nEOUT SUN-STROkE.
Precautions Needed 60 Prevent the Ev1i
Effects of Excessive Heat.

In view OF the presence Of the heated
term, special precautions are needed to
guard against sun-stroke. This is moro
properly termed hcat-strokc, since il
may be produced, not merely by expos
ure to the direct rays OF the sun, but by
high temperature Of the atmosphere
indirectly heated 10y the sun, and also
by artificial heat
There are several forms or grades Of
the affection. In simple heat eXhaus-
ton, the characteristic symptoms are
sudden exhaustion, and fainting, with
prostration, cold extremities and feeble
pulse. In heat fever there is an eX-
tremely high temperature, some times
reaching 1852 or 1922 f.. with hot skin
and congcstcd brain, and pulse full and
labored or quick and jerking. In sun
stroke proper, there is "A condition like
shock, with failure OF the respiration,
feeble circulation and unconscious
ness.
The attack is usually preceded by
certain premonitory symptoms, in the
shape OF feelings of uneasiness, depres-
sion and irritability, headache and in
tolerance OF light, and feverish condi-
tion of the system without sweating.
a point OF special Importance 10 be
remembered is that heat-strokc may be
produced by much lower temperature
when person is mt rest than when he
is in motion. Other predisposing causes
are physical exhaustion, mental worry,
bad ventilation, crowded and filthy
quarters, intcmperanco, gluttony and
dissipation. Newcomers in hot eli
mate are more likely 10 suffer from il
than those who have become acclima-
ted. Attacks are more liable TO occur
after n full meal.
The immediate objects Of treatment
are TO reduce the heat of the body, and
in case OF collapse TO stimulate the
ncrvc-centors. Tho person should he
at once removed 20 n cool and shady
place, where there is "A free circulation

qucnt sprinkling. If the feet are cold,
they should be warmed by hot applica-
tions. A physician should at once be
summoned, and the subsequent treat
ment will be under his direction and
supervision.
Taking mild and gravcr cases to-
gethcr, nearly one-half prove fatal,
and those who revive, remain for a
long time extremely sensitive 20 the Of
fects Of heat, and arc sometimes rem
dcred invalids for life.
In order 10 prevent an attack, one
should observe great care 20 avoid OK
posure TO high temperatures, and dur
ing the hot weather should live temper
atcly, abstain from all stimulants, wear
thin flannel undcrclothing and light and
loose clothing, bathe frequently, and
when necessarily exposed TO the direct
rays OF the hot sun, wear light and
porous hat with wide brim. A wet
handkerchief placed in the hat will also,
by producing evaporation, reduce the
temperature Portidnd TrdHScrip'

Another Le..on for American Girls.


The suicide Of notorious edventurer,
Baron Scheurer, after the conviction OF
his accomplice and alleged wife for swim
ding insurance companies, recalls the
unpleasant Incident OF his marriage to q
young lady in Brooklyn in 1878, who
belonged to respectable family. Within
six weeks from the marriage the Baron
deserted her, and his career since has
been that of versatile scoundrel.
The American victim of this titled
criminal, like msny other American girls,
was fascinated by the rank snd snowy
qualities of foreign noblemsn, about
whose character and antecedents she

Jim McDaniels was one of the most

It was perhaps fifteen years ago when he
was running thester, saloon and gam

then In the height Of its glory. 1t was
the distribul ling point for the great Black
Hills country, and which was then re-
ceiving such heavy irflux CT immigrs-

"The place was packed with soldiers,
bull whsckers, mule-purchers, teemsters,
freighters, cnttlemen, drummers, pros
pectoTs and, in fact, every class Of people
on the fsce Of the earth. Gambling,
drinking, dancing, csrousing, fighting an d
other little psstimes associated with cities
of that class were freely INDUCED in, and
Jim had the biggest and best place of re-
sort in the town.
Scores Of people OF sll grades gathered
at his institution early in the evening and
er joyed themselves till the sun climbed
the mountains high the next morning, and
warned the motley gathering that Chey-
enne's nocturnal enjoyment must cease.
Jim was always on deck and wandered
from one part Of his vast structure to
suother, perfectly possessed, soter
industrious, gentlemsnly, with smile
lighting up his genial countensnce.
"He nipped inclpient rows in the bud,
settled disputes among all classes,
trested those who were so unfortunate ss
to be broke, set up the suppers and
lunches to the hungry, quietly cleared the
place Of chronic fighters, made the cow
boys and teamsters deposit their guns
with his hautensnts, and was liked and
respected by all wao knew him.

and would walk into the midst of a row
with as much nerve as you or would sit
down to dinner. he WAS considered

and was clearing $50, 900 year."
The speaker sighed and then said:
"Alas and alack Misfortune overlook
him snd he lost great deal of money.
He was burned out several times and
