HOT WEATHER IN THE sLUMs,
Swift Trolley Cars Stir Up the Air
Bringing Temporary Relief.

Speaking of fans and warm wealth
err" said a gentleman to a New Or
leans mes-Democrat reporter, 81
have made an interesting observation
during the last few days. Along some
of the narrow streets of New Orleans,
and in the poorer quarters, where the
houses are jammed up together until
it would seem almost impossible for
the air to circulate at all, / guess one
would find the greatest amount Of
suffering. And it was in section of
this sort, where the people were pant
ing for breath, that | made the obser-
walton. The fan is a great thingin the
hot season, just so one does not have
to fan ones self. If the cooling ef-
feet can be obtained without any ex-
penditure Of muscular energy, so
much the better. Now, this is what
happens in some of thenarrow streets
where electric cars brush along atreg-
% 2
ular intervals. The street car is
great fan. Where they run down some
of the narrower thoroughfares, sweep
ing by the windows with considerable
velocity, they do a world of good in a
cooling way, and | have watched the
occupants of houses crowd to the win
dows just to get the benefit of the
breeze caused by the rapid motion of
the car. In these streets the air is
banked and circulates but little un-
less there happens to be a sweeping
wind in the direction the street runs.
The car churns this air up, sweeps it
out so that fresher air may rush in
from above and from the side streets,
and hence the street car becomes a
great advantage to the persons who
live along the narrow streets and in
the tenements that are crowded close
together" oN,O@ aapuol

OWNING BOOKS.
Better Than Borrowing You BecOins
More Familiar with Them


Better Than Borrowing You RecCins
More Familiar with Them
In a newspaper was recently print
ed letter from a book loverasserting
that books were Of little use to those
who only borrowed them or received
them as gifts lie objected, as Ruskin
also did, to cheap books, and said he
was "almost convinced that if the
cheapest books cost five dollars or
more the world would be better of" .
No doubt, says the editor Of ST.
Nicholas, this is an extreme state
ment, and would have to be expressed
more cautiously to be true. Yetthcre
is some truth in the idea that books
may be too plentiful and too easy to
buy. There is, possibly, a likeness be-
tween libraries and schools in thisre
spect The boy or girl in a big school
is not SO likely to form friendships
as if in smaller school. Where there
is TOO wide a choice, there is less init
macy. So in the library. A large IL
brary is not so likely to. become fa-
miliar and valued as a smaller collec-
ton well chosen.
The very company Of books is edu-
eating. AS one sits before the book
cases and glances at his favorte vol
umes, it is as if each said word or two
or suggested a thought. Thus a boys
eye may fall upon his copy Of "Tom
Brown at Rugby" and in his mind
rises the remembrance Of the great
hare-and-hounds run in which Tom
and East and the Tadpole struggled
so pluckily, and at last held that de-
lightful little interview with DR.. Ar
mold; or visions of East's tricks on old
Martin. There is no need to open the
book-one breathes its healthful air
at the mere sight of its title. So from
each old fOvorite there comes friend
ly greeting, and we recall the pleasant
hours spent in its company.
A great orator said: Books are
the windows through which the SOU
looks out. A home without books is
like a room without windows. Nc
man has right to bring up children
without surrounding them with
books if he has the means to buy
books" tuef-.

A MODERN APOSTLE.
Richard JanRsch, ~ German Enthu-
sinst, Leads n strange NOmadic
Religious Life.

Richard Janasch, the modern apos-
tie, is the latest phenomenon IN the
religious world which at the beginning
of the twentieth century BOASTS of an
endless variety Of factions, ects and
theories. Richard Janasch is at pres
emit tramping through Bohemia, where,
during his peregrinations in the Cit
les and villages, he is followed by vast
throngs, many of whom believe i'm him.
Here is the doctrine of Richard Jam
asch i'm nutshell:
Provide neither gold nor silver nor
brass in your purses; nor script for

your journey, neither two coats, nei-
Their shoes, nor yet slaves. Eat no
meat and drink no strong drink. ABIDE
in the dwellings provided by the rocks
and other elements of nature"
In accordance with these partly
Biblical and partly vegetarian rules,
Richard Jarasch goes about dressed
in single toga and tries in couture
and other ways To look as much as
possible like one of the ancient apos-
ties. lie has followed this nomadie
life for some time now and, though he
adds healing by herbs and natural
means TO his vocation, he has not been
molested by the authorities on the
continent.
Janasch is a glassblower by profess
sion. Had he continued at his trade
he would have been a physical wreck
He was advised by his doctor to seek
some outdoor employment. For farm
ing he was not strong enough, so he
entered on the nomadic life in emula-
tion of the ancient apostles of Christ.
He is described by the German press
as an eloquent preacher who draws
great mnltitudes, especially from the
working classes in large centers.

made a statement of his crime and

in these untoward days follows the

of the best friends nf this woman Of
former majesty is the captain of the
Thistle, who, though an Engishman,
invariably escorts her from the yacht
to the train at the end of a cruise,

kisses her hand with courtliness
worthy Of the days OF Louis XIV.
Though Eugenie is always treated in
