IN REGARD TO sUNSTRoKE.V
The Things to be Done to Avoid It,
or When It Occurs.

Sunstroke is one of the Affections TO
which humanity is liable in summer.
during the hottest of the weather. Heat
anu moisture together seem to be the
conditions most favorable to its occur
renee, for moisture in warm air prevents
the radiation of heat from the body, and
thermal fever. or sunstrokc, Is it is
called, is probably IN ovcrhca;ing of the
blood, producing chemical or fermcntivc
changes in it which are inimical % health
and even to life. When. therefore, dur
my the heated term. one who ha, been
exposed to the suns heated rays in a
humid atmosphere begins to suffer from
+ headache, giddines>. Nausea and dis
turbance of sight. accompanied with sud
den and great prOStration nf the
physical forces, sunstrokc is probably
imminent.
If such a one is wise. he will.
when the symptoms above given mani
fest themselves, immediately seek cool
place and make use of some simple
restOratives, such rs aromatic ammonia,
etc, and he may avoid further trouble.
but if he persists with his business he
will doubtless soon become very ill.
which illness usually takes the form of
heat exhaustion. heat apOplexy, or gen
uine sunstroke. the thermc fever of some
writers. Those who are exhausted by
the heat have cool. moist skin. a rapid,
weak pulse and respiration movement,
and the pupil of the eye dilated. In
fact, the symptoms are those of collapse
These patients will probably recover
promptly, an event which MAJ be
fastened by the use o! tonic ard
restorative treatment
Those who suffer from heat apoplexy
frequently become unconscious at the
outset. The heart and keathing appar-
atus are not markedly disturbed. and the
pupil may be normal, but unconscious
ness deepens and the cafe runs on to a
final termination. An artery has been
broken in. the brain, and the poured out
blood pressing on the nerve centres,
brings about the fatal event. A treat
ment calculated to draw the blood from
the brain to the extrenitics, hot foot
baths, bleedings, etc., promises to be the
most useful in such cases
The thermic fever patient is uncon-
scious and convulsed, and his body tenn
perature may be 1903 degrees Fahrenheit
that is, about ten degrees above the
normal. The skin of this patient feels
as though it would burn your hand when
laid thereon. In this case the thorough
and prompt application OF cold is needed.
Ice to the head and cod water TO the
body generally will be in order.
Medical advice and assistance should
be promptly had in eitler of the two
cases last referred to, Complete recov-
cry from sunstroke is rare, the brain being
permanently crippled or Effected. Resi-
dcnce in a cold climate, i is said, affords
most hope for such patents. : Boston

now uail is Formed.

a correspondent of Nature contributes
to that journal a theory of the formation
of hail, which is so short and clear that
it will interest many readers who have
at times opportunity to test its correct
ness.
Limiting our notice to such compound
hailstones rs are the most destructive,
and are produced during a tornado or a
violent thunder storm, the following is,
in a few words, the theory of their forma-
ton:
When the winds gyrate rapidly round
an axis, more o less inclined to the
earth, the space at and about the axis is
rarefied. When air charged with vapor
is drawn into this rarefed space, it may
be condensed into cloud or rain, but at
a greater elevation into snow.
Now supposing the rain formed in the
lower region to be drawn up by the as
cending current into the snow region
and so held for a short space, the drops
will be frozen, and then, if propelled be-
yond the gyrations, it will fall to the
ground as a shower of ordinary hail.
But if in the descent they are again
drawn in by the inlowing current, they
will be again carried up into the cold
region, and SO acquire another coating
of snow, or. if wetted in the previous
descent, the water will freeze into a coat
of transparent ice. In this way the
globule may make a number of ascents
and descents, and acquire afresh coating
each time.

A Deputx,s Eccentricitx.

NJ. Thivrier, a w%orkingman, elected as
such to the present chamber of deputies
in France, wears all the time in public
the blouse which is the badge of a la
borer in that country. NJ. Thivrier be-
gan work in the coal mines at Common
toy, France, when twelve years old, and
for twenty years remained in them, han
ding the pick. Afterward he became a
v%inegrower and dealer in wines. He is
a Socialist, but not a communist, "for,
having" as a French paper puts it, SAC
quired his capital by his own hard work,
he cannot easily understand how that
capital should belong to all the world"
Through all his career he has stuck to
his w%orkingman's blouse, and it was
largely upon the strength of that pecu-
liarity that he was elected a deputy. He
is said to be a man of unusual intelli-
gence and a good speaker. When he
came to Paris to take his seat his blouse,
which he wore not only at the chamber
but at receptions and all other functions
which he attended. made him at once
famous.-Paris Letter.

Tho Word Jew,

A gentleman writing to The Jewish
Exponent, Of Philadelphia, says: "Sev-
eral years ago I commenced writing for
the daily papers, making a speciality of
Jewish news. For several weeks, when
Il of the copy-readers would handle
my copy fer tie first time, l would be
call I'd to the front and warned not to
use the word Jew, as some of our lead
ing Jewish residents had frequently
taken the paper to task for using the
word. viewing its usage as an intended
slur, and this was said to a paper whose
advertising columns TEEN with the
names of representative Jewish mer-
chants"
The readers of The Tidings will OBJ
serve that this paper does not hesitate to
use the word Jew whenever occasion de-
mands. In fact, the word is infinitely
preferable to that of Hebrew, and i'm
plies a great deal more. The word Jew
has come to be regarded as referring to
religion, and the word Hebrew to Ian
guage.
Those Jews who object to reference to
them as Jews are a sorry lot and deserve
sympathy.-Rochester Jewish Tidings.

What Insomnia Is.

INSOMNIA is not pain; that is, physical
pain. 1t is something in the nature of a
blank, a dead, level, sandy desert on
which there rests a dull glare. One
thinks necessarily and incoherently. An
impression inserts itself in the vagrant
thoughts to the effect: eff I don't sleep
soon it will be idiocy, heart disease or
DEATH" Under the influence of this i'm
preston, the insomnia, which, at the
outset, was the symptom of some local
disorder, becomes itself a disease.
One lies with open eyes staring into
the darkness. The dire possibilities of
the future, the interruption to business,
the ardent, intense desire to sleep, ali
fit through the night, like dim and
menacing %phantasms. The days are op-
pressive. The body is weak, the brain
confused, the blood sluggish. An over
towering tendency to sleep possesses the
tired frame. He throws himself down
on a bed with the impression that he
must and will sleep for weeks; he drops
into a doze and in an instant later wakes
with a start, and then is as wide awake
as ever; if a wicked man he filings off the
covering with bitter malediction, and
with tired frame and dulled soul re-
sumes his daily task.-Chicago Herald.

A Formidable Weapon.

Extreme low water in the Mississippi
recently unearthed an historical relic at
the ferry landing at Columbus, KY, in
the shape of a huge, old fashioned COL
umbiad, which did duty during the late
war in the hands Of the ~Confederates.
Those familiar with the history of the
formidable weapon state that it played a
conspicuous part in the battle Of Bel
mont, Mo-, in the fall of 1861, and that
from its lofty perch on the bluffs above
Columbus it sent many a huge shell
screaming across the river into Grants
army, and that it had more to do with
keeping the gunboats at bay than all
others at the fort. The gun is the only
remaining relic Of the Confederate forti-
ffcations erected at Columbus, KY, thir-
ty years ago.-Chicago Times.

Bad Bacri Pasha.

The history of Bacri Pasha is an excel
lent illustration of how things are done
in Turkey. This man was some years
ago the project of Para. During his
term of office the burglaries that took
place became so frequent that at last
suspicion arose that there must be some
collision between the authorities and the
housebreakers. Detectives were set to
work, and it was o discovered that
Bacri Pasha, the project, was a partner
with the burglars and shared their plum
der.
The man was arrested and tried, and
sc convincing and overwhelming. was
the evidence that he was convicted and
sentenced to five years. imprisonment
with hard labor. But, to the astonish-
ment of everybody, he was reprieved
and shortly afterward nominated gov
ernor of Scutari, the post he now holds.
This story is a fair sample of what hap
pens every day in Turkey and carries a
lesson with it which any intelligent per-
o may read for himself. The censor
ship of the press has now Been carried
to such point that the local newspapers
at Constantinople are worthless for any
purpose of information whatever.-New
York Telegram.

Secular Education in Japan.

A returned missionary, who has been
many years in Japan, has just been
showing some curious effects Of culture
in that country. 1t seems that the
Japanese have seized upon the idea of
secular education with great avidity.
While only 1000 children go to school
where religious knowledge is a part Of
the curriculum, over 5000, 900 attend
where the teaching is purely agnostic.
The young men develop a keen love for
metaphysical doctrine and research, but
their favorite authors are Mill, Spencer,
Darwin and Huxley. As this tendency
is accompanied by great demand for
English teachers. however, n would
think that the missionaries had the
means of opposing it in their own hands.

An Unhappy Position.

The man who seeks a wife for the pur.
pose of securing the means of living with
out working does not merit the respect
OF the meanest person that walks about
the earth. His intentions are so mani
fest that they deceive no one. He plans
his attack with the ingenuity of a general,
Hisis an aggressive courtship, and a hyp.
ocritical one As well. BE cannot afford
to let the flame flicker for a moment. BE
must act the role of deception continu-
ally. II there should ever come the mo-
ment when a feeling of self independence
and self respect enters the young wom-
ans mind, his hopes in that instant may
beshattered beyond redemption. There

and q constant recourse to hypocrisy

Fingers which are smooth denote a

OF intuition, rather than by reason, cal

denote a tendency to order and arrange

A Big Brain.

The brain of the maniac homicide,
Daley, who killed j.. G. G. Kennedy
some years ago, and who committed sui
eide at st. Elizabeth's a few days since,
has been examined. 1t was found to
weigh ffty-nine and a quarter ounces,
thirteen or fourteen ounces more than
the average weight of a mans brain. 1t
was to all appearances in good order, and
exhibited no symptoms of disease or
malformation, so far as could be told,
though microscopical examination may
show some. If an expert should be
shown Daley's brain, and not know any
thing about the man, he would probably
regard it as the brain of a very intelli-
gent man.-Washington Post.
