A Recent for Kaeninr Oool.

their pocket handkerchiefs every few
moments that they will be cool, or, at
least as comfortable as the weather will
permit. Now, this is all wrong. A
cold drink makes one feel exceedingly
comfortable for few moments, and
then the individual will feel warmer
than ever and perspire more profusely.
''The best way to keep cool is as fol-
lows: Do not drink any ice-water; take
only one glass of soda or lemonade a
day; eat a warm dinner, but do not eat
quite as much as you want; take hot
coffee or teasfor breakfast, just as you
do in winter; sleep with very light
gauze blanket over you in the night,
and take sponge-bath in tepid salt
water before retiring. This makes the
body cool and Keeps musquitos away.
Do not wear a heavy hat or tight col
lar; wear light ilannels, low-cut shoes,
carry an umbrella, and, above all, do
not rub your face too often, because the
action only heats the skin to. q greater

A Monkey and a. Mirror,

I witnessed the following incident
in the Jardin les P]antes, now many
years ago, but it struck me greatly at
the time and have narratcd'it repeat
eddy in the interval. A large ape-l
believe anthrapoid, but cannot tell the
species-was in the great iron cage
with a number of small monkeys and
was lording it over them with many
wild gambols to the amusement of a
crowd of spectators. Many things
fruits and the like-had been thrown
between the bars into the cage, which
the ape was always forward to seize.
At last some one threw in a small hand
looking glass, with a strongly made
frame of wood. This the ape at once
laid hold of and began to brandish like
a hammer. Suddenly he was arrested
by the reflection of himself in the glass
and looked puzzled for q moment; then
he darted his head behind the glass to
find the other of his kind that he evil
IDENTIFY supposed to be there. Aston
ished at finding nothing, he apparently
bethought himself that he had not been
quick enough with his movement. He
now proceeded to draw and raise the
glass nearer to him with great caution,
and then, with a swifler dart, looked
behind. Again finding nothing, he re-
peated the attempt once more. He
now passed from astonishment to an
ger, and began to beat violently with
the frame on the floor of the cage.
Soon the glass was shattered and pieces
fell out: Continuing to beat, he was
in the course of one blow again arrest
ed by his image in the piece of glass
still remaining in the frame. Then, as
it seemed, he determined to make one
trial more. More circumspectly than
ever the whole first part of the process
was gone through with, more violently
than ever the final dart was made.
His fury over this last failure knew nc
bounds. He crunched the frame and
glass together with his teeth, he beat
on the floor, he crunched again, til

he Resumed.

One of the biggest liars in the State
of Michigan in 1859 was an old citizen
of the county of Wayne, who used to
hang out around the Dearborn hotel and
groceries. In the winter of that year
and 1860 he was brought low with sick
ness, and he made a solemn VOW that
if he got we'll he would quit lying. He
recovered, and as soon rs able to be
about he frankly stated his position.
Some of the boys could hardly be-
lieve in the strange occurrence, and 80
one night when he had the head of a
sugar barrel in his favorite grocery,
some one asked:
"Uncle Billy, didn't you once assert
that you had moved six acres of grass
in day?"
"Y-e-s, said so, but I guess I did
not measure very close. guess the lot
didn't hold over three acres"
"And haven't you peatedly said that
you were in the Mexican WARP"
IL presume so, but you see / had
an uncle in it and suppose I kind O.
got mixed"
''And haven't you Dragged of cutting
five cords of wood per day?"
''Did say five cords? I probably
misspoke myself. I reckon it was about
three"
''And haven't you claimed that you
lifted 1000 pounds of old iron?''
''Lets see! Did I say 1000? There
might have been few pounds less, but
you see had powerful brace for my
knees.'
The old man felt that he was losing
prestige by scaling down lies which he
had made plenty Of men believe, and he
was becoming very uneasy, but there
was one more question. The interro-
gator looked Uucle Billy square in the
face and asked:
"Now, sir, do you admit that you lied
when you told a story here eight weeks
ago about your killing two robbers in
Texas?'
mo, sir! no, STRIP holly exclaimed
the old man, as he slid off the barrel.
1--we been sick and I've had narrow
squeak of it, and I've made vow not
to do any more lying, but if you chaps
think I'm going to hang out here and
play second fiddle to liars who have
never been out of the county you are
badly sold! Vows be hanged! Gentle
men, resume business!' -Detroit Free

Kissing BIZ Tel srraDh.

The dispatches state that King AL.
fonso kisses his wife by telegraph. 1t
matters not if all the kings and queens,
lords and potentates OF the old world
kiss in that manner, it will never be-
come popular with the young man of
the country town, who takes his best
girl to the picnic. King Alfonso may
be able to see pleasure, ana to extlat1
enjoyment out Of n kiss by telegraph,
but even kiss by telephone, where the
volley can be heard all along the line,
would not do for the boys and girls OF
America. King Alfonso may 90 on
with his kissing by telegraph business put
when the boys of America find that they
can no more wrap their arms around the
corsets of the girls they are to kiss, kiss
ing will 60 out Of style altogether. How
much satisfaction could u jolly, good
natured, loving American find, II he
were long distance from home, and
had not seen the dear wife and the loved
ones at home, or the travelling man on
the road who has not seen his darling
girl for month, how much satisfaction,
we say, would man in such condi-
ton find in going to telegraph station
and kissing into the electrical machine,
and hearing no response from the other
end OF the line, pay for the kiss message
and go back to the hotel, to club him
self for being so far from home. No,
the true American who knows what a
kiss means, and who knows the Ian
guage of a kiss by heart, don't want any
kissing by telegraph in theirs. King
Alfonso may go on with his telegraphed
kiss, and it is hoped that his wife, or
best girl, as the case may be, is suited
with that kind of kissing, but when the
loving American is far from home, and
suddenly feels that he ought to be home
attending a kissing match, he is going
to get there by the first train, and ali
the telegraphed kisses that could be
sent over all the lines on earth in a
month of Sundays would not satisfy
him. A king who will be guilty Of such
affection as that must be q cold FLOODED,
heartless dude. -Peck's Sun.

One Life3Saved Thirty Times.

''Snooze" has the reputation of being
the greatest life-saver in Harlem. His
breast is decorated with innumerable
medals. On Sunday Snooze very seldom
has money, and so the idea of becoming
lite-saver took possession of him. He
saves very easily, and guarantees to per-
form the work efficaciously and we'll.
He takes to the Harlem Bridge with
him a street gamin, who waits till the
dawn opens, and then, before the horri-
fled crowd can realize it, topples from
the bridge into the river.
Snooze is on hand. Quick as flash
the coat is off, and he plunges, amid SOL
emn silence, into the river. The street
Arab who assists him in the business is
an expert swimmer, and soon his BODY
floats on the surface. Snooze approach
es. The body sinks. Down goes Snooze,
and after half a dozen exciting dives the
body is brought to land and the street
gamin is revived. Then another con-
spirator, somewhat neater dressed than
the divers, opens his purse for Snooze
and magnanimously leads off with $40.
Snooze has made hundreds of dollars at
the business and wears thirty-seven
medals. He has saved one life thirty
times. n y. World.

Where One may Still see Elk.

It is not TO be wondered at that Utes
were 10th to quit the country around
Carbonate as y hunting ground, for in
all Colorado don t think Garfield and
Summit Counties have their equal for
game, elk, deer, grouse, bearand rab-
bits are here in more than abundance
the mountains actually swarm with
them, if may use the expression.
Near snow line, on Deep Greek, is a
herd of elk numbering 1000 to 900
head, out of which l have had my share,
having hams of the stately fellows hang
ing outside of my tent on a tree all the
winter through. / have lost no bears,
consequently have been hunting none
this winter, but saw a man the, other
day who said his partner knew. man
whose brother shot a bear about cub,
bling time, a short time ago. This is
the only authentic source from which
learned that bears actually run at will
in this land of snow and steady habits.
A great many of the boys camped here
see bear signs daily, but for some
reason or other fail to connect on the
animals themselves. Hence a scarcity
of bear meat in the market.
As the snow slowly melts, the stumps
of trees are looming up in the snow,
and if bare ground is found before the
coming of another winter the streets of
this embryo city will have ridiculous
appearance. On them will be seen nu-
merous tall stumps, say fifteen totwcn-
ty feet high, the remnants of once thrift
ty trees cut low Cor shall it be higD to
furnish fuel for the pioneer prospcctors
who braved the hard winter and deep
SHOWS of 1883, and built their tents in
the branches of tall frs. Those of us
who were on top of what we supposed
were small bushes month ago are now
descending one by one the branches of
thrifty old fir trees, and the branches
around which we tie the cords of our
tents are getting more like unto the
hefty saw-log. The festive lot owner
will also have cause to mourn, as some
of his lots are in the numerous lakes
that abound in the park, just below us.
Seventeen hundred of these lots are
owned in Denver. From this it will be
seen that all the suckers are not dead,
neither do they come wholly from the
East in guise of pilgrims.-N Y. Sum-

But I've known of such mild manners hiding
Duplicity fightful to see.
And horse trades horse trade. Each party
Is always supposed to intend
To be crooked. I therefore was hearty
In trying to keep up my end.
And he lied like the mischief, knew it,
About his brown Eve year mare;
Why, wondered, sir, how he could do it
With such frank, innocent air!
For my own part make no pretension
That all told him was true;
What is more, neglected to mention
Some outs tina: my horse had that knew.
But horse trades horse trade, remember!
The day is supposed to he cold
As the coolest we get in December
For him who turns out to be sold.
Well, we traded, and would YOU believe me,
I've found out by driving that mare
That the youth didn't try to deceive me
But told the thing honest and square.

Various Divorce Laws.

There is a great variety in the divorce
laws Of the country. In Maine it is said
to be easier to get divorce than to get a
drink. The law reads: divorces NAV
be decreed when the judge deems it reason
able and proper, conducive to domestic
harmony, and consistent with the welfare
of society,"" In North Carolina the law is
"any .ust cause at the discretion of the
Judge" may dissolve the marriage tie. In
Virginia if woman is discovered after
marriage to have borne bad character be-
fore marriage, without the knowledge of
the man who married her, he may be d.
vorced. In West Virginia the shoe goes
upon the other foot and if a woman discov-
ers that her husband was a genuine rake
before marriage she may unmarry. In
Connecticut the law provides that "suclI
mischief or misbehavior as permanently
destroys happiness and defeats the purpo-
SEES of marriage" shall constitute legal
ground for divorce. In Alabama adultery
or immortality committed before the mar
riage as we'll as after dissolves the marriage
tie. In Delaware adultery itself is not in
all cases counted sufficient cause for d.
vorce. In Nevada failure to provide the
necessaries of life is sufficient grounds.
Kentucky is said to permit divorce for one
Of larger number Of causes than any
Of the other States.-W Washington Letter.
