Small Arms in Warfare.

The Springfield rifle was called an
"obsolcte" affair compared with Euro.
pean small arms by Senator Teller dur
inc the consideration of the Fortications
bill in the Senate. That may be true,
comparing it with the best magazine ri
fes; yet 1t is still an open question
whether in actual contest the Springfield
would not hold its own, especially if the
infantry fighting was of any duration.
The dcsirability of transforming the
Springfield model into magazine gun
seems to have been decided in the neg.
ative by the experts at the national ar
mory, the position taken being that an
entirely new model would have to be
accepted if the change was decided
upon. And meanwhile our small arms
experts are closely watching experiments
everywhere with improved magazine
models, so that when the time comes that
the Government wants another gun the
best in the world may be produced. On
the other hand, constant tests at the M
tional armory in this city demonstrate
that many of the new models invented in
Europe and this country cannot cope
with the perfect Springfield loader as an
all around weapon for the battlefield

product is stated to resemble a good
meat soup in its taste, to be at least
equally digcstiblc, and, at the same time,
to surpass the very best meat soup in nu-

BoraH Baths.

Delicate women, says the Detroit jour-
nal, writers and scdcntary persons who
feel chilly even in the summer should
never sit without foot-warmers or fur
lined slippers if at all chilly y. Mental
exercises exhausts the bodily heat. You
remember how George Eliot always was
chilly when writing, and many profcs'
sioral worker recognizes the familiar
feeling. Hot baths, with plenty of borax
in the water, and friction aftcrward, get
up healthy action of the skin, which
leaves the face fair ard opal-tintcd hours
aftcrward.
One of the most beautiful compilations
I knew is kept by this practice, Joined to

and bright after such bath, but if you
want to insure their brilliancy pharma'
cist who studies these things says one
must cat freely of tomatoes for the sake
of the atrophine or its kindred quality
they contain. Certainly, wholesome
tomatoes keep skin and eyes in good
condition as far as food can do it.

WORDS OF WIsDON.
uI will" is a miracle worker.

~ Will, lS lllIdClC NOihCls
A man without faults has no friends.
Our heaviest burdens are those we
borrow.
The man who won't bend will some
day have to break.
Genius may be swift, but perseverance
has the surest feet.
The man who dyes his whiskers never
fools but one person.
The purchasing power of money is
confined to this earth.
The man who never looks ahead will
always be behindhand.
Tombstones are more charitable than
a good many living people.
The most expensive thing that can
happen to you is to be wrong.
No rich man was ever happy unless he
used his money to make others so.
1t makes the best of us mad all over
to be told the truth about ourselves.
You can't make somebody else happy
without getting in the same condition
yourself.

clear dog there is in man, find out how
he treats his wife.
There are men who would growl that

How to Keep Fish When Caught.

Of the cree! ard kill the fish rs soon IL
caught by hitting them Il sharp blow on
the back Of the head. If the weather is
hot, clean the morning catch at noon,
and every few hours dip the crccl in the
stream. The best way to keep fish to
take home is as follows: Clean them
thoroughly, taking care to remove the
gills and the blood under the backbone,
wipe dry inside and out, but do not wash
them; sprinkle them inside with black
pepper, but on no account use salt.
Pack in cool, fresh grass and keep them
in the shade. If ice is used it should be
put in a tin can or at least at the bottom
of the creel, for it spoils the flavor of
ish to have them soaking in water

Preventing and Treating Sunstroke.

SunstrOkc IS one OIL inc allllctlOnS 10
which humanity is liable in summer,
during the hottest of the weather. Heat
and moisture together seem to be the con-
ditions most favorable to its occurrence,
for moisture in warm weather prevents
the radiation of heat from the body, and
thermal fever, or sunstroke, asst is called,
is probably an overheating of the blood,
producing chemical or fcrmcntivo
changes in it which are inimical to
health and even to life. When, there.
fore, during the heated term one who has
been exposed to the suns heated rays in
humid atmosphere begins to suffer
from headache, giddiness, nausea and
disturbance of sight, accompanied with
sudden and great prostration of the phys
ical forces, sunstroke is probably immi-
nent. If such one is wise he will when
the symptoms above givcnmanifest them
selves, Immediately seek a cool place and
make use of some simple restorativcs,
such as aromatic ammonia, etc., and he
NAV avoid further trouble; but if he per-
sist in his business he will doubtless soor
become very ill, which illness soon takes
the form OF heat exhaustion, heat apo
plryv, or genuine sunstrokc, the thcrmic
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 IS
dilatcd. In fact, the symptoms are those
of collapse. These patients will proba-
bly, recover promptly, an event which
may be fastened by the use of tonic
and restorative treatment. Those who
suffer from heat apoplcxy frequently be-
come unconscious at the outset. Tho
heart and breathing apparatus are not
markedly disturbed and the pupil may be
normal, but Inconsistencies dccpens and
the case runs on to a fatal termination.
An artery has been broken in the brain,
and the poured out blood pressing on the
nerve centcrs, brings about the fatal
event. A treatment calculated to draw
the blood from the brain to the extremi-
ties, hot foot baths, bleeding, ETC., prom
ises to be the most useful in such cases.
The thermic fever patient is unconscious
and convulsed, and his body temperature
may be 10S degrees Fahrcnheit-that is
about ten degrees above normal. This
skin of the patient feels as though it
would burn your hand when laid thereon.
In this case the thorough and prompt APP
plication of cold is needed. Ice to the
head and cold water to the body gcner-
ally will be in order. Medical advice
and assistance should be promptly had
in either of the two cases last referred
to. Complete recovery from sunstrokc
is rare, the brain being permanently
crippled or affected in many cases. Resi-
dcnce in a cold climate, it is said, az
fo:ds most hope for such patients-CM-

DE oUINCY'S DEED.
A PRIZE POEM.

Red on the morn's rim rose the sun;
Bright on the fields breast lay the dew;
Soft fell the light on sabre and gun
Grasped by the brave and true.
Death to the many and fame to the ono
Came ere the day was through.
Loud on the sweet air rang the call
Blast from the bugle and quick command;
Swift to Their saddle they vaulted ali,
Sat with the reins in hand,
Spur to the s:eeis flank, fears in thrall,
Ready to sweep the land.
"Straight to the hi,-to2. Who's there first,
We or the foe, shall win this day"
So spake De Quincy; then, like burst
Of sple1dor, he led the way;
He and his white steel both athirst
For the mad sport of the fray.
"Charge" What wild leap! One bright
Whirls, like storm cloud, up the hill;
Hoofs in fierce beat bruiso the grass,
Clang Of the steel rings Shrill;

Only babe, with the last refrain
Of the mothers song on its lips.

The Little Island Which England Has

A Berlin dispatch states that Admiral
Reinhold Werner declares that the possession
of Heligoland is mora valuable than terri
tory in Africa, because it renders blockade
of the German North Sea almost impossible,
and spares Germany the keeping OF feet
there.
Speaking of the little island which Great
Britain has just ceded to Germany, recel21
ing in return extensive territory IN Africa,
writer in Harper's Weekly says:
'.The relative value OF national possessions
Is curiously illustrated by the fact that Eng

SIXTY DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
An Illinois Man Breaks the Fasting
Record and Then Dies.

Record and Then Dies
John Roth, who outdid old Tanner in his
celebrated fast, died in the County Asylum
at Galena, ILL.,, having passed his sixtieth day
Of total abstinence from food Of any kind or
nourishment, except slight quantity Ct
water which was forced into his stomach
mechanically every twenty-four hours.
For such an absolute fast his record is, no
doubt, the longest ever made. Recently
Roth worked at Scales Mound, near Galena,
until attacked by progressive paralysis two
months ago, which incapacitated him for
work, and soon made it impossible for him to
eat. After a week OF fasting he was brought
to the County Asylum ON May %, and there
fingered for iifty-three days without food.
