snonths Of Ebe year, comprising June, July
and August, the heat As not oppressive,
Even though the thermometer in mld-sum-
r,er may al times rise above 1902, and &C.
easionally even reach ll00, yet, owing to
4he Absence Of moisture in the air, 1t is not
onpressive. She atmosphere is pure, light
and balmy. When the mercury marks the
highest extreme of heat, person does not
feel thAS oppression or debility which is
lelt in the Eastern States when the mer-
curry is hanging from So to 90. The air is
so dry that perspiratIon is absorbed as soon
as it reaci,es the surface of the body, and

This is plain because every organ
in the body depends on the stomach
for its nourishment. Nerve, bone.
sinew, blood are made from the food
which the stomach converts to our
use.
How useless TO treat diseases with
this, that and the other remedy, and
neglect the most important Of all,
tha . Omach.
The earliest symptoms Of indiges-
tion are sour rising, bad taste in the
mouth, gas in the stomach and bow

faintness, headaches. constipation
later comes loss OF flesh, consump-
tion, liver and heart troubles, kid
ney diseases. nervous prostration,
all Of which are the indirect result OF
poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indi-
gestion should make . practice to
take after each meal one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. allowing it to
dissolve in the mouth and thus
mingle with the saliva and enter
the stomach in the most natural way.
These tablets are highly recon-
mended by DR.. Jennison because
they are composed OF the material
digestive acids and fruit essences
which assist the stomach in digest
ing all wholesome food before it has
time to ferment and sour.

A WASHINGTON correspondent says
that while Boss Hanna was in that
city recently he got large bundle ol
letters by every mail and from all
parts Of the country, so many that the
carrier who serves the Arlington
hotel used to tie them up in string.
They usually made as large q pack.
age as all the rest of the hotel COM
bined. Most of them are supposed
to have been applications for office,
and il the writer's do not receive re-
plies promptly the colored man who
waited upon Mr.. Hanna and his
rooms has furnished an explanation.
He says that the great mandarin did
lot read any Of the letters that came
through the mail; that he did not
even open one of them, but used to
fling the original packages into his
trunk. without examining them, and
took them back tn Cleveland, where
his secretary will read and dispose
of them. So that if any Of our local
republican office-seekers have no.
heard from their latest letters, they
will now know "what is the matter
with Hanna"

Argentina Ants.

A common way of destroying the ants
In Argentina is by means Of q small
metal cylindrical furnace half filled
with any kind of dry, iDfiammable rub.
bish. and i'll the top pan suspended
containing flowers Of sulphur When
lighted. lid is screwed down over
this, so that the smoke can only issue
from bent metal tube, which conducts
it to the ant hole. A pair of bellows,
worked by handle, is attached to the
lower part Of the furnace, thus making
the fire burn and forcing the sulphurous
smoke along the ant passages. Ths
whole apparatus is suspended on wheels
and can thereby be conveniently moved
from part to part Of the quinta. With
this instrument such volumes of suffo-
eating smoke can soon be produced that
it will often be issuing thickly from
holes 200 or 800 yards distant So You
may imagine the ants have a somewhat
lively time Of it-or, perhaps, rather, a
deadly one.
In spite, however. Of waging war
against them they multiply SO rapidly
that it is only where the gardeners fight
them very energetically that they can
be kept down, and the amount of dam
age they do is often appalling. When
mp country. on the border Of the Grand
Chaco. where, of course, these insects
work their own sweet will, the writer
once discovered deserted wooden hut
Incautiously leaning against the struc-
ture. he was surprised to see the whole
of it collapse. But on examination he
found the reason to be that every por-
tion Of the woodwork had been perfor-
ated and undermined BY the ants, and
only required very slight touch to
crumble into ruins The inroads of the
ants had probably been the cause Of
abandoning the hut-Temple Bar.
