Thursday wasa very warm day, uncomfortably, so in some places for the time of year. 1 i Chicago the air was mild and inviting, the temperature reach­ ing a maximum point of 73 degrees, and standing at 04 degrees at the hour of the evening observation, both figures about 35 degrees above the normal for the third decade of the month of March, Spring- field just touched fourscore; St. Louis reached-82, Kansas City came two ahead with 84. and in Dodge City and Wichita, f Kas., .the inhabitants ftfntfcd themselves and kept off the dies, with the thercury at 88 and IX) degrees 'respectively. Throughout the 'central region: as "far south as the southern line of Kansas the temperature ranged from 20 to 35 degrees above the normal. BEST IN THE WORIiD.

Occasional resort to liipans Tubules prevents attacks that result from disorders of the stomach and liver. To preserve is better and cheaper than to repair.

Three types at least are observable in tile south of Ireland: First, the dark Italian-looking Celt, also found in Devon; secondly, the tall, yellow- haired Danish type; and, thirdly, the aboriginal Aryan of the Volga, with red or auburn hair and blue or green eyes, who may also be found in Corn­ wall. The dark aquiline type of Wales dif­ fers - considerably from that of the Irish, and the Irish kmgnage-is- 110aiw akin to Cornish than to Welsh. The traditional Irishman of caricatures is not often seen in the south, though this type is not unknown even among the upper classes. The soft features and bright eyes of the modest peasant women present many varieties of beauty, and the min­ gled race of Cork and Kerry--fairer as a rule than that of the far west--is as vigorous as any in Scotland or in Yorkshire.--Blackwood's Magazine.
