MONDAY BREAKFAS,

To-day is busy telling what
He might have won out, If.
MONDAY BREAKFAST.
This hot weather has a tendency to
make people careless in certain ways.
For instance, yesterday afternoon, in
many hotels and buildings rented out
as living rooms, some startling scenes
were observed through open doors and
transoms. Men and women partially or
entirely disrobed were lying on beds
sIumbering gently. Many of them had
kicked off the sheet which was their
only covering, and lay exposed to the
fazef of rude humanity, blisstully ig-
nGfant of the eyes that observed the
charms or deficiencies of their figures.
One Young gentleman was sitting in
the upper story of one of the most fash
ionable flats with his window open,
clothed simply in a gOsSamer undershirt.
A fellow who lived on the opposite side
of the street called policeman up to
his room, and pointed out the man in
dishabile. The cop proceeded up TO
the room, and was going to arrest him
for indecent exposure, but fine cigar
propitiated him. People cannot be too
careful in this warm weather.
What to drink this weather in order
to cool off is the question that agitateS
the minds of most men just about now.
Beer seems to find general favor, but
is not good thing to drink. While it
is refreshing to drink, it has very de-
cided heating tendency and should
be avoided. Anything mixed with
settler water is good, but per-
haps the mosst satisfactory drink
S,, ho &c
settler. There is a slight acidity about
this that has a most cooling effect.
Claret cup. if we'll made, is very good;
so is lemonade, to which little whisky
can be added with impunity. A John
Collins is drink not often called for
in the West, but will be found splen-
did refresher, especially in the early
part of the day. As drink with meals,
buttermilk or iced tea find much favor
and are to be highly recommended.
Yesterday afternoon the river was
dotted all over with rOwboats. Most of
the occupants simply put enough exer-
else into their rowing TO keep the boat
going, but one set of four in a shell
looked as if they were training for a
race. They rowed as if their very life
depended on their getting to a given
point in the shortest time. 1t made the
Precipitation trickle down ones back to
look at them. If they wanted to re-
duce flesh they went the right way
about it.
Stimulants to the appetite are a neces-
Sity to many in this weather. Whether
they are good things to take or not is a
moot question. but does not affect the
peint that many constitutions find them
!. dneceSSitY. In India currIes are used
for this purpose, but cannot be here to
any extent, as not one cook in twenty
thousand knows how to make them.
Cooks here in the West are all afraid
of putting too much curry powder
and cayenne pepper into the dish.
This is absurd, as any connoisseur will
maintain. The very beauty Of curry
is its heat. The hotter it is made the
more it suits the epicurean palate, and
those who do not want it hot should
never order it, as they do not know
what curry is, and by ordering it
simply get the cooks into the ridiculous
habit OF making it mild.
Talking about eating-how many peo-
pie know what they are eating half the
time? A man pours Worcestershire
sauce on his chop or steak, entirely ig-
norant of what it is. The fact is that
the principal Ingredient in Worcester
shire sauce is asaf9tida. There is
nice drug for delicate stomach! But
it tastes good, just the same. when
amiXed up with other things, and few
people care to know what they are eat
,Fing SO long as it tastes good
That is reminder of an incident that
happened in the house of Frank Buck
land, the celebrated naturalist, when he
was surgeon of the First Life Guards in
England. He served a most delicious
dish at dinner party one night. 1t
had greenish appearance and puzzled
the brains of all present to know what
it was. They all piled the host with
questions, but could get no answer I'M
til half an hour after dinner, when he
quietly told them it was crocodile! All
but two or three were compelled to re-
tire instantly and vomit. He allowed
them all to think it was crocodile till
the following day, when he let them all
know it was nothing but turtle.
NINETY-THR Rec In THE SHADE.
1t was warm enough yesterday to
melt even Col. Tom Lowry's cool nerve.
A guest at the Ryan remarked that
he was able to understand why st.
Paul had abandoned the ice palace this
year.
Precisely $50 small boys played ball
Yesterday, and never felt the heat,
while the man who walked rapidly
because he was late for church had
Sunstroke.
An uptown real estate agent said this
was bad weather for business, as the
ice was so badly worn OH the little lakes
that he was afraid purchasers would
detect the difference between land lots
and flake lots"
The churches were not well attended
yesterday, and it was too bad. for if
ever there was a time when the tortureS
Of Gqhehna could have been depicted
WITH telling effect. yesterday was that
/. time.
\ The saloons were not all closed yes
Nerday, because man came into the
l. said he ordered cObbler in one, and
the bedamonded beauty behind the bar
gave him drink that tasted like hard
boiled ice.
For the first time this year. the name
less bugs that haunt newspaper offices
at night did not complain because the
globes that surround the electric lights
in this Office do not permit them to
warm their feelers at the blaze.
Jennie and Her Jag.
Jennie Webb, a rather preposseSsing
Soung woman, claiming to be the wife
of Third street saloonkeeper, was ar
rested last night by Policeman Rose
for being drunk and creating a
disturbance in the alleged hus-
bands place of business. Ac-
cording to her story she was recently
deserted by the man, after having lived
with him six years, and now finds that
another woman has succeeded her in
his affections. Last night she took
aboard comfortable jag of intoXicants
and proceeded to the saloon to jar the
memory of her recreant spouse to rec
objection OF his VOWS to her, She had
but half succeeded, and things were
