HOT WEATHER HINTS.

meusckcepcrr who Worry and Won
Themselves to Death in Summer.
There are many housckeepers whe
never think Of trying to tighten their
labors during the hot weather. They
do their work mechanically, realizing
that IL overtaxes them, but never stop.
ping to consider whether part Of it may
be left undone or not. The fact that
they have always done it in just such
way, that their maternal relatives
for many generations did 1t In about
the same way. and that their neighbors'
methods do not materially differ from
theirs they seem to accept as conclusive
proof that there is no other way for
them to do.
1t is fine to be model housekeeper,
but not at the expense of ones health.
If God had intended woman to be an
animated scrubbing machine don't you
suppose He would have made her so
that she would have been better
adapted to the purpose? He made
other creatures with backs that would
bend without aching. If the house was
intended to be of the first Importance,
why was Ewes first home garden?
Depend upon it we are of more import
ance than our housework. We have no
right to overwork when 1t is in our
power to avoid doing so, and tits in our
power oftener than we will allow our
selves to believe.
The duties, of a housekeeper are
especially trying during the hot
weather, and should be ightened as
much as possible. The majority of
housekeepers cannot get away even
for a weeks vacation, and are too
tired to go away for day or to. To
that must be attended to when the
housekeeper is most in need of rest,
yet there are few women who will see
that, because of these added duties or
the weariness caused by the oppressive
heat, they should not attempt to keep
their work up as they do at other sea-
sons of the year.
They say: go, 1 can't be cofnforta bic
unless all my work is done in the usual
| way"
That is nonsensical and somewhat
selfish. They imagine that they cam
not, and never stop to think whether
the rest of the family will be comfort
able when the housewife is ill, or II
they are comfortable when she is cross
| with overwork.
There ought to be a law preventing
housewives from ironing during dog
days. Such q law would necessitate q
little change in the fashions, and per
haps large supply of articles that
really need ironing would be thought
n necessity by some, but it wouldn't be
long before women would discover
that they were just as ha ppy and just
as clean in the day when nearly one
tenth of their working hours were
spent over the ironing table.
'But the baby!' exclaims a young
mother. 'His long, white dresses must
be starched and ironed."
One of the sweetest babies in the
world will wear dresses of cheeseclotf
this summer which will not be ironec
or boiled. If his mother cannot take {
vacation she will at least take MAJ
each day while the baby sleeps, and il
many ways will contrive to tighten hel
labor during the hot weather.-Phila

IN THE MATTER OF EATING.
Some of the Causes and Circumstances q
Longevity.

Some of the Causes and Circumstances of
Longevity.
1t may seem hard that the man who
in youth has known the pinch of pow
erty, who remembers how the cut of
mutton with Il supply of potatoes and
green's scarcely sufiiced for vigorous
appetite, should find that in the pros
perity of later life an eight-course din
ner of delicacies fails to tempt him and
that, nevertheless, his physician warns
him that the attack of gout from which
he is suffering means that he is eating
too much and that his diet must be
lowered Is life then never to give sat
isfaction? Must youth know hunger
and old age safety =? Must the poor
muscle-worker never have enough food
to give energy to his frame and must
the rich idler have so much to eat that
disease is the consequence To find
the happy man, to live according to
sweet reasonableness and knowledge
is the aim of the teaching of science,
and if to these are added the princi-
ples of Christian communism the wealth
of later life will not lead to self-indul-
gence but to the mitigation of the suf
ferings of those who want the means Of
life. One of many splendid examples is
that of gentleman now in possession
Of large income who in his youth
lived on a salary of ten shillings week
lie early made up his mind that to eat
little and drink less would be his rule
in life. To this resolution he has ad-
hered. though fortune has come te
him. Nearly an octogenarian he is still
man of untiring vigor of body ant
mind. Simple in life he dispenses hi
great fortune as custodian for hi
Master, while living amid the refine
ment and cultured surroundings of al
English gentleman. Sir George Humph
rcy has investigated the life histories
of centenarians in England with th'
view of ascertaining the causes ant
circumstances of longevity. As ON
reads of the habits and life of thes
men and women who attained to tn
age of one hundred years and more on
is struck by the fact that they wer
almost invariably lean people, of spar
habit, and of great moderation in eat
> ing and drinking. OF thirty-seven thre
took no animal food, four took yer
little, twenty little, ten moderat
amount, and only one acknowledge
taking much meat. With regard to a.
cohol the returns are much the same
: and abstemiousness is found to be tn
rule of life of these centenarians.-

several moments Charley wondered
what he would have to do next. He
knew that he was safe from the bear,
az she could not climb the tree, and
that when daylight came he would
possibly have chance to escape by
running. But. his partner was in as
great danger as ever if the old bear
took notion to attack him. But
Charley made up his mind that if she
did this he would get down and go for
his rife and renew the fight.
But the bear had no intention OF
leaving the man that had wounded
her, and commenced clawing the tree
as if she wanted to tear it to pieces.
She ran around the tree in a frenzy,
and then, putting her fore legs about
it, commenced to shake 1t as hard as
she could.
The tree was dead and rotten, and
Charley could feel it give. Little by

to shake from top to bottom. 1t did
not seem possible that one would be

Sugar prepared in this way may be

Military CyIinS,

Recently q few soldiers from Fort
Sheridan, in command of Lieutenant
Hunt, the detachment having
had very little experience in riding,
went to Pullman, just for curiosity to
see how soon they could make the
march from Pullman to Chicago, q
distance Of fifteen miles. They star
ted in the morning with their full
equipment, the same as men fitted
for a campaign, in regular marching
order. They made the distance, as L
sm informed by the officer in one hour
and twenty-five minutes marching
time. They were instructed to start
early in the morning ard arrive be-
tween nine and ten. In order not to
be delayed they were direc cd to
start early, and L Instructed the
officer that If he found that he was
comiHg in ahead of time he could
stop and rest at any place he wished.
He rested quite long time, and
covered the distance, as L say,
in the marching time of one
hour and twenty-five minutes. The
ordinary time of marching over
the same distance, equipped as they
were with their rifles and full equip
ment, would have been at least five
hours. 1 asked the officer how the
detachment stood the march, and
he saidthey were very little fatigued,
and would have turned around and
gone back over the ground again
with pleasure. Gen. Miles.
