Jacob is only fifty odd, but he is greatly aged by hard work and poor | food and exposure, His face ig! weatherbeaten, but he has kindly | eyes, and he can tell sea stories that | make men wonder. For all that, un- til recently, Jacob had not learned to read. There is a little family of children, down on Canal street, whose aflection for Jacob is In nowise di- minished because he is without learn. ing. He has lore, which is better in their eyes, and their happiest even. ings were when the laborer came stumbling up the stairs to their father's flat to tell them stories of rivermen and starfish indiscrimin. ately. One night, by accident, they discovered that their friend could not read. Neither could they, excepting lennie. lennie was eleven. and could “spell,” and even Alle and Ma. mie knew their letters. What could be more natural that the three should teach Jacob? When with surprising delicacy, the plan was confided to CHILDREN A LONG- three thas Foland Ch we un ' ~ WG o— "ey won a a and they found that the longlag life had been to learn to way behind,” he admit. | ted, and so they set to work. Every night that he was off duty he came happily to their home, and, out of the game primer Allie and Mamie mastering, he laboriously learned alphabet. They sat at the table, all four, bending over books, the longshoreman’s finger tracing the lines, baby voices directing and Lennie, vaptly imp the whole. Jacob's as bending over bales and kegs never made it ache; his arm was by the unaccustomed exer of writing and he breathed hard copy book But night after he patiently took his place, and shone with the joy roud day for Jacob he could spend a and swagger glancing at it a time, But it ime for Lennie had help- the Light)” cess went, of Jacob's read. “I'm were the kitchen the rough fore shrill correcting, wripnt, con back ach: the ducting ht, 3 face it It at leng at the newstand ith his paper, letter at proud Mamie, For always was a p rth, fe ¢ when, cent off w careleasly,—a who y “Ru TREES BROTHERS WHO BE AME Th (As Indian were on thers Life I One enough, wi to be tall {fe had tried in wavs himself taller, bed e¢ he be up love There who went Lord of and hearts’ desires though er still to wished shed make adm looked ribe than into his feet stand he real MOCCAS and he and on But when the they the Earthqual him to ze slat : panied Lord desired, he heir feet fast when this and brothers was done were turned t« Lord paid them the hold time close large Gr of back log, the ul towards are enough to oan the it a good “ start, and worse th poked w The “Drowning Commission.” The comm of English physiol Ogists appointed to investigate the itation of the apparently Irowned found that all the methods the tte AE Fosus« have performance whica been suggested for of artificial respiration result in drawing into the lungs at least as much air as enters during the ordinary respiration: hence, that which at the same time most aide in expeliing the water should it seems, be adopted—that is with the lying face down, instead back. By far most impor. tant feature of any form of artificial respiration, however, is its immediate application. Without artificial resp! ration even the most powerful heart stimulants are unavailing. No time should be wasted in taking off the person’s clothes, or in applying smell ing salts, or giving drugs, but every. thing subordinated to freeing the lungs from water and giving them a full supply of air. In experiments on animals, a great lifference was found between individuals of the species. Bome dogs were killed Ly a two minute immersion, while others could be resuscitated after eight minutes or even more under water.
