TIPS FOR GOOD HEALTH.

Timely Advice as to What to Do in Warm
Weather How 1t Is Best to Behave
During Dog Days-Some Pertinent Cau-
tions.
This is the appropriate season to give ad-
vice respecting health. In the first place,
some well-approved cholera mixture should
be kept convenient, as the introduction Of
green apples and apple dumplings to unac-
customed stomachs is causing considerable
cholera morbus. Hot days and oold nights
are also assisting to disorganize stomachs.
As to diet, it is of small consequence. If
a man had the instinct of a dog and could
take mess of grass when he felt out of sorts
he would never need doctor, except in case
of accident. Eat what you like, if it agree
with your stomach. If you have good sense
and Judgment drink whisky, wine or beer
as a medicine, but II you cannot control
your appetite let all alone. If little weak
would viper in dog-days. Healthy people
do not need stimulants. Keep your head
cool, your feet warm and bowels open;
eat when you are hungry, but do
not gorge yourself for the mere
pleasure of taste and you will be likely to
have just as good health in dogdays as at
any other time. Some general directions,
however, sanctioned by the experience of
hoary antiquity may not be out of place
here:
In the first place do not let your boy go
swimming in dogdays, and as the season,
owing to some peculiarities in the process
sion of the equinoxes is somewhat uncer-
tain, he should be kept out of the water
from July Is until Novemb Der 15, and after
that time he is not likely to care much for
outdoor ablutions.
Second-Don't hoe early cabbage in dog
days 1t will cause them to become infested
with vermin.
Third-If bitten by dog between now
and October 1 be sure and have the dog
killed the first thing, this being more i'm
portant than the cauterization of the wound.
Finally, after observing all the rules you
ever heard of, make special effort to keep
your conscience clear and you will be meas
urably happy, provided you bear in mind
that virtue is its only reward, and do not
expect too much from an ungrateful Re-
public.

In This Country Will Next Be Made by the
Leading European Financiers.
lBY CABLE To THE pIsPAToH.l
LONDON, July 25,-The stock market to-
day was duh and lifeless, scarcely any busi-
ness doing, with only trifing changes In
quotations, but American railways were
generally weak There were no bullion
operations at the bank to-day. Portuguese
bonds are still offered for sale. Admiration
must be expressed for the mastery way in
which the New York silver market
is being worked in the interest of European
finances. Portugal requires between 7,O00,-
600 and S,00O,00O ounces of silver, and
the loan to provide for it has already been
contracted for. The silver is being pro-
cured and coined as rapidly as possible and
considerable ingenuity has been displayed
in doing this without advancing the price
of the metal. In the first place exports to
India have been stopped by holding the
London price at about one-half penny an
ounce above the price Of the Exchange so
that remitters to India have been forced to
buy consol drafts at per cent rupee paper
instead of silver.
All arrivals of silver have been quietly
picked up and this supply running out sill
yer must now be taken from America. In
doing this great care must be exercised and
the bankers will employ every device to
secure what is wanted without disturbing
the New York market. Exports will be
made if possible without disturbing the
stock in the Mercantile Safe Deposit Com
pany. Advantage will undoubtedly be
taken to embrace every opportunity to de-
press the price of silver certificates on the
New York Stock Exchange, in order to Sc
cure silver bullion at as low price as pos
sible.

LONDON, July 25.-Alexander, of Servia,
is being received just now by Russian grand
dukes and princes with ill-concealed con-
tempt as a full-fedged King. Yet, accord
ing to Servian official newspapers, he is
remarkably intelligent lad. Just before
starting Cd his Russian trip he was exam
ined in religion, geometry, algebra, physi-
ology, chemistry, the science of war, the
history of Servia, tactics, general history,
Latin, German, French and English. There
were present at the examination the three
Regents, the head of the Church, the Prime
Minister, the Ministers of War and Public
instruction, the President of the Council of
State and Governor of Belgrade, all of
whom have signed a declaration that the
young King passed in every subject with
brilliant success The royal prodigy will
be 10 years of age next month.
The still younger monarch Alfonso, of
Spain, aged 8, is said to be thriving wonder
fully under the system of education directly
opposed to that followed in the case of King
Alexander. Queen Regent Christiana be-
ieves in sound, wholesome food, and plenty
of outdoor exercise for boys, and holds that
her sons mind will be none the worse in a
couple of years time for having lain prao-
tically fallow for seven years. The German
Emperor's five boys are still enjoying them
selves at Felixstowe, and, among other
things, are being taught how to play foot
ball, a thing fearful to think of in hot sum-
mer weather. The German Empress plays
lawn tennis every afternoon with her ladies
in waiting, and the entire party are in
robust health.
On Thursday the 7-year-old Duke of
Albany, the Queens grandson, performed
his first public ceremony, dy distributing
prizes at suburban flower show. The Duke
is very plain looking little chap.
The interesting discovery has been made
that Kaiser Wilhelm has his ordinary civil
clothes made in London and that he never
tries them on. His military clothing, how
ever, is made in Berlin and the Emperor is
very careful as to their fit. The Kaiser has
been to the North Cape and has gazed upon
the midnight sun. He is now sailing among
the Norwegian Fjords. Prince Ferdinand,
Of Bulgaria, continues to grow fat, notwith-
standing that this week he has climbed sew

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
NEW YORK, July 25.-When Annie
Weymann, in the presence of the Rev. O.
G. +. Hass swore that she would be true
and loyal wife to Albrecht Bauer, she little
thought that when next he heard
her voice it would be to listen to
her renunciation of him forever. Bauer
and Miss Weymann had been friends
for two years. He lives with his mother at
2s2 East Tenth street. She lives with her
mother and brother, DR.. g. A. Weymann,
at 400 East Fifty-seventh street. He visited
her Wednesday, July %, and they went for
q walk. They went to the Rev. Mr.. Hass'
house at "a Seventh street, and were mar
ried. Then they returned to Mrs. Wey-
mann's house.
Mrs. Weymann was not pleased to learn of
the marriage and said so. She ordered
Bauer to leave the house and invited her
daughter to remain and talk the matter
over. When Bauer called later in the day
he was told that his wife had no desire to
see him. Believing that she was unjustly
restrained, Bauer instructed Lawyer A. P.
Wagner to begin habeas corpus proceed
ings A writ was obtained from Justice
Barrett, and all the parties were in the Su-
preme Court to-day.
In his petition for the writ Bauer de-
clared that Mrs. Weyman had told him he
Yves not good enough for her daughter, that
he was too poor to maintain a wife, and that
she had promised her daughters hand to a
richer and more eligible suitor. When
Bauer saw his wife with her mother and
brother approaching he started toward
them. The young woman retreated be-
hind her mother, and Lawyer Wagner
restrained his client while he went
to investigate. Without any prompt
ing Mrs Bauer said that she did not
know why she had married. She had not
intended doing so and would never live
with Bauer. Nothing could persuade her
to look upon him as her husband. The
lawyer reported to Bauer, and told him
there was no law that could compel wife
to live with her husband. Then he withdrew
the writ. Bauer, who was very excited,
insisting that he ask the. court
to make the young woman explain
her reasons. Justice Barrett said he
had neither authority nor inclination to put
any such question. The decision unnerved
Bauer completely. He said that Miss Wey-
mann suggested their getting married

NEW YORK, July 25.-Miss Katie Chris
tiansen, handsome, blue-eyed girl of II, is
employed as cashier by NJ. E. Tompkins,
wholesale grocer. Every Saturday morning
it is her business to carry her employers
money to the Gansevoort National Bank.
Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock she had
reached the corner of Thirteenth and Ninth
avenue on her usual errand, when she was
knocked down by a person behind her. She
held the satchel in her right hand, and there
was $500 in it. Her assailant seized at it,
but the girl held to her treasure SO firmly
that the man began to beat her over the
head. She cried for help, but still clung to
the money.
David T. Brokaw, a milkman, heard her
cries and sprang from his seat. In minute
he was on the man. Murphy, the would-be
robber, was taken before the Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court an hour later, charged
with attempted highway robbery and as
sault. He had no coat and had the appear
ance of vagabond. Grocer Tompkins was
there with his plucky cashier. She told the
story to the court with dramatic effect.
Murphy was held in 50, 500 bail.

majority of 26o. The result has almost

TO the last moment of keeping the seat
They had everything in their favor except q
a good cause. Their candidate was a strong
local man, and the polling took place at
period OF the year when the agricultural
laborers are busy getting in the hay harvest.
The Tories relied greatly upon the hay,
and prayed increasingly that the polling
daV would be blessed with fine weather SO
that the laborers, who are almost all good
Liberals, would have something better to do
than worry their heads about elections
Great, therefore, was the Liberal Joy when
Thursday opened with delightfully."- ominous
clouds, which ere long burst into delicious
downpour, making hay-making impossible.
The Liberal agent, Nash, positively rev.
eled in the rain, walked about in it bare
headed to show how he loved it. While
the rain lasted three-fourths of the laborers
voted for the Liberal candidate The sur
shine came in the afternoon, but it could
not cancel the votes which its tardy arrival
had allowed to be recorded.
