1t has familiar appearance. We have
seen something like it before
Now if we weie to do as the republi-
can newspapers and republican orators
did fifteen years ago we would point to
that deficit and say it is proof that re-
publican rule is ruinous to the nation
and to the people; that it proves beyond
peradventure that the republican party
is incompetent to conduct the business
affairs of the nation in business like
manner; that this very unbusiness result
of republican misrule disturbs conf
dencc and unsettles business and pro-
duce panic; that IL people cannot prosper
when the nation itself not only can't
keep even, but actually runs behind in
times of profound peace, that business
disaster is the natural result of republi-
can misrule, extravaganza and incom-
potency; that the only way to restore
confidence is to vote the &. o. y. out of

HOT-WEATHER HINTS.

E at pairing and you will feel better.
Avoid black clothing. 1t tdraws the
heat.
Above all, avoid anger. Keep your
temper.
While eating less don't forget to
take plenty of exercise.
Avoid alcohol. Total abstinence is
best, sparing use of liquor imperative.
Easy shoes help to preserve the
temper and keep down temperature.
Remember, as little meat as possi-
BILE. Vegetables and cereals are best.
Liquor is bad. Cock tails or other
alcoholics even endanger life during
hot spells.
Another inveterate foe to comfort
in warm weather is the ice water so
universally used.
Persons often complain of suffer-
ing from heat when an overloaded
stomach is the only trouble.
Thin, loose. unlined garments of
light color go far toward insuring
comfort and health in summer.
If a child has any intestinal trouble
milk often acts Us an actual poison.
Cereals should be used instead.
Ice water is injurious when swal-
lowed in large quantities because of
shock to the nerves of the stomach
and the heart.
Rinse the mouth well and thirst
may be safely allayed, but swallow no
water below the temperature of a
natural spring.
Watch your diet. Cut out dark,
close, fatty meats, like beef tongue,
pork and ducks, and eat lamb, chicken
and all fish but salmon,
Nochild should be allowed todrink
coffee or tea under any circum-
stances. Soups are all right, but
pastry and pears are distinctly
dangerous.
The white stiffened linen or canvas
ventilated hat is the proper headgear
Stanley, the explorer, said that the
derby was an abOmination and the
straw hat not much better.
A CURIOUS barometer used in Ger
many and Switzerland consists of q
jar Of water with frog and a little
step-ladder in it When the frog came
out of the water and sit on the steps
it is said infallibly to foretell rain.
Another barometer, equally cur
ious. is found in the southern most
province of Chill. 1t consists of the
caSt-of shell of a crab. The dead
shell is white in fair, dry weather,
but the approach of moist atmos-
phere is indicated by the appearance
of small red spots. If the moisture
in the air increases sufficiently, the
shell becomes entirely red.
