A Niece of Robert Burns.

Returning past the "thorn aboon
the well" we came by a pleasant
way to Bridgeside cottage, the
home of Miss Isabella Burns Begg,
niece of the bard, and his only sur
viving near relative, writes TheO-
dOre F. Wolfe in an interesting
sketch of the only near relative OF
the poet in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. The cottage is a
cOZy structure of stone, from whose
matched roof a dOrmer window,
brilliant with flowers, peeps out
through the foliage which emboW-
ers and half conceals the tiny home
let. The trimmest of little maids
admitted us at the roadside wicket,
and conducted us along a path,
bordered by flowers, to the cottage
door, where stood Miss Begg BEAM
ing a cordial welcome upon the
pilgrims from America. She is the
daughter and namesake of Burns
favorite and youngest sister, lsa-
bella, who married John Begg.
We found her to be a singularly
active and VivaciOus old lady,
CHEEKY and intelligent, and mani
testify pleased to have secured APP
preciative auditors for her remi-
niscencies of her gifted relative.
She is of slender habit, has bright
and winning face, and soft gray
hair, and when she was seated be-
meath the Burns portrait we could
see that her brilliant dark eyes are
like those on the canvas.

The Chatting Dish.

In buying a chatting dish do not
think that silver plated one is
necessary, writes Guy johnson in
a practical article setting forth the
uses to which "the chatting dish in
summer" may be put in the Au-
gust Ladies' Home Journal. One
made of block tin is just as good
for cooking purposes.
In using a chatting dish remem-
Der that the flame is intensely hot
and very close therefore be care
full lest what you are cooking be
oVerdOne or burned.
Always wash the chatting dish
as soon as possible after using. and
place it in the sun, if possible.
Also be sure, in extinguishing
the flame, that you completely
cover the lamp; for if you do not
you will lose a great deal of alco-
hol by evaporation.

Points About Needles.

The great sail needle, which has
to be pushed with a steel palm,
would puzzle most people; so, too,
the broom-maker's needle, which
must also be pushed with a steel
palm, writes l.. G. Vance in the
August Ladies' Home Journal.
The curious knitting-machine nee
die. with us latchet; the arrasene
and crewel needles, and the needle
for shirring machines; the
weaver's pin for picking up broken
threads, with an open eye in the
hook. The needle, as we see it to-
day, is the evolved product of CEN
turtles of invention. In its primi-
tive form it was made OF bone,
ivory or wood. The making OF
Spanish needles was introduced
into England during the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth. Point by point
the manufacture has improved.

Dressing at the Seashore.

Children must always be dressed
more warmly at the seashOre than
when in the city or country, for
should the wind change while at
the beach, where most of their
time is spent, it is quickly felt,
particularly if the child be deli
cate, writes DIR. w. NJ. Powell in
the August Ladies' Home Journal.
A sailor suit of serge of flannel,
light in weight, is the most sensi-
BILE garment child can wear. AL
so large hat of light straw should
be worn, which will shield the eyes
and protect the face from the sun.
The skin of some children is so
delicate that any exposure to the
sun will burn it badly. A sooth-
ing salVe, such as cold cream, must
be applied Immediately.
During a stay at the seashore it
is advisable to keep children in
the open air most Of the day, with
the exception of the midday hour,
when they should take their nap.
They, as a rule, sleep more by the
seashore than when at home, Ow-
ing to the soothing effect of the
salt air. Great care should be
taken in the case of young babies
to shield them from a strong
breeze, which will be almost sure
to bring on an attack of collie.
Should the wind be high a shell
tered corner of the hotel porch is
the best place for them, and quite
as beneficial. With older children,
of course, such precautions are UNI
necessary.
have frequently heard it as
serted that salt water does not
give cold, but this is great mis-
take. Children, however strong,
should not be allowed to either sit
or play on the damp sand, and
even though it may appear dry it
is much safer to have a rug or af-
CHAN for them to sit on.

SAMPSON CITY SETTINGS.
The Academy in a Flourishing Condi-
tion-A Bright Outlook,

Sampson City, Fla, May 21-The
Sampson City Academy is in a fourishiug
condition and Prof. T. II. Hartig and his
assistant, Miss Amanda Kelly, deserve
credit for the high standing it has been
promoted to, both in number of pupils
and discipline. The roll numbers fifty
odd with a great many of them boarders.
This speaks well for the town, as it GER
tainly puts life into any place to have n
tiOurishing school 1t has put new life
into the Sunday school, which is superin-
tended by Thomas Delegall, an employee
of II. 9. Cassels, Sons & Co.. naval stores
operators. So Sampson City is now
coming to the front, for with q
flourishing boarding school, a good
Sunday school, good live business men, a
large lake in sight which abounds in fish
of all kinds, which also adds to the
scenery, and with new railroad in sight
her prosperity is certain. The Starke
Sampson City and Lake Shore road is be-
/ ing rapidly pushed to completion by the
Amber Lumber Company of Jacksonville,
Fla, who will, after completing the line
here, extend it on across the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway at High
Springs to the Suwannee river, where
they have leased up a large quantity of
timber. The iron is placed in two miles
of this place and will be laid here in a
few days.
The crops in this section are very
good and the orange crop very heavy. The
strawberry growers did not meet with
much success, owing to the wet weather.

altogether to frivolous entertainment.
He has become so identified in the
popular mind with Hamlet that art I'M
consciously represents the royal Dane on
all pictorial occasions with Edwin Booth s
face, and his reading of the lines of that
play are accepted in the cottages, the
classrooms and the dramatic schools as
the highest stage reach of elocuti0n.
1t is remarkable that Mr.. Booth was
never didactic or doctrinaire; he never
that know Of, wrote an essay on acting
or delivered a lecture on elocution, and he
never took pupils. Altogether, l think
he had a modest idea of his own abilities.
Whatever those abilities may be, it is
certain that at this moment there is no

tism to the play house and at the same
time exact the praise from the habitues

Give Some Important Information About
the Present Condition of the People.
At no time in the history OF New York city
have there been so many deaths from pneu-
monia as now. The official figures show that
nearly twice as many deaths from this cause
are occurring than for the last i've years.
This is something terrible
DR.. John 4. Nagle registrar Of vital StatiS-
tics. says that this increase is due to the in
huence OF grip. He says that grip may be
called epidemic Just now, and that in the ma
JOrity of cases grip is vital. contributing
cause to pneumonia and all dangerous pull
mOnary troubles. AT this time Of the year
when we are changing over from winter to
spring there is always low order OF vitality;
reaction from the strains of the season, The
blood does not flow so full nor rapidly. the
strength is less. For this reason grip has "a
much better chance than at any other season.
This is "a time of year when people need to
be careful and too much Importance cannot
be placed upon keeping the blood warm and
In circulation. You must bring aboucA re-
action If you wish to avoid the pain and dan
gers of these troubles in time There is hut
one way by which a reaction can be brought
about and that is by the use of a pure stimu-
liant, preferably whislSey. But the great diff
Guilty is that there are few wbiskeyS which are
pure. The only really pure and reliable
whislSey known To the medical profession Of
the world is Dufy'S Pure Malt. 1t possesses
qualities known only to itself. 1t will bring
about reaction and prevent cold, pneumonia
or the grip where many so-called stimulants
would fail 1t has saved more lives and re
leved more suffering than anything of SINH
lar nature which was ever known before to
the world
