Among probable causes of sunstroke
are the presence Of stagnant atmosphere,
excess in diet, as tending to retard tissue
changes, pulmonary oppression by cloth
ing with consequent malasration, great
physical exhaustion with cardiac fatigue
and the consumption, even in moderate
amount, of alcoholic liquors during hot
weather. The habitual wearing of some
what loose porous clothing, by encourag-
Ing perspiration and assisting the re-
moval of its products, will also contrib
ute materially toward the reduction of
the general temperature.
1t is needful to keep in view the ex-
treme s~ensitiveness of the cerebro spinal
nerve centers, especially those Of the
medulla. The means by which protec-
ton can best be accomplished call for a
brief notice. Among these may be men
toned the adoption of the familiar white
veil behind and over the head, the in
~terposition of a wet white linen cloth
between head and hat and the effectual
ventilation of the latter.-London Lam

looking over his accounts. A clerk, Ed
ward Sullivan, was also MORALLY wounded
But little effort seemed to be made to brins
the gang to justice, and the affair finally
lost prominence and became a memory
only.
Interest was revived the other day, how
ever, when William Repke gave himself
up to the prosecuting attorney and made a
full confession. He implicated sixteen
others, three of whom are now dead. Those
still alive are under arrest. Continued
hard luck led Repke to reveal the awful
tale His children have sickened and died,
his horses and cattle have fallen dead, his
buildings AVE burned, and every turn of
his hand has only been met by misfortune
n disaster. For ten years he has been
unable to get a nights sleep because of his
troubled conscience. Repke does not know
who fired the fatal shots. The gang had
been organized several months before the
murder was committed, and the crime had
been fully discussed and the plans we'll
laid.
The direct cause of the murder, says Ed
var Molitor, brother OF the dead man,
was this: Rogers township originally oc-
cupied about one-half OF Presque Isle
county. My brother was Instrumental in
bonding the township to secure sufficient
money to build roads to the farms of these
same conspirators, as well as other farmers
In the surrounding country. Subsequent
ly the county was redistricted, Rogers
township being divided up so that the por-
ton then bearing the name of Rogers
township was small, even in comparison to
the other new townships. Thus this little
section was loaded with the bonds on
which money was raised to build roads
over half of Presque Isle county. My
brother went to the Legislature and secured
a proper apportionment of this debt. 1t
was this that caused the feeling against
him on the part of the farmers outside the
township whose taxes were thus increased.
He was killed on the night OF a day when
a meeting Of the supervisors broke up in a
row over this matter"

The grand total realized for the nine
days sale of the Cavendish- Bentinck
collection Of art furniture was &c.,
$40 9s. The high prices of this sale were
extraordinary. The prime cost has been
exceeded by nearly cent per cent, and
in many instances even larger profits
have been obtained. Generally speak
ing the prices realized show a return of
8 per cent. compound interest on the
original outlay.-London Times.

Another process for freproofing COM
bustible materials is reported from Rus
sia, the medium being described as a
paste, which is said to have been tested
with most satisfactory results by the
Moscow Imperial society. A shanty
was built entirely of straw. and after
being covered with the paste, was sub
jected to q hot fire, the only effect being
to change the straw from a yellow to a
reddish brown color without isniting or
even cracking.
The society referred to has conse-
quently made arrangements, it is said,
to introduce the use of this new inven-
ton throughout the empire, considering
1t from every point of view as OF the
highest value in villages or localities
where the houses are, as a rule, matched
with straw, and where fires, once started,
frequently make a clean sweep Of the
place. The cost Of the preparation is
very sman.-New York Telegram
