PRIZE PACKAGES

Ths city just now is being flooded with
prize packages. The packages are what
are known as stationary packages. They
are advertised to contain twelve sheets of
paper, eighteen assorted envelopes, one
good pen holder, besides at least one
valuable piece of jewelry, and many of
them sum of money from 81 to $40
Certain neighborhoods of the city have
been pretty thoroughly worked in the
past few days. The packages when open
ed are usually found to contain five or six
sheets of gauzy letter paper, the same
number of envelopes and pen holder of
the class worth about nickel a pound.
There is painful absence of all kinds of
Jeweiry about the packages, and as for
money, nobody has been able to find any
in them. The absence of jewelry is ex
planned by the plausible statement that the
manufacturers put so much ready cash in
the packages that they cannot afford to
place jewelry in all of them The whole
quantity of trash contained in package
would probably not bring five cents al
though twenty-five is charged. For the
same amount OF money any legitimate

those who are exposed to the heat of the
sun. and an effort is made to work off
these bad feelings, all of these symptoms
are soon aggravated and danger and
death are imminent. The person
drops instantly, and Immediately be
comes insensible The Fremont
tory symptoms last from half an hour
tosa day or more, and when prolonged
they usually subside at night, and return
during the day when the cause is brought
to act upon the brain. When an indiyld-
ual is sunstrnck he lies motionless and IN
sensible His pulse is feeble and irregular
and the face wears the deepest expression
of painful haggardness. The eyes are
either partly closed or shut The teeth
are firmly set, and the power of swallow
ing is lost. If fluid is forced into the
mouth, no effort is made to swallow It,
and it passes out at the corners OF the lips.
Respiration is sometimes attended with
distressing moan, and the extremltles be-
come cold and are covered with Il profuse
and clalnmv sweat Everything in its APP
Dearance indicates immediate dissolution;
but fortunately, even from this extreme
condition persons may escape death and
are restored to health without either the
mind or body being injured by the attack.
The treatment of the premonltory symp-
toms Consists III Tie WHINE q"
ing himself from the influence of the di-
rect rays of the sun, and in keeping his
head cool by the frequent application OF
cold water. This added to the quiet and
rest of few days, will soon remove all
the unpleasant effects produced by the in
tense heat of the sun The means used
for the treatment of an actual attack, are
fortunately very simple and easily applied
in any place. and always readily procured
in any locality. The sufferer should be
placed at once in a cool and comfortable
position, with his head on a level, or
little lower than the body Pitcher full af-
ter pitcher full of cold water should be
freely poured over his forehead and allow
to run over the face, and this operation
should be diligently continued until evil
dence of restoration is manifested Mus
tard plasters should be at once applied to
the wrists and ankles, and over the stom-
ach; and as soon as the patient is able to
swallow the least quantity, give him at
pleasure brandy and water, or whisky and
water, or any stimulant The effort to
introduce fluids into the stomach usually
gives rise to vomiting, which is no disad-
vantage and as soon as the patient is able
to swallow, however imperfectly, his res
tOration may be confidently expected in a
period of an hour or varying to six hours.
1t is thus seen, that a sunstroke is not only
evident in its approach, but well marked
in its character, and that any one can APP
ply the simple and convenient means that
are adapted for its cure.

THE WATER WORKS.

AS before noted work has been commenc-
ed in the new site for the engine house of
the water works; and it will be prosecuted
with vigor until the same is completed.
The large cistern is to be excavated be
fore the building will be constructed. and
on this work the attention of those inter
ested in the work is directed.
1t is proposed to carry the pipe out into
the river inst above the bridge, and for this
purpose cofferdams will be erected. 1t is
probable that the rock blasted in the river,
will be utilized in the construction of the
foundation for the building at the engine
house.
1t is thought that the new water works
will be completed next November

ANOTHER DISCOVERY.

BY intelligence received from the Warren
observatory, Rochester, New York, it ap-
pears that another comet has just been
discovered by DR.. Gould, director of the
Cordova observatory, Argentine Republic,
South America. This comet seems to be
the great comet of 1907, and is located in
the constellation of the Dove, right ascen-
sion six hours and declination south thirty
degrees. 1t is not visible from this lati-
tude, and not known yet that it will be,
though 1t is likely to be, as the comet of
lso4 was distinctly seen. No apprehen-
sion need be had over the unusual appear-
anee OF comets during the present year, as
they do not possess the power to work
injury upon the earth or any other planet.

SUN STROKE.

An exchange gives the following hints
concerning the effect of the sun upon hu-
manity:
The approach of sun stroke is foretold
by an indescribable feeling of oppression
and depression. The respiration becomes
labored and deep The face alternates
with redness and pallor and presents an
expression of fatigue and debility The
eyes wear dull look, and the head feels
hot, full and giddy, with occasional sharp
pains in the temples. The heart grows
trelm1uleus, weak and sinking, and the
pulse unnatural and irregular. tired SEN
satlon pervades every limb, the hands
slightly tremble, and the voice becomes
faint and hollow. The muscular system
OF the whole body gives unmistakable evil
denee of an extraordinary degree of ner-
yous depression, and if the warning pro-
claimed by these symptoms is unheeded by
