turist:
The evening previous TO wash day l
boil in 2 gallons of soft water 4 OF.
each sal soda and sliced bar soap dis
solved. Put fine white clothes in one
tub, the coarse ones in another. To
the water in the boiler add enough
cold water to make 1T lukewarm, pour
over the clothes, owe the tubs with a
blanket. In the morning add a pail of
hot water to the clothes, rub them
well from this. rub again in fresh wa
ter. boil twenty minutes, suds, rinse
in blue water. hang out to dry. Treat
the coarse clothes the same way. My
colored clothes are washed, rinsed and
starched before hanging out.
In starching muslins, shirt bosoms
and wristbands, after the shirt bosom
has been dipped end wrung out as dry
as possible, L used boiled starch rubbed
in and patted well with the hands.
This is a secret known to all good
laundresses and ii is almost impossible
to keep the iron from sticking unless
this precaution is observed. ] always
use cold starch for shirt collars. Mix
thoroughly two teaspoons of starch In
half a cup of water, dip the collar,
wiring. rub, pat. spread OF a cleas tow

towel and iron in about an hour.

j. G.. Macon, Gait is the general
opinion that the symptoms of sun
stroke come on without any warning
whatever. Most cases, however, are
preceded by pain in the head: wander
ing of the thoughts, OF an inability to
think at all: disturbed vision; irrita-
bility of temper; sense OF PAIN or
weight at the pit of the stomach; ina
bility to breathe with the usual ease
and satisfaction. These symptoms
become more marked until insensibil-
ity is reached, sometimes preceded by
delirium. The skin is very hot, usu-
allv dry. but when not dry covered
with p~rofuse perspiration. The face
is dusky, or, as the saying is. "blue;;'
breathing rapid and short, or slow and
signing. The action of the heart, IN
Dictated to the hand placed over it. is
weak, rapid, and ~tremulous, often
compared to the 'tiuttering of a bird"
In many instances, from what is pOpu-
larly termed the commencement Of
the attack until it ends in death, the
patient does not move a limb, nor even
an evelid. The breathing gradually
fails; the blood, therefore, is not puri-
fled in the lungs. as is indicated by
the livid. purpllsh appearance of the
surface. We are led by it to conclude
that death takes place by asphyxia.
While we know certain things favor
the disorder, that a high temperature
is necessary to produce it, and advise
certain measures of precaution and re
lief found by experience useful in such
cases, but little is known of the nature
of the malady. 1t would seem that
the great heat of the body induces
some change in the character Of the
blood, disqualifying it for the usual
purposes Of blood. From this peculiar
condition of the blood, the portions of
the brain OF system controlling
the action of the muscles Of the chest
and heart lose their ability to superin-
tend properly the movement OF the
breathing and circulation, aud the per
son dies Of asphyxia.
