For Sunstroke.

In view of the hot season the Phila-
delphia Police department has issued
the following directions for the course
of treatment to be pursued in case of
sunstroke. Everyone should be famil-
lar with these rules.
Remove the patient to a cool and
shady place, where there is plenty
of fresh, pure air. Strip the clothing
to the waist and place the sufferer in a
recumbent position. Pour cold water
(ice water) upon the head and chest
and wrists until consciousness returns.
Apply ice to the head and rub the
body with it, but if the skin is cool
no ice should be applied. When
practicable the patient should be put
into bath at 70 degrees to reduce the
temperature.
In heat exhaustion stimulants
should be given freely, and, if the tenn
perature is below normal, as shown by
the skin being cold and clammy, the
hot bath should be used. Ammonia
and water may be given if necessary.
The subject of sunstroke is liable to
a second attack, and should keep from
all excitement.

accidently departing from tie beaten
track in his answer to correspondents.
These two wrote to ask him his rene

the best way to get them safely over
teething, and No. 2 wanted to know
how to protect his orchard from the
myraids of grasshoppers. The editor
framed his answer upon the orthodox
lines, but unfortunately transposed
their two names, the result that No. l,
who was blessed with the twins, read
in reply to his query: "Cover them

GRANTS EAR FOR MUSIC.
On One Occasion He Thought <'The Girl
Left Behind Me- Was yankee Doodle"

On One Occasion He Thought ~The Girl ]
Left Behind Me- Was Yankee Doodle"
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was not
musician. While he laid no claim to
any talent IN that direction he took
certain degree of pride in being able to
distinguish two tunes from all that he
ever heard. He frequently remarked
that he never failed to recognize ''Old
Hundred and yankee Doodle"
In the spring of 1880 Gen. and Mrs.
Grant were in Galena, occupying the
house which Mrs. Grant Still owns.
April 81, the fifty-ninth birthday of
Grant, number OF his friends and
fellow-townsmen, in recognition of the
event, gathered at his home to treat
him to a serenade and wish him ''manv
happy returns" TIE Germania band
of Dubuque, at that time the popular
musical organization of the northwest,
had been engaged for the occasion, but.
failing to keep the engagement, the
local band was called upon to furnish
the music. The visitors and band as
sembled in the front yard and the latter
opened the services with it's usual
opening melody: 1.-The Girl l Left Be
hind Me-"
Just before the final notes were dying
out Gen. Grant appeared on the YER
anda, where he stood resignedly until
the musicians had blown out their Gus
tomary three airs. Then he stepped for
ward and heartily welcomed the entire
crowd, at the same time inviting the
people inside, where they were cordially
greeted by Mrs. Grant. An hour was
delightfully."- spent and the citizens took
their departure. One of the party,
however, remained behind long enough
to apologize for the not too excellent
quality of the music which the band
had furnished. The generals reply
was as follows:
"You might as well have serenaded
me with tin pans, as far as I am con-
cerned, as know less about music than
anything else 1 can think Of I know,
of course, that your band PLAYED
Yankee Doodle for it's opening piece,
but whether it played artistically or
not am not able to judge
. Further apologies were not deemed
necessary, nor did his friends enlighten
him that his uncultivated ear had mis-
taken "The Girl Left Behind Me" tor
one of the two airs which he never
failed to recognize. Chicago Tribune.

The idea of throwing house open
on hot, sultry day in order to keep
the occupants of the house cool, says a
prominent phyician, is an American
one and great mistake. In fact the
opposite course is the right thing to
do. Instead of opening up your win
dows to light and air you should keep
them closed down and shades drawn
and the room dark. The room that is
kept dark and closed will be cool on
the hottest day of the year. If you
open the windows, the hot air of the
streets rushes in and makes the room
an oven. If you want to keep cool
keep the windows closed and dark

ALPHONSO'S ANGORA CAT.

The little fve-year old king of Spain
has an Angora cat. You have seen an
Angora cat, have you not 1t is a beau
tiful ANIMAL big and white. with long
silky hair and big bushy tail Nikiti,
the new American singer, has an Angora
cat. So has Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett, who wrote Little Lord Faunt-
leroy The Princess May, who will
some day be queen Of England, also has
lovely Angora cat, which was sent to
her some time ago by the school children
Of Surrey, to show her how much they
thought of her. The Angora cat is in
deed beautiful
So, when little Alphonso of Spain said,
one day, that he would like something
to play with, his mother Immediately
thought that an Angora cat would be
just the thing. But kings, you know,
even though they be baby kings, are
treated quite differently from other chill
dren. Before Alphonso's mother dared
give him live pet, she had to show him
pictures of the animal A big Angora
cat painted life-sizc upon big -anvas
and beautifully framed was brought into
Alphonso's nursery.
"Will your Elghness look at the pic
ture and tell me if he would like to own
a beautiful animal like that?n said his
governess, placing the picture before
him.
Alphonso looked at the picture and
smiled with boyish approval, while he
said in Spanish:
eyes, | would like to hove such an
animal. Its fur is as soft as the robe
which is thrown around me when I 90
driving. And it is as white as the snow
which my tutor tells me falls in Russia.
Its eyes are like black pearls, and its tail
curs like that of the silver fox which |
saw in our geological gardens.'
So the Angora cat was brought to the
little king, and a great white rug was
spread upon couch for it to lie upon.
The king named his new pet "Blanc,"
which is the word for white in five diff
ferent languages. New York Ledger.

WILLOW AS A CROP.
Cutting Time Comes Once In -Four
Years, But 1t Pays.

In beau iful sweep of lowland nortl
of Melvale station, on the Northern Cen
trail Railroad, and about nine miles from
the city, there is peculiar farm. 1t i,
| peculiar in that it renders to its ownel
and tiller but one crop in four years, and
that crop of willow shoots.
The farmer, Antoine Spath, came from
Frankfort, Germany, many years ago,
and after erecting himself comfortable
stone house, which still stands in the
midst ola picturesque cinmp of willows,
at the end OF the little valley, set about
planting his first crop Of willow shoots.
Every year he has gone on planting row
after row until the valley has become
covered with them. SpAth had learned
the art of weaving willow ware in his
boyhood days by the shores Of the River
Main, and us fast as his little plantation
grew he gathered the shoots. stripped
them OF their green outer covering, and
after drying them, wovc baskets of every
conceivable form o: size.
1T seems rather peculiar work in this
country" said the willow farmer, in
speaking of his business, "but in all
parts of Europe, especially in the Ger
man provitces, il is very common
thing to find willow plantations and
willow Weavcrs, for there willow is used
III many forms and for Il greater number
of purl o;cs than | find it used in this
country. In Germany and France
willow is employed in making at least
twenty different sorts of bird cages,
while in America metal is uSed-brass or
iron wire-and different woods. Among
the best families in European countries
cradles, woven by German workers, NAV
be found constructed emit, " of willow
Then there are hundred and orc shapes
of marketing baskets, baskets used bv

and cut them when they have attained
four years Of growth. The cutting time
is ear y in the spring, before the sap is
done running, aHd after tAing them in
bundles they are placed in ponds of
water to keep them in a green state until
ready for strippi' :. Stripping the viii,

switches through AMI between two heavy

light green bark from the white heart,
and then, after drying or curing them
upon long racks, we have got the willow

ut was many years after planted
his farm with willows before any one
thought of initiating my example, but
low there are several other plantations

1apolls roads, and though you may find
quite as busy scenes there, you will
scarcely find more picturesque place

DON'T BE TOO SURE.

Young people often need to be taught
this lesson by experience A paper tells
of game that, while very amusing,
would lead to a little care in making too
quick conclusions. 1t was at a party.
The hostess provided pencils and very
long strips of paper. At the top of the
strip some one drew little sketch; this
was passed on to the next person, who
wrote at little distance Underneath il
as clear a description is possible, then
folded the paper over 50 as to conceal
the drawing and passed it on again.
The one who received it read the de-
scription, then attempted to draw, as
nearly as might be- the article described,
folded the first description and passed
the paper on as before.
The paper went the rounds of the
dozen or fifteen guests, and the COMPARE
son between the first and the last pic
lures and the descriptions thereof were
amusing in the extre1e.
Such exercises may be made to teach
very useful lessons. They show. for one
thing, that 20 two people agree in their
estimate of facts. A few evenings of
this sort in community might have i'm
portant results If any of those who in
dulge in the practice were ever called up
on the witness stand. 1t would teach
them what many people could never
learn any other way, that there is nothing
go uncertain in this world as being per-
fcctly sure of thing Farm, Field and
