How the Chinese Conduct Their CORE.
spOndence.

When the writer IS ready to begin his
letter, he unfolds the sheet of paper.
and writes first of all, at the upper right
hand corner, the name of the person to
be addressed, writing downward in a
perpendicular column between the lines
that have been ruled in the making of
the paper. Every character is word
by itself, and is made with a certain
number OF strokes, mostly straight or
turning at sharp angles. Few curves
are seen in Chinese writing of the pres
ent time. the script being precisely the
same in form as the printed character
Away back in the early development of
the written language, circles and curves
were familiar features of the printed
page. Every Chinese word is mono
syllable and expressed by q single char
acter.
In writing the names of persons, the
family name, which we call surname be-
cause it was an added name that came
into use in comparatively recent times,
is put first, and after it are written the
names given at christening. All titles
of honor and respect are written after
the name of the person. To show more
clearly how this is done, a letter
addressed to the Hon. John Thomas
Smith will have the name and
title written down the right-hand col
umn, beginning as near the top as pos
sible, and in this order: Smith John
Thomas. Great man. All double names,
such rs John Thomas, are to be written
as compound words. If the person adj
dressed be of equal rank with the writer
and very considerably older, he may be
given the title father; but this usage is
rare. 1t is more common to use the
word uncle as a term of respect. If the
difference in rank be slight, and the one
addressed be the higher of the two, then
be will be called "elder brother.''
Those who are much higher in rank
must not be written to directly. If, for
example, mandarin of the third rank
desires TO communicate with one who is
of the fifth rank. he will write to a man.
DARN of the fourth rank. and ask of him,
as OF an elder brother, that he will re-
ceIve n message to be delivered to their
august brother of the fifth. Sometimes
message passes through several hands
on Its way between parties of different
rank. The person thus formally adj
dressed may, if he chooses to conde-
scend SO far, return an answer direct;
but it will be quite proper and more
usual for the reply to be made through
the very same channel as that by which
the message came.

AdulteratiOn.

Adulteration has become science.
We water our stock. and sand our sugar.
and dilute our prayers with many words,
and have fallen so low that we use glue
in our ice cream. What an appetizing
combination is glue and cream. We
don't know what the glue is made of,
and for that matter we don't know what
the cream is made of, though we have a
strong feeling that any sef-respecting
COW would repudiate the idea that she
had anything To do with its manufact-
Ire. but when the glue and the cream
arc properly compounded one is able TO
buy heaping plate of the refreshment
ut the old price. while the profits of the
saloon keeper are indefinitely increased
The beauty of the glue is that il makes
the ice cream frothy, and deludes the
unwary into the belief that he gets n
great deal more than he pays for. There
may, however, be moral side to this
matter, and If glue taken internally will
only make some men stick to their
word. and make others stick to their
business instead Of spending most OF
their time attending To other peoples.
IL will cease to be an adulteration and
become boon. IN y. Herald.

Treatment Of SunstrOke.

Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat,
and especially if the weather is
"muggy." 1t is more apt to occur on
the second, third, or fourth day of a
heated term than on the first. Loss of
sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse of stimulantS,
predispose to it. 1t is more apt to at
tack those working in the sun, and es-
pecially between the hours of eleven
o'clock in the morning and four o'clock
in the afternoon. On hot days wear
thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping
rooms rs possible. Avoid loss of sleep
and all unnecessary fatigue If work
ing in doors, and where there is arti-
fetal heat-laundrieS, ETC., see that the
room is well ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear a light
hat (not black, as it absorbs heat),
straw, ETC., and put inside of it on the
head, wet cloth or large green leaf;
frequently lift the hat from the head and
see that the cloth is wet. Do not check
perspirat;on but drink what water YOU
need to keep it up, as perspiration pre-
vents the body from being overheated.
Have, whenever possible. an additional
ing, canvas or board cover when work
ing in the sun. When much fatigued
do not 60 to work, but be excused from
work, especially after eleven o'clock in
the morning on very hot days, if the
work is in the sun. If feeling of fatigue,
dizziness, headache or exhaustion oc-
ours. cease work Immediately, lie down
in shady and cool place; apply cold
cloths to and pour cold water over the
head and neck. If any one is overcome
by the heat, send Immediately for the
nearest good physician. While waiting
for the physician give the person cool
drinks of water or cold black tea, or
cold coffee, if able to swallow. If the
skin is hot and dry, sponge with or
pour cold water over the body and
limbs, and apply to the head pounded
Ice wrapped in towel or other cloth.
If there is no ice at hand, keep a cold
cloth on the head, and pour cold water
on it rs well as on the BODY.
If the person is pale, very faint and
pulse feeble, let him inhale ammonia for
few seconds. or give him a teaspoon
fu of aromatic spirits of ammonia in
two tablespoonful of water with a little
sugar.-Nes0 York Board of Health.

Carrots as Food for Horses.

A correspondent of long experience
calls our attention TO the following eX-
tract from the London Lire Stock Jour
nal, adding that he has himself fed car
rOts TO cart and other horses for thirty
years with good results, as hundreds of
others have also done throughout the
Eastern States, and that he has never
heard of any injury from their use:
We do not entirely agree with those
who maintain that the carrot is the most
wholesome and nourishing food which
can be given to horses. The carrot, says
IL Agriculture, is excellent when en-
ployed rs n tonic for old horses in order
to purify and strengthen the blood; but
Its use is dangerous for young horses,
and especially for stations. 1t gives
them too much blood; makes them nerv-
Gus. irritable, spiteful or vicious when
at work, and predisposes them to apo
plectic fits if they do not take enough
exercise. Geldings and mares might
not be particularly liable to inconven-
fence of this nature; nevertheless, in all
cases carrots should be given with the
greatest moderation To horses of less
than ten years of age. For horses past
this are they may be harmless; and with
oats, may constitute n valuable article
of food. Horses eat them with aviditv,
especially when they are mixed with
coarse bran. This diet gives horses new
blood, which seems to restore their
youth.
Unfortunately, the carrot is not to
be had all the year round. We need
not regret this, however. An article of
food the effect of which is SO powerful
is only valuable when employed for n
time. It's prolonged use is of no good;
for the body can get accustomed to
everything, even TO the most violent
medicines. The carrot might be very
appropriately called the Regeneration of
old worn-out horses. A horse which
has been improperly treated. is fatigued,
thin and exhausted, improves visibly
when fed upon this generous diet. But
II those who have the care of the animal
are not careful to let II take regular ex-
ercise, or to take little blood from il,
or, better still, administer n strong pur-
gative, they will find that, just when the
embonpoint and vigor begin to be no
dceable, the horse is seized with apo
Plexy. and perishes, just when it APP
peared to be completely made over
again, and fitsfor work.
