Heat and BODILY Evaporation.

AOuln ; companion.
It is certain death to man to have IS
temperature rise about a dozen degrees
above the normal standard Yet one who
has endured a climate twenty or more de
grees below zero, can equally endure
one over 100 degrees above In
deed, some men work in an ar
ti6cial heat $50 degrees above, and
some enter, from time to time. a drying
oven more than twice as hot.
1t Is only when the air is dry that such
a heat can be borne. A much lower
moist heat would be speedily fatal What
keeps the temperature of the body down
in air that so heats everything else is the
evaporation which is constantly going on
from the surface and the lungs. Evapor-
alton Is a cooling process. This matter
of evaporation Providence has so nicely
adjusted that the temperature OF the body
In health remains nearly the same what
ever the outward temperature
But should evaporation be checked
when the outward temperature is high
dangerous results would follow. Among
these results are heat apoplexy or sun
stroke. 1t is greatly checked when the
atmosphere is so charged with moisture
that 1t can take up little moisture from
the body. This is the atmospheric Condi-
ton known as "muggy," when the most
coplous perSp1ration seems to have little
or no power to cool. So, too there is
danger, if the power to perspire is lost. or
greatly lessened. Any feverish condition
may induce this. and so may the lack of
fluid in the system Persons who work
under a high temperature should drink
freely.
The long continued heat of summer
reduces the digestive power, and hence
sin few equally lessen the amount of
their food. causes more or less disturbance
of the stomach and bowels. Most cases
of cholera infantum are due to this simple
fact TeethiDg in summer is dangerous
from its tendency to feverishness, which
checks perspiration During a heated
term everything should be done to keep
the child cool; the least possible clothing
a frequent sponging of the body and
cooling drinks A sudden change from a
hot to cool temperature exposes one t.
internal congestion. Wooden clothing
must be put on again
Heat and moisture favor the develop
ment of noxious germs The only safety
is in cleanliness clean cellars, clean
kitchens. clean sleeping rooms clean
drinking water and just as much clean
air as possible.

The Health of college Girls.
IL. E. Medical Monthly


The Investigations which have been
of labor have resulted in some interesting
facts regarding the health of female stu.
dents The commonly accepted opinion
that mental labor, if at all severe or long
continued, is preiudicial to health, is here
refutsd by statistics derived from various
sources. ...-.
In one case, of 705 returns made, it was
found that 78 per cent. of the women
graduates heard from were in good health
Upon entering college the health of 20
per cent was below par After gradua-
ton, impaired health was only II per
cent, showing that the physical condi.
ton of the student became improved I'M
der the restrictions and requirements of
college life.
Those whose health was not good suf-
fered chiefly from nervous diseases. 1t
was also found that girls from the cOun-
try do not make as good showing as re-
CARDS health as those who were natives of
cities. Although these statistics are
looked upon b. the advocates of higher
education of women as conclusive EVIL
dence, we cannot admit that they are suf-
1iciently large or complete to convey much
weight. The variation in physical condi-
ton before and after tile requirement of
a collegiate education. was only 3 per
cent This fact, which is the one from
which any conclusion can be drawn,
might be the result of improved hygienic
surroundings, both mental and Laysical,
making the effect of study Itself wholly
negative in character.

Brigandago in Greoo-Turkish Regions.

tbrODKyn Eagle.
A pamphl ct written by a Greek, a cav
airy lieutenant. gives some very curious
accounts of the system of brigandage as
it is now carried on in the Greco Turk ssh
boundaries. The brigands' code of laws
as at present existing, is a strange mix
ture of barbarity and chivalry. 1t con
tains several clauses, some of which run
as follows: "All traitors to be killed and
exposed. The rich to be captured. and
not allowed to depart till they have paid
ransom, aud swore not to Djure brieands
by a relation of their adventures to the
authorities All soldiers to be killed The
bearers of the ransom to be respected and
small money 10 be given them on their de
parture. All robbers plotting with gov
eminent to be killed. Should a captive
escape his keeper is to be held responsible
aud expelled from the band. Never to
steal the goats and sheep from the shep
herd but to pay for all taken. To o er
gifts at any monastery or hermitage by
way of expiation for sin.
1t is the shepherds who support the
brigandS, and by whose means they are so
well hid from the authorities. They sup
ply them With bread, meat and wine
serve them as guides in times of danger.
and it is their children who are educated
to be brigands and who reinforce their
ranks Immense precautions are taken
by the robbers against surprises. They
always travel by night, proceeding in file
through the open country, never through
the narrow passes, for fear of ambushes
The smallest object, the faintest sound
startles them, and down they drop fiat on
their stOmachs till their confidence is re
newed.
Before starting on any of those jour.
neys, they always appoint a rendezvous in
case of separation. Their scouts go on in
front DRIVING hOrapS nr OYan and In hifnd
as drovers Under their shelter follows
the main body, peeping constantly be
meath the cattle to see if any enemy is ap,
preaching, and behind come the van
guard. who, if anything is amiss. whistle
like night bird, and the band disperses.
