WHEN SUNSTROKE IS IMMINENT.
And What to Ho When It Occurs—Its
Symptoms and Treatment.
When, during the heated term, one
who has beetiexposed to the sun’s heated
rays begins to suffer from headache, gid
diness, nausea and disturbance of sight,
accompanied with sudden and great
prostration of the physical forces, sun
stroke is probably imminent.
If such a one will lake time by the
forelock and immediately retire to a cool
place, making use of some simple restora
tives, such as aromatic ammonia, etc.,
he may be spared further trouble; but if
he persists with his business he will
doubtless soon become very ill, which ill
ness usually bikes the form of heat ex
haustion, heat apoplexy or genuine sun
stroke, the thermic fever of some writers.
Those who are exhausted by the heat
have a cool, moist skin, a rapid, weak
pulse and respiration movement and the
pupil is dilated. In fact these symptoms
are those of collapse. These patients will
probably recover promptly, an event
which may be hastened by the use a
Jonid.and restorative treatment. \
Those who suffer from heat apoplexy
frequently become unconscious at the
outset. The heart and breathing appa-
paratus is not markedly disturbed and
t lie pupil may Ik- normal, but the un-
•oonsciousness deepens and the case runs
on to a fatal termination. An artery has
been broken in the brain and the poured
out blood pressing on the nerve centers
brings alxiut the fatal event. A treat
ment calculated to draw the blood from
the brain to the extremities—hot foot
baths, bleeding, etc., promises to be the
most useful in such cases.
The thermic fever patient is uncon
scious and convulsed and his body tem
perature may be 10S or 110 degs. Fahren
heit—that is, 10 degs. above normal.
The skin of this patient feels as though
it would burn your hand when laid
/Chereon. In this case the thorough and
prompt application of cold is needed,
lice to the head and cold water to the body
; generally will be in order. Medical ad
vice shoxld be promptly bad in either of
the two cases last referred to. Com
plete recovery from sunstroke is rare,
I he brain being permanently crippled in
many cases. Residence in a cold cli
mate affords some Jiope for such patients.

The Many Uses of Paper.
This is the age of paper, and an exhi
bition of paper objects and manufactures
would fittingly commemorate the bi
centenary of the first paper mill in this
country next year, to lie held at Phila
delphia, the birthplace of the trade.
Paper is the receptacle and disseminator
of science, the products of art and litera
ture, the great means of keeping indus
tries and commerce thriving. It barrels
our Hour, wraps our goods, enters into
articles of personal wear and household
use, and when we die sometimes forms
our coffins. It rolls beneath our railway
cars and forms our buggy tops. We eat
off it, drink from it, wear it on our
heads, necks, bosoms and feet, carry it in
our pockets in lieu of handkerchiefs, and
tile our houses, line our carpets with it,
pack «p our goods in paper boxes and
divert our leisure moments with pajjer
cards. We make 500,000 tons yearly,
import largely, and yet, like Oliver
Twist, ask for more. Rags, wood pulp,
straw, old rope, the bark, of the cotton
plant, and even the membranes in the in
terior of silkworm cocoons, yield it.—

'True Simmers and Tlieir Imitations.
Manners may be either a revealer of a
■concealer of the true mental or moral
condition of a man. When adopted as a
veil to hide what is there, however in
genious the artifice, the beauty and grace
of truly fine manners cannot be reached.
There will always be an indescribable
something to dim their luster and cast
•suspicion on their verity. The bland
•courtesy which covers up dislike or in
difference cannot command absolute
trust; the gracious condescension which
5s often adopted to bide a mild contempt
generally betrays it in the end. The
finest manners are those which express,
frankly and unconsciously, the actual
presence of fine qualities, in their most
delicate shades. Ali mere imitations of j
them, where they do not exist: all artifi- j
eial airs and graces for the sake of ap- !
pearances are mere mannerisms, which
soon become transparent and disclose
what they are intended to hide.—Phila
delphia Ledger.
J . Dividing tlic Ocean.
The suggestion of Capt. Bartlett, chief
of the Uilited States hydrographic office,
that an international convention be
■called for the purpose of assigning differ
ent portions of the ocean to each niari- (
time nation, will probably be favorably j
considered by congress. It is believed j
that this would prevent casualties at sea !
by ships running into floating derelicts. |
Capt. Bartlett says in his report: ‘-Each j
nation would patrol its own portion of j
the ocean for the purpose of towing in or j
destroying all obstacles. Frequent re- j
ports are received of ships running into |
these derelicts, and the number lost from j
ibis cause may be considerable. If ship- j
masters felt that every attempt was being
made by civilized governments to clear j
the ocean of these dangel's, their anxie- ;
ties, which are sufficiently great from
purely natural causes, would be mate
rially relieved. ”—Boston Budget.
A New Disinfectant.
Experiments are believed to show that
jptol, or orthopenot-sulphate, is des-
ied to take the place of carbolic acid as
disinfectant- and antiseptic. It is a
rupy, brown fluid of aromatic odor,
d soluble in alcohol, glycerine and
iter, and is not irritating in as strong
10 per cent, solutions. As an auti
stic it is said to equal carbolic acid,
file possessing also the advantage of
?asanter odor, more solubility, etc,—

Cldiui’s Rule'of the Rond.

HOW TO LEARN TO SWIM.
Boy« and Girls who Want to Woo th«
Warn Should Carefully Read Thl*.
Books are full of elaborate directions ^ ou 7 import trade, the question of how
_ i A - j -- .L. „ gold is shipped to Europe becomes a
Shipping Gold tm Europe.
When one recalls the millions upon
millions of dollars in gold that annually
6eek Europe to provide for the necessities
for learning to swim, and in the large
cities there are schools where the art can
be acquired at all seasons of the year, but
it is safe to say that any child having or
dinary courage can safely be taught or
can teach himself to swim by the follow
ing simple method:
Find a place where the water deepens
gradually, as an ordinary beach. Often
in a small stream there are jkxiLs nowhere
too deep for safety. Procure a band or
’ belt to go around the bust under the ;
arms, with small bands over the shoul- ;
den* to keep it from slipping down. To j
this lielt attach a safety line of such ;
length that the learner cannot go into the |
water deeper than the waist.
The first thing to lie done is to learn to !
duck without minding it. Hold your
breath and put your head under water
several times whenever you bathe. You
may probably strangle a bit at first, but
the ducking will become less and less
disagreeable until the disinclination to go
under water nearly or quite disappears.
Of course the bother need not make a
martyr of himself by spending his whole
time in the practice of ducking. I?3
may splash about as much as he likes.
Some acquire the necessary indifference
to lieing under water almost at once.
Whon it is acquired let the bather select
a place where the water is just deep
. enough for him to sit upon the bottom
with head and shoulders out of water.
Then let him take a full breath, distend
ing the lungs, and, placing his arms by
his sides, lie down on his back on the
bottom. If unsuccessful, partially expel
the air. from the lungs and try again.
After having found out by actual experi
ment how easy it is to lie down on your
back under water, go out to the full
length of your rope and. holding your
breath, pull yourself in toward the shore,
hand over hand, not letting your feet
touch bottom on any account until your
breath gives out or you run-aground.
No matter whether you go under water
or not. no matter whether you keep your
self right side up or not, go right on
hauling yourself toward the shore, hand
over hand, till you reach shoal water.
When you can run yourself ashore
with ease and certainty you will prob
ably have discovered that most of the
passagu is made at or near the surface of
the water, and possibly you will have
learned after a fashion to keep your bal
ance and pull yourself ashore with your
nose above water. When you can do
this, you can breathe through ypur nose
during the passage, and as soon as you
can breathe comfortably while hauling
yourself ashore you are ready for the
next step, namely, try to pull yourself
ashore using one hand for the rope and
paddling with the other hand. This is
not a very easy thing to do, and in all
probability before you can accomplish it
you will find yourself paddling with both
hands and kicking with both feet—that
is to say. swimming. As soon as you
find that you can keep yourself right
side up, and your eyes and nose above
water, you have learned the great secret,
and swimming with the most approved
arid scientific stroke will follow, accord
ing to your opportunities and ambition.
These hints are intended to meet the
most difficult.case possible, namely, that
of a boy who is obliged to depend alto
gether upon his own resources. If he
has some one to help and advise, so much
the L iter. Ho will probably learn to
swim the quicker, but he must haul him
self ashore or the object of the lesson will
be lost.
These directions are based upon the
well established fact that no one can be a
confident swimmer who is disconcerted
at finding himself unexpectedly under
water. Therefore the first thing to lie
learned is to catch the breath instinctively
under any and all circumstances the in
stant you find yourself going under water.
Strangulation occurs in consequence of
drawing water with the breath into the
air passages, and even partial strangula
tion is unpleasant. The first tiling, then,
for the would be swimmer to learn is to
instinctively keep water out of the wind
pipe. Tills can best be done by frequent
voluntary duckings.
In the rough swimming school of boy
hood forcible duckings, often to the verge
of cruel tv and danger, are frequent inci
dents, and any preliminary practice will
be an excellent breaking in for what
most l>oys are likely to encounter.
The succeed in
curious and interesting one. The Bank
of America is the largest single shipper
of gold abroad. Shipments are made in
stout kegs, very like the ordinary beer
keg. Every one contains $50,000 in coin
or in bar gold. The latter is the favorite
for these, sliipments, since the govern
ment has permitted the sub-treasury to
exchange liar for gold coin, as coin in
$1,000,000 shipment is liable to a loss by
abrasion of from eight to twenty ounces,
or from $128 to $820: and the bars only
lose- about three-fourths of that amount.
Where coin is sent double eagles are pre
ferred. They are put in stout canvas
bags, each bag containing 125 double
eagliis, or $5,000, and ten bags fill each
keg.
About the only pracaution taken
against tampering with kegs is a treat
ment of the keg ends, technically known
as “red taping.” Four holes are bored
at equal intervals in the projecting rim
of the staves above the bead. Red tape
is run through these, crossing on the
keg's head, the ends meeting at the cen
ter, where they are sealed to the head by
the hardest of wax and stamped with the
consignor’s name. The average insur
ance is about $1,500 per $1,000,000.
Then there is an expense of $2 a keg for
packing and cartage aboard sliip, or $200
for the same sum; and the inevitable loss
by abrasion, whatever it may prove to
be. There are great Wall street firms
shipping from $25,000,000 to $40,000,000
annually. Some of these have for years
insured themselves, and assert that the
saving has been sufficient to replace a loss
of $1,000,000. These are large figures.
But this has become a country of large
figures and affairs.—Edgar L. Wake-
man in Globe-Democrat.

The Russian Language.
Russian, it is true, is an Indo-Euro
pean language, yet its analogies with
other members of the same great family
of speech are so obliterated, where not
altogether lost, as to make the student's
path a veritable terra incognita—an un il
luminated tract in which almost every
inch of ground has to be won by a special
effort of the intellect rather than by any
brightness of philological memory or de
pendence upon Grimm’s famous law of
consonantal interchange. It cannot be
denied that many foreign words have
crept into Russian. But this does not
alter the character of the language,
which remains, in spite of a sprinkling of
foreign elements, wholly rounded off in
itself.
No less troublesome, on the other
hand, is the formation of Russian as a
spoken tongue. Credited, somewhat
loosely, with possessing all the sounds
heard in other Indo-European languages,
it has vowels and consonants that are
rarely, even after years of practice, cor
rectly enunciated by foreigners. The
soft “1,” a peculiar l^juid sound; the
letter “shell,” expressed with a single
character; the final “t” and “n”—these
are all difficulties of a formidable charac
ter, ;md need mastering at as early a
stage in the student’s progress as possi
ble. Having regard to its inflections
alone, ono might call Russian an ancient
tongue resuscitated for the use of a
people of modern times. Every word in
the sentence must fit in, so to speak, with
every other; verbs must be in agreement
—visible as well as implied—with their
nominatives, adjectives with their nouns,
and nouns with almost every part of
speech. The Russian noun has three de
clensions, each containing three sets of
forms, and no fewer than seven cases.
Tlie verb is more formidable still.—New
York Mail and'Express.

Turner'll Sloppy Manner.
Turner’s abruptness of speech is still
remembered at Farnley. A genuine love
of ail runs through the Fawkes family,
and one of the daughters, anxious for his
criticism, ventured one day timidly to
lay before him a water color drawing of
her own. His only comment was, ‘-Put
it in a jug of water.” Her momentary
chagrin was great, but on turning the
advice over in her mind she became per
suaded that in that one pregnant sentence
Turner had revealed one of his secrets.
He certainly worked in what may be
called a “sloppy” manner.
Only once did he relax his usual se-
steps arc intended to j cretiveness, and let Mr. Fawkes see him

Once learned this lesson is never for

The foregoing is intended for girls and

Women are usually, for obvious reasons,
a little reluctant to wet their hair. They
often learn to swim easily and gracefully
without knowing how to hold the breath.
It follows, of course, that when they find
themselves doused suddenly into the
water from an overturned boat, or other
wise plunged unexpectedly beneath the
surface, they become partly strangled,
lose all presence of mind and are not bet

all swimmers that the best way to learn
how to swim is first to learn how to sink.

The Republic of Venezuela.
The United States of Venezuela is a re
public, modeled after the Swiss confeder
ation, with occasional hints from our
own. There are seven states, with a
federal congress composed of two houses,
a federal council chosen by the senate
from their own number, and a president,
who holds office for two years. State
legislatures have only one chamber, from
which a state council is chosen by the
members. Voting is supposed to be com
pulsory, males becoming voters at 18
years, and eligible to office at 31. State
governors are selected by the council from
their own number, but residence is not
required to qualify for candidacy. Each
senator and representative has a “sup. h thought, exceed the other drugs in re-
lante or substitute elected with him, of frequency of prescription; fur-
who acts for his principal when absent
thus avoiding waste of time.—Dr. W, F.
