Laughter.

In his "Problems Of HEALTH" DR..
Greene says that there Is not the re-
motest corner or little inlet Of the min
ute blood vessels of the human body
that does not feel some wavelet from
the convulsions occasioned by good,
hearty laughter. The life-prlnciple of
the central man is shaken to the in
nermost depths, sending new tides of
life and strength to the surface, thus
materially tending to insure good
health to the persons who indulge
therein. The blood moves more
rapidly and conveys different inn
preston to the organs of the body,
as it visits them on the particular
mystic journey when the man is
laughing from what it does at other
times. For this reason every good
hearty laugh in which a person indul-
ges tends to lengthen his life, convey.
ing, as it does, new and distinct stimu.
lus to the vital forces.

Household Hints.

Lemon Juice and salt will remove
ordinary iron rust.
Don't shut the lids of pots, boilers
and saucepans when putting them
away. 1t retains the odors of cookery.
Sponging the lace and hands with
q weak extract of pennyroyal Will
keep away mosquitoes, and will allay
the pain from their bites.
Spots and dirt may be removed from
paintings and chromos by using a cup
of warm water, to which few drops
of ammonia have been added.
To remove tar, rub in grease uutil
the spot seems pretty well loosened,
and then wash in plenty of hot water
and soap.
Oven doors should not be slammed
nor any jarrlng noise made when cake
and bread are cooking. Heaviness Is
almost invariably the result OF Jarr-
ing.
Never put your stovepipes away
without rubbing them thoroughly
with linseed oil or something similar.
This will prevent an accumulation OF
rust.
Tea is much bette when brewed In
Dot that has been heated thoroughly
than in q cold one. A cup of boiling
water used to rinse the pot Is the best
method of heating it.
Once q month the wicks of lamps
should be removed, and the burners
unscrewed and boiled in little water
in which common soda has been dis
solved. This will remove the coating
of grease and dust which forms on the
brass.
Flour absorbs odors easily, and
should therefore not be kept where
onions, fish, cheese or other odorous
substances are. It should be kept In
a cool, dry, airy room, the tempera-
ture Of which Is not below zero or
above seventy degrees.

"a woman's place is at home" So

Chicago by maintaining an expensive estab-

No. 10 of Wild flowers of America is out.
and we have supply of them for our Gus
toners Several years ago the study sof
natural history was very popular in this
city and vicinity. Botany and kindred
subjects were studied as they should --be by
comparing the teachings of the text books
with the actual specimens. While this is true
now in some of the branches of study, there
is not the interest shown il general SUBJ
jects of natural history that there sho uld
be, with such fine collecting ground as
Portland, with it's harbor and suburbs of
such easy access. For various reasons the
study of natures wonders is neglected
one in this region. To revive this interest
the PRESS is offering wild Flowers of
America at nominal sum, believing
that an interest in this branch of nature
study will lead to an interest in others.
Herbert Spencer has wisely said that
the study of flowers opens the door for the
marriage of science and the love of the
beautiful. Many a young person will be-
gin by climbing the graceful outlines of the
trllllum, the bindweed, the scores of other
breathing gems here depicted-they will
end by tracing with delight the genealogi-
cal Tree winch unites all these to plants of
the WIDEST seeming diversity. The links

THE HoTTEsT-YET.
Old Prob Sends Portland the Omaha Hot
Wave.

The other day Omaha, Neb., expert
enced heat that surpassed anything
the inhabitants had ever known. The
mercury touched 112 degrees in the
shade, and from 1875 to 1856 degrees in the
sun. Old Prob said that wave would
work east and it did. 1t has given
Portland the hottest weather known
here. The hottest recorded weather
previously was July1Sth, 1876, 81 degrees
Yesterday the signal office thermometer
indicated 81 $40 degrees, or fraction
more than In 1876. Yesterday was the
equal of Saturday and was warmer at
corresponding hours in the morning and
at noon. Saturday at s a. m, the heat
was indicated by 70 degrees, and by SO
degrees at the same hour yesterday. At
midday Saturday it was SO degrees and
yesterday 81 degrees, at the same hour.
Yesterday the heat was tempered
somewha by a strong westerly breeze.
Saturday downathe bay, out of the lee of
the Islands, the air was cool land re-
freshing, but on land it was searching.
The island boats were crowded Saturday
and Sunday and SO were the electrics to
Westbrook and Deering. The ball game,
and Rigby races were fairly patronized.
In the afternoon yesterday it was cool
er than on Saturday, and at D. m. a
shower fell. followed by a beautiful
rainbow, after whichs the wind went in
to the southwest and the mercury began
to drop quite rapidly. AT p. m. it
touched 76 degrees and with the brisk
wind following the atmosphere was
very comfortable In the wards of the
Maine General Hospital the mercury
stood in the nineties.

PARTED A STROUD.
Lively Experience of Yachting Party on
Saturday.

A yachting party had an adventure on
Saturday that was quite exciting for the
time 1T lasted. They were in a sloop
standing out through Hussey's sound
toward the Two lights durina the after
noon when it was blowing it's hardest
and the wind was coming in vicious
puffs, while good sized sea was roll
ing in, making the boat pitch in live
ly manner. When several miles outside
shroud SSparted at the mast head
under heavy puff and the sudden re-
lease, combined with a quick pitch,
threwss the foot of the mast out of the
step. 1t sailed over the side laying at
an angle ofsabout As degrees, while the
lower lower end was raising havoc with
the yachts internal economy. Sail was
lowered and the situation was discussed.
There was no anchor line aboard, mo
sweeps, and a breez blowing that
would eventually land thu disabled boat
down by Half Way Rock.E However,
by working the sloop's head round the
big mainsail was partly raised, it's pres
sure tending to steady,the swaying mast
with the remaining taut shroud hauled
and course was laid for Long Island,
where repairs were made alongside the
wharf. 1t was lucky ending to the
accident, for as one of the yachtsmen
said:"I the shroud had parted when we
were standing in / DON'T know where
we would have brought up.o
