SUMMER HOUSEKEEPING.
How to Do the Cooking With Little Heat
and Annoyance.

How to Do the cooking with Little Heat
and Annoyance.
Housekeepers must not forget that
during the heated months thought and
care must be given to the cellar. Keep
the windows tightly closed during the
day. Open them in the evening or at
night. This will keep the cellar dry.
As the walls are cool, the hot air of
the day will condense upon them and
cause moisture. In this condition the
cellar is scarcely a place for keeping
food stuffs, as the dampness causes
mold. 1t is also time to give up using
large stoves or ranges and substituting
smaller ones which will do the same
amount of work, with greater comfort.
Cooking by gas is so extensively prac-
the economy and durability of
this method. Thousands of gas
stoves are in use, and when once
placed are in to stay, and with
care they are more economical than
coal. Persons in the country manu-
featuring their gas can use the
same stove they have used in the city.
Roasting and baking may be done at
the same time. thus saving heat and
gas. In far country places where it is
impossible to use gas the next best
thing is an oil stove. The points of
danger in these stoves have been great
~ removed. Accidents occur only with
careless people. l am referring now
strictly to oil, not gasoline stoves.
The latter are always more or less
dangerous, as this material is highly
inflammable and explosive. The four
burner stove, containing an oven four
teen by sixteen. is quite large enough
to do the cooking for a family of
twelve. Sectional saucepans should be
used for vegetable cooking, ora patent
cooker will give you two or three
vegetables over a single burner.
Waffles and cakes can be baked just as
we'll as over a coal stove.-Household

Summer PrIticoats.

Altogether the most satisfactory
petticoats to wear under light summer
gowns are those made of white MAIN
sock, a good quality of which may be
purchased for twenty-five cents the
yard. Three breadths should be used,
and there should be two or three four
inch ruffles around tine bottom. Over
these a wide full flounce is placed, and
in this way a faring effect is pro-
duced. A narrow edging of lace on
the ruf1es and a wider trimming of the
same lace on the Aounce add beauty
to the petticOat, and if point de Paris
is used or Valenciennes (whatis known
as Platte Vail, the cost is only slightly
enhanced. The price of such a gar
ment, ready made. is ten dollars, and
even at that price is not always to be
found, while it may be made at home
for three dollars or less. India linen
or Lonsdale, at twelve cents per yard,
are good fabrics to use, but nainsook,
although SO light and fine, is strong
and wears well. If one or two cords
are run in the hens of the rufies they
will fare better and are quite as easily

DANGER OF MENTAL STRAIN.
Serious Disorders Resulting From Tos
Much Brain Work.

Serious Disorders Resulting From Tos
Much Brain Work.
Intellectual work does not injure
health or shorten life, but mental
overwork. when associated with emo
tional strain, is often a cause of nerv-
Gus breakdown and disease.
Health and life are sometimes lost
through forgetfuiness of the fact that
mental strain is dangerous to those In
or past middle life who attempt brain
work to which they have not been ac-
custOmed.
If not subjected to excessive mental
or physical strain, public and profess
sional men, although afflicted with or
ganic diseases, may live in comfort and
do a moderate amount of work for
many years.
Among physicians, lawyers and jour
nalists the performance of brain work
under pressure for time and bad hygi-
enic conditions, is a common cause of
i'll health.
Comparatively few clergymen u C
cumb completely to mental overwork,
although many of them suffer from a
mild, annoying form of nervous ex.
haustion.
The danger to the scientific worker
usually arises from too intense and
prolonged activity of the mind in one
direction. 1t springs largely from the
fascination it has for its votaries. Thu

fouted him and Scorned him for up
wards of two years, and in despair
Jack set himself at undoing his bonds.
1t was 4 slow and painful process, and
the bonds had a habit of slipping again
into hard knots when he caught a
glimpse Of CisSie. and Jack had almost
made up his mind to cmigrate to some
,Outlandish country, for he feared he
would never be his w man again
unless q very broad and extensive
ocean rolled between them. No matter
how stern his resolutions were, they
faded away to nothingness when he
met Cissie in a new, pretty and stylish
dress, for every costume she adopted
seemed to be even more fetching than
the last. Clothes have so much to do
with the appearance OF 4 pretty girl.
The trouble with Jack was hat he a
toe much respect for women in general,
and they all knew that, and cOnse-
qucntIy despised him, Cissie being the
leader in heaping contumely on poor
Hinkston, who. after all, was a very
nice sort of fellow, who did not realize
that girls as n rule are somewhat silly
and more apt to take up with a shall
low-brained, conceited r~apscalliOn than
with n fellow of genuine worth like
Jack Hinkston.
Jack had heard that CiSsie had taken
to the bicycle, but he had never seen
the young lady on a machine. For the
past week or two Jack had avoided
Cissie. and his resolutions of abandon
ment had so strengthened themselves
that he felt he would be a free man if
he could merely keep away from her;
but on the other hand he realized that
the next time he saw her she would
have on a new dress and would look
more like an angel than ever, and he
trembled for the result.
In the matter of the new dress Jack
was perfectly right, and he saw the
girl under circumstances that nearly
resulted in his downfall, but not the
kind of downfall he had looked for.
He had taken out his bicycle, and had
gone for a long wheel into the peace
full country, where he would have no
comrades but the trees and the green
fields, and the hedges that bordered
the lanes. As ne cycled along a mar
row country thoroughfare, wheeling
at a leisurely pace, for rapid cycling
doesn't lend itself to somber medita-
ton, he heard behind him the sharp
ring of a bicycle bell. Something in
its imperative clang, or else the fact
that he was on Il lonely road,
caused him to look over his shoulder,
and he nearly tumbled off his machine
in amazement and surprise. There
