Person* who are appanntly drowned have a strau K habit, after a long interval of deathlike repoex, of gasping and coming to lite again Immediately upon the removal ol an appaienlly drowned person from tbe water, work ihould be promptly begun. In the tint place, convey tbe patient to the mott I'oaveinent dry spot. Lift the body ao that the head may bang downward for a few second* to allow the water in the lung* and stomach to escape. Thin place the patient tace upward, on a dry blanket, if poacibls, in th* open air.

Sometime* an application of ammonia to the noitrilt will indure nreathmg. Some yean ago M. Laborde, the noted French phytinan, wrote to the Pant Acad- emy of Medicine, giving an outline of a mott nmarkable rescuf made by him during a summer vacation. After lifting the body of an apparently drowned boy from the water he opened the mouth of the patient, punbed a ipoon into the pharynx, and got hold of the tongue Drawing it out, be beean a rythmicel traction, which lasted for th* better part of an hour. In th* meant line, an a*i*tant had placed hot towels on '.he heart and anterior por- tion of the chest. After half an hour'* hard work the pa'ient give a faint gasp, followed by o; hers at regular inter /al*. In forty minute* coin* very faint heartbeat* could be ducerned.

The traction of tne tongue in this case undoubtedly had a marvellout effect on the relex respiratory system. There are many variation* of the above named methods. Sometime* the entire body ii rubbed with coarae, crash towel*, hot cloths or hair glovei. Mauage, kneading of the limbs, beating, hot waler, bricks, etc., are alto reiorte-1 to on occtmou*. It u a general rule, however, lo give tbe patient nothing to drink until be is oonscioui <oept * few drop* of brandy. THX " MYl.VsXTKIl MKTIIOD."

If it ii dane for the pur- pose of emptying the lung* <rf water the same effect can be obtained much eautr by raiting the body and lowering the in ad. The trtct ou of the tongue after the fashion of Labordc seemx, nn the whole, to be the mott feasible method. In any event, do not abandnu the pati- ent until it it asctrt med beyond the ill ado w of a doubt that death ha* lakeo place. A LARGE FAMILY.

The Hlckeat and Lwl flurieallena Are ef rerledlnl Ornirr, nrr. Tb* variation* m the levels of the great lakei have been the iiibjaot of ttudy to? many year* pa*t, and various thenrie* bar* oeeu sdvanced to account for them. Up- wardt of thirty years ago all available data regarding the fluctuations were compi.ed, ihowing the more important changes in the lower lakes between IVISand I8'<7,with a few facts as to exceptional phenomena in earlier yean. The highest known lev* occurred in 18KH,when Michigan and Huron rote -0 inche* above ordinary high-atag* ad Km- and Ontario 18 inches. Thelow**t 'evel wa* in IH19,when Krie fell about tnree and a half feet helov it* usual plan*. The j tluctuat on apart from those which are annual and Ihoee canted by 'he wind* are of periodical occurrence, and are oha ac- l*rized by a remarkable approach to regularity. Since the higheat water in 18.3S there have been ALTIKNATB PERIOD*- of deicentiou and ascension of the levdi, either ov*. or seven, or eight yeart i n length, the wv*n year* p*nod lieing mot; frequent. At we have said, various theories have been advanced to account for thexe changes.
