AUGUST WEATHER is EXPERT.
ENCED IN APRIL.
By Beginning Before Sunrise the Their
mOmeter at Chicago Works Itself Up
to SO at 4 O'Clock, and Winter-Gar-
ment-Weariug Public Melts.
Oppressiye Weather.

Records in the weather line underwent
shock Thursday, from which they can
not recover for at least n year. With
unanimity that was admirable all the
thermometers and all the old residents
agree that it was the hottest April day
that ever fell to their lot.
The thermometer in the Chicago Audi
torium tower, which always is bashful
about climbing up too high, registered at
one time during the afternoon as high as
S4, but its metallic brothers in the streets
below were not at all backward in pro-
claiming their knowledge that it. was SS.
The weather records hold only two cases
approaching that of Thursday. and those
two days were in 1893 and 1894, respec-
lively. But no proofs written or unwrit-
ten could persuade the people that it
wasn't hottest day that any April ever
produced.
1t began long before the sun shot up
over Lake Michigan in the early morning.
BY S o'clock the jubilant mercury tube
registered 49, From that time on the
metal seemed TO have things its own way.
1t shot up with each succeeding hour un-
til at 4 o'clock it registered just SS. At
the same time the marking in the Audito-
rum tower had it 81.
The trouble, as everybody agreed, was
that people were afraid to discard wool
ems, which had been in use during the
winter, for lighter underwear. While the
temperature went up and up the people
kept saying with fatal persistency,
"Well, it'll be cooler tomorrow. It's only
April and this can't last" But that
brought no relief. and the tired men and
women simply kept on perspiring. One
man was overcome by the heat.
Chicago was not alone in its tOrridity.
New York just tied the record of 81 de-
grees, and the official thermometer of St.
Louis, which, like Chicago's, is bashful
about too high an ascension. registered So.
In Louisville there was a good, hot, base
ball temperature of Sc, and even frigid
Boston mustered up marking of I6. The
hot wave extended over practically the
whole Mississippi valley.

Menelek Is Sorry.

A French physician who visited the
Abyssinian King Menelek's camp, in
February, writes that Menelek has ex-
pressed sorrow at the great bloodshed
resulting from the war. The Shoan
army was in excellent condition at that
time and had been placed under strict
discipline, an unusual thing for such
troops. They were reported also to have
acquired n certain dignity of charac-
ter and bearing, which had previously
been entirely wanting. Old Menelek
expressed no doubt as to the final out
come of the war, but stated that he
hated the bloodshed, and had only act
ed on the defensive. He scarcely had
any idea of the great slaughter Of Ital-
ian troops which his soldiers would SO
soon make.

A Russian Remedy.

"Some years ago." said Paderewski,
the other day in the Chicago Evening
Post, II dined with an official of the
Russian army. This official had in his
command an officer of great ability who
was addicted TO strong drink. 1t was
arranged that the man should take din
ner along with us that day. Instead of
soup, the first course served to him was
brandy, which lie must swallow
spoonful at time, just as he would
have swallowed soup. After the first
spoonful he was so sick that he implor
ed to be spared. Under cover of
drawn revolver the official commanded
him to swallow every spoonful in the
plate. The officer never drank n drop
of liquor after that. Try to drink
champagne from cup or liquor as that
man was forced to drink it, 1t will

A Cat Worth Having.

One of the greatest successes in the his
tory of this country is that achieved by
Boston's unique 5-cent magazine, The
Black Cat. In seven months it has reach
ed sale OF one quarter of million copies
per issue. The chief reason for this is
that each number contains half dozen
of the most original and fascinating
stories that brains and genius can pro-
duce and money can buy.
The Philadelphia Call aptly says: It's
phenomenal success has already earned
for it the title, 1.-THE Marvel of the Maga-
zine World" and it would certainly be
impossible to find in a single number of
any other publication such captivating
tales as are published monthly in The
Black Cat. And the Boston Post pro-
nounces it the most fascinating 5 cents
worth on earth.-Rochester Post Express.

!Abyssinians Are Good Fighters.

The Italians, of course, explain their
defeat by the presence of French and
Russian officers with Menelek. but il
may be questioned if any Anglo-Indian
general accustomed to mountain war
fare would agree with them. Drill does
not improve Oriental soldiers like the
Abyssinians. They are Semites in
blood, of exceptional courage, men who
did not hesitate to charge into the cen
ter of the Italian regiments; they have
been accustomed to defend their hills
for a thousand years; and they have
generals accustomed TO utilize masses
of men who recently destroyed an army
from Khartoum at Kassala.
They had good rifles, they were on
the higher ridges when they started,
and their king. Menelek, is obviously a
soldier of the Hyder Ali type-that is, n
man who can induce his Soldiery TO
die. To beat such men they must
either be decoyed out of the hills or at
tackled from above, and the Italians
were still mounting when an avalanche
Of riflemen swept down on them. The
number Of the dead suggests that the
Italians fought well, but the frightful
proportion of officers killed, two-thirds
the whole number tells n different tale.
The officers, we fear, exposed them
selves to arrest q panic, which may,
however, broken out at first only
