people should wear thin gauze dannels.
This is especially true Of all localities
bordering on the sea. An easterly or
south-easterly wind comes to US from

put on in the morning what they intend
to wear till night will wisely provide
against a change Of atmospheric cOndi
tions. A great deal of suffering and
disease is caused by cold-far more than
by heat-even in the summer time.
Sudden changes of temperature are al
ways to be guarded against, and rs far
as possible provided for. In tropical

clothing for lighter fabrics and summer
costumes.
APPLE PUFFs.-rhe>e are nice for
party suppers, and, In fact, are good
|. any tiue, but rather too tedious to make
for frequent use. The quickest way to
make them 10 to roll two large sheets OF
dough on separate boards, and put as
many tiny spots of mashed or sifted
, sauce upon one of them As you judge
/ there will be room to make puffs; then
cover il all with the other sheet, which
i should be a triie larger, and cut out
, with biscuit cutter wherever there Is
bunch of sauce. If TOO much sauce Is
: put in, it will stew out bad and dis
figure them; print around them with d
three tined fork-if you have nothing
,, better-uo press the edges together and
keep in the juice. By the way, an old
, wooden clock wheel is quite handy
thing to roll around pies, and makes a
very pretty margin; cheap, isn't it!
and it is never out of order.
THE Practical Farmer says that clap
boards are often split by driving large
nails into the board that has just been
> put on, sometimes checking the stud on
; which the clapboard is nailed. This
induces leakage and often speedy decay.
The proper method is pointed out as
, follows: After one board Is nailed on,
let the support nails be stuck into the
/ sheathing boarus or studs, so as TO resi-
on the upper edge of the board below.
. Then after the ends are fitted, draw out
the nails and lap the clapboard on the
1 other board not less than one inch. BY
, observing this direction, no cracks will
3 be produced near the lower edge of the
: boards. 1t will pay well, also, TO make
= holes for nails with a sharp brad-awl.
e STRONG DRINK.-The use of strong
;. tea, a very common habit with women
:. is great injury to health. 1t stimu.
; lates the nervous system without pro-
: viding nourishment. Any portion ol
the human body continuously excited
will speedily wear out. ''m so ner'
vous," is an expression often hea rd
\
y trifiing incidents occasion in a company
/, of ladies proves the assertion to be true
a The nervous would do well TO study
D the cure of their nerves more and tall
about them less.
How TO CRYsTALIzE FRUIT.-Pick ou
e the finest of any kind of fruit, leave or
their stalks, beat the whites of thret
eggs to stiff froth, lay the fruit i'm the
beaten egg with the stalks upward
4 drain them and beat the part that drip'
$ of again, select them out one by Ont
Q and dip them into cup of finely-pOw'
dered sugar; cover pan with sheel
: of fine paper, place the fruit inside O
i il, and set il in an oven that is cooling
when the icing on the fruit become:
!, firm pile them on a dish and set them
in cool place.
= CRIMPING HAIR.-To make the hail
stay in crimp take five cents worth ol
: gum arabic and add to il just enough
boiling water to dissolve it. When s.
2 solved, add enough alcohol to make il
q rather thin. Let this stand all night
= and then bottle it to prevent the alcohol
!, from evaporating. This put on the hail
= at night, after il is done up in paper:
or pins, will make it stay in crimp the
: hottest day, and Is perfectly harmless
> NERVOUS CHILDREN. - Nervousness
!. with a child is almost always matter
Z of the stomach. A crust of bread will
: usually put an end TO the most obstinate
= perverseness. Children, for this rea-
0 son, should never be allowed to 60 to
D bed, after fiE of crying, with All empty
stomach. A bit of bread and jelly, or a
cup of custard, will bring back smile:
and happiness when all the moral law
, fails, and for the sOundest OF reasons.
' MENDING GLAss.-For mending valua
bic glass objects which would be dis
D figured by common cement, chrome
e cement may be used. This is \ mixture
5 OF five parts gelatipe TO one of solution
b of acid chrOmate of lime. The broken
Z edges are covered with this, pressed
= together and exposed to sunlight, the
effect of the latter being TO render the
/. compound lnsoiuble even in boiling
water.
D FRIED BREAD.-Here is very nice
side dish, and an economical way OF
4 using dry slices of bakers bread: Dip

then make a batter from one egg, two
or three tablespOonfuls of flour, and
milk enough to make thin batter; fry
on a griidIe or frying-pan; have good
, sweet lard, and heated very hot, before
laying in the bread. 1t is delightful.
ENGLISH STEw.-Cut cold meat of any
kind into thin slices. Sprinkle salt,
pepper and flour over them; also spread
over the meat any kind of pickles,
chopped or sliced. Pour over all half a
. teacup OF water, and little of the vine
gar from the pickles, with spoonful
or two of catsup and some of the gravy
left from the meat. Stir all together,
, and bake one hour.
CLEANING WINDOW GLAss.-Painters
sometimes leave spots on window glass
when painting the sash. A lady who
knows informs us that benzine applied
to such places, and allowed to remain a
