MANY MILLIONS IN BEER.
Brewers Are a Prosperous Class and
Count Wealth in Seven Figures.

From some figures recently compiled
the interesting fact is given that there is
invested in the beer industry in this
country the sum total of Sl65, 1888 903 OF
this amount Sl43, 1876, 9ll is invested in
breweries and the remainder go, $50, 992,
in malt houses.
When To these figures is added the other
property of the breweries in real estate
stocks and chattel mortgages, received by
thousands from their inpecunious Gus
toners, the sum OF $500 GOO, geo is consid-
cred safe estimate of their united cap
ital.
OF necessity, nearly all of this wealth
is in the great cities, where the large
breweries are situated, and is distributed
us follows: New York $50, 600, 600; Phil
adelphia, $4,000, 600; Chicago, $4,000
600: st. Louis, $4,000, 900; Milwaukee,
$4,000, 0O0; Brooklyn and Cincinnati,
$4,000, 600 each; Rochester, $1,000, 600:
Buffalo and Boston, So, coo, 600; San Fran
cisco, 81, 900, 900; Albany and Cleveland,
81, 600, 900 each.
&Capt. Fred Pabst, of Milwaukee, stands
at the head of the millionaire list of
brewers. He controls about one-half of
the brewing industry of that big beer
town, and is worth SO, 100000 Others
who have made their millions in the

New Substitute For the Human Limb
Almost as Good as the Original.
Persons who have their legs cut off in
railroad accidents III the future will ut
least have the satisfaction of understand
ing that few beyond their immediate
friends will ever know it, for an inventor
has just produced an artificial leg
which is just as near human member as
can he devised.
This browning achievement in the leg
line is the production OF Massachusetts,
man, and with this invention properly
attached to the stump of the missing
member those who leave their leg at
dead Mans Curve can have the def
cheney supplied so that no one can detect
the fraud without sticking pin in it,
This artificial leg is continuance of
hinges, screws and elastic bands Elk
tending downward from about what in
the human leg is the ankle, to Joint
midway between the heel and the instep
are two steel rods, placed one in front
of the other. One rests on sort of roll
Ter hinge and allows the foot to give or
bend with each step. The other serves
the purpose of bringing the foot lack
into place after the step is taken.
Any lateral movement of these rods is
prevented by the sides of the slot through
which they move, y screw and q nut at
the top of the rod also prevents the leg
from turning, and thus gives trouble in
walking. An artificial heel tendon is
also placed within the foot back of the
ankle joint, and extends loosely through
hole in the leg, where it connects with
nut at about midway up the leg.-New

THE EPIDEMIC OF sUNsTRoKEs


The epidemic of heat prostrations and
sunstrokes accompanying the present
great heat wave is the most fatal vista
ton of the kind ever recorded in the
United States.
y week ago the ''hot wave'' was we'll
developed over the country west of the
Alleghenics and began to overspread the
Atlantic seaboard. In this long period it
has covered the vast area from the At
lantic coast almost to the Eastern slopes
of the Rocky Mountains without any
material break, but from day to day
gaining n little in fervor, except occa.
slonally for few hours in the lake re-
gions.
The medical treatment of sunstroke
and prostration is naturally based upon
the fact that the temperature of the body
during hot spells rises dangerously high
when evaporation from the skin is re-
tarded or whenever the power of the body
to resist external influences is lessened
Exposure to the suns rays is not neces-
sary to produce n fatal case of tn ernie
fever, and in many such cases, especially
in the tropics, the patient has been
stricken down in the night. In the mem
orable epidemic of sunstrokes in 1881, at
Cincinnati,it was shown that the fatality
was greater with II low relative humidity
OF UHe alr-Wnlcn Is consistent with a
very high degree of actual humidity. 1t
is well established that very high tenn
perature may prevail with dry air with
out causing as many prostratons that
occur with less excessive temperature
when the air is replete with watery vapor
in the invisible state. An eminent army
surgeon states that III four years ser
vice with his command in Arizona.
(where the shade temperature sometimes
rises to maximum of 11S degrees Fair.
but the atmosphere is remarkably dry)
he never saw sunstroke eXcept on one
occasion.
To avoid dang all persons should alb
stain from alcoholic drinks, excitement
and fatigue, while combining the diet
mainly to farinaceous foods, fresh fruit,
arather free but not immoderate use of
cool water, and gentle salines if needed
In mild cases of prostration cold baths
may suffice But in severe cases the
patient must be at once carried into the
shade, his clothing removed and douches
of cold water be freely applied to the
chest and body. DR.. Pepper, of Phila-
delphia, has made the exceedingly impor-
tant suggestion that hospital ambu-
lances should be supplied with ice and
antipyrn, and as soon as the patient is
placed in the ambulance these remedies
should be applied-as many lives are
probably sacrificed "by the loss of the
critical moment in the interval between
the finding of the patient and his reach
ing the hospital" Rubbing with ice may
be tried with good effect But in many
cases, as soon as possible. the sunstrokc
patient should be placed in the cold bath
Mt II temperature of so degrees, and no
time lost or pains spared to reduce the
body temperature. New York Herald,

Portraits of People Adorning Rare Gems

Diamonds can now be engraved in n
very artistic manner.
The development of the diamondcut.
ting brings into existence new class of
jewelry, for which considerable demand
is expected. 1t was long believed that
the diamond could not be engraved with
safety or satisfactory results; but few
stones roughly engraved were found in
India, and diamond was exhibited at
the Paris exhibition of 1878, on which a
portrait of the King of Holland was
scratched
But the work was rather imperfect.
and the stones were rather demolished
than engraved.
Some of the finest examples of engrav-
ings on diamonds are the work of n Paris
Jeweler One is scarfpin representing
yataghan, of which the blade is sIen-
der diamond and the handle is a ruby.
Another is a large circular stone. on
which pansy with it's foliage is en-.
graved
An elaborate piece of work is bicycle.
of which the wheels are two circular
diamonds. The spokes are represented
by lines engraved on the diamonds A
small hole is pierced at each angle.
Another diamond is carved like n fish.
y handsome brooch is scarabaeus, sur
rounded by sapphires and brilliants.
Other examples are brooches represent
ing flies, of which the wings are thin,
engraved diamonds; two diamonds en-.
graved with armoral bearings. the i'm

instance on shirt and cuff buttons.
