SUMMER SUNSHINE a BLESSING.
Don't Kick About the Weather Re
main Serene.

The weather is warm, but why warm?
It is nothing unusual. It gets warm
every summer. Is it not about time
we were learning to take care of our
selves in warm weather? This is one
of the heslthiest times of the year. 1t
gives one chance to perspire freely.
It is Turkish bath every hour. 1t
keeps the pores of the skin well open,
and in order to attain this people exer-
else hours in the winter. But what a
delightful season of the year it is if we
only practice a little prudence and
common sense. Don't get mad; don't
get excited; don't be worried, even
though the roof fall in. Work as hard
as you like, but work evenly and calm
ly, not by jerks or in rush. Work
does not hurt. Don't lay off from work
because the weather is hot. The av-
erage days work helps you to keep in
good condition. Drink few iced drinks
and no intoxicants. but if you Will
drink, be temperate. Eat little meat,
but much fruit. Fruit is cheap and
wholesome. But speaking of the
weather, do we not work at queer hours
during the hot months for sensible
people? At 5 o'clock in the morning
the weather is cool and refreshing and
ideal. But very few business men in
Americus are at work till two hours
later. From 10 to it Is sweltering
and every one is toilIng. The United
States is the only hot country in the
world where people work in the middle
of the day. In the hot countries of
Europe and the Orient everything is
shut up at this time. Everybody goes
to sleep. Business is resumed when
the day gets cooler. Tt is sensible,
and if sensible, why not practicable?

Bill Kennebrew is a northern bred

when Officers Glawson and Oliver
dropped in at his villa on Mullet street
yesterday they found various articles
of rare brio -brac for which William
could not account. This included 1874
pounds of lead and II pounds of brass,
which the police think was swiped from
the Allen House while plumbers were
making repairs there. AT all events
the watermelon season will have waned
many times, perhaps, ere Kennebrew

forts Are Directed Toward the Re-
lief of the Ministers in Picking.
WAsHIN GToN, Aug. 1.-THE viceroys
Of China, including Ii Hung Chang,
have addressed a request to the United
States government to use its good offices
with the powers to stop the landing Of
foreign troops at Shanghai. The state
department. received the communication
today from Minister WI, who received
it late last night, The document states
that an agreemen5 was made about q
month ago by which the foreign gov
ernments exercised the right of protec-
ton over the city of Shanghai
This protection, it is claimed, can be
amply carried out without the landing
of troops, and, the viceroys state, 30
foreign Warships are now in the harbor
and are able to protect the interests of
foreigners and maintain order. The
viceroys also urge That the landing Of
troops will incite disorder.
A member of the cabinet stated that
the Chinese imperial edict authorizing
Lii Hung Chang to negotiate for peace
was likely to have an immediate effect
on the situation.
"1t may be true he said, "and the
Chinese may be awakening to realiza-
ton Of the situation. But neither that
edict nor anything else will bring about
any change from the present plan and
determination to push on to Peking and
rescue the legations I do not appre-
bend that anything will occur that will
be sufficient warrant for stopping the
march on to the Chinese capital. The
ministers must be rescued first. We
would put little faith in any such step
until it is Immediately backed up by
something more definite. III Hung
Chang may Immediately put himself in
communication with some of the pow
ers, but it may not affect present plans
until our legatiOners are rescued
Tt was further stated that this govern
ment did not have a high opinion Of the
reliability of the Chinese statesman and
was not inclined to put any great faith
in his acts.
