Summer Suggestions.

Do not make too many visits, anC
where you go be sure that your Wis
is convenient one. DO not enter
/ tain too generously; summer should
be il time of rest, and it is difficult
to rest with house full of guests
Before going for midday sai1
rub your face, neck and hands with
simple cream, and powder gently
with cornstarch. Wipe the powder
off, and on returning wash the COM
plexion well in warm water and
with castle soap. Camphor-ice and
buttermilk both give relief from
sunburn.
Place a large dish Of water in &
room where the heat is very oppres-
siye. Change once or twice and
the temperature will be perceptibly
lowered.
Sponge your babies with cold Wa
! ter at bedtime.
Give children water to drink during
the hot weather. They need this
to make up for the loss from pers-
piratiOn.
In washing summer frocks, if the
colors run put half cupful OF salt
in the last risings-water.
For insomnia in summertime
take cold bath at bedtime.
Press towels, folded as usual,
trough your clotheS-wringer and
save your laundress.
Have mercy OH your cook in your
arrangement Of meals for hot days.
Battle daily.
Have your house-gowns made
with open necks and elbow sleeves.
Save your steps.
Allow double the amount of time
in catching boats and trains that
you do III winter.
Eat your meals slowly.
Drink milk slowly.
TO wash summer silks remove all
grease or other spots with soap and
water before proceeding.
Make a solution of teaspoonful
of amonia and a little soap in a
pail of water, and in this dip the
silk again and again until the dirt
is removed.
Do not wiring out, but press be-
tween the hands. Rinse in water
from which the chill is gone, and
hang in a shady place until partly
dry, when lay between two cloths
and press with Il hot iron.-Anda

The Old Man Sings.

There's a wabble III the jingle and a stun
bile in the meter,
And the accent might be clearer and the
volume be completer,
And there might be much Improvement in
the stress and intonatiou,
And polish might be added to the crude
pronunciation;
But there's music like q harper played be-
fore the ancient kings,
When the old man plays the fiddle and
goes feeling for the strings;
There is laughter checked with tear drops
when the old man sings.
And We form a ring around him, and we
place him in the middle,
And he hugs up to his wjthered check the
poor old broken fiddle,
And n smile come, on his features as he
hears the strings vibration,
And he sings the songs of long ago with
fnthcring intonation;
And phantom from the distant past his
distant music brings,
And trooping from their dusty graves come
long-iorgottcn things,
When he tunes the ancient fiddle and the
old man sings.
We let the broken man play upon the
broken fiddle,
And we press around to hear him as he sits
there in the middle;
The sound of many wedding bells in all
the music surgcs-
Then we hear their clamor smothered by
the sound of funeral dirges.

musc rings
And every lte's u blind mans tune that:
