Princess Mand's Wheels.

■. /Princess Maud, the recently married <S*ughter of the Prince of Wales, must certainly be the ehvy of all those of her sex whose envy has been untempted by her other good fortune when they learn that among the presents £t her wedding were not less than, forty-eight bicycles. It is known that Princess Maud is. an enthusiastic wheelwoman. Besides the wheels the Princess was the recipient of several dozen motor carriages, some driven by steam, others by petroleum motors, compressed air «ind electricity. '

Gl^^ls^Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of aickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it Se the only remedy with millions es families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its lieneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you pur- , chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. 1 ' If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

Pistols and Pestles. ' • * 1 i ■. . The duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in the museum of the collector of relica of barbarism. The pistol ought to havo beside it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot like bullets at the target of the liver. But the pestle is still ’in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayeris sugar coated pills. They treat the liyer as a friend, not as an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on the theory that the liver does its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions aro removed, the livor will do its daily duty. When your liver wants help, get “the pill that will," Ayer’s Cathartic Pills.

A MONKEY PENMAN.

An Accomplished Simian Who Signs . a Bond to Keep the Peace. The re hpve been monkeys that could ride a bike, monkeys which wear clothes and eat with a knife and fork from a plate at the table, but Chicago comes to the front with a simian which gets arrested, just like any rounder, iind signs his own peace boiid. This monkey’s name is Virginia. Virginia is the property of Fouls Capra, an Italian organ grinder. While Capra ground away at the “org” Virginia besought:coppers from the passers-by,

THE MONKEY SIGNED HIS PEACE BOND

Tie thought lie had a particularly easy victim in Edward La wall, -a messenger boy, Edward-bad a fondness.for keeping his money, and so backed away when the monkey approached him. Virginia then took heroic measures. He climbed upon La wall’s neck and began to chew it as if messenger,boys were his best beloved meal. Capra, the organ and the monk were taken to a police court, jiiicl while "the evidence in the case was being taken Virginia mounted the desk and went through' the pockets of the Judge. Ha kept all the coin found theffe and carried it to his master. The greenbacks he threw awayC ,/ ’•Good Lord'" cried the Justice. “IT! ptit that creature under hand to keep the peace.’’ The bond was drawn and signed, aftd the inonk made his mark with as much serenity and dignity as -must have marked old John Hancock's signing of the Declaration of Independence.

SUNSHINE IS DEADLY

v* ! ’ ‘ - HUNDREDS ARE LAID LOW IN !. VARIOUS PLACES. » , Suffering in the Cities Is ttye Worst Ever Experienced —ln One Day Seventy-two Die in New York and a Score Perish in Chicago. _ r—> Slain by the Hot Snn. The whole of t'he United States has passed through its most remarkable meteorological experience for years. Excessive heat has combined with humidity to make the lot of man and beast almost unendurable. All records for eight years have been broken. In New York and Brooklyn Sunday seventy-two people were killed outright; in Chicago, 19; in St. Louis Saturday, 25; in Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit and other towns, lesser numbers, though the heat was intense. In addition to these, there Were thousands of prostrations, many of Which will terminate fatally. * The, suffering among the very poor of the cities hh's been,terrible. The following table shows Sunday's record: New York and Brooklyn .. ... ...... 72 Philadelphia 25 Baltimore : .* .19 Chicago r I<S Small Illinois towns 9 Cincinnati 3 Small towns in Indiana "3 Small towns in Ohio. 3 Boston 2 St. Louis 2 Pittsburg 1 Cleveland 2 Louisvilie 1_ San Antonio .-.. . .. 1 Sioux City J. 1 Vforst Since 1892. New York city lias ndt had such a succession of hot days and such lists of prostrations by the heat sipce 1892. In July of {hat year.hhe official thermometer registered'on tflfc 25th, 94; 26tb, ,96%; ,27th, 92t/4; 28th, 94; 29th, 95!4, and fell pn the 80th to 04. The humidity was high os well as the and the published list of prostrations' and fati*fc*gunstrokes rose to thirty-one deaths and ninety-two prostrations in New York; and Brooklyn on the 2Sth, and sixty-fifh deaths and 133 prostrations on the 29th. The feverish efforts of those who live in narrow and airless rooms to get sleep caused more than the usual number of persons to roil from roofs and fall from the balconiesjof fi re escapes. "

The hottest-day of the present protracted spell of fierce heat, and the most unbearable of all this summer, fell upon Philadelphia beginning at midnight Saturday, and bringing death to twenty-four persons and prostrations to an unusually large number. Men and women dropped exhausted in the streets and si few died there before help could reach them. Otheprxvere found dead hr -their beds, and still others succumbed while upder treatment in the wards of the various hospitals. Philadelphia has felt nothing like the present spell si life July, 1592, when for sevenkdays humanity sweltered and sickened under a temperature that fluctuated between Off aqd 102 degrees. Unabated heat dealt death to Chicagoans Sunday. Prostrations despite the quiet of the day, were reported ii" every quarter of the city. Two hours of lake breeze in thc~moming grappled with the rising temperature and choked it down until the afternoon, when it arose to 93, the nhnyiniiiin fur the day. Had it not been for this the prostrations earlier in the day must have been much greater. At midnight nineteen deaths from heat had been reported to the health department. The police cared for 01 cases of prostration, 17 of them resulting fatally. Most of the eases were reported in the afternoon. The police ambulances were taxed to their utmost to respond to the unusual number of calls which were made upon them, and the attendants at the hospitals had their hands full preparing ice compresses and other remedies necessary In earing for their patients. The deaths due to sunstroke reported to the health department for tquf days are as follows: Thursday® ....... 4 Sunday ........19 Friday 5 „rSaturday 8 Total for 4 days.3o For the entire corresponding week last year bat one fatal case of sunstroke was reported. The high death rate last week is charged by officials of the health department directly to the terrific heat and the high degree of humidity_in the atmosphere. It is much greater than last year s reed'd and confirms the belief of the department that for years Chicago has not suffered so greatly from the heat. The records for last week and the correspondiug week in 1895 are compared as follows: 1890. Deaths. Sunday. Aug. 2... 28 Monday, Aug. 3. 100 Tuesday.

Saturday the offi'eial thermometer recorded a continuous temperature of 99 degrees dilring nearly five hours. Qa Friday the record was nearly as high. Sunday the thermometer reached 90 degrees at 10 o'clock and attained its maximum of 98 degrees soon after 3 o’clock, remaining practically stationary until after 5 o'clock. At 7 o’clock in the evening the mercury had fallen to 93 degrees. There were forty-eight cases of prostration from heat Saturday, with eight deaths. Sunday, when no labor or manufacturing was in progress, there were eighteen prostrations and two deaths from the heat. The high temperature is leaving its mark upon the city’s morftility record. The normal rate is abotlt 200 deaths a week. Last week 273 burial certificates were signed. Had Sunday lieon a day of labor in Boston there would have been a long list of fatalities to record. It was, with one exception, the hottest day of the summer so far. and the beat was made more intensely uncomfortable by the fact that the humidity was very great. The hospitals Sunday night reported only two deaths,- The number of prostrations was very large. , ~ , In Cincinnati, the heat has caused many deaths, 'but there have been only two fatalities directly from sunstroke- The temt>erature bus !>oen in .the 90's for a week.

BRYAN’S TRIP EAST.

Crowds at tbe Stations Along: the Route to See the Nebraskan. W. J. Bryan, the Democratic presidential candidate, was the recipient of omoy demonstrations while en rohte from his home in Lincoln, Neb., to New York city to receive tbe official notification of his nomination. The trip was inaugurated under favorable conditions. It was a day of torrid temperature, but long before the time for the departure of the Bryan party the Rock Island depot platform ia Lincoln was crowded, apd when the carriage containing Mr. and Mrs. Bryan drove up a round of cheers went up from over 1,000 throats. From that time on until the train pulled out people jostled ench Other as they pressed around their fellow citizen and grasped his hand and wished him God speed. As the train drew away from the station a thousand fluttering handkerchiefs waved a parting adieu. On the second day of the trip the party left Des Moines at G:SO a. pi. Colfax was reached a few minutes before 8 o’clock and nearly 1,000 people were .wedged into the narrow space between the tracks. Many of them were miners with their lamps in caps. At Newton at 8:15 there were L2QQ to 1,500 enthusiasts on the platform. ■ They were so bent on cheering that it was with difficulty that Gen. Weaver succeeded in finally restoring order while Mr. Bryan made a brief speech. At loVa City a ten minutes’ stop was made and 1,000 people voiced their enthusiasm through the' medium of a brass hand. The crowd at Davenport followed to the hotel and stood in the parching sun until Mr. Bryan had finished his dinner, when he addressed them from the hotel porch. When Chicago was reached at 7:20 o'clock Saturday flight, there were nearly 10,000 people massed about the Rock Island station, anxious to catch a glimpse of the presidential candidate. Almost . 1,000 of these were members of the various silver organizations which went to makeup the procession that escorted Mr. Bryan to his hotel. The streets were filled with pimple anxious to see the nominee for President. Mr. Bryan bowed to the right and left continuously all the way to tlie ho'tel. When the Clifton. House finally was reached Mr. Bryan went immediately do the balcony, where’ the formal exercises were held. William J. Strong, the Republican chairman of the reception committee, delivered the address of welcome, and Bryan spoke to as many people as could crowd jn front of the hotel balcony. The party left Chicago Sunday night, continuing the trip east.

INSURRECTION AT CRETE.

The Unspeakable Turk Displays His Usual Atrocity. The powers having naval and commercial interests ih the Mediterranean are just now anxiously watching the struggle which has again recommenced between the Greek population of Crete or Candin, which trtt’er Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, is the largest island in that sea, and the forces of its sovereign, the sultan of Turkey. The prospects pf political independence, or, fa tiler, of eventual annexation to the kingdom of Greece, do not seem hopeful for the Greeks. The Turkish soldiery, by all accounts, have displayed in this island a remarkable decline of their old military quality, behaving like brigands, in cruel orgies of massacre, outrage and plunder.

ly appointed governor, Abdullah Pasha, has failed hitherto, if he has seriously endeavored, to check these savage practices, and live European consuls at Canea have jointly protested against them. It is admitted, on the other hand, that murders and other outrages have been perpetrated by some bands of Greek insurgents belonging to a rude highland race, and not subject to any discipline or nyUtary command. The state of affairs is very different in some districts, and at one end or side of the island from that which prevails at another, in the town of Cnnea, d well frequented port on the north coast, a Mussulman mob, supported by the Turkish soldiers, rioted and committed great excesses, killing the “kavasses” or chief guards of the Russian and Greek consuls.

Firing Cannon Under Water.

The most curious experiment ever mad 6 with a piece of ordnance was at Portsmouth, England. A stage wits erected in the harbor within the' tide mark, on this an Armstrong gun of the 110-pound pattern was mounted. The gun was then loaded apd cnrefuly alined at a target—all this, of course,'dur-ing-the time of low tide. A few hours later, when the gun and the target were both covered With water to a depth of six feet, the gun was fired by means of electricity. We said “aimedat a target,” but the facts are-that there were two targets, but only was erected for this special experiment, the other being the hull of an old vessel, the Griper, which lay directly behind the target and in range of the ball. The target itself was placed only twentyfive feet from the muzzle of the gun. It was composed of oak beams and planks, and was twenty-one inched thick. In order to .make; the ,old Griper invulnerable a sheet of boiler plates three inches thick was riveted to the water-logged hull in direct range with the course ol' the ball was expected to take if not deflected by the water. On all of these-7-the oaken target, the boiler plates and the old vessel hull—the effect of the shot from the submerged gun was really startling. The woodep target was pierced through and through, the boiler iron target was broken into pieces and driven into its" “backing,” the ball passing right op through both sides of the vessel, making a huge hole, through which the water poured in torrents. Taken altogether, the experiment was an entire success, demonstrating: as it did, the feasibility of placing submerged guns in harbors in tiipe of war and doing great damage to the vessels which an enemy might dispatch to such points for the purpose of shelling cities. —lnvention. ~ -

“They Never Touched It.”

To those worthy souls who every now and again start out to. annihilate the bicycle, we respectfully submit the following little boy’s story, which was told several years ago by the San Francisco Examiner, to illustrate some similarly impractical criiss.de: "One time there was a young gote wieh felt butty, and there was a ole. ram wieh lay in the road, half a sleep, a ehune his cud. The gote ho had been shet up in a paster ol hjs life, an bad never saw a ram, and he sed to his sister, the gote did, ‘You jest stan stili an se me wipe that ireek off the face of the erth.’ “So the gote he went up before the ram an’ stompt his feets an’ shake his head real friteful, but the ram he dident git up, but only jes kep a ehune his cud uind wotched out between bis 1 lashes. Bime by the gote he backed of and tuke a run, .am’ then arose up in the air an’ come down with his hed on the ram’s lied, wflek! The gote’s hed was busted, but the ole ram ho never wank his eye. Then the old ram he smiled with his mowth, an’ sed to the buttegote’s sister, ‘Bears to me, miss, that kangaroo of yourn is mity careless where he lites; he come gum dasted near makiii’ me swollen my cud.’ ”
