In On Frenchman Know How to In.
gage the Animals In Conversation.

In 1857 Jules Richard had occasion
70 visit a sick friVnd In n hospital, where
he made the acquaintance OF an old Of
hcial OF the institution from tho south
OF France, who was exceeding fond Of
animals, his love Of them being equal
ed only by his hatred of priests, writes
Prof. i. Z. Evans in the Popular
Science Monthly; he claimed also to be
perfectly familiar with the languages
Df cats and dogs, and to speak the Ian
guage Of apes even better than the
apes themselves. Jules Richard re-
ceived this statement with an incredu-
lous smile, ~whcreupon the old man,
whose pride was evidently touched by
such skepticism, invited him to come
the next morning TO the geological
garden.
Il met him at tue appointed time
and place." says Mr.. Richard, "and
we went together Il the monkeys

railing and began TO utter a succession
OF cultural sounds, which alphabetical
signs arc scarcely adequate TO repre-

minutes the whole company Of mon

and sat in rows before him with their
hands crossed in their laps or resting
on their knees, laughing, ge~sticulating
and answering"
The conversation continued for n full
quarter of IN hour, TO the intense de-
light Of the monkeys, who took u live
ly part in it. AS their i~nterlocutor was
about to go away they all became in
tensely excited. climbing up the bal

Treatment of Sunstrokes.

what are your methods OF caring
for cases Of sunstroke?' was asked by
a st. Louis globe Democrat man OF the
surgeon in charge of the dispensary.
we at once strip the patent OF all
oaptning," said he. place him on a
wire mattress, and freely sprinkle the
body with ice water. after which, in
several cases, we place ice bags on the
head aud over the region Of the heart.
In such cases the temperature ruDs
from lOl to 10 and the pulse from 10
10 l30 or over I'D, and the chief point
is to reduce these. We give bromide
OF sodium until the quantity Of blood
in the head is lessened and reduced TO
a normal condition. The patient must
be kept quiet, for there is a tendency
To delirium.
The first symptoms Of sunstroke
are dizziness. then things look green
after which the blood vessels Of the
brain dilate and unconsciousness soon
results. The dangers Of treatment
come from collapse. which sometimes
results from a sudden application OF ice
to the vital parts. Then brandy and
atropine must be given until there is a
revival. The chief ~preventives are TO
be found in the selection Of airy bed

A state Soda Fountain.

IL may sound like a Munchausen
yarn, but it is an actual fact that in the
squint-eyed little burg of Sodayille, in
Linn county, in block s of the town
plat, there is a soda spring. and that
the last legislature in its infinite
wisdom provided that "inasmnch as
there is a great and growing demand
on the part of the public for the waters
of said spring" the state would spend
500 to improve il. This, at last, the
fond realization of the long-fclt want
which has been loahng around the
county like the ghost of boyhood's hap
py days in quest OF u watermelon

A Biblical Phrase.

In many Of the grandest Of scriptural
phrases there is not. q little sugges.
ton of the simplicity of childhood, and
on the other hand it not infrequently
happens that some childish speech re-
minds one of the utterances of the
prophets OF old.
An instance of this was given not
long ago by a lad Of 5 or 6 summers.
He had probably never heard the
biblical sentence wherein it is said of
Jehovah hat "lle bowed the heavens
and came down; but it was in much
the spirit that he asked his father:
"Papa, why doesn't the sky bend
down when God stands up"
The chief difference was that be-
tween conscious and unconscious

Alex ,ndsr Hamilton.

Hamilton, by general consent, ranks
first in ability OF American statesmen,
at least among those OF the old school.
1t is to him that hostile critics of Amer
lean craftsmanship have special refer
ence when they say that the transform
alton of Rome by Augustus has been
reversed. and that what was at first an
edifice of marble had been turned into
an edifica of brick. lie was not a ma
tive patriot, but had been transplanted
to the colony of New York from n
crown colony in the West Indies, the
sentiments Of which were essentially
monarchial and aristocratic. =
Though New York was his state, not
being a native Of it he could rise above
its narrow interests and be a citizen of
the union. His belief in the wisdom Of
the people was limited and he detested
mob rule. Though not a learned law
yer. he was a great constitutional jur-
list. He died before mis- hous, murdered
under the form of a duel. But it is not
likely that had he lived longer he
would ever have been the head OF the
state. Great as was his ascendency
over the men Of his own party, he was
never popular. His memory never be-
came dear to the multitude, and it was
left to his own family at q late day to
erect his statue"

ANOTHER SUNDAY MEETING

To be Addressed by Rev. Or. A, II. BISer
at the Opera House Tomorrow.
So much interest has been manifested
in the meetings held by DR.. Riker at
the Opera House that tho audience at
the first meeting was asked il second
meeting was desired, and almost every
man in tho audience responded in the
affirmative by rising to his feet. The
second meeting was held last Sunday
and was no less interesting than the
first A hundred or moro young men
occupied seats on the stage and led the
singing, and fully thousand men were
crowded into the Opera House. 1t Is o
difficult matter to hold tho close atten-
tention OF a miscellaneous gathering Of
men at n religious service in the Opera
House, but tho audience gave tho strict
est attention to the clear, attractive and
manly talk OF DR.. Riker. Perhaps no
more valuable and thoroughly helpful
sermons have ever been preached 10 an
audience OF men in tho city. BY ro-
quest Of largo number OF mon another
meeting has been arranged for to-
morrow afternoon At $3.50 o'clock. The
meeting will BIO under the Bamo auspices
us before, and DR., Rikor will preach.

OHIO RIVER WRECK.
A Passenger Coach Demolished Near

A Passenger Coach Demolished Near
GlenwOod Yesterday.
There was wreck down on the Ohio
River railroad near Glenwood about
1880 o'clock yesterday morning that
nearly proved disastrous to both the
train and passengers. Train No. .,
north bound, leaves Huntington ut 8
o'clock in the morning, and everything
went all right until the train rounded
in above Glenwood. q ANAL village,
where there is u side track. On this
track an empty box car was standing,
which had been run onto it the day be-
fore and lett without the brakes on.
The high wind during the night had
blown tho car bodily some distance
toward the main track. When the en-
gineer OF the passenger train caught
sight OF the car he Immediately saw it
was too near the main track for his
train to pass in safety, 30 no reversed
the throttle as quickly rs possible and
put on the air brakes, but as he was
running over twenty-five miles an hour
twas an actual impossibillty to stop in
time. The engine passed in safety, but
the mailcar in charge Of Postal Clerk
Charley Hawkins struck the box car,
aud swung the latter half way round, so
that the rear or ladies' car struck it
with great force and caused it to run
for some distance on ono side, Fortu-
nately, however, tho coach did not turn
over, in which case several fatalities
would have been inevitable, There
were no ladies in this car. but several
men were thrown across the car. The
train was soon stopped, when it was
seen that the ladies' car was almost
demolished on the side which struck
the box car
After some delay the train proceeded,
and at Parkersburg the coach was left
for repairs.
The escape was narrow one. Had
the box car been loaded 1t would surely
have thrown and overturned two pas
senger coaches.
