BETTEE WEATHEE CONDITIONS. Though there has been no soaking rain there were several heavy showers within the past week which brought relief to the parched land and cooled the air, making life more endurable. It may here be noted for the benefit of those who have, in past years, pointed to Washington as a particularly hot place in summer, that during this tor- rid wave, fierce as it has been, there has been less suffering here than in any other city in the country within the heat zone. Though there were a number of heat prostrations there were but few deaths among adults that were caused directly by heat. The infant mortality here, as elsewhere, has been higher. Our benevolent Secretary of Agriculture has under him a bureau for the enlightenment of the people on the care of animals. It would appear that a bureau for the protection of children would be a wise and humane proposi- tion as they appear to suffer more from Ignorance and carelessness or both than the horses and dogs. In the mat- ter of stock about the same conditions prevail as were noted a week ago. There is an abundance of short roses that can be used in funeral work but very few that could be given any rating. The old carnations have held out re- markably well but their finish is at hand. Though now very small they continue to sell for $ per 100 but the old plants must go to make room for the young stock. Some very good lilies, for the season, have been re- ceived from outside points during the past week and with orchids and lily of the valley have been use
