SUNstrOlSc.

There are two forms of sunstroke or
heatstroke. In one, the patients face
is flushed; in the other form, extreme
pallor is a characteristic symptom.
When the face is flushed, cold water
should be applied to the whole surface
of the body. AS it is important to act
quickly, one need not wait for conven-
lent arrangements for bathing, but may
proceed at once to pour cold water over
the patient with a pail Special atten-
ton should be given to the head. A
continuous stream of water may be
poured upon the head from a dipper,
until the redness of the skin and throb-
bling of the cerebral vessels disappear.
In case the patients skin is pale, TO-
mentations should be applied to the
head 1t is WELL too, in bad cases, to
administer a large enema, and if the
patient is not unconscious, cause him to
drink freely of water or weak lemonade,
SO as to wash out from the blood the
special poisons which have recently been
shown to be produced in cases of this
sort under the influence of excessive
heat.

Two Pots.

Mrs. Helen Campbell, who has thor
oughly studied the conditions of life
among working women in this country
arraigns in a late number of the Con-
gregationalist, the teapot as their worst
enemy.
Girls and women she asserts, forced
to live on meager wages, think that
meat or nourishing food is impossible
for them, and buy a tin teapot which
sits on the stove all day, brewing a
drink which warns and comforts and
poisons them.
A loaf of white bread or a slice of pie
completes their bill of fare.
The brown, acrid liquid, Mrs. Camp
bell declares, which is full of tannin
drawn from the tea leaves by long
sleeping or boiling, burns out their
stomachs, destroys their nerves, and
leaves them with anaemic bodies, irri-
table tempers and ruined health.
The girl or woman will say: II do
not drink because like it, but because
the draught warns and comforts me. l
buy in it food and fire at once
Mrs Campbell's remedy is very prac-
tical, and one which any woman can try.
1t is another pot which always stands
at the back of the stove, and in it few
cents worth of meat, an onion, some
herbs, potatoes, lentils and water. Out

After the Franco-German war the
enormous tax levied by Bismarck on
the French nation was almost wholly
paid by the poor peasants who hurried
to take up the bond. Their accumu-
lated small savings amounted to many

of the French envoy, "has your poor
class saved so much?"
"By the pot-au-feu,' was the reply.

Keeping FOOdstufYs Apart.

The average person thinks that when
she has separated milk and butter from
cheese and fish, she has done her whole
duty, but in point of fact she has only
begun the necessary keeping apart of
foodstuffs. Almost all kinds absorb
ftavors to greater or less degree. Tea
cocoa, chocolate, -four, eggs and cereals
are almost as susceptible to the influ-
ence of neighboring foods as are milk
and butter. Bananas, for example, will
spoil an open jar of tea or cocoa, or a
tin of flour. Onions sailed fish, smoked
beef and scores of other foods are SINH
larly persuasive in their flavor. This
absorption of odors and aroma is so
