DRINKING IN HOT WEATHER.

One of the greatest difficulties grow
avoiding discomfort-and oftentimes
oisasJer-as a result of haste in person
al and the drinking of iced
beverages. The greatest discomfort
| arises from the latter, for the tempta-
| ton to allay thirst and To cool the body
too often oveicomes judgment in the
use of cooling drinks.
The Lancet. a medical journal. has
an article on this subject and some of
its ideas may We'll be reproduced as q
precaution to sweltering humanity. OBJ
viously, it says. the frs. %precaution is
ness as to allow plenty Of time to walk
from place to place. Then comes the
precaution about the use of alcoholic OF
cooling drink. This only increases per-
spiration. In time, especially if the
drinks are repeated, reaction, headache
and general lassitude ensue. Such a
regimen is as notifications as 1T is in
furious.
First of all we should strive to keep
cool by moving slowly; then we must
endure thirst and abstain from drink
while physically active. 1t is only when
we have reached a comparatively cool
place and car sit and rest for awhile
that we may venture to quench our
thirst.
All tha may be said in favor of tenn
perance and against strong alcoholic
drinks is doubly appropriate during the
very hot weather. Then more than ever
is a really good temperance drink ur-
gently needed.
The Lancet notices that there is a
larger demand for lemonade, or simple
lemon juice with plain water and sugar.
and this is a good symptom, for these
are the sort of drinks that will do no
harm during the hot weather. Tee is
likewise taking the place of strong
drinks, and the hotter it is the more re-
freshing the after effect-a fact which
is at last being recognized.
1t does not require a medical author
ity, however, to tell US what experience
fully demonstrates, that the greater the
action in using iced and cooling drinks
the greater the reaction in discomfort.

JeFFERson's EXPANSION VIEWS.

Democratic leaders are fond OF going

With equal pride they quote his fam

just one month after his retirement
from the Office of president of the Unit
ed States; mt it was by. him commun-
icated as a suggestion of policy in a
private letter to his successor, James
Madison. This is what he said:
That Bonaparte wou give US the
Floridas to withhold intercourse with
the residue of the lSpanishl colonies
cannot be doubted. But that is no
price; because they are ours in the first
m of the first war; and until a
war they are of no particular necessity
to us. But, altlo with difficulty, he will
consent to our receiving Cuba into our
Union, to prevent our aid to Mexico
n the other provinces. That would
be a price; and I would Immediately
erect a column on the So~uthernmost
limit of Cuba and inscribe on it a ne
plus ultra as to us in that direction.
We should then have only to include
the north in our confederacy, which
would be, of course, in the first war,

has always enjoyed going to the circus,

of the comic paper. How few people
can go to the circus today without an
excuse or a shame-faced admission?
And yet as the editor sat under the
Ringing canvas for two hours and a
half the other afternoon amused and
entertained every minute of the time,
he wondered why everybody seemed
ashamed of themselves for going to a
circus. 1t seemed to him and he freely
puts himself on record here that he saw

circus tent han he ever saw before at
any time or in any place.
The modern circus is as much differ

circus was merely a tramp show of
