NEW CUSTOMS RECORDS.
Last Month's Returns Beat A11 the
June Records.
A despatch from Toronto says:
Customs collections at the port of
Toronto for the month of Juno to-
talled $924,063.21. This is the larg-
est amount ever collected for June
at this port, being $276,766.05 more
than the amount for June last year,
at which time apparently, the
pinch of the general trade and
financial depression was most
severely felt. The .rune collections
for 1907 were $909,594.51, and for
the same month in 1900, $732,677.70.
The returns for the month of June,
corning as they do with the wide-
spread feeling of confidence, and
th;e other evidences of renewed
business and trading activity, stem
to indicate that the tide his turn-
ed strongly in the direction of re-
new'ed gtneral prosperity.

Valuable Hints Which, if Acted
Upon, May bo the Means
of Saving Lives.
The annual advice to those who
go near the water either with or
sithout knowing how to swine is
now in order. Some expert infor-
mation on how to deal with the
drowning is afforded by Recreation,
which cautions would -bo savior,
against attempting a rescue fully
dressed.
"It takes but an instant, to re-
move your outer clothing and
shoes," says the writer, "and this
will more than be made up by your
being able to swine faster in getting
to hies and freer in carrying him
ashore. Proceed immediately to
undress and while so doing think
fast.
"Of course, my advise to bo de-
liberate is not intended to mean
that you should lose any time. I
have known men to wait after the
person in danger had disappeared
from sight, under the impression
that a drowning person comes to
the surface three tunes. That tra-
dition is senseless and has been re-
sponsible for many fatalities.
"A drowning man may rise a
dozen times or go under once and
Lever bo seen again ; there is no
tilling. Make up your mind, there-
fore, that when a head sinks the
situation is critical and not a sec-
ond should be lost. If the body is
t isible under the water there is no
difficulty in securing it, but if the
water is muddy, more especially if
a tide or a current is running, use
judgment, for you will need all your
faculties to bo successful.
WHERE TO DIVE.
arm around his neck. This places
him in your power, and no matterhow he struggles you will be able
to carry hint in safety.
"Another good way advocated by
water polo players is to approach
the man boldly, and as soon as he
lifts his arm to clutch you to plant
your open hand squarely under his
armpit, allow yourself to sink, turn-
ing your body outwardly, and then
shoving hint over you come to the
surface. If this is done correctly
you will find yourself behind him,
looking at the back of his head,
when it will be an easy matter to
place on him any hold you want.
"Professional life savers often re-
commend splashing water in the
-re of a struggling person on the
ground that it makes him turn from
you. My experience has been that
it only increases his terror and ex-
citement.
"Leg holds are the great fear of
life savers. Let a powerful man
encircle you with his legs and nine
times out of ten you are a goner.
To be caught either by legs or arms
from the rear is also generally fa-
tal, for back holds are almost im-
possible to break. Against these
two dangers you should guard care-
fully.
