Those Brass Heads.

Ex-Governor Stone continues to be
funny regarding those heads on the
bronze doors of the new state capital,
and was lately quoted as follows:
'Then take the face which is suppos-
ed to represent Quay. Most certainly
it does not look like the late Senator,
but it does resemble the Sphinx. Then

a schoolboy would recognize it, but

arch will be among the also ran
Il tell you this Is important. We
must be careful. A mistake now might
be unjust to the dead as well az the liv-

represent Senator Clark. Another err

either likeness of Mephisto or ex-J Judge

Struck by Lightning.


During the storm of Sunday after
noon the house of Claude Thompson on
the Southside, Butler. was struck by
Lightning and large hole made in the
roof of the bath room, and Miss Laura
who was in the bath room at the time
was severely stunned; as were also MI

yer, in the East End, and occupied by
Geo. Wonderly and family was also
struck during the same storm and
window torn out. Mr.. Wonderly and
her baby were sitting near the window
at the time, and their escape was con
sidered miraculous. The house of Abm
Stock in same section was also struck
and set on fire, but Mr.. Stock extin'
guished the flame.

Appendicitis.

A well known Philadelphia docto,
lately asserted that the biting Of finger
nails Is the chief cause OF the majority
OF cases Of appendicitis that are operaf
ed on daily at the yarions hospitals
Nothing Is more likely to cause the ap-
pendix to become infamed and sub.
sequently perforated than the hard
pieces OF nails bitten off the ends OF
fingers and swallowed In one hospital
In Philadelphia In one week there were
nine persons operated upon for ap
pendicitis, and seven were caused by
the biting Of the finger nails,

No Water for Ship Canal

The project to build ship canal from
Lake Erie to the Ohio River is not re
garded seriously in Ohio. Homer e
Stewart, well known lawyer Of War
rem, Ohio. calls attention to the fact
that the topography of Ohio as shown
by the Government surveys is not ex
actly fitted for lake and river canal
Lack of water. according to Mr.. Stew
art, will be the great drawback in the
operation of the proposed slip canal
He says:
Lake Erie is only 584 feet above the
level of the ocean, while the figures in
white paint on posts and poles, made
by the Government surveyors quite re-

Unhappy Russia.

On Saturday last the Car issued a
ukase dissolyIng the Duma or Parlla-
ment: and another declaring st. Peters
burg and vicinity under state OF
martial-law. The city was packed with
soldiers, hundreds of arrests were made,
and the parliament building was closed
and guarded by police who refused ad-
mission to all. The Cars precipitate
action was severely criticized; riots
took place in several cities, and the
Dnma met in Viborg and issued
manifesto" to the people of Russia.
All the Russian army officers. on leave
OF absence. have been ordered to return
to their regiments, on account OF threat
ening conditions. The army is now the
sole pillar of the aristocracy, and If 1t
deserts them, they are gone.
The new Premier, Stolypin, has ad-
dressed all the state and provincial gov
ernors as follows:
I'm conformity with Instructions re-
ceived from the emperor. with the view
of securing full cooperation between
the different local authorities, hereby
inform YOU that the government ex-
poets you to exercise vigilant and un-
firing supervision over your subordin-

definitely restored. Disturbances must
be suppressed and revolutionary move
ments must be put down by all legal
means.
Tine measures you take must be
carefully considered. The struggle be-
gun ia against the enemies OF society
and not against society itself. Con-
seouently wholesale repression cannot
be approved of. Imprudent and illegal
acts are likely to give rise TO discomfort
instead Of conducting to calm and can
not be tolerated. The intentions OF the
emperor are immutaL1e. The govern
ment firmly desires to assist in tine
amendment of the legal procedure and
the laws hitherto enforced which nc
longer serve their purpose. The Ole
regime will be regenerated. but order
must be fully maintained. You must

EAGLES IN BATTLE.
The Daring and skill OF These Fierce
Birds of Prey.


Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in the
habit OF attacking large animals, but
a contest witnessed by an observer dis
peIs such theory. The battle was
between an eagle and Il stag.
The bird singled out from herd one
particular buck. which it succeeded in
driving from the rest. 1t struck the
animal with its powerful wings, knock
ed it down and finally killed it. A still
more remarkable spectacle Is well au-
thenticated. An eagle attacked q
fawn in the highlands Of Scotland.
The cries Of the little one were an
swered by its dam, which sprang upon
the eagle and struck it repeatedly with
It's forefee.. Fawn. deer and eagle
rolled down a declivity, the bird was
dislodged from its hold and the fawn
rescued
Many traditions are extant as to the
carrying off Of children by eagles. The
most recent case bearing close scru-
tiny is one which happened in South
Africa. 4 Boer farmer whose stock

them descend and carry off the five
ycar-old child Of one of the Kaffir serv-
ants He shot the bird, which, with
the child still clutched in its grip, fell
into thorn bush. The bird was dead,
but the child was little hurt.
Two eagles will stalk n covert in
concert. While one conceals itself the
other beats about the bushes with
great screaming, driving out its quarry

has been observed. An eagle seeing a

It's leisure. In the light Of such rec

Sunstroke

4 sunstroke is caused by excessive
heat, and especially if the weather is
muggy. 1t is more apt to occur on the
second, third, or fourth of series OF
hot days than on the first. Loss OF
sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse of stimulants,
predispose to it. 1t is more apt to at
tack those working in sun the, especial
ly between the hours of eleven o'clock
in the morning and four o'clock in the
afternoon. On hot days wear thin
clothing Have as cool sleeping rooms
as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and un-
necessary fatigue. IL working indoors
and where there is artificial heat
Qaundries, etc. J see that the room IS
well ventilated If working in the sun,
wear a straw light hat mot black, as 1t
absorbs the heat. etc, and put inside
of it. on the head, a wet cloth or large
green leaf, frequently lift the hat from
the head and see that the cloth is wet.
Do not check perspiration; but drink
what water you need to keep it up, as
perspiration prevents the body from be-
ing over heated. Have. whenever pos
sible, an additional shade, as thin
umbrella when walking, canvas or
board cover when working in the sun.
If feeling of fatigue. dizziness, head
ache, or exhaustion occnrs, cease work
Immediately, lie down in a shady and
cool place, apply cold cloths to and pour
cold water over head and neck. If any
one is overcome by the heat, send i'm
mediately forthe nearest good physician.
While waiting for the physician, give
the person cool drinks of water or cold
black tea. or cold coffee. if able to swal-
low. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge
with or pour cold water over the body
and limbs, and apply to the head pound
ed ice wrapped in towel or other
cloth. II there is no ice at hand, keep
cold cloth on the head and pour cold
water on it, as well as on the body. If
the person is pale, very faint, and pulse
feeble, let him inhale ammonia for a
few seconds, or give him teaspoonful
of aromatic spirits of ammonia in two
tablespoonfuls of water with little
sugar.-Sc1 Am.
