To KEEP Room CooL.-A cores
pondent of one Of the scientific journals
writes as follows: "Thele is method
which | have adopted in nv own house
to cool the temperature Of any room
during hot weather. and that is to have
a sheet or blanket down an outside
open window upon which the sun may
be shining. This sheet is wet and the
evaporation of the water produces a de
liciously cool apartment. The sheet
is kept damp by having a vessel flied
with water above the top of it outside,
and piece Of flannel arranged to siphon
and touching several portions of the
sheet. The water gradually emptes
out of the vessel, and may be replenish-
ed II necessary.
BERMUDA GRASS FOR LAWNs.-The Ar
kansas State Grange thus champions
the cause of the much abused Bermuda
grass for lawn use: Eve have already
SAID so much in praise of the Bermuda
grass that we need not say much more
In this latitude we think it far ahead of
blue grass, but there are situations
where blue grass does we'll enough; for
inst ance, when the soil is good, inclined
to he stiff and partially shaded. Herd
grass grows almost any where well
enough for pasture, or yard and or
chard grass does in the shade, but it
grows III tufts or tuss.cks. Blue grass
and herd grass mixed, will commonly
make good turf. Bermuda will beat
them both, and will, III course of years,
spread out into the street or road and
into the garden; but little pains will
keep it out of the garden"
To CURE DYSPEPSIA OR NERVOUS De
BIIITY.-Change you diet and manner
of living; drink neither tea nor coffee

teaspo9nful or more of cayenne pep
per III half a glassful of milk and drink
1t; eat plain food; never taste pastry of
any kind. If you are troubled with
sleepless nights, do not try to promote
seep hy taking stimulants or opiates;
they do more harm than good take a
bath Just before retiring, and if you are
unable to do it yourself, get some one
to rub you well with coarse towel; if
you wake in the night and cannot get
to sleep again, get up at once, not lie
until you get nervous thinking about it,
take foot bath; rub your limbs well to
