nothing TO be wished for in the dis
charge Of their respective duties.

sured IA great treat in advance, and
one which IL Is safe 10 say will be ap-
preCiatcd.

Garden
Frank lIazen, Bob Clark and Billy
Miller, three lads ranging in years
from eleven TO sixteen, were arrested
yesterday on "A charge of stealing
onions from the garden Of John
Thorndall, in the third addition, on
Monday night. The boys were ar
raigned before Justice Curry and
pleaded not guilty, and sufficient evil
dence was not forthcoming TO estab-
lish their guilt. Thorndall's garden
has suffered depletion several times
by unlawful hands and suspicion cen
tered on the boys named and he
caused their arrests A look of relief
was plainly visible on their faces when
they received their discharge, and the
lesson received may bear good fruit.

The Courtesy Due to Friends.

Making friends is easy to the girl who
is bright and happy, whose society gives
pleasure and who is genial. But keeping
them demands more than this, and SEN
sible writer has thus summed up the
other requirements, most of which are
mere matters Of good social form:
To keep friend don't get too intimate
with her. Have your own thoughts and
permit her to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her in the
way of confidence. And do not he too ag-
gressive, wanting to know why she hasn't
done this, and why she doesn't think as
you do.
If her style of dress is not beautiful,
don't tell her; it will only offend her, be-
cause deepin her heart she is convinced that
she knows a great deal more about it than
any one else.
Do not find fault with a friends friend,
and do not expect to be the only one given
a corner in her heart.
Be as considerable of her feelings as If
she were a stranger, and remember that
poIteness is an everyday garment, and
not one intended only for holidays. To
sum up in sentence, preserve the courtesy
OF the beginning to keep the friendship to
the end.

Among probable causes of sunstroke

mal-aeration, great physical exhaustion
with cardiac fatigue, and the consumptiou.
even in moderate amount, of alcoholic
liquors during hot weather The habitual
wearing of somewhat loose porous cloth
ing, by encouraging perSpiration and assist
ing the removal of its products, will also
contribute materially toward the reduction
of the general temperature. 1t is needfui
to keep In view the extreme sensitiveness
OF the cerebro spinal nerve centers, espe-
clally those of the medulla. The means bv
which protection can best be accomplished
call for a brief notice. Among these NAV
be mentioned the adoption of the familiar
white veil behind and over the head, the
interposition of a wet white linen cloth be-
tween head and hat and the effectual ven

FRIDAY, AUGUST z, 1891.

In recent interview ex-senator Fart
well, OF Illinois, who has no love for the
present chief magistrate, said: "Cleve-
land will get the nomination, without
doubt, unless Campbell carries Ohio
again, and he will certainly be elected if
Harrison is nominated. But Harrison
never will be renominsted. He is too
small, narrow and contemplate to be
chosen again. He has put men in office
all over the country who will have no
more influence in the convention than
Collector Clarke, of Chicago. has. His
appointments have made him enough enc
mics 10 kill his chances of lording it IN
the White house another term, Even
his own state is against him. The man
who will get the republican nomination
and be the next president is James G.
Blaine. Of course he is a candidate. HIS
silence is expected and necessary. His
health will not interfere. If Mckinley is
victorious it may change the situation,
but Blaine would prove the strongest
man"
1t will be remembered that the sem
atoIs dislike for Mr., Harrison dates from
the time the party spoils were being dis
tributed by the head of the administra-
ton. The political plums in this state
were doled out without regard for the
senators list of fsvorites or the tradi
tionsl "prerogstives' of the senators.
When be realized that the customary
senatorial courtesies" had not been OBJ
served. and the men he had recommended
for Office were quietly ignored the mil
lionaire senator first became indignant
and then uutriendly toward the president.
He then got on his ear and is still IL that

Surah silk Of thick quality and broadly
twilled IS now n great favor for bathing
suits. II is claimed hat it does not retain
as much water as the flannel suits, and
that it does not cling SO closely to the
figure. Blai k and navy blue are the colors
most used, though there are faDciful swim
ming suits Of white surah, light blue, pale
yellow, aud also of mauye trimmed wit h
white silk. The more modest dark suits
are made wi h yoke waist and drawers in
one, cut in continuous pieces or attached
to the same belt; separate skirt is then
buttoned OF this belt. The highnecked
waist has a turnover collar in sailor shape,
and a cravat of the silk TO be knotted by
the wearer. The drawers fall below the
knee and are quite wide, with rubber in
the hem to draw them into shape. Short
sleeves, reaching only to the elbows, are
most liked and are always used by swim
mers. The SKIRT is gathered evenly all
around and trimmed with many rows of
braid. White silk tape, like lacing strings,
Is set in borcer rows on some of the pretty
blue and black surah suits, and the bodice
has the collar rolled away low to show a
sailor shirt front of white silk
Niry stiff cheviots of coarse quality are
preferred to he flannes formerly used for
bathing dresses. They are made with the
princess garment combining waist and
knickerbockers, and short skirt is belt
ed on.
Jersey wool suits do not shrink and are
commended ut the best houses. The waist
and skirt are in one piece in these dresses,
and the skirt is made much fuller than
those former y seen. The drawers are close
fitting, like equestrian tights, and have
stockings woven with them.-Harper's
