street, etherlzed the mercury to-day, re-
ducing it to temperate. Men came along
perspiring at every pore, with fans spread
and umbrellas, and when they saw the
indications, lowered the umbrellas, fold
ed their fans, and remarked how quickly
they felt the sea breeze.
Teach your 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 battle,
husband or son sacrificed; who that
ever saw a soldier die, or stood IN any
silent city Of the country's slain, or in, a
churchyard where the village heroes rest,
can eyer make our country seem again a
vague or visionary thing?
A New York contemporary, gravely
discussing the effect Of the heated term
in that city, 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 felt for many contiguous
squares in every direction" Philadelphia
knew that long ago, hence numerous
outrageous squares and the largest pub
lie park in the world; hence one-half as
MANY cases of sunstroke as New York
Now that the weather is warm, perhaps
you'd like to hear of way to keep cool,
as practiced in a 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 bamboo lattice which fits the
door, and is thinly covered with fragrant
sort of grass. By the door stands a jar
cup he throws water over the tattie. The
wind blowing through the wet grass,
cools the air perfectly.

4 The peace-makers having signed the
treaty of Berlin: exchanged compliments
and photographs, have returned to their
respective capitals. Throughout the Con-
tinent there is sense of relief, and in
three cities, London, Vienna and St.
Petersburg, there are signs Of exultation.
This is something larger than national
or personal triumph The new treaty is a
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. Fl.
It 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. 1t is stated that nearly three
quarters of the citizens live in tenement
houses, which numbers 81 900 out Of the
$4,000 buildings in the city. New York
is beginning to rival some Of the Euro
pean continental cities in the extent to
which this style Of building is employed,
but by no means in regard to comfort
and decency of life in them. Luxury
often characterizes tenement life in Eu-
rope; while wretched and unhealthy
poverty is almost universal in such
houses in New York.
The large demand for the Government
four per cents, mainly in small amounts,
shows that people Of small means have
more confidence in Government bonds
than was expected. It world also APP
pear that Notwithstanding the lack of
employment of which much complaint is
made, and the poverty Of the people, .
good many OF them have something left
tolay aside for rainy day This fact
may also have some tendency to embar-
rass those who, for political reasons, are
advocates for taxing Government securi-
ties. It is undoubtedly better for the
