IN NEW YORK.

New York, August 1O.-The number
of deaths caused by the heat in greater
New York is 100 and additional VIC
tins are being reported hourly. The
prostrations are almost innumerable
and no accurate statement Of them can
be made. Ambulances and patrol wag-
ons have dropped in their tracks by
scores, out of door work being largely
suspended and many factories are tenn
porarily closed.
New York, August 1O.-At the cor
oner's office twenty-one deaths have
been reported since midnight from
sources other than the police records.
In Brooklyn numerous cases Of sun
stroke have been reported and from
points throughout the state much suf-
fering from heat prevails, beyond any
thing experienced in many years
At Hoboken two deaths have occurr-
ed. At Orange one man died from the
heat and at Brunswick. n. J., three
deaths have occurred.
At Boston and other New England
cities the same conditions iexist.
Providence reports three deaths and
two prostrations.
SCoRCHING KANSAS CROPS.
Sterling, Kansas, August 1O.-Satur-
day the mercury was 100 in the shade
and today 1O2. Farmers say the corn
will not make over half crop and the
hot winds have worked damage all
over the country. Whole fields look
as If fire had passed through them.

MEND YOUR FACE!
How TO Round Out HOll0ws and Re-
duce Facial Contours.

We buy dumb bells. Indian clubs, chest
weights and medicine balls galore 10
strengthen and Improve every known and
unknown muscle IN the body, from our
ncCks down ward, but what about the
muscles OF our face?
They, too, can be remedied or improved
and are quite susceptible of development
as many muscles of the body, so T rot. Dowd,
physical culture instructor, will tell you.
Hundreds of faces are round anu plump,
yet not beautiful, or even pretty. They are
all flesh and no muscle, There must be just
enough pampness from the development
of muscular tissue to bring out natures
vulgar fat.
Now. there are a few exercises, which,
IL practiced fifteen minutes daily, or even
five minutes, will do more to improve
ones looks than all the lotions in the
world. Indeed, You may throw lotions
and rouge and powdre de riz to lie winds
provided you Will go to work systemat-
icaly. first with the laughing muscles,
which are the levators labri superiors and
anguli oris and ZygomatiCus-to speak sci
entifically.
If you look in the mirror and smile
broadly. you Will readily perceive which
the laughing muscles are, from the way
they bunch up, one on each cheek, directly
under the eyes. (See figure H. Also, the
punches which form at each corner OF the
mouth in the center of the cheeks.

lead pencils are just the things for this
work, being about the right size. The
teeth must be closed strongly ON them
each time.
BY thus raising the lower jaw against
the upper one with great force the mus
cies-the temporal masseter and Internal
terygoid-become weildeveloped and there
Dy fill out the hollows which are so un-
welcome and SO unbecOming.
Another exercise that will aid very mate
rally in Pumping out the cheeks is TO put
cheek and the teeth and press the cheek
outward in every conceivable way you
can, and all parts of II, and especially
back as far as YOU can.

veloping the muscles of the chin and neck

OF the mouth. 1t viii probably take some
time 10 get control of this muscle; only
persevere; when YOU do get control of it
you will see the cuiicle of the entire
front of the neck move upward. The
muscle is attached TO the cuticle of the
chin and around nearly the whole length
of the lower jaw. Its lower Insertions are
attached TO the cuticle of the chest. and
, when in contraction it pulls the corners of
the mouth downward and the Cuticle OF
the chest upward.
There are other exercises for develop
ing the muscles of the neck and chest
but enough for the present.

Habits of Frogs .

Did you know that frogs breathe through
their funny. freCklcd skin. as well as
through their lungs. which do not supply
sufficient air 20 the lungs TO keep the frog
alive2 They do, and more than that. IL is
proven that a frog can soak up half its
weight of water in an hour This soaking
of water is what gives the horrid. CIammy.

poEcd with a red-hOt iron. il would not
feel it enough to move out Of it's tracks:
for the moisture on the skin forms a kind

which it takes time 20 heat through. and
so the frog " ould reel no pain from the heat.
And. more curious than all, the frog has
another safeguard against drying up-that

the balls OF the thumbs placed On the
cheeks, and pressing toward the corners
of the mouth straight out to the center of
the cheeks. toward the bali of the thumb.
Be sure and not make the pressure of the
thumb so strong against the muscles that
when they are in contraction they will be
unable to force the thumbs back each time
as they Should do. Repeat this move
mcnt until you have tired the muscles.
Another exercise that will aid very
materially in Pumping out the face Is to
exercise the muscles OF the chin. Again
stand before your mirror, Miss Vanity.
to be sure you are doing the right thing;
press the lower lip upward by depressing
the chin, as in the act OF pouting as strongly
as you can (see Figure IIp, crook the
forefinger so as to make a half circle Of
it,; put the half wide form over the point
OF the chin just below the mouth, nd
press downward lightly with the finger,
while at the same tire you are pressing
the lip upward strongly enough to push
the finger up with 1t.
You must remember, after contractiu
the muscles firmly enough to force tile
finger upward, to relax it instantly and
allow it to assume It's natural condition
again. and repeat the movement until you
have tired the muscles OF the chin.
In this exercise, be sure to keep the

If you can exercise and develop these
laughing muscles your cheeks will retain
their firm contour and keep you young
and charming in appearance-forever?
But to return to the position before the
mirror First contract the laughing mus
cles as firmly as possible by smiling wide
ly. and While the muscles are punched up
one under each eye, place the tips of the
three first fingers of each hand high up on
each muscle, press down slightly the fin
gers on the muscles while you are con-
tracing them. The proper effort is to
put the muscles into contraction by smiling
broadly, and then instantly allow the feat
ures to relax and assume their natural ex-
preston again. Continue to do SO until
you have tired this set OF tissues.
You can readily understand that the
pressure of the fingers. Willie the muscles
are in contraction, offers the desired re-
distance, which is necessary to the rapid
development of the muscular tissue, and

most ridiculous thing in the ridiculous
question asked the former by the lat
ter was the suggestion that the senator
from Ohio would take the note OF the
senator from North Carolina for any
amount.
This reply could be made without any
sort Of offence being intended, and with
out the possibility Of any offence being
Justly taken. Mr.. Butler claims the
right TO get from the senator from ONO
or any other person one thousand goio
dollars and to pay the debt with one
thousand silver dollars, even though the
silver dollars should fall In value 10
only fifty cents each. 1t would be most
unreasonable. therefore. for him to ex-
pect that the senator from Ohio, or any
other sane man, would be willing to let
him have one thousand gold dollars with
any such opinion as that entertained by
him. And yet the whole case OF the
free coiners is included in that episode
between I'LL and Butler.
