queutly. Don't give him meat Give
him a bone to chew once in a while.
For staple food give him milk dishes and
vegetables. a great many people will
tell you dog won't eat vegetables. If
a dog turns away from vegetables the
first time take them away at once Give
him fresh supply at the next meal. He
will be hungry enough to eat them then,
and soon will take to them as naturally
as to meat
Dogs should frequently be washed in
cold water containing little alcohol
Use common yellow soap If you must
muzzle your dog in summer, don't keep
him without a muzzle all the rest of the
year Put it on him for half hour or
so every day, and he will get so used to
it that when he has to wear it steadily
it won't worry him. If people would do
this for their pets there would be fewer

The cold Maid Question Solved.

The professor of natural science at Ann
Arbor was discussing the process of
fertilizing plants by means of insects
carrying the pollen from one plant to
another, and to amusc them told how
the old maids were the ultimate cause Of
it all. The humble bees carry the pol
len; the field mice cat the humble bees;
therefore the more tield-micc, the fewer
humble bees and the less pollen and
variation of plants. But cats deVour the
tield-mice and old maids protect the cats.
Therefore the more old maids, the more
cats, the fewer mice, the more bees.
Hence old maids are the cause of variety
in plants.
Thereupon, sophomore with single
eye-glass, an English umbrella, box
coat with his trousers rolled up at the
bottom, arose and asked:
81 Say, professah, what is the cause
ah-of old maids, don't you know2'
perhaps Miss Jones can tell you, y
suggested the professor.
"Dudes'' said Miss Jones sharply and
without moments hesitation.
There was silence in the room for the
space of thirty seconds, after which the
lecture was resumed. II Detroit Free

Food for Hot Weather.

Too much care cannot be exercised
about what one eats and drinks IN warm,
muggy days. The blood cannot give up
its carbonic acid when the air is hot and
heavily charged with moisture. 1t is
only natural that it should be difficult to
obtain a sufficient supply of oxygen to
keep up good health 1t is rule that
may be pretty generally applied, that
less animal food is needed in the summer
than in the winter. Animal food is very
rich in heat units, and since the air sup
plies all the heat necessary, it Is only
charging the stomach with useless labor
by filing it with heavy diet. BY that Is
meant such things as fat meats, greasy
cabbage, pork beans and solid pastry.
Nobody need conIine himself to q strict
dietary law, but there are a few injunc-
tions which if only half obeyed will add
much to human comfort. In the first
place, it is we'll to bear in mind that the
skin does nearly twice its usual amount
of work in hot weather. Hence it fol-
flows that IN increased supply Of liquids
is required. Water is perhaps the best
Of I'LL fluids, but it should not be taken
in large quantities at time; neither
should it be very cold. Chilled drinks
arrest digestion and cause much suffer
ing and discomfort. Milk is a splendid
beverage, because it both Quenchcs the
thirst and contains nOuTishment. The
sensation of thirst is located in the throat,
Just back of the palate, and not, az many
persons Celicve, in the stomach. If
slowly slipped, half glass of water will
relieve the most aggravated sensation of
thirst Just as we'll as a pitcher full of
ice water. If more fluid than is ncces
sary is absorbed it will only put the skin
and kidneys to the task Of getting rid
OF the surplus, and that accounts for
profuse and unnatural perspiration.
Small quantities of alcoholic stimulants,
we'll diluted, may be taken at all times,
but. like other things, with moderation.
Fruits, when ripe and juicy, are always
refreshing and seldom any harm comes
from their use. These few facts, together
with cooling bath, if borne in mind,
will make the hot spell far more bearable
than it otherwise would be- New York

A Remarkable Old Woman.

The earthly remains of Mrs. katl-
Stuff. the oldest resident of this come
munity, were recently consigned to their
last resting place, says Greencastle
(Pcnn.) correspondent of the st. LOUIS
Globe Democrat. Mrs. Stuff, who was
familiarly called AUNT Katie" by all
who knew her, was a remarkable woman
in many respects. She was almost
ninety eight years of age at the time OF
her death, and Up to within few days
before the happening of that event had
not drank or tasted water since she was
a little girl. Aunt Katie insisted that
water wasn't healthy" aad drank tea
and coffee only.
Fishing used to be one of her passions.
Getting up early in the morning IN
summertime, she would Eli the pocket
of her dress with grasshoppers, pin it to
keep them secure, and then, rod IN
hand, she would repair to the banks of
the Couococheague creek, often putting
the local fishermen to the blush by her
skill. For the past ten years 1t was
source of great pride to her to visit the
harvest field each summer and bind
sheaf of grain, which was always faith
fully recorded by the local press, afford
ing her the highest qualification. Last
summer, however, old age triumphed,
and "Aunt Katie to her great distress,
was compelled to break the record for
the first time.
II will never die she used to assert
proudly. II will just dry up and blow
away--sce if DON'T And she almost
kept her word. At the time of her
death it would not have taken much OF
a gale to have waited her away on its
pinions. Mrs Stuff was born In Green
Village, franklin county, and while still
in her teens married man named Mil
Ter, and removed to this neighborhood,
where she has resided ever since. After
the death of her first husband she mar
ried John Stuff, millwright, whose
relict she was at the time of her death.
She was a member of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church for over eightyone
years. She leaves eighteen grand
children, forty-six great grandchildren
and two Observation-Disclosures to
mourn her loss.

The Purpose of Jetties.

The purpose of the jetties is to in
crease the depth of the river over bars by
narrowing the channels. The bars ex-
isting at the mouth of the Mississippi
were serious impeachment to commerce.
The application of the jetties was first
proposed and presented to Congress by
Captain James B.. Eads March 3, 1875.
He was authorized to undertake the work
at the risk of himself aud associates. In
the face of much opposition he brought
the energy OF the river to bear upon the
great bar of sand and silt separating
South Pass from the deep water Of the
Gulf of Mexico, thus increasing the
depth from seven and one half to thirty
feet and achieving complete success.

Introduction of Broom Corn.

BENJAMIN Franklin is supposed to
have introduced broom corn. 1t is said
that in examining an imported whlsk
broom he discovered q seed attached to
one of the spints: this ne removed and
planted in his garden, where it grew
and rIpened seed, which was saved for
future use. From this small! beginning
it is supposed the first stack of broom
corn was derived in this country. Be-
fore broom corn was cultivated brooms
were made of the small slender twigs of
birch or similar trees, or made OF the
peeled flbres of the water beech. Fifty
years ago almost every farmer made his
own brooms, especially those used in the
barn and about the stables. The best
and most durable of these were made OF
water beech, and during winter even
ings. The plant known in Europe as
Broom" is botanically Cytirus
scoparius, small evergreen shrub with
numerous very tough, slender branches,
from which brooms have long been and
are still made by the country people. 1t
is very prettj shrub with bright yellow
plants, and is often cultivated in this
country as an ornamental plant. New
