Colds
From Good Housekeepirg.I

Contrary to theprevalent opinion that
colds and coughs are due entirely to the
severity of the climate or to some unex-
pected change in the weather, they really
arise, intvery many cases, from; pure
carelessness and want of thought. Colds
are not inevitable, but could often be
avoided. If people would only use their
ideas of common sense and be reasonable.
The custom sof tmutlling the neck very
closely with furs or similar protection Is
extremely dangerous. 1t thoughtlessly
left off, severe. cold is sure. A light
wrapping, sufficient to exclude cold
wind, while permitting ventilation, gives
the best protection For instance, if one
sits in heated room while paying a
visit. or during the services at church,
without removing any of the many
wraps which have been dOnned for the
cold atmosphere out of doors, the result
is almost sure to be a severe cold, con-
tracted by the sudden change from the
heated room to the cold air.
Sleeping in badly ventilated rooms,
wearing at night the underclothing
which is worn through the day, late
hours, loss of sleep, g easy food and ir-
regularity of meals, all tend to weaken
the sy stem to such an extent as to rem
der it quite incapable of resisting the
changes in the weather or any exposure
to disease. While we all advocate cold
and we'll ventilated sleeping apartments,
we, at the same time, must condemn the
cold room for dressing in in the morning.
1t is most unhealthy, and delicate per-
son might receive such shock as to re-
suit in fatal injury. When at all posi-
BILE one should have warm dressing
room close at hand, but If the home is
not so luxurious, the family sitting room
could be utilized for this purpose, only
a very short time being required by each
person. A dressing gown and pair OF
warm bedroom slippers should be put on
as quickly as possible, and the clothes
could be carried to the sitting room,
where half the toilet could be performed
in a very few minutes.
La grip has made such terrible ravages
among us that the smile that once
arose when reference was made to it has
now changed into grave and very
serious expression. The family drug
store should be kept well stocked, for it
may contain something which shall
prove to be invaluable in relieving the
sufferer before the doctor could be sum-
moned. Four grains of quinne taken
every three hours until the temperature
is normal should speedily allay the fever.
A mustard plaster or linseed poultice
will be found to be very soothing when
there is much pain, while hot water
bottle will soon send the blood flowing
properly through the body. The trouble
with many people is that they never
think of taking care Of themselves until
the malady is an established fact.

Tested Recipes,

EGG PUFFs-Beat the white of one
egg solid, cut around the outside of the
egg so as to loosen from the jar or bowl.
Gently remove it with large spoon and
lay the egg fiat side down, on buttered
pan. Scoop out small hole in the top
of the egg and drop the whole yolk in
the center. Bake until light brown. A
little salt sprinkled in the white, while
whipping it, will cause the egg to retain
its shape after 1t is taken from the oven.
Serve hot, sprinkled with salt and
pepper.
DUTCH APPLE CAKE-Serve with
lemon sauce as a pudding, or hot, with
butter, as a tea cake. Mix together
while dry one pint of sifted flour, half a
teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of
baking powder and quarter of cup
full of flour. Beat one egg, add to it a
cupful of milk and stir into the dry mix
ture; spread the dough half an inch thick
in shallow baking pan. Core, pare and
cut into eighths five sour apples, lay
them sharp edge down in parallel rows
on top of the dough, pressing them in
slightly. Sprinkle one third of cupful
of sugar over the apples and bake in a
hot oven thirty minutes.

Single Beds.
From New York Advocate.

If these were more numerous than they
are, great many people would be better
off. When one is tired, sick, cross, rest
less, out of sorts, he or she ought to
sleep alone and not communicate by
proximity the maladies that affect him.
The brute creatures when sick go away
by themselves till they die or get over
their troubles, and this instinct great
many human beings have; those that
have it are best if INDUCED in it. not to
the slightest degree of neglect, however.
Left TO themselves, they can compose
their internal discussions, recover their
lost equilibrium, aud get back their ha-
btual rate of ''vihratiOn ;" whereas, il
continually disturbed, and crossed"
and interrupted, they are long time in
getting back to the normal. Where two
children in family must share the same
room, in great many cases they would
be better off to have two single beds
rather than one wide double bed. We
can share great many things with
those we love, but solitude clings to us
from birth to death. We come into the
world alone, we must go out of it
alone, and we live in it alone in a
certain important sense, and to get
and keep our s'bearings" we must some
times be left alone. 1t is good that we
should be. He who has his bed to him
self may be essentially alone for por-
ton of the "a hours, may have himself
to himself, and adjust his internal me-
chanism to his own satisfaction. For a
great many woes and ills, solitude is a
Dalm-what we call solitude-for when
alone the immaterial asserts itself, the
actual fades, the real is present with us.

THE LAND OF usED-TO-BE.

Beyond the purple, hazy trees
OF summers utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies the land long lost to me-
The land of Used.to- Be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
To Jason In that mystic tongue
That dazed men with Its melody;
Oh, such a land, with such a sea,
Kissing It's shores eternally,
Is the fair Used-toBe.
land where music ever girds
The air with bells of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even in the lowing herds
A meaning lives SO sweet to me,
Lost laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed DER with all the glee
Ofrare old Used-to-Be.
Oh, land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots,
OF coolest greenest, grassy plots
Embossed with wild forget-me-nots,
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their sweet faces up to me
Out of the past; kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-Be.
Ilcve We all, and with wet eyes n
Turned glimmeringly on the skies,
My blessings like your perfumes rise,
Till DER my soul a silence lies,
Sweeter than any song to me,
Sweeter than melody
Or ITS sweet echo. yea, all three
My dreams Of Used-to-Be.

How TO Care for an Umbrella.

After coming in out of the storm let
the umbrella down and stand it on the
handle, that it may dry in this position ;
the water will thus drip fIom the edges
of the frame and the cover dry uniform
". When placed with the handle up
ward, as is frequently done, the water
runs to the top of the umbrella. and the
moisture is there retained in the lining
underneath the ring for some length OF
tine causing the silk Or fabric with which
the frame is covered to become tender
and soon rot. Ordinarily the top of an
umbrella wears out sooner than the other
part of it. and in the majority of cases

NEW YORK, July 2e.-For those who
have been stricken with sorrow and
mourning there is now, as there always
has been, a proper habiliment of woe,
but that, like wedding garments, varies
but slightly, and generally consists in
the adoption of the current mode of
cutting and the length of the veil, the
one flmy white, the other heavy and
black. For the last two seasons there
has been an unusual display Of Ceur-
tauld Grape on all mourning garments,
and it still continues until there is more
Grape than Henrietta, which still re-
mains the proper fabric for deep mourn
ing. Later on there can be worn camels
hair. cashmere and even dull meshed
greEadine, or if the season is warm
black percale is suitable material.

mo SILKS are WORN IN urSC mourning,
and when they are permissible they
should be of the dull variety, not glossy.
Where the wearer is obliged to be out
much in bad weather land many are
obliged to work for their living, render
ing much exposure necessary most
serviceable gown can be made of nuns
serge. Be sure to get the Priestley, or
it may be dye burned and SO not dura-
BILE. Such dress will bear the hardest
treatment, and always look well as long
as thread holds together.
The first mourning for parent or for
a husband can be made after the style
of the gown on the left, the bottom be-
ing bordered ten inches deep with Grape,
and a Russian blouse is held in by a
grosgrain ribbon. The bonnet in the
illustration is not strictly a widows
bonnet, but is suitable for young girl
in mourning for parent. The veil is
attached to the back of the bonnet. The
widows bonnet is fatter and the trim
mings closer to permit of the veil fall
ing over the face. The little white
Grape ruche or cap is no longer obliga-
tory, and many ladies shrink from pub
fishing thus plainly the exact nature OF
their bereavement.
The gown on the right is for home
wear and admits of a slight break in the
severity of outline. The bordering of
Grape is headed by a narrow band of
dead jet, and the sleeves and waist can
also have an outlining of it. A sash of
Grape with fish tail ends falls on the left
side, and deep Vatican plat in the
back forms the demitrain. The gowns
are made Of silk warp Henrietta, as that
is the only suitable material to go with
heavy Grape. OF course gowns of plain
camel's hair and cashmere are worn,
but neither Of them will take much
Grape. 1t somehow does not harmonic
well with those fabrics.
Black linen, in sheer quality, percale
and lawn all make pretty ordinary
dresses, and they should be made very
simply. With such, a black straw hat,
with loops of plain, dull ribbon, with
perhaps very little Grape, can be worn.
Black suede gloves are worn rather
more than the smooth finished.
All persons in mourning should wear
stiff null neckwear and handkerchiefs
with plain hemstitched black border
ings, deep or narrow, according to the
nearness Of the relationship. Widows
usually affect deeper mourning than
mothers, though fail to see why the
grief of one is deeper than the other.
But so it is, and widow will have bor-t
ders ~ inches deep to her handkerchiefs.
Hemmed null collars and cuffs with
square corners look well, and are more
pleasing to the eye than that somber
black.
If lady wishes to have everything in
keeping she will have black hosiery and
black skirts-silk if she can afford it.
An elderly lady can wear Henrietta
shawl. Younger women can have any
style of wrap in vogue, made of Alys
cloth or some other regular mourning
material and trimmed with heavy Eng
lish Grape.
