KEEPING COOL.
What to Do and What Not to Do for Sum-
mer Comfort.


In the hot days, when all the ques-
tons of life seem merged into the ono
problem of how to keep cool, one is
constantly making short mental ex-
plorations into last summers memories
in the hope of drawing forth some
recipe for securing GOODNESS and COM
fort. 1t is vain task generally, but
there is one thing you should always
keep in mind. Whenever you are re-
duced to particularly frantic effort to
get cool, don't do anything to start
YOU blood into more rapid circulation.
For instance, don't plunge into cold
water. For one brief moment you may
believe yourself.refreshed and cooled,
but soon your blood will be tingling
and your skin viii grow warm and red
But this isn't saying that you should
go to the other extreme and use boil
ing hot water, either. If you use warm
water-warm water, mind you-you
will find it takes off the sticky perspirs-
ton and accompanying particles of
dust and does not accelerate the cir
cuiation of Your blood.
Most women use powder nowadays,
bat 1t ism every woman who thinks to
make use of it after her own bath, as
she 1does after her children's. Fine
powder is always cooling, and used
beautifully after bathing it often pre-
vents skins that chafe from becoming
sore. By the way, if you do happen to
be afflicted with easily chating skin

when it can be easily mashed TO fine
powder and is as soft and cooling as
can be. Try TO remember to powder

IN the sun. It's pretty sure 10 reduce

To return to the subject Of keeping

MANS WORK ABOUT THE HOUSE
The Kentucky Woman Who Never Liked
the Idea OF Doing It.


Away up on the north fork of the
Kentucky river the Widow Wilson
kept hallway house, famous in that
section for its excellent fare, says a
writer in the Detroit Free Press, and
when l happened TO be in that neigh
bOrhood on one occasion I made an eff
fort to get there to stay over Sunday.
l found it an excellent place and Sun
day afternoon as [ sat in the shade of
the porch the widow found me.
Don't you get very lonesome here
by yourself?" I asked, after'a few scat
tering remarks.
YES, sometimes" she answered;
but takin' it up one side an down

She laughed softly at the thought

NO, it wuzn't," she promptly re-
piled.
No? Why?" 1 asked in surprise.

There are countless rem edies sug-

means of which hope of speedy recov-
cry is held out, and to the intending
traveller by sea it is safe to say that
there are given any number of sup

ness. The Philadelphia Times does
not believe that there is any known
herb, drug or line of action that VIII
prevent seasickness if once you start
in on that disagreeable path. but there
are many things that help to ward off
an attack which will indeed prove of
value to those who dread so much the
crossing Of the great Atlantic or Pa
cific ferries. 1t is advisable before
one starts on such voyage to be par
ticularlv careful as TO his diet On
the first day out keep as much upon

A Queer African Race.

The Mandingoes, who inhabit a
tract of country in Africa, are strict
Mohammedans in religion, but, curious
~ enough, they still retain many of
the superstitiors Of the negro race
from which they sprung. Consequent
lE their marriage ceremony is a
mixture of the two, and although it is
performed by marabout, or holy man
in the mosque. it contains one very
ridiculous element. Next in impor-
lance to the marabout is the bride
groom sister, and when The marriage
ceremony reaches the point where the
visible bond, usually typifed in civil
ization by the ring, appears, this sister
steps forward and in place Of the ring
presents the lady with a pair Of
trousers, which are Immediately
donned. The ceremony is concluded
by very mournful song sung by the
companions of the bride, who then
conduct her again to the home OF her
parents, as owing to the extreme prob
ability of one or the other retracting
at any moment by reason of an I'M
favorable omen no house IS built until
the ceremony is completed. Polygamy
is the rule, but each wife has her own
house to keep her from quarreling
with the other wives. They are the
most tyrannical wives in Africa, and,
hating each other, band together
against their husband and rule him
