WHAT IS THOUGHT OF BLAINE ABROAD.
"A well-known citizon of the United States
residing in South America writes as follows
to friend in Maryland, concerning the ef-
feet of Blaine's nomination among Ameri-
cans in foreign countries:
'9The day Blaine was nominated we heard
it here by cable and it has created the
greatest surprise, as every one, or rather
every foreign country, considers that he
disgraced the United States in the Chilian
affair, and could not believe that such
man would seriously be looked upon as a
candidate for the presidency.
Americans abroad never mention the
Chilian case without the deepest mortifica
tion, and even in Chill the Americans would
rather have had their business broken mp
by war on the subject than have suffered
the disgrace Blaine brought upon them.
''The corruption of politics in the United
States must be beyond all expression when
such a man is chosen for the Chief Magis-
trate."

Some Seas0nable D0n'ts.

Don't worry too much. A person who is
constantly fidgeting would work himself
into pe1spiration in refrigerator.
Don't walk too fast. If you think you
can get cool by pacing the streets at
breakneck speed take the shortest cut to
an insane asylum.
Don't blow off surplus breath in street
car as If you were a safety valve or steam
escape. The noise interferes with other
peoples comfort.
Don't be discontented. If you busy
yourself hunting for. a cool spot you'll
seldom find it. Sit down and take the
weather as it comes.
Don't grumble or growl or find fault. A
dog that barks the most dies the soonest
Don't talk too muth politics. Heated
discussions do not cool the atmosphere.
Don't frown when you can smile. Cheer
fulness produces comfort.
Don't carry off every palm leaf fan you
get hold of. The owner of the fan may be
a bigger man than you.
Don't wear heavy garments. If neces-
sary, pawn your winter overcoat and buy
an imitation seersucker. Also, be sure to
wear your clothes loose so that the air can
circulate.
Don't eat too much fat or heated food.

fast time. Cold boiled ham, tongue or
beef good bread and butter and good cold
milk make suitable summer lunch. Per-
fectly mature fruits, used raw, or fruit not
quite ripe, well cooked, are also recon-

Don't fill your rooms with too much fur
niture. Crowded apartments are always
warm. In Cuba, the summer houses are
cool because everything in them is selected
to that end. The walls are high and bare,
the furniture is scant and without padding
of any kind, and the portieres are swung
partly open, so as to allow free passage of
air.
Don't work by fits and starts The even

DANDRUFF ON THE SKIN.-The loose,
scaly matter ON the skin of a horse or other
animal indicates disordered state of the
skin. The skin is not only covering for an
animal but it is most important excretory
organ, and daily pours out much more foul
matter than the kidneys or bowels. If it
becomes inactive for any reason this matter
gathers on the surface and loosens in the
form Of scales. To remedy this bad con-
dition daily dose of half an ounce of sui
phur should be given in a bran mash; the
horse should be washed with soap and
water, with some ammonia in it, and then
rubbed by, and well brushed with, soft
brush twice day after,

on saw me safely up the hill,
(The day was almost spent)
And there you told ME you must go;
We parted. and you went.
But stood still and watched the woods
GLOW with the setting sun,
And gazed upon the little path
That you were winding down.
And there the spire amongst the trees
Still in the sunlight cleaned;
But I turned down the other side,
And, oh, how dark it seemed!
In dreams, how many times since then
I've parted from you so!
My heart dwells on the hilltop yet,
And gazes down below.

A LETTER OF EvAsIoN.-Nesc York, July
18.-The World says: The Republican
nominee for the presidency has nothing to
say except to extol the protective policy
which is not threatened, to justify heavy
taxation which is weighing down the bust
ness interests of the country, to vindicate
the accumulation of Treasury surplus
which is fruitful of corruption, to falsely
charge his opponents with principles their
platform repudiates, and to indulge in few
platitudes in no way connected with the
presidential contest. Mr.. Blaine's letter
might more properly be called a letter of
evasion than letter of acceptance. 1t
falsiies history on the tariff. 1t misrepre-
sents the Democracy on the tariff. 1t exag-
gerates the work of the Republicans. 1t
makes bid for southern votes and foreign
votes. 1t turns over the civil service. 1t
touches the Mormon question, the currency
the public lands, the shipping interests, and
the ballot, butts tongue is tied about the
one real, live issue of honest government
against dishonest government. A sun-stroke
has fallen upon it in reference to reform
1t ought to have been preceded by the
motto: ''Where coneealment is desirable
avoidance is advisable
