Mrs Russell, the wife of the eminent Del
sartean, Edmund Russell, has written
book on the ''yawn." She contends that the
yawn should be cultivated as one of the
principaI pleasures and relaxations of life,
and that we do not yawn enough. Probably
the very best remedy for an insufficiency OF
yawning is to read her book.

THE POLICY OF DEPoPULATION.

A very remarkable and yet what seems
to be the logical Tory view of Ireland, and
the relation of the Irish to their own land,
is expressed by recent article in the
London Spectator. That journal quotes
as a matter of importance-which it un-
doubtedly is-the latest census return
showing the remarkable decrease in the
population of Ireland during the last half
century as follows:

The Hottest.

On the other hand the hottest looking per-
son have seen since Saturday was a man
who patrolled the sidewalk in front of a
downtown clothing store. He was there to
persuade customers to step inside the store
The only one of the usual outermost gar
ments of man that he wore were trousers,
girt about with dingy white handkerchief
in lieu ofsuspenders His shirt sleeves were
rolled up, and every square inch of his cpl
dermis exposed shone with perspiration.
Now and again he swept wave of water
from his brow, and still did not stay the riy-
ulets that-fowed down both sides of his nose
He looked hotter than he was-though it is
hard to conceive of a comparative degree in
his caSe-because his complexion was very
sanguine, and the sun with the best of inten-
tions could not have made it much redder.
Then he was stout and had unusually large
hands, which he waved after the manner of
n stranded seal with its flippers. To look at
him. without regard to the heat, as he
walked up and down was to perspire SYM
pathetically. A better advertisement for
the seersuckers, pongeeS and other light
weight clothing in the store could not have
been planned. No heated pedestrian could
look from such monument of physical
overdoneness to the cool garments in the
store window without perceiving the logical
conclusion of the argument. Perhaps the
large man in process of evaporation or
liquidation stands there for that very pur-
pose.

Population.

This showing that nearly half of the
population of Ireland has been either
starved or driven out of the country since
1S41 is analyzed by the Tory journal with
out the slightest idea that it contains any
impeachment of the English rule. On the
contrary, it declares that ireland has i'm
mensely benefited by having shed half her
population since 1S41'' This remarkable
theory that country gains from its de-
population is based on the assertion that
mo rhetoric can get over the fact that
Ireland cannot support eight million
people"
This summary settlement of the ques-
ton by dogma is not at all interfered with
in the Tory mind by the fact that England,
with an area less than fifty per cent greater
than that of Ireland, supports popula-
ton at least four times as great as that
which is declared to be impossible. The
Spectator introduces saving clause to the
effect that chad Ireland developed manu-
factures, it might have been different"
but omits to notice that the English policy
for centuries has been that Ireland must
not develop manufactures.
That era has been remarkably capped
by the half-century's work, over which the
Spectator eXultS, in the management of the
land system so that half the Irish must be
driven from their land. The spectacle of
Tory journal approving that work is
unique, but not pleasant

The Coolest.

THE hot spell has been as hard upon one
sex as the other, but the average woman
doesn't look so wilted and woebegone as the
average man. In the course of my perambu-
lations since the thermometer has achieved
notoriety the coolest person have seen was
a young woman who illuminated q Pleasant
Valley electric car yesterday morning. As
the appearance of GOODNESS is becoming as
well as omfortable-qualities that do not
always go hand-in-hand in the dress of ador-
able woman-it may be profitable to sketch
as accurately as may be this particular cos
tune. She wore black lace dress, slightly
open at the neck; hat of the prevailing
skeleton fashion, q fragile feather-weight,
with a bunch or two of yellow and purple
flowers for color. This description does not
convey the air of GOODNESS that the light
tissue of somber lace, the airy headgear, and
the absence of gloves from a well-shaped,
slender hand combined to give, perhaps for
the reason that somehow or other the per-
sonality of n pretty woman-and especially
one whose eyes are brown and bright-gets
mixed up with her attire in the production
of an effect upon a masculine mind. But the
same impression seemed to be made on other
spectators in the dusty car, and one could
feel that everybody was wishing he could be
as cool rs she looked. l suppose the fem
mime version of this feeling would be de-
sire to stand the heat so gracefully.

Women's Christian Association, on Collins

evening. The occasion was supper given
by the young ladies, and after it was held an
informal reception. The beautiful lawn,
illuminated by Chinese lanterns, had erected
on it large tent, used for the sale of bon
bons and sweets of all description. Within
the building were booths, at which were sold
many pieces of exquisite fancy work, and
the rear porch was devoted to Il display and
