Meyersdale wheelmen are endeavoring
to get up relay race between that place

bicycle riders from the former town

tween Meyersdale and Berlin, and the
same number of riders placed between
Berlin and Somerset. \ message ad-
dressed 10 some party in Somerset viii be
given to the courier stationed at Meyers
dale. lie will carry ii two miles and
hand il over To the second messenger.
who viii turn il over to the third,
and 80 on until il is delivered
in Somerset As soon "a an answer can
be prepared the return trip will be begun.
Every effort will be made to cover the
round trip 40 miles in the least possible
time. Every courier viii be accompanied
by a '-paeer.'' who viii carry the message
in case of an accident to the wheelman
having il in charge. Meyersdale bicycle
riders are anxious 10 have the trial come

The Art Of Keeping Cool.

This Is the witching season fthe year
when a housekeeper is willing 70 barter
almost any Possession for ooolness. Yet
she frequently has meals 10 prepare.
washing and ironing to superintend. pre-
serving to attend To and apparently end
less duties to call her TO the kitchen con-
tinually. She is particularly blessed wa1
has that room known ~ summer kitch-
en-, separated from the ordinary living
rooms by covered passageway. Bat
outside of Dixie land those kitchens are
few. The best substitute for them. saws
the New York Heraif, is big gas stove.
All meals, even the most elaborate.
may be prepared on gas stove. Wash
day need have no more thIn lis clstoma-
~ terrors, for any amount of water may
he heated ON gas stove. Ironing days
viii also pass As easily as ironing day ever
can pass. Jellies and pickles may b.
made even more easily than on the usual
range, for the heat may be more accarate-
ly measured. Just as soon as the fire
requiring work Of the day is done the gas
may be turned of and the room cooled
with all possible speed
Sensible attire will also tend to miti-
gate the housekeeper's summer hard
ships. Charming as it is to be always
trig and crisp in freshly ll1ndrieI ginz-
hams, it is also heating. Starehed clothes
are rs mach warmer than nnstarched
ones as woOlens are than lawns The
best plan for the woman to adopt who is
compelled TO he good deal in the kitch-
en- is to reduce her underelothing 10 the
minimum weight and number and to
wear sOft shirt waists and skirts. 4
bodice with ruflie about the neck is
quite as pretty, except with tailor-made
clothes, as stiff-cOIlare1 one and it is
infinitely more endurable i'm the kitchen.
The little blue and white checked ging-
hams are pretty if made in this way and
have the additional charm OF not soiling-
ing easily.
