too great an expense, it is a good plan to take
as a substitute three or four empty lagcr-b beer
bottles. The metal fasteniugs, being attached
to the bottles, are always IN place when
wanted. They can be filed with very hot
water without breaking them, if, during the
process, they are wrapped i'll cloths wrung out
of cold water.
What Women Can Do.
Women" said a successful woman jeweler,
"can do anything and everything nowadays.
When 1 first had to earn my living l thought
myself fortunate when Isecureda place behind

year, and the store was closed. Then ] painted

to learn, and l earned S12 a week instead

ptoyment, and was hired in a jewelry estab-

ney of Wild Cat, Ind, is a successful, money
making shepherdess. A few years ago an
uncle gave her an orphaned lamb to raise by
hand, which she did successfully, and becOm-
ing 80 much interested in sheep husbandry,
she procured a mate for the lamb, and she
now sports u fold of twenty-eight old sheep and
thirty-three lambs-six,y-on in all, all from
the first starting pair. Miss Kinney attends
to her f1ocks altogether herself, both
winter and summer, and now receives quite e
handsome little income from the annual sales
of wool and mutton. New occupations for
women are yearly springing into being. The
latest things Pve heard of are landscape gar
deners, bird ~fanciers, architects, junk dealers
and pawnbrokers. Women do all these things
now. Indeed, I'm afraid a bad time is coming.
Women do 80 many kinds of work that tho men
will all become duties. The fine, idle creatures
these days certainly are not women.
Keeping Cool.
The Decorator and Furnisher for the current
month has some good suggestions on the sub
iect of keeping cool, and quotes the old saying
that what keeps ont cold keeps out heat, aud as
our houses are mainly constructed with a view
of protecting, us from thar sort of weather
of which we have the most. namely: cold,
there is no reason why, with care, we
should not make our thick walls and solid
fittings equally available to protect US
from a sirocco as well as a northeastern.
This, however, can only be done by
proceeding upon the same principle with both
by shutting it out. Therefore, before the
rays of the midsummer sun become at all YER
teal we should carefully exclude the outer air,
draw down the blinds. close the shutters par
ticularly. if the windows are not protected by
outside blinds. The latter are quite indlspen-
sable for the perfect accomplishment OF our
object, for 1t is a great point TO prevent the.
glass getting hot; indeed, when the glass has
once become heated it is almost impossible to
bring down the temperature Of a room as low
as would have been the case had the windows
been protected by canvass, or jaluosie, early In
the morning. or course, these precautions
must be taken with the side OF the house which
faces south or west; the other aspects require
comparatively little consideration, except the
rooms at the top, where tho effect OF the sun
on the roof will always make itself disagree
ably felt, and the top story is therefore always
the most difficult to keep cool. -te

Notwithstanding the array of fashionable CAV

designs, and regular tennis fabrics in gorgeous
patterns and colorings, there is really nothing
outside of the expensive costumes that make
prettier tennis dresses than the Pompaaour
sateens. Thu colors of these are, as a rule,
very delicate and beautiful This has been
