WHERE TO STUDY AMERICAN CHAR
ACTER.-The American people are last
becoming summer wanderers. Not only
from the hot aud fetid cities come the
many who can afford to seek wholesome
air and rest, but the whole country
pours out Its well-to do and intelligent
people to spend part f the idle summer
season in mingled rest and sightseeing.
The place to see the American people
of every shade is at the summer resorts.
The typical American man, woman, boy
and girl are all to be seen there, and
every phase of American character is
there exhibited. There can be no sys-
TEN of seclusion in this country to give
any leading summer hotel an iron-clad
Individuality. The doors may be
slammed in the face of the Jews here
and there, but the experiment has been
a failure as a rule, and the average
Christian has learned that the average
Hebrew has much the same virtues and
the same infirmities Of all other races.
The smaller houses naturally attract
cODgenlaI people from all the various
sections anu conditions of life, from
the ultra snobbish TO the cheap side
lounger; but the great hotels and the
fa7orite regions of resort, become alike
the temple of every race and class.
Even Newport has its full share of So
cial pretenders and mendicants, and the
Catskilis swarm with the qsiet elegance
of culture, the restless ostentations of
shoddy, the babble of the dude and the
middle straits of common sense, all iost-
ling each other IN the race for pleasure.
Summer rest and summer sightseeing
have become fixed attributes of the Am
erican people, and there is no better
way to study American character than
in the now countless and varied sea-
side and mountain summer resorts.

A rexas Lawyers Strategy.

In suit at LOngview, Texas, John
w. Duncan, one of the attorneys in the
case, vehemently argued that DO value
or reliance conld be placed upon petit
tions promiscuously signed by citizens.
Opposing counsel refuted Dun cans ar
gument scathingly and characterized it
as absurd aid idiotic. The court and
the jury were also against Duncan.
They believe that petitions iu any cause
If signed by good men, we've entitled to
respectful consideration.
Cbagrined and defeated. but not con-
vinced that he was wrong. Duncan
quietly went to work to prove that pe-
ttlons were of no value. His inrerious
zeal was rewarded Tuesday. when in
court be read solsmn petition pray
ing that the court would hang their fell
low townsman Luke Howard. who is
one OF the most respectable and enter
prising citizens of the place. Duncan

Woman the Home Maker.

s'Home, . says the proverb, ''is where
the heart is. - but if so, no man seems
to have heart enongh to fit out home
without woman to help him. A wo-
man can do so for herself there lies her
advantage It may be harder for a wo-
man to make money undoubtedly it i s
harder. She makes a dollar. perhaps,
where man makes twenty, but when
it comes to purchasing power her dollar
goes the farthest toward the mainte-
nance of a home. So long as she re-
tains it she is strong and respecting,
and even if she parts with it, so strong
is the instinct of home that she can
sometimes reconstruct it for herself,
even in a boarding house If the home
is combined with little freedom in the
use of money, it gives more comfort
and more local prestige thar lone man
can win by fortune. What would be

Health Hints.

The seed rod of the plantain, boiled
in milk, will check the most violent
case Of cholera morbus.
\ freckIe cure recommended by pro-
fessiOnal consists of two ounces of lem
on juice and one dram of sugar Nix
together and let stand in a glass bottle
for few days; then rub on the face
and avoid exposure to the sun or wind
For dogwOod OF ivy poisining the fol-
], wing is said to be an infallible rene
dy: Boil wood ashes enough to make
a strong lye; wash the poisoned parts
in this; let it remain a few minutes,
and wash of in soft lukewaTm water
when dry anoint with grease. Repeat
ihis process as the poison develops itself.
and one or two applications will cure
the most obstinate cases. 1t acts like
magic.
The LatuTal process by which bleed
ing is stopped is the formation of a blood
clOt which plugs the orifice of the divi-
ded vessel. When an artery is divided
the cut end retracts OF shrirks so that
the formation of clot is facilitated,
but the blood current is so strong. IN

fore Ge the aim of the assistant TO check
or stop the flow OF blood away from the
artery in order that the beginnings of
c!Ct formation may not be swept away
by the current. This may be accom-
pished by pressing upon the orifice of
the vessel in the wound, or by pressing
tie edges of the wound firmly together,
or in cases where this is not easy and
Efficient, by COMPRISING the artery
which supplies the part from which the
henorage is taking place in some 9th .
