81 am a cautious man." said Mr.. Slow
boy, ''and rarely place myself in danger
with takeng great precautions" and he
lifted out of his wagon n dry goods box
and brass kettle. 81 came out here to
see "A match three weeks ago." the old
man explained, land during the game a
red-hot ball right from the bat struck me
like a c%annon-shot between the eyes, bent
my spectacles double, broke both glasses,
dissarranged my ideas, INSTRUCTED my
view of the game and knocked me down.
Then the catcher and short-stop raj to-
gether and stood on me and jumped up
to catch the ball, and when they came
down they both kicked me for getting in
the way and making them miss that foul.
And now | have brought along this dry
goods box to sit in and this brass kettle
to- wear on my head"
And placidly, safely, but a little warm
withal, he saw the game through.

How to Keep Cool.
N. Y. Journal.

Said a physician yesterday, who looked
cool in spite Of the thermometer:
at is supposed by most persons that
if they battle in cold water, drink iced
lemonade, ginger ale, ice water, etc,
sleep with a thin coverlet over them, eat
cold dinners and rub their faces with
their pocket handkerchiefs every few mo-
ments that they will be cool, or, at least
as comfortable as the weather will per-
nit. Now this is all wrong. A cold
drink makes one feel exceedingly com
Portable for a few moments, and then the
individual will feel warmer than ever and
perspire more p~rofusely.

lows; Do not drink any ice water; take
only ono glass of soda or lemonade u day;
eat n warm dinner, hut do not eat quite
us much as you want; take hot coffee or
tea for breakfast, just Ns you do in win
ter; sleep with a very light gauze blanket
over you in the night, and take n sponge
bath in tepid salt water before retiring.
This makes the body cool, and keeps
mosquitoes away. Do not wear u heavy
hat or tight collar; wear light %tlannels,
low cut shoes, carry an umbrella, and n.
bovc all, do not rub your face too often,
because the action only heats the skin in
n greater degree and makes you perspirc
more freely.
If this advice is strictly followed you
will be cooler and healthier.

is ever open to give to any worthy object,
and especially to the struggling OF her own
sex or to any efforts of theirs. Many a time
she has contributed to the expenses of wo-
man suffrage conventions, to benevolent So

Medical College. Recently, while at Sara
toga, which was her early home and where
she owns large property, she threw open her
beautiful grounds to entertain five hundred

President Robinson of Brown University
believes that the most radical defect in our
American colleges is want of due atten-
ton to rhetorical studies, in which he in
clades not only practice in the arts of COM
position and speech, the patient acquisition
Of power to think justly and express ones
thoughts accurately, but also the acquisition
of that correctness of literary taste, that
knowledge of English literature and that ap-
probation of its riches without which facil-
ity and skill in the use of our tongue are
never attainable. The number of men an
very creditable attachments as to both ex-
tent and accuracy of knowledge, bat show
ing lsmentable incapacity for systematic
thinking, and for clear, forcible and correct,
not 10 say elegant. expression of their
thoughts, President Robinson says is one of
the standing reproaches to our American ed
ucation. The only remedy appears to be in
d more thorough and continuous training in
those studies which are known as rhetorical,
and which consist in an incessant critical
study and practice of the English tongue,
President Robinson thinks our colleges do
not need to give less attention to the an
cient classics, but more attention to the cas-
sizes of our own tongue. President Robin
son also thinks, as do most other college
presidents, that intercollegiate games are
taking up too much of the time of the stu
dent and some restrictive measures are
needed.

The Baltimore American cannot see any
good reason why the Republicans should
not carry Maryland this time. They have
clear majority in the State outside of Balti-
more, and the internecine quarrel among
the Democratic leaders Is sure to cut down
the adverse majority in the city. Besides
there are new agencies at work in Maryland
politics-the civil service reform association
and the State temperance alliance, for IN
stance. "The splendid effect which Re-
publican victory in Maryland would have"
remarks the American, ''can hardly be over
rated. To change Southern State, Demo-
cratic for sixteen years, into Republican
State, and send Republican to the United
States Senate to succeed Groome, would
send the thrill of victory through the coun-
try. This is easily within our power"

From the Boston Medical Journal, dug. IL
aProfessor II. Demme has made some observa-
tiops on the increase and decrease of the red cor
puscles Of the blood in twenty of measles. and
the relation between the red and white corpuscles
He found that occasionally In the begiuning OF the
fever stage there a slight increase of the red
corpuscles, while on the development of the erup-
tioI there was decrease which lasted for twelve
forty-eght hours after the fever, 80 that the red
corpusclss sank to half the normal number. After
eight or ten days the number gradually increased
with frequent variations. The spectroscope showed
in the beginning an increase and after the appear
apce of the eruption decrease of the hamoglobne.
The decrease of the red blood corpuscles occurred
also In a case Of measles where there intense
efloreecence, but fever. An absolute increase of
the white blood corpuscles found in the course
of the disease during the fever stage, and usually
before Its decline"
