The weather has been very warm .for day or two past, and We may expect a few spells of tropical heat before the end of August. It is Well to take things as easy as one can and to prepare for these multursts. The following report of the Sanitary Com- mittee of the New York Board of Health open ituatitreketie appreived_and publiehed by the Board. They apply here: Sun- stroke is . caused by excessiveheat, and especially if 'the weather is "muggy." It is more apt to (Abut on the second, third or fourth day of a heated term than 'ou the first. Loss of seep, excitement, close sleeping rooms, , • abuse • of stimulants, predispose to it. It is more apt to attack those woriting"in the sun, and especially between the hours of 11 o'dlock in the morning and.4 in the afternoOn. On hot days wear thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping -rooms as poesibte: Avoid lossof sleep and' all unnsoeseary fatigue. If working in -door, and where there is artifi- cial heat -laundries, eto.-see that the room is well ventilated.

CADE OF IEFANTT3-., The new Board of Health publishes the annexed rules for summer in regard • to the nursing of infants. • Mothers can read them with profit: - • . Overfeeding does more harm than nnyo thing.else : nurse an infant a Month or two old every two or three hours. • Nurse an infant of six menthe and over five times' in twenty-four hour, and no MOTe.. If an infant is thirsty give it pure water or barley water ; no sugar. • On the hottest days a few drops of whiekey may be added to either water or food; thewhiskey not to exceed ateaspoon- ful in twenty-four hours. In relatiou to the feeding of, infants the Board advises: Boil a' teaspoonful of powdered barley (ground in coffee grinder) and olio half pint of water, with tia little oalt, for fifteen minutes ; strain, then mix it with half as much boiled milk, add a lump of white sugar, size of a walnut, and give' ;it luke- warm from a nursing bottle. Keep bottle and mouth piece in a bowl of water when not in use, to which a little soda may be added: • For infanta five or six months old, glao half barley water and balf boiled ' milk, with salt and a lump of sugar.. ' For older' infante, give more milk than, barley water. s For infante very costive, give oatmeal instead of barley. Cook and strain as before,. When your breast Milk is only half enough, change off between breast. milk - and this prepared food. • . In hot weather, if blue litmus paper applied to the food turns red; the ,;'food is too acid, and you must make a fresh mees or ,add u smell pinch of baking sodas, . Infants of eix months May have beef tea or beef soup 01306 a day by itself or mixed with other food, and when ten or twelve months old a crust of.. bread and a piece Of - rare beef to suck. , - . No obild under tvso years ought to eat- at your table. • Givemo 'candies -in fact, nothing that is not contained in these rules without a doc- tor's order. The Board thus refer to siffnmer cont- . plaint : • . • It comes' from overfeeding and hot •and foul air. Keep doors and windows open. Wash your Well children with cool .water twice a day or oftener in the hot season. Never neglect looseness of the bowels in andnfant ; commit the family or dispensary physician at once, .and he will give you .rules about what it should take and how it • should be nureed. Keep, your rooms as tmooltrial-pessibtet-have-thennowell-ventilated and do not allow" any bad smell to cepa° from sinks, privies, ' garbage , boxes , or gutters about the braise where you live.

A last (Wednesday) night's St. John's, Que., despatch says: , This section of the country was this evening visited by one of the :fiercest storms seen in Years. About 3.45a terrible rata from the southwest set in, and the wind lowed a gale. Shortly after, haitetones aslarge as marbles began to fall, and continued for several minutes. In an incredibly short time the torrent floodedthe streets, the drains being insuffi- cient to carry off the extraordinary amount ,of water. Several cellars under the princi- pal stores oil Richelieu street were flooded, causing much damage. The ;etreets in Eeveral places were completely blocked by trees which had stood the 'storms of thirty and forty years, but to -day suc- cumbed. Piles ,of lumber were blown from the wharves into the river, and the lumber yaroslost heavily, thelumber being blown hundreds of feet and broken to atoms. Fences were blown over in all directions.The ..gable end of the brick brewery and the iron roof of Mrs. Dewar's store and dwelling were ehattered. The rain poured through the wooden covering of the latter in. torrents. The excitement caped by the storm had hardly subsided when the town was again aroused by an alarm of fire at the Victoria Hosiery Com- pany's buildings. The alarm via,stao sooner given, than scores of - females were seen frantically running ,tti the windows of the 'upPertstorey and on the roof, but through the•presence of mind of the proprietors all escaped safely, some by a ladder, others by the uenal means of escape, and' others again by crossing to the neighboring roofs. The fire brigade turned out, but fortunately their services were not required, . the tire having been got under control. It is supposed to have originated from an old gasometer, buried in the yard, used some years ago to light the building, he con-: -dueting-pipes-from -which-Fun Under the floor. The, opinion is that these mei had got stopped, and gas' -forming from quantity of gasoline supposed to have been left in the reservoir, the flooding of the Cellar torday removed the obstructions in .the pipes, when the gas escaped, causing a heavy explosion, which sent the fire and smoke up the shaft of the hoist and filled the upper storeys. The damage from fire is slight, and is fully covered by in- surance. .. ' , - TWO FAMILIARS, _ Being Thome of Mr. and Mrs. !liable and of Mrand dive. Beisey.'

He who stands for the first time in a tropical foreet will be struck most forcibly, perhaps, by the eingular appearance of the numerous aerial roots. These slender cords hang in tangled skeins among the branches, swaying in the light breeze or curling against the trunk of a tree to mingle with; leaves and branches, or, growing thicker and more woody the older they become, finally themselves afford foot- hold for a fern or an orchid. One is astonished to find how , strong these herd- like roots are. They. hang', in mid-air, like swaying threads from a '; spider's web, and often fall from a branch fifty or sixty feet from the groond, and are strong enough to sustain, not ten or twenty 'pounds only, but even bear a fifty -pound weight without breaking. Some of these air -roots descend to the ground and as soon fts they reach the earth bury them- selves, to act like ordinary roots. After the hungry fingers a.re;able to cling to the ground the " air -roots 'rapidly increase in size. Others descend, twining around the first, and the Mafia iinally become a tree) itself in size. Sornetimee the .slender rootlets creep Close ;to the trunk of.a tree; dab:emit imbedding themseli'de in the bark. Some, starting in this way from the point Where the main branches of it tree first grew from the trunk, send down air -roots on all sides at once and filially choke and destroy the original tree to which in their infancy they clueg for protection. -Para (Brazil) Correspondence--- San Francisco Chronicle.

Popular rallaiv Concerning Beef Tea. " You will even, hear BOUae doctors talk about building up their patients on beef tea. Now, the fact is that there is in a, ,howl of beef tea botalittlet if any more nutriment than there is in a glass of lemon- ade. How could there be? We know that the t principal constituent part of beef, besides its 75 per cent. of water, are albumen and fat.. Now, albumencoagu- - lates at 170 degrees Fahrenheit, and at -212 (the boiling point) it becomes like eggs hard boiled. As a consequence, the albumen contained in the meat becomes entangled . in the meshes and is firmly held there. - Of course, then the albumen does .not find its way into the beef tea. As for the fat, the only remaining strengthening ingredient, that comes tatthe top and is always _ carefully_ skimmed off, for nothing is more disgusting to a, sensitive appetite than greasy beef tea. -Andyet-they-willasay-that-well made beef tea is very palatable and seems to de good in manymases of weak and disordered stomachs. Stimulating, not; nourishing. •So it is and so.it does.

A stormy debate arose in the Helmet COM132011B to day on the motion tot"aecom- mit Lord Wolseley and Baron Aloester's Annuity Bitle,for the purpose of coriamut- ing the proposed pensions for lump sums of money. Sir Wilfrid 'Lawson (Raulical) and Lord Randolph Churchill (Conserva- tive) opposed the motion. The latter alleged that an inquiry into the Egyptian war was first necessary. The origin of the war, he said, was diegraeeful, not glorious, as the Government's puppet, the Khedive, was the real author of the massacre at Alexandria. Sir Stafford Northcote (Con- servativts) eupported the Government. The oppoeition to the grants he 'characterized as shabby. The present occasion, he said, was not suitable for raising the question as to the policy of the wa.r. He declined to be led by Lord Randolph Churchill, and he hoped the House would not be induced by the noble lord to accept a position degrad- ing to its honor. Mr. Gladstone declared that Lord Randolph Churchill's .allegation in regard to the Khedivewas entirely at variance with all the evidence in the hands of the Government. Lord Randolph Churchill 'promised to give proofs of this statementif the Governntent would grant i a proper nquiry. RIGUWAY DUEL. One, Principal on Horseback and, the ) Other in a Buggy. _ From the Mountains of Patriek county, in Virginia, comes an account of a highway duel between Sheriff Dunkling and Colonel Waller. Politics was the origin and the recent election the immediate cause Of the resort to deadly weapons. The usual formula of the code was dispensed with. Neither seconds nor surgeons were -present. The Sheriff was mounted on is horse; Colonel Wailer , rode p a boggy. They approached fronitaPposiro 'directions at a point within is few hundred yards of Colonel Waller's house. Upon sighting • each other each drew his pistol. Colonel Wailer fired first from his buggy seat and Sheriff Duckling's horse fell with a, ball in his head. The valiant Sheriff quickly dis- engaged himself from the wounded animal and blazed away at Colonel Waller. One of the bullets frotn his weapon took effect in the stomach of Colonel Waller. The latter continued to fire until his dartridges failed to explode. He then called out to the Sheriff that he was wounded and unable to return his fire. Upon this notification the chivalrous Sheriff Duckling lowered his pistol and hostilities ceased. Colonel Waller, though . severely wounded, drove rapidly home without aid. He is reported to be convalescing. Duckling's horse is dead and the principals are now said to be good friends. • A PANIC AT BARNUM'S.

To add to the confusion one of the lady charioteers abandoned her horses, and they wentdashing around the, ring.
