Self Murder Ia Hot Weather.

1t has, long been a matter of OBJ
servation that protracted hot spell
is always marked by many suicides.
The vital forces run low in hot
weather, the brain is frequently af-
fected by the heat, physical weak
ness and prostration are common
and life loses many of its attrac-
tions. The result is an increase of
suicide, which diminishes as the
temperature falls, the atmosphere
becomes purified and vitality, ener-
81 and ambition return.

M Mastication,

If your tendency is to gulp down
food like porridge and Vegetables,
quite wet, the obvious remedy is to
eat them in a dry state, or else eat
with them alternate mouthfuls of
dry bread or cracker. A cracker is
admirable to induce mastication, for
the reason that it compcls one to eat
slowly. The tendency to moisten
the food continually while eating in
some artificial way is responsible for
much rapid eating and imperfect
mastication.

How to Punish Bad Husba nds.

Club women who are conscientious
as to their duty to the community are
respectfully asked to consider the pos

written by clergyman to wOman's
club Of his city. in which he earnestly
begs them to devise some effective
practical means for Furnishing bad hus-
bands. But what are bad husbands?
AS basis for club discussions, the
subject Is endless, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly. For instance man
has been recently divorced by his wife
because he insisted upon her adherence
to vegetarian diet, for which she
had no fancy, being carnivorous
woman. Coming before a club for in.
vestigation, the assumption would be
that the man preferred vegeta bles to
his wife. The question would then
arise-as the companionshlp Of some
people might be quite as inspiring as

DAMAGE N IOWA.
Rivers and Streams Overflow
Their Banks and Spread Des-
olation Far and Wide.

Des Moines, Ia, July IL. - The
food situation reached it's most alarm
ing stage in the history of the city
early in the morning. The Des Moinea
river was 81 feet above low water mark
at 7 o'clock, having risen three feet in
less than ten hours. 1t is still rising
rapidly. The flood is at the highest
point since 1851, when the river was
six feet deep over what is now occupied
by thousands of residences, business
houses and factories. At that time the
river was but one foot higher than at
present, and it isevident the old record
will soon be broken. Only levees pro-
tect all this district, and in two score
places they have either broken or given
way.
Des Moines, Ia, July I0.-The con-
tinued rains have forced nearly all Iowa
streams from their banks and the de-
struction of crops. livestock and other
property is assuming immense proper
tions. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage from the indefinite reports re-
ceived. The damage is especially ex-
tensive in the central, northern, western
and southwestern parts of the state
The valleys of the Sioux and Maple
rivers are flooded and Woodbury. and
Monona counties are under water.
The Iowa river at Marshalltown is the
highest since 1881. Many country
bridges have been destroyed. Cattle
and hogs have been drowned in large
numbers in the Iowa valley.
At Cedar Rapids 81 inches of rain
has fallen since July l. The Cedar
river is out of its banks, and many fam.
lies have been forced from theft homes
Numerous bridges have been swept
away in Lynn county.
The Skunk river and >quaw creek are
out of their banks, and near their con.
huence in Storey county thousands OF
acres are flooded and crops practically
destroyed
The continuous rains are paralyzing
business in Fort Dodge, and the rail
roads are almost out Of business. The
west end of the city is inundated and
families are moving out. The Des
Moines river is up six feet at that point

Steeple-climbing is in truth dark
business" says the Boston Transcript,
for 1t Is the custom of experts to make
the first ascent. and place the rigging
at night. Then when the townspeople
wake, they are amazed at finding the
steeple conquered. The man who
makes \ success Of steeple-climbing
must be determined, persistent and in
genious. He must solve many prac-
teal problem in hosting great bodies
aloft. He must know how to fasten .
hook over the top Of a sky-scraping
chimney. He must have the nerve to
paint a steeple that sways like a pen
dulum 1T the slender top. He must
be able to tear down, build up, GID,
paint, place electric wires and do many
another task that would be q problem
on the solid earth.
There are many ways of getting up q
steeple. and when all others fail. the
mAn will tie rope round 1t, and then.
with coil on his back. walk round and
round 1t until the entire steeple Is COW
cred with rope. and he has probably
been round 1t fully 800 times.
But a steeple is not the most difficult
height to climb. Straight. tall chin
neys are the hardest Of all. There u
man has to work with might and main.
to lift himself inch by inch from the
ground to the top. Sometimes the top
Is 300 feet high. When it is reached
a hook Is placed over the edge, a pulley
is made fast. the swinging chair is
hauled up and work begins.
When the chair Is near the top it Is
easier to work. because the ropes are
short; but when they lengthen, as the
ground Is approached. there is ten
dency to swing; and the wind gives
impetus.
The mans safety depends upon the
hook, and until he has raised himself
almost to the top, it is impossible for
him to see whether or not the hook
has been properly adjusted More than
once Il steeple-climber has seen, when
within ten feet of the top. that cor
rosiOn of the iron and the collection OF
SCOT has SO thickened the wall that the
hook Is merely balancing on the top, so
that the slightest pull in the wrong di-
rcction would drag it off Again. the
bricks are often loose at the top, and
the hook is likely to tear them away.
One of the natural difficulties to con-
Quer is the swaying of all high steepes
and chimneys. In gale a steeple point
will sway foot and half. Usually it
swayS from seven to nine inches.
Painting it means reaching for a spot
on the right side, and finding it on the
left, and when making a dive for it
on the left. to see it sway back to the
right. Yet in spite of the constant dan
ger, born steeple-clmber eXults in his
work, and Is at home only when high
above the world. He can stand tri-
umphant at any height if he can have
two and a half square inches to bear
his weight.

A NEW RAILROAD
MAY Be: BUILT IN THE COPPER
RIVER COUNTRY.
Party of Mining Experts and En-
gineers Will Look Over Ground
With View of Building Into the
Interior of Alaska From Coast,
Conditions Warranting.

Seattle, July 9.-With a party of
mining experts and engineers Frank NJ.
Stone, of New York, will sail for the
Copper River valley shortly to look
over the ground with a view to railway
building into the interior of Alaska
from the coast. 1t is understood that
the plans Of the promoters include the
formation of Il mining and trading COM
pany to operate in the Copper river and
Tanana valleys. The Eastern capital
lists who are interested in the enterprise
are sending Mr.. Stone personally to
make investigation and confirm reports
which they have received from their
own prospecting and exploring parties.
In the party will be Col. J. W. Suther-
land, well-known as an Alaskan explor-
err, and Col. Oliver Roberts, who is
mining expert OF note.
Mr.. Stone is known through the
West as mining man. Az different
times he has had extended interests in
Colorado, Oregon and other states of
the Rocky mountains and coast. He
represents financial interests in New
York and because of his knowledge of
mining and railroading is sent to deter
mine finally whether the building of
such road would be wise financial
undertaking. To aid him in forming
an opinoin upon which the promoters
may rely he takes the mining experts
to determine the value of the mineral
deposits, to aid in the selection Of a
route and to examine properties in
which the company is interested. A
stay of three months at least will be
made in the interior. The party goes
we'll provisioned and QUILTED and will
take number of horses on which to
pack the stores in from Valdes. Only
in a general way has the line of rail-
way been decided upon. 1t is the in
tention to build through to the Yukon,
and it is possible that route down the
Tanana maybe selected.
