Timely Suggestions as to Treat
ment Vperssns 0reycomeb By the heat.
l. Garry the patient carefully
but promptly, to the nearest
shade.
9. Secure for him as much cir
culation of wholesome air as may
be possibly obtained.
2. If the skin is hot, sponge
with cold water or ice.
4. If the head is very hot' and
the arteries of the neck pulsate
violently, apply ice.
5. Give two teaspoonfuls, OF
good BRANDY or whisky every ten
or fifteen minutes. The addition
of two or three drops of lauda
nun to each dose Of the stimu
liant prevents vomiting or purgirg
which is liable to occur and often
to prove fatal.
6. Don't give large draughts OF
cold water or any other fluid,
even if the patient is able to
swallow them.
Z. Don't allow the patient to be
moved or raise from q recumbent
position until sufficiently recover
ed to render it safe to do 50.
This seldom occurs for hours and
often not for days, after the at
tack.
8. Send at once for a doctor,
not for half dozen. Otherwise
valuable time may be lost by dlt
fereuces in opinion as to wheth
or the case is one Of congestion
or exhaustion.
1t is always safer for non-pro
fessional pr%escribers, and general
~ safer for doctors, to pursue
methods of treatment calculated
to relieve more or less profound
exhaustion of vital powers.-Er>

A Salt Water Bath at Home
In order to supply the continent
from seashore to center, from the
metropolis to the frontier, with
sea water, 1t is not necessary to
Darrell and bottle it, nor to build
a pipe line. The more excellent
way is to reduce their bulk by
evaporation, and, when old ocean
is dry and clean, pack it away in
boxes weighing from one pound
to fifty pounds. Then send it by
express or freight to it's destina
ton. All the saline properties of
the sea are intact, and by adding
the proper quantity Of water to
marine salt, II bath is obtained
which contains, besides salt
[chloride of sodium, the sulphate
and chloride of magnesia, the sui
phate of lime and soda aud traces
Of tue chloride of potassium and
iodine.
But while we summon modern
skill and enterprise to our service,
we must remember the benetial
effect of sea bathing is not a mo-
dern or an individual discovery.
The salu;aty effect of a plunge
iuto the surf is universally recog
nized, and its practice instructive
where aud when the atmospheric
conditions admit oft. Many per
sons find its influence over the
! physical and nervous system so
healthful that they consider it es
sential to spend a few weeks or
a few days at tue sea shore, even
at great expense or great lncon
v%enience, for they thus hope to
lay up q store Of health and
strength which will last for
months. The record of the sea-
side resorts Of our coasts for the
past few years shadows tue great
and growing popularity of sea
bathing. Modern chemistry ana.
lying the properties of sea water
declared it q tonic and remedial,
a corrective Of disease and a con-
servator Of health.-food and

DEATH OF A kENARkABLE
WOMAN. - The death OF the
widow of the late John Il. Cry
ines of this city, closes one OF the
strangest lite dramas that ever
assumed Prominence in fact or NC
ton. Mrs. Grymes was born on
the Bosque plantation, which &C
cupied the territory known as Al
giers. When a bright and hand
some Creole girl she became the
third wife of Louisiana's first
American Governor, w. {. &. Clan
borne j; and after the death OF the
Governor she WAS married to Col.
Grymes. A strangely romantic
incident in their domestic history
caused their separation after a
few years Unmarried life, and she,
being handsomely provided for,
according TO certain terms agreed
upon-terms with which the gene
raj public were acquainted-retir-
ed with her children 10 roman
tic retreat, not far from New YORK
and there lived for many years.
In course of time one of her laugh
ters was married to a man who
subsequently became famous as a
lobbyist ut Wasbingto" ; after
which Mrs. Grymes removed
to France. The daughter in
question died about six years
ago, in France, and her son
aud heir, in consequences of the
supposed i'll Treatment Of his moth

relationship which his father
claimed. Since then the father
too has departed hence and now

LONDON LETTER.

Regular Correspondence.)
London England, Aug. l, 81.
The wave Of tropical heat ex-
pended itself by Tuesday night,
and since that time a much lower
temperature has prevailed, with
cloudy and showery weather and
local thunderstorms. The whole
Of the cereal crops have unttoubt
eddy, received 4 check in their
very rapid Development toward
maturity ; but, inasmuch as the
period has passed in which cereal
plants could obtain additional
standing from a protracted sea-
son, it is questionable whether
the harvest can be bene
flied thereby. The late sown, i'm
mature Leuton corn has ripened
off more quickly than the mere
firmly established early sown bar
leys, on the whea,s are deep, we'll
cultivated soils; and the white
looking patches which now cha
racterise Il large proportion of
the acreage nndergrain, may safe
~ be taken as so much to the bad.
Nothing can now ameliorate such
conditions; as the crops are now,
SD they will be at harvest. Under
the forcing influence If the txcep
tionally hot weather in the wheats
have made AZ much progress in
one week as they would have
done under normal conditions Of
temperature in at least Il fort
night, and before the present
week is out, harvest will have
been commenced generally all
over the country. If the weather
should continue dry,a large pro-
portion OF the new crops will be
thrashed from the fields, without
stacking, and in that case the
actual character OF the harvest of
1881 will be known months ear
lier than was that of 1880. The
late feature of Importance relat-
ing to the wheat crop is the APP
pearance of red maggot, which in
some districts, is prevalent to an
alarming extent The time is
now close at hand which will
clear up uncertainties, and which
will l fear disappoint those who
are very sanguine as to the result
of the harvest of 1881. English
wheat is now SO scarce that II
fresh native sample is regarded
as somewhat of Il curiosity in
many important provincial ex-
change.
In France the harvest has been
brought on very rapidly by the re
cent tropical wheat, aud com
plants are made in the northern
departments that the grain crops
have Iipcned prematurely. Very
little native wheat is now on of
fer. At Paris on Wednesday,,
samples of the new crop were be
ing offered at $12, to 1924 per
4SO bbs and the quality is repair
ted as very fine Consumptive
marks flour is 2O9 dearer, fern"
wheat firm for ali epocks.
In Roumonia the weather has
been very wet, and the crops
have suffered. Maize in good re
quest and pricesar e firm.
In all the Southern and mid
land districts of Germany, the
yield of barley is expected to turn
out an average, but in northern
Germany aud in Denmark, pros
poets are less satisfactory. In
the scale district the barleys are
now about ready for cutting. but
rain IS wanted to mellow the
grain.
In Spain the wheat harvest is
progressing rapidly, and results
are said to be tolerably satisfac
tory. The crops on tue white are
said to be a little below an aver.
