A German writer, dealing with certain
representations of great summer heat,
goes back for precedcnts. In 627, he says,
the springs were dried up, and men tainted
with the heat. In SO it was impossible to
work in the open fields In the year 093
the nuts on the trees were roasted" as II
in IA bakers oven. In 1000 the rivers in
Franco dried up, and the stencil from the
dead fish and other matter brought pes
thence into the land. The heat in the year
1914 dried up the rivers and the brooks in
Alsace- Lorraine. The Rhine was dried up
in the year 1882 In the year ll52 the heat
was so great that eggs could be cooked in
the sand.
In 1927 IL is recorded that many men and
animals came by their death through the
intense heat In the year 1903 the waters
of the Rhine and the Danube were par
italy dried up, and people passed over on
foot. The crops We're burned up in the
year, 1894, and in 1888 the Seine and the
Loire were as dry land. In 1856 q great
drought swept through Europe. In 1914
in France and even in Switzerland the
brooks md the bitches were dried up. Not
less hot were the years 1916, 1870 and 1901.
In the year l7i5 from the month of March
till October not II drop of rain fell; the tenn
pcrnture rose to 3S dogs. Reaumur and in
favored places the fruit trees blossomed a
second time. Extraordinarily hot were the
years l124, l146, 1856 and 1871. The sum
mer of 1915 was so hot (the thermometer
standing Mt 40 degs. Reaumur) that the

Washington was a Mason, the master OF

corner stone of the National Capitol at
Washington with Masonic ceremony. The

rs first president of the United States was
used ut the corner stone laying of tho
memorial arch in this city There is an in
teresting history concerning the preserva.
ton of this book. When the gathering
took place at which Washington was to be
sworn it was discovered that no Bible had
been provided. One of the marshals of the
day was Jacob Morton, n gallant officer Of
the revolution. He was Mason and mas.
ter of St John lodge, whose place of meet
ing was near by.
Every Masonic lodge is required by its
charter to have Bible within its walls,
and Marshal Morton ran around the corner,
found the janitor, secured the key to the
lodge room and brought the book to Chan
cellor Robert II. Livingston, who was
grand master of Masons of New York mt
that time, and who administered the oath
TO Washington. st. John lodge is still in
existence, and has preserved the Bible as
its greatest treasure. 1t lies open always

The Cause of Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when case of iull-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use Eilert's Elk
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-

Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

Democracy and National Banks.

Here is a statement Of facts SUBJ
mitted for the information of those
who are in search of the truth in the
matter. 1t is from the Arkansas
Gazette:
A correspondent to the Hope Ga
zette charges responsibility on the
democratic party for the existence Of
the Natlona. banks, and alludes to
the "National banks chartered or
renewed during Cleveland'S admin
istraton." The writer suppresses- =
doubtless, because he does not know
the fact thai the national bank
system is the product of republican
legislation; that no acts or parts of
acts wero passed by democrats, aud
that President Cleveland could not
prevent the chartering of National
banks or the renewal of charter on
compliance with the terms of the
law by the parties interested.
At no time since the late war have
the democrats in congress been in a
position to repeal or modify the nat
ional banking laws, for at no time
have they been in possession of both
the executive and Legislative depart
ments of the Government.
The writer in the Hope Gazette =
which, by the way, effectively dis
poses of his points opposing the
democracy. This means in Arkan-
,as favvring the republican party, as
every vote lost to democracy Is re-
publican gain. In order to make
his point good he charges the dem"
ocrats with acts every intelligent
man knows they never performed
aud all for the benit and relief of
the republican party, which originat-
ed and passed every measure dlrec-
tly and indirectly connected with
the national banking system as 1t ex.
