SENSATIONS OF PAINTING rnRsoAs


The sensations which characterize
the act of fainting are peculiar and moi
readily described. There is n feeling OF
sinking and weakness, objects appear to
spin about there is something ringing
Sn the ears, sense Of confusion, and the
Next thing the person is conscious of is
q gradual recovery, after blank, the
existence of which he can only infer.

lids, momentary stagger aud then the
person falls to the ground in IN uneon-
scious condition, or falls back in his
seat with oil his muscles relaxed Ii he
feels his pulse he fluids il weak ui;l
rapid, perhaps so weak that it csnuo, be
felt at the wrist. The breathing is irreg
ular and feeble, sometimes hardly per.
ceptible but for an occasional faint sigh.
Now that we understand in Il fair meas
ure the condition Of the person who has
tainted, we are in q position to guide
this imaginary bystander in his efforts
to restore the consciousness of his neigh
bor. He should at once lay him flat
upon his back, unless nature has already
done so for him. This is to aid the flow
OF blood to the brain. II is we'll, some-
times, in severe cases, to raise the feet,
so that the head shall be the lowest part
Of the body. The clothing about the
neck and chest should be loosened, that
every effort to breathe may find encour-
| agement Care must be taken that the
base of the tongue does not fall back
into the gullet and choke the person.
Windows should be opened and crowd
ing about the patient should be pre-
vented. These proceedings are all di-
rected toward removing impediments to
the circulation, for the respiration and
activity of the heart are intimately con-
nected with each other. In order to
more, directly stimulate the heart and
incite it to proper action, ammonia
(hartshorn) OF smelling salts held to the
nose, little cold water dashed on the
face, rubbing the arms from the hand
toward the body, thereby encouraging
the flow of blood to the heart, sip of
brandy OF spirits of any kind will be
found use ful. A deep sigh is usually
the first sign that recovery is taking
place, then there is slight movement
of the face or hands, and gradually con.
seriousness is restored and the eyes open.
After II faint, the person should lie still
for while and take some form of light
noulishment, such as milk, milk punch
or broth-the latter preferably hot. In
cases where person simply feels faint
without fainting away, he should lie
down, # possible, with the head on
the level with the body and not
pgopped up on pillow. In some cases,
simply bowing The head way down into
the lap will strengthen the falling eere-
bral circulation sufficiently to avert
iaitiug. Where faiuting is the result
OF severe bleeding, the bleeding should
be FIRST treated, and then efforts directed
to tile restoration OF consciousness.

BERGAMoT.

Among fruit fanciers several incline
TO derive the name of this favorite species
of pear from the italian town of Bergamo,
while larger number prefer Pergamos,
laying stress on the fact that this species
was introduced in Europe by the CRU
saders, which is no doubt the reason
why in some parts OF Southern Europe
they are still known by the name OF
Syrian pears. But the geographer
Ritter, more than thirty years ago,
pointed out what seems to be more
probable derivation. A fine and late
ripening pear is much cultivated in the
neighborhood Of Angera, and on account
obits lateness in maturing used formerly
to'be in great favor at Constantinople.
It was known as Beg-Armud, or the
"prince pear, and the Crusaders, who
traversed all Asia Minor, brought back
with them the name and the fruit

10 the fishing banks, preferring to
remain at home, fit out handle the pro-
ducts, and transact other necessary
business of the city. His place is now
supplied by men OF the provinces and
by waits and strays from all nations
There is quite colony Of Portuguese
from the western islands, who occupy
quarter by themseles. and are worthy
and industrious citizens There are
irish, Swedes, Norwegians and Danes,
but exceeding all others the Bluenoses
from the maritime provinces of the
Dominion. These men are born fisher
men, reared to that occupation in lack
of any other Naturally shrewd, the
swiftly y-launched, well-appointed vessels
of Yankee shippers, and their improved
methods of fishing, early attracted their
attention and led to their shipping on
them when opportunity occurred.
There has been for years steady stream
of these hardy fellows flowing into the
port. They make excellent fishermen.
marry there, settle down, and add much
to the towns prosperity. There are
others, again, to whom more of romance
attaches-men Of birth and education
from England and the Continent
whom youthful errors or wrongs have
driven into exile; others seemed to have
adopted the business because Of its
danger and adventure A vol me might
be made OF these tales told in town Of
men of this character, who are now, or
have been, forecasltlemen on the cod and
mackerel catches. Like sailors, the
Cape Ann fishermen are quite super
stitious. One finds the study of this
trait quite interesting. The supersti-
lion against beginning trip on Friday
is strong with them When vessel
sails near enough to Half Way rock on
the bank voyage. the crew are apt to
pitch coppers and nickles upon it "to
bring them good luck" They believe
that if sea-bird alights on vessel
blown out to sea it is bad omen if a
bee or land-bird, good one; and
some have been known, from such
mishap, to put back to port and change
the trip. The more ignorant believe in
witches and the numerous spirits of
flood and fell. The locality of Captain
Kidd's treasures is often under discus
sion in the forecastles. But their most
singular and widespread belief is in
"Jonahs." These may be animate or
inanimate, men or things; but that
some are unfortunate, while others
bring good luck, is the firm belief of the
true fisherman, and he has an array of
facts to fortify his belief. He will tell
you of certain builder that has turned
of twenty sohooners from his stocks,
and not one of them has cleared their
owners penny. He will instance
another vessel that in five annual trips
brought in five of the largest fares
known to the port, and that never misses
full fare. He will point TO one man.
