When Sunstroke Is Prevalent.

We generally find that-when sunstroke
is prevalent the atmospheric conditions
are of a certain and definite character.
These are found not only in an elevated
temperature, but great degree Of hui
Nudity or moisture of the air. As long as
we have dry air the degree of heat that
we can endure without much discomfort
is very considerable compared to that
when the air Is. full of moisture. The ex-
PLANTATION of this is simply due to the fact
that evaporation and loss of heat from
the skin and lungs is markedly interfered
with. the already moist air being unable
to take up and relieve US of the Usual
amount of moisture This, coupled with
the increased heat, Is placing us in a po-
sition where our internal production is
very apt to be decidedly increased. The
only way we have of compensating under
these conditions is by lessening exertion,
light or modified diet and light clothing
These, coupled with the ever present in
fiuence from the heat center, under nor
NAL conditions, will usually protect u.s.

Chance for an Inventor.

A Appointment Minnesotan once said that
it made him inexpressibly sad to see the
richness of the soil'go away in the thou
sands of,bushels of wheat, never to return
If he had struck balance between the
wheat sent out and the dollars sent in,
and with this in his pocket gone down the
river about two miles below the suspen-
sion bridge, and gazed over the bank into
the Mississippi, he would have seen a
sight that would have made him 50 much
sadder that he would doubtless weep from
anguish.
Here the banks are about sixty feet
high. and hero the city hasbuilt series
of chutes from the top of the bluff to the
water below, In each of which is kept con-
stantly flowing a three inch stream of
water These, except for the wasted wa
ter, are innocent enough, but down these
chutes go each day from 800 to 1000
wagon loads of the richest manure.
Is this of so little value as fertilizer
for the decreasing richness of the soil, or
is the need OF fertilizing the whole Missis-
sippi river so great that this is the best
disposition to make of this2 Oh. for an
inyentor who knows how to enrich the
wasting soil and purify the contaminated

"Installment Plan" Clothing.

"There is another scheme which has
become popular within few years" said
one of these merchants. You have
probably noticed that the majority of
young clerks and counter jumpers are
very well dressed. Their clothes are Of

and they generally have several suits.
Now, the majority of these young men

pay their board. How do they buy SO

is willing to trust them. They select

down, and agree to pay s. week until
they are fully paid for. The consequence
is, they.are always well dressed. but they
are always in debt to their tailor It's
better for them though. for they would
only spend their money foolishly and
never have decent suit to wear if they
had to pay cash for their spring or fan
suit before they enjoyed the privilege Of
wearing. The tailor makes about 35 per
cent. profit, bat the boys are contented,
and very seldom fail te,pay all they agree

And to spare, when all is told;
And love must mourn its losses,
And the cheeks soft bloom grow old;
But the spell of the craven spirit
Turns blessing into curse,
While the bold heart meets the trouble
That easily might be worse.
