= - II Q - =
Dress in Summer Recreation.

The benefits of summer rest or travel
are often lost through the absurd habits
of dress prevailing at fashionable re-
sorts. Anxious weeks are spent in pre-
pairing for the jaunt, and huge trunks
are filed with dresses The successive
changes needed for each day are a
source of perpetual worry. If some
sensible women, leaders of fashion,
would boldly institute change in the
style of summer dressing. an immense
relief would be experienced bv our
American ladies. Ladies of rank in
England, and those whose social posi-
ton is established, are far more sensi-
ble They travel for comfort and rec
reatiOn, and refuse to cumber them
selves with needless dresses. An Amer
lean lady, while travelling in England,
formed a casual acquaintance with an
English lady, who showed in her man
ners and conversation the highest cult
ure. But the English 1ady's costume
was so simple and unpretending, with
collars and cuffs, coarse though fault
lessly clean, that even the American s
maid looked down on it with a sort of
contempt. When they parted and ex-
changed cards, the American LADY found
to her surprise that her chanc. 5ompan-
ion was Lady Augusta Stanley, the wife
OF Dean Stanley, and one Of the favorites
of Queen Victoria.
10 gain health from a summer vaca-
ton, the mind should be kept as froe-as
possible from care. 1t is riding, boat
ing, waking, being stimulated BY what
is grand and noble in nature, and espe-
clally rest from all distracting subjects,
that give tone to the nervous system.
stimulate digestion and fill the veins
with vigorous life. Make your summer
vacation as simple as possible if YOU
have impaired health. Touth's Com

Comfort for a Very Hot Day.

Readers who are impatient under
temperature of ninety degrees in the
shade will find comfort in a paper reaC
by Rev. Owen Street, before the Ameri
can Geographical Society, on the eli
mate OF Central and Western Asia, the
region where our race originated.
They have hot weather in those coun.
tries. 1t is so hot. that human nature
dwindles under it. In some parts OF
Persia and Arabia. the mercury rises to
liz degrees in the shade and I70 de-
grees in the-sun. The highest temper
ature ever recorded by a trustworthy
witness was that of Muscat in Arabia,
when the thermometer marked 189 de-
grees in the sun, which is only twenty
three degrees lower than the tempera-
ture OF boiling water. We could not
bear our hands in water, nor handle
iron, of anything like that heat. Tray
elers describe their sensations when
subjected to- this extreme Temperature
as being almost beyond bearing.
+, Sir Robert Ker' Porter writes, 's.No
object appear to modest us, except the
almost insupportable sun; and under
it we continued TO march three hours
and half across the mountains, with
out breath OF air moving to cool our
scorched skins or a drop of water to
slake a thirst that was become intoler-
able. The poor dogs. overcome with
drought, actually lay down again and

agony that began to fear they would

q Mr.. Layard. in his "Nineveh,,' bears
similar testimony. .s4sIn the trenches,
where 1 daily passed many hours, the
thermometer generally ranged from l12
degrees to 115 degrees IN the shade,
and on ONE or two = occasions even
reached III degrees. The hot winds

A Norwegian Village.

Vossevangen is a little farming ham,
let on the west shore of a beautiful lake.
Ihe region is one of the best agricultu.
raj districts in Western NORWAY; the
"Vos farmers are held to be. .fortu.
nate and well to do, and their butter
and cheese always bring high prices in
market. .
L As we drove into the. village we met
the peasants going home from church
the women in short green or black
gowns, with gay jackets. and white
handkerchiefs made into fiying-but-
tress' sort of head dress on their heads:
the men with knee e-breeches, short
vests. and jackets thick trimmed with
silver buttons. Every man bowed and
every woman courtesied as we passed.

way without q sign or token of greeting
would be considered in Norway the
height of i'll manners, anychild seen to
do it would be sharply reproved. Prob
ably few things would astonish the rural
Norwegian more than to be told that
