How to Kescue a lrowninic I'ersun.
A person in danger of drowning usu
ally becomes panic stricken, and in such
condition is very dangerous to handle,
however strong may be the swimmer
who has gone to the rescue. A rescuer
who tackles a drowning person who has
lost presence of mind should not hesi
tate to knock the man or woman into in
sensibility. Then the rescuer will have
chance to take the burden to shore.
If, however, he struggles with the drown
ing person in the water he, will .be very
apt to fail in his effort at rescue and also
run a great chance of losing his own life.
Having reached shore with the insen
sible person he or she should be placed
face downward on a barrel aud rolled
back aud forth, so as to force the water
out of stomach', aud lungs and induce
respiration. The hands ami feet should
also be rubbed vigorously so .is to start
circulation, ami these efforts sbonld not
be relaxed until a medical man had pro
nounced it impossible to resuscitate the
victim. When animation has been suf
ficiently revived, the sufferer should be
given a plentiful dose of brandy.

How and When to' Wear a NeckUe.
Neckties, that is, narrow bands of
muslin, silk or satin, have gone out of
nse except for clergymen and other gen
tlemen when in evening dress. -A clergy
man appears to be privileged to wear
cither a white or blutk necktie upon any'
cession. But other persons who wish
to be in the fashion should never wear
them except when in evening dress, that
is, when the swallow tailed coat is put
tm. And then, the cravat should always
bo of plain white muslin without 'any
embroidery, on. the.ends. Sometimes
white satin or' white -Bilk neckties are.
seen with this formal fall dress. Bat it
is not good, form, nor is, itJhe proper
, thing tot wear black satin or silk -neck-
ties upon such; occasions. '-.Ini' -the sum
mer," when- conventional rules of dress
are maoh relaxed, a- flowing necktie of
light material may be worn . with a sack
coat, but never with a coat with tails.
Ties already mads op and to be buckled
i over the collar are considered to be very'
' bad form, and are: therefore to be avoided.

' SUCCESSFUL . CRACKSMEN!","
How m Man Who Has "Done Tim." for
Safe Breaking Operates Ho 8ay That
to Open Safes Is Comparatively Easy
- Work Time and Money Spent on Tools.
Did you ever meet a real live flesh and
blood burglar? -' I mean a man who has
made a living by cracking other people's
safes, by housebreaking and robbery
who has "done time" in various prisons
and ' who is under police surveillance
everywhere-be goes? The man with the
cast iron countenance, the shifty eyes
and the hunted look?. r
Of course, no. . You would shrink
from such society. Yet there is a cer
tain novelty in the sensation. Such men
pass yon on the street and leave no more
distinct impression than the touch of a
bank president who has absorbed the
money of his depositors, and is yet at
large unexposed. It is ' only when you
are brought face to face with, the bur
glar in a dark room, with his. blinking
bnllseyer shining in your face and the
cold muzzle of his pistol pressed against
your temples, that : the sensation is ex
perienced in all its blood enroling in
tensity. And I feel sure you would
rather be excused from such a meeting.
To have an old friend "on the force"
say to you -suddenly some day: "Would
you like to meet a burglar? Here he is
now," and raising a significant finger
draw a plainly dressed and shambling
figure from the passing Broadway throng
into a back room and say, "This , man is
a bank sneak and burglar? That con
veys a different and perhaps more agree-,
able sensation. . And that is the sensa
tion I have just experienced., (
EASY WORK TO OPEf ANY SAFE.
, "When'll you fellers let up on a man?"
was the . first . and , rather plaintive in-
quiry of the ex-convict. His face took''!
on an innocent and woe begone look. I
.The policeman addressed him familiar-
ly, asked him what he was doing on
Broadway and a string of questions; i
not severely but rather inviting con- ;
fidence and conversation. When the.
man found he was not wanted, and that ;
I a newspaper man was his other auditor,
he talked glibly.. He had . been reading
a recent interview with a well known '
safe manufacturer.
"There isn't a bank vault or eafe lock I
made," said the burglar, "that can't be '
J opened by an expert. I became an :
' adept at the business while in the em- ;
Py ' safe manufacturer.- 1 picked ;
locks as a legitimate business from New i
! York to San Francisco. Every safe '
I company has men who can do the same 1
thing. The first thing a bank official or
' anybody else does, when the safe lock i
( gets out of order, is to Bend to the manu- !
j factory and they send an expert, who
' opens the safe. The ordinary combina- :
tion lock is easily picked. There are !
time locks which cannot be workad so
. easily, especially modern ones. Some
combination locks have a micrometer
proof attachment. That? . Why, it's an
arrangement which is supposed to pre
vent the successful nse of the micrometer,
a little machine which can be attached
to the handle of the lock and has an in
dicator which shows the thickness and"'
variation of the tumblers.
."Some of , these cheap 'combination i
locks have a bell-like sound or click and
these can be easily read. And some com--''
binations run in grooves and can bede -j
tected at once. . You might as well have '
a house door lock and latchkey on a safe (
as one of them. The latest and best com
bination lock gives ont no sound what
ever, and, while it may be opened, it !
would take an expert a good deal of !
time. .There is a good deal of sameness
about the old style combination locks, j
and when you get used to them they are ;
as easily opened as a street door. , ' -
BADLY MADE SAFES. -
.- ."While the modern bank burglar must -
be and usually is an expert on combina
tions, he by no means relies upon that.
A dozen years ago I could open any lock
within forty-five minutes. , The improve
ments have been such, however, that
that method cannot longer be depended '
upon. It isn't true, as stated in this safe
manufacturer's interview, that the safet
operated upon successfully by burglars
are simply fireproof safes, and that no
so called burglar proof safes are being
cracked. All that formidable looking
array of bolts you see on a burglar proof
amount to nothing if you can pick the
lock. The two side bolts are the im
portant ones. The others catch the eye,
but don't make the safe any stronger.
- ."The weight of material is not so for
midable to a burglar as the quality, and
there is much poor, material put into
safes. Now, there is a weakness in al
most every safe, and it is the burglar's
art to find it oat. Some have better
steel in the back than in the front, and
sometimes the steel is tougher and bet
ter tempered in one part than' another.
I can tell at once as to the hardness and
thickness of steel plating. I've had
drills, however, that would go' through
anything. I could put a hole through
two., average steel plates in thirty min
utes. The skill and genius that have
been expended upon burglars', tools is
something : extraordinary, and the pains
that are i taken sometimes to lay the
foundation of great burglaries or a sys
tem of small ones would be astonishing
to honest people. 5 --v -j
"I know of a case where a valuable
safs was purchased for the experimental
wor" or instance, 'several , country
banks may be found using the same safe.
By the purchase of one of the same kind
and make the experts had an indefinite
lime to stndy out its weaknesses. They
then descended upon -the selected spoil
and got away with the boodle. '. U
."Another way is to go right to the
manufactory and see how they are made,
Just like the fellow did who wrote that
article. Yon have read accounts of re
peated burglaries la ' certain sections
within a very short time?. Well, they
are usually on a certain set of safes.

Uestk sf ts Old Piteairn Islander. -
'-'A' NortolkiBlaudcorrwspeMient reports
the' deathat' the" "age of 'ni hety-f our, of
Mr.' Buffett, an old and 'much respected
member, of the island community. He
had been connected .with the Pitsairn
community for the long period of nearly
seventy years. .. ' -'",L '' : '-. .'"
Early in the twenties (1822) the " Eng
lish whaler Cyprus, on her way home
after an extended and successful cruise,
and before starting on the then lonely
and perilous passage around the Horn,;
called at Piteairn Island for fresh provi
sions and to recruit. Just at that time
the island elders began to feel the want
of a school teacher for. the young com
munity fast growing up, and expressed
their, wishes to that effect to the captain
of the Cyprus, who, without' hesitation,
willingly agreed to help them, if possi
ble. ':.-? -.'..;,,:-
j-jie result was mat tsuttett, tnen a
young man on board, of fair education,
was sounded, and he gladly fell in with
the wishes of his captain and . the com
munity, went ashore with all his belong
ings and thenceforward threw in his lot
with, the islanders. He. was not long,,,
however, a schoolmaster, as on the ad- -vent
of Mr. Nobbs, some few years later,
u majority of the parents wished, for a
change, and of course Buffett had . to ac
quiesce. ; ' , .s- . .
,Mr. Buffett's residence, even. on peace
ful Piteairn, was not without its. excit
ing episodes. In 1831 occurred, at ,the
instance of the English government, the
exodus to Tahiti, and the community's
return some, months , later ; curtailed,.
through sickness , of many of . its mem
bers. Then again, in 1836, during -.the
"reign" of Mr. Joshua Hill, Buffett and
his two compatriots, Nobbs and Evans,
together with their families, were for a
short period banished to the Cram bier
islands by ' this . - arbitrary gentleman,
where the exiles were kindly treated, and
remained until ' the storm blew over.
Lastly, the. final departs re from loved
old Piteairn to the new home at Norfolk
island, 3,000 miles away.
Buffett was an ingenious worker in
wood, and his handiworks in the shape
of cabinets and such like are widely dis
tributed, the old familiar legend, "made
from the wood of John Adams' house,"
being always kept up and no doubt add
ing attraction to the goods. Until three
or four years ago Mr. Buffett had the full
use of all his faculties, but for the last
eighteen mouths he has been totally
oblivious to passing events. Chilian

A Soldier's Bible.
While Miss Winter, of Emmittsburg,
was overlooking her childhood's treas

which' she found on the site of a soldier's
camp near there during the war, after
the soldiers had left for the field of Get
tysburg. On examining the book her
eyes fell on the name "Samuel Wolcott,
Griffin's Mills. Erie county, N. Y.," and
Miss Winter decided to write to the ad

A Chapter.on Oysters.'
' Oysters are fatter this year than I
ever saw them before," said a restaurant
oyster opener. "I don't know why, but
usually the fatter an oyster-is the poorer
the flavor. This is becanse the fat oy
ster has generally been out of the water
too long and has been fed. That is not
wholly the reason this year. They are
fatter anyhow. .
"An oyster is best on the half shell,
about twenty-four to forty-eight hours
after he is ont of saltwater. Eaten be
fore that time they are apt to give
cramps. Yes, the male oyster is the
best, but we don't come across a male
more than an average of once in fifty
times." New York Herald.
