few spikes and hammer, he could climb
blank walls and lofty chimneys like fly.
~ year or two ago he was employed us
derrick rigger in big stone quarry in
North st. Louis. One day lie wanted to
90 down TO the quarry in hurry; but
there was no means of getting off the
precipicc on which he stood except by
the derrick rope or a long walk around.
The rope was six feet away, hanging over
chasm 200 feet deep, cushioned with
granite block; but Anderson jumped for
it, caught it, and went down safely, hand
under hand. The same day IN ambitious
lrishlnan, who saw the feat performed,
attempted to duplicate it, and was killed.
He had the courage, but he lacked the

The very idea Of all the stars repre-

agreeable To the sentiment of nationality.
and the flag thus arranged would be very
beautiful ut II distance. Ii the stars are
more crowded ri the centre, that only
gives the impression Of nucleus. In
hiany ways this arrangement is excellent.
How shall new stars be added: There
is no great difficulty about that. A
torty-third star can lie placed in the
centre. When there are forty-fou or

Of 20, 900 nominal, or %, 900 actual horse

screws and two engines are connected to
the shaft of each screw, hut one screw
can be stopped altogether if the vessel is

sailing, one engine only may be used for
each screw; but, in case il should be nee

Remedy for Sunstr0I,es.

Whatever is to be done in this dis
ease, must be done quickly. Clinical, as
well rs experimental observations, en-
forces this doctrine. There should in
SUCH cases be no waiting for the doctor.
The remedy is SO simple, the death SO
imminent, that the good Samaritan pass
ing by should save his brother. The
good Samaritan, must, however, have
cool head to be useful. Not every
man who falls unconscious OH Il hot day
mas sunstroke. There is fortunately one
criterion so easy of application that any
one can use it. Go ut once to the fallen
man, open his shirt bosom and lay the
hand upon his chest; if the skin be cool,
you may rest assured that whatever is
the trouble, it is not sunstrokc. If, on
the contrary, the skin be burning hot,
the case is certainly sunslrokc, and no
time should be lost. The patient should
be carried to the nearest pump or hy-
drant, stripped to his waist, and bucket
fai after bucketful of cold water dashed
over him until consciousness begins to.
return, or the intense heat of the surface
decidedly abates.--St Louis Magazine.

Four New Stars to The Fling.

The flag of the United States is con-
tinuhly getting out of order. Thirteen
stripes and thirty eight stars compose the
flag at the present moment, but in few
months four Territories will become
States, and the flag will be wrong again.
Nor is it so very easy II matter to add
four stars to Il constellation which is al
ready inc0nveniently large. 1T the dis
lance OF quarter of mile, it is often
impossible 20 make out that the part of
the lag called the union is composed
II stars.
When iour rev ones are added, the
stars will have to lie still smaller, and,
before many years have passed away, the
Number may Gc increased to Efiy or more.
Oar ll"g-i,akcrs are already consider
