He did net say width priace;` but Bobby

I could, hardly realize what I had

When asked how he gaine,c1 the
title of Buffalo Bill, he replied :
"It was in 1867, the time that the
end of the Kansas Pacific track was,
in the heart of the ,buffalo country,
and the company was employing
about twelve hundred men in the

SLEEP UNDER WA.TElt.
Motherinn India Direct Streams on
• Top of Infants' Heads.
The sound of running water is
said to have the effect of lulling one
to sleep. In India the mothers
make their babiee eleep by letting
a email stream of water flow direet-
ly on their heeds. Apparently this
novel liquid tfilleby has no, harm_
ful effects upon the infante, and
they lie sleeping for hour e with a
stream of water flowing upon the
tops of their heads.
This is done by the native mothers
in the vicinity of Simla, in India.
There the, women do a great deal
of field work and must leave their
babies alone. FeW of these women
can afford caretakers, and they re-
sort to what they eoneider the next
best thing,
An example of this was noted
when a new road was being built
and many mothers were employed
in eorate of the work. There were
little groove of resting places along
the line of the road that was under
construction, and here were num-
bers of ba,bies. Each resting place
*as seleeted because of a spring
near at hand. The water from the
spring was carefully direeted to the
place evhere the babies were lying.
The 'babies -were placed with their
head's on a, pillow of earth, and a.
stream of water direcrted to flow
fairly against the top of the in-
fant's head, and a trough was made
for this water to run off in.
According to English offieera who
repotted this method of caring for
babies, it was quiet and successful.
Never were Ruch quiet and well -be -
hayed babies found as those under
the spouts of water, The native
mothers laughed at the suggestion
that such a thing would hurt their
babies, and declared that, on the
other hand, it tended to make thane
strong. In face, soine of the mo-
thers declared that a chi/el not

'Would. Save Lives.
• Lake and river take a, heavy tell

the toll eould he greatly reduced,
not ,by inereasing the number of
bra,velleseuers, but by having on

one who knows exactly haw to set
about restoring life to the apparent-
ly drowned. &ores and scores of
those who are "drovimed" die nob

are the directions. Study them, cut
them etre, and slip them into your
watch -case. Yeare may be the
chance to save a life, and it's a good
thing to remelt -deer having done.
Be quick! Seconds are valuable.
If the mouth and nostrils are
filled wieh mud, etc., cleanse quick-
ly. Remove eight clothing from
neck and chest.
L Lay the person face down-
wards with arms extended, and
turn the face to the side. Kneel
astride the patient, your knees just
below his hips,
2. Place your hands on the small
of his back—the loins and lowest
rib—one melt side, with your
thumbs parallel, nearly touching.
3. Bend forward, with your
weight on your wrists, and press
downwards steadily on the lower
part of the back. Time: while you
count one—two—three slowly.
4. Swing back immediately, keep-
ing your hands in position, bue.ree
taxing the pressure. Firue : a slow
one—two.
Repeat the ba'cicward and forward
movements without pause beteveen
them, at the rate of about ttvelve a
minute, till nateral breathiag be-
gins. Twenty minutes may be all
the time required, but keep on.
Life has come after three, four, and
even five hours.
8. When natural breathing has
fairly begun, cease the movements,
but watch the palette closelyand
repeat the treatment immediately
should it seem, necessary.
The a,beve is the emergency shore,

A teaspoonful of -warm water should
be the first thing given with the re-
turn to a power to swallow, and
then a small quantity of, warm
brandy may be administered.
To Non-swithmets.---Store this
advice in your headpiece. If you
get out of your depth, don't plun•ge,
kick, struggle, or throw your
hands and arms out of the water.
Tread water with your feet as if
you were going upstairs, and pad-
dle with your hands, keeping them
under the water. You cannot sink
then. Lose your presence of mind,
and you are lost.
To Rescuers.—Throw off as many
clothee as possible. Boots must go,
and pants mud be pulled out of
your seeks, or they will fill with wa-
ter and dra-g. you down.' Approach
