When sunstrole Is Prevalent.

We generally find that when sunstroke
Is prevalent the atmospheric conditions
are of certain and definite character.
These are found not only in an elevated
temperature, but a great degree Of hu-
midity 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-
planation Of this Is simply due to the fact
that evaporation and loss Of heat from
the skin and lungs is marked. 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 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
tiuence from the heat center, under nor,
NAL conditions, will usually protect US

The Dolls of SayaCes.

The Sitka girls have dolls Of leather
black. greasy looking creatures, regret
TO say, with beads FOR eyes and mouth,
and dresses of fur. They have also o
poorer doll, of clay, with the nose formed,
when the clay was soft, by the summary
process of good pinch in the face, and a
lavish display Of beads made by small
punches In the same soft material. The
dress of these Sitka babies is simple--a
piece of coarse Indian cloth wound around
the body and tied on with a rag.
Another leather doll belongs to the lit
tie Micmac girl. This is finer than the
last named, however, for the leather is
light colored; and 1t has nose not
pinched up in front, but punched out
From behind. and held In shape by some
thing hard. 1t has black beads for eyes,
and mouth and eyebrows of black paint.
In dress 1t Is quite grand; moccasins,
leggins and calico gown, with liberal
amount of bead trimmings and necklaces.
The small Sioux maiden also has doll OF
leather, black, and with beads for eyes
and mouth.-Olve Thorne Miller In St

The London Foot guards are troubled
over the threatened abolishment of their
shogy bearskin hats. which are worn at
present by three Of their brigades The
supply OF bearskin has diminished ex-
ceedinsly of late, 80 that now each hat
is worth about $8S. These bearskins are
practically useless. except for the pur-
poses of display, and are even then only
suited for cold climates. But they are

MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Peeps laughing DER the hills, and glances

The darkness and the shrouding mists of blue;
And soon the mountains are aglow with light.

There, In the deep ravirAe, bursts on the view

With noisy fluttering OF little wings,
From out the chaparral songster springs,
And grects with rapturous notes the daylight fair
