KEEP COOL.

With the thermometer blazing away
up in the nineties, the philosophy of
keeping cool becomes an important
study. 1t is not always possible to be
comfortably cool, but it is generally
possible to keep comparatively comfOr-
table in or out of doors, and to avoid all
serious results from excessive heat.
There is not one case of sunstroke in
twenty, nor one case of sudden or even
gradual prostratiOn from heat in forty,
that could not be prevented by little
common sense care. Sun stroke and
prostration from heat never come with,
out admonition. The man whose head
swims when the morning sun strikes it,
or whose stomach is sensitive when his
blood is heated, has danger signals
which only the ioolhardy disregard.
People must eat and drink In hot
weather, but the less heat they multi
ply in their stomac ms, the less they win
suffer from exposure to hot spells. The
less of meats people use the better theJ
will be as rule, and the drinks they
most incline to seek, are just the worst
they could find. Ice water is very re-
freshing, but gulping it down glass
after glass is simply the grossest abuse
of the digestive organs. Cool beers
and juleps and smashes are very invit-
ing in hot weather, but the way to keep
cool and escape serious results from ex-
eessive heat, is to postpone drinking
them until the fall.
workingmen exposed to the sun, and
especially those employed on build
ipgs, should always protect their heads
from the direct rays of the summer
sun. A moist handkerchief inside of
the hat, will do it, and the remedy is so
simple and cheap, that sll can employ
il. People unused to exposure to the
sun, should carry umbrellas and
always use them in hot weather. Child
rem should have clean, cool clothing,
plain, wholesome diet, and little or no
ice water.
1t is impossible for everybody to keep
cool such scorehlng time as the last

SENDING KISSES By TELEGRAPH.

There are some ways in which kiss
Is can be done to make it very pleasing,
says an old experienced editor. There
are other ways in which it is merely
commonplace, and still other ways in
in which it is absolutely and horribly
dry. Few people really know how to
kiss. Those who do, however, are not
ordinary human beings, and they M
questionably have right to be proud
of their accomplishments and the re-
wards which they bring are deserved.
Itsis greatly to be feared the young
King and Queen of spain have never
really learned the art of kissing. If
they had they never would have re-
lapsed into the dry method of trans
hitting kisses by telegraph wire. That
is not the kind of electricity by which
kisses should be transmitted. IT would
never be resorted to by those who had
once known what the real article Of
kiss was like. All the way on
her journey from Madrid to Vienna
wherever there was a telegraph station
the young queen left kiss to be sent
the king, and he as often replied with
Geographic kisses. This is too cheap
and dry for anything.
The American girl who swings on the
front gate these pleasant summer nights
will smile sarcastically at such stupid
affairs a. kisses by wire. She knows Of
kisses worth millions of the royal kind.
She wouldn't care for even the kisses OF
king if they had to come by telegraph,
and the American girl in her highest
development is an admirable judge Of
kisses. II is popular thing to initiate
the ways of royalty, but in this instance
the girls anC boys of this country will
have TO be excused. Kisses by tele-
graph cannot be popularized even by

The President, Cabinet, and probably the
whole business at Washington will be at

Cabinet never do anything worse than Wis.,

few days, but they Tshould keep as cool
as they can, and if they will be simply
governed by a few plain, common
sense rules, they will be surprised to
learn how much hot weather they can
stand without serious injury or incon-
venience. Keep cool if you can't keep
cool, keep as cool as you can.

An Attraction for the Babies.

Speaking of babies, there is something
queer about the fact that they always
take to me. never see baby in car
but il begins to look at me in wonder
ing sort of way, as though it was trying
to make out where it had seen me be-
fore, and though the mother may blush
and turn the baby the other way, and
try to attract its attention elsewhere, it
will turn around and almost twist its
neck off to look at me. and il put out
my hands to ii the baby will crow and
want to leave its mother and come to
me. 1t often makes me blush and l

the bridge this morning. He confessed
fully. \ buggy was driven from under
him, allowing him to fall. Five hundred
persons were present. No secret was
made OF the intended hanging. and
general notice was given OF the eX-
act hour. II was first decided TO
burn him, ms was done in previous
case in the same vicinity some time ago,
but II being rccollected that the law pro-
vides that hanging is the penalty for rape,
il was finally determined to follow that
course. OF the three negroes concerned,
Lacey and Sullivan were captured by citi-
Zens. Sullivan is thought to be innocent,
and will probably be released. Douglass,
arrested by officers, Is still in jail, but may
be lynched tonight
