Below. a waste of sizzling st )ne.
The wind, a watt of blighting heat
Along that furnace-fue. the street,
In dusty eddies whirled again
Brings no relief to painting men.
The asphalt, soft as viscid lead.
Reveals the print Of every tread.
Now Fashions naught and Comforts all:
The lOng-fOrgotten paraSOl
To guard the cautious. ford head
OF middle-age-and no one jeers;
The collar willis and disappears:
The headgear SIN ackS OF ranch and farm;
The coat is worn upon the arm;
The waiScOat cen the fOp diSdainS,
And glad, unbuttOned freedom reigns.
The horses wear unstylish hats;
Yet, nice old beauS in snowy SpatS
Behind the clubhouse window. clean,
Correct, new Shaven, gaze serene
Through monOcle and julep-gass
Upon the humid thrOngs that pass
And make one own. with panied regret
How dOOcid vulgar It's to sweat:
All hail the breezy palm-leaf fan.
All hail the hockey -pOkey man!
The buttermilk dispensing maid!
All hail the "ice-cOld lemOnade!'
With kerchiefed throat and measured stride
We pace the cherished shady side.
Observing Summers golden rule,
AS we'll as mortal may0 Keep COOL"
While wOnted conversation flags.
Along the cityS fervid flags.
For human speech seems quite forgot

relieved the New York Security and
Trust company Of q huge block Of
securities OF the New Orleans Trac-
ton company. This was done to en-
able the Security and Trust COM
pany to merge with the Continental
Trust company, which had objected
to the holding. This little favor cost
the insurance company $326.OOO Of
policy holders money.
1t further developed that millions
Of dollars OF non ledger assets were
not recorded in the company's books
but simply on cards, and that the
ownership OF these assets was not re-
ferred to in the company's sworn re-
port OF it's condition.
There were other queer matters
revealed during the days lifting OF
the lid /; but these are enough to indi-
cate that even in the great state Of
New York, state regulation of life
Insurance does not regulate. Like
other recent revelations, the result
of the present inquiry gives force to
President Roosevelt's proposition
that federal regulation OF life insur-
ance IL reform To be desired and

fore " large number OF interested
eastern railway officials. 1t ran from
Omaha to Valley, Nebraska, and re-
turn, carrying fifty-seven persons,
mostly railway officials, reaching Il
maximum speed OF fifty-two miles
an hour. The return trip was made
in six minutes less than is taken by
the overland limited, the Union Pa
cifie's best train. The first car was
built for experimental purposes, but
this and others Of the same pattern
now In course OF construction are
built for regular service The test
was most successful one and may
result in II general adoption Of this
style of car for branch and suburban
business by all the railroads OF the
country. 1t is built entirely of steel
and is equipped with every modern
convenience. 1t is much lighter than
wood constructed cars.

THE statistics recently given out
by the labor bureau at Washington
deserve consideration. The fair con-
clusion from Il study Of these statis-
tics il that the cost of living Is rela-
lively higher now than it was few
years ago, and that the upward tend
ency OF prices Of the necessaries Of
life Is more pronounced than the up
ward tendency Of the compensation
for labor. Perhaps 1t would be ex-
pecting too much TO hope that some
government bureau would be able to
determine exactly the average cost
of living at any one time or the aver
age wage Of labor; but the figures
given out are as accurate as it will
be possible to secure.

Insanity Among Negroes.

The State: A pure food campaign
food products to be on their guard
that they be not caught in the drag
net that the dairy and food commits
sion are drawing over the state. Law
enforcement, temperance agitation
and political reforms of various
kinds may all have their benefits
but none of these is SO vital to socie-
ty or affects SO imD ediately the
health and welfare of the people as
the character of the food they eat.
Where competition is SO keen the
temptation to gain little advantage
by adulterating n food product be-
comes very strong and it requires a
more and more yigilant and persist
ent public inspection bureau to Keep
in check the mischievous Business of
unprincipled manufacturers and
merchants. The public health is far
and away the highest consideration
and those who would undermine it
for the sake of n little gain are de-
serving of no mercy. All good citi-
zeus will endorse the work of the
state dairy and food commissioner
and although Mt times an apparently
blameless retail dealer may be made
TO pay the penalty for violation IL
is hoped the pure food laws will be
relentlessly enforced.
