The Coal Trade.

Concerning the coal trade of the
lakes it has been contended that its
bltuminous prosperity could not be in-
tertered with by any effort of the an
thraclte interest, because of the near
ness of the bituminous region to lake
ports, and the adaptability of the coal
to all purposes, as well as the improve
ments which are constantly being made
to utilize it in the most economical and
etfectual manner, But late events
show that the trade is not infallible
against anthracite competition. At
Cleveland it has been shown, since
the fall in anthracite, that to maintain
the bulk and life of bituminous trade
drop in the prices must be made to
correspond with the drop in anthracite;
or, In other words, if anthracite re-
mains down, an entire revolution in
the method of working bituminous
must take place. It is hardly possible
tor anthracite operators to continue the
present low rates for any length of
time, if it be true, as is said, that they
are losing on every ton they are plac.
ing upon the market at these rates;
yet consumers in this market are hold
ing their orders for bituminous with
tie hope that the present pressure will
bring the rates down still lower than
they now are, and which, it is general
ly acknowledged, are so low that mar
gin enough is not secured to pay for
the time spent in selling it. a45r
formerly the northern coal fields of
Pennsylvania had almost exclusive
control of the lakes market, by reason
Of their direct rail connection between
Buffalo and the mines. Now the MANY
facilities of the southern fields move
coal to tide very cheaply, whence it can
be sent by boat, at the present low
prices, to undersell the northern opera
tors. 60
This may eventuate in powerful
struggle for the lakes trade during the
balance of the season, and if it should,
the bituminous operators in this region
must make up their minds to stand it
at a loss or devise some means to
greatly lessen their rates. rm O.
The subject is equally important to
consumer and operator, and will bear
close Investigation Cleveland Herald

SunStrOke.

AS the heated term approaches the
rules tor the prevention and treatment
OF sunstroke gain new interest. The
Board OF Health has collected some in
formation upon the subject In the form
of circular, Copies have been
printed in English and German, and
are to be circulated through the city
very soon, especially among the labor
Ing classes. The following is the
principal part of the report: -fs.tas =.
Sunstroke is caused by excessive
heat, ana especially if the weather is
t"muggy," 1t is more apt to occur on
the second, tAird or fourth day of
heated term than on the first. Loss of
sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse OF stimulants,
predispose to it. 1t is more apt to at
tack those working in the sun, and
especially between the hours of IL
clock in the forenoon and 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon. On hot days wear
thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping
rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep
and all unnecessary fatigue If work.
Ing indoors, and where there is artifc-
ial heat-laundries, etc. see that the
room is well ventilated. - ~
If working in the sun wear light
hat (not black, as it absorbs the heat),
straw, ETC., and put inside of it on the
head wet cloth or large green leaf:
frequently lift the hat from the head
and see that the cloth is wet. Do not
check perspiration, but drink what
water you need to keep it up as per-
splratlon prevents the body from being
overheated. Have, whenever possible,
an additional shade, as a thin umbrella.
when walking, canvass or board-cover
when working in the sun. When
much fadgued do not 60 to work, es-
peeially after II o'clock in the m orning
on very hot days if the work is in the
sun. If feeling Of fatigue, dizziness,
headache or exhaustion occurs, cease
work Immediately, lie down in a shady
and cool place; apply cool cloths to and
pour cold water over head and neck.
If any one is overcome by the heat send
Immediately for the nearest good ply

an 4ve the person cool drinks of water
or cold black tea, or cold coffee, if able
to swallow. If the skin is hotand dry,

the body and limbs, and apply to the
head pounded ice wrapped in a towel
or other CLOTH IF there is no ice at
hand keep a cold cloth on the head. and
pour cold water on it as on the body.

4 CORRESPONDENT Of the St. Paul
Pioneer-Press describes the use of gold
dust as currency as the greatest nuis-
ance OF the Black Hills Each man is
provided with his buckskin sack, and
no matter what be buys, be it a plug
of tobacco for 10 cents, or an outfit for
several hundred dollars, he must weigh
the amount out in dust. This is a
-vexatlous process and of course it
cannot be often repeated without a
considerable percentage of waste.
Gold is taken at SIS in greenbacks, and
all .shopkeepers give two prices. A
movement is on foot to remedy this evil
by adding a. considerable percentage to
the prices of goods sold for dust. and
many of the more sensible miners arc
beg inning to sell their dust as they
bring it in, and do their trading with
paper money. Formerly there was
much risk in taking gold dust. as it
was mixed with material that it was
impossible TO detect by any test except
that of acid, and few could spare the
time to submit the dust to that process
Now the dust is comparatively clean
and safe to handle.

KILBoURN CRY, Wis, July IL
AS the steamer Dell Queen was coming
down the river this noon, and when
about a half mile above Kilbourn.
one OF the boys on the boat noticed a
deer lying on small sandbar at the
foot Of the cliff. Capt. Bell immedi-
ately headed the steamer toward the
place, Intending to prevent from escap.

man in row boat started for the same
place, and the deer being frightened at

clivity, bat before reaching the summit
missed its footing and fell into the riv-
er, a distance of fifty feet. As soon as
it struck the water it swan to bar a
short distance above, but when it land
ed it seemed to. become bewildered and
plunged again into the. river and start
ed for the opposite shore; but the Deli
Queen headed it off and drove it back
again. Conway now overlook it with

it by its ears for some time, but in the
attempt to put a rope around its neck,
it slipped away. A boat, containing
three men from Drinkers mill, now
came to the rescue, and after consider
able difficulty, managed to put it in one
Of the boats, after which it was taken
ashore. A consultation was now held
to determine, what should be done with
the animal, which was now half dead
with exhaustion, and it was finally de-
cided to set it at liberty, which was
accordingly done, when the timid ami
NAL, which had received such rough
treatment at the hands of its captors,
