KEEP CooL.-This is brief piece of ad-
vice. much more easily given than followed in
these DAYS OF excessive heat. TIC keep cool
physically with the thermometer at ninety, is
no easy matter, but then something remedial
may be done in the way Of spare diet. This
is absolutely necessary to health at this sea-
son every year, but more especially so now,
when the heat is unusually intense. Every
kind Of excitement, save that Of gentle exer-
else. is as far as possible to be avoided. The
mind, too, must be kept in state Of placidi,y,
and the temper in subsection, by all who de-
sire 10 keep cool, and per consequence pre-
serve their health. Irritation Of mind, wrang-
ling, disputation and contention are all to be
most decidedly eschewed; but we fear our
voice in this respect will hardly be heard, or,
if heard, effectually needed. In the courts,
cases are to be tried, witnesses have to pass
the ordeal Of examination and cross examina-
ton, and lawyers have arguments to deliver
pro and con and ia such weather as this who
would not feel pity for all concerned! One
thing is certain about The municipalities de-

These will "glow with fervent heat" and

They can't keep cool "no way they can Tx

can hardly keep cool at that. But about Con-
