Confident of the Result.
SLIGHTLY OFF ON THE TITLES.

The "Incoo mbrance" Was Out, But the
Local Demon Was In.
Here is an Episcopal story. Bishop
Williams, of Connecticut, is the hero
and Scotland the place of action.
1t seems that over in Scotland the
rector of parish is called the ''incum-
bent" and his curate the ''locum ten
ems"
One day Bishop Williams was
dropped from the stage coach in little
Gaelic town in which the only respect
able-looking house was the parsonage.
The bishop felt that he could not enter
the wretched. dingy, one-story inn, and
he determined to beg from the rector a
nights lodging on the score of his Epis-
copal dignity. So he marched boldly
up to the door of the parsonage and
knocked. His knock was answered by
a wrinkled old Scotch woman, who
looked for all the world like Meg Mer-
rifles, with an added score of years on
her head. She glanced cannily and
suspiciously at the bishop, holding the
door half way open.

Don't Fret and You Will Endure the He
Retter.

Don't Fret and You Will Endure the Heat
Better.
A severe hot spell is very trying to
the philosophy of the average man and
woman; but fretting and worrying
about the heat greatly aggravate its
evils 1t is not always possible to keep
cool and comfortable, but the first
necessity to endure excessive heat with
the minimum of discomfort is to meet
it with deliberation and take all reason
able precautions against needless ex-
posture.
1t is always wise to regulate diet and
drink with care in severe heated terms.
Diet should be lighter and cooler than
usual, by diminished meats and in
creased fruits and vegetables; but stale
fruits and vegeta bles should be scrupu-
lousy avoided and especially for chill
dren. Cooling drinks are very tempt
ing in hot weather, but it is serious
mistake to overload the stomach with
fluids of any sort. Pure water Of the
natural temperature of the spring is
the very best drink, and even that
should be used modera tely.
The danger from sunstroke is very
great in hot days with unusual humid
ity in the atmosphere, and it is not con-
fined to those exposed to the scorching
rays of the sun. Prostration from hea
or what is commonly called sunstroke,
may occur without direct exposure to
the sun, and it is possible when in bed
at night after the heat of the day has
passed. The exposure is greater and
the heat more imminent in cases where
persons are employed on buildings or
exposed to the direct rays of the sun;
but sunstrolle comes from the internal
condition of the system infiamed by
heat rather than from stroke by di-
rect exposure.
If the head can be kept reasona bly,
cool, sunstrolle or any form of prostra-
ton by heat is impossible; and all who
are specially exposed to the sun should
keep a damp linen cloth in the crown
of their hats, or, what is better yet, a
small cabbage leaf. The same law ap-
Plies to horses. A small piece of linen
suspended over the head of the horse
will not only protect the head from the
direct rays of the sun, but assure a
cooling current of air between the linen
and the brain. AS long as the head
can be kept moderately cool in man or
horse, there is safety in the hotties
