A PREMIUm.
Waydown Bebee begged leave to announce
a
his willinuess to personally offer a premium
for the bt'est song on the close of the year..
and on motion of Samuel Shin it was decid-
ed that the club should once more try the
experiment of encouraging colored poets to
come to the front. It was resolved to offer
a premium of $10 in cash for the best poem
received up to January 1, and to limit all
contestants to three verses and chorus.
With each poem sent in must be an affidavit
that the writer is colored, and that he nor
she did not copy any portion of the said
poem from any published work. The points
to be considered are:
lst-Color of ink.
2d -Chirography.
3d -Whether postage was paid in full or
not.
4th -Rhythm and meter.
As soon as the details were settled Whale-

and entered the following as number one.

The Heat in India.
The editor of Outing has . just received
from Thomas Stevens, the globe -girdling
cyclist, a letter dated Delhi, India, in which
he says : " The weather is oppressively
hot; journey barely possible this season of
the year (August) even by taking things
very leisurely." Some idea of the tempera-
ture may be imagined when we state that,
with every appilance to mitigate the heat,
in the shape of punkahs, water soaked cuss -
cuss tatties, hung across the doorways of
the houses, etc., the thermometer indoors
often registers 120 degrees for weeks to-
gether.
Advice to Consumptives.
On the appearance of the first symptoms
-as general debility, loss of appetite, pal-
lor, chilly sensations, followed by night-
sweats and cough -prompt measures for re-
lief should be taken. Consumption is scro-
fulous disease of the lungs ;-therefore use
the great anti -scrofula or blood -purifier and
