The worst thing to do In an accident on the water ta to flonnder around and Bhrlek and cry. That expels ttic air from the lungs, and then the body win quickly sink. With this fnct un derstood we may experiment ullli a number of things to show how little It ; takes to support the body. The high 1 silk bat of inttn contains sufficient air to keep him from sinking if lie grasps ! it by the rim and holds it upright so that tbe air is imprisoned under the bat. Even n derby bat will support a half grown boy or girl If held right. Dlshpans and buckets or tin pails , can also be used ns life preservers ln ! Tert these in tbe wnter and grasp the rim with both hands and do not tip tliem so the air can escape. Not long ago a party of girls out rowing had their boat upset In a mountain i lake. All of them except one could swim. This girl bad an umbrella with her. raised to ward off the sun's rays whsu ilii; accident occurred. Finding herself in tbe water some distance from the boat, she grabbed for the nearest thing in reach. It proved to be her umbrella, floating with the handle down in ihe water. She threw both arms frantically aroond tbe open um brella. To her surprise and to that of her comrades, she did not sink. Tbe imprisoned :»ir under tbe umbrella sup [ ported her bead alnive the water until J help arrived. The small amount of air contained : In a bicycle tire will keep one's head above water for hours Even if one Is a fair swimmer, the day may come when a knowledge of some of these every day life preservers will prove of tbe greatest value, if thrown in tbe wnter a long distance from shore you may be able to float and swim with such an aid three times as far as yon could without tbem. —George E. Walsh in Leslie's. TAKING MEDICINE. There Are Many Ways of Doing It, but Only One Right Way. Tab* a fluid remedy from a medicine glass or from a silver spoon. Chemical action of some liquids upon brass creates a liquid that would be fatal if taken into the stomach. A good rule is never to take medicine from nu.v thlng made of the coarser metals. While pouriug tbe medicine from bottle to spoon or cup hold the bottle so that the label is uppermost. This will prevent the medicine pouring over the label and staining if not obliterat ing it This precaution, especially in the case of liquids that might be harm ful if taken by mistake or in tbe wrong quantity, is imperative. Unless directions require yon to take medicines full strength, it is better to dilute tbem half and hair with water. Never take doses larger than tbose specified In the directions. Better that they be smaller. Under 110 circumstances take medi cine in tbe dark. The reason is ob vious. Head tbe frequent news of detiths of persons who have taken poisons by mistake. Be sure uever to pour medicine back into tbe bottle. Never fail to shake the bottle before taking a dose of the contents. If there be any sign of sedi ment. shake tbe more. Unless directed otherwise you would better take all capsules, pills or tab lets with a half glass of water. Never use a liniment near an open flame, for a liniment usually contains some combustible element Always rub a liniment into tbe skin until It is nearly dry. Be sure to brush the teetb after tak ing medicine, since many medicines contain acids or iron, both o' which •re injurious to the teeth. Keep effervescent medicines in a cool place.—New York American. How Sha Escaped. j "Algy fell in lore with a girl at th« glove counter. He bought gloves every : day for n week.

VARE CLUB WANTS PLACE OF HONOR Cob(1 nuril From Flrat rase. when the capito! was dedicated and President Rooswvelt made his address. Plan Changed This Year heretofore, the inaugural platform lias been pin cod 1 on the c.apitol pi a/a leading to the main entrance of the building, and a reviewing stand placed in front of the Executive Mansion on Front street, on the side next the river, but this will not bo done this year as a platform in front of the main entrance is not considered large enough to ac commodate all who will be present. The platform to be ereeted over the steps at Third street will bo made to accommodate 1,800 persons. After (Governor Brumbaugh has made his address lie and the retiring Gover nor will take seats in a carriage that, will bo rea<lv for them in the proces sion, and go over the route of parade, returning to review the procession. The procession will consist of the military, civic clubs and firemen. It will be the duty of the committee to say how many of the military organ isations of the National Guard shall be present. As at present planned it is intended to form a provisional regi ment of twelve companies, all from Harrisburg and vicinity, in oTder to make the expense of transportation as liight as possible. The two Harrisburg infantry companies will be selected and ten others from nearby points, while t'he Governor's Troop of cavalry will act as the escort to the Governor, it has done for the past twenty years. Thus far the only political clubs that have signified their intention to be present are two from Philadelphia, one representing the Vures from South Philadelphia, and t'he, other repi , esent ang Penrose and MicNiehol from North Philadelphia. Harrisburg will have the 'Harrisburg and West End Republican duibs in line, and it is possible that '■""" caster. Pittsburgh, Seranton and other cities will be represented by .political clubs. Harrisburg Firemen to March The State police will be in line, if it is possible to get them here, but at least some will be here to assist the local authorities in policing the city, and they may go in the procession. The Harrislburg firemen will turn out in their best style with the new ap paratus. The Scotland School Soldiers' Or phans may not. be in line, the experi ences of the 'lnst inauguration, when some ot the little fellows suffered se verely from the bitter cold, having made it doubtful as to whether it is good policy again to give the soldier lads a place in the procession. The committee is going to have some trouble arranging the civic line, as it is said that both of the Philadel phia clubs want to lead, the Vare club claiming the head and the McXichol- Penrose forces also desiring to march first. That will be a matter for the committee to settle. The selection of a chief marshal also will be the work of the committee and it may select Major General C. Bow Dougherty, of Wilkes-Barre, command ei ol the National Guard division, as the head of the parade. General Dough erty commanded the procession at the Tenor inauguration, and it is held that his selection at the next inaugural will be a happy solution of the question, as there are always many aspirants to the chief marshalship-—men who are not qualified to handle large bodies of men. SHADOW OF A PROPHECY | Scrvla Lives Under It, and It Spells i Woe for Her Rulers In the last century, with the excep i tion of Milan I, w'ho was King for only j a month and never even knew that he , had succeeded, no King of Servia has icigned without being deposed, abdicat ing ur coming to a violent end. Three : rulers have been assassinated, and in i the case of Kin+r Alexander, in 1903, j his tate was shared bv his wife. | Servian Kings live under the shadow iof the remarkable prophecv of 1 SfiS, | »'hen a peasant in a Servian village j ran through the streets shouting: I " rhey are killing the Prince!" It was true, for Prince Michael Obrenevitch was assassinated. The man was taken ; to Belgrade, where lie foretold other j events which have since come true. He said: "I ger a Prince who will J be King, but he will govern badly and t ecr,tract an unhappy marriage (Milan). ( Later ] see a son who as a youth will ascend to the throne and who will be assassinated with his wife (King Alex ander and Queen Draga). A King of another dynasty will succeed him, but. lie also will die a violent death."— Washington Post. Oratory Speaking of Wendell Phillips' re markable gifts as an orator, Horace Greeley paid him the highest compli ment when lie said that there wasn*t a boy wlio heard Phillips speak but thought he could speak as well—he spoke so naturally. Of the great actor Garrick it is related that he did not please country people or others unused to t'he stage because he was so natural that 'he did not seem to 'be acting at all. Yes, Same Size He felt it would be extravagant to call in a man for a little job like re placing a broken windowpane, so he took the mcanuremcnits very accurately and went to the hardware store to buy the glass. "Quite a simple job," he explained to the storekeeper. "In fact, a child could do the thing in a few minutes." An hour later lie presented himself once more at tho store, the proprietor of which greeted him cheerfully with the query: "Hume size, 1 suppose, sir."—Ex change.

' Gradually, however, the du ties of the destroyer were extended nn vl they included all that was former ly done by the torpedo 'boat and much besides. The mere fact that a modem do i stroyer is three or four times as las one of the earlier 'boats renders it, so much more seaworthy ai „i (a pa'ble i ot carrying so much more fuel that the radius of action of torpedo boat craft nas been enormously increased, and they have 'become more and more dan gerous to an enemy 's fleet. The duties of a modern flotilla may be tabulated in this way: Jirst 'Scouting. This comprises lo cating and reporting the position of the enemy and keeping in touch with mm as long as may 'be necessary. Second-—Protection of one's own fleet from night attacks of the enemy's de stroyers. This includes not only locat ing and reporting the position of the Hostile torpedo craft, but, if necessary attacking fhem with your guns and' sinking or driving them awav before they can force home an attack against •battlesh i ps. Third—.Attacking the battleships of tho enemy with your torpedoes. This is, ot course, the 'paramount duty of every vessel in the •flotilla. Fourth—-Jn addition to the above regular duties, destroyers are fre quently used in what might be called gunboat work " —.patrolling the ene my s coast, running up his rivers whore the big ships cannot go, overtaking and capturing his merchant vessels and fir ing on troops and field batteries ashore.
