Color Protection From Intense Heat.

With reference to the protective effect
of certain colors against the suns rays,
years ago On my way to India the second
time, having already been invalided
home once from the effects of the sun,
it occurred to me to try the photogra-
piers plan. I reasoned to myself that
since no one ever got sunstroke or sun
fever from exposure to a dark source of
heat II ever to one which, though lumi-
nous, possessed no great degree of chem
ical energy-the furnaces in the arsenal,
for example-it could not be the heat
rays. therefore, which injured one. but
must be the chemical ones only.
If therefore one treats ones own body
as the photographer treats his plates
and envelops ones self in yellow or
dark red, ne ought to be practically &C.
cure. and since the photographer lined
the inside of his tents and belongings
with yellow it was obviously i1nlnaterial
whether IN wore yellow inside or out
| had my hats and coats lined with yell
low, and with most satisfactory results.
for during FIVE years and even extreme
exposure never once did the yellow lin
ing fail me. but. every time that either
through carelessness or overconfidence
I forgot the precaution a very short ex-
posture sufficed to send me down with
the usual sun fever. Many friends tried
the plan and all with the same satisfac-
tory results. Cor. Lahore (india) Civil

Curiosities Of Clycerin.

One Of the great advantages Of glycer.
in in it's chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evaporates
under any ordinary temperature. No
p]erceptibie loss by evaporation has been
detected at a temperature less than 600
degrees F., but if heated intensely
it decomposes with y smell that few
persons find themselves able to endure.
1t burns with a pale flame, similar to
that from alcohol, if heated to about
500 degrees and then ignited. Its non-
evaporative qualities make the COM
pound of much use as a vehicle for hold
ing pigments and colors, as in stamping
and typewriter ribbons. carbon papers
and the like.
If the pure ~glycerine be exposed for a
long time to a freezing temperature, it
crystallizes with the appearance of sugar
candy. but these crystals being once
melted it is almost m impossibility to
get them again into the CONCEALED state.
If a little water be added to the glycer-
in. no capitalization will take place,
though under a sufficient degree of cold
the water will separate and form crys-
tails, amid which the glycerin will re-
main in its natural state of fiuidity. II
suddenly subjected to intense cold. pure
glycerin will form a gummy mass
which cannot be entirely hardened or
crystallized. Altogether it is quite a
peculiar substance.-Good Housekeep-
ing.

FEMALE, WoMAA LADY.
The Distinction retueen Several Wore:
and How They May BE Used.

Ths Distinction I,etu cen Several Words
and How They May BE Used.
An interesting discussion is going on In
the columns of some newspapers owe
the use OF the words lady" and won
an There is no real difference as to
the occasions upon which each word is
to be used, but there is a frank acknowl.
edglnent upon the part of some that they

their good sense tells them that they
should. for fear that it might give Of
tense to the person to whom it was d.
rected las rot sufficiently polite"
There arc certainly no words SO abused
as woman" .'lady" and female"
Among certain people the use of the Sec
ond of these terms is like the wearing Of
fine clothes or jewelry. Originally be-
longing to a superior class they insist on
appropriating it to themselves as proof
that they are the equals Of any other So
cial body. Now, while I'll that may be
true enough and while class distinctions
have no place in this country this use of
the wordx has led to some strange and
amusing Commissions. The humorist who
depicted the servant as addressing her
mistress. Mann, the laundry lady is
~a-wanting to speak to the oma Of the
house," did not have to depend upon his
imagination for his facts.
AS absurd things as that may be heard
in any one of the large dry goods stores
in town any day. and almost any news
paper will yield a rich specimen or two.
Bishop Warren, referring to this same
point. says that be glanced at the wall

many ushers appear to think to be the

to one-half of the animal creation, and to
apply it to woman as the s1 bstantive of

plicable to every well bred and educated
oman but it is something that is re.

1t was sfl Right.

Probably no p~leasanter social affair ev-
er took place in Bottineau thar the Odd
Fellows picnic, On Tuesday last. All who
had received invitations and could by any
means to leave their work were there. The
best Of arrangements had been made for
getting everything to the grove, and every
one not blessed with a rig Of his W was
taken in charge and transported thit'her.
The weather was all that could be desired,
the program was just long enough and the
refreshments plentiful and surprising
good. To anyone who has never seen
this beautiful spot, 'Glen Ada"-so named
in honor of Judge Dana's charmingdaugh-
ter, now Mrs. w. H. McIntosh-it was a
rare treat. Riding over the naked prairie
one suddenly finds himself on a steep
bluff overlooking a very sea of waving tree
tops which hide the charms Of the glen.
Descending by a we'll beaten path we find
ourselves in a grove of fine trees, in and
out among which flows the silsery waters
Of Oak Creek. Small wonder that in this
retreat. far from the madding crowd, y
the thoughts of the picnicers never for a
moment strayed. and "all went merry as
a marriage bell" Busy hands soon spread
the feast, and shortly, the long table was
lined with merry feasters. Rising at the
call Of John A. Scott-whoa as Noble Grand
of the Lodge was master of ceremonies-the
opening ode was sung. an invocation sent
up by Pastor Halbert and all fell to with
a will. Knives, forks, spoons and tongues
all clattered and a merrier scene would
be hard to imagine. After all were salts
fed, a quartette of singers-Misses Rachel
and Colina Mcintosh and Messrs. Archie
Macarthur and DR.. Greig-sang as only
they can. Iohn A. Scott read an article
on "Odd Fellowship from a woman's
standpoint''.-read 1t we'll and knowingly
and was applauded to the echo. After this
was more music, a speech-so-called-by
We editor, music again, and then a stirring,
ringing, inspiring and instructive talk on
Fraternity" by Rev. w. H. Wood. His
u~tterances were timely and we'll received
by an audience which would gladly have
listened longer. Shortly after, the gath
ering dispersed, but not before a cordial
vote of thanks to Judge and Mrs. Dana
for their courtesy and hospitality-for
which they are justly noted. And so we
,went our several ways-"till we meet
again"

For q Summers Day.

No more beautiful spot can be found in

happiness. Here is q lake whose crystal wa
tiers are of almost absolute purity set amid
emerald hills and dotted over with islands.
The msre sight of its %g'lstening surface-the
murmur of its waters as they idly lap the
shores-are enough to bring one a sense of
rest and peace. To glide over it's calm bos-
ON in one Of the many boats to watch the
flight of wild fowl and listen to the hum of
forest life along the shore; to pull the CLEAN

Old Time Curess

In medieval tiunesif a child did not learn
to walk with readiness the wise wizard
would direct it to creep through a black

pleasant and ef~ficacious for the tardy
fodder to creep among u few barbed

keeping with the keen spirit of this age

One Of the leading sources of income
to the old herbalist was the compound

California Names Ending In O.

no. Inyo, Mendocino. Mono. Sacramento,
San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego.
San francisco, San Luis Ohispo, Sar

served that only a portion of these are
named from masculine saints in the
Spanish calendar, Fresno, Inyo, Mono

have been put ON by the early Spanish

Sleeping Under Feathers.

Years ago we used to smile with con-
scious superiority at the idea of the
Dutch sleeping under a feather bed ill.,
stead of over it. The idea Of sleeping
upon a hard mattress and climbing un-
der a soft one seemed rather an ana
chronism and a singular ~perversion Of
common sense. but the introduction of
down or feather comfortables Is simply
the utilization of that knowledge Of
things which some Of the older countries
had long & known. Feathers are ex-
ceedingly warm, and a covering made of
them superinduces and retains the heat

Chicago, the ERIE, has at last effected
its entrance into Chicago and now oc-
cupies the proud position Of being the
