At Bridgenorth on Monday three little boys, Aithur Childe, Thomas Freeman, and Arthur Sergeant, were committed for trial for setting tire to Quatt Industrial Train- ing School. Childo went into the ward and struck a match, setting fire to the bed cloth- ing of a bed in whicli a boy was sleeping. Freeinair and Sergeant, it is alleged, told anotlier inmate they intended to burn the school down, and carried hot coal in a kettle fiom the bath room and placed it in a bed. When the alarm of fire was raised the wards were in a blaze, and the fire was extinguished with creat difRctilty. On Tuesday morning a sad casualty oc- curred on Shields Bar. It appears that two, salmon fishermen named Bootright and Arthur Smith were returniiig in their boat from fishing. A westerly gale was blowing at the time, when a' sudden gttst of wind caught the sail and capsized the boat, both men being thrown into the sea. Another fishing boat in the vicinity endeavoured to rescue them, but without avail, Bootright and Smith being thus drowned. The body of Bootright was af teawards recovered. The men belonged to North Shields, • and were married, with families. Summering en a Farm.

It is the easiest thing in the. world to avoid sunstroke or heat prostration during the warm, humid days, if you will only ex- ercise a little care and judgment and observe a very few simple rules. In the firtt place wear'the very lightest flanndls and tbe air- iest clothing in your wardrobe, atid don't be in a hurry. Persons of an excitaUie temperament are more liable to sunstroke than those of a more phlegmatic disposition. So it is with tlio.?c wao have heart trouble^ and i^t is well for them to bear in mind that it is exceedingly dangerous for them to be affected by the heat. Sunstroke causes a change in the blood, by robbing it of its power to take up oxygen, which, 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. With a heart function already interfered with, no matter how slightly, heat stroke, as it is more properly designated, becomes a very serious matter. The same is so in the case of stout people, wlio, as a rule, are more liable to suffer from the heat than others. Some care should be exercised in the cliaractcr and quantity of fool and drink taken. It is not by any means necessary to change one's mode of living, but at the same time heavy, heat-giving articles of food, that take a long time to digest, if not altogether abjured, ought at letist to be parttiken of sparingly. This certainly does not inflict a hardship upon anybody, for- in nine cases .out of ten the craving for oils, fats and such articles of food is entirely absent in the summer time, and simply be- cause the system does not require them. In short, don't eat a Christmas'dinner on the Fourth cf July. Much misery iind siiffcr- ing may be avoided by learning to drink slowly. A.S the skin is apt to act freely, it is necessary to keep the body supplied with liquid. Most people are. possessed of the erroneous idea that the sensation of tb.iste is located somewhere in the stomaeji, and hence it is that they keep on drinking un- til they can hold no more. The work of throwing off lliis unnecessary quantity of liquid falls upon the skin and gkinds, which arc apt to become paralyzed in their action as soon as the slightest tendency to heart prostration manifests itself. Bear in mind that thirst is.locatcd in tlie throat, directly behind the tongue. This can .be demon- strated by anybody who will go to the tif)ul)le of sipping a glass of water inst'eal of gulping it down. In this way it will soon becotuo apparent that half it .i;lass of water will as effe.itu.illy (iuencli thirst as half a doi-eii glasses, and, what is tnoie, v.'ithout nroducing that sensation- of full- ness wliicii is so annoying on a warm day. Once iiaving learned how to drink judici- ously, half the danger from heat prostra- tion is overcome. Cooling drinks should be freely partaken of in tb.e v.ay above in- dicated, but bear in mind that suddenly chilling the blood with very cold, iced fluids is an oxtrcrritly hazardous proceeding. Htive the water and other drink« iiioderatcly cold, and bcsiiics bcitig safer to take they nh" be- cotne mc're palatable. By paying 'out trifling attention t.i these rules, sleep on a warm ni.uijt lecomes nattiral, ;ind fiiis tdone is half the safegttard against lie;-.t prGstratir.n, for their is notliing so iiivig(irating and re- fiesltir..g as a good night's rest. Xov.- .a v/ord abt.ut iiow to asiist a pcrsoii who has been ]jr.';st rated ])y the lieat wlien a doctor is not. near at liand. Tiic very first tiling to do is lo remove tlie sufferer to a shady spot and loo=..c;i all the clothing. To get rid of the caiiioiiic acid in tlte blood keep the limbs in motion, not violently, and thus induce freer respiration. A tendency, lioweVer slight, ti" returning consciousness is.aiwaj^sa hope- ful sign, for it indi-ate.s tliat tb.e l.Taiii is receiving a sutiply of healthy blood. Apply cold cloths to tbic head and along the back of the neck. .Sometimes, when the pttient's liair is very thick, it is well to shave off j)art of it and place the clotiis directly in conttict with the scalp. If the feet are cold ajiply liot l.iricks and administer stimiilant?, sucli as brandy and water, in small f[uantit!es at frequent ;-iiteivals. Tliis is about all thai can be done in the first stage of prostration, atid it v.'ill generally suffice, for by this time the doctor will be on hand to talvc care of the secondary .symptoms of heat-stroke. â-  Drinks for Invalids. There are some old-time drinks for inva- lids whicli are very refreshing and whole- some in warm weather. Tamarinds intiy now be founil in market at 10 cents a ound in tb.e pod. Shell a cupful and pour over tlie pulp a quart of boiling water. Let it stand about twenty minutes at the back of the stove, sweeten it and allow it to get cool. Then strain it and set it on the ice till very cold, and serve as lemonade. A tama- rind v.iiey is made by boiling an ounce of tamarind pulp in a pint of milk and strain- ing it. .Serve cold, Tlie following is a good old English recipe for barley water which may be grateful to invalids suffering in the summer. Wash well two tablespoons of pearl barley. "Boil it in a jiint of cold water for half an hour. Throw off this water and replace it by two quarts of boiling water. Let the whole boil till the liquid is reduced to onedialf. The juice of half a lemon and a little lemon peel should then be added, and sugar to the taste. A pinch of salt will be found an improvement. Ho'w it Affected Him. A young couple on their honeymoon are dallying languidly 'with the grapes at des- sert.

ENdLAIJD'B MW-WAESHIP. HEE msii'-OLAkrpiOTEOTED CEmSES BLENHEIM. Sncccssfal launcMng of an SnlcrcKling Shipâ€" Fe-itares Tliat «rs of PartlCHlar A special steamer left the Speaker's Stairs, in London, for Blackwall, for the purpose of conveying a number of guests to witness the launching of the fii-st-class protected Britisii cruiser Blenheim. As the steamer passed dov.-n the river it was observed, says a writer in the Loudon Times, that "at many a waterside establishment flags had been hoisted in honor of the event of the day, and finally, when the dockyard of the Tham.es Company was reached, the huge hull of the new vessel, dominating the whole scene, was the centre of interest. Tli re was half an hour or more in which, to examine tne new war sliip before the ceremony of laancliiiig came, and the time was none too long. " The lines of the Blenheim v.ere univer- sal ly admired. She is JiT.' feet long betweau perpendictilars, G5 feet broad amidships, :^S feet deep, her draught of water is 25 feet G inches, nnd iter displacement 9,000 tons. She is ill many respects similar to the \Var- rior, the first a. mor-chid seagoing vessel ever built, wb.ich was launched from the dockyard of the siiine company thirty years ago. The Warrior had the same draught was 5 feet longer, her displacement designers claitr but 7 feet narrower, and v.as 8,827 tons, and the tiiat the extn â- rli width given to the l;lenl;eim, altliongh it would have been unsuitable to the \Vairior, which was built for sailing purposes as well as l(n- steaming, has enabled them to give finer lines to the ends of the new vessel. Experi- ence has shown .such lines to b.e necessary in. a vessel built for great speed, and the Blen- heim is to be, before all things, a vessel of high speed in her character of inctected and protecting cruiser. "Tl'.etriple-exi'ansion engines of the Iben- iieim, liy Messrs. Humphreys, Teiinant k Co., are to be 20,(XX) indicated horse power, as against '), 000 indicated hors2 j.ower in the ca.sc of the Wtirrior; iier trial speed is to be 22 knots, as against, the 14 knots r.f^ the earlier vessel, and her average speed ish knots in smooth watei-. It will thus be seen, on a comparison instituted betv.-eeii the first of iron-clad sca-goitii vessels and the iiiost jjo'vverfu! r.nd the most speedy of modern that thelineschos'.-i: in 1S!10 indicate cruiserj s;,.metiii ap] roaciun; return winch were selected in iSiiO,' and ciiief liffercr.ce between the old is to bo toi:ctlie lo tnose that the 1 tlie new oiind in an increase ff beam, v.hich with the facts that the hull is light- er in tile new vessel titan in the old by ictt- Eon jitirtly f:f tiiC liirge u-e of steel in iter composition, gives capacity for the carrying of foitriold greater power and for an iibuu- dtint cotil sttpply. Foi stic'n engines ami for sucii coal-storing cttpacity there is !tbs(.l-.-,:e necessity in the ciise of a vessel whicii is in- tended to be the fastest criiscr afloat. Mr. White's design was based upon tl;e ilesirc tf' t.iiike the new vessel su];er or u- till riviils not only in speed ;»:id coal-cvrryiiig caiiacity. biit tilsoiii hori;:oiit:.l.ar-:i(.r .pr-.tec- tif'u. Hence the armor, weighing soiiie-elcveii liuiidred and ninety tons, is principally con- centnitcd upoti flic prcjtcctive deck. The hiill is constructed (^f steel upon the usual cellular sj'stetis. The hold spiacc is sttb-divid- cd liiinutciy by water-tight ])uriihcads and deck.-?, 'i'liere is a (â- elluhir dou'olo b.ottom. The inner protective .deck, whicli has for thtjse looking into the interior fii.iii above the appeiirance of a second vessel inctised in tliat whicli is visible froiii without, consists of a roof of curved steel covering tlie holil from stem to stern, the eaves of ti:c r(..of, so to speak, being 01. feet below, wliilc tlie top rises 1 .J feet tib-ovc, tb.e v.'atcr line. Tills sluirply-curving decit is inches thick ever the macliinery and engines, an.l .S inclics thick elsewhere. The vitals of the ship â€" the propelling apparatus, sleet ing gear, mtigtix.- ine, and shell roomsâ€" will till be beneath its protection. The Blenheim carries no vertical side aniKH-; indeed, tlie principle of vertical side armor seems to have been discredited, since it is not to be found in tlie majority oi cruisers recently built or as yet iinfinished. "A slight change in tlie ph;,n for tlie armament of the vcssel.apjiears toltavc hctn made within the last week or so. In the invitation addres^cd by the company to tlieir guests it was thus clescribed Two 22-toii and ten G-iiich breech-loading guns, sitcen .^-pounder ciuiek-liring guns, one 1-incii and seven 0.4,'j-inch Nordenfeldt .guns, and fo ir 14-inch Whitehead torpedo tubes. In- formation v.as supplied on S;iturday to the effect that, the heavy gims were to be 24-ton instead of 22-ton guns, carried on the upper deck as bow and stern -jhasers, with large horizontal arcs of command that the G-inch guns would be 5-ton guns, intended ultimate- ly tol)e(piick firers, of. which the weight, with ammunition, would be equivalent to twenty G-inch strvice guns of the pattern uow afloat. Of these, six are to be carred on the upper deckâ€" two for use ahead tmd on the broad-side, two for use astern and on the broadside, and two amidships â€" training from sixty degrees before to sixty degrees abaft the beam. The remaining four are to be carried on the main deck, two on each broadside, in casemates composed of six-inch steel-faced armor. It appears, further, that the Nordenfeldts are to be reduced in number by one. The Blenheim will thus have the characteristics of the Orlando class as an offensive engine, and her offensive powers are compleFcd by a bow strengthened for ramming. " The Rev. J. Buckley began at 2:.30 the short service, beginning with the appropriate words. ' They that go down to the sea in ships,' which is appointed to be used -when one of her Majesty's ships is launched. By this time, in spite of the inclement weather, which had rendered it necessary to erect a canopy of tarpaulin over the spot at which the act of christening was to take place, a large number of visitors, including represen- tatives of the Admiralty and of the Govern- ments of Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Japan and other distinguished persons, were pre- sent, and a large crowd of spectators, num- bering some thousands, had assembled in the dockyard without. The service over, Mrs. I^pkms stood in readiness to perform her office on the pktform in front of the bow, and for half an hour or more the sound of hammers was heard as the workmen knock- ed away the shores. At last all was in read- in^.
