Warning of Storms.

More eyes even than usual are turn
ing to the barometer on these morn
ings. The gardener cries out for rain,
the devotee of sport or society for
just one more fine day, and so on. But
there are other barometers than the
one with the glass face. Frequent al
lusiens have been made to the warn
ings given by nature.
The idyllc calm of the hen run

eitement, the fowls running about and

the cat scratches herself behind the

Files are all agog; their quiet re-
hectiveness gives place to restless
and greedy buzzing round everything
and every one. Bees either stop at

they see a storm coming.

The Real You.

From time to time, in allusion to
some presumably great man, the des-
cription is offered that he is IA many
sided man" that his accomplishments
are so varied that they flash in MANY
directions like the facets of diamond.
Now and then we hear of some ordi-
nary man who has a double person
ality. At some time he is one per
son, at another time quite different
person. 1t may be that such one
is very clever and agreeable away
from home and quite the reverse at
his own fireside. 1t is more rare to
have any exploitation of the woman
of the double personality. But here
is such case reported in London
court. An English woman married,
on March /, Hindoo barrister prae-
tieing in London. She now accuses
her swarthy lord of assaulting her and
tying her up in a sheet. Her own
letters to the husband prevented the
winning of her suit In one letter she
sends him "a kiss" In another she
writes: oh, | am longing to see you.
Do come to me, dearest. Your loving
Ruby" To this Rubaiyat the dark
man answered. (which is the real
you? You. who promised to make this
life a paradise for me. or you who
told me to go to hell. "-Indianapolis

Sunstroke Without Sun.

Sunstroke is seldom fatal in this
country, but it may have very serious
after effects. 1t has been noticed in
the army and navy that officers who
have once had severe sunstroke are
seldom quite as efficient afterward.
They are sometimes inclined to deaf
ness, often TO ringing in the ears, and
arc always more inclined to come on
the sick list fer trifiing causes.
sun is not necessary to sunstroke.
fact which explains why many doctors
prefer To call it heatstroke. You can
get sunstroke before a hot fire, and in
many cases occur after the sun is set.
| You are most likely to get it if doins
f, hard physical work. Shop stokers are
| peculiarly liable to il, and it is the us
| uai cause of the suicides by drowning
which occur SO frequently amons
: stokers at sea.
The chief tip about avoiding sun
p; stroke is to take things easy in hot
wea ther, particularly if you are run
down physically, as sunstroke usually
| attacks people who are out of sorts.
! Army surgeons recommend keeping
| constantly wetted cloths under the hat
! cabbage leaves. .
Sunstroke usually comes gradually
| in this country, the victim becoming
more and more languid before he col
lapses. In hotter countries it usually
comes with the suddenness of "A stroke
OF apoplexy.
The first thing to do with any one
attacked by sunstroke is to lay them
down in a dark room. Cold cloths
| should be applied to the head. If the
| pulse is very feeble, stimulants are
needed.
Acurious point about sunstroke that
| medical science is unable to explain is
| that the sufferer always gives off a GU
