WHAT TO DO IN HEAT CASES.
New York Health Board Sends Out In
structions in Different Languages.

StructtonS In Different Languages.
From the New York Times.
The health board, to mitigate the suf-
ferings of the tenement jewellers during
the hot spell. is issuing circulars, printed
in several languages, describing the
symptoms which are premonitory to heat
strokes, or isolation, as the attack is tech
nically called, well as instructions for
treatment The classical symptoms are:
Pain in the head, q feeling of fullness in
the abdominal region nausea, feeling
of weakness. especially In the legs, YER
tigo and dimness of vision. Surrounding
objects may appear of a uniform color.
In the majority of instances the color Is
purple blue, but in some cases every
thing appears to be red. green Or white.
If these symptoms. or any of them. ap-
pear in exceedingly hot Gather, the per-
son attacked should at once seek shelter
and remain quiet until the seizure shall
have passed. In more severe attacks with
sudden onset physician should be sum
moned without delay. If none is at hand
the patient should be placed on a couch
or bed and the clothing removed or loos-
ened Ice should next be applied to the
body, and especially to the abdomen,
body should be rubbed briskly to bring
the hot blood to the cool surface.
A physician. in discussing cases of heat
prostration, said:
"Sunstroke heat stroke or isolation, as
these attacks are variously called. are not
necessarily caused by exposure to the d.
rect rays of the sun. A draught from a
furnace may be responsible for the seiz-
ure or 1t may come from the radiation
of heat stored up in the earth or In build
ings of stone and brick or from pave
ments and asphalt sidewalks.
There are two classes of heat prostra-
lions: First, the cases resulting from ex-
cessive exposure to heat in which the
balance of the thermal mechanism is up
set so that fever comes on. and which are

called cases of thermal fever, and. sec
Gnd, cases in which the body Temperature
Is lowered and which are technically re-
ferred to as cases OF heat exhaustion The
first class of cases frequently occur, but
the second are rare.
The treatment of the two conditions is
very dissimilar. In the thermic heat
cases cold is applied, and sometimes the
best results are obtained by bleeding In
heat exhaustion, however hot apnlica-
uons must be used to bring the temporal
ture back to normal Hot baths must he
employed and hot bricks and bottles ap-
piled to the body. The fact that the skin
appears cool Is no indication that there is

seizure. Those who have suffered at
tacks of heat exhaustion are slow to con-
Nalesce."

But the Washington Cinnamon are not
az bad as their brethren were painted by
the poet who wrote the above lines. Chris
tian missionaries have been at work
among them and great results for good
have been accomplished The average
celestial is said to be easily susceptible to
moral suaSion and a large number in this
city has given up their Confucian faith
and embraced the Christian religion. Sun
day school classes have been formed Of
Cinnamon in several of the churches here,
including the Metropolitan Methodist, the
First Congregational and the Calvary Bap-
list. Those who attend these classes are
said by their teachers to be making splen-

They Join in the singing of pretty gospel
songs and listen with rapt attention to the
Bible stories that are related to them in
simple language.
There are bad Cinnamon, however, just
as there are bad Americans, and some Of
these are to be found among the habitues
of WashlngtOn's Chinatown. The worst Of
lenses committed by these bad men are
gambling and smoking opium, two of the
most confirmed vices in their native land
and which they have transplanted to the
United States.
In company with a policeman The Star
reporter entered the establishment OF a
firm OF Chinese importers. One of the pro-
prictors was busy unpacking large NUM-
her of sailed and sun-dried Chinese FISH.
They were mountaineering specimens
about the size of a smoked Potomac shad
with fIuy wings extending from their sides
and about six long tails, each about the
thickness of a lead pencil. The atmosphere
of the shop was filled with a sait-iish door
and it was explained by the proprietor IN
nidgeon- English that they were a sort or
flying fish which are caught In large num-
beers in the China sea. The Chinese con
noisseurs regard these fish as rare deli

two years ago the sixth precinct police
raided a Chinese poker game and heavy
fines were imposed Since that time they
have been more wary about their gaming
operations.
In one of the importing houses was found
a shrewd little Chinese merchant whose
latest specially is a brand OF high grade
opium cigarette. which is in nigh favor
with certain class OF women in Washing
ton. 1t is said that FIVE or six of these
cigarettes smoked IN succession, or what is
known as "chan smoking will produce the
so-called blissful intoxication which IS de-
scribed by hitters of the opium pipe.
Another of the social organizations of
Chinatown is the Lee Club" which has its
club rooms In the second story of :;25 Penn
sylvania avenue. The apartments are fitted
with hunks. where the members San stretch
their tired limbs while reading the Chinese
literature, which is plentifully provided.
There are also arrangements for supplying
the club men with tea, the national bever-
age of China, in dainty little cups. Chinese
wines are kept by the oriental merchants,
but they are seldom used except in celebrlt-
ing Chinese New Year.

movement being sanctioned by Gen. Sher-

names of which sounded something like
"oon- haw-ung.' These appeared to be
cross between a small member of the all-
gator family and a large lizard. They had
been thoroughly sun dried and cured and
were stretched full length on little sticks.
A Chinaman who could speak fairly good
