Hot Weather Caution. ‘The advent of hot weather brings with it the usual crop of heat prostrations, caused, in many instances, by individual indiffer- ence to the ordinary precautions against such a misfortu To some natures, of course, the heat is overpowering despite all care, but to a majority of persons It is possible to avert sunstroke through the ob- servance of a few simple rules that have been repeated so often that their reitera- tien now is superfluous. The main princt- ple of mid-summer caution is the avoidance li excitement and unusual exertion, ially when exposed to the direct rays of the sun. There should be comparatively few cases of heat exhaustion in a city like Washington, with its miles of shade trees and its large expanse of parking. The asphalt pavements, to be sure, tend to con- centrate the heat at about two o'clock in the afternoon of hot days, but there are few persons who cannot manage to reduce to a minimum the necessities for exposed labor. Others who are forced to take the risk of prostration should, above all things, be temperate fn the use of drinks of all kinds. It is easier to advise abstention and ; July and August, from cooling liquids when the sun is near- ‘ing the hundred mark than it is to follow this advice, yet the warning is based upon actual experience, which shows that the drinking even of cold water when the | Weather is extremely hot is dangerous and leads often to fatal results. Especially is this true of all beverages in which alcohol occurs. Oatmeal water has been found to be one of the best thirst-quenchers in mid- summer, It is used exclusively by farm laborers, who must work in the open fieids exposed to the fiercest rays of the sun in and it is rare that one of them succumbs to the heat. It may not be as palatable as other drinks, but it would seem to b2 better to cultivate a taste for a cisagreeable but safe beverage than to suf- fer from sunstroke, with the ill eifects that it leaves as a legacy to the weakened sys- tem. see —__ The public will no doubt welcome a cut in the price of bicycles so warmly that it will not pause to ask any embarrassing questions as to the profits it must have when the same makes of wheel were > eo —____ whose congregations object the pulpit might study tne dai some of the conven- of a non-committal style. le soldiers continue men to poiitic orayers de jons as moilels If Spanish to desert it might be good raiship in Mr. Weyler to refrain from ling for more troops.

H. Warner, jr., was nominated the other day to be consul at Leipsic, and Mr. Wellington has announced his opposition to it. The facts are that the Maryland senator indorsed young Mr. Werner's ap- plication for a consulate most heartily, and Wrote several letters, which are on file, urging his appointment as consul at Sout an pton. The young man was named for Leipsic, which is not considered as important as Southampton; because Wellington did not specifically indorse him for that place, he is now threatening to defeat the nomina- tion. It is doubtful if Mr. Wellington can persuade the Senate to overthrow a nomi- nation of the President simply because the man he indorsed was appointed to a differ- ent consulate than the one he recom- mended. ———_+ ee _____ The Sensible Harpers All Dead.
