HOW TO KEEP COOL.

Don't sit on hot stove.
Don't sleep between blankets.
Don't hurry. Send the Office boy.
Don't look at the ice bill. Think OF
the ice.
Dent walk in the sun. Have il moved
If it blocks the way.
Don't worry-and don't worry be-
cause you can't help worrying.
Don't talk politics-the other fellow
is n heat7producing fool, anyway.
Don't drink hot Scotches, or Tom and
Jerrys, or hot rum punches.
Don't get excited. If your dog is be-
ing whipped, look at the thermometer
and resign yourself to his fate.
Don't try to settle the Philippines
question. The other fellow is Just as
much of an anti-be-convinced as you
are.
Don't swear at the heat. Remember,
the time you became profane when you
slipped in the snow six months ago.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

Eighteen society girls Of Opelousa,

Dora h. Yates, Of the University col

The employment of women in the

sequence. I'm 154s, Leonard, of Taxis,

OF A MILITARY NATURE.

A gunner's life was saved in South
Africa by the bullet lodging in pack
of cards that he had in the pocket of
his khaki jacket.
The average age of the men now at
the front is, according to military
statist, two years higher than that of
soldiers who fought at Waterloo.
The bayonet became a British weap-
on during the reign of Charles IL. 1t
then resembled a lance or pike head,
and was screwed into the barrel of the
muslSet when the latter had been dis
charged.
The siege of Mafeking (216 days)
comes fourth on the list of the longest
sieges of modern times. The three
sieges which lasted longer are Gibral-
tar, STA days; Khartoum, BAL DAYS. and
Sebastopol, 327 days
Sir Charles Dixie, in a paper read
before the Statistical Society of Lon
don, declared that the normal cost of
British ornaments in time of peace
is e60,ooO,ooo to the taxpayers of the
United Kingdom, 20, oOO, 900 to India
and 1,750,00o to the self-governing
COlOnlCS.
The present establishment OF the
military forces of New South Wales
consists of 9,774 officers and men; that
of Queensland of 7,216; South Australia
Of 5,217; Victoria of 10, 21s, and Western
Australia of 4,220, making the total mil
itary force on the Australian continent

Recent experiments with torpedo
boats off Portsmouth, England, have
tended to confirm the general opinion
in naval circles that vessels of this
class would be of little practical use in
great naval engagement, whatever
their value in scouting and skirmish-
ing. 1t was found impossible to APP
proach fortified post nearer than two
miles without discovery, even when
speed was so reduced that no smoke
escaped unconsumed from the tunnels
of the torpedo boats. At this range
any unarmored craft would be speedily
shot to pieces by an enemy possessing
a rapid-fire battery.

LOVERS WALKS IN BRITAIN.

Rothesay has a famous lovers walk.
Its shadiness in summer has made it
a favorite spot for many other persons
than sweethearts.
In Derbyshire, near Buxton, there is
renowned lovers leap. The story goes
that a maiden who had quarreled with
her sweetheart in fit of despair threw
herself over the cliffs into the rocky
gulf below. The tale whether true or
not has survi~ed for over a couple OF
centuries:
1t has been estimated that there are
at least a couple of hundred lovers
walks in Great Britain, all of which
are more or less renowned in story.
song and tradition. AS for Ireland, no
one has ever yet been bold enough to
try to count the number. One of the
most renowned is that at Matlock, the
beautiful Derbyshire town.
The beautiful Spencer road, at Ryde.
Isle of Wight, can boast of royalty hav-
ing shared it's charms. 1t is said to have
become known as the Lovers Walk
simply because there was hardly pair
of lovers in Ryde but used it for their
repetitions of the "old, old story
though the authorities never seemed to
favor the name, but have always re-
ferred TO it officially as Spencer road.
One English town can boast of hav-
ing a municipal lovers lane. This is
Blackburn, in Lancashire. 1t is a wind
ing walk, arched in by tall trees, bor-
dered by old stones and kept trim and
tidy. Here the girl from the mill or

MUNICIPALITIES.

James Dunsmuir, the present pre-
mier of British Columbia, is known
there as the silent Premier" because
while member of the provincial leg
islature for two years he never deliv-
cred a speech.
A souvenir of Mr.. Gladstone's hobby
as an amateur woodsman, consisting
of chip from an elm which he felled
at Hawarden in 1850, was sold for five
shillings in a London auction-room re-
Gently.
Ex-senator Matthew c. Butler and a
few friends recently celebrated the
thirty-sixth anniversary of the loss
OF the South Carolinian's leg at the
battle of Brandy Station during III
civil war. The senator was eutse
tanned at dinner at Delmonico's, New
York.
That the dignity of the supreme
bench is sometimes burdensome is
illustrated by a remark made by JUS
tice Brewer to a Washington official.
The justice was about to take his va
cation, and he said: II am glad L
am going to resort where 1 can wear
one gallus, no collar and roll up nv
pants"
The London Morning Posts "mils-
tary expert" whose deductions from
South Africa were nine times out OF
ten directly opposed to those of the

whose articles were telegraphed to
the leading journals throughout the
world, is n civilian named Spencer
Wilkinson. He has n fine head, wears
full beard and looks like n scientist.
When the war broke out he was dra-

Mutchteba Ali Gerrouh is the name
that Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish
minister has given the youngster that
was born recently at the Turkish le-
CATION at Washington. Nine. Fer
rouh Bey, who came to this country
with her husband last winter, is the
first Turkish woman of her rank ever
permitted to come to the United
States, it being a special favor of the
sultan to allow her to accompany her
husband ON his last return to Wash
ington, where he has represented his
government since 1893.

DOGS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

The French have proved the inval-
Hable service of the dog on the battle
field in Algiers and Tunis.
Russians made use of the dog in their
Turkish campaign; the Dutch and the
Italians have followed suit.
Germans have no difficulty in train
ing dogs, Great Danes preferably, for
the purpose of attacking the cycle
corps of the enemy. Most cyclists
think few dogs require any training
in this direction, as they usually con
slider all bicyclers foes. The Great Dane
is famed for its strength, ferocity and
tenacity of purpose.
BY far the most interesting services
performed by dogs on German battle
fields is that of ambulance and bearer
work. Scotch collies are used for this
purpose, wear a saddle with large
red cross on it, and attached to this is
a flask and dressing for wounds. The
dogs are so beautifully schooled they
will scent a man who in the ordinary
course would have been overlooked by
the bearers and perhaps left to die.

WORLDS FoRTIFICATIoNs.

Next TO Gibraltar, Malta is the strong
est fortress in the world.
The only fortress of consequence in
Denmark is the capital, Copenhagen.
The strongest fortress in European
Russia is CrOnstadt. 1t is the Russian
naval depot of the Baltic sea.
The earliest known system Of forti-
fcation was the stockade. 1t has been
employed, at one time or another, by
all nations, but is still in use in Turkey
Offa's dixie was defensive wall built
by the Romans against the Welsh. 1t
was an earthen fortifcation, 113 miles
long, and entirely cut off Wales from
England.
The only fortress in the United States
Is Fortress Monroe, in Virginia. 1t is
surrounded by n moat filed with water
from eight to fifteen feet deep, and
from rs to 100 feet wide.
The two principal German fortresses
on the Baltic sea are at Konigsberg and
Danzig; on the French frontier, Metz
and Strasburg, and on the Belgian from
tier, Cologne and Coblenz
The difference between a fort and a
fortress lies in the fact that the former
is designed to contain solely the garri-
son and their munitions, while the lat
ter is often city containing a large
number of noncombatants.
France has, on the German frontier.
three frst-class fortresses - Belfort.
Verdun and Briancon; on the Belgian
frontier, Lille, Dunkirk, Arras and
Donaz; on the Italian, Lyon, Grenoblc
and Besaucon, and on the Atlantic
coast, Rochefort, Lorient and Brest.
The southern entrance of the Red sea
is commanded by the fortress of Alden
and the fort on the little island of
Perrin, in the Straits Of Bab-eI-Man-
deb; the guns of the latter completely
covering the narrow channel. and the
fortress dominating the entrance TO the
sea.
The Chinese wall is the most exten
sive fertilization in the world. Accord

few years, this wall is 1,72s miles in

earth and stone, and the passageway
Is paved with bricks one foot square.

SAVED BY ANIMALS.

The pet dog of British scout. by a
timely bark, prevented patrol from
entering n Boer ambuscade, and so
saved dozen men from imminent
death.
The shrlll screaming of a pet parrot,
one winters morning, awakened fam.
lily in Holland in the nick of time to
save them from the threatening flood,
which was sweeping down their street
from dam which had burst in the
town above them.
A French gentleman was in peril of
his life at the hands of a surprised and
desperate burglar, when the burIy
body of a pet bear interviewed between
the householder and his would-be as
sailant, and spared him an encounter
out of which he must have come second
best.
The exodus of a colony of rats from a
certain ship in dock LED an observant
captain to have his vessel overhauled.
when it was discovered that the ships
bottom had sustained an in Jury, which
must have resulted in her laundering
at sea had not the accident been indi-
rectly averted by the action of the
alarmed rodents.
In New York, about two years ago,
the little tbree-year-old daughter of a
merchant was left by her nurse near
an open window three stories high.
Through this window she crept, and
would have fallen on TO the pavement
below but for the intervention of de-
voted dog, who seized her dress in his
teeth and held her tightly until aid ar
rived.
From a disastrous food in India,
some years ago, the broad back of an
elephant offered ample sanctuary to an
imperilled family. The animal heard
his masters call, and came through the
rising waters to the open window
where the family were assembled.
From thence the devoted elephant con-
veyed his precious burden to a place
of safety.
In cage of performing animals at
an itinerant menagerie the tanner was
putting the huge beasts through their
tricks, when the sudden temper of an
old lion would doubtless have resulted
in the death of the tanner but for the
opportune aid rendered by pet puma,
who sprang at the throat of the vicious
lion and diverted his attention until
the tanner had time TO assert his au-
thority and restore order.
During the autumn of last year a
Bristol family were saved from an aw-
full death through the action of faith
full cat. In the early hours of the mem.
orable morning in question the master
of the house was awakened by the cats
paw gently patting his cheek. He
pushed the animal away, but pussy per-
sisted with her odd alarm, until the
gentleman rose. Then he discovered
that the house was on fire, and the in
timation came only just in time TO en-
able him and. his family to effect their
hurried escape from the fiery doom.
