Some exceedingly odd and pretty bathing
costumes are seen at Long Branch. They
are noted for their dainty and quiet color

West End, and is made of white China
silk. The blouse and skirt are made in one

belt of pale blue alligator skin fastening the
blouse. The trousers arc caught with an
elastic Just below the knee, and are met by
black silk stockings, A sailor collar tied
with blue silk handkerchief, and short
putlcd sleeves ornamented by bow Of blue
ribbon, complete the costume. A gossa-
mere is thrown over the shoulders on going
TO md from the water and dainty little
oil-shin cap protects the hair.
The dresses worn during the morning
vary more in style and material than those
worn at any other summer resort. Sateens
of all kinds, with white muslins, piques and
fannels are all seen. A gay parasol, either
crimson, blue or lowered, is generally car.
ried, and long mousquetalre gloves are
worn.
High-heeled slippers that lace to the in
step are the favorite morning shoes. Tan
and black alligator shoes are seen in the
afternoon, while velve, and silk slippers,
also bronze ones, highly embroidered, cover

Mid summer, with its heat and dust, is
upon u.s. and yet the sensible housekeepcr

The heat and dust do not keep her from.
One Of the most important of these is to
look after the plush, velvet and cloth fur

the covering and doing much damage.
The housewife gets bottle of benzine and a
soft flannel cloth and rubs the wood work
about each piece Of furniture, also passing
the damp cloth over the coveing. Heavy
CARPETS are also cleansed in this way and
freed from moths.
Winter clothing of of all kinds that have
not been slowed away In camphor and done
up in paper or in alright boxes or TRUNKS
should also be looked after at this season.
A DAYS airing in the sun, with good
brushing and sprinkling Of pepper or cam
phor, win keep them in safety until Fall.
Little red ants are great sources oftrouble
during the Summer. They creep into the
bread-box and into everything except the
icebox. The housekeeper tries to drown
them and puts every edible in a dish and
then in painful of water, but to no avail
The best way to get rid of these little pests
is to first wash the pantries with borax and
hot suds and remove everything from the
shelves. Then sprinkle them with little

pantry and soon become as great nuisance
as formerly. The pantry should be left

THE SNAKE EDITOR.

The snake editor sits In big arm chair,
Free from the city's hustle;
II e cockroach cTeeps from crack In the desk,
Prepared 20 make hustle.
Tie spider swings from the ceiling above
And gobhles the blue-tail fly,
While lizard creeps from broken floor
And rrily winks his eye.
A ball frog sits In the window sill,
Cracking t2 the cricket's rhyme,
And the parf6r boots 20 the monkeys scream:
"We're having oil time"
The living skeleton comes 10 the door
And the giant stops 10 grin,
While No. O. with the big fat boy,
is clamoring 10 be let In.
The air Is Shiny and green and foul,
And bats are beating the air
The Albino children are out on lark
And have torn each others hair.

He culeth the Summer story
For the out-town reader at the Summer resort,
Who cavorteth In his glory.

Beasts Before the Law.
Erom Me .tilanlic.

Beasts were often condemned to be
burned alive; and, strangely enough it was
in the latter half Of the seventeenth century,
an age Of comparative enlightenment, that
this cruel penalty was most frequently in
fictcd. Occasionally merciful Judge ad,
hered to the letter of the law BY sentencing
the culprit to be slightly singed, and then
to be strangled before being burnt. Some
times they were condemned to be buried
alive Such was the fate suffered by two
pigs, in 1856 ION the vigil of the Holy
Virgin, at Oppenhein, on the Rhine, for
killing child. Animals were even put to
the rack in order to extort confession. 1t
is not to be supposed that the Judge had
the slightest expectation that any confess
sion would be made; he wished simply to
observe all forms prescribed by the law,
and to set in motion the whole machinery
ofjustice before pronouncing Judgment.
THE question" which in such cases would
seem to be only q wanton and superhuous
act of cruelty, was nevertheless an import
ant element in determining the final decis-
ion, since the death sentence could be COM
muted into Punishment provided the crimi-
nal had not confessed under torture The
use of the rack was, therefore, q means Of
escaping the gallows. Appeals were some
times made TO higher trihsaals, and the
judgments of the lower courts annulled or
modified. In one instance a SOW and she
ass we're condemned to be hanged; on ap-
peal and after new trial they were sem
fenced to be simply knocked in the head
In another instance an appeal led to the &C.
quittal of the accused.
