THE hot weather don'ts: Don't
hurry, don't fret, aon't watch the
thermometer, don't take heating
food or drink, don't wear starched
clothes, don't be afraid of perspir-
ing, don't seek CROWD, don't take
the sunny side Of the street, don't
talk about the weather. If you
can't be comfortable be as little un-
comfortable as you can.

THE entire p. M. church stone
Istructure which has graoed the
northwest corner of Chestnut and
Maiden streets since The year l54s,
was leyeled to the ground the first
of this week. To everyone who has
been to any degree familiar with
Mineral Point during the long
/ period of the buildings usefulness
in this place, gaze at the spot
causes many fond recollections to
come prominently to the front.
DURING yesterday mornings
storm lightning struck the barn Of
Henry Tonkin, in Willow Springs,
which resulted in the burning Of
the barn, seventy loads Of hay there
in, and many other articles of more
or less value. The loss is heavy;
have not learned whether it was
insured or not. At or about the
same time the barn Of Mr. u, Oates,
adjoining this city on the east, was
struck and only slightly damaged,
while horse within was instantly
killed.
The exhibit at Osborne's music
store this week of artistic work, as
done on the Singer sewing machine,
was something wonderful. Words
fall short in their power Of des-
cription. Imagine life-like portraits,
groups of animals, birds, boquets
of flowers, vines and flowers on such
as curtains, banners, towels, etc, all
in silk, colored and properly shaded,
and stitched there by a sewing ma
chine, for that is precisely what
the exhibit consisted Of. Every in
spector is full of admiration and
praise, and none would scarcely be-
lieve it possible before seeing. Mrs.
Hemming, of Ia Crosse, superln.
tended the exhibit, ably assisted by
Mr.. J. F. Crum, the general agent
for this section.
LAST week we mentioned the sub
iect of an Art Memorial to be sent
to the Worlds Fair by the women
of Wisconsin, and placed in the
State building. 1t consists of two
} American marble statues, made by
Miss Mears, of Oshkosh, and Miss
Miners, of Madison, who are pupils
of Leorado Taft, the famous sculp-
tor. Miss Mears' statue is named
"The Genius of Wisconsin," and il
represented by the figure of woman
standing upon a rock, beside an
eagle (Old Abe), around whose neck
is thrown her left arm, the eagle
protecting her with his out-spreading
wing. The State motto, "Forward,
! is bound around her head, which il
: crowned with a star In her righ
hand she gathers the folds Of th'
American flag, and on the base j
carved in relief the State seal, whil'
: around the whole is chain, tn
, links represent the Union Of States
, Miss Miners is equally fine, an'
: well chosen: The figure Of woman
? going forward, symbolizing th
progress of the women Of our State
