Since the heated term is on and sunstrokes
are common occurrence, there are many
peculiar and decidedly novel calls made upon
hotel clerks by the guests. The other even
ing a travelling salesman from Boston walked
up to the counter just before be retired, and
said: "Please send some cracked ice and hot
water up TO my ROOM" Several guests stand
ing near looked at him with Hmazement and
wonderment, thinking, no doubt, that it was
only a foolish whim Of an eccentric Yankee
from the Hub. But, in truth, the call was
evidence Of the Boston mans knowledge Of
how to prevent sickness during this torrid
weather. "A common cause Of cholera NOR
bus and like diseases in the summer is the ice
water that is drunk. This man wanted hot
water for the reason that all the germs are
destroyed BY the heating. Instead OF putting
the cracked ice in the water 10 placed it
around the vessel containing The water, and
thus had cold water to drink, without the
germs from the ice again making the water
impure. -Hotel Clerk in Globe-Democrat.

church government--that by bishops, episco-

division dates from the earliest ages Of the

1t Is not easy to trace the establishment Of

some twenty years in taking form; it had its
origin in a sort OF general missionary move

ognized as the great representative gathering

body, like the late Methodist quadrennial

once famous convention Of Canterbury; it is
merely an advisory body, and though the

would, yet there is no power in the council
