BE Careful OF Hour Digestion.

Excessive heat causes gastric and in
testinat diseases, and especially peculiar
disorder known as heat fever or sun,
stroke. To lessen the liability to the first
group mentioned some attention to the
food taken into the system is necessary
and il IS especially requisite to avoid veg
etables or fruits that are not fully ripe.
There is scarcely vegetable grown in
our climate and which is used as food
which is not wholesome if eaten in sea-
son. not in semi deoomposed state, and
properly prepared for the table. A Like
statement is applicable to fruits, from the
strawberry, which is the first to appear,
TO peaches, pears and apples, which come
later in the season. But when they ara

The Results Of Regularity.

The fact that millions of people in
Christendom believe in regular habits Is
not good or conclusive evidence of the
correctness of the assumption 1t will
be observed. that all persons who turn
their stomachs into clocks or time pieces,
and eat on time to the minute, generally
become gourmands, big stomached, eat
twice as much as they need and die early.
Any person who will eat three meals per
diem By the clock, or take three drinks
of ardent spirits regular every day at a
certain hour, or take dose of opium
morning, noon and night on time, they
viii soon get so that they will demand
double meals, double tue quantity Of
liquor and, it may be, five times the
amount of opium. Every practitioner
knows this to be true. Well, you ask
what is the renedy-where is your sub

moderately when you become hungry.

is no reason Why the digestive apparatus

..oms Of the AIbaniana

Among the Albanians exist bitter feuds
that have been handed down from gener-
alton to generation, and when men meet
of those two families there is bound to be a
fight that will last until one or the other
is dead or disabled, and these feuds often
have their rise in the q,iaTrels of little
children, or women over the water foun-
tain. They have a code Of uuwritten
laws, which govern their intercourse
with each other when enemies. and they
never deviate under any provocation. IL
their worst enemy goes into tavern,
cabaret or cafe, and sits down beside an
other man, they regard him az under the
protection of that man. and In their eyes
it would be making him commit an I'M
pardonable breach Of hospitality to attack
one under his protection. Also, if they hap

called upon the most ancient Of his as
trologers and asked: Tell me, oh, sage,
what Is the golden globe in nv king
don's dome: and what the silver ball?
who suspends the little lamps? and why
leaks the roof at times"
And the sage answered: s'Oh. King.
the golden globe is the sun; the silver
ball the moon, and the lights you see the
stars; your kingdoms roof is the sky,
and the drops which fell therefrom are
rain; nor is it chimney smoke that OBJ
scures the day, but clouds"
Then said the king, although he IN
derstood it not: 'sWeli said, oh, sage. I
will depart from old beliefs and narrow
ways, and think for myself"
And all the knaves echoed his words:
calais! he proposes to think for himself )"
And they departed thence and wept.
But SO it was. Difficult at first, but
gradually the new way came to be tho
best way. OF course he fell into mis-
haps. Carefully conducted plans were
beset by amb,ished obstacles, and many
buoyane hope at dawn, sunk leaden at
dusk. Nevertheless he persevered, and,
as the persistence of majesty is Of neces-
sty accepted BY the obedience of the
subject bis purposes gradually ended IN
success.
His ooartiers suffered, tobe sure, dur
ing his ventures at thinking, but. at last
they were constrained to admit that a
thing was not necessarily bad because it
came in unusual guise, and presently
they took heart and acknowledged that
their sovereign could think. Better than
all, numbers Of his subjects, encouraged
by this new disposition of the king,
brought into tho royal presence inge-
NOUS contriraaces which they had
hitherto hid away for fear of<ridicule or
persecution. And soon the whir Of
labor saving machinery madesmusicala all
the land, and over shining highways of
steel darted the vehicles of traffic and
trade, while wonderful wire girdled
the kingdom with transmissiors Of STIR
ring thought. The granaries were al
ways stored; the treasury Of the king
was always full and the purse of the
subject large with golden plethora.

oRovER,s LATEST BULL.

Grover Cleveland is riding a high
horse again, and showing how sadly he
lacks those elements Of character and
statesmanship which o man aspiring to
be President of the United States should
possess. Together with his Secretary of
State he has presented TO the Senate an
alleged fisheries treaty, which is in real
ity q cringipg abandonment of American
rights and self-respect to Great Britain.
Because the Republican Senate does not
propose to ratify this treaty and thus as
sist in the humiliation which Cleveland
and Bayard propose to accept for the
United States, the President has resort
ed to his old and well adapted to him
method of bullying. He threatens that
if the Senate repudiates the treaty he
win take advantage of the powers vested
in him by Congress and go into the re-
taEatory business in such vigorous way
as TO kick up greater row with Eng
land, and then If war results the Re-
publican Senate win be responsible be-
cause it would not submit to the indigni-
ties which the English dictated treaty

THE SPECIAL SESSION.
How the Rival Parties are Likely to
Find Themselves.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. SIN re-
cordance with the usual custom the SEN
ate will be convened In special session
early next March, Immediately follow
ing the expiration of the present con-
gress. No matter how the presidential
election may result, this special session
will be necessary. Should Preside mt
Cleveland be reelected his cabinet
must be re-appointed, and should Gen.
Harrison win the senate will be called
together to assist him in organizing his
administration. The next senate will
be nearly equally divided politically.
The terms of 26 senators-13 Democrats
and IL Republicans-wille expire on the
Sd of next March. OF the outgoing
Democrats, II are from Southern states,
from Delaware, state as reliably
Democratic as any IN the South, and
from New Jersey. The latter is the
only state that can be considered doubt
full among those that must choose sue
cessors to Democrats. Already the
Democrats have gained one senator
from the Republicans. They have
chosen Mr.. Barber to succeed Mr.. Rid
dleberger from Virginia. .-.f.
Therefore, unless some unexpected
political revolution should occur within
the South between now and November,
the Democrats are sure to hold their
own in the next senate. IF they retain
New Jersey, they will divide the senate
equally with the Republicans, assuming
that the latter suffer no further losses ;
and the political status of the states TO
choose successors to outgoing Republic
cans makes it quite certain that they
will remain faithful to party affiliations.
If New Jersey elects Democratic legis-
lature, the political control of the next
senate will probably depend upon the
casting vote of the vice president t,f the
United States. -.#a
OF the Democratic senators VIII 'ose
terms are now drawing to a cl, ,sse
Messrs. Beck, of Kentucky; Gibson, OF
Louisiana, and Walthall, of Mississippi [,
have been reelected, and the indica-'
tons are that Berry. Salisbury, Morgan,
Colquitt, Ransom, Butler, Harris, Coke
and Kenna will be their own successors.
Brown. Wilson, Plumb, Hoar, Mander-
son and Chandler, of the Republicans,
will also undoubtedly be sent back.
Palmer will not have the honor again,
and Sabin and Dolph will if they can
make a winning fight. Chace, the Rhode
Island Quaker, has already been re-
elected. Senator Riddleberger, of Vir-
ginia, ends his senatorial term on the Sd
of next March, and it is understood that
he contemplates running for the lower
house from his district.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, Oak, Aug
8.-The commissioners have decided to
remain here for the present The In
dams have gone quietly to their homes,
as advised by the commissioners. When
free from the restraint of their leaders
they will think more seriously and favor
ably on the propositions submitted to
them by the government Evidences
of this already appear. Those
favoring the proposition are beginning
to come in singly and sign to accept the
act. The commissioners have now con-
elusive evidence that the refusal of the
Indians to sign the agreement when
massed together in council was owing to a
preconcerted scheme of intimidation inau-
gurated and carried out by Sitting Bull,
Gall and others, who have been at war
with the United States since the treaty
ofI1668. Sitting Bull, as the leader of
the party, disavows having ever ceded
any land to the United States. The In
dams are quiet and orderly and no bad
feeling is manifested and none is sus-
