Advice for Hot Weather.

It is likewise certain that fatigues can
be far better borne if the body is not
encountered with surplus Of calorlfic
clothes. A pair of linen trousers, a fla n
mel hunting-shirt and loose necktie
make the most hygienic summer dress.
In tie afternoon remove the necktie
and roll up the shirt-sleeves: it can do
no harm to imbibe fresh air by all avail
able means, and ret the cutaneous lungs
share in the luxury. Nor is there any
excuse for the widespread fallacy that
it is dangerous, even in the most swelter
ing nights, to remove the bed-blankets.
Kick them into the farthest corner II
they become too warm, and sleep IN
your shirt and drawers, or under linen
bed-sheet. Halfnaked lazzaroni sleep
the wear round on the stone terrace of
the Museo Borbonico and outlive the
asthamatic burghers in their sweat-box
dormitorles. The body effects part of
its breathing through the pores. Paint
ing man with yellow Ochre and copal-
varnish would kill him as surely as hang
ing him by the neck. The confined air
between the skin of the body and stra-
tum of heavy blankets gets gradually
surcharged with carbonic acid-in warm
weather even TO the verge of the satur-
alton point. The perspiration is thus
forced back upon the body; and the
lungs-perhaps already weakened by
disease-have to do double work.-[Dr.

AS with each stroke the heart projects
something like six ounces of blood into
the conduits of the system, and as it
does so some 20 times every minute and
1920 times in hour, this il lplies that it

be pressed onward through the branch

the lowest estimate that has been made,
this gives an exertion of force that
would be adequate, in another form of

every twenty-four hours. Yet the piece
of living mechanism that is called upon
to do this, and do it without pause for
threescore years and ten without seeing
itself worn out by the effort, is small

at any time stopped for repair. If it gets
out of order, it must be set right as it

would be to change life into death. The

History of the Steel Square.

Pliny says that Theodorus, Greek Of

but the square figure is seen in the re-
presented designs of the Tower of Babel.

structures. The city of Babylon was a
perfect square, and the bricks used in
It's buildings and walls were square; so
probable were those in Babel. Now
to form small squares correctly, and to
introduce them IN endless combination
into buildings, it needed guiding in
strument of some kind. So the square,
as constructive tool; came into use.
Among the ruins of Babylon, Nineveh,
and Petra, it is said to have been found
represented. There are pictures and
sculptures from the ruins of Thebes in
Egypt, showing the square in the hands
of the artisan.
Evidences of its use are also seen in
ruins in India, which are bought by
some to antedate those found in Egypt.
Among the rlrins of the Aztecs, or peo-
pie be fore them, in Peru and Brazil, it
has also been found; and though tools of
stone and flint, such as axes, hatchets,
hammers, ETC., were doubtless the first
used by primitive men in these ruins
that date Jack beyond history, the square
is found, and specimens may be seen in
the British Museum.
The square was regarded by the an
clients as symbol OF completeness.

SUVAROFF.
Eccentricities ola Famous Russian
General.


His features were firm, but harsh Of
expression. Although 80 short, he was
manly and military OF bearing, priding
himself upon his soldierly appearance
and department. In conduct he was
odd, and even uncouth and brusque, to
eccentricity. He allowed himself no
seli-indulgence or luxury of living, his
daily habit being to rise at daybreak and
rouse his camp by Growing like cock at
the entrance of his tent. If he failed to
awaken before sunrise, an orderly had
directions to throw a pail of water over
him in his bed as a deserved punish
ment for laziness and lesson thereafter

about the duties of the day. At table, if
he lingred longer than ten minutes, q
soldier was to come in, and, saluting the
general, say, at is time to stop eating
and drinking" BY whose ordersg' was
the generals wonted inquiry. "By that
of Marshal Suvarof," was the reply.
"Then," the General would say, rising,
che must be obeyed." That his oddities
had some express end IN view, even II
concealed at the moment, is seen from
ish campaign, finding himself with very
small body of troops face to face with a
strong force ofthe enemy, he discovered
a spy among his suite, and, with his u.s.
ual Quickness of resources, ms
family resolved to make use of him to
extricate his command from the
perilOus situation. He straight
way issued an order of the day to the
effect that at the first cock-crowing he
should march to the attack. The spy at
once went over to the other side with
the information. The same afternoon,
however, Suvarotf started up and ran
through his camp growing Justify, where's
at his troops sprang Immediately to arms
and rushed against the enemy. The
Poles were taken by surprise, not ex-
pecting an assault before next day, and
underwent complete defeat. The story
goes on to say that the spy was made
prisoner and brought to the Generals
nresen,e for an order for his shooting,
but that on the contrary ,Suvarof directed
him to set at liberty, with thanks for his
involuntary contribution to the good
fortune of the enterprise. In the art of
hoodwinking an adversary Suvarotf had
no superior. The general enjoyed
excellent health in the field, the reward
of temperance, regular exercise and
hardihood of habit. His life was simple.
He rose at dawn; buckets of cold water
were thrown over his body, and he
dressed himself. At eight Or nine in the
evening he dined at the same fare as his
army-coarse or sour bread, broth or
Cruel of oatmeal or barley, slices of salt
meat and scrap of cheese. His ordi-
nary drink WAS beer made from fer
mented wheat Called by the Russians

meals. As soon as he had dined, he
slept two or three hours in his chair,
then woke to work, and only lay
down for couple hours before morn
ing. He usually performed his devo-
tons after each meal and at night when
going to bed, before an image of st.
Nicholas, Russia's patron saint. Often
he preferred the floor to camp COT,

The Story of Romantic Mar
riage and a Brief but Happy
Married Life.

Not quite three years ago the story of
the romantic marriage of Harry c. New =,
son of Assistant Secretary New, and
Miss Kathleen V. Milligan, of Chicago,
went the rounds of the western press.
The young couple met at Green Lake, a
Wisconsin watering place, and fell in
love, fact they were not long in finding
out. They became engaged, and there
was no reason why the course of true
love shoul not have run smoothly to
the end. The young man was moderate
ly rich in his own right and the prospect
i've heir of a large fortune. Miss Milf
gan was the only daughter of a wealthy
merchant of Chicago. She was as beau
tiful and amiable as she was lovely. The
match was in every way desirable.
One evening they rode over to Ripon,
a neighboring village, and on a
banter by another couple who accom-
panied them they were married, The
event was kept secret, and the two
families went on to prepare for grand
wedding during the fall. One morning
a Chicago paper published full account
of the Ripon marriage, and Harry and
his bride came out of ambush. The
grand wedding was postponed, and the
affair constituted a social sensation.
The young couple settled down quietly
to live in Indian apolis with the prospect
of long like of happiness before them.
A beautiful child was born to them. It
sickened and, after lingering for months,
died last fall. A year ago or more Mrs.
New contracted a severe cold, which
developed into consumption. Everything
that skill and tenderness could suggest
was done to save her. but in vain. and
last evening te 'egram was received in
this city from Harry, announcing her
death at the house of her father in Chi
cago. A sadder ending of a union that
gave promise of exceptional happiness
cannot well be imagined. The romance
was cut short with grim vindictiveness
before it wa well into the first chapter.
Harry New is well and favorably known
among the newspaper men of the west
as he is one of the owners and editors
of theIndianapolis Journal, and he will

were rather more than thirty-seven
when they died, but they died at an age

For it has seldom happened that poet

so in "Festus," and Alexander Smith

thoroughly drained their intellects in
one or two efforts. No length of life
would have enabled any of them to add
greatly TO their fame, though they might
have lived on, tanning the embers of
their early reputation. Spontaneity,
energy, native force, were wanting in
them more almost than any English
poet above mediocrity. So, likewise,

A story is told of popular English
comedian finding himself one day UNI
brelIas and cabless in furious rain
storm in London. He accosted a way

with cordial "Why, how do you do2"
as he slipped under the caves of the

continued, hooking his arm into his
neighbor's. 81 wanted TO tell you how
Miss-of the Gaiety raves about you,"
and so he ratified on until he reached
the hotel, whittier he was bound, when
looking his benefactor in the face he ex-
claimed: why, by Jove, what have l
done? l thought you were---! A
thousand pardons." He told the story
amid much laughter in the hotel, and at
its conclusion q critical friend remarked
that the comedian scarf was in some
disorder. The fact that valuab bic dia-
mond and pearl pin was missing became
painfully associated in his mind with
that man with the umbrella, though how
the thing was done, if it had been done
by him, he could not say.
