MANIN, . c'her No.he INDIAN SUMMER. Its Haze and Warmth Due to the "Aerial Gulf Stream." Formerly the smol- :: and the somewhat greater degree of warmth and other characteristics of "1ndian summer" were thought to be caused by mountain fires or the burning of fallen leaves. Scientists have now proved, however, that the haze and increased warmth are due to the annual forma tion of what has been called the "ae rial gulf stream," or "vapor plane." This high current, generated in equa torial seas by ascending masses of vapor charged air, flows northward through the upper atmosphere. over sweeps the southern and gulf states azid descends toward the earth or ocean as it approaches New England and Canada on its journey toward the po lar circle. In the afternoon and night, when the earth throws off the heat re ceived during the day, especially in the autumn weeks. when the temperature is declining and the capacity of the air to receive and hold moisture is on the decrease, the presence of this mantle arrests radiation. Covering the re maining vegetation and harvest with a shield, it protracts the grain ripening period to meet the necessities of the higher latitudes. It has been shown that the first re corded appearance of the term "Indian summer" was in 1794. It seems to have been well known and recognized at that time. In New England it was supposed that the term came from the prevalanuce of the southwest winds, which, the Indians thought, were sent as a mark of favor by their peculiar deity. Coutanowoit. However, in many parts of the United States it was the Indians'especialhuntingseason. Among the Indians of the northwest It was the period between the gathering and stor ing of summer supplies and the selec tion of winter quarters in the haunts of the large game; hence it was the period of migration. The term "Indian summer" has been adopted by English speaking peoples throughout the whole world. The season is well defined in England. It -is peculiar also to central Europe. In the old world as well as the new it is characterized by dry fogs, a glowing sky, absence of heavy rain and mild temperature. In England its early name was "All hallow sMmmer," in Wles and Bel gium it is known as "St. Michael's summer," in Germany as "St Gall's summer" and the "summer of old women," in Bohemia as "St. Wences laus' summer," in Sweden as "St. Bridget's summer" and in Lombardy as "St Theresa's summer." Indian summer is especially noticeable in' the far northwest of this continent. In Vancouver and other portions of Brit ish America there is a second growth of verdure lasting until after Christ mas.

Africans Wash, but Never Wipe. Great attention is given in most of| the Africhn tribes to the care of the' body. The teeth are cleansed with a stick which has been chewed into a kind of brushi. The hands are washed frequently, not by turning and twist ing and rubbing them together one within the other, as with us, but by a straight up and down rubbing, such as is given to the other limbs. This man ner of washing is so characteristic that an African might be distinguished by it from a European without reference to the color. The sun is their only towel.

The mania for gambling in all its forms prevails generally in New York. The people bet on everything. For every loser there is a winner, so that it is simply another case of changing hands. - The Municipal Ownership League, W. Randolph Hearst President, J. G. Phelps Stokes Vice President, is beginning an active campaign to repeat the Chicago Dunne victory here. At the big Cooper Union meeting addressed by Hearst, Dunne, Shearin, Phelps Stokes, Tom Watson and others it was gen erally conceded that Watson made the best speech tiery filled with enthusiasm: Watson is pos sessed of the Southern oratori cal gifts and knows how to use them to advantage. The great Pennsylvania Rail road Station now being built on Manhattan Island is well under way, the New York Central is to try to eclipse it and work will begin soon on its temporary sta tion, to cost $2000,000 when com pleted, the present palatial one will be wrecked and the finest in the world erected in its stead. The Equitable Life fight is. still on with no early prospect of a settlement as the matter has now been brought into the courts and readers know that this means endless litigation. Coney Island is opening up for the season many new attractions and ere many days the millions will flock there as heretofore for recreation, revelry and devil ment. Coney Island is the most popular sum'cfer resort on the globe and more people visit it than any place in the world. Thompson & Dundy's new Hip podrome has been completed and opened. The receipts the first night were $30,000 and hundreds turned away. This mammoth enterprise is on 6th Avenue and 45th Street, in heart of New York. The race tracks are opening for the season. "Playing the ponies," is -popular, men and women and children stake their last dime on the races. The many lose, the few win and pocket for times, has always been so, and probably will always be. Hearst, with his -papers, is in the fight to defeat Tammany and a more exciting municipal elec tion has never been witnessed than is promised this fall. Judge Seaburg will likely lead the Hearst faction for Mayor and some lively times are ahead. McClellan will be the Tammany candidate-with Jerome prob ably at the head of the Citizens Union ticket. The Bishop Potter incident has died out. The Bishop must not be looked upon longer as the mouthpiece of the great Epis copal church on outside matters, as one of the clergy recently ex pressed it, he represents him self only on these public ques tions. J. G. Phelps Stokes, the young millionaire philantropist, has announced his betrothal to Miss Harriet Pastor, once a humble East Side Jewish girl, employed in a cigar factory, earning eight dollars per week, later develop ing into a writer of note in the Jewish Daily News. Miss Pastor, like Stokes, is interested greatly in benevolent work among the poor, and as has been, said, she is above any religion, her faith being "humanity."

The Greatent of All the Mistreumeu of thec White Houue. To define the charm of a charming woman is always diffcult. Dolly Mad Ison's features were not regular, nor was her figure perfect. She was not witty, nor was she wise, and she par ticipated little if at all in her hus band's intellectual life. Nevertheless she stands out as the greatest of all mistresses or the White House, and her popularity was unbounded. she ruled over her world In Washington with genial good natfire and instine ive tact. Her nature was warm, af fectionate and impressionable. She loved life and people, and her world loved her. Her brilliant coloring, ani mated face and well rounded figure went with a cordial manner and a sym pathy for those about her ariounting to genius, and she was always ready to bubble into laugh'ter. Who could resist such a woman, the wife of a president? She was the cen ter of observation at the Inaugural ball, but she would have been the cen ter of observation at any ball even if she had not been the president's wife. She had, in fact, ruled as Indisputably over the little boarding house in Phila delphia kept by her mother when she was the Widow Todd as she did over the W~hite House as Mrs. Madison.

An Interesting Tonsorial Operation by the Famous Whistler. "Amazing!" the favorite ejaculation of the brilliant and eccentric artist, James MacNeill Whistler, is the word which seems best to fit the curious combination of person.al peculiarities mischievous wit, tricksy jests, gay quarrels, harmless vanities and remark able artistic performance-revealed in Mr. Mortimer Menpes' recent recollec tions of his "Master." The eccentrici ties of Whistler's character were matched by those of his appearance, for he never dressed like anybody else, and he had, just over his left eye, a single lock of white hair amid a mass of black curls. His own interest in his appearance was great, for he re garded the composition of costume and coiffure with the same seriousness which he would have bestowed upon the composition of a picture, and in deed the result was unmistakably pic turesque. "Customers ceased to be interested in their own hair," says Mr. Menpes of Whistler's entrance into a barber's shop. "Operators stopped their manip ulations; every one turned to watch Whistler, who himself was supremely unconscious. His hair was first trim med, but left rather long, Whistler meanwhile directing the cutting of every lock as he watched the barber in the glass. He, poor fellow, only too conscious of the delicacy of his task, shook and trembled as he manipulated the scissors. The clipping completed, Whistler waved the operators imperi 'usly on one side, and we observed for some time the reir view of his dapper little figure, stepping backward and forward, surveying himself in the glass. Suddenly he put his head into a basin of water, and then, half drying his hair, shook it into matted wet curls. With a comb he carefully picked out the white lock, wrapped it in a towel and walked about for five minutes, pinching it dry, with the rest of his hair hanging over his face-a stage which much amused the onlookers. "Still pinching the towel, he would then beat the rest of his hair into ring lets (combing would not have given them the right quality) until they fell into decorative waves all over his head. A loud scream would then rend the air. Whistler wanted a comb. This procured, he would comb the white lock. Into a feathery plume and with a few broad movements of his hand form the whole into a picture. Then he would look beamingly at himself in the glass and say but two words, 'Menpes, amazing!' and sail triumphantly out of the shop." For a Weak Digestion.

Bobby Burns' associations with Car lisle were of an active personal char acter, as there are interesting anec dotes to prove. It was at Carlisle that he fell into the company of three farm ers, and in the course'of their conviv iality the farmers agreed with Burns to try their hand. at versemnking, and all four deposited. half a crown on the table for the one who wrote the best. Burns, by the way, on entering the room was welcomed by the others as "Johny IPeep." What the farmers wrote is not known, but the following was Burns' production, and of course he lifted the "siller:" I, Johnny Peep, Saw three fat sheep, And these three sheep saw me; Half a crown apiece Wil pay for their lieece, And so Johnny Peep goes free.

We need not have recourse to such sto ries as that of Lorenzo Dow, who per formed "the shortest sermon on rec ord." His subject was "Backsliding," and what might be called the body of his sermon consisted in his climbing up a smooth sapling with great pains and difficuty and the sliding down again. An immense concourse of people had assembled to hear him, and great was their astonishment at witnessing this performance. The only words luttered were, "Hold on there, Dow; hold on." Trhen he slid down again, put on his hat and left. The Right Name is DeWitt.. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cools, soothes and heals cuts, burns, boils, bruises, piles and all skin diseases. K. E.
