The value of lime water about the
house In the summer can scarcely bs
overestimated. To prepare 1t is an easy
matter, as all that Is necessary is to put
q layer of unslaked lime in q wide
mouthed jar and fill it with cold water.
There Ia no danger of using too much
lime, as the water will only take mp 80
much, however much is put In. II
takes only few hours for the water to
take mp all the lime that is possible.
After it has stood say five hours the wa
ter may be drained off and more wa
ter added until the lime is all absorbed.
Acidity of the stomach is corrected by
adding little lime water TO the drink
ing water. A teaspoonful of lime water
added to o glass OF milk corrects the
tendency which milk has to coagulate
In the stomach, forming hard, indi-
gestible mass For this reason It should
be added to the milk fed the little
children, and nursing bottles should be
rinsed with 1t. AS mild disinfectant
there is nothing safer or better.

The Gladioli.

The splendid gladioli which now orna-
ment all American gardens, from the
finest to the humblest, when summer is
at its height, are, as every one knows,
natives Of the Cape of Good Hope, great
ly improved and infinitely diversified by
cultivation. But perhaps it Is not as
generally known that the old fashioned
hardy species, bearing few small rose
red or, rarely, white blossoms, which our
grandmothers loved long before its
Shower cousins became the fashion, is
of European origin, and Is indeed fa-
miliar field flower throughout central
and southern Europe.
In those parts of southern France
where the festival called the Fete Dieu
is still publicly observed, its varieties
are more generally employed than any
other flowers to decorate the canopies
borne in the professions and the little
shelters where they halt. Garden and

Columbus believed the solid part of
the sphere TO be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance by the sunset road
between the East Indies and western
Europe to be less than 1t Is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution and sue
cess of his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by tho
waters; the continent interposed be-
tween his own Europe and the land of
diamonds, gold and spices; the difficulty
and peril of the passage yet TO be braved
In the far regions Of the antasctic pole IN
order to sail from our continental En-
rope to the oriental Indies by the west
ern way, he would perhaps have shrunk
back in alarm and dread. Emilio Cas-

~ had q curious experience while
passing through lew York" said a
western lady to some friends on tho
beach at Newport. "SVe had taken
rooms at the B--k, and unfortunately
reached New York just in time for an
absolutely torrid hot wave AS had
pressing need for few days shopping
kept my husband and brother in town
for forty-eight hours, to their great dis
comfort, and they spent their evenings
by the windows of our sitting room in
the hghtest of attire, drinking iced
drinks and trying vainly to keep cool.
The night before we left town we re-
tired rather late, after the men had
been solacing themselves in their usual
fashion.
eft was so hot that 1t was some time
before could sleep, and Just as was
dozing off remembered that had left
my rings on the dressing table near the
sitting room door, the windows of which
were wide open ON little iron balcony.
"A good chance for robbers thought
drowsily, but was too lazy to get mp to
put them in q safer place. Late in the
night was aroused by the report of u
pistol, or what sounded like one; and
my first impression was that was shot,

shoulders, in something that i felt sure
for the moment was blood.

light and turned ON the gas, you have

claimed Indignantly, feeling that after
ell he wasn't worthy of tender death
bed scene, and that felt all right again.
by Jove, you are moist he said, put
ting his hand on my shoulder. but 1t Is
not blood, whatever 1t is.' Suddenly he
gave great guffaw Of laughter and
pointed to the parlor, which was dimly
lighted by the gasjet in my room.
Well, what Is 1t? / don't see any
thing, put in GROSSLY, for by this time
/ felt thoroughly upset.
"'Oh, 1t is too delicious he gasped.
you have been shot, you poor little
thing. but not by burglars; only by a
soda water bottle, and there on the table,
where he and my brother Harry had left
them, lay couple of bottles, one point
ing as straight for my bed as IL 1t had
been aimed at me. Henry had cut tho
wires confning the cork Of one of the
bottles and had then concluded not to
open 1t, and suppose the heat may have
helped the effervescence, for the force Of
the explosion carried both cork and the
soda water across the room, hitting me
on the shoulder.

two men enjoyed my shooting affair
