Rather a Large Dose.

A lady who is studying the
occult scieDce of cookery has OBJ
served that Pittsburg's good friend
Miss Parloa is fond of saying in
her recipes: ga level spoonful" of
such.and.such an article. The
story has nothing to do with cook
ing, but / am reminded of it by
Miss PaIloa's pet phrafe-
A small boy, more or less the
light of a certain household aud
the scOurge of the neighborhoof,
showed signs of acquiring the com.
plexion of a leopard. That is to
say, his mother noticed that her
treasures face was becoming ter
ribly spotted. She called the
family DOCTORS attention to the
trouble, and he said in the brussque,
of hand.way we all know so well,
"Give him a level teasepoonful of
birthstone every day."
The DOCTORS word was law in
that family, and a considera BILE
shipment of birthstone was pro.
cured at once. Onitting the de-
tails OF administration we may
pass on to the next visit of the
doctor to the family of the spotted
boy.
DWELL, how's Tommy ~ was the
doctors first question.
Goa, he's very much worse. AS
you ordered, l gave him eleven
spoonfuls of birthstone, and he's
been raising -"
"Eleven spoonfuls ! [ never
ordered that many" shouted the
doctor, as he nervously sprang up
the stairs toward Tommy's room,
"a level spoonful was what |
said."-PHtsburg Dispatch.

Hints for HOusekeepers.

Occasionally use a couple OF
drops of camphor on the tooth
brush.
Warm dishes for the table by
immersing them in not water, not
by standing them on a hot stove.
Air the house thoroughly every
day, even "though the rain comes
down in torrents or the snow beats
in drifts"
Sailed beef can be plunged into
boiling water; this hardens the
outer side at once and keeps the
Juices with the meat.
Don't think when you sit down
to rest that it is necessary to pic
up that unfinished mending. Ten
minutes absolute rest is worth
much to the tired muscles.
The best way to clear and
straighten the fringe of towels,
doylies, ETC., before ironing is to
comb it while damp with an inch
length of coarsest toilet comb.
Heartburn may be relieved al
most instantly if half teaspOOnful
of table salt be dissolved in a
wineglass of cold water and then
drank. When the eyes are tired
aud weak, if they ale bathed in
slightly saline water, they WILSON
become sOOthed.

Get Shoes After Noon.

Tie best time TO get fitted 10
shoes is in the latter part of the
day. The feet then are at their
maximum of size and sensitiveness.
Activity measurably enlarges them.
When the muscles are in play the
flow of blood in the arteries is IN
creased and the Joints also; con
sequently they are more tender.
Even gravity effects the venOus
circulation, so that standing on
the feet alone tends to enlarge
these members. 1t is gravity that
produces varicOse veins in the legs
and feet OF persons of relaxing
fibre who are required to be much
in the erect position.
Hence when healthy people lie
down at night their feet, being re-
lieYed from the weight OF the body,
resume their normal size. Try on
new shoes with moderately thick
stockings, too, and you then have
a margin of room by pnttlng on
thinner ones when the feet are i'll
at ease. For tender feet fit them
late in the day with the aid of
heavy stockings, and the next
morning, clad in thinner stockings,
those feet will rest in the new, al.
most as comfortable as they would
in the old.-HeraM OF Health.

To Remove Grass STAINS.

Grass stain is particularly OBJ
stinate to remove. 1t Will some
times disappear 10y dipping the
spot in molasses and letting 1t lie
a few moments. Rinse the mo.
Iasses out in clear water, and the
stain will disappear with 1t. a
more eGectual method, however, is
to dip the spot in solution of tin
chloride and Immediately wash it
out in abundance of clear water
Many stains which are too firmly
set to ield to the treatment with
boiling water will come out by
dipping the spot in warm chlorine.

Despite the heavy rain yesterday morning the
annual summer field sports of the Columbia
Athletic Club took place yesterday afternoon
on Analostan Island. They were witnessed by
large number of the friends of the competing
athletes and big contingent of the general
public, who took great delight in the games.
Many ladies graced the Island with their pres
ence, and their pretty costumes, mingling with
the loud blazers of the athletes, made the sight
pretty one up and around the cinder path.
The grounds were in fair shape, the heavy
rain, of course rendering the track somewhat
out of trim for extra fast sprinting, so, every
thing considered, the time made was rather
remarkable Track Master O'Neil has certainly
made wonderful changes in the Island and it is
certain by the time the A. A. T. meeting is held
here in August the tracks and field will be the
equal of any in America. Prof. Crossley, the
tutor of gymnastics, was on hand, and by his
advice the jumpers showed up rather strong in
their classes. The Columbss are, therefore,
to feel rather elated over their field sport The
officers were Marshals Athletic Committees.

ATHLETICS AND ROWING.

The Potomac Athletics have received their in
vitation to the Schuylkill regatta on July 4, and
it is more than probable crew will be sent
from the club to meet the pick of America in
eights. If the crew meets the Vespers, of Phil
adelphia, at Baltimore on Wednesday next and
gives them the go-by, then it is dead sure that
for the first time Potomac crew will be seen
on the smooth water of the Schuylkill. They
have a new boat, have plenty of rowing men,
and there is no good reason why the crew
should not make splendid record for itself.
The first aquatic encountre of interest to
District oarsmen will be held on Wednesday
next on the Patapsco River under the auspices
of the Patapsco Navy. According to informa-
tion received from the officers OF the Navy and
CLEANED from the daily papers of Baltimore,
crews are expected from New York, Newark,
Philadelphia, Washington, and their own local
clubs. The committee have been hard at work
advertising the affair, and 1t is certain that
every event will fill There are to be junior
and senior singles, junior and senior four-oared
shells, gigs, and eight-oared shells. AS far as
can be learned the real entries from this city
will be the Potomacs in the senior fours and
eight-oared shells and the Columbias in the
Junior four-oared shells, though the Baltimore
Sun in report of meeting of the regatta
committee said the Columbias would send an
eight and gig and the Potomacs junior single
and four-oared crew. If this is 50 the crews
must be training before daylight or after night
fall, as none of the daily frequenters of the
river have ever seen them training. The inter
est here OF course centres around the senior
races, in which the Potomac crews will enter.
The senior four of the Potomacs will be Dyer,
stroke; Reynolds, 3; Tobin, 2; Fischer, bow
practically three new men in the boat, as Rey-
nolds did not row last season, Tobn is new
oarsman, while Fischer, though one of the best
men in the club, is somewhat handicapped on
account of his weight. The men only com
menced to row together ON Monday last, and
as the crew they will meet has been together
for year and is rowing fast, it remains to be
seen how well the Potomacs will do. The
Ariels are a very fast crew, as at Philadelphia
last year they finished close second to the
winner of the Downing cup. In the eight the
Potomacs will enter 4sI the following crew: c. G.
e. Sawyer, A. win Norton, 8; Joseph Tobin, g.
f. r. Reynolds, Z; Isadore Dyer, s; j. II. Doyle,
coxswain. This is fair crew, well boated,
and ought to make fair race. They have
been together but one week and have not
really had time to bring themselves up to the
perfection of crews usually sent out by the Po-
tomaes They will meet the Yespers of Phila-
delphia, and the Ariels, of Baltimore, and the
