A #156 [1.4.3 DISCOVERY. ) At llolyhcad en Monday, a tiger escaped from lit-stock’s inenagerie and was only rc~ captuie‘d after much di‘ficalty. At the same menageric, during the evening performance, a Woman siiakuchariucr vas bitten by a serpent, and was carried out in a tit. At Londonderi‘y Assizos on Monday, \‘v’m. Woods, rag gatherer, was convicted of the manslaughter of his parainour, and was sentenced to twelve years penal servi- tude. Prisoner first tied a cord round the woman’s neck, and then nearly severed her head with a scythe. The man concerned in the burgalnrics at ("and-ridge on \Veduesday of last week. and who shot himself when chased by the police inquest on the Body, whicli'was opened on Saturday, was adjourned. ’ A singular dis-severy ofa inissingman, nam- ed Allan Robertson was, says our Melbourne correspondent, made on :llst May last. The history of his case seems almost as, if not more, wonderful than that of Succi, for Robertson lived for '23 days without either food or water, all that time he was lying in a deserted hut in a bush, and that, tOO, in this wintry season in Australia. .An extraordinary birth of triplets is re- ported from Clarccastle district, County Clare. Mrs. Reidy, a farmer‘s wife, a. few weeks ago gave birth to a child which died. The mother sank into a state of coma, con- tinuing thus for several days, with but short intervals of consciousness, when, unexpect- edly, she gave 'birth to two more chialren. The mother died and only one child is liv- ing. . , A sad accident occurred on H. M. S. Active in the Downs on \Vednesday morn- ing. An able seaman llilllletl Jones was as- sisting in getting coals on board the vessel from a collicr, when he slipped between the vessels and sank. An exciting scene follovw ed, his messmates plunging into the water after him, but all their efforts to save him Wife of no avail, and the poor fellow was drowned. * From the South of Ireland on Monday it was reported that another epidemic of fever had broken out on Hare Island, in the Skib- beret-n Union, which has been already the. scene of so much devastation by epidc iies. It is supposed to have originated at the wake of a man vho died of fever, the people then mixing freely together. The doctor’s direction to remove the patient to hospital A notorious burl'lar named John Smith, who was captured in Birmingham, was brought up at Leicester on Monday charged with a daring burglary. The pawnbrokcr’s ship of Mr. King, Willowbridgc Street, wa‘ entered and '50 gold and silver watches and (10 rings stolen. Entrance was effected by removing a stone under the door. Fift-v gold rings and several watches were found a: the house where Smith was captured. He was remanded. Edmond Hart was charged at New on Monday with the murder of his mot-her, whose body he afterwards mutilated, and when diScovcrc-d he was eating part of the flesh. The defence was tha accused was insane. Dr. “'alsli, of New Ross, who ex~ was sullcring from mental agony, but was not mad. He was coiiniiitted for .rial. A deliberate attempt at murder, accom- panied by a suicidal act on the part of the assailant, took place in Back Chapel Street, one of the low quarters of Bolton, on Mon- day night. A quarrel arose between a cloggcr named Win. Morris (55) and a we: man named M’Nainara, through an allegation lie‘ in the Infirmaryâ€"the woman being in a critical condition. in-on at liziszhlnn. A number of navvics cm- y-loyed on the Manchester Ship Canal were drinking in vaults near the ferry, whcn'a lree tight arose. Oneof the men drinking was a sailor just returned home. He wai.T attacked by the iavvies, and they adjourned outside. Here the sailo.\\vas again attacked and thrown over the cliff on to the shore. Unc arm was broken and his spine injured. lie was removed to llirkeiihcad Hospital in a precarious condition. Two arrests have been inade. A: llridgcnorth on Mcndav three little. boy .

Freeman and Sergeant, it is alle'ed, told another inmate they intended to Turn the school down. and carried hot coal in a kettle from the bath room and placed it ina l‘l‘tl. When the alarm of tire was raised the wards were in a blaze. and the tire was extznguishcd with even: diilicult_'. 0n 'l‘ucsday morning a sad casualty r-c‘ curred on Shields liar. It a pears that two ralnn-u fishermen named laotright and Arthur Smith were returning in their boat from iishing. A westerlv gale was blowing at the time, when a sudden gust (f wind caught the sail and capsii'ed the boat, both men beii g thrown into the sea. Another fishing boat in the vicinity endeavoured to l't‘iL‘llt' them, but without avail, Bootright and Smith being thus drowned. The I‘Oily of llootright was afteawards recovered. The men belonged to North Shields, and wt re married, with families. 0 No Responsibility. “So yeuare married. Jack .' "I am, Jim.‘ "I hope you ccnsidercd the matter well.

It is the easiea thing in the world to avoid sunstrokc or heat prostration d :ring the warm, humid days, if you will only ex~ ercise a little care andjudginent and observe a very few simple rules. In the first place ' wear the very lightest.- flaiinels and the air- iest clothir. in your wardrobe, and don’t bein a hurry. Persons of an excitable temperain zit are more liable tâ€"osunst 1"e than those of a :ntvrephlegniaiic dispositiOn. So it is with those wiio have hear: trouble, and .3: is well for them to bear in mind that 't is exceedingly dangerous for them to be affected by the heat. Sunstroke causes a charm in the blood by robbing it of its an- power to take up oxygen, whica, as every body knows, is the very essential of life. Soon the blood becomes saturated with car- bonic 'acid, and unless this is quickly re- moved, death must. ensue. \Vith ahear: function already interfered with, no matter bow~ slightly, heat- strokc, as it is more properly designated, becomesa .very serious matter. The same is so in the. case of stout people. who, as a rule, are more liable to sutl'er from the heat than others. Some case should be exercised in the character and quantity of food and drink taken. y means necessary to change one‘s mode of living, but attire same time heavy, heat-giving articles Of food, that take a long time to digest, if not altogether abjured, ought a: least. to be partaken of sparingly. This certainly does not inflict a hardship upon anybody, for in niiie'cases out often the craving for oils, fats and such articles of food is entirely absent in the summer time, and simply be- ci‘iuse the system does not require. the n. In short, don’t eat a Christmas dinner on the Fourth of July. Much misery and suffer- ing may be avoided by learning to drink slowly. 'As the skin is apt to act freely, it is necessary to keep the body supplied witi liquid. Most people are possessed of the erroneous idc‘a that the sensation of thiste is located somewhere in the stomach, and hence it is that they keep on drinking un- til they can hold no more. The work of throwing off this unnecessary quantity of liquid falls upon the skin and glands, which are apt to become paralyzed in their action as soon as the slightest tendency to heart prostration manifests itself. Bear in mind that thirst is located in the throat, direct y be rind 1h tongue.

Experi- ence has shown siicii lines to be necessary in a vessel built- for great. speed, and the Blen- heimi to be, before all things, a vessel of . the same or . 5 high speed in her character of protected and protecting cruiser. “Th * iriplc-eupansion engines 01 the Illen~ 00., are to be "20,000 indicated horse power, as against 0, 000 indicated lit-rs: power in the case of the Warrior: her trial speed is to be 2‘2 knots, as ne'ainst the 14 knots of the Cl earlier vessel, and her average speed 18.1; knots in smooth water. It will thus be seen, on a comparison instituted between the first of iron-clad sea-going vessels and the most powerful and the most speedy of modern cruisers, that t-li dines chosenin 1590 indicate something approachi 1LT a return to those which were selected inIlSUO, and that ihe chief difference between the old and the new is to be found in an increase of beam, which together with the facts that the hull is light- er in the new vessel than in the old by rea- son partly of the large use of steel in her composition, gives capacity for the carrying of fourfold greater power and for an abun- dant coal suppl". For such engines and for such coal-storing capacity there is absolute st trouble ofisippiug a glass of water inst ad of gulping it down.

The very first thing to do is to remove the sufferer t a shady spot and loosen all the clothing. To get rid of the carbonic acid in the blood keep the limbs in motion, not violently, and thus induce freer respiration.

Hence the armor, weighing some eleven hundred and nineiy tons, is principally con- centrated upon the protective deck. The hull is constructed of steel upon the usual cellular system.

Hammond, in writing about the use of ice water in the A'wth .‘luzrricnu I.’4 ch in, declares that ” there is death in the pot.” He believes that water below a tcniperaturo of fifty degrees should never be uch for drinking purposes, and the reasons given for such moderation are good and sufficient. The liking for ice water, he insists, is by no means a natural taste. Children who are not accustomed to its use find it not, only unpleasant, but actually painful. Babies shudder when it is first put into their mom is, and a North American Indian will twist about for some minutes after drinking a tuinblcrful, apparently affected by it as an unpalatable and undesirable dose.
