Lassitude and loss of appetite are among the first evidences of the effect of the son's heat upon the body, and in hot weather mauy persons who never have had 6uustroke are debilitated by what might fairly be called sun fatigue, which although not serious, renders work of every kind much more laborious than it would otherwise be.

A spinal pad is used by soldiers in mftny tropical countries. It arrests the light, which o:ten works 6uch injury, but it is uncomfortably hot, and soon becomes objectionable from its absorption of perspiration. According to a royal engineer, who i6 stationed in India, the boon and blessing beyond compare to those who have to 6pend part of their lives under a tropical Bunlight is an orange-colored shirt. Be declared tbat he frequently fell sick after duty in the 6un until he treated himself as a photographic ien6itive plate and surrounded his body with yellow light. All clothing, however thick, allows certain rays to pass, and although thick clothing would arrest all the injurious elements of sunlight, it would interfere with the escape of bodily heat. The yellow shirt, for sensitive people who are mnch in hot 6onlight, is an excellent protection, only ieferior to that simplest and best of all Indian protectivee, a white umbrella, which has not yet been widely used in this country.?Chicago Record.

I used to grind corn and other ] t grains for tho pigs, but years of ex- : ? perience nave taugnt me tnat tne most : I pcot out of it -was hard work, writes , John M. Jamison in the Country Gentleman. The trouble with the farmer in thie mutter lies in the fact that he gets an idea into his head and works in that ' line without any data to show -whether he is correct or not; his experiments , are one-sided and in the direction of ' his prejudices. If ho thinks ground "" " ;V *" ' ed is the thing, he feeds it; but he >es not feed another lot on whole :ain by way of comparison, that he ay know which iB best. Careful excriments have been made in this di:ction by men who work only to now the facts in the case. So far the immed-np evidence is against grindig corn for pigs. - - * - -1 1 fig ieeaers wno ieea mcai iwjc f one very important fact. When a ig eats meal, whether wet or dry, he oes it hastily. If wet the moisture Dnnected with it cannot take the lace of saliva as a digeetive agent. If ry it is eaten too quickly for the meal > become thoroughly saturated with He 6aliva. When a pig is fed whole 3rn in the proper manner hie mouth } filled with saliva in anticipation of be enjoyable morsel when he comes 5 it, and as he grinds the corn you in notice the saliva escaping from his Louth. All the corn that he grinds i thoroughly dampened with saliva efore it is swallowed. When moal is ;d, whether as slop or .dry, it is altost impossible to prevent some waste. 7hen corn is fed whole all can be ived, for a properly fed pig will ather the last grain. But if meal is orked out of the trough it is in the am Inot r>r if slnn is thrown out it i also lost. If a pig does not get out of whole orn all there is in it, it is because of )me mistake on the part of the feeder, nd is not the fault of the grain. It ! folly to expect a pig to ?.o well on orn alone in dead of winter or heat f summer; but if he has some other jod with it of a less carbonaceous ature he will get more from the corn nd thrive better. The food properies of corn are not changed by grindag; it iB still corn, whether it is erved as meal, mush or slop. The only animal of the hog kind bat I shoold think of grinding corn :>r would be aged sows that have worn ut their teeth by years of .grain rinding, and I doubt if they would ay the miller and labor bill. In iiese hard times it is well for the pig jeder to give these things some hought. If the pig will not pay for lielling the corn and taking it to the till, why pay the miller toll for rinding?

This season's girl looks with special favor upon the stiff linen collar. It matters little whether it is comfortable or not. The fact that it is considered stylish makes even the young person with a short, fat neck wear it with apparent joy. Not only have all the new shirt waists been made with this high,stiff linen collar,but the silk waists have this season for the first time been worn with it. This freak of fashion has been one of the novelties of the season. The linen collar has had but An.. 1 _ 1 n 11 1 t 1 iL> uuc xirui rival, ana tniu nas ueuu iu? ribbon Rtock. When the day has been exceptionally warm the soft ribboD stock has been worn in place of the high collar. Now the question of rivalry is at an end. From Paris cornea a new collar, -which is a combination of the ribbon stock and the high linen BLUE SERGE. collar. Its novelty has made it an immediate success. The collar is of linen, abont as high as the ordinary collar, and is cat clerical fashion, not opening at all in front. Technically it is called a Roman collar. It fastens at the back with collar stnds. A series of holes abont an inch apart are cut in the collar and form a line entirely around it. In and out through these holes ribbons are run which tie in the back in a large bow. The ribbons are eo folded that they are narrow when drawn through the holes, but spread out to their full width when they form fVio Vintr This collar looks particularly well when worn with the shirt waist, though THE NEW ROMAN COLLAR. it was not designed for this purpose alone. It adds much to the effect of any waist for every-day wear. One seen worn with a changeable green taffeta silk waist was most chic. Through the holes in the collar taffeta ribbon, exactly matching the silk, was run. At the back the ribbon was tied in an enormous bow, but so deftly arranged that two gold studs, sparkling with tiny emeralds, were visible. Many times the ribbon in the collar docs not match at all tbe coloring of the waist. For example, the collar worn with a light blue taffeta silk waist, recently 6een, had heliotrope ribbon run through it. BLACK SATIN SLIPPERS.

Undoubtedly the greatest lesson for railway managers in this accident (the one near Atlantic City, N. J.) is that it is not safe to dispense with derailing switches at grade crossings. We < are aware that 6ome railway officers * object that a derailment may cause as I serious results as a collision. It is true that it may, but universal rail- i roan experience snows tnai 11 very j seldom does. 1 It is to be borne in mind always in j considering this question that the moral effect of the derailing switch is such that it compels obedience to the warning of the danger signals as no rules or discipline that the best man- i ager can enforce can possibly do. The ' engineer knows that the normal position of the signals is at danger, and , when he approaches theitf and sees I them against him he too often thinks that it means nothing more tfian that the tower operator has been a little dilatory in throwing his levers. But if vooliira that, to rnn nftRt a dancrer signal means absolutely and invariably that his train is going off the rails, he has a much more powerful motive to induce him to keep hie train under control as he approaches such signals. ?Engineering News.
