A Saratoga Belle.

A newspaper man, describing men and
things at Saratoga, says:
Ladies seem to vie with the gentlemen in
their enthusiasm over the great events of the
track. One lady who is especially prominent
in this respect is a most charming widow with
two tall, stately, and lovely daughters, and
so great is her luck or her familiarity with
the merit of the horses-I know not which it
is-thst she has lost but one wager since the
opening of the races. The result is that a
great many ladies and gentleman follow her
lead in betting; and this charming queen of
the track, as she is called, is said to have
made neat little pile already. She has hosts
of admirers, and one gentleman prominent
on Wall street in New York seems likely to
be the fortunate winner of her hand, if she
decids again to enter the matrimonial harness.
He has lost large sums, it is said, in betting
against her. but this is looked upon as only a
pretty part of cupid's game; and it may be
that he thinks this sort of gambling very much
like merely depositing in his own bank for
future use. This is one of the incidentals
that give variety to daily life.

To Drink in Summer.

During the heated term of the year many
persons suffer greatly from thirst which
ice water fails to allay. In such cases,
nature Graves cooling beverages that re-
fresh the system and, in many cases. are
invaluable in preventing fever and bilious
diseases. But judgment and moderation
should be used in selecting them. Various
drinks, mineral waters. fruit and acids can
be purchased already prepared, but as
there is always doubt as to their purity
freshness. and the nature of the ingredients
used in compromising them. those prepared
at home are best. and as there are great
number Of excellent and delicious receipts
for home made summer drinks, any house
keeper can always have them at hand if so
desired. Many of these are particularly
acceptable to the sick, feeble and ailng
members of the family, to whom refresh
ing, nouriehlng drinks. by which thirst is
allayed without too free indulgence in
water drinking, is very important. With

The Chemistry of Food.

There is no reason why every house,
keeper and cook should not have kDowl-
edge of the chemistry of cooking, and of
the healthfulness of different articles OF
food. At this particular season of the
year, nature bountifully supplies US with
much that is cooling in the way Of fruit
and summer vegetables, which are not on
" delicious articles of food. but are really
health-preserving, for often slight indis-
position of children, or older persons. can
be readily cured by the free use Of those
culinary remedies. Spinach has direct
effect upon complaints, of the kidneys,
the common dandelion. used as greens, IS
excellent for the same trouble. asparagus
purfies the blood. celery acts admirably
upon the nervous system and is cure for
rheumatism and neuralgia. tomatoes act
upon the liver. beets and turnips are ex-
cellent appetizers, lettuce and cucumbers
are cooling in their effects upon the sys-
lem. beans are very nutritious and
strengthening vegetable. while onions,
garlic. leeks. chives and shallots. all of
which are similar, possess medical virtues
Of marked character. stimulating the cir
culatory system and the consequently
of the saliva and the castle juice promoting
digestion. Red onions are an excellent
duretic and the white ones are recon-
mended eaten raw as remedy for insom-
mia. They are tonic and nutritious. A
soup made from onions is regarded by the
French as an excellent restorative in de-
bili,y OF the digestive organs. We might
90 through the entire list and find each
vegetable possessing its especial mission
OF cure. and it will be plain to every
houseke eper that vegetable diet should
be partly adopted at this period of the
year. and will prove of great advantage
to the health of the family. With vege-
tables. as with ever, thing else, much de-
ponds upon the cooking and the care and
preparation beforehand Washing 10 sew
eral waters is absolutely necessary to pre-
pare nearly all kinds OF green vegetables
tor the table. and great care must be given
in examining spinach, lettuce. greens and
caulfower. as often very minute insects
are lurking in. or under the leaves of
these. 1t will be found good plan to
wash them in weak salt and water, after
which they should be put in ice water for
few minutes to prevent their becoming
tough and wilted.-Good Housekeeping.

Finley said that they were merely straight

and $50 miles an hour. The Texas
"Norther" is a cold trade wind. the Mon
tana "chinook" a warm current and the
"blizzard' hurricane with particles of
ice and snow in It's teeth. Tornadoes are
known as "wind falls" in the West. Ser
geant Dey. stationed at the Philadelphia
Signal Service Office is busily engaged
in investigating the tornado's track
through Port Richmond and Camden, pre-
paratory to making his official report to
Washington. According to Lieutenant
Finley's statement. the Philadelphia tor
nado was comparatively mild. The study
of tornadoes is most important feature

which will be issued next spring. will con-
tain the most minute statistics of all that
have occurred this year.
