HOW TO AVOID sUNsTRoKE.

From the New York Herald. Now that the mercury is rising steadily toward the top of the thermometer too much care cannot be exercised In the avoidance of sunstroke.
 The first thing for the feeble and the anaemic to remember is that they need a tonic. Just what that tonic is may best be told by the family doctor. Due regulation-also under medical ad- | vice-of the excretory organs is another
 most important consideration Select your diet with regard to the ab- sence of heating properties. Take daily sponge baths. Avoid excess sive exertion.
 Sleep eight hours daily Use an um-
 brella when walking in the sun. Have your outer garments of material as light as possible and your underwear
 of gauge or linen mesh. which will facili- tate precipitation.
 Avoid stimulants.
 The Red Cross book" gives these symp- | toms of sunstroke: Headache. dizziness, faintness, "sceing double," nausea, weak ness of the knees, labored, noisy breath
 ing, groaning sometimes delirium and convulsions, pulse full, strong and rapid. face red and skin intensely hot to the touch, the latter always marked symp- tom.
 Treatment: Take the patient to a cool
 place, strip. sprinkle with iced water Common garden sprinkler is the best
 thing to use). Also rub body with Ice simultaneously. If pulse grows weak give stimulants. Avoid the use of whisky. When temperature falls to 1O1 degrees dis continue sprinkling. Put patient to bed. Cover lightly; use ice bag for head. If temperature rises again it may be neces- sary to repeat the treatment. During convalescence keep the patient in a cool room and give a light or stimulating and easily digested diet. Dr. Cyrus Edson approves of these treatments, and adds that if the heart &C.,
 tion Is bad and faintness comes on aro- matic spirits of ammonia-a half tea spoonful in wineglass of water-should be given Three or four doses within two
 hours should be the extreme amount given. Antipyretics given to reduce fever
 are useless In sunstroke, and harmful in
 most cases.
 ITO relieve the victims of sunstroke as
 quickly as possible is the imperative ne-
 cessity'' says Dr. George F. Shrady
 They should be removed to the shade.
 the garments should be loosened and cold
 water dashed on head and neck. Lumps
 of ice wrapped in cloths are sometimes
 useful as local applications, and often
 mild stimulation to maintain proper heat
 power Is indicated. Further than this it
 is not safe to go without medical advice
 as to particular requirements Even be-
 fore all this is done a ring for an ambu-
 lance may bring further assistance in
 time to be available"

NEW ADJECTIVE NEEDED
 WHO GAN SUGGEST IT :?
BY ALBERT j. ADAMS.

and which now forms a large part of the mightiest nation on earth? Their title had nothing better to rest upon than a figment of British constitutional law. In fact, it was an usurpation on the part of the crown with nothing constitutional about 1t. Thomas Jefferson exploded the whole pretension in one of the earliest and greatest of American state papers. written before the Declaration of Inde- pendence and entitled "A Summary View of the Rights of British America" To characterize, then, Peter Coopers gift of the magnificent institution with which he enriched New York as ''royar' or imperial is, in a sense, to belittle 1t, If that were possible. And so of all the other great endowments made by the Peabodys, Astors, Tidens. vanderbilts, Corcorans, Hopkinses, Cornells, Carne- gies Morgans, Stanfords, Rockefeilers and hundreds of others in nearly every State in the Union.
 In the aggregate these donations sur pass those made by all the kings that ever lived with the added distinction that the millions thus bestowed were the fruits of honorable industry. combined in nearly  every instance with a mental equipment that lifted their former possessors to the very highest standard of intellectuality If we cannot find the adjective to ade- quately characterize these great benefac- tions to humanity, we should at least as the London papers point out. drop the trite and threadbare ones which are from every point of view inadequate and his- torically absurd. Here Is field for the neologists of the present and the future. The language contains many words the root of which is purely personal. Why should not the list be extended, especially when the necessity for 1t exists or is thought to exist? To follow out the line of thought of our foreign contemporary would not "Carnegian gift" or Coop eran gift convey a conception infinitely higher and nobler than does that of "a royaT' one? "Cornellian'' would not be an adjective without a distinct meaning. At all events, if we cannot get some thing suitable, let us drop that which a foreign monarchical critic has the can dor to say Is unsuitable when we come to speak or write about the magnificent deeds of American benefactors.

THE NAVY'S LOOT.
From the Chicago News.

Sampson gets more prize money than Dewey. Just why the navy should be awarded loot, which the army is obliged to get on the quiet or go without, is something no one outside of an officer of the navy understands. The whole thing is a relic of the days of piracy and pri- watering. Piracy is dead, so we are told by those who claim to have attended its funeral; then why not abolish prize money? There Is no more reason why the marines should be given loot than there is that the soldiers should be awarded town lots in Pekin for capturing the city

Henley.

''Not in the wide world is there a of a red brick, red-tiled town, green fields, ancient beeches, glorious valley. and calm, sweet river, than is presented at Henley, in the Thames Valley, some forty miles above London, the scene the past week of the worldfamous re- gatta, in which the Pennsylvania oarsmen won the principal prize, said Birming- ham man who has in the near past spent many glad days in that dream-town of the most dreamful valley in the world.
 Henley lies in the low valley that is for ever green, and gently sloping down to the grassy brim of the river that Is for ever pelucid. The town is many cen houses with red tile roofs are standing now as they have stood for centuries, the black-greeE ivy striving with rose vines to hide the warm walls and roofs. The streets are narrow and winding, and are kept scrupulously clean. It is one of the tidiest towns in the world, and even the stable yards there would make the own Sl Ol tit average blTHllHSndIn DdCkydTQ ashamed of himself. The taprooms and kitchens of the quaint inns are as neatly kept as are private parlors in this coun- try.
 And with all this extraordinary un- American cleanliness, with the narrow white pavements free from the foul evil dences of tobacco-eating-ther being no tobacco-eaters in all England-there Is necessarily an air of thrift, and one feels that want never invaded Henley by the Thames. The inhabitants number only five thousand or so, and these live by agriculture and small smokeless hand manufacturing, together with the harvest of the river that comes from the multitude of summer pleasure-seekers.
 "Every Sunday, from early June to late September, the Thames from Richmond, London. to Oxford, Is every rod of it gay with holiday makers, probably fifty thou sand of whom tarry at Henley, tying up their rowboats and launches in order to to lunch or to visit the Red Lion or the White Hart. exquisite inns, and there sample the particular brew on tap for the thirsty. Everywhere these inns abound public houses of marvellous clean Illness, with everything in the way of drink and every drink cheap.
 "Yet never saw a man on the Thames on Sunday intoxicated. There the people are permitted to enjoy a rational Sunday, free from the blight of bigotry and intol- lerance such as would make a graveyard out of many a town of ours.
 '"There are no waste-places. no sand beds, no bare banks or bluffs along the Thames or in its wonderfully sweet val ley. The river banks are low, and green grass grows down into the perfectly clear water, and there Is green grass every where. Sometimes in winter the river gets in food but no harm results, the thick turf preventing washing. On the front of a brick house facing the river just below the noble bridge that at Hen ley arches between the Oxfordshire and the Berkshire shores there is a stone slab with the inscription, '1igh-water mark, A. D. 1S07' That mark has never been reached since that early year of the last century,

In referring to the Carnegie gifts to
 libraries, universities and other institu- tions. an English journal critically re-
 marks that neither "royal'' nor "imperial'
 is the adjective to characterize them, for
 the very excellent reason that no king or | emperor ever made, or had 1t in his power to make, so colossal a donation. This | proposition is indsputably sound. True, history is filled with instances of what Is
 called "princely generosity" but when we l delve down to the roots of this royal muni- f1cence the basic fact is struck that their
 lauded liberality was at the expense of other people. In the corrupt days of the
 French monarchy splendid gifts were bestowed upon court favorites, male and female Louis XIV lavished on Mime. Du Barry over thirty million dollars To the
 Marquise de Pompadour another mistress, who at one time virtually ruled France,
 he gave untold sums. Every sou thus be- slowed was wrung from the oppressed peasants of France, who at last, mad dened with famine and infiamed with the thirst for vengeance, kindled the the mighty flames of that revolution which consumed the whole corrupt and oppress-
 i've system.
 The truth is that royal munificence is in
 reality royal robbery of the many for the
 benefit of the few. Take the cast of the First Napoleon. In modern times no one
 has given more than he did. To his
 brothers, sisters and marshals he tossed,
 as baubles, thrones and crowns that justly
 belonged, if not to those he had con- quered, to the people who supported them.
 To go further back, the race of the Stu
 arts were ''princely' givers. Charles I.
 gave Maryland to Lord Baltimore;
 Charles IL gave New York to the Duke of
 York, and, in addition. New Jersey, which the Duke, In turn bestowed upon Lord
 Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. The
 vast territory now known as North and South Carolina Georgia and Florida was the gift of the Second Charles to the Earl of Clarendon, to the Duke of Albemare to Earl Craven and several other titled favorites. But what right had these kings to the wilderness of 300 years ago,

In 1894 t was estimated that sash g

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, October 23.--Light offer
ings in an oversold corn market
brought strength to grains to-day. De-
cember corn closed 1Ac higher; De-
cember wheat 1ac advanced and De-
cember oats $sc up. Provisions closed
21aa5 to 7izc higher.
Corn ruled strong from the outset,
though the pit was not specially active.
AL the opening cables were Indifferent
and prices for December were shade
lower to a shade higher at 551sc to
55Ac asked Al once 1t was apparent,
however that the liquidation that
characterized this pit yesterday had
ceased. The shorts began to feel un-
easy and though the early trade WAS
fiat and dull, when there came news
Of a few sales to the southwest, prices
began to advance rapidly December
sold to 56taa569sc. and closed strong
1Ac above yesterdays close at 56$sa
56i2c. Receipts were l57 cars.
Wheat experienced dull, narrow
market. but had firm undertone
throughout the session. All news was
bullish. save the Indifferent cables OF
the European markets. Argentine
drought damage still was of prime in
terest. though in the markets where
this crop is the greatest factor there
was no appreciable advance. North
western receipts still were small, yet
the small movement was explained
away by the statement that farmers
we're too busy to sell Despite these
influences and small primary receipts,
December opened unchanged to shade
higher at l02a705sc to 709sc. There
was an early report of continued
drought in Argentine which brought a
small advance, but the firm tone of the
pit was more largely due to an absence
of trade and some covering in the face
OF light offerings. December sold to
711sc and closed firm, iae advanced at
7la71 &c. Local receipts were 81 cars,
meme of contract grade. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 541 cars, making
a total for the three points of 63S cars,
