The city of Glasgow took up the matter
and built swimming pools properly.
The result is that while there is only
minimum charge for their use they have
paid well on the investment, and instead
of being in the nature Of q charity they
have proved a well paying business invest
ment.
In the plan here given there is, first, n
reading room at one side Of the entrance.
In it is CRATE, and at one corner an open
ing into the hall, where may be placed a
managers desk. He can deal out towels
to those passing intothe poolroom through
the entrance, and without their coming
into the room. This reading room is a
place where people can sit and read for a
little time, either before or after taking a
bath, or both. OF from the reading room
is cardroom.
The poolroom itself must bear evidence
every hour in the day Of being perfectly
and absolutely clean. The impression
must be created the minute one enters the
room, and all practical experience must
justify and sustain that impression. All
this is largely matter of construction,
though attention aRd executive ability
will have a good deal to do with it. How.
ever, If poolroom be not properly con.
strycted it Is not possible to keep it clean.
The floor should be of white tile and to
height of 6 feet above the floor the
walls should be lined either with white
enameled tiling or white enameled brick.
The latter is preferable.
Above the brick or tiling yellow brick
may bo used. The pool itself should be
lined with enameled tiling. The dressing

Do you know how it is that they do soi
The COW chews her cud; that is, she chews
her food twice. The first time she eats 1t
up at once and it goes down her throat TO
her pouch, where it stays till she has a
good meal. Then she stands or lies quite
still, and the food is brought back to her
mouth that she may munich it and grind it
with her teeth till it is fit to go down her
throat once more The COW has more than
one pouch for her food. She has four, and
as she eats grass and herbs, as well as
roots and hay, it takes her long time TO
MUNICH and chew these things, and to make
them so soft that they may keep her strong
and in good health,
Night and morning the hired man or the
milkmaid goes to the barnyard and milks
the COW. When q pailful has been drawn
it is taken to the house or dairy and set To
cool. The cream by and by rises to the
top of the milk and is skinned Off and
put into n churn, whence it comes out but
ter. But milk, cream and butter are by
nomeans the only benefits derived from the
COW. We find many portions of it's body
Of use. The hide is tanned and gives us
leather; the flesh is cut into beefsteaks and
roasts, which we buy at the butchers, and
the horns are made into knifehandles
buttons, etc.

Lace trimming on some day dresses is SO
placed as to form sort Of deep basqued
coat at the sides and point at the back,
losing itself in the center seam. This has
the effect of taking away that look of eX-
treme plainness the tightly fitting skirts
give and which is so unbecoming to all.
A very pretty silver gray crepon, dashed
with white spots, was trimmed in this
style with white guipure; the skirt had
an old fashioned French hemmed ruche
of silk edging it, and the bodice had the
guipure arranged as epGulets and q zouave
jacket, the sleeves being tight to the el
low, with large puff ot silk aboXs.

Millinery Items.

Hats are not easy to distinguish from
bonnets, since both have strings.
Very pretty ones are of lace and flowers,
with jet or paste ornament or two, or OF
feather edged chiffon, with an osprey. The
crowns of good many of the new hats are
either of lace or jet A novel trimming
for broad brims is an overhanging frill OF
lace.
A passing fashion in French blossoms
for millinery is for hydrangeas. Women
of fashion, too, are showing predilection
for lavender.
Tiny pyramid crowns rise amid bank
Of cherries, and even shells are called into
the aid of fashionable millinery. A nau-
titus shell is an excellent setting to a
pretty face, the brim rounded in curve
on one side, the point of the shell almost
hidden by sprays of yellow laburnum; the
upper crown resting on an under one
makes hat look charming, for beneath
this upper crown there is generally vista
of flowers.
A leghorn hat with a wide brim is
crumpled up in most picturesque fashion,
two white wings, placed like those on the
cap of Mercury, covered where n crown
should be, and green velvet bow, clasped
with a diamond buckle, formed the back.

Wise Precaution.


Among the frequent visitors at the
shop of Mr.. Vickery, well known tax
idermist, was an old colored man who
was quite a character in his way, and
with whom Mr., Vickery used to enjoy
talking. One day he happened in just
as Mr.. Vickery had finished skinning
bald eagle. Would you like g goose to
take home with you" asked the taxi
dermist, pointing to the body Of the
bird, which lay wrapped in a paper on q
shelf.
Eyes, sah," replied the unsuspicious
negro. "I'd be nightly 'bliged to you,
sah."
The package was handed over to him,
and he departed rejoicing. Not long
afterward the taxidermist met him on
the street, and inquired how he had en-
joyed his goose dinner.
"Dat goose war de toughest goose dat
ever see," replied the darky, looking
his questioner full in the eye without a
shadow of a smile. II billed him an
parbiled him an billed him again, but he
was suttinly de chewinest bird dat ever
me or my ole woman seed"
With that the old man walked calmly
away.
A few days later the darky called Oh

to paper in which snowy owl wal

July.

When the scarlet cardinal tells
Her dream to the dragonny,
And the lazy breeze makes nest in the
trees,
And murmurs a lullaby,
1t is July.
When the heat like a mist veil floats,
And poppies flame in the rye,
And the silver note in tho streamlet's
throat
Has sOftened almost to a sigh,
II Is July.
When the tangled cobweb pulls
The cornhower's cap awry,
And the lilies tall lean over over the wall
To bow to the butterfly,
1t is July.
When the hours are so still that time
FOrgets them, and lets them lie
Meath petals pink till the night stars wink
At thesunset in the sky,
1t Is July.
When each fingerpost by the way
Says that Slumbertown Is nigh;
When the grass istall and the roses fall
And nobody wonders why,
1t is July.

We owe much to the COW, and when she
turns her great head and looks at us with
her big, soft eyes as we 20 by, she seems to
know that we will not hurt her. When
the COW cries outwe say she 'lows." When

IL would be risky to trust the making of

Fine white pique has been revived for
dinner and evening gowns at fashionable
resorts, and for thin white dresses chiffons
and mulls are much used Fancy crepons,
striped materials, organdy muslns and
fowered sateens are all worn, and it would
be difficult to say which of these looks the
daintiest.
Some of the prettiest cotton dresses are
very simply made. A dark blue cotton
patterned in white, that looks very nice,
has large sleeves covered with lace as far
as the elbow, and plain deep cuffs. The
yoke is of lace and cut square back and
front.
Quite the newest form of trimming for

the bottom, all edged with narrow lace.

straw with full bows of the same tint as
the shirt.

Such fendish act as this is deserving of
the most severe punishment the law allows,
and any one who shields such guilty parties
should also be held accountable In the case
referred to it is understood that one or two Of
our would-be most prominent citizens were
eye witnesses, but they deny all knowledge
of the act. The plea for neighborly good
will is too frequently used as shield for
cowardice.
