Death from OYerMork.

No doubt much of the great mortality
from sunstroke can be traced to Gull
pable carelessness. Thus, as the New
York Tribune correctly remarks, it is
not the lazy or nk-blooded nan who
is so often struck down, as the working
man, ignorant of the ordinary precau-
tons, or the student or excited business
man, whose brain is already on fire, and
whose nervous system is Frustrated by
overwork. Our ordinary murderous
high-pressure system shows its nature
nowhere as in the records of last weeks
mortalityin the chief cities. Directions
for care in exposure, dress and diet are
we'll enough in their places Z; but why
should we invite death 1t every moment
of our adult lives to give him this cold
shoulder at the last? The proportion
of children among those stricken down
by the heat last week is appalling. Yet
the heat was not worse than our fore
fathers bore and lived to tell US of, and
it is quite true that the children carried
about with them neither exhausting
cares in mind nor too hardly worked
bodies, but they had nothing to oppose
to the fiery test but the fiaccid limbs
and rasped nerves bequeathed to them
by ancestors who made the stimulant of
energy and overwork their master all
the while

PaternaI Instinct.

The paternal instinct has seldom had
a finer development than in the follow
ing, sent to us from Faribault, Mimi,
by a party who calls himself zone
of that class styled drummers, gorillas,
commercial tourists, missionaries, etc. ~
AS the cars stopped at a small town
in Minnesota, an honest-looking Ger
man and family came on board the train.
The "family" consisted of numerous
bundles, a wife, and a quantity of chill
dren of assorted sizes, from the babe in
arms up to a boy of twelve. The Ger
man, alter slowing his bundles in the
forward seats of the smoking car, pro-
ceeded to place his wife and offspring
near them. This accomplished, he seat
ed himself for a smoke. All at once,
as the signal whistled for starting, he
dashed out of the car into the station,
returning with another child in his
arms that had been asleep, barely catch
ing the train before it moved. AS he
passed, n of the passengers said.

How a Famous Bridge was Built.

The following legend relates how a
certain Grand Duke of Florence built q
bridge without expense to the State {:
The Grand Duke issued a proclamation
that every beggar who would appear in
the grand plaza, at a certain designated
time, should be provided with a new
suit of clothes free of cost. At the ap
pointed hour the beggars of tho city
assembled, whereupon the officers
to be closed, and then compelled the
beggars to strip off their old clothes,
and gave to each one, according to
promise, a new suit. In the old clothes
thus collected, enough money was
found concealed to build a beautiful
bridge over the Arno, still called the
Beggar's bridge.

MILLIONS ON THE STRIKE lin spite OF
the enormous amount of capital invested
in the promotion of intemperance, the
Missionaries of Sobriety have no reason
to be disheartened. The strike against
alcoholic drinks is not confined to the
ordinary liquors of commerce. 1t is ex-
tending to all medicines of which ardent
spirits form a component part. The
belief that stimulants of this nature are
slooo poisoms gains ground everywhere.
Eminent Psychologists preach the doc
trine, and the dissecting knife and the
microscope afford post norton evidence of
is truth. Fortunately at the very time
when our distinguished surgeons were
making the experiments which led to this con-
clusion, a sagaclous member of the profession,
DR.. Joseph Walker, of California, was perfect
ing a vegetable tonic, possessing all the restor-
alive properties claimed for the %spirituous
astringents and free from their deadly sting.
To those demoralizing, health destroying
potions his famous VINEGAR BITTERs seem to
be giving the coup de grace. The demand for
them Declines, while the commercial and SAM
tary success of the new medicine is complete.
And we hear daily of cases of dyspepsia,
biliousness, malarious fever, rheumatism, con-
stipation, general and local debility, govt,
kidney disease, etc., etc., that have succumbed
to the great restorative after resisting all
others.--[Com.
