TO WARD OFF SuNsTRokE.
Natives of India Find an Ochre Garment
 Ward for the suns Rays.


 A hint comes from India which is worth using when the hot summer days are upon us. Lassitude and loss of appetite are among the first evi- dences of the effect of the suns heat upon the body, and in hot weather many persons who have never had sun stroke are debilitated by what might fairly be called sun fatigue, which, al- though not serious, renders work of every kind more laborious than it would otherwise be. The influence of the sun varies enormously on different individ- uals, some of whom have to take special precautions in order to be able to re- sist it. A spinal pad is used by sol diers in many tropical countries. It arrests the light, which often works much injury, but is uncomfortablly hot. and soon becomes objectionable from it's absorption of perspiration.
 According to royal engineer, who is stationed in India, the boon and bless ing beyond compare to those who have to spend part of their lives under a tropical sunlight is an orange colored shirt. He declares that he frequently fell sick after duty in the sun until he treated himself as photographic sen sitiye plate and surrounded his body with yellow light. All clothing, how ever thick, allows certain rays to pass, and although thick clothing would arrest all the injurious clements of sunlight, it would interfere with the escape of bodily heat. The yellow shirt, for sensitive people who are much in hot sunshise. is an excellent pro- lection, only inferior to that simplest and best of all Indian protectiyes, a white umbrella, which has not been acciimated in this country.-Pitts- burgh Dispatch.

CLOTHING PORTRAITS.
The Artistic Tailor Meets with Much
 Consid ton.

Consideration.
 Even as there are sermons in stones, so may it be asserted that there are great glittering art truths contained in tailors' geese.
 This fact is made clear by the as- sertion of tailors' trade journal that no portrait painter can reach perfec- ton in his chosen field until he has made himself thoroughly familiar with what this trade journal is pleased to call the anatomy of clothes.
 The tailors bitterly complain that the portrait painter does not make the buttons breathe the atmosphere of artistic realism, but indicates them hy oots, so that the observer cannot tell whether they are sewed on through holes or from behind, or whether they are composed of cloth or celluloid
 They also complain that the creases and folds are not indicated with sufii- cient sharpness and vim, and that a man in brand-new suit looks as if he had just come out of the sea. It is assumed that the portrait painter, carried away by the enthusiasm that was his when he was marine artist, makes the clothing sag like the sails upon Venetian boats. Of course, from the tailor's point of view, the matter of painting the face with fidelity amounts to nothing. The artist should study only the clothing and endeayor to re- produce the tone, texture and cut of the cloth. Therefore it is suggested that every art school have a clothing branch under the supervision of a reg ularly ordained tailor, whose duty it will be to elevate the art until every subject shall shine forth and corrus- cate with all the pristine glory of a fashion plate.--N. Y. World.
