How to Treat SunstrOke.

A distinction of immense practical i'm
portance exists between heat-exhaustlon
and heat-stroke, or coup de soleil. 1t is
much to be feared that this difference
too often passes unregarded, to the
serious detrlment of the patient. Heat
exhaustion, as the term implies, means a
sudden an@mia produced by work or
muscular exercise in a high tempera-
ture. Heat-stroke, or sun-stroke, signi-
ties the sudden access of unconsciousness
with high febrile heat. In the former
the body is cool, the skin moist, or wet
with perspiration, the pulse small, feeble
and low in tension. the muscular system
relaxed, the pupil dilated, and the mind
feeble, but consciousness Is not lost, or
is restored after a syrcopal state of brief
duration. In the latter there is pro.
found Inconsistencies, contracted pupil,
injected conjunctiva, the skin Is hot and
usually dry, the temperature high, the
pulse rapid. and the muscular system
often convulsed and tending rather to
rigidity. III the case be one of heat-eX-
haustion the patient will probably be
able TO swallow. Repose in the shade,
in the recumbent position, and few
drops of laudanum in a tablespoonful of
whisky or brandy will quickly bring
about restoration. In the case of true
heat-stroke the patient should be at
once removed to as cool spot as prac-
ticable, and should have cold water
thrown on him, be rubbed with pieces
of ice, and have ice applied to the head
and spine. Other medical remedies,
morphine, quinine and chloroform, are
recommended. -Medicat NeWs.

ing, and was cut down at the last ex-
tremity, having nearly paid for his curl

felt no pain, and his only sensations
were OF fire before his eyes, which
changed first to black aud, then to sky

pleasure.
A Capt. Montagnac, who was executed

was rescued from the gibbet at the H.

planned that, having lost all pain in an
instant, he had been taken from light

ceeds, that colors of various hues start
up before the eyes, and that. these hav-
ing been gazed at for limited space,
the rest is oblivion. The mind, averted
from the reality of the situation, is en-
gagged in scenes the most remote from
that which fills the eyes of the spectator.
Medical men have paid much attention
to the anatomy of the neck and throat
in regard to the circumstances which
bring about asphyxia, suffocation or
choking, and they say that some necks
possess power of resisting these effects
to very remarkable degree.

The Summer FallOyv.

The summer, or bare fallow, was form
crly considered the best method of pre-
pairing land for the wheat crop. Tho
exposure of the soil to atmospheric and
other influences for whole season has
an excellent effect, but it is not neces-
sary. A crop may be grown, and, if
rightly attended to, the succeeding grain
crop may be as good as when preceded
by season of fallow. The good results
of a season of fallow are the most excel
lent upon clay land. The mechanical
texture of the soil is improved by the
frequent blowing and stirring, thus
opening the soil for the free entrance of
the air, and the better circulation of the
saltwater. These mechanical improve
ments facilitate the decomposition of
some of the constituents of the soil, lib
Grating potash and other essential ele-
ments of plant-food from tile locked-up
and insoluble chemical compounds of
the soil. The ammonia of the atmos-
phere, which enters the soil with the
rain, is more readily absorbed, and, last
but not least, the vegetable matter in
the soil is more quickly and thoroughly
decomposed, and thereby made
available for sustaining the grow
ing plants. All these points are
gained by summer fallow upon heavy
clay soil, but with light soil there is
no such demand for mechanical improve
ment, and no corresponding advantage
gained in chemical point of view.
Nearly all that can be gained by year of
clean culture is obtained by hoed or
root crop. With it the weeds can be
killed as effectually as in the fallow the
soil will receive enough culture to make
it sufficiently open for the circulation of
air. There will be large gain in the
amount of nitrates and other valuable
nitrogen compounds. In the fallow
these are formed during the hot months
of the year, and, being very soluble, are
washed out of the soil by heavy rains,
while, if there is a crop, the nitrates,
etc., are taken up as food, and stored
away, to be used for some succeeding
crop. Beside, the root crop will furnish
large amount of excellent food for the
farm stock, and finally yield quantity
of valuable manure, to be returned to
the soil. With root crop introduced
into the rotation, there is seldom a de-
mand for summer fallow.-American

George w. Curtis on the American
Scholar.

Every year at the college commence
ment the American scholar is exhorted
to do his duty. But every newspaper
proves that he is doing it. For he is the
most practical politician who shows his
fellow citizens, rs the wise old sailor told
his shipmates, that "God has somehow
so fixed the world that man can afford
to do about right" Take from the
country at this moment the educated
power, which is condemned as romantic
and sentimental, and you would take
from the army its General, from the
ship Its compass, from national action
its moral handspring. It is not the dema-
gogue and the shouting rabble, it Is the
people needing the word of the thinker,
and the lesson of experience, which Sc
cures the welfare of the American re-
public and enlarges human liberty. If
American scholarship does hot carry the
election of to-day, it determines the
policy of tomorrow. Calm, patient,
confident, heroic, in our busy and ma
terial life it perpetually vindicates the
truth that the things which are unseen
are eternal. So in the cloudless mid
summer sky serenely shines the moon,
while the tumultuous ocean rolls and
murmms beneath the type of illimitabie
and unbridled power. But resistlessly
marshaled by celestial laws, all the wild
waters, heaving from pole to pole, rise
ansl recede, obedient to that mild queen
of heaven

BY HORACE GREELEY, IN lSl1.

BY the merest chance, IN the twilight gloom,
In the orchard path he met me-
In the tall, wet grass, with its faint perfume
And tried TO pass but he made no ROOM
on, tried but he would not let me;
30 stood and biushed till the grass grew red,
With my face bent down above II,
While he took my hand, as he whispering said
(How the clover lifted each pink, sweet head
20 listen to all that my lover said;
Oh the clover in bloom love tD
Nm the high, wet grass went the path To hide,
Aud the low, wet leaves hung over;
But could not pass upon either side,
For found my, elf, when vainiy tried,
In the arms II my steadiast lover
And he he'd me there, and he raised my head
whle he closed the path before me; -,
Al d no looked down into my eyes and said
GLOW the leaves bent down from the ooughs o er-
head
To listen to all that my lover saidl
Oh the leaves hanging lowy Ger me9
Had he moved aside little way
could surely then have passed him
And would not have heard VIII Il he had to say
Could osly aside have cast him.
1t was almost dark, and the moments sped,
And the searching nightwind found us;
But lao drew nearer and softly said
GLOW the pure, sweet wind grew still instead,
To listen to all that my lover said
Oh the whispering wind around us
am sure he knew, when he held me fast
That must be all unwilling;
For tried 10 go, aud would have passed,
AS the night was coming with it's dew at last
And the sky with stars was filling;
But he casped me close when would have ned,
And he made me hear his story;
And his soul came out from his lips and said
(How the stars crept out where the white moon led,
To listen to all that my lover said
Oh the moon and the stars in gloryD
know that the grass and the leaves will not tell,
And I'm sure the wind-precious rover
Will carry his secret so safely and well,
And that no being will ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lips of my lover,
Shall never reveal what fairy-like spen
They woye about us that night in the dell,
In the path through the dew-laden clover;
Nor echo the whispers that made nay heart swell
AS they fell from the lips Of my lover.

Churun slowly.

A little maid In the morning sun
Stood merrily singing and churning;
"Oh how wish this butter was done.
Then of 10 the Held I'd be turningV
So she hurried the dasher up and down
Till the farmer called with haf-made frown,
"Churn SLOWLY
"Don't ply the dasher so fast, my dear,
It's not good for the butter,
And will make your arms ache, too, fear,
And put you all in iutter;
For this In rule, whenever we turn,
Don't be In haste whenever you churn.
Churn slowly!
AFT you'd see your butter come nice and sweet,
Don't churn with a nervous jerking,
But ply the dasher slowly and neat,
You'll hardly know that you're working;
And when the butter has come you'll say:
Yes, this Ia surely the very best way
Churn slowly" o..
Now, little folks, do you think that you
A lesson can find in butter?
Don't be in haste whatever you do.
Or get yourself in n tier;
And while you stand ut life's great churn,
Let the farmers words to you return:

A DISTINGUISHED French chemist
claims to have found a way to make
quinine artificially, or alphabetically, as
chemists say that is from some source
other than the usual barks which con-
tain it. If he can produce it at less ex-
pense than the cost of extracting it from
bark, he has "bonanza," beside the
enviable fame of being the first chemist
to make vegetable alkaloid.

LOST CREEK, August f.
The normal school, taught at Maynard
vile during the month of July, by Prof
VIM. McNeely, was a success. Nearly all
the live teachers of the county were in at
tendance. The car of progress is moving
in Union County in educational matters,
and teachers must either get aboard OF
crowd out of the way. The day is near at
hand when those professional drones who
are too indolent, or too ignorant to attend
the normal schools will have to abandon
the teachers calling.
Mr.. McNeely admirably acquit-
ted himself as teacher of the Nor
NAL and deserves the thanks
of every progressive teacher and patron in
Union County. NJ. L. Calvin, our efficient
county superintendent, was with us through
out the school, and did everything in his
power to make the school success. The
schools of the county will generally open on

THE EGYPTIAN War.

LONDON, August As p. rh,-A dispatch
to Reuter- Telegraph Company, dated,
Alexandria, $50 O'clock" this evening,
says; At five o'clock this afternoon the
British troops, with a number OF field guns
served by sailors, attacked the advanced
guard of Arab Pasha, near Ramleh, be-
tween the Lapmontch Canal and Cairo Rail-
road firing upon the enemy's position from
three sides. The engagement, which is of
serious nature, still continues.
Arabi Pasha sent fourteen men with
white flag to the British camp this morn
ing. The party was received by Major
Pringle, but the interview was without
result.
ALEXANDRIA, August 5.-11:30 p. m. -
The object of operations to-day was recon-
nolssance IN force, commencing at o'clock
this afternoon. A steady advance was made
by the marines upon the railway line, and
by the rifles upon the west bank of the
Mamoudeh Canal, and the South Stafford
shire regiment and mounted infantry upon
the east bank. The enemy were driven in
| from all their advanced posts and were COM
PEELED to bring into action all their troops
| available in front of their principal line of
well selected intrenchments at Kaprel
Dowar; namely, about four battalions of in
fantry, force of cavalry and several guns
| The latter were completely silenced by the
| accurate fire of our forty Founders. The
Egyptian infantry held their ground
with considerable steadiness. The ma
rlnes on the railway, who were under the
| immediate command of General Allison,
| pushed the enemy back upon their second
| line of entertainments toward Kapriel
! Dowar
The marines were supported by the
| South Staffordshire regiment and rifles
| They suffered somewhat, but behaved with
| The greatest GOODNESS and steadiness during
| heavy fire.
The object of the British oper-
| ations, which was to compel
the enemy to display what force and what
guns they had in front of their main posi-
ton, was completely ATTAINED. This was
ascertained by night-fall, when the British
were slowly and steadily withdrawn. No ac-
| curate return of the killed and wounded is
yet obtainable.
The enemy's loss is unknown. A large
number of wounded fell into the hands of
the British. Many dead were seen. A con-
siderable number of the enemy were made
prisoners. The British lately made success
mentioned while mounted on the iron clad
railway track.
LONDON, August 5.-The Standards cor
respondent at st. Petersburg says there is
no longer any doubt that divergence of
views exists between England and Russia,
| which is exercising very prejudcial infu-
ence upon all attempts to harmonic Eng
| hsh action in Egypt, with the legitimate
rights and wishes of the Powers. 1t is not
unlikely that this divergence will lead to a
break up of the conference, at an early date,
without any tangible results.
