How to Treat Sunstroke.

A knowledge of simple aud prompt
method of dealing with sunstroke, if there
is any such, would seem to be as desirable
as how to restore to life nearly drowned
person, as the fatal results are frequently
from the prolonged syncop or collapse Of
the vital organs, rather than from the sever
ity of the stroke. In most instances, where
person falls in the street, out of his i'm
mediate vicinage, he is taken long dis
lance to the hospital, or his home in an am
bulance, and often has sunk 90 low before
medical stimulants are applied that he can
not rally; whereas, If he had been promptly
treated, he would probably have recovered.
II is given out on competent medical au-
thority that in most cases of sunstrolSe, if the
victim Is taken promptly into the shade, a
lump OF Ice or ice water applied to the back
OF the head, and dose of Jamaica ginger,
or stiff drink of brandy, if the ginger is
not at hand, administered, he will, in all
probability, resist the shock and be able to
be taken home in safety within an hour or
two. These simple remedies are usually
within convenient reach in cities, and a
knowledge of their value, if as great as rep
resented, would save many lives In the
course of the heated term.-Providence

Apaches,
rowing dis

and occaslv.4...ly Growing dis
credit on him emanates from that quarter.
The last one of this kind asserts that the
Mexicans are developing a hostile feeling
toward the United States on account of Gen.
eral Crooks invasion of their country, they
suspecting that he was in fact on an expedi-
ton to spy out the land for future conquest.
This is not only improbable, but it is abb
surd. General Crook is the most expert
enced and successful soldier of our army in
Indian warfare, but there are those who do
not want to have it thought so. His raid in
to Mexico after Apaches, and his success
are as gratifying to the Mexicans as to all
friends of peace and order on this side of
the boundary. He is likely to make the
trade of those who profit by Indian disturb
ances and wars very dull throughout his de-
partment; but the bona fide settlers hail
him as their protector. 1t is unlikely that
the petty nagging, the hints of distrust, the
reports of hostilities will do him any serious
harm. He has the confidence of the WAR
department and the Interior department, of
the Indians themselves and of the philan-
thropic friends of the Indian. He has sue
ceeded heretofore, and be will succeed in
the future. He is one of the men whose
judgment may be relied upon.

fitness of the Republican party for the trust
which it holds and has held so long" This
is beautiful sample of Democratic justice
and logic, clearly illustrating what we had
TO say yesterday about that party's charac-
ter. There is no necessity of proving the
stories told by Dorsey, a disreputable person
to DE true y but unless they are positively
dsproved' they will be used by the Democ-
racy in the next campaign as eagerly as if
they were the statements of second George

ONE of the causes of the low rate Of wag-
es for telegraph operators is said to be the
extent to which women have engaged in the
work. They are commonly willing to work
for less than will suffice for men, because in
some cases they have no one dependent upon
them, but oftener because they are willing to
live more economically than men do. Tele-
graphy is business which women can east
ly learn and which they do well. There is
no reason why they should not engage in it.
nor why they should not be employed at
wages which are satisfactory to them. In
the demands which the operators have
made both the men and the women join and
one of the demands is that women shall be
paid the same as men for the same work.
Certainly this is fair; but perhaps it
does not occur to some of these people that
in making even rates for both sexes, the
wages of the men are as likely TO be leveled
down as those of the women to be leveled
up If this is not the immediate result of
such demand, il is the constant tendency
of competition, and competition will not
be ended at this crisis whatever else is ac-
complished.

A New Labor for Women.

A profitable sphere of employment is open
to women who will learn to use the type
writer with sufficient rapidity to write. from
dictation. This has been accomplished SO
that the typewriter can present matter
handsomely printed as fast as any one cares
to dictate. Considerable intelligence is re-
CURED, and an ability to remember whole
sentences; also correct spelling and great
facility of manipulation. The play of the
fingers on the typewriter may be as rapid as
that of an accomplished performer on the
piano. If such facility could be acquired,
the operator would have a great advantage
over the shorthand writer, in presenting
the copy direct from the utterances of the
dictator. Girls ambitious for a good en-
ployment should take to the typewriter

THAT Egypt is to be ravaged by the chol-

ed fine footing, has spread from the place
where it first appeared to the populous
city of Carlo, and without doubt is also in

is confessed. 1t is probably quite imprac-
ticable to prevent its crossing the Mediter-
ranean and becoming epidemic in Southern
Europe. 1t may not cross the English
channel or reach the ports. of Western
Europe with which we are intimately con-

warrant strictest precautions at all our COM

Buttonwood Beach, on Narragansett bay.
has one hundred cottages. A correspondent
of the Providence Press says: The rules
and restrictions of the Buttonwood Beach
Association are, on their face, exacting, but
that they are calculated to add to the actual
comfort of residents, as well as to maintain
the charming quetness and simplicity of the
cottage village, the most superficial observer
cannot fail to recognize. No stables may
be erected, no extended fences or out-build-
ings are allowed; the cesspools are tight and
closely guarded; nothing that will in any
way detract from the ease, happiness, and
health of a single resident is tolerated, and
the title-deeds of each lot-owner contains
iron-cast clauses, the violation of which is
considered forfeiture of property rights.
Ample room is provided in the large stable
of The hotel foT the animals of proprietors.
Market, grocery and ice wagons make daily
visits, and supply excellent commodities in
good variety and at reasonable prices.
