Very few persons know how to get
Into a life buoy, ami, as in this uncer
tain world one never knows when ouo
may need to make use of a buoy In
real earnest, a little practice might
prove of great value In an emergency.
Now, when the buoy Is thrown Into
the water the temptation Is to try to
lift It over one's head and shoulders
or to dive through It. This however,
Is Impossible. The correct thing Is to
irrasn the two sides of the buoy, with
lingers of the hands uppermost, lower
yourself under the buoy and come up
through the center, then rest your
arms upon the sides, and you will ho
comfortably supported as long as It Is
necessary.
More often than otherwise, In case
of accident, a life buoy Is not at hand.
In such event an oar may he used as
a substitute. Now, there is some llttlo
art In saving oneself by thlB means,
for an average sized scull Is not buoy
ant enough to support a person If
grasped as tho tlrst Impulse would
direct.
There Is only one way In which tho
oar will support a human being. It
must lie ridden like a hobby horse.
The haft Is put between the legs and
the blade allowed to project above the
surface of the water In front of one.
Ry this means the head Is kept well
above tho water. Pearson's Magazine.

Letters written with a solution of
gold, silver, copper, tin or mercury
dissolved In aqua fortls, or, simpler
still, of Iron or lead In vinegar, with
water added until tho liquor does not
stain a white paper, will remain In
visible for two or three months If kept
shut up In the dark, but on exposure
for some hours to the open air will
gradually acquire color, or will do so
Instantly on being held before the lire.
Each of these solutions gives its own
peculiar color to the writing-gold, a
deeo violet: silver, slate; lead and cop
per, brown, but all possess this com
mon disadvantage that in time they
eat away the paper, leaving the let
ters In the form of perforations. There
nre a vast number of other solutions
that become visible on exposure to
heat or on having a heated Iron passed
over them, the explanation being that
tho mntter Is readily burned to a sort
of charcoal, simplest among which we
may mention lemon Juice or milk, but
tho one that produces the best result
is made by dissolving a scruple of sal
ammonlnc In two ounces of water.
Writing with rice water, to be ren

DO WE TALK TOO MUCH?
A I'leti For KiioiikIi Silence to En-nlili-
L'h to Tli Ink.
In tho United States we are prone
to talk too much. We do not suffi
ciently appreciate tho value and beauty
of silence.
During the after business hours, at
tho lunch and dinner tnbJe wo talk on
and on without ceasing, as though
there was nothing worth thinking
about. We Invented the tlrst taiKing
machine, and no American Is consid
ered properly equipped unless lie can
talk at all times and upon all sub
jects. ' Information must bo Imparted nnd
Ideas exchanged; It Is essential to men
tal companionship and develops our
faculties of expression. But thero Is
no necessity for the endless and eter
nal talk In which so many of us in
dul ue.
There Is a grent force and value in
silence. It enables us to think. It
forms and expresses character. Tho
great men of the world were relatively
silent men; they talked only when they
had something to say, and tho greatest
of them said but very little.
Wo should study, the beauty of si
lence and develop our thinking power
rather than our talking power. Chi
