NEW YORK SITUATION.

Commenting editorially on the hot
spell in the metropolis the New York
Tribune says:
The most unusual trait of the pres
ent period of hot weather is its contin.
uance In July and August is to be ex-
pected that the mercury will reach the
SOS often, but it seldom does so for
more than two or three days in sue
cession Interruptions, even short, or
dinarily give suffering humanity a
chance to recover from the effects of the
heat. No such opportunity has been. af.
uforded in this city for week. The pres
ent hot spell began last Saturday, when
the highest temperature recorded BY the
government observer was s. degrees.
Since that time the Thermometer has
occasionally evinced slightly more am
bilious disposition than it did then, but
at no time has the daily maximum fall
len short of that which was noted a
week ago. To some extent the influence
of such weather is cumulative. Persons
who are vigorous enough TO withstand
the first onset not infrequently suceumb
after prolonged siege. This fact should
serve as warning to those who are
tempted to exercise activity or to ex.
pose themselves needlessly to the sun.
shine.
The prevalence of extreme humidity
at this time of year is, of course, to be
expected In dog days and for con-
siderable interyel previous thereto there
is likely to be higher baromertic pres
sure over the ocean than over CONT
nent. This contrast has been especially
noticeable during the last few days;
and, as there is always steady move
ment of air from a high pressure area
to low one. the breeze on the Middle
Atlantic coast has come almost steadily
from the southeast. That great vapor
generator. the Gulf Stream. is not so far
away that it cannot contribute to the
store of invisible moisture that is watt
ed gently inland. 1t has undoubtedly
enhanced the discomfort of the resi-
dents of the metropolis and its suburbs
during the greater part of the current
week. Owing to slight change in the
direction of the wind yesterday the air
came off the land and was little drier
than it had been. simultaneously, how
ever, there was a slight rise in the tenn.
perature which Offset the diminution in
humidity. So far as actual comfort was
concerned, therefore, there was no rea-
son for eongratulation.

Advice to the Young.

Speak kindly to the elephant
And gently to the whale.
And when you meet the iaguar
Please do not yank his tail.
Respect the tigers feelings, dear,
His whiskers do not pull.
0, let our hearts with kindness
Be'ever, ever full.
0, do not pinch the python
Or punch the rattlesnake
If you should hurt the cobra
His little heart would break.
Don't stick pins in the crockodile
Or irritate the yak:
Pray do not bruise the polar bear
BY pounding on his back.
Don't make the lion cry, my child.
BY walking on his toes;

Dignifed, divinely tall,
Others much prefer her small.

a thousand wild blossoms freight the
mellow evening atmosphere. In such
environs is Powell happy. He alone
fully appreciates Natures charms-he
