Work n Intense Heat.

Persons who complain of the heat
when the thermometer reaches the
nineties," said . steamship engineer,
seldom think Of the discomforts Of
men employed in gas works, in blast
furnaces and in steamships, where tho
fremen have to endure an atmosphere
ranging from lis to 140 degrees. In
all these and many other places where
big boilers are located the men ear
very little clothing, and while they un-
doubtedly suffer from the exposure,
they do not feel the heat as much as
might be supposed. The explanation
of this fact is that these men are not
reached by the humidity. They are
working in places where the artificial
heat is so intense as to drive out the
humidity, and 11S or more degrees Of
heat in . pure, dry air is not felt as
much as a mixture Of 80 degrees Of
heat and 80 per cent of humidity. that
tells on people and sorely tries their
vitality"

TRADE THAT WAS CALLED OFF
Minister'S Really Good Reason for Not
Purchasing Horse.

II saw an instance recently" re-
marked Senator Carter of Montana,
'of n way to get along with Indians
when 1t comes to a horse deal. One
Of the missionaries who makes occa
sional excursions into the Grow coun
try by way of getting on friendly
terms with the tribe, commissioned
two Of the mel to get him a swift,
strong and presentable riding horse.
and he stipulated that he would pay a
hundred dollars for the kind of horse
described. The braves 500 appeared
with a horse, swift, strong and a
splendid looking animal. but, alas! SO
vicious that he had to be dubbed al
most to insens;bility before he would
be saGdled. Then the Indians blind
folded him to get on the bride.
The missionary looked on, anything
but edited by the conduct Of the
braves and fierce temper OF the horse
Still, the Indians insisted that they
had brought the horse described and
they demanded the hundred. The mis-
sionary explained that though the
horse could go like the wind, the rider
ran the risk of having his neck broken
before he G:snounted. More than that,
the missionary was not strong enough
to beat the horse as the Indians had.
Besides, he finished tearfully, How
can | blindfoli the horse whenever !
want to mou1t?' The Indians renlied
that all he had to do vas to take off
his shirt and tie it owe the horses

Cramp Rings.

Formerly 1t was customary for kings
of England on Good Friday to hallow
certain rings, the wearing of which
prevented cramp or epilepsy.
They were made from the metal of
decayed collins and consecrated with
an elaborate ceremony, some details
Of which are still preserved. They
were highly recommended by the
medical profession" about 1857, for
Andrew Boorde, in his "Breyiary of
Health" speaking Of cramp, says:
"The kynge's majestic hath a great
helpe in this matter in hallowing
crampe ringes without money or petit
tion."
Occasionally cramp rings played .
persuasive part in diplomacy. Lord
Berners. our ambassador at the court
of Charles ", wrote in 1903 "to my
lorde CARDINALS grace" for some
'crampe ryngs." with trust to "bsstowe
them well, by Gods grace"
