July 20. "We are request ed to state." said the Times on Thurs day, "that the tall hat and frock coat, which had hitherto been recognized as the costume for Sandown Park, on the occasion of the royal visit, may be dis pensed with tomorrow and Saturday In favor of the straw hat and other costume more suited to the present trop ical weather." A few days of intense heat have done more to break down the established tra ditions of England than would a dozen reform bills. Long established rules of state, social, business and political etiquette have been swept to the winds, or rather Into the humidity which the lack of wind produces. In a land where a few years ago sunstroke was almost unknown, the hospitals are now crowd ed with cases of that description. ' For the first time In the history of parlia ment one of the front bench mem bers, Herbert Gladstone, has. appeared at St. Stephens wearing a straw bat. to the amazement of the members of the house. Royalty, driven to desperation by the hottest weather England has ever known, and obliged to appear In publio functions, has completely dis carded the usual forms of dress. Lord Ronald Cowers' annual letter to the Times, inveighing against the tall hat. Instead of: being a useless pro test, this week voices public opinion with remarkable ; unanimity. Well known men of fashion' are frequently to be seen at the West End wearing white duck or flannel trousers with Immaculate frock coats and silk hats. This latitude of dress extends also to servants. Bepowdered flunkies, thick with gold lace, may be seen gravely sitting upon the boxes wearing sailor hats of varying pattern, and fashion able nurses have given up the hot veil and bonnet in favor of the light straw bead gear. In brief, this metropolis of the world, with bis. countless arbi trary forms of dress and procedure, bas. In ' the short space of a week, been turned topsy turvy. The serious phase of the matter Is the rapidly increasing death rate and the prophecied continuation of the hot wave. The papers never tire of point ing out how utterly inadequate are the provisions to deal with the present con ditions. Ice is a luxury obtainable by the rich only, and by them in limited quantities. For the poor there is no alleviation, not even the opportunity to bathe. The idea of flooding the heated streets has not yet dawned upon England's municipality. The supply of facilities at the London hospitals to deal with heat prostrations Is absurd ly inadequate. Hence it is small won- Is due to an acid poison which gains access to the blood through failure of the proper rgan to carry off and keep the system dear of all m rrbid, effete matter.

Inside buses, etc., never well ventilated, can now only be de scribed as sweat boxts. What with the Christian Endeavor thousands permeating London this week, the American Invasion may be said to have reached its zenith. Scarce ly any event connected with American enterprise has created such general In terest. In England aa the proceedings at Alexander Park. The Bishop of London, Right Rev. Dr. Mandell Cretghton, while facing the thousands that waited to hear him speak, turned to one of the Americans that was on the platform and said: "How wonderfully you do things In America." The transportation of such an im mense contingent, so many thousands of miles, has tremendously Impressed all prominent Englishmen who have come Into contact with the delegates. Another class of visitors to London attracting attention on the streets is the men of the United States training ship Saratoga who have come up on leave from Southampton. Commenting on these the Chronicle says: 'They go about In twos and threes and conduct themselves' to the admir ation of all, although there Is no officer in charge." This Is In striking contrast with the behavior of many English bluejackets. The Saratoga goes to Calais, when the) apprentices will have a chance to see , Paris. ' ' I English harbors are dotted with Americaa yachts. At Southampton ! alone are the Josephine. Enterprise, I Calanthe and Edimyon. Prominent Americans are here in such large numbers as almost to cease! to attract attention. William C.

Henrv PhlDDs. Andrew I prunes. Carnegie's partner, has taken Beaufort Castle, Lord Lovat's splendid place In Scotland, till October, when Lord Lo - vat, who Is In South Africa.-pxpects to return. Beaufort Is noted as one of the finest deer-stalking grounds In the United Kingdom. W'ith reference to the publiahej bint that he had become naturalize as a subject of Great Britain, Mr. I'hi&px said to the correspondent of tha Asso ciated Press: 'I have not the least intention of becoming a British subject. I simply want a nice place to stay until the summer Is over." In view of the wars In which the world Is engaging, a curious and al most pathetic Interest attached to the meeting this week of the Parliamen tary Union for the Promotion of Inter national Arbitration. Philip James Stanhope, member of parliament for Burnley, presided. Forty members of the British legislature expressed a will ingness to attend the International ar bitration conference In the hall of the French annate July 31. Between 400 and 500 members of various European parliaments will on that occasion be received by President Loubet. The English delegation Includes Lord Kln naird and Sir Albert Rollit. One of the most touching Incidents m 2Wl. tnrougn tne general circulation is deposited in the joints, muscles and nerve, causing the most intense pain. Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthy, active person helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves ; or it may be slow in developing, with alight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable ; the ten dency in such cases is to grow orse, and finally become chronic. Like other blood diseases, PJieumatism is often inherited, and exposure to damp or cold, want of proper food, sufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to develop m L n0t U miduIe Ke or er. In whatever form, whether acute or chronic, other external treatment can reach' the trouble. .Neither do the preparations of potash the various mineral salts, which the Anrtnn atmin nrMrriho Mir RHmmntliitn hut information or advice wanted, so write them of the war In South Africa occurred this week, when Captain Towse receiv ed the first Victoria Cros bestowed by the Queen for valor In the veldt. Captain Tows earned the distinction by attempting to carry off Colon?! Downmr.n, who had been wounded, un der a hull of bullets. He was unable to do so, and lay betide him and kpt off the Boers all nljfht until help came. By "that time Colonel Downmnn was dead. Captain Town was blinded 111 both eye by a bullet wound. Oa Wed nesday Cnptaln Towse was taken to Windsor and led Into the royal pres ence by his wife, where he km-lt at the fet of his sovereign, who was so much overcome at the sight of the blind hero that her ftKed hands could scarce pin on the most prised of all British deco rations. The Queen's few words of simple praise of hi gmlutitry and thanks for his devotion wyre spoken so low as to be almost Inaudible, and when Queen Victoria was led out there whs scarcely a dry eye among the of ficials present. The Marquis of Lansdowue, Minister of War, referring In the House of Lords to Lord Roberts' tt'Ugram an nouncing the death of Uo young Cana dian officers. Lieutenants Borden and Birch, in defending the British posi tion In the engagement on July 16, paid a glowing tribute to the Canadian vol unteers, saying: "When we think who writes the tele gram and with what feeling he must have written It. I think we may say no more touching tribute could be paid to the memory of the brave young rep resentatives of our colonial forces." The Earl of Carrington compared the patriotism of the colonies to an Australian underground river that dis appeared In the bowels of the earth, came up agaiu, and rushed onward in a mighty torrent to the ocean. It would always be so, the Earl continued, if perfect equality were preserved be- tweon the British colonial troops, Aiier a aeen election for the vacant associate membership in the Royal Academy, Frank Millet, the American artist, was defeated by Joseph Farqu liarson, the vote being 28 to 20. It Is announced that Prof. Charles Eliot Norton and the other llteiary ex ecutors of John Ituskin have determ ined not to Issue a biography of tht great art critic, considering that 2??. Ruskln's "Praeterlta" and Colling wood's biography are sufficient. How ever the executors will Issue repre sentative selections from Mr. Ruskln's diaries and letters. FRUIT CROP SHORT. California Peaches, Prunes and Apri cots Killed IV Unfavorable Weather. L0S ANGELES. Cal.. July 2L There wl" no Peaches or prunes exported from this part of the state this year. according to the statement of proml- ne"t fruit growers. President A. R. Sprague, of the Southern California Deciduous Fruit Exchange. In an In- terview, gays: 'There will be very little dried fruit "Tne apricot crop Is also very rhort.; on)p here and, there Is there a locality ln which the apricot crop approaches the average. This shortage, for the most part. Is caused by the most un seasonable warm weather In January,' followed by cold but no frosty weath er. The same weather conditions ex 1st in Arizona also. ' This condition of the decldlous fruit crop Is most disastrous to tho South ern California growers, because many of. them will have absolutely nothing to sell this year. But the trees are now leafing out and getting their usual appearance, so that, with a good rain fall during the coming season, we may hope for full crops another year, ex cept In such orchards as have been killed or seriously Injured by three years of drouth."

"To the mountains our people in In creasing numbers yearly look for those days of relaxation and recreation nec essary to- maintain the human ma chine In fair working conJItlon. The languorous sloth of the seashore proves very seductive while it lasts, but many have decided that the an nual outing should provide not only radical change of air and surround ings, but also such stimulation of flagging energies as will provide brawn and vigor for the return to labor. For this they urge the mountain climb and ramble, the balsam of the mountain pines, and the clear, unadulterated mountain air. "In this itrectlon the Shasta Route now affords a wealth of attractions. The entire line of road from Ashland to Redding Is studded with charming and accessible hotels and camps, where are cheer and comfort and healing at reasonable cost, and where you can hunt, fish, ride, loaf, or play with equal facility. , "Or If you look for healing waters, none better can be found, hot or cold, than the springs of Ashland, Colestln, Anderson, Bartlett, Byron and Paso Robles. "Before vlHltlng Europe, the people of the Northwest should see the glories ef Yosemlte valley, and the wondrous groves of Mariposa and Calaveras; the Parisians are likely to make In quiries concerning these attractive re sorts."
