SOME CRUMBS OF COMFORT
Those of Us Who SHELTERED in the
Dog Days May Find Little
Consolation Here.

For those of US who are forced to-
spend most of our summers in cities
there are a few consoling thoughts,
remarks a writer in the Atlantic
Monthly. One is that the severesti
heat does not prompt men to crime,
as the social statisticians have found
that the severest cold does. Another
is that the worst temperature we are
called upon to face falls a long way
short of the endurance limit of the
human body and brain, as proved by
French experiments at the $50 degree
level. Another comes from the dis
covery through the newspapers, with
every prolonged hot wave, that we are
breaking the record in some line
or other This ought to be stimulus
to our pride, and If we wish to carry
further the beneicent influence of
mental suggestion, all we need to do
is to compare what is happening to US
with what has happened to various
other people at various other times.
For instance, when the encyclopedias
tell US that in A. D. 627 the heat
in France and Germany dried the wa
ter sources and a multitude of people
died of thirst; that in the battle of
Bella, in 1860, more soldiers were
killed by the sun than by the weapons
of the foe; that in 1903 three great
rivers of western Europe went dry,
and that in Odessa, in 1889, the noon
temperature reached 144 degrees and
sunshade was necessary at five in
the morning, we are bound to con-
clude that we are not so badly OFF,
after all.

Temple for Worshlpers of Isis.

While taking stroll on the fortifi-
cations above Genoa, l was considera-
bly, surprised to find myself face to
face with a very curious little build
ing. l could not help exclaiming to
my companion, Have we been trans
ported by magic to the banks of the
Nile?" Curious to know the history
OF this construction, which has all the
air of an Egyptian temple, made in
quiries in the neighborhood, and was
informed that it had been erected
some ten or twelve years ago by the
members of strange society, sup
posed to be worshipers of Isis, and
that they used to meet there every
Thursday and Sunday. These gather
ings lasted only for six months, for,
as is usual with such little sects, the
society came to an early end through
lack of funds. After remaining empty
for some time the building was taken
over by wineshop keeper, but he,
too, had i'll success, and was COM
PEELED to close his doors. Had the
wine seller opened such building as
this on the Boulevard de Cichy at
Montmarte, side by side with some
of the eccentric cafes of Paris, he
could not have failed to make a for
tune.-Wide World Magazine.

Lucky for Him.

THE wolves were upon u.s." he re-
lated to the girl he was trying to
impress. Their bowling penetrated
to our very marrow. We fled for our
lives. But each second we knew that
the ravenous pack was gaining on u.s.
Closer, closer-at last they were so
close that we could feel their muzzles
against our legs, so that"
"Ah," sighed the lady, greatly re-
lieved, how glad you must have been
that they had their muzzles on!"-

When it was first said last April
that horseracing was to be resumed
In the state of New York, Col. Frank

''Horseracing," he said enthusiastic
caliy, lis great and glorious thing.
