What Keeps Women Young.

A woman is happy just in proportion as
she is content. The sun has a way of
changing the spots upon which it shines.
Especially is this true of our land, where
one is up today and down tomorrow, and
vice versa The yisest woman is she who
trusts in tomorrow, but never looks for
it. To sit down and wish that this might
be, that that would be different, does a
woman no good II does her harm In that
1t makes her dissatisfied with herself, IN
pleasant 70 her friends. and makes her old
before her time Happiness is not always

think it is. but there IS a world Of wisdom
in many an old proverb Just the same

one war Of PreparIng Rice.

Rice is most valuable assistant to the
housekeeper who understands its possibili-
ties, especially in the way of simple and
appetizing desserts. Yet in many house
holds rice cups or plain rice pudding seem
the alpha and omega of rice compounds. A
very nice dessert is cream of rice, which is
made as follows: Rub two tablespoonfuls
of ground rice smoothly into a little cold
milk, sweeten pint of milk TO taste, favor
with bit of vanilla and stir over the fire
till the mixture thicl1ens. Pour it into a
basin, and when cool mix in a half pint of
whipped cream; put the mixture in mold,

When set, turn it out. and have ready
some stoned prunes stewed with little
sugar of water. or, 10 be very nice, in lit
tie claret; pile these in the center, with a
trife of whipped cream on the top. This
is delicious dainty for the children, yet

The Danger from Cold Drinks.


"In my opinion" said a physician,
ut is not so great mistake to indulge
in cold drinks in warm weather as it is
to drink them rapidly. On hot day it
is almost inevitable that people should
drink, and what the system seems TO
crave is something cold. II that some
thing could be a little less than ice cold
it would be so much the better. But it
is practically out of the question to get a
drink Of a temperature of 40 or AZ degs..
say, which is about as cold as is neces-
sary in order to meet the demands Of
nature
$50, then, ice cold drinks are likely to
remain permanency, and thousands
and thousands of people will continue to
drink them. Now. what | should advise
is that they perform the operation with
some deliberation. The man who swal-
lows glass OF soda water or anything
else at temperature of 81 or thereabout
does dangerous thing The danger IS
in suddenly chilling the nerves Of the
stomach, and the result may be sudden
paralysis There is neither sense nor
reason in drinking thus rapidly.
II do not mean, on the other hand,
that it is necessary to wait until the
drink, whatever it is, has grown warm
What plead for is that people should
take fifteen or twenty seconds, or even
half a minute, in swallowing glass Of
soda or beer or whatever they use 70 sat

that much time-even the most hurried
man--and the result cannot fail 70 be

Neishbors and Social Relation,

While 1t Is pleasant TO have neighbors
with whom we are on familiar social re-
lations, the fact that we are neighbors
merely Is no reason why such relations
should exist Certainly no one has any
reason TO be offended if a neighbol
chooses 10 live in retirement, or does not
return obsequious calls. Too many OF
the calls on new neighbors, which are
considered social duty in many dis.
tricts Of the country, are simply pryine
errands TO see if the pSrlor carpet is
genuine Brussels or rag. or whether the
new neighbor keeps her hair in curl
papers at calling hours, or is a good
manager or a hopeless slattern, or some
thing else. which is no possible concern
Of the caller.-New York Tribune.

ADJUSTMENTS.
NEW SCENE TO THE STAGE.


wben neonle 90 to the theater they like
to feel that they have had their moneys
worth. and naturally they are somewhat
RELUCTANT to patroniZe an attraction which
&c new to them and of whose merit they
are. therefore doubtful. For this reason 1t
not ipfreQuently happens that really nne
attractions play to empty benches, when
would have been literally filled had the
merits of the performance been more
widely known. From the laudatory men-
tion given in our local exchanges TO Geo.
c. Staley in "a Royal Pass, we venture
to assure our readers that no dlsappolnt-
rnent will wait on those who witness THIS
performance at the Crawford Grand next
Saturday evening. Mr.. Staley Is ssio 10
be the equal of our favorite dialect come
dians. Emmett Scanlan and Joe Murphy.
His role is that of Swiss guide, in which
he has ample opportunity to display MS
dramatic talent. both in pathos ana com
edv, and his sweet singing voice In lulla-
bies and yodling. His play is OF hlgh
order of literary merit, full OF tender
pathos and breezy comedy.
The growing demand for reallstlc
mechanical effects on the stage
has set the heads of theatrical managers
at work devising sensational novelties.
Mr.. Staley's new idea is locomotive race,
which is given By two locomotives on
double tracks His engines are regularly
built, with boilers, whistles, bells and all
fittings belonging to a locomotive, one
engine carrying five and the other two
persons aboard during the scence, and not
painted dummies as in other so-called rail-
road plavs. This is undoubtedly one of
the greatest sensational scenes of the age,
and Mr.. Staley can safely say that he has
capped all other efforts made in this direc-
tion Manager Parker has surrounded
Mr. Staley with a fine cast OF players and
promises that nothing will be left undone
to render the initial appearance OF this
attraction one of the hits of the season.

PRESENCE OF MIND IN THE HOME.
Much Depends on a Cool Head for Many
Small Catastrophes in the House.

Much Depends on a Cool Head for Many
Small CatastrOphes in the House.
Presence of mind is never more essential
| than in the home. Small catastrophes
which may lead to most grievous results
are frequent. Given cool head and deft
touch and all is WELL but the nervous wom-
an or the woman who expends her energies
by screaming over slight mishaps may
easily bring on dire disaster from slight
causes. In case of fire it is especially neces-
sary to have some one about who is pos
sessed of a cool head and is capable of act
ing promptly and wisely.
The most successful and ready way in
which to put out small fire is to smother
it in any thick wooden article which may
be at hand. Lace curtains and light win
dow drapery are quite liable to catch fire
from gas Jets, when the latter are unpro-
tected by shades, and for that reason gas
Jet near curtain should always have q
shade over it, as the slightest gust of wind
may blow the inflammable material against
the light, when it will instantly break into
a blaze. In such cases the only thing to
do is to tear down the curtain without the
least delay and smother it with any wooden
material at hand.
1t is useless to specify or multiply in
stances, for each case Is an emergency Of
it's own and brings its own difficulties,
which only GOODNESS and promptness can
solve Where there has been but a slight
fire there frequently are serious burns on
the person, and to the treatment of these
it is well to pay attention, as prompt ac-
tion is of the greatest necessity.
Where there has been a serious case Of
burning. the absence of pain, often fea-
ture of the case, is bad omen, as it shows
that the nerves have been seriously shocked
Severe pain on the other side is not always
an indication of a dangerous case. Where
burn appears to be serious a physician
should be summoned at once. In the
meantime an external remedy which shall
exclude the air should be used.
Wet piece of old linen with equal parts
of lime water and olive oil, shaken well
together. and apply it to the injured part,
covering it with a layer of cotton wadding.
Where lime water and oil are not at hand.
layer of dry -four or of olive oil alone may
be applied. An application of equal parts
of hot water and milk with a little bicar-
Donate of soda in it is another preparation
recommended If you have nothing else
at hand, use warm water applied on linen
rag and covered with another rag or with
cotton wadding. The use of stimulants to
support the strength of person suffering
from a severe burn is essential.
In case of burns from alkalies, lime or
potash, weak vinegar or diluted acid will
frequently soothe the suffering. In case
of burns from strong acids, like oil of
vitriol, carbonate of soda and water or
lime water should at once be applied, or
even a thick mixture of soap and water.
After this olive oil may be used. 1t is
good plan to keep lime water always on
hand in case of slight burns, such as are
sometimes received in work about the

Excellent Toast for Invaiids.

The usual slice of toast, brown on each
side and soft in the middle, healthful
enough for those who have strong diges-
tion, may be much improved for dyspep-
tics and sick persons by baking the slices
of bread in the oven until delicate even
brown. In this twice baked bread, which
is the German way of making toast, the
bread is already partly digested, as the
starch in the -four is by the heat changed
into dextrine
Stale bread used in this way may be put
away without danger of molding and used
at any time for milk toast, or cut into
small squares for eating with soup.-New
York Post

naturally follows that to continue to give
milk in such case would simply be put
ting fuel upon the fire
As mothers cannot know just when the
diarrhea is excited by this cause, they
would do well in every instance to stop
giving milk at once as soon as the trouble
commences, and either withhold food alto
gether until the physician arrives, or give
only the whites of eggs in water. the mix
ture being about the consistency of milk.
This is highly nourishing, and a baby
might live for days and days upon it alone

BLISS ON BICYCLES.
Connecticut Man and his Bride Ride
all the Way to
Chicago.
A Romance in Which the Safety has
Played an Important
Part.

CHICAGO, Aug. lO.-lr. H. ". Bald
win and bride reached the Granu Pa
cifc hotel last night, completing q
remarka BILE honeymoon. Since July 6,
when they were married at their home
in Norwalk, Conn, they have been
touring the country on their safety"
bicycles. In al the happy couple have
travelled nearly 800 miles in thirty-lwo
days.
Dr. Baldwin Is a handsome Young
ma of about -. His bride is petite
young woman of -, with a healthy
glow in her checks that betokens the
healthiulnes, OF bicycling, There is
quite romance connected with the
marriage OF the doctor and his bride, IN
which the bicycle cuts a prominent
part. DR.. Baldwin is one of Norfolks
leading dentists and has for years been
an enthusiastic hicyclist. About
year and a half ago there came to his
office Il pretty young woman named
NorfolkS leading citizens. She
had a tooth that had worried
her for many days and finally
she had mustered up courage
enough to come and have it repaired.
DR.. Baldwin filled the aching tooth and
did the job so we'll that thereafter the
doctor and his pretty patient became
quite friendly. The doctor followed
up the acquaintance, and he it was
who taught Miss Stanley to ride bl-
cycle. Quite a sensation was created in
quiet \ orfolk at the spe .tacle OF young
woman riding a wheel as she was the
first one in the town to mount one.
Some Of the spinSterS of the town were
terribly shocked, and the sewing circles
discussed female bicycle riding with
gravity that would have been laugh
able in any other city than
peaceful Norfolk. Finally one of
the old maids who had condemned BIZ
cycle-riding as heresy brought out
wheel herself. The ice was broken
and every body rode bicycles after that.
DR.. Baldwin and Miss Stanley were al
most constantly together, and fire.
quently took log rides into the coun-
try. 1t was on one of these trips that
Miss Stanley was wooed and won.
DIR. Baldwin and his wife had quite
an experience while crossing the Lit
tie Tongue river in southern Iowa.
The stream had swollen from recent
rains and had swept the small. foot
bridge away. Securing an AK
from a farmer close by DR.. Baldwin
cut down two trees on the bank SO they
fell across the stream. Putting fence
boards across the trees the doctor made
a fairly good bridge. He crossed in
safety, but his wife became dizzy when
nearly across and toppled over, but was
caught just IN time by her husband.
A few moments later great log came
sailing down the stream and smashed
into the lmprovised bridge. breaking
it loose and sending it down the tor
rent.
DR.. and Mrs. baldwin will remain in
Chicago for several days to test the
railroads and will then resume their
journey homeward
