Drinking I'M Hot Weather.

We venture to hope that those who are
2ealously urging the policy of refusing
to qucnch their thirst in hot weather be-
cause drinking makes people more
thirsty will reconsider their policy
from the phys illogical stand d-point, and
they will re ognize that TO thirst and
drink, and perspire and drink again, are
the natural steps in a process by which
nature strives to maintain the integrity
of those organic changes which the ex-
temal heat has tendency TO impede.
The natural and true policy is to supply
an adequate quantity of fluid without
excess Therefore do not abstain from
drinking, but drink slowly, so as TO al.
low time for the voice of nature to cry
enough There is no drink so good
as pure water For the sake of flavor
and becalse the vegetable acids are use
ful. dash of lemon juice may be added
with advantage. The skin should be
kent fairly cool so that sufficient guam
tity Of the fluid taken up may pass off by
the kidney. -LaRoei.

THE BETTER DAY,

A better day All prophets speak
Is scoming, with their tongues of flame;
1t ever comes, it is it came.
But eyes are dim and hearts are weak.
Broad as the universal sky,
Deep as the center of its sphere,
Its glory flashes on the seer,
Its vital heat goes pulsing by.
Faith calls the lily from its tomb;
The coming day has come to them
Who see her garments golden hem
Shake star dust over midnght's gloom.
The lit lie soul may draw its fill,
And crow on Natures dandling knees,
The larger life, more hard to please.
Drains all her breast and hungers still.
In every hope, in every pain,
The promise breathos; our very night
Is but our shadow in the light,
We turn and all is clear again
The Coming Days eternal dawn
Whitels the shore lins of our east,
Unrisen still, bat still increased,
As through the unending spires we're draw

"The dwelling recently purchased
by President Cleveland on Georgetown
Heights has been remodeled, enlarged
and so improved that scarcely a vestige
of the former appearance of the'structure
is now visible" writes a Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald
"At least, the two-story stone residence
which Mr.. Cleveland bought has disap-
peared, and on the site stands as beauti-
full suburban villa as adorns any of the
summer resorts along tIe ocean banks of
New Jersey. There are few localities in
tbs rart of the country where the
stretch of landscape is as diversified as
it is at this elevation looking southwark
from the Presidents private residence.
Other executives have been owners of
real estate at the capitol, but President
Cleveland is the first to build a country
home for himself in the neighborhood Of
the White House"

Anumber of very curious Indian relics,
says the Chicago Times, have Just been
uncarthed in Wabash County, Indiana
They have been in possession of members
of the Miami tribe of Indians, to whom
alone their existence was known. Among
them is the cross worn by Frances Slo-
cum, the famous female captive, who,
with very few other whites, escaped
alive in the Wyoming massacre. The
cross is eleven and one-half inches long
and seven inches wide, and is of solid
silver. It has been in the Miami tribe
for more than a century. A medal pre-
Sc ted to the Wyandotte tribe by George
Washington and afterward presented by
the Wyandotte chieftain to William Pc
conda Miami has also been discover ed,
This medal also of silver, is oblong in
form, measuring seven by five inches.
On one side occurs the words; George
Washington, President, and a medallion
representing an Indian holding the pipe

On the reverse is the coat of arms of the
United States. An offer Of $500 has
been refused for this medal. Another
medal, circular III form and two and
one half inches in diameter, is also held
by Miami. A pipe and tomahawk,
with the words: "Pe1ce and Friendship.
A. Jackson, President, 1929" are shown
on one side, while two hands clasped
ornament the reverse. The relics are
regarded with great yeneration by the
indians and unfeigned curiosity by the
whites, and nothing can induce the red
men to part with their treasures.

"Hello And so, after capturing the
burglars, Mr.. Lawrence Stoddard has
been trying to capture my niece, hey"
said Uncle John, few months later,
with a mischievous look at his niece.
"Woll, Dolly, since 1 owe him something
for his exertlons on that occasion, 1
reckon I'll have to let him have you.
But it's on one condition mind. He
must go out of the detective business
altogether. It's too risky, and besides,
| don't want you left a young widow on
my hands"
OF course, the condition was accepted,
and shortly Dolly and her husband went
to housekeeping on snug farm ad join
ing Uncle Johns.
AS for the plucky and valiant Susan,
she married Rob, the hired hand, and
the contents of her cherished 'stockin'-
foot were soon, it is safe to suppose, ap-
piled to some more useful purpose than
to be hid away in the burey drawer >

A Modest Soldier.

A singular instance of soldierly mod
esty was brought to light recently in
Washington.
Almost everybody who has been famil-
lar with the capitol at any time during
the last six years must have noticed an
elderly man with one arm, who was door
keeper to one of the ladies' galleries of
the House of Representatives He was
notable for his courtesy and his infallible
punctuality at his humble post of duty
Few people in Washington knew any
thing about him except that he was a
faithful doorkeeper at 500 per month.
Those who saw his empty sleeve naturally
supposed that he had lost an arm on one
side or the other Of the civil war He
was a quiet, digniied old gentleman,
who came from his home to the capitol
and returned to his home again when his
work was done.
One day last June he did not appear
A pale woman came TO say that he was
very sick and could not be at the door for
a day or two. lie was never there again.
In a week he was dead from pneumonia
Then the reporters began to write long
sketches of the dead doorkeeper. 1t

A Strange Sect Of Italian Robbers

The capture of brigand near Boo
| chigliere, a hamlet situated in remote
part of the Calabrian highlands, has re-
vealed the existence in that region of
an extensive sect, remarkable alike
for the widness of its tenets and the
nefarious character of its practices It's
head is an ex-Sergeant, Gabriel Donnici,
who claims to be the Deity, and repre-
sents the Advent as still to come
During the last five years he has been
organizing this sect, which comprises
nearly ali the small farmers and shep-
herds of the district. His gospel seem.
to be sort of communism of the lower
type. The clandestine meetings of the
sect are alleged to be marked by orgies
and rites, recalling the worst features Of
Oriental paganism. Donnici's own sister
in law, for refusing to conform to these
practices, was shut up in cave and left
there to die. This nearly led to the
breaking up of the community, as Don
nic and his followers were arrested and
tried for murder; but, owing TO the inn
possibility of procuring witnesses against
them, they were acquitted.
The sect has now been brought into
fuller notice by the capture of Seratino
Bruno, one OF its leading members, or
saints, as they are styled. This worthy,
after numbering DOCTOR betook himself
last April 10 the woods, and with the
connivance of his co-religionists -four
ished there as highway robber. The
poll; having failed TO track him, Bruno
was arrested the other day by local
landowner, COant COnversano. His cap
ture occasioned great demonstrations of
grief at Bocchigliere, where hundreds o.
men and women hung about this precious
saint and kissed him rapturously. Lon

The Chinese Imperial Court has Or
dered the official astrologers. soothsayers
and prophets of that kingdom to inspect
the stars and fix upon a favorable day
for the Inauguration of the young EN-.
peror who is just about coming Of age.
This suggests a method of using the pro-
phetic profession of which We have not
yet seen the value in this country. In.
deed its most pertinent suggestion is that
perhaps the Chinese Court has not a full
supply of that species Of scientific lore,
aud that thus we have a chance to kill
two birds with one stone by sending to
that Empire our full stock at astrological
and meteorological prophets. If we can
at once restore cordial relations with
China by such an act, and get rid of the
weather fiends, we ought not to lose the
opportunity. Rather than that the Chi
nese Emperor should get inaugurated on

send him Ruthiel, Virgins, DeVoe and

ENGLAND'S POLITICAL sITUA-
TION.

Though the electoral battle has ended
in the defeat of Gladstone, it has be.
slowed no substantial victory on his op-
pouents, because the appeal to the peo.
pie has produced no party capable OF
forming a strong government certain to
last six months. What Chamberlain
will do is not so certain. He can scarcely
afford to go into the Tory camp without
deciding to part company, definitely,
with the leadership Of the Radical party,
which he still hopes to recover Much as
the Birmingham caucus chief is disliked,
his appearance in a coalition Cabinet
would render him absolutely hateful to
the large masses of Radical voters, who
still expect his return to the fold. As
he is a cunning, ambitious man, he is
not likely to wreck his prospects abso-
lutely to make SaIisbury's position Sc
cure. Chamberlain may content himself
with promising outside support to o Tory
or coalition government against the
Gladstonians and Parnellites, because,
after hatred for Gladstone, the strongest
tie between the so.called Unionists is the
fear of a new appeal to the country.

York Herald, under date of the 18th in.

that case there will probably be a wal

Irish party may think it better to have
the British Army fighting Cossacks than
coercing the Irish. There is a prob

against Russia. In that case, all would

point another danger menaces the Liberal
party. The Tories, if deserted by the
Unionists, may offer Home Rule as the
price of Irish support. Should a new
alliance be formed ON this basis, the
Tories and Irish would be strong enough
to rule the British Empire, certainly for
seven years, in spite eff the Liberal party.
This probable outcome of the situation,
however, is not likely to be immediately
realized"

OF Port Lazeroff. Russia has long had q

Since the cut in rates occurred on the
Atlantic cables business has more than
doubled. The different companies have
decided to continue the low rates for a
while longer. The transcontinental rail.
roads discovered last Spring that a reduc-
tion in fares gave more passengers than
they could accommodate. A reduction of
one.third in postage rates has been more
than made up by the increased number
of letters in the Postofice. There are
two ways of making money. One is by
selling . few articles at a large profit.
the other is by making many sales with
small profit on each. The latter method
is always the best. as the cable com
