| ACCIDENTS ON THE WATER.
1 How a Pet or Pan or Evan a Hat May
Ba Used aa a Lifo Proiervar.
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.

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."—

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

TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYERS
Work They Are Supposed to Perform
in Time of War
As the name implies, torpedo boat
destroyers were originally ibuilt to com
bat the smaller torpedo boat, which
had become such a serious menace to
the battleships and the |n rg c cruiser*
that searchlights and rapid fire cuns
could not be depended upon for pro
tection, says a writer in "Scribner's
-Magazine. ' 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.
