HOW TO AVOID SUNSTR0KE.

There is no time of the year when
men and women should be more
careful and methodlcal in their
habits than during midsummer,
when dangers lurk on every hand
either from excessive heat or from
defective sanitation. Each year
medical men not only give public
warnings on the subject, but sup
plement their utterances with sim
pie hints, which, If needed, would
prevent much sickness, especially
among those people who are CON-
PEELED to remain in the city during
the heated term. In a recent con-
tributlon to a medical journal DR..
Edwin @. Mann, OF New York city,
has this to say on the avoidance of
sunstroke:
To avoid sunstroke exercise in
excessively hot weather should be
very moderate; the clothing should
be thin and loose, and an abund-
ance of cold water should be drunk.
Workmen and soldiers understand
that as soon as they cease to per-
splre while working or marching in
the hot sun they are in danger of
sunstroke, and they should immedl-
ately drink water freely and cOpi-
ously, to afford matter for cutane-
GUS Transportation ; keep the skin
and clothing wet with water. I'M
pending sunstroke may often be
warded of by these simple meas
ures. Besides the cessation of per.
spiration, the pupils are apt to be
contracted and there is a frequency
of micturltlon. II there is marked
exhaustion, with a weak pulse, re-
sulting from the cold water appli'
cation, we should administer stimu-
lants.
The free use of water, however,
both externaIlv and internally, by
those exposed to the direct rays OF
the sun is the best prOphylactlc
against sunstroke, and labOrers and
soldiers and others who adopt this
measure, washing their hands and
faces as we'll as drinking copiously
of water every time they come with
in reach OF it, will generally enjoy
perfect immunity from sunstroke,
straw hats should be worn, ventl-
lated at the top, and the crown OF
the hat filled with green leaves or
wet sponge. 1t is better to wear
thin flannel shirts in order not to
check perspiration. We may ex-
pose ourselves for a long time in
the hot sun and work or sleep in a
heated room and enjoy perfect i'm
munity from suustrOke if we keep
our skin and clothes wet with
water.

Literary Note.

With the April number, Murat Hal stead begins his department reviewing the current advents in the Cosmopolitan Halstead is not only vigorous thinker but most graceful writer, and his ac- quisition as a staff writer meaps not a little to the magazine. Henry Wat terson will shortly appear in the Cos mopolitan with two articles upon south ern problems.
 4 clever base ball fairy story will be one of the attractions in the Cosmopol- itan for April. This romance is entitled ''The Enchanted Base Ball." by Sidney Cowell. The story centres upon the championship game of last autumn be- tween the New York and Brooklyn clubs, who appear as the "Brobdignags" and the "Bridegrooms," the conspicu- ous players may be recognized through their thin disguIses. Twenty illustra- tions picture the striking fancies of the text. Considering the enormous in terest in the national game it is sur prising that it has not inspired any literary genius before. Other fiction In this number will be a long story of Virginia plantation life before the war, by Ihos. Nelson Page. called George Washington's Lasts sDuel," with illustra- tions by A c. Redwood, and Dickens like character sketch by Arthur Sher- burne Hardy ''The AppeDdicula" illus trated by Walter H. Goater.

The Grand Jury,

The action of the Grand Jury in ap
 pointing one of its members to critically
 examine the books of the County off
 cials, and ascertain the condition of the
 receipts and expenditures of each office
 is most gratifying to every citizen having | the interest of the county at heart. Ii | IS long since an expert was engaged fol
 such purposes, and it is quite time the people were furnished with detailed and
 itemized statements of every expense h.
 cured. The county, financially, during the year just passed, has not held its own, that IS to say, it has increased the floating debt which, since it bears inter est at the rate of 10 per cent yearly, is not at all pleasing to the taxpayers. Large sums have been paid away, such as heavy expenses of the Recorders office, surveying, water storage con- mittee, supplies, Sheriff's fees, school eI- penditures, opening or repairing streets and roads, fees and stationery to the District Attorney, printing, etc. The citizens would like to know why it is that county warrants, wbereon 10 per cent per annum is paid, fetches but eighty cents on; the dollar in open mar ket. They would be pleased to learn the reason of this county increasing its debt year by year, instead of paying of some portion of it, however small. Then, too, the question as to whether Yuma coun- 4x-, N<~l lo AL few or of the many, IS quite important. The Grand Jury have shown a truly commendable spirit in breaking away from the traditions and practices that have caused our fair county to occupy her present humiliating position. The methods of twenty years ago, are totally inadequate to the business like system of the present time. We should look forward instead of backward. It is a sad commentary upon our financial ability, when we consider that on or about the first of the current year the funded debt, bearing 12 per cent, was S110,OO0 with the outstanding warrants at 53S,OOO, making total indebtedness of S148, 900, from which may be deducted S10,OO0 for ramshackle Court House, and S7,983 cash in the treasury, subject to the payment of indebtedness In other words, Yuma county owes Si4S,0OO on which it must annually pay S11,5OO in interest. Its assets all told, including a disreputable looking building and worn out furniture, is but S17,983. The above facts speak for themselves.
 If the Grand Jury, after weighing we'll the existing circumstances, can offer practical suggestions for decreasing cur rent expenses and placing the county on the road to prosperity instead of bank ruptcy, it will deserve we'll of the people, and will be gratefully remembered Yuma Times

The Forum for April.

The Forum for April contains nota-
 ble posthumous article by the late Pres
 ident Barnard, Of Columbia College, oll
 the degradation of our politics, in winch
 he shows that the substitution of per sonal reward for public duty as the
 prime motive of political activity, has | changed the whole character of our
 government to so great degree that it
 is no longer a republic, but an.oligarchy
 of machine politics: and the popular
 conception of the functions of govern ment has itself undergone a change.
 This is perhaps the most notable of all
 President Barnard's writings. Presi- l dent Timothy Dwight, of Yale Universi- ty, lays out a proper course of study for | boy up to his eighteenth (1Sth) year, and compares the advantages Of the old time system of education and the pres ent sy tenn. He makes an interesting showing of the time wasted by the old system, but lays especial stress upon the modern production of specialists, rather than men. Frances Pc CT Cebbe makes 9 review of the changes in human nature that have been developed by modern civilization. to show wherein we are bet ter, and wherein we are worse than the ancients The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott. the successor of Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth pulpit, points out the diff ereIca between the new theology" and the mo theology" or between liberal
 orthodoxy and aInOsticlsm. He explains the idea that advanced orthodox think CTS hold of the Deity, of personal immor- tality, and of the interpretation of the Scriptures; and he shows how these differ more widely from the position of unbelievers than from the orthodoxy of the past. Chas. Dudley Warner, m an article, 'The Newspapers and the Pu blic.' undertakes to show where the blame rests for ultra-sensational papers. He undertakes to explain why it is that those newspapers that have the widest circulation, are those that meet the se- verest criticism. He finds an interest ing answer in an analysis of the Ameri- can character. Mr. c. Wood Davis, who has given long study to the subject. con structs an argument to show that the prime reason for agricultural depression Is the overprOduction of farm products. lie presents statistics showing that the increase of the production of farm pro- ducts has been greater than the increase of population. Dr. J. NJ. Charcot con- tributes another article about his experi- ments on hypnotic persons-this time to show that crimes can be committed upon hypnotized people, and how they can De induced by hypnotizers to com init crime. There is an article by Fran cis Minor, advocating woman suffrage. in which he points out how every experi- ment hitherto made in this direction has been successful; the Rev. Dr. Will ian Barry writes on the Rights of Pub lie Property, to show that monopoly is but the appropriation by individuals, of things that properly belong to society; and Richard Hodgson, secretary of the Society for Psychial Research, tells where trickery in spiritualIsm ends, and where really interesting phenomena begin.

"WaifS of New York"

A crowded hhoI Sc witnessed the pro- duction of ''The Waifs of New York" at Harris Theater yesterday afternoon and evening.
 The company is much better than was even anticipated. Since the play was last produced in this city it has again passed into the hands of its owner, Miss Kittie Emmett. She appears Tn the popular role of Willie Rufus, and made charming and pleasing impression on the audience. She has good looks and good humor in her favor, and her come dy business went with hurrah of laughter and applause. The great act with her trainers brought down the house. Geo. W. Thompson, as Hans, WAS another of the prime favorites. His German dialect Is funny enough 10 make dyspeptic laugh. Charles Patterson, a familiar face to the patrons of thIs house, was seen in the part of William Herbert Singleton, and he did it full justice. Miss Maude Peters as the wronged and persecuted heroine. Alice Baldwin was well received, and she made the imper- sonation very beautiful creation. The other people were entirely satisfactory.

AT THE GRAND.
Katie Emmett Last Night in the
 'EVaifs ofNerv York;

The house which was drawn last night to see Katie Emmett in the "Waifs ol New York" was no numerical exception to the rule which had governed the week The house was comfortably filled, anG without exception the audience Wa. immensely pleased. San Antonio people very evidently like to laugh, and the comical situations and the excellent dialect parts of the text afforded abund- ant exercise of risible propensities. Miss Emmett as Willie Rufus was the cen tral figure and her impersonation of the character of boot black was natural. without trace of that tendency to coarseness which so often mars feminine work in this line. George w. Thomp- son as Hans Schneiderkopf is an mimi table Dutchman, and his Teutonic effer- vescings were irresistible. Throughout it is a strong company, the play abounds in fine scenic effects, and on the whole should be drawing card. San Antonio, Tex Express.
