On Saturday there were twelve deaths in that city from heat and thirty-five other persons prostra^ ed; sixteen cases in Brooklyn, .nine in Newark and three in Jersey City. The thermometer stood at ninety- eight degrees and there was a humid ity in the the atmosphere that made life almost unbearable. This heat kept up on Sunday ana Monday, with about an < <j lal number of casualties each day. The Star thus describes the way people stood it: •‘Yesterday was the hottest of all. Sunstrokes were frequent and eleven lives were sacrificed. Straw hats, linen coats, gauze clothing, palm leaf fans and sunshades were no protec tion from the scorching rays of the sun yesterday. The man who is blessed with nothing more to do than to dictate to his amanuensis and watch the thermometer perspired an freely and suffered as mnch from the intense heat as the poor laborer who rigorously applied his pick and shovel in a trench. “Sweltering humanity, a tlave to commercial interests, moved to and FRESH KOLB GEM MELONS I Fresh Fish, Shrimps, Crabs, Fresh Summer Cheese, Fresh Country Butter, Fresh Vegetables.

Under snob atmospheric circumstances life, liberty aud the pursuit of nappinest became intolorable. Fat men lost flesh, and skinny people withered away and were as dry aa sawdust. “Old people moaned and plied the fan with vigor; young girls cussed the weather that straightened oat their carls, young men swore violent ly and banted up shrdy corners in saloons ud imbibed cooling draughts. The barbers did a good trade in shampooing, while the soda water fiend found plenty of this nonMn to-bating beve.age in the drug stores.” Apple disturbs many, aud often upsets the peo pie, but how much oftener does the green apple disturb the stomach and np set the bowels.
