Waterloo.

The battlefield of Waterloo as it lies
to-day is an uninspiring spectacle-a
good place to sit down and muse on
life and men and the vanity of human
things; but we have vivacious little
guide who spared no time for musing,
but engaged us with very dramatic
recital in broken, though quite intelli-
gible, English of the stirring things
that happened on that bloody Sunday
in 1915. when Bonaparte's brief candle
went out and the European kaleido-
scope ratified itself into fresh combi-
nation. l can't help sympathizing with
the bottom dog. The dramatic SYM
metry of Napoleon's career wins US
against our reeson.
l went out TO Waterloo with some
Englishmen, and l took solid comfort
in giving them my small opinion of
their Iron Duke. although we must al
low that he did this business very
handsomely.
But that guide. / shall not soon for
get him. He made more of an impress
sion on me than all the books | have
read on the subject of Waterloo. He
omitted nothing. He opened his soul
to US, and he suited the action to the
word. He gesticulated, he attitudin-
lied, in short, he fought the battle
over again for us. His English was
doubly English. He was especially
happy in his "hup, guards, hand hat
hemr' He recited this thrilling Incl
dent over his shoulder as he led us
down the two hundred and odd steps
that mounted the summit of Mound of
the Lion, and it was only by the most
extraordinary presence of mind that l
grasped the railing in time to escape a
fall.
The Mound of the Lion is an arti-
tlcial elevation which has been reared
(very ill-advisedly, l think) in the
midst of the field and of its earth,
thereby modifying the confguration of
the landscape, so that one can not now
gain so accurate an idea of the battle
ground as might. otherwise have been
obtained-unless, indeed, the loss is
compensated by the fact that the sum-

part in the drama of that day. On the
right is the Chateau of Hougomont,
against which, all day long, the French
lines beat like the waves of the sea
the key of the English position, held to
the last by the gallant Coldstream
Guards, though the house was burned
over their heads. The old brick wall
around the orchard still stands pierced
with loop holes, worn away by the pelt-

Something About Bananas.

1t is astonishing how little is known
of bananas, considering the extent to
which they are eaten. New York gets
every week an average of $4,000
punches. From Florida? Not single
one. Why, Florida only raises enough
bananas for home consumption. All
these yellow ones we get from Central
America, principally from Aspinwall.
Those big, fat, red fellows are from
Cuba. Plantains? Oh, no, that's a
general mistake. Plaintains are only
edible when cooked; they are more
vegetable than fruit. You didn't know
there were $50 distinct varieties of ban
anas, did youP The fruit comes to us
quite green, but in the Summer will
ripen in one or two days. Cool weather
compels US to use artificial treatment,
and we hang them in close room and
apply heat Now, that green bunch
will not be ripe under four days. With
the bananas, we import duty free, a
good many foreign inhabitants. See

Nervousness in Women.

One cause of the extreme nervous
ness of American women is living too
much in the darkness when indoors,
says the Herald of Health The rooms
are kept dark to save the carpets and

the benefits of fresh air and sunshine.
Houses from which the sun is excluded
are not wholesome. There is always a
damp, depressing condition in them
that makes itself evident at once to a
sensitive temperament. The minds
and bodies of all who live in such
houses are affected by it. Both health
and spirits are depressed. Their occu-
pants have not only the depressing eff
feet of the lack of light and sun to
contend against, but the reaction con-
sequent upon living in unwholesome
conditions. All the rooms in the house
should have both light and sunshine
freely admitted at all times, whether
they are in daily use or not. They are
thus keep sweet, and are in good con-
dition when they arc wanted.
Nelson Sizer once said, when max
ing a chronological examination: "Be
as much as possible in the sunshine
People who live in dark rooms and
wear black are pale all through" You
cannot have too much of light either
in your lives or in your houses, for
good health. You may live; but it is
not all of life to live. Merely to exist
is but small part of our work in this
world. We should so live that body
and mind are at all times in their best
condition. We are then ready and able
to do whatever duty may be required
of us in such way that the doing
merely shall be pleasurable, and the
reaction on ourselves and others bene-
fetal. 1t should be, in fact, the relig-
ious duty of every one to SO live.
Many woman and child have been
sacrificed to save the carpets and keep
out the flies. Many tit of illness has
resulted from the same cause. Many

Sunlit Rooms.

No article of furniture should be put
il room that will not stand sunlight,
for every room in a dwelling should
have the windows SO arranged that
some time during the day flood of
sunshine will force itself into the apart
ments. The Importance of admitting
the light of the sun freely into all parts
of our dwellings cannot be too highly
estimated. Indeed, perfect health is
nearly as much dependent on pure sun
light as it is on pure air. Sunlight
should never be excluded except when
so bright as to be uncomfortable to the
eyes. And walks should be in bright
sunlight, so that the eyes are protected
by veil or parasol when inconven-
iently intense. A sun bath is of more
Importance in preserving healthful
condition of the body than is generally
understood. A sun bath costs nothing,
and that is a misfortune, for people are
deluded with the idea that those things
can be only good or useful which cost
money. But remember that pure wa
ter, fresh air and sunlit homes, kept
free from dampness, will secure you
from many heavy bills of doctors. and
give you health and vigor which no
money can procure. 1t is now a well
established fact that the people who
live much in the sun are usually strong
er and more healthy than those whose
occupation deprives them of the sum
light. And certainly there is nothing
strange in the result, since the law ap-
plies with equal force to every animate
thing in nature. 1t is quite easy to ar
range an isolated building so that ev-
cry room may be flooded with sunlight
some time during the day, and it is
possible that many town houses could
be so built as to admit more light than
they now receive.

The Baby'S Second Summer.

1here are three sources from which
harm to the children may be anntici-
pated during the coming three months
These are the process of teething, indi-
gestion, and the heat. An account of
the troubles incident to these circum-
stances would now be seasonable and
possibly interesting to many. At all
events. these matters are standard
topics of conversation among mothers,
evidence that they at least know of the
gravity of the troubles in question.
Although q thermometer is not ex-
actly indispensable where there are
young children, yet it is great con-
venience, for until the external temper
ature rises to about ninety degrees lit
tie trouble may be expected from the
heat Troubles due to the cause lust
named are best combated by frequent
sponging of the face, arms, hands, and
feet with simple cool water. Children
that are 80 treated will be much less
liable to be affected injuriously by the
heat and other matters now to be
spoken OF.
The liability to indigestion increases
as the Summer heat approaches the
maximum point. In the treatment of
this trouble the old rule about preven-
ton will be especially useful At this
time the avoidance of fat and heated
foods and of unwholesome breast and
other milk are very important points.
The foods most suitable for summer use
can be named in short order Use the
most nutritious and digestible SUBJ
stances that can be commanded. Meats
baked or boiled used cold Cold cup
custard, rice pudding, cold, good ice
cream, milk and sponge cake are
prime articles of summer diet for all,
and especially for children who can
use food other than milk.
The eruption of the teeth goes on
most vigorously during the second
year of the child's life, and makes
unusual demands on its vital powers.
This circumstance accounts for the
more serious outlook of all the diseases
that may occur at this period of the
child's life. When q child is teething
and appears in great general distress,
with perhaps a hot and dry skin, much
relief may be afforded by allowing an
abundance of cold water to drink and
by cool bath, followed by sharp rub
bings of all parts of the child's body.
But if, on the other hand, the child
should be attacked by sudden vomit-
ing and purging, with much apparent
weakness and cool skin, medical ad-
vice should be had with all speed.
While waiting for the coming of the
doctor, drop of the best brandy in
hot, sweetened water, should be given
by the mouth. Hot spice plasters ap-
piled to various parts of the body,
notably the stomach, would also be
uscful.-Philadelphta Times.

The Person Who Keeps the Hotel

In the midst Of confusion and turmoil and
hustle,
When mammoth conventions are nearly at
hand,
He calmly surveys the impetuous hustle
OF delegates swarming from over the land.
He smi!ingly mods at the jeers of the SCOT
ferS-
What care for their idlesome pratings has
he?
And gently but firmly enlarges his Golfers.
Expectant of harvests that surely snail DE.
The autocrat he of the mammoth conven-
tons
A bandit, bewild ringly blatant and boldl
Who, all unperturbed in the midst Of conten-
tons,
Remorselessly reeks with his ill-gotten
gold,
On the cool. CHEEKY breeze Of the lake he en-
larges,
Though musty and ancient and fishlike its
smell.
And the gullible guests never grunt at the
charges
OF the conscienceless person who keeps the
hotel

Bottled Tears,

In Persian they bottle their tears as
of old. This is done in the following Q
manner: As the mourners are sitting
around and weeping the master of GER
emonies presents each with piece of
cotton, with which he wipes off his
tears. This cotton is afterward squeez-
ed into bottle, and the tears are pre-
served as powerful and efficacious
remedy for reviving a dying man after
every other means have failed. 1t is
also employed as a charm against evil
influences. This custom is probably
alluded to in Psalm vi, 8: Put thou
my tears into bottle" The practice
was once universal, as is found by the
tear bottles which are found in almost
every ancient tomb, for the ancients
buried them with their dead as a proof
of their affection.
