JULY has given us some hot weather
and probably will give us more
before we are done with it. From
nearly every section of the country
come reports Of unusually high temper
ature. Sunday last was one of the hot
days in the Ohio Valley, the mercury
reaching 103 in the shade at Cincinnati
and 102 at Louisville at O'Clock in the
afternoon. In st. Louis on the same
day maximum temperature of 104
was reported the highest ever recorded
in that city. A large number of fatal
cases of sunstroke were also reported.
Temperatures ranging from 100 to 107
were reported in various places in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, on Tuesday, and.
on the same day, twenty-seven deaths
from sunstroke occurred in Cincinnati.
On Wednesday temperature of 1O5 in
the shade was recorded at Richmond
Va. At Philadelphia, on the same
day, at 3 p. M, the register at the
Pennsylvania hospital was 98o.

Griscom Ends his Fast.
DRINKING MILK AND EATING STRAW
BERRIES AFTER FOURTY-FIVE
DAYS.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Griscom's pulse
this morning was 66 respiration, Is ).
temperature, 9S. At noon, just before
he broke his fast Of forty-five days, he
weighed 1475 pounds. About one hum
dred people assembled in the Olympic
Theatre to see the faster take his first
mouthful Of food. Behind the scenes Il
table was spread containing raisins,
peaches, oranges, cake, bread, crackers,
cheese, whOrtleberries, biscuits, beef
steak, strawberries, milk, milk toast
and ice water. The hero Of the day
quietly walked around, experimenting
the arrangements, talking to the re-
porters and even helping the mattresses
to handle the articles of food, showing
in the meanwhile no signs OF unusual
hunger or excitement. When the cur
tain went up the audience applauded
heartily and Griscom made Il little
speech, setting forth his well-known
views about fasting. He said lie be-
lieved that much physical sickness and
distress was due to overcrOwding the
system with food products, and he had
attempted, and successfully, to show
that abstaining from food could be
safely undertaken, He had once re-
covered by fasting from an illness
which the doctors had pronounced IA
tai. He did not advise prOmiscuous
fasting, but desired scientific attention
to be given the subject, with a view to
hereafter obtaining any advantage there
might be in it as a remedialagent He
was hungry but not raYenous. Fasting
was both mental and physical test,
Will power has much to do with its sue
cess. He had ordered an elaborate
menu. not because he expected to eat
much, but to satisfy his imagination as
well as his appetite.
He then, amid renewed applause, sat
down, and with the words: = Here's
looking at yo4," lifted glass Qt milk
to his lips and slowly drank a goblet
full. Turning out another glass he took
few swallows more and then turned
his attention to the milk toast, eating
very deliberately and stopping to chat
with his companions on the stage,
How does it taste ?'' shouted one Of
the spectators. 6 Very good, assure
you,'' was the reply, " but really do
not feel more hungry than if had fas-
| ted but one day or tWo."
Mr.. Griscom professed his belief that
he could eat any quantity Of strawber-
ries. and next attacked a dish of that
fruit, Pausing, he remarked that with
his usual attention to his own symp.
toms he noticed slight headache, and
would therefore wait a moment before
eating more. The feeling passed off and
he resumed his meal, adding coffee to the
bill of fare. He continued to eat slowly
and with apparent nonchalance, until,
the audience having satisfied their GU
riosity began to disappear.

THE PRESIDENT has steadily i'm
proved, this week, and the latest re-
ports from the White House are very
favorable. For the past three days the
improvement has been remarkable, and
the President is hopeful of being able
to ride out in few weeks. Yesterday
his pulse was down to 80, with the tenn
perature but little more than normal.
DR.. Bliss has said: "For the first time
1 pronounce the great danger as thing
of the past. Unless some serious turn
should be taken, which, of course, is
liable at any time to be the case, he
will soon be officially pronounced out
of danger.n

THE COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS
has recommended the discharging of
more than one hundred clerks in his
department on account of lack of ap-
preparation. If such a great reduction
as that is made in the force of clerks in
the Pension Bureau those that are re-
tanned may have to do ninety minutes
honest work a day, and it is hardly
probable that their constitutions would
hold up under such a trying ordeal,
particularly at this season of the year.

THE Central Railroad Company Of
New Jersey has issued a neat, illustra-
ted pamphlet describing many of the
prominent summer resorts of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, and giving
large amount of information such as
tourists will find ofmuch value. Copies
can be obtained free on application to
Fl. P. Baldwin, General Passenger
Agent, 119 Liberty street, n. Y.
WE acknowledge the receipt of a fine
copy Of " Sunlight and Shadow . John
B. Coughs new book, from A. D.
Worthington & Co., Hartford, Conn,
the publishers, who elsewhere in our
columns advertise for agents to sell
this work. Cough is almost as enter
tanning with the pen as he is on the
rostrum, and his book will doubtless
have large sale. 1t is beautifully prin-
ted and bound.
AMONG the many editions of the
Revised New Testament issued by
American publishers, we have seen
none that we like better than that is
sued by The Henry Bill Publishing Com
pany Of Norwich, Conn. A copy of
this edition now before us is worthy of
much praise for the clearness Of the let
ter-press and the beauty and strength
Of the binding. The publishers have
taken ample time and great pains to
secure accuracy, an important matter
that too many have made secondary to
early issue.
HARPER's MAGAZINE for August is

illustrated from paintings by Sir Josh
ua Reynolds, Gilbert Stuart, Colonel
Trumbull, and J. S. Copley, and draw
ings by w. L. Sheppard. 7. B. Aldrich

tributes a suggestive article, entitled

esting comparison between the old As
sassin, Hassan Ben-Saba, known as

Bakunin, the Nihilist. Samuel Adams
Drake's series of papers on the White

The SHOOTING of Garfield by the
vagabond Guiteau has had the effect to
set people thinking about many things
in connection with the machinery of
our Government, and the narrow es-
cape the country has made from passing
under the partial control of unprinci-
pied politicians will doubtless result in
wiser nominations in the future. No
party that hopes to win will hereafter
have the temerity to nominate for the
Vice Presidency man who is utterly
unfit to rule the Nation, simply because
he possesses the requisite ability as a
political trickster to help carry doubt
full State.
