A political Convention in California
consisted of $50 delegates, but man
who was nominated for the best place on
the ticket says there were 1923 persons
presented to him as delegates, and when
he left his room at the hotel it was lined
with three rows of empty bottles its en-
tire length, and there was pyramid Of
empty cigar boxes.
A Portland paper gives this as proof
of the force Of Imagination: The pWne1
of standard thermometer, on Exchange
street, etherized the mercury to-day, re-
ducing it to temperate. Men came along
perspiring at every pore, with fans spread
endeqmlssllsss and when they saw the
sk4Raioaas; 4oEssaSed theumbrellass, fold
ed their fans, and remarked how quickly
they felt the sea breeze.
A leading cause OF the panic and much
of the trouble that followed is given in
nut she'll by the Commercial Bulletin,
which says "One-third of the railroads
were built in advance of the wants Of the
country, and their stockholders have been
obliged to wait until the country grew
up to them.' The country has aim ost
grown up to them now and the expert
ment will not be tried second time.
faHlshsyour daughters and your sons
alike, next to honor, next to love of home
to love their country. Then when her
need comes, if come it must, in any
struggle, her honor will be their own, and
life itself will not be too dear TO offer for
her sake. Who that remember a, battle,
husband OF son sacrificed ;LIwho. that
ever saw soldier die, or stood m any
silent city of the country's slain, or IN a
churchyard where the village heroes rest,

A New York contemporary, gravely
discussing the effect of the heated term
inthatcity, says: "It is evident, also,
that open spaces, particularly when they
are abundant in foliage, carry with them
striking immunity from prostration by
heat, and act as centres of hygienic in
fuence that is telt for many contiguous
sesquares in every direction" Philadelphia
knew that long ago, hence numerous
outrageous squares and the largest pub
lie park in thesworld; hence one-half as
manv cases of st,rfstfoke as New York. =
Now that the weather is warm, perhaps
you'd like to hear of way to keep ceol,
as practiced in much warmer climate
than ours India. In the warmest
weather there is strong, dry, hot wind
blowing, and to keep the breeze, but
make it cool and moist, they use tattie.
This is a bamboo lattice which fits the
door, and is thinly covered with fragrant
sort of grass. By the: door stands a jar
of water and a native servant. With a
cup he throws water over the tattie. The
wind blowing through the wet grass,
cools the air perfectly.
The peace-makers having signed the
treaty of Berlin, exchanged compliments
and photographs, have returned to their
EespectiYe, capitals. Throughout the Con-
stinent there isaaf sense of relief, and in
three cities, London, Vienna and St..
Petersburg, there are signs Of exultation.
This is something larger than a national
or personal triumph The new treaty is
record of diplomatic successes and com..
promises by which the Powers have been
brought into harmony and peace has been
restored IN Southeastern Europe. While
the Courts have played fast and loose
among themselves, they have labored in
the interests of two continents. 4 IT ~

1t appears from investigation made by
the N. Y. World that the tenement
house system prevails IN that city to an
extent even more alarming than had been
supposed. It is stated that nearly three
quarters of the citizens live in tenement
houses, which numbers $1,000 out Of the
$4,000 buildings in the city. New York
is beginning to rival some of the Euro
