uISTS ron SUMMER.
Mild and reasonable diet is very r,qui-
Site TO the maintenance of the oyster la "a
irst class condition during the extreme
warm weather. Those who reside in the
country viii be apt to have a good ape
lite, aud to eat often between meals. II
we were called upon to suggest good
lunch for midday during tlie summer
we should say: Drink first of all, pint
or so OF good lager beer; then eat Il dish
of nice cucumbers; next try three OF four
green apples. A few sauGers Of uurpc
raspberries or young peaches may be adj.
ded, ii YOU wish; but they are not strictly
necessary.
II isthe custom with navy TO take some
thing before going 10 bed-usnally fruit.
We think this coarse unwise. Oar Gus
tom is, immediately before retiring, to
eat half a pound of new cheese, two
peach pies, q hunk OF fruit cake, aud a
few slapjacks We have always found
benefit from this course, waking on the
following morning well and bright as the
lark that sings at heavens gate.
Bathing in summer is absolutely re-
quired. Battle early and often The very
be st specie Of bath is the Turkish. This
will cost you nothing, and you will lind
it of incalenlable benefit. About four o.
clock in the afternoon when the thcrmom-
eter is at ninety-lhree degrees, put on two
overshirts, four pairs of wooden drawers,
three pairs of stockings, your winter
boots and lndia-rubber oyershoes, three
vests, two coats, your heaviest overcoat, Il
thick shawl, comforter for the neck, aud
a heavy black slouch hat Go forth into
the hottest part of the garden, wheIe
there is no shade, and run up and down
for all hour at full speed, You can hardly
imagine, without having experienced it,,
the delightful sensation that win follow.
A subdued glow will pervadc your entire
form. A delicious perspiration will ooze
from the pores of the skin. The brain
will seem in delicious esstacy In short
you will be reiuvenated.
How shall we deal with sunstroke is a
pertinent query, and the writer is salts
fed that he can answer it. When you
see a man fall in the street stricken by the
sun, your first duty is to call everybody
around him that You can, and so de-
priye him entirely Of air. After few
minutes raise him up and hold him by
the legs so that he will be upside, down.
This is necessary for the reason that the
sun has previously driven his senses into
his feet and they must be allowed to flow
back TO the brains again. Get some clubs
aud distribute them among the by
ISLANDERS aud direct them TO welt the pa.
tient as hard us they can. After that tie
him TO hogshead and roll il over for a
quarter Of an hour. If this has 40 effect
you may give up the case as hopeless,
The temperature Of your sleepiug-room
during the heated term should always be
maintained as hugh AS possible. Make it
a rule 10 keep the doors aud windows
Theoretically closed, so that no air can
possibly enter; aud H. this way you viii
probably avoid ague. \ few odors may
be allowed to exist-indeed, might be

Everybody is now asking how shaII
| keep cool? Nothing Is more easy.
Simply live IN the ice-house attached 10
your farm or hotel. When you wish to
take midday nap uhdress and stretch
yourself out on cake Of ice, aud place
another cake over you aud you will sleep
in peace.
Summer drinks are OF yari0H. kinds.
On an exceedingly warm day nothing Is
more agreeable than hot whisky punch.
