At this particular time of the year, when
summer ends and autunin begins, men and
women should be more cautious about their
clothing ,and especially their underweay
than at aiay other time of the year. The
days are quite warm, bug the nights are
°hilly. Especially where the east wind
conoes up unexpeotedly at any moment,
colds may be caught very easily and
pneumonia may be the consequence. Flan-
nels should be worn by delicate persona
and it will also pay a man to carry 'a light
overcoat on his arm when he is going out
,at night. A summer cold is a bad` cold and
'should be avoided, because it is easily
caught and hard to cure. '

"Chinese Gordon" is always quoted tte the

at the least that those who make this
appeal to his. authority should emit all
reference to the very dieparaging opinion
he formed of King Johannes, who, after
all, is only a usurper, if for the time sue -
easeful. As " justice to Abyssinia" may.
very possibly be the next ory of the policy
of sentiment, General Gordon's opinion
in 1879 of this ruler's elearaoter should ,be,
remembered : " The king is rapidly'
