroyed the bulk of it is hold by col
lectors and private individuals. Every
now and then some old person dies,
and the heirs, finding a quantity of the
"shlnplasters" In a disused pocketbook
ox some other hiding place, send them
to Washington to be redeemed. Occa
sionally, too, banks forward quite a lot
of the notes in unbroken sheets, just as
they got them many years ago. At first
these Bheets had to be cut apart with
.scissors, but afterward they were per
forated like postage stamps so as to
be torn apart. Not long ago the treas
ury received a handkerchief full of this
currency of the first Issue, each note
being signed by Treasurer Spinner
with his own hand. About $3,000
worth of this fractional paper comes
In for redemption each year, and some
of the best of it Is saved out by the
department to be given away in re
sponse to applications from collectors.

A TIP FOR THE JOKERS.
Curious Man Wnntn to Knot About
Mlnallnr ' Languages.
"It's a funny w..ng," said the man
with the bad cigar, who had been read
ing day before yesterday's paper.
I "What's that?" asked the young man
! with the phenomenally short coat.
i "Why, the way these fellows that
j write jokes for newspapers g«t things
tangled up," replied the first seaker.
'Bow is that?" asked the long leg
ged young man.
"XWiy, look here," continued the man
with the bad cigar warmly. "Di*l you
ever read a Dutch joke in the papers
when two Germans* are supposed to be
talking to each other?"
"Sure I did," said the tall young
man, yawning languidly.
".Well, did you ever notice that every
time the guy that wrote the Joke has
them jabbering at each other in bro
ken English? What do you think of
this?' He picked up the paper again
and after hunting a few moments read
as follows:
"Leherwurst— Heinrich, vy iss It veu
you bock beer drink yet that you vant
to yump alretty?
"Schwarzkoppen— Mayple It Iss vonce
because die beer is mit hops filled up.
No?
"Now, that's a good thing, isn't It?"
went on the man with the bad cigar.
"If those two Germans wanted to talk
to each other, do you suppose they
would amble around in broken Eng
lish? No; they would spiel it out in
German that they both understand.
Suppose you and 1 were In Germany
for a visit and I wanted to tell you
about some sight I had seen, would I
try to tell you In bum German that
neither of us could speak or would I
talk English? They make me tired."
"But that would spoil the Joke." pro
tested the tall young man.
"Huh!" snorted the other. "Some
things are too bad to spoil."
And then the incident was considered
closed.— Chicago Chronicle.
Mines That Burn Vo'r'Veaf s.
A number of good sized mines are
now on fire In the United States and
have been for years. The Vulcan mine
on the Green river, opposite Newcastle,
In Colorado, has been on fire since the
great explosion several years ago, when
about 80 persons lost their lives. All
efforts to quench ijt have proved fruit
less. In Butte there is a mine which
has been afire since 18S4. It has been
treated with carbonic acid gas gener
ated on a large scale, quicklime and
acids and all the stifling devices that
genius and experience could devise, but
so far without effect.
In Pennsylvania there are several
steadily burning mines, and in one
place where the outlet of natural gas Is
very great the spectacle It affords Is of
surpassing interest. For miles around
a great tower of fire may be seen day
and night, and the dense black smoke
which it gives off settles upon the sur
rounding country. How a mine gets
afire Is easily explained, even though
the greatest precautions are taken to
prevent it Coal seams exude a gas
varying in quantity according to the
pressure and the quality of the deposit,
which gas when mixed with air in cer
tain proportions Is about as explosive
as gunpowder.— New York Post.
J Fnnny Freaks of Yrette Gnllbert.
Mile. Yvette Gullbert in the heyday
of her American success was in splen

a bottle of claret.
"If I give It to you, madame," said
the waiter, "I shall have to go to jail."
"Then go," said Mile. Guilbert cheer
fully, "but first get me my claret."
One afternoon in Chicago two blank
cards were sent up to her by callers de
siring her autograph. On the one she
wrote, "Yvette Guilbert is a very good
singer," and on the other, "Yvette Guil
bort is a very naughty singer."
"Now," she said airily as sho dropped
them on the tray, "let them choose
wht'och is wheech."
Her wisdom was of a worldly de
scription. "For who will give me bread

Chinese Pulse Feeling.
The Chines* physicians, it is well
known, have long had the credit of
paying very particular attention to the
pulse. They even pretend to derive a
much more minute and accurate knowl
edge of the state of the sick from that
Bource than European practitioners lay
any claim to.
The patient is directed to be laid in
bed, with his arm resting on a small
cushion. The physician must b» seat
ed, and both parties are enjoined to re
tnaln calm, silent and collected. The
fingers are next to be applied In due
succession, one after another, In order
to Judge of the compressibility of the
artery. '
The Chinese do not Infer solely from
,the rapidity of the pulsations. Their
mode is to compare the number of pul
sations of the artery with the intervals
of the respiration of the patient. The
number of pulsations of a man in mod
erate health they consider in relation
to the time of a natural inspiration and
expiration. Four beats of the pulse
during this period they consider as in
dicating perfect health. If it exceeds
five pulsations, it is considered as too
quick} if under that number, as too
6low respecting good health. It is re
quired to reckon 50 pulsations In order
to form a correct indication. Their
chief divisions of the pulse are four,
the superficial, the profound, the quick
ana the Blow. These they consider as
having relation to the four tempera
ments, the choleric, the sanguine, the
phlegmatic and the melancholy.—

Wealthy, bat Couldn't Write.

"I once knew a -man who paid 51,200
a year solely to keep hotel clerks from
knowing that he couldn't write his own
name. He began life as a day laborer,
drifted out west and made a fortune
through leasing a supposed worthless
mine In Montana. When he aocuiuu
lated about $150,000, he sold out nnd
started in to travel and have a good
time. He was naturally shrewd, but
he had never had a particle of school
ing, and dodging registers at new ho
tels became the chief worry of his Ufa
"At first he used to tie up his bund in
a handkerchief and pretend it was
hurt, but he realized that the trick was
pretty transparent, and at last he em
ployed a young newspaper man nt ?100
a month to travel with him as his 'sec
retary.' The ex-miner never sent or re
ceived any letters, he didn't care for
reading, and the secretary's one and
oaly duty was to sign hotel registers.
They would walk in together, and the
young chap would say deferentially,
'Shall I do the registering for us both,

would reply, and he would thereupon

"Blarsted Idiocy, but what?"
"Her companion was a duke."
"Yes."

of the English nobility?"
"No. But the Joke, the joke! It is *o
adroitly put. In apparent inadvertence
(desperately) the duke admits there is
