Boy's Extraordinary Pluck

GALLANT ATTEMPT TO RES CUE A .DROWNING MAN.

A iplendid atorj of a boy's pluck and good sense waa related in the City. of London Coroner's Court in the ooune of an inquiry into the death of » labourer who had thrown himself into the Regent's Canal at Islington, A band of the Church Lad's Brigade ■wfts passing at the time, and one of the boys dived into the water and brought the man to the bank alter five miniates' ibrenaons exertion This brave boy was William Mercer, 16 years of age, and he was called upon to tell hia own story. When he ifcw OhowQ ran and dive over the bridge Into the canal he at onoe jumped ©n to the tow path The Coroner—What .wae the height ? —About 20 feet from the top of the bridge Mercer said he then divested himself of his tunic and jumped into the water. He searched under the water until he coald not hold big breath longer, ani same to Ihe surface. Three times he did this, until at last he q;ot exhausted Then he landed and took off all hia clothes, fie jumped in again, and was told that the deceased was floating higher op. He swam to the epot, but found that it was only a dead dog, bo tbat a good deal of his time was wasted. He awam back until he got tinder the bridge, when he turned over, went down, and SEARCHED AT THE BOTTOM The Coroner—Wa& it deep ?—About S feet, Wae 16 muddy ? —The water was very dirty and muddy, and the bed of the canal w&b very muddy, After a search ho found the body, face downwards, in the mud. The Coroner—What did you do ?—I got tfmleraefttb, and drove him to the suffice. Where did yoa learn to do that?—l was taught that at the Board school. When Mercer got the man ashore, although he had been under water quite five minutee, there was still signs of life, bo the lad tried Sylvester's nrtiiSeial respiration. The man did not recover, however, as they coald not gtt his tongae oat to give him a chance to breathe. The Coroner —Where did you learn artificial respiration'l—l also learned thut at school. Ai the lad left the witness bos he nm loudly applauded by the Coroner and the jury, Dp Thomas Gillespie deposed that death was due to shock from the im mersion. A Juror—l should like to know why it was that stimulants were not tried! Mercer—Excuse me, air j I had been reading one of the St John Ambulance guides,ln which it distinctly says that no stimulants or alcohol should be administered to a patient unless con scious. So I considered it best he should not have it, The jury returned a verdict of 11 Suicide during temporary insanity," &ni added—" We strongly recommend this boy to the notice of the Royal Humane Society, as we certainly con iider he is deserving of the certificate or medal of the Sociely for th© grand bravery that he displayed."'

No More Pianos.

The Globe pablishes the following: -—We learn that the following remark able Order, numbered 880, was recently issued from Pretoria by Lord Kitchener to commanders of columns throughout Sooth Africa: — The Oommander-in-Ohief in South Africa desires to impress on officers in command of mobile columns that the object of such columns is mobility; that he has learned that each forces carried about with them kitchen ranges pianos, and harmonium?, which mollify that object; that these articles must be hsudeti over to the nearest stores, etc. That this extraordinary state of things is very general is evidenced by the fact that the Oommander-in-Ghief has felt justified in issuing tha Order to commanders of mobile forces through* out the whole field of operations.
