The Laws of Health.

An exchange says, Nature doesn't
care snap about the moral laws in build
ing up mans body but she does insist
upon observance of physical laws. These
cannet be violated with impunity. For
reference see John l.. Sullivan, of Boston,
late champion" The newspaper man as
usual makes mistakes. The moral laws
are the physical laws. Even the pugilists
have to observe them and when in train
ing they must live cIeanly, sober, chaste,
temperate and regular lives. The moral
laws have sprung from the physical laws.
No man can live rightly without thinking
and acting right. A sound mind is the re-
suit of a sound body. In order to obtain
both one must live simply and carefully
guard against the inroads of disease. Pull
monary trouble is a foe that proves fatal
to most athletes. They break down and
die with consumption. If you have any
tendency that way or are troubled with
bronchitis or catanh get bottle of Reds
German Cough and Kidney Cure and
take it freely. 1t is the only cough RENE
dy on the market of which it can be
truthfully said, there is no danger of an
over dose. Small bottles IS cents, large
ones 50 cents.

A summer without Nights.

To the summer visitor in Sweden
there is nothing more striking than the
almost total absence of night. At
Stockholm. the Swedish capital, the
sun goes down few minutes before
ten o'clock and rises at four hours later
during greater part of the month of
June. But the four hours the sun lies
hidden in the frozen north are not
hours of darkness-the refraction of
his rays as he passes around the north
pole makes midnight as light as cloudy
midday, and enables one to read the
finest print without artificial light at
any time during the might. At the
head of the gulf of Bothnia, there is a
mountain on the summit of which the
sun shines perpetually during the five
days of June 10, 20, 81, 22 and %. Every
six hours during this season of con-
tinued sunshine steamer leaves Stock
holm crowded with visitors anxious to
witness the phenomenon At the same
place during winter the sun disappears
and is not seen for weeks; then it comes
in sight again for ten, fifteen, or twenty
minutes, gradually frightening its stay
until finally it stays in sight continu-
ously for upward of one hundred and
twenty hours.--St- Louis Republic.

STREETS OF PEklN.

Sights and Scenes la the Great Capital.
4 The town is always most animated.
At certain hours of the day the streets
are as crowded with foot-passengers,
riders on horseback, and carriages as
those of London or of Paris. There is
plenty to interest or amuse the specta-
tor: Tartar carts and Chinese chaises,
blue or green sedan-chairs, the color
varying according to the rank and inn
portance of the owner; grooms of the
palace in yellow livery, couriers of the
emperor in yellow and black uniforms,
long strings of camels belonging to
Mongol caravans, condemned prisoners
wearing or carrying their cangues, ETC.,
etc.; and on either side of the carriage
way, under shelters or in the open air,
musicians and jugglers, mountebanks
and necromancers, public scribes, Sec
ond-hand booksellers, old-clothesmen,
furniture brokers, cobblers and harness
makers, BARRIERS and chiropodists, cooks
and. pastry cooks, sellers of fruit and
tea merchants; in word, every variety
fof itinerant dealer, resulting in
an infinite variety of bright and
picturesque scenes. Or a wedding
procession marches down the street,
with its band, its lanterns, its banners,
its parasols, the attendant servants in
gala costumes, and the bride carried be-
meath q red canopy. Or perhaps a
funeral cortege of apparently endless
length, with its fute-players and gong
heaters, its incense-burners, its Bud
dhist priests chanting litanies, its
mourners making grimaces and howl
ing, succeeded by a long string of vehi-
Giles laden with all the things supposed
to be necessary TO the defunct in the
life beyond the tomb; behind which
come the relations and friends of the
deceased, clad in white hair-cloth; and,
last of all, borne ON the shoulders of six
teen, twenty or thirty hired assistants,
the huge catafalque itself, loaded with
gilded sculpture and hung with beauti-
fully embroidered blue silk hangings.
The filth of the streets is yet another
element of the picturesque. No descrip-
ton could possibly give an idea of it

A MISTAKEN SERVICE.
Tho Young Lady Typewriter Whom lie

Engaged Individually Lost Her job.
"Oh, yes, frequently" said a young
lady who has had considerable expo
rience as stenographcr, in reply to the
clubman's question as to whether her
employers ever dictated their family
letters to her.
snow, there is NJ. Jones. While his
wife was down east he always dictated
the letters he sent to her daily or else
had me write them. 1t got to be quite
the usual occurrence for him TIC say
after business matters had been at
tended to-:
swell, guess, Miss Brown, you may
write to my wife. You know about
what to say.
80 would proceed and write a let
ter in his usual cordial tone, telling her
that the baby was doing well and the
boys were getting along finely with
Mary, the house-servant.
Sometimes, when was feeling quite
in the humor, would get off long let
tiers of several hundred words each.
Mr.. Jones would look over the page and
jot down his name at the end. / would
address the envelope on the machine,
seal it and send the message on his way
TO the absent wife.
'But there came an end to all that.
That wife must have become tired OF
receiving typewriter missives. / sup
pose they do seem rather cold, and per-
haps then she did not like the idea OF
having a third party aware of the con-
tents of her husbands private corrc-
spondcnce.
Zone day Mr.. Jones did not come
down to the Office. supposed he had
been out with the boys the night be-
fore. Along in the afternoon his broth
er came over to my desk and said:
Perhaps we had better get off let
ter to Mrs. Jones, as otherwise she
might think something had happened
So wrote out a letter in the usual
manner and signed it with the rubber
fac simile of Mr.. Jones' signature.
1.-THE letter was posted and Thought
no more of it for several days. Mr..
Jones did not come down to the Office
that day or the next and the third day
there was an explosion.
| sit seems that the reason he did not
come down on the morning that
wrote the letter was because his wife
came home the morning before, and
he had not heard of it till he went
home at night, she thinking she
would surprise him. The next day and
the next he stayed at home, and the
third day the letter that l had written
unbelznown to him was forwarded to
her, and you can imagine the breeze it
created.
II really believe the woman couldn't
have been more angry if she had caught
me flirting with her husband instead of
doing my best to keep up pleasant rela-
tions between them.
Eyes, that is why found another
situation. She put on such funny airs
before me, and wouldn't even speak to
me when she came into the Office, al
though she had always done so before
that go
II think Mr.. Jones enjoyed it on the
quiet, but he was too honorable and too
much of a gentleman to make sport of
his wife even indirectly" = Chicago

Progress at Alamitos-The Camp Meet

LONG BEACH, Aug. 6.-What might
have resulted in a serious accident this
morning was happily averted by good
luck-and the sand. A party, consist
ing Of @. w. Allen, Miss Allen, Mr.. and
Mrs. @. Sowerwine, Master Elmer Smith
and his baby sister, drove in double
seated carriage from Cocumonga to
Long Beach. After reaching the town
they started on drive down the beach
towards Anaheim landing, but when
about two miles from Long Beach the
horses SHE'D at the water and began
backing. The left rein broke, and pull
ing on the other one caused the team to
wheel around toward this place,
upsetting the carriage, breaking
two of the wheels and dump
ing the occupants out. The
horses started to run and pulled @. w.
Allen, who was driving them, over the
dashboard and dragged him for about
100 yards. None of the party were in
jured and all returned to Long Beach.
The carrige is owned by Lewis Smith.
THE NEW BONDS.
The new city bonds have arrived and
are handsomely autographed affairs.
They are sixty in number, $3.50 each.
and have forty interest coupons Of 1915
attached, the interest is payable semi
annually. A message was received to-
day from Mr.. Burnett, the attorney for
the Pirtle company, saying that when
ever they were properly signed, the
money was ready to be paid.
The Alamitos Land company is rear
ranging its pump system at Alamitos; a
new boiler is being put in so that there
will be duplicate pump ready when
ever one of them gets out of order.
During the past week the same company
has sold five acre lot on the Alamitos
tract to James Sturgess, of Garden
Grove, and another one to DR.. S. s. Guy,
of Los Angeles. DIR. Guy is homeop-
athist and is thinking of locating in
Long Beach.
w. F. Sweeney has been out for the
last few days surveying for the conn
pany's new reservoir to hold 100000
gallons, to be located in Alamitos.
THE METHoDIsTs.
The camp meeting grows in interest.
The audiences are much larger than
in any previous year and the preaching
is able and effective.
The sunrise prayer meeting on Satur-
day was numerously attended.
The conservation service at $3.50 was
