One night | got my desk in order-pen,

out into the fresh spring morning. For five

Going fasting to my desk, or taking even a

tarded my work, and a headache or early
exhaustion was the consequence.
The history of this morning is the history
of every morning for year The old habit
was hard to break, but | was determined to
get rid of it, and every morning compelled
myself to write something original; to write
it with care and painstaking, endeavoring to
concentrate my thought upon it Often the
style was bad, being uneven and ''jerky,"
and the matter was even worse, from half
formed ideas, yet found that eopying few
pages OF some SOOu auCnOr the evening De

on paper often introduced it as a personal
thing which | could see and handle. OF
course, much of the work of those first morn

srgned to the stove, but the habit of waiting

FOOD FOR SUMMER.
Heat Producing Food MischIevous In the
Hot Months-Our Drink.

Heat Producing Food MischIevOus In the
Hot Montbs-Our Drink.
In our climate the temperature may range
during single year through 100 degs. in the
shade, though a range Of more than ITO degs
is unusual Our food requirements in sum
mer differ from those in winter. One OF the
chief uses of food is to produce heat within
our bodies, for heat is as much an essential
part of us as is muscle, nerve or bone. A
variation Of few degrees of animal heat
either way is fatal The temperature of the
human body in a state Of health is the same
the world over-in Greenland and at the
equator. Animal heat is generated within
the body by wonderful chemical processes
from the raw material furnished by food
Nature within us and nature without us
work together herein. Some foods merely
generate heat; others nourish, or furnish
force.
Now an unvitated appetite Graves and re-
jects, according to the need. The Green
lander Graves heat producing fat, but food
into which fat largely enters is unsuited to
summer Sugar, also is mainly a heat pro
Queer; therefore cakes and sauces, rich in
sugar and fat, are mischievous in the hot
months The system, already weakened by
the heat without, is further heated by the
heat elaborated within, and is still further
weakened and rendered susceptible to disease
by its inability To assimilate what may have
been digested. This throws exhausting work
on the eliminating organs.
Here again we see the harmony Of nature
within and without. In sumlher the normal
taste is for the fresh vegetables, in which
nature is then so lavish. Most of these
vegetables have little heating property
Moreover, they abound in water which the
system then demands.
Again. cold is a tonic, and long continued
heat depressant In winter digestion is
more vigorous, and this makes the appetite
better. In summer therefore, our food must
be less in quantity. Indeed, quantity then
tells more unfavorably on health than does
quality. The getting rid Of waite keeps the
eliminating organs at high and dangerous
tension, and that, too, when weakened by
climatic conditions Yet many persons eat
the same in summer as in winter, and spur
their feeble apDetites with various stmu-
lantS. 1t is not wonderful that, when the
laws of health are thus disregarded, the
season is pre-eminently the sickly one, al
though so much life in the open air should
make it a healthy one
Food includes water and water constitutes
the larger part of the body. 1t is also the
solvent both of food and waste BY its
evaporation on the surface the bodily TEN
perature is kept at Its proper point. Rence
it should be drank freely III SumneT-but not

Points Concerning italian Etiquette.


No one gets very intimate with tho Ital-
Ians. They are very warm hearted, sociable
and easy up to q certain point; there 1t
ceases The young diplomats who live in
Rome notice this; although they have lost
their costumes, they have kept their customs,
and one Of these Is . certain repellant at.
mosphere when extreme intimacy Is ex-
pected- There is In Rome-the more's the
pity-a slow vanishing Of the picturesque;
but, although a Roman princess naay wear a
modern gown and retain nothing of the past
but her splendid jewels, she is the same proud
lady that she was, or that her great grand
mother was, aid she, like her, repels intimacy
or familiarity beyond a certain point.
One very important point is that they never
wish to be touched In our country lady
talking with another will often lay her hand
on her friends arm; this is considered very
great and Questionable familiarity by an
Italian. 'Never touch the person; it is
sacred" is an Italian proverb. A lady in
Italian society, to be very polite, will shake
hands when introduced to an American the
first time, but she rarely extends her hand
the second time; she makes deep and grace
full courtesy. If her friend is in affection,
she comes takes her hand and presses it to her
heart; but there is nothing Of the free, easy
caressing, none Of that intimate kissing,
nothing like the superficial intimacy which
we observe between American woman

early found that needed some place for
special information about men of note, ancc-
dotes overheard, reflections etc. After much
thought hit upon the following: In the first
place, keep letter book, with tissue paper
leaves Every letter written, be it of more
or less Importance, is copied into that book
in the twinkllng of letter press screw. One
page of the index in the front part is de
voted to names, the other to the special sub
jects referred to in the letter.
Thus, suppose IN personal letter to a
friend, in the free expression Of friendly con-
versation, have chatted about the present
administration, or given him some sage ad-
vice against flirting. Back in the index
goes the entry, Flirting, page S." Years
later these half playful remarks may be Just
the touch needed to complete a chapter or
outline book. By writing down my anec-
dote while it is hot, and similarly copying,

manuscripts against the chance Of their loss

A PECULIAR BUGGY.

One day half a dozen years ago was COM
ing down on a train from Winnipeg, in the
queens dominions, to Dakota 1t was a
freight train of forty or fifty empty box
cars with red caboose ON the back end for
the few passengers. The engineer was wild
reckless fellow, who had, think, been drink
ing, and sometimes he spurted the train up
to between nine and ten miles per hour The
time table called for only six, but this dare
devil made it average fully seven He didn't
altogether forget those things which were be-
hind and press forward, however, because
once between siding No. 46 and Big Portage
he happened to drop his pipe out of his mouth
while he had his head out of the cab window
and actually stopped and backed that long
train for fully threequarters of a mile look
ing for it The conductor and brakemen
hung of the steps of the caboose and helped
in the search l put my head out of the ca
boose window and, looked too, picturing a
great white meerschaum pipe lying on the
ground like block of sea, foam, with just
rich autumn amber tint on the bowl When
the conductor picked it up noticed that it
was clay and had a stem two inches long.
The engineer when be took it admitted it
wasn't worth much, but he said it was one
that Billy Higgins, of QAppelle, had given
him, and he didn'twant to lose it. He started
to tell how Billy had happened to make him
the present, but the conductor said that he
had promised his wife to be home early that
night and reckoned we had better shack
along So the engineer went forward and
we shached.
went back and climbed up into the pilot
house Of the caboose where l had secured
seat by bribing one of the brakelIien with
nozious cigar. This gave fine view of the
country. You could see fifteen miles to any
of the thirty-two points of the compass
perhaps further. TIE country was as fat as
a congressional debate 1t was in the valley
of the Red River of the North A long lank
man with thin hair and hollow cheeks came
and climbed up in the cupola with me and
helped me abuse the scenery. He had a
wandering eye and distracted air and said
he had been UP to Winnipeg to sell some real
estate and was now, as he expressed it, on
his way. back to Gods country. Most OF the
various articles of clothing he wore were too
large for him, though some were too small.
He indulged in great bites Of dark, forbid
ding looking tobacco and had solemn, half
detected expression.
