THE LAST GOOD NIGHT.

They hold. and scarce win let me 90
And all because they love me 80.

The future seems unveiled 20 met
Il IS my turn, though all In vain,
To long 70 say good night" again

No chamber echoes to their tread,
The last good night has long been said.
And by his flreside desolate.
An old man sits. resigned to wait
Recalling joys that used to be.
And faces that be may not see
Therefore, what bliss Is mine that now

And feel the arms that clasp me tight.

The effects OF undue exposure to heat
vary widely, and are by no means al
ways proportionate to the temperature
to which the person has been exposed.
The 30 called sun stroke. or heat stroke,
may occur either In the direct rays Of
the sun or in hot rooms. such as laundry
rooms or the holds of steamships. At
tacks may occur In the night as well as
during the day, and. in general. are TO
be feared at times when the atmosphere
Is loaded with moisture, SO that free per-
spiration is checked. Experience shows
that the drinking of ice water. when the
body Is overheated, is-a prolific cause Of
these attacks All degrees of severity
are met with, from the lightest attack Of
headache and dizziness to the sudden
stroke which ends in death within few
minutes. Some authorities would make
three distinct degrees Of heat prostra-
ton, although the line is seldom dis
tinctly drawn in any given case.
The first variety includes those cases
which show nothing more than sudden
faintness, muscular weakness and dizzi-
ness. with, perhaps, nausea and vomit-
ing. The surface of the body is cool,
the pulse rapid and feeble. In such cases
rest in recumbent position in cool
place for few hours will generally give
relief.
In the second class of cases, the respis
ration and heart action are affected, and
the patient may die suddenly Of syncopc.
Active measures must be entered upon
at once. The patient should lie removed
to cool spot. the clothing removed or
ioosened. and cold water applied 10 the
head. Complete recovery from the eff
fects may not take place for years.
The third form is the most severe, and
in the majority Of cases proves fatal.
The sufferer becomes unconscious, the
skin is dry, the pulse slow and full, the
face flushed, and the breathing labored.
Generally thereis entire Inconsistencies,
and sometimes commissions. The tenn.
perature runs excessively high, and the
first attempt should be to bring it to the
normal point. For this purpose cold
baths and the application Of Ice are iildi.
Gated. AS soon as the temperature Ii
lessened stimulation must becommenced
to counteract the great depression which
always follows. Il Is important to re,
member tinat there IS little danger from
heat so long as the perspiration Is free.
By bearing this in mind many who are
exposed might no doubt avert the threat.
ened attack by leaving work and seeking
shelter as soon as the diminution in per-
epiration Is noticed. New Orleans Plea.

Winter Built HOuses.

The singular fact is mentioned that
while in Great Britain building opera
tions are suspended on the slightest ap-
proach of frost, bricklaying is carried on
in Norway during almost the coolest
weather that prevails for any time. Thus,
in Christiana, building during the winter
months, it is stated, has now been prac-
ticed for at least twelve years, but more
frequently during the last five, all the
buildings thus erected having stood re-
markahly well. Experience has not shown
quently more dampness than those erect
ed in summer. The reverse may be the
case, since the difference between the
tenn perature of the air and of the mortar
nools the latter by evaporation and takes
away great part of the moisture. Ac-
oording TO the opinion of the principal
builders in Christiana, bricklayers' York,
executed with due cale in winter, is really
superior to similar work done in summer
the whole art of such work in frosty
weather consisting simply in the use of
unslacked lime, the mortar prepared with
which is to be made in small quantities
Immediately before use, the proportion
of lime being increased as the thermom-
eter falls. The only care required is to
utilize the unslacked lime so handily and
quickly as TO enable the mortar to blend
with the bricks before it cools. Another
very important condition is that the
bricks be always kept covered on the
building site

Racine Witnesses Quiet Sunday With Little
Drunkenness.
RACINE, Wis. The proclama-
ton of Mayor Mitchell TO the saloon
keepers of the city, IN regard to the Sun
day closing law, was very generally OBJ
served here Sunday last The sentiment
of most of the people seems to be in
acco rdance with the proclamation, and
the report that drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct were the rule yesterday
are false. Occasionally a man trlf1e
the worse for liquor was seen, but cases
were rare. If much drinking was done it
was kept quiet. Che saloons were all
rigidly closed and did not attempt to
evade the proclamation. movement is
On foot by the ssloonkeepers to compel
cessstion of all other business, but it has
not yet acquired much head way, and il is
impossible to predict now what the result
will be. The opposition TO the closing
of the saloons will probably endeavor to
make the mayor end his associates all the
trouble they can, and extended litigation
and conflict will probably follow.

IT is not to the credit of the religious
press that it has sedulousIy avoided all
adverse criticism of modem evangelism,
such as we see exemplified by coarse
wits like Sam Jones. The Arkansas Meth
odist, the official organ of the confer
snces OF the Methodist Episcopal church
south, is among the first to see that good
cannot come to the methods of the class
to which we have alluded. The Metho-
dist declares it is opposed to modem
evangelism because it "cannot believe it
is good for cur church. It is not nec-
essary. It is not expedient. 1t would be
a little remarkable to hear professional
evangelists going into waste places, where
the people are poor and without pastors"
The Methodist goes on to condemn the
method which brings to the pulpit unsafe
men whose expositions of the Scriptures
no intelligent congregation can heartily
indorse, whose theologies would make a
Babel of Methodism, and whose smart
sayings tickle ungodly ears and shock
decent respect for dignity in the pull pit
and solemnity in the sanctuary CT God"
These are wise words and we'll spoken.

A story is told OF the famous English

There was unbroken silence.
"Then there is nothing TO be done but
TO await our fate" He touched the bell.
s'Pierre, bring up The coffee"
A story came from Switzerland year
ago of mountain guide whose name was
not preserved. He with two others, was
leading q party over one of the most pre-
CT pitous passes of the higher Alps. The
men, as is usual, were tied TO each other
by long rope.
As they scaled the wall of ice they
slipped on the edge of frightful chasm.
This man was at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was chance for
the others to regain their footing; with
it there was none.
He cast glance down at the dark abyss,
filled with fathomless SHOWS, then drew
his knife from his belt, saying quietly, TO
the man next him:
"Teu mother how it was, jose"
He cnt the the rope and fell, never to
be seen of mortal man again.

Switzerland of the pernicious character of
the Social Democrat were without result,

The man who first brought the English
sparrow to America is dead. He died a
violent death. But the English sparrow
still lives. H. has driven all the song
birds from every grove to which he has
found his way. John w. Bardsley, famil-
iarily known as "Sparrow Dick" was
thrown from his carriage in Philadelphia
last week. Prior to 1869, the measuring
worm bad been great pest in Philadel-
phia, and other cities. Every effort to
g adicate the swarms in the city squares
The philadelphia Record, in telling the
story, says: at was agreed that the man
who could find means of getting rid of
it would be a public benefactor. Mr.
Bardsey proved to be that man. While
on visit to England in 1869, Mr.. Bards-
ley received cablegram, sent by order
of city coanciis, requesting him to cap
ture about 1000 English sparrows, and
bring them with him on his return home.
He did so, and the sparrows were iber-
ated in the public squares. In short
time the insects were all gone, but the
sparrows became thicker than the worms
had been, and as great a nuisance. For
years it had been greater problem as to
how to eradicate the sparrows than it
was as to how to rid the country of the
worms" Fortunately, the sparrow has
ne right TO vote.
