Wet and Orv Heat.
From the Baltimore News. I


Some Of our citizens are good deal
exercised over the apparent discrepancy
between the state Of the thermometer
and their feelings. They have observed
that when the mercury climbs highest in
the tube they do not always feel the heat
most; that when the temperature, &C:
cording to the thermometer, is at eighty
or eighty-fve degrees they sometimes
feel much more uncomfortable from the
heat than when ten degrees higher is in
dicated by the mercury. The fact is the
thermometer only registers the tempera-
ture of the atmosphere. It does not
show the effect Of the wind, which often
tempers the intense heat, neither does it
indicate the humidity Of the air, which
may be comparatively cool, yet SO
charged with moisture that it seems to
make everything moist and causes us to
say the weather is ''sticky." The ther-
mometer does not indicate what the feel
ings Of human beings are, or ought to be,
according to the temperature except in
very wide ranges of the mercury-but il
shows simply the airs heat unaffected by
the influences of wind or water. After
all, each man is thermometer to him.
self, and no general indicator can guide
him as to his condition.. There are in.
huences within himself-clothing food
and habits of hfe-that act upon lis body
far more powerfully than extraneouf
ones, and the only way to keep comfort,
able in warm weather is to consider the
things which act directly upon each
person and so change or temper them &C.
cording to hygienic laws as may most
conduce to health. There is no sure1
way Of feeling uncomfortable in summer
than to be constantly examining the Their
mometer and thus becoming the slave of
its canrices

Clever Doc.

Custer was the name of Newfound-
land dog that belonged to a New Jersey
girl. "We trained him to hold the halter
in his mouth and lead the horses away. "
she said. "He could carry two eggs in
his huge mouth and never break one.
He could turn knob as well as any one.
and on entering the room would always
turn around and put his paw on the door
to close it. If this failed he would lump
upon the door, taking care not to scratch
with his nails. If any one sat down in
the house without dofing his hat Custer
would steal stealthily up behind him and
pull it off, then dropping it on the floor
at the side of his chair would walk quiet
ly away and lie down, as one who had
performed a duty. We would wrap a few
pennies in paper and send him with it
IN his mouth to a store for candy, of
which he was very fond. After deliver
ing it to us he would stand expectantly
by, wageging his tail, and waiting for the
sweet morsel he knew he was sure to get.
He was fond of milk, too, but would
carry it faithfully to our pet lamb; and
though he would glance lovingly into
the pail occasionally, he was never
known to betray our trust or steal one
sip OF the coveted beverage"

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill: While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not intlamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
| sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

MUSIC IN THE NlcH1.
HARRIET PRESCOTT sPoFFoRD.

When stars pursue their solemn fight
OFT In the middle of the night
A strain Of music visits me,
flushed In moment silvery-
such rich and rapttrous strains as make
The very soul Of silence ache :
With longing for the melody.
Or lovers in the distant dusk
OF summer gardens, sweet with m usk,
Pouring the blissfu1 burden out,
The breaking Joy, the dying doubt;
Or revelere-all down with wine,
And in q madness half divine,
Beating the broken tune about.
Or else the rude and rolling notes
Hoarse with the salt spray, it may be,
Of many mile of rushing sea;
Or some high-minded dreamer strays
Late through the solitary ways,
Nor heeds the listening night for me.
Or how, how whence those tones be heard,
Hearing, the slumbering soul is stirred,
As when swiftly passing light
Startles the shadows into flight,
While one remembrance suddenly
Thrills through the melting melody
A strain Of music in the night.
Out Of the darkness bursts the song,
Into the darkness moves along:
Only chord of memory jars,
Only an old wound burns its scars,
As the wild sweetness of the strain
Smiles the heart with passionate pain,
And vanlshes among the stars.

This dispatch came to-day to a pal
of a young man, who, for two weeks
past, has been working in Tax-Collec-
tor McCloy's Office. He has, through
confederates outside of the office, and
in COLLISION of those who received
them, been issuing bogus license
privileges. Two have been found
amounting to perhaps $3.50, and one
the buyer is said TO have paid 1920
for. The fellows plan was to have a
man to go about and find customers,
then issue the license with Mr.. McCloy's
name attached thereto, but not coun-
tersigned by Mr.. George B. Fleece.
The latter discovered that licenses
we're out not authorized by him. In
yestigation led TO further information.
Dooner made himself scarce a day or
two since, and this dispatch came from
him at st. Louis. An answer went
back to catch aud hold Mr.. Dooner.
