HINTS FOR KEEPING COOL.

1t is very much as one looks at it
whether one is to suffer or enjoy most
during the summer. Fretting and fidg-
citing and violent tanning add to ones
discomfort. To go right on with ones
work, and neither think nor care for
the heat, often enables one to forget
it, and if the mind be only held supe-
rior, the body does not SO much mind
being too warm or too cold. Some
foolish people actually fuss and fume
themselves into fevers, when summer
is reignipg in her bounty, ripening
fruits and grains, and giving us her
splendid skies and sunsets.
To keep the house cool in July, air
it thoroughly in the early morning,
then close the windows and screen
doors, and darken bedrooms and par
Iors. A dark closed room will be
comfortable at mid day. Select a
cool window or a corner of the veran
da, and carry your books and sewing
there, or establish yourself under
tree. Eat cold dishes and ripe fruit.
Fan moderately. Do not drink guam
titles of iced water. Do not let your
self be annoyed or vexed with any
one. Battle at least twice day, and
think pleasant thoughts.
A lawn party is charming for late
afternoon in summer. Invite your
friends to come from five to eight
o'clock. Spread rugs on the grass,
and bring out some small tables and
rocking chairs For refreshments
have lemon sherbet, sponge cake, ice
cream, snow pudding, iced tea or
coffee, thin sandwiches, or anything
else you like. Play lawn tennis or
any other game you like.

"But you are not blind!" said the

"But the man whose business I bought

HEALTH WONDERINGS.

Some people object to drinking ice
water during hot weather, but well
come as much whiskey as they can
enclose. Wonder when they will find
out which is the worse.
Some people walk through the hot
sun at the rate of mile in fifteen
minutes, and spend an hour in 'scool
ing off, after they get there. Won
der why they do not use part of that
time in walking slowly and eeping
cool.
Some people drink quantities of ice
water and sweetened beverages be-
cause they are thirsty. Wonder why
they don't squeeze half a lemon in a
glass of cold water, leave out the SUI
gar, and sip it slowly. It will quench
thirst every time and it is good for
the blood.
Some people let themselves or their
friends burn with fever, depending
solely on drugs to reduce their tenn
perature. Wonder why they don't
throw a tablespoonful of baking-soda
in a wash bowl of tepid water and
sponge freely with it-face, body and
limbs.
Some women buy thin, cool mate
rial for a dress and then proceed to
make it up over tightly fitted lin
ing of fine,. closely-woven silesia
Wonder why they don't choose the
thinnest, slaaziest cambria to be found
if lining is necessary at all land make
a garment loose, SO the air can circu-
late freely about the body.

At recent important public cere-
mony, of which the Duke and Duchess
of Teck were the central figures, it
was notable that at least three ladies
of the aristocracy-one of whom had
been maid of honor to the Queen
drank her Majesty's health in cold
water. Ten years ago this would not
have occurred; and the good humor
manifested by all concerned would
not have been SO apparent as it was
on this occasion. 1t is no exaggera
ton to say that the total abstinence
cause is gaining ground more rapidly
than any other branch of reform
work.

eve encamped near swamp"
says a gentleman describing meal
he had with some cart drivers in
South America, and supped on
sliced pumpkins, boiled with bits of
meat and seasoned with salt. The
meal was served in genuine pampa
fashion. One iron spoon and two
cows horns split in halves, were
passed around the group, the mem
bers Of which squatted upon their
launches and freely helped them
selves from the kettle. Even in this
most uncivilized form of satisfying
hunger there is peculiar etiquett e,
which the most lowly person in
varibly observes Each member of
the company in turn dips his spoon,
or horn. into the centre of the stew
and draws it in a direct line towards
him, never allowing it to deviate to
the right or left. By observing this
rule each person eats without inter-
ferlng with his neighbor. Being
ignorant of this custom I dipped my
horn into the mess at random and
fished about for some of the nice bits.
My companions regarded this horrid
breach of politeness with scowls of
impatience. They declared, with
some warmth, to the cook the
foreigners did not know how to eat
apologized as well as I could, and
endeavored thereafter to eat accord
ing to gaucho etiquette" -Ne,U York

Summit is only one of New JERSEYS
villages, but it is setting the country
an example that could probably be
followed by every com munity IN the
land. A village improvement society
has been organized and it is proposing
to do ell possible things to make Sum
nit a conspicuously desirable place of
residence. Receptacles for waste
paper and such other scraps as are
commonly thrown around the streets
will be placed at convenient corners
and many other of the little things
that have too often been neglected in
Summit and elsewhere will be care
fully attended to. The school children
are enlisted in the good work, they
having signed a pledge to labor to-
gether ssto make Summit a happier
place in which to live by trying to re-
move everything which would make
it less healthful and less beautiful"
Compared with any of the other large
cities, Washington is quite clean, but
that it is less clean than it might be is
frequently and painfully evident to
those who refuse to be careless as to
matter of SO much Importance. Leg
islative edicts are good enough to
some extent, but unless they are
heartily supported by popular senti-
ment they invariably fail to accom-
plish much The residents of Summit
seem to be assailing the problem of
municipal betterment in the right way.

copy Of the address of Lady Somerset
to be delivered before the nineteenth

June II. We have time and space
only for one paragraph from the ell

Gin 1910, when Wendell Phillips and
William Lloyd Garrison, tx ose flaming
heralds of emancipation, came from
Boston, Mass, as delegates to great
meeting in London, Mrs. Lucretia
Mott, of Philadelphia, that famous
Quaker lady than whom nobler type
has never been produced on either
side Of the water, came with them.
She, too, had been elected delegate
to the English meeting, but our sturdy
Britons refused her credentials, and,
because she was woman, she was re-
legated to the gallery as mere look
err on, and the two brilliant American
men, whose names are now immortal,
and whose work rendered the contin-
uence Of African slavery impossible
in the great republic, declined to sit
as delegates with men who had shown
such injustice, and went themselves
to the gallery with their sister, whose
name-disavowed in that circle of
reformers-has become a star of the
first magnitude in the galaxy of the
great reformers. That was fifty five
years ago, and to day we welcome
ship1oad of American women who are
among the most thoroughly equipped
and bestknown women reform work

The following is an extract from
Pres Harris annual address before
the Mass. State Pharmacists Associa-
ton
One thing every pharmacist who
has the best interests of his calling at
heart must bear in mind; that is that
the liquor part of their business is be-
ing, and must be, slowly crowded out.
ePublic sentiment has changed
greatly in the last few years, and in
stead of all being classed alike, the
line has been sharply drawn, and the
stores that sell the least amount of
liquor that they possibly can are
gaining the confidence and esteem of
the public, and consequently their
business is growing from year to year,
while the others are losing ground and
dropping lower and lower.

The Michigan Christian 4dUocate
points out condition Of things in a
Canadian distillery which is at least
suggestive. The spectacle of distil-
Ter going to law to prevent the issu-
ance of license to sell the product of
his distillery lie at once unique and
prophetic. The paper says: "With
curious Inconsistency the largest man
ufacturing firm of whiskey in this
hemisphere refuses to allow an en-
ploye to drink, and has been fighting
in the courts to prevent man from
having a license to sell whisky in the
town. In Walkerville, Ontario, near
Windsor, where one million barrels of
this liquor are constantly in stock,
there is no chance to buy, to beg, Or
to steal a drink. The motto of the
firm of Walkers is 'We make whisky
to sell and not to drink The result
is practically temperance town
where the chief industry is to prepare
the way for intemperance. The owner
of the distillery and builder of the
town discovered years ago that drink
ing was hurtful to his employees and
to the community, and put his iron
will to the task of preventing it, but
strangely enough he did not allow
himself to feel or to see that the alb
stinence which his men and the in
habitants of his town needed was
needed elsewhere, and he kept on
making what he would discharge his
own men for using In earlier days
he kept barrel of liquor open for all
his men to drink from freely as they
chose, but the blighting effects be-
came too apparent, and hence the
prohibition regime was inaugurated,
and has been enforced for years"

Col. Jonathan L. Belknap, . Relative Of
HOlmes...WiImette Wife, Gives His Theory
of the Disappearance of Mrs. ConnOr,
Which is Sustained by CorrOborative
Circumstance - He Escaped Holmes'
Clutches.
CHICAGO, July e7.-Col. Jonathan L.
Belknap, an uncle of the father of the
Wilmette wife of Holmes, who resided
for many years at Big Foot Prairie,
ILL.,, has made a startling statement to
the police regarding the death of Mrs
Julia L. Connor. According to his
statement Mrs. Connor was killed
by Holmes in the Englewood
building. four and half
years ago. He believes she was
asphyxiated in her room while she
slept. Her room was small dark one
adjoining the dark bath room. Mr..
Belknap's theory is that the murderer
entered the woman's room by the Sc
cret door from the bathroom, and
when he had killed her by turning on
the gas, carried her body to the bath
tub, cut it in pieces and fed the parts
to a furnace-lke fire in the stove.
When the process of cremation was
complete, Holmes carried the bones
and ashes to the cellar and buried
them in quicklime.
Col. Belknap, who served in the
Union army, was one of the men whom
Holmes tried to victimize. He became
acquainted with Holmes through his
nephew's relation to him. When
Holmes learned that Uncle" Bel
KNAPP had a comfortable fortune he
tried to swindle him out of it, and did
get loan of $1,000, which was
never repaid. After escaping from
Holmes clutches NJ. Belknap went to
reside at Weston's Mills. Cattaraugus

police have letters written by him to
friends here, which show that he and
his wife spent Christmas with Holmes
and Mrs. Conner; that he helped

It is claimed that the reply of the

The Brazilian minister OF foreign
