of doors it is unwise to arrange for any hot
dishes. Salads, cold meats, jellies and ices

Unless one has ample conveniences for

a light collation. and have it elegantly
served. Sometimes an immense bowl of
lemonade, frappe or punch is placed on a
separate table and Labeled into dainty cups.

The Perfect Exercise,

An enthusiastic advocate of walking as
an exercise affirms that few things, if any,
are so effectual in building up and sustain
ing the physical organization as walking,
if resolutely and judiciously followed. 1t
is perfect exercise. 1t taxes the entire sys-
ten. When you walk properly every mem
Der and muscle ever nerve and fiber has
something to do. The arms swing back
ward and forward, keeping step as it were
with the legs; the chest expands and con-
tracts as the lungs fill and discharge; the
drummer boy pulse beats a tune for the
march; the legs curve and straighten the
feet rise and fall, while the head rides over
all, but not as a deadhead. Every sense it
has is employed, every faculty alert.
The nostrils expand to quaff the breeze;
the ears turn to every sound; the eyes roll
in their sockets, sweeping from left n
right, from earth to sky; the brain is at
work through all its parts. Progress
under such conditions is the very eloquence
of physical motion. What is the effect
The flesh is solidified; the lungs grow
strong and sound; the chest enlarges; the
limbs are rounded out; the tendons swell
and tougher; the figure rises in height and
dignity, and is clothed with grace and
suppleness. Hunters, who walk much, are
tall and straight, while sailors, who scarce
ly walk at all, are low and squat.

STRYCHNINE AS A MEDICINE.

Russian Physicians Pronounce 1t of Great
Value in Chronic Alcoholism.
DR.. Camper, of ST. Petersburg, has re-
Gently made careful investigation into the
effect of nitrate of strychnine upon the
functional activities of the stomach. He
found, through experiments upon four
healthy young hospital assistants, that
strychnine increased the. amount of gastric
juice secreted, the general acidity and the
quantity of free acid in the secretion. 1t
also fastened the absorption from the
stomach and strengthened the mechanical
movements. Its effect, too, continued for
some time after it's administration had
been stopped. The Lancet states that. like
many other Russian observers, Dr. Gam
per seems to have been highly impressed
by the value of strychnine in chronic alco-
holism, declaring that it is the most effec-
tive of all drugs in such cases

Picnic TablecIoths and Floor Cushions.
Summer fancies in needlework are shown
in some charming self colored designs. For
instance, a tablecloth will have the pretty
border delicately tinged with terra Gotta
thrown up with few deeper shades; a side
board slip will bear a fine pattern wrought
IL shades of water blue silks.
Finger bowl doilies are shown in dainty
colorings and artistic designs. A large
water lily embroidered in white and gold
a pansy or a rose of size adapted for use
beautifully embroidered and then cut out,
makes quite as pretty an ornament for the

For picnic or out-of-door table covers
checked grass toweling in squares of diff
ferent colors may be finished with a border
in cross stitch done in red marking cotton.
This is worked over canvas basted on the
toweling, while fringe of the same may
be knotted on the edges. A monogram or
design of fruit or flowers will be appropri-
ate to fill in the corners. If the toweling
is not as wide as desired by joining two
breadths, then feather stitching the seam
ard stripping the cover with lines of feather
stitch, it may gain in width and ornamen-

Very new and taking in toilet cushion

The Care of an Oil Stove.

The preventive for bad smell in an oil
stove is TO use good oil and TO keep the
stove absolutely and perfectly clean. Every
day the flues over the burners must be
thoroughly cleansed. Several thicknesses
Of old soft cotton cloth tied around a stick
answer for this purpose better than any
brush. The oil reservoir must on no ac-
count be filled TO the brm, or the oil oozes
out and causes a smell. Once a week it is
well to wash every getatable part with hot
water and soda. This thoroughly takes off
any oily SCOT which may have accumulated
anC which is the chief cause of smell!

CHILDISH ERRORS.

Sometimes one fixes fault in a child by

1t becomes an expression of nervousness.
The child repeats the fault through an in-
ability to pass over it. 1t becomes like a
hard word in the spelling book that he has
met before. He recognizes the word with
out knowing its name, and at the same
moment remembers his struggles with it,
and the painful impression fills him with
nervousness; his mind becomes confused
and he cannot control his thought. 1t is
wise with fault, as with the hard word,
to let it 20 to escape it. Omit the hard
word; avoid anything to excite the habit
