 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 14.-Minneap- oils and St. Paul almost by miracle es- capped the severe effect of cyclone late Sunday afternoon. At o'clock the funnel formed few miles north of Minneapolis.

In Regard to Sunstroke.

Sunstroke is one of the Affections to
which humanity is liable in summer dur
ing the hottest of the weather. Heat and
moisture together seem to be the condi-
lions most favorable to its occurrence, for
moisture in warm air prevents the radia-
ton OF heat from the body, and thermal
fever, or sunstroke, as it is called, is prob
ably an overheating of the blood, pro-
ducing chemica! or fermentive changes in
1T which are inimical to health and even to
life. When, therefore, during the heated
term, one who has been exposed to the
suns heated rays in a humid atmosphere
begins to suffer from headache, giddiness,
nausea and disturbance of sight accom-
panied with sudden and great prostration
of the physical forces, sunstroke is prob
ably imminent.
If such a one is wise he will, when the
symptoms above given manifest them
selves, Immediately seek cool place and
make use of some simple restoratives, such
as aromatic ammonia, ETC., and he may
avoid further trouble. But if he persists
with his business he will doubtless soon be-
come very ill, which illness usually takes
the form of heat exhaustion, heat apoplexy
or genuine sunstroke, the thermic fever of
some writers. Those who are exhausted
by the heat have a cool, moist skin, a
rapid, weak pulse and respiration move
ment, and the pupil of the eye is diated.
In fact the symptoms are those of collapse.
These patients Will probably recover
promptly, an event which may be fastened
by the use Of a tonic and restorative treat
ment.-Boston Herald

Uranus was discovered by Sir William
Herschel in 1871. The other planets then
known had been observed ever since men
began studying the stars. Herschel,
sweeping the heavens with his reflector,
came upon an object that he knew was not
a fixed star. In day or two it had moved,
and he announced the discovery of comet,
for no one dreamed of the existence of an
other planet. 1t was nearly year before
its claim to be planet was fully estab-
lished
The excitement caused by the unlocked
for event was very great, and honor and
fame were HerschePs reward. King
George Ill knighted the discoverer, en-
dowed him with a pension and provided
him with means for constructing the
forty foot reflector with which he after
ward discovered the two inner satellites of
Saturn. 1t was found by reckoning back
that several other astronomers had made
observations on the star, but had not dis
covered its true character
Little is known of Uranus, the smallest
OF the four giant members of the system,
making its slow circuit round the sun in
eighty-four years, at mean distance OF
eighteen hundred millions Of miles There
are indications in its spectrum of a dense
atmosphere, its disc is hattened at the
poles and faint bands or belts are visible
on its surface.
The satellites of Uranus are an unsolved
problem. Herschel discovered two satel-
lites in l7s7, and announced the discovery
of four more in 119s. No other observer
has ever seen them, although the younger
Herschel made diligent search for them

The carbonate of ammonia is an exceed
ingly volatile substance. Place a small
portion of it upon a knife and hold over a
flame and it will almost Immediately be
entirely developed into gas and pass off
into the air. The gas thus formed is a
simple composition of nitrogen and hydro
gen. No residue is left from the ammonia
This gives it its superiority as leavening
power over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use as a supple
ment to these articles. A small quantity
of ammonia in the dough is effective in
producing bread that will be lighter,
sweeter and more wholesome than that
risen by any other leavening agent. When
it is acted upon by the heat of baking the
leavening gas that raises the dough is lib
Grated. In this act it uses itself up, as it
were-the ammonia is entirely diffused,
leaving no trace or residuum whatever.
The light, fluffy, flaky appearance, so de-
sirable in biscuits, etc, and so sought after
by professional cooks, is said to be i'm

Writing on English Servants" Julian
ralph has this to say in Harper's Weekly:
"rhe servants are distinct breed from
ours. Their work is performed with cheer
fulness, their manners are deferential,
Their ambition seems to be to keep the fam
lily good Will and their own places. All hail
TO castel A humbug and fraud in every
other way, it yet does that much good; 1t
permits servants to be contented, and
therefore faithful in their places. But |

who waited upon me at hotels The girl
at Laurences, in Liverpool, who waits on
table in the coffee room, was very anxious
TO hear about America. Her intended is
here, but she was the only servant who
spoke to me who was not anxious to come
to America. 1t was because her lover Is
here that she did not want to emigrate.
III follow no man that lives she said;
IL Pm not worth fetching Pm not worth
having
But the number of servants, male and
female, who managed before | left Eng
land to hint that they would like chance
to so to America, and who had 'huncles'
or brothers over here, made a consider
able total. One pompous head waiter in
London offered to be my valet across the
water if l would pay his fare When it
fell out, even upon a chance visit to a
friend in lodgings, with whom / took cold
luncheon, that the buttons who carved
the meat desired 'sitooation' in America,

the nature Of the choice he had between

tresses' clothing. And they talk about their

Try powdered charcoal or magnesia, lime
water or soda till you find which suits best,
but have the latter ready, for a cup Of hot
soda water taken in time will often prevent
the worst summer attacks of nausea and
cramps. 1t may be your lot, as it has been
mine more than once, to want soda for
some victim in distress, only to find that
neither house nor shop could produce a
pinch of baking soda, obsolete since the
advent of baking powder. Keep down the
acid tendency and you prevent pimples,
redness and rawness Of the face, fishy eyes
and unpleasant odor of the perspiration.
