day at Charlotte, N. G, in pile of cot.
ton seed ut the Oliver oil mill. About a
week ago the boy was seen playing around
the mill and digging holes in a pile of
cotton seed hulls. He was driven away
and was not seen again until his dead

the pile of hulls when no one was looking

How to Avoid sunstroke.

There is no time of the year when men
and women should be more careful and
msthodicslin in their habits than during mid
summer when dangers lufk ca every hand
either from excessive heat or from defective
sanitation. Each year medical men not
only give public warnings OF the subject,
but supplement their uttersnoes with simple
hints, which, if needed, would prevent much
sickness. especially among those people who
are compelled to remain in the city during
the heated term. In recent contribution
to medical journal DR.. Edwin G. Mann, Of
New York, city has this to cay on The avoid
ance OF eunstroke:
To avoid suustroke exercise In excessive
IL hot weather should be very moderate; !;
the clothing should be thin aud loose. and
an abundance of cold water should be drunk.
Workmen and soldiers understand that ss
soon as they cease to perspire while WORK
ug or marching in the hot sun they are In
danger CT suustroke, and they should imme-
diately drink water freely and copiously, to
afford matter for cntaneous transpiration;
keep the skin and clothing wet with water.
Impending sunstroke may often be warded
off by these simple measures Besides tho
cessation of perspiration, the pupils are apt
to be contracted and there is frequency Of
micturition. If there is marked exhaustion,
with weak pulse, resulting from the cold
water application, We should administer
stinulan g.
The free use OF water, however, both ex.
teEnally and internally, By those exposed to
the direct rays of the sun is the hest pro-
phylactic against sunstroke, and labor
ers and soldiers and others who adopt this
measure, washing t0elr hands and faces ss
well as drinking copiously of water every
time they come within reach of it, will gen.
orally onjoy perfect immu0ity from sue
stroke, Straw hats should be worn, yenti-
lated at the top, end the crown OF the hat
filled with green leaves or wet sponge. 1t
is better to wear thin flannel sbirte in order
not to check perspiration. We may expose
ourselves for q long time in the bot sun and
work or sleep ln heated room aud enjoy
perfect immunity from sunstroSe if we keep
our skin and clothes wet with water.

He Killed the Alhatross.

The leg of ths English bark Selkirkshire
now lying at Brooklyn, coniaic record
quite in line with the superstition that sail
ols from the tine of Coeridge's Ancient
Mariner" to to-day have associated with the
abatrosa. When the bark waa on her way
from Australia to England q sailor known
as 'Aec" became crazy from the effects of
the tropical sun. He imagined he wss an
elbatross.
The second and fourth mates caught an
immense albatross one afternoon with bGited
hook aud line When the bird was killed
and he wirgs were stretched on deck they
measured 20 fest from tip to zip. The long
bones were removed from the wings aud
laid on the deck to dry. There was gilt
Ter in Alec's eye when he saw the wings
aud with wild cry he plugged bis arms
through the holows left by the removal OF
the long bones and u ,unted the rail.
"Wbo SAYS that Alec can nae fee.' he
shouted, and jumped from the rail into the
sea, which was running very high TIE
fog was thick A life belt was thrown over
board and the second mate, c!apping anoth-
er on himself, jumped after the crazy
man. An attempt was made TO launch t6e
ifeboat, bat it was dashed TO pieces against
the ships side. A boat was finally launched
from the yerdarm and he men pulled away
through the fog. The second mate was
picked up Eeariy dead from exhaustion,
aud within twenty feet ofhim was Alec.
The a!batross wings had kept him floating
bravely on top Of the waves and ne was wild
with excitement. He wA4 hauled into the
boat. but instantly Jumped overheard. TIE
mate hauled Alec in again By bis long beard
and hit him Oh the head with an axe 20 keep
him quiet
The boat was half filed with water and
the ship out of sight. The men rcwed for
FIVE hours and were mutteriDg under their
bresths against Alec when the ship was
finally sighted. The sailors were go excited
over the occurrence that the captain order
ed the albatross' winga thrown into the sea.
Alec tried to stab the fourth mate as sooI as
he recovered consciousness and was kept in
solitary confinement thereafter until Eng
land was reached, when he wsa placed in
an ssylum. For his bravery the second
mate was presented with the medal of the
Royal Humane Society of England.
