KEEPING The HOUSE COOL.

Much of the comfort of the house.
hold depends upon keeping the
house cool, writes Maria Parloa in
a practical artical on "Housekeep
ing in the Country in the July
Ladies' Home journal. In the
morning every window and blind
should be opened, giving the sun,
light and air access. After the
house has been thoroughly aired and
put in order the blinds should be
closed and the shades partially
drawn. If the windows are closed
in the hottest part of the day the
house will be cooler. AS soon as
the sun begans to go down reopen
the blinds and windows.
On an intensely hot day the room
of a sick person can be made more
endurable by having sheets OF
cheese-clote wrung out of cold
water and hung across the oenp
windows.

Cold is perhaps the most to be

1t is not necessary to keep the

proper ventilation should be kept

too much dressing. Have ready a

Pigs Feet and Terrapin.

A observing business man, who has
had occasion to patronize at one time or
another nearly every restaurant in the
purely commercial section of the city,
has discovered an odd relationship be-
tween two articles of diet which rarely
if ever occur singly upon bill of fare.
"You can be reasonably sure" he said
the other day, that when you see liver
and bacon set down among the edibles
you will not have to look far to discover
that you can also obtain chicken liver
omelet' Perhaps this will explain" he
added cynically, "why it is that so often
the liver of the first dish appears in small
triangular pieces in the omelets."
The gentleman might have transferred
his observances also to certain up town
restaurants which cater to the "swell"
members Of society. It's dollars to dough-
nuts that in at least one-half of those
which boast of their fine cooking, when
ever terrapin la Maryland or Philadel-
phia or any other style is to be had, it
will require but little urging to obtain
fried pigs feet.
Pigs feet and diamond back terrapin
do not closely resemble one another in
their natural state, but what a difference
when they are stewed, either separately
or together, with Madeira wine and vari-
Gus concomitants! An epicure only can
detect the subterfuge by the slightly
larger bones of the pigs trotters.-New
York Herald.

Historical Names Of Kings.

Some of the early kings of France
ruled over Germany at one time when
there was no division, but when there
was separate German nation the rulers
gained many curious titles. Fat" was
one and Blind" another. Also the
Child" the Fowler" Then BLOOD, 4"
Red" "Black, Superb" and "Sharp,"
while one king is particularly described
as the "Holy and Lame"
The rulers of the provinces that now
make up Spain had a number of kings
called Great and Catholic. Then they
also had the Monk and Gouty and in
cluded others who were infrm-Bad,
Noble, Strong, Valiant, Gracious, Sick
ly, Impotent, Beneficent and Ceremoni-
GUS. Ferdinand III of Leon and CASTLE
was the Saint and Holy.
Hungary has her rulers described as
Saint, German, Thunder, Venetian, Great
and King Mary who was probably the
only woman who held like title. Over
Portugal reigned the Fat, Idle, African
and Great and Perfect.
The people of Russia have generally
had hard time of it. We realize this
today, and the names given to their
kings show the reason therefor. None
was good, wise or just, though there
was Peter the Great, who did all he
could to help his country. But how
could a nation progress with rulers who
gained the title of Terrible. Impostor,
Proud, Lightfoot, Grim, Fierce and Lion?

How to Select Good Help.

One of the most astute business men
in New York city, who has through his
own efforts built up an enormous estab-
lishment, and who gives employment to
hundreds of men, some of them at very
large salaries, told me he had very little
difficulty in finding the right kind of
men for any department of his work. 1
was surprised to learn this and asked
him what was the secret of his success.
He said:
Il have men to whom pay as much
as $4,000 year. have sometimes been
disappointed in my selection of helpers,
but as rule never fail to get the kind

lect for experienced help only the men
who have succeeded in what they have
undertaken.

prepossessing man maybe, if l learn
from his story that he has been promoted
step by step; that he has always re-
manned in a place until he was advanced,
and that every change he made was a
change for the better, l engage him at

A GRACEFUL ROSE FEAST,

A rose queen, who may we'll be
the young girl in whose honor the
fete is given, should be chosen,
writes Mrs. A. G.. Lewis in a dis
cription of "a Novel Feast of Ro-
ses" in the July Ladies Home
Journal. Her dress should be
handsomely draped after the fash
ion of royal robes, then ornamented
with roses, her gown being wholly
of yellow roses. A rustic chair OF
state, wreathed with roses, and a
ottoman of solid rose blossoms are
prepared where the queen may sit
and receive the homage and honor
of her guests. Other royal atten-
dants may be added to her suite, il
desired. Tables covered with rose
colored tarlatan over white may be
prettily arranged among the trees.
A pyramidal centrepiece of solid
roses, a rose at each plate and a
cluster loosely laid at each corner
of the table are sufficient in the way
of floral decorations. Creams, ices
and frostings may be colored by
adding a few drops of cochineal ex-
tract, which is both tasteless and
harmless Raspberry, strawberry
ard currant juices give the desired
rose color to iced drinks.
A rose race is arranged thus:
Describe upon the. sward with a
lawn marker a circle-say twenty
PAGES i'll diameter. Mark also
eight equidistant radii. Place an
empty basket above the point
where the radii meet at the center,
and describe about this a circle
with not over four feet in diameter.
Upon this the eight contestants
stand, each upon the point where
the radius line intersects it. One
dozen roses are scattered at equidis-
tant points along each of the radi-
us lines. AT given signal the
racers start. Each must pick up
separately the twelve roses in his
line and carry the same, one by
one, back to the basket, making
thus twenty-four journeys to and
from the basket. The prize is won
by the racer who gets all the roses
on his line into the basket first.

HER PICTURE.
So long-a hundred years ago!
The orchard stood all white.

So Tonga hundred years ago!
The orchard stood all white,
Because her face has caught the glow
OF summer, just in sight,
And she looked beyond its boughs,

For her eyes hold Heavens light.
"My Cicely," the letters old
Seem written through tear;
How tenderly the story's told
OF him who put them here!
The passing of her hairs young gold
Took light from all the year.
"My Cicely, "-'twere easily said
To such a one as she;
Methinks the leaves they whispered,
The blossoms bent to see,
When on Gods world her smile it shed
As she doth smile at me!
"My Cicely," somewhere to day
The grass blows at your feet;
Yet these old letters plainly say
How one spring was complete,
Because that time you passed this way
Earth found thing so sweet.

why People ni.liks a Book Agent.

What is there about book agent or
peddler of any kind that is so distaste-
full to the ordinary citizen of today"
said Martin Cole. 1.-The efforts of these
people to make living is conscientious,
and am positive there is no work on
the face of the earth that is half SO
wearisome or soul trying as this one
thing of canvassing books. There is no
satisfaction in it and not even a good
living. Every one turns with disgust
from the book agent Probably it is
because people cannot brook anything
outside of the regular lines of trade.
They prefer to have things in their pro-
per places-books in book store, candy
in candy store and the like throughout
the long list of earthly articles that
we use. Then they want the stores close
at hand, so that they can rush out and
secure what they want, paying spot cash
for it.
"These are what people term the le-
gitimate lines of trade, and they are.
Then when a peddler arrives, the mer-
chant or the ordinary citizen immediate
ly figures out that anything that must
be brought about to him to effect sale
must not be good. 1t is outside the le-
gitimate line, and if it were good it would
simply be placed upon the market
through the ordinary channels and left
for the public to conceived its merits. So,
then, figure out that this dissatisfaction
with book agents and the like resolves it.
