The Prevention of Sunstroke,

The following hints for the prevention
of sunstroke are given by DIR. Edward
G. Mann, of New York, in an article
upon this subject in one of the medical
journals: "To avoid sunstroke, exercise,
in excessively hot weather should be
very moderate; the clothing should be
thin and loose, and an abundance. of
cold water should be drank. Workmen
and soldiers should understand that as
soon as they cease to perspire, while
working or marching in the hot sun,
they are in danger of sunstroke, and
they should Immediately drink water
freely and copiously TO afford matter for
cutaneous Transportation, and also keep
the skin and clothing wet with water
Impending sdnstroke may often be
warded off by these simple measures.
Besides the cessation of perspiration,
the pupils are apt to be contracted, and
there is great frequency of micturition,
there is marked exhaustion, with aweak
pulse, resulting from the cold water
application, we should administer stim-
ulants. The free use of water, however,
both externally and internally, by those
exposed to the direct rays of the sun, is
the best prophylactic against sunstroke,
and laborers and soldiers, and others
who adopt this measure, washing their
hands and faces, as well as drinking
copiously of water every time they come
within reach of it, will generally enjoy
perfect immunity from sunstroke.
Straw hats should be woln, ventilated
at the top, and the crown of the hat
filled with green leaves or wet sponOe.
1t is better to wear thin flannel shirts,
in order not to check perspiration. We
may expose ourselves for loBg time in
the hot sun, and work or sleep in a
heated room, and enjoy perfect immuni.

and clothing wet with water

Up i'm the Heavens.

Those who sit up to see the comet in
the small hours of the morning will be
rewarded for their pains by another ce-
lestial spectacle hardly less interesting
than the comet itself. Venus, Jupiter,
Saturn, and Mars arc now grouped close
together in the morning sky, and they
present splendid appearance. Venus
is not far past her period of greatest
brilliancy, and she Outshines all the
others, the vapors of the horizon maxi
ing her scintillate i'll manner that,
though provoking enough in the tele-
scope, adds to her beauty as seen by the
naked eye. Jupiter is very bright

a position to afford possessors of power.

Seth Green's Spider Story.

IL you anchor pole in a body OF
water and put a spider upon it, he will
exhibit marvellous intelligence by his
plans to escape At first he will spin a
web several inches long and hang to one
end while he allows the other to float off
in the wind, in the hope that it will
strike some object. OF course this plan
proves failure, but the spider is not
discouraged. He waits until the wind
changes, and then sends another silken
bridge floating off in another direction
Another failure is followed by several
other similar attempts, until all the
points of the compass have been tried.
But neither the resources nor the rea-
soning powers of the spider are ex-
hausted. He climbs to the top of the
pole and energetically goes to work to
construct a silken balloon. He has no
hot air with which to initiate it, but he
has the power of making it buoyant.
When he gets his balloon finished he
does not go off upon the mere supposi-
tion that it will carry him, as men often
do, but he fastens it to guy rope, the
other end of which he attaches to the
island pole upon which he is prisoner.
He then gets into his aerial vehicle, while
it is made fast, and tests it to see
whether its dimensions are capable of
thework of bearing him away. He often
finds that he has made it too small, in
which case he hauls it down, takes it all
apart, and constructs it on larger and
better plan. A spider has been seen to
make three different balloons before he
became satisfied with his experiment
Then he will get in, snap the guy rope,
and sail away to land as gracefully and
as supremely independent of his sur

WOmen's Wrongs.

In a recent address in Iowa, Mrs.
Lucy Stone said " Men at the South a
few years ago, colored men, were sup
posed to be deferred from voting from
fear of violence. The United States
Government sent its agents to make
official inquiry and see that every black
man had his right to vote. But the Uni.
ted States Government itself and each
State Government are the intimidating
power to prevent the suffrageof women.
They do if according to law, but in yio-
latlon of the fundamental principle and
theory of our Government. l once
asked an apologist for slavery, Would
you like TO be a slave 2 To which he
replied, If were nigger, I shouldn't
care. So in the case of women. Mer
who would fight to the death for theil

The Children.

Mr.. q. J. Barron, Secretary of the
Swimming Association of Great Britain,
writes to the London Times to urge the
necessity of children being taught to
swim "a good, straightforward breast
stroke" In case a person falls into a
heavy sea, side stroke should be adopt
ed, presenting the back of the head to
the dash of the waves. If, he says, a
child is taught merely to ''tread water, I"
no doubt after few lessons he will sup
port himself but he will nos be likely
ever afterward to learn to swim with q
good stroke. But if a child is taught
the breast-stroke properly, he will learn
to support himself in fewer lessons prob
ably, and as he gains strength and con.
fdence in succeeding years viii practice

A few days since the writer was intro
duced to Maj John ]. Sullivan, the adj
vertising manager of The A. 0. II. Emer-
aid. and even before he learned who MIR.
Sullivan was he had pretty thoroughly
made up his mind that he was not talking
to any ordinary man. A long converse
ton ensued, and few of the most inter-
esting portions of it are too good to be
overlooked.
JOHN j. SULLIVAN
is to-day the owner of the largest single
| farm in America 1t is known as the
"Sullivan farm" and is located at Des
Plains, Illinois 1t comprises 93,O61
acres and is said to be worth three million
dollars. 1t is equipped lnthe most COM
plete manner, and is not only source OF
pride but of great profit to the owner.
Anxious to know something OF such a
| man the reporter naturally propounded
some personal questions, to which MIR.
Sullivan responded with true Irish good
nature.
Originally from Tennessee, he was one
of thirteen brothers, and commenced his
business life as peanut boy on rail-
road. For twenty-five years and three
days-he is very precise in his statements
he was employed as conductor ON the
Nashville & Chattanooga railroad, a
longer time than was ever served by any
other man in the State of Tennessee.
FIGHTING ON BOTH SIDES
During the civil war his father, nine of
his brothers and his brothers-in- law were
all with t 2 confederate army, while he
was major on the staff of Gen. W. S.
Rosecranz, and was with him at the
famous battle of Chattanooga. By series
of successful business investments and
devoted application Maj. Sullivan attained
his large competency, and when the A.
0. Fl. Emerald was established, from a
desire for active business life and
LOVE FOR THE CAUSE
which the paper championed, he connect
ed himself with it, and has remained an
indomitable worker ever since. Much of
the prosperity of the journal is due to
him, and he is recognized as one of the
most sagacious, enterprising and bold
business men in the newspaper line.
Major Sullivan is enthusiastic IN the
cause he serves, and he bestowed upon
the reporter an interesting and extended
description of the objects and extent of
the wonderful 'sAncient Order of Hiber-
nians,'' and an entertaining ac-
count of how THE Emerald,
the organ of the order, had
been advanced to its present high posi-
ton, enjoying the warm support and
patronage of all the Irish Catholics in this
and the old country, both clergy and lalty
THE OBJECT OF his VISIT.
Major Sullivan's visit here has been
planned in the interests of the Irish pee
ple. He has established a Northwestern
department with Mr.. W. ]. Reece, the
