Read the latest books.
Bathe early and often.
Seek cool, shady hooks.
Throw fancy work away. .
Wear lightest, lowest shoes.
Ride at morn and walk at eve.
Believe that walters are human.
Let hats be light and bonnets airy.
Eschew kid gloves and linen collars.
Hurry never, thus being at leisure
ever.
Dress in cambrics, lawns and ging-
hams.
Be lavish with laundresses, fruit
men and fans.
Court the sea breezes, but avoid
the hot sands,
Let melons precede, and berries fol-
low the breakfast.
Store up the sweet and give small
place to the bitter.
Remember that seeming idleness is
sometimes gain.
Retire when in the mood and arise
when most inclined.
Order freshest fish and corn-cake /;
never mind the heavy fritters.
Remember that nine -tenths of sthe
people are at the seashore for rest
If you feel like doing a good deed,
treat dozen street children to ice.
cream. This is mission work.
Do not tell your hostess how sweet
the butter and cream were at your last
summers boarding place.
Remember that children are only
small editions of older people, and
tina: they have feelings quite as acute.
Look pleasantly at the tired stran-
ger who glances wistfully at the part
OF your car seat occupied by your
wraps, even if you do not offer her the
seat.-Anna P. Payne, In THE Ladies'
Home Journal.

NEw YORK, Feb. 2l.-Tho fastest train
on Long Island Is the sag Harbor ex-
press. II tears through all the smaller
towns at forty-fy miles an hour, with
never stop. Pearsalls, just beyond
jamaica, is usually one OF those towns,
but yesterday the train slowed up there
as suddenly as train can slow up with
"a frightened engineer clinglng 10 the
throttle. As the train came sweeping
down the engineer saw right In the
middle OF the track little child waving
It's arms and smiling cheerily at the on
rushing mass The baby was the son of
Henry Powell, proprietor of the Pear

rails and was delightedly waving to the
pretty locomotive that was shrieking
out It's protest la wild whistling.
George b. Watts, passing near by,
heard the whistling and wondered care
lessly what IL was all about. He glanced
down the track and saw the little fellow
waving and smiling tn the path OF the
train. There was one bare chance OF
reaching him before the engine, and tho
young man took 1t. He ran as he never
ran before. The train was still going 81
terrific speed In spite OF the engineers
efforts, and to the onlookers the two
seemed TO reach the child at the same
moment. Watts was the quicker by a
shadow, and he caught up tho child and
rolled out OF the way as the train swept
by with the engine shrieking a shrill
recognition OF the heroism that had saved
the little one.

CuIC AGO, Feb. 2i.-Probably the most
important meeting yet held by the
worlds fair directory was concluded Just
before midnight last night. When ad-
journment was taken the directors had
formally voted 10 abandon the lake front
as part OF the site for the exposition
The fair will be concentrated at jackson
park.
Estimates were submitted showing
the saving OF $1,000, 900 In con-
structlon aud operating expenses
by putting all the fair in
one place, aud this, together with the
interminable delays encountered In har-
monizlng the vast interests affected by
the use OF the lake front, resulted in
sending the entire show TO the southern
part OF the city. Nothing will be done
with the lake front save 20 beautify It
with fountains and statuary as memo
rials OF the exposition.

sented demands for the employment OF
union labor as far as possible; an eight

OF si.50 per day for nnskilied labor, and

difficulty which everywhere beset its
path the big Pittsburg firms at once be-
gan cutting prices In the hope of dam
aging their smaller and weaker compet-
itors. Now the same manufacturers
have adopted a new course, having run the
price Of glass down as low as they could
safely venture. They are endeavoring
to buy up the output Of all the western
manufacturers and thus gain control Of
the market Representatives of the
Pittsburg factories are now travelling
thorough the west endeavoring 10 con-
tract at the prevailing prices for the en-
tire output OF the smaller glass factories
of Ohio and Indiana. IL will take a
mint of money to carry this plan through
successfully, but IL Is believed IL can be
done. Some OF the Findlay factories

made to afford the people chance To
see the casket, but so great was the
crowd that all could not crafty their de-
sire In the short time allowed at
Greenville, a small village west OF
Vandalia. A number OF veterans
were drawn up in line on the platform,
aud as the train came to a stop they
presented arms aud one of their number
sounded taps on the bngle. Quite a
crowd Of people from the city aud sur
rounding country were present and
viewed the casket. At every lit
tie cross road, as the train
neared 81. Louis, were groups
OF people and one aud all stood uncoy-
cred as the train passed. This mark of
respect was universal during the entire
trip from New York. A large crowd OF
persons, mostly railroad men, gathered
at East Louis. After a few minutes
stop the train started across the bridge
TO this city.
