ONE FOR THE PICTURES.

We hear so much about the proneness of our youth to practising all the "evil." things they see in the Pictures that it is refreshing to be shown, sometimes, the reverse side of the medal. A case in point is printed in a Wolverhampton paper. Two boys, aged ten and eleven respectively, saw a child of four fall into a water-pit three or four feet deep. They got a stick, pushed it out to the struggling child, and dragged him to the side of the pit. »We placed a coat on the grass," said one, " put Don to lie on it, stripped him, rubbed his,chest and legs' and worked his arms up and down. j. We took hold of each other's hands, put Don to sit on our arms, and. then told him to put his arms round our necks, so that he would not fall backwards." Then they ran him along: home for some dry clothes. Asked where they got all their information as to how to treat the apparently drowned, the boys said they had "seen it at the Picture Show."
