Last Wednesday 8. S. Gingrich sold from
his bakery in this place, fifty loaves of
bread within three hours. This is some-
thing unusual and especially in a town, the
size of this, but we feel justified in saying
that this demand was entirely due to the

New Zealand has in its eidelweiss a

In 6 per cent. of the north Italian

According to the anthropologist,

Distilling seems to be profitable in
Russia. A Moscow firm, “Widow
Popova,” has distributed $1,200,000
rubies as dividends for the year 1900
on a capital of 500,000 rubies.
The street-car conductors in Wies-
baden are subject to fines for breach
of regulations. Tor driving too fast
a fine of 30 pfennigs (6 cents); for
talking to other employes, 50 pfennigs
(11 cents) and for not waiting for
trailer connection 20 pfennigs (4

the Wiesbaden street-car service
leaves much to be desired.
Taxation in Norway is becoming op-
pressive, and living expensive in pro-
portion. An example will illustrate
this: Two banks having the same
capital and doing about the same
amount of business pay taxes at the
rate of 6,000 and 65,000 kroner ($1,440
and $15,740) per annum respectively.
The former of these two institutions
is in central Europe, the latter in Nor-
way.
HOT WEATHER SENSE.
Walk slowly.
Carry a sun umbrella if it adds to
your comfort,
Follow the shady side of the street
where possible.
Don’t eat heartily of meats—it is
like putting coal in the furnace.
Don’t hurry. There is more “heat-
ing up” in three minutes of haste
than in an hour of leisurely proceed-
ing.
Cut the acquaintance of the ther-
mometer. Discourage talk about the
weather, and if you must think.of it
—think of Peary!
In torrid weather wear clothing
suitable to a torrid climate—as light
and as little as the conventions and
circumstanees will permit.
I'ree perspiration seldom hurts any-
one. The pores are nature's safety
valves. It is “dry heat” or the sud-
den checking of the sweat that is
dangerous.
Don’t drink “cool” alcoholic bever-
ages under the idea that they will re-
duce your temperature or that of the
atmosphere. You are simply adding
fuel to the fire. Paradoxical though
it may sound, hot drinks are in the
end often more cooling than cold
drinks.

Viscount Katsura, distinguished him-
self in the Chinese war by winning

A French company has organized a
