Warm Weather Hints.

I have generally found that the
heat or the cold, the wet weather OF
the dry, the windy or the cloudy
day, affected me very little if
went calmy on and made the best Of
it. Ones work should occupy ones
thoughts and hands so fully that
one has no time to be troubled
about surroundings of atmosphere.
The busy girl is happier than the
indolent girl, for the reason that
her mind is taken up with some
thing worth while.
A little caution about fans.
DON'T fan so vigorously that you
put yourself into a heat by the
exertion. Never fan the back OF
your friends neck if you are sitting
behind her. Fan with gentle,
steady motion, so that waves of all
strike your own face, but not SO
that you send icy shivers down
your neighbours spine.
On a very sultry day, nothing is
gained by drinking great deal OF
ice water. The more one drinks,
the more thirsty one grows. A
little water held in the mouth a
moment, and allowed to trickle
slowly down the throat, will relieve
thirst more effectually than a goblet
full hastily tossed eff.
The question comes up every
summer, how shall we best keep
our homes cool during the sultny
part of the day? Shall we close
them and shut out the heat, OF
simply darken them and allow the
air to come in? My way has been
to open every window, both at the
top and at the bottom, early in the
morning, flooding the house with
the sweet cool air. Then about ten
O'Clock, or earlier, close the
windows, except for few inches at
the bottom, and fasten shutters and
blinds so that they will not fly
open. Darker every room which
you are not using until the sun
goes down. But do not sit to read,
sew, or practice in the dark. Your
eyes need plenty of light. When
you go into the darkened rooms, do
so to rest, not to work.-Harper's
Round Table.

Useful Recipes.

WATERMELON CAKE.--Whito
part: Two cups of pulverized
sugar, two thirds of a cup of butter
two thirds of a cup of sweet milk
three cups of flour, whites of five
eggs, one teaspoonful of baking
powder.
Red part:-One cup of red sugar
one third of a cup of sweet milk,
two cups of flour, one teaspoonfu1
of baking powder, yolks of five eggs
half pound of raisins.
Put the red part in the center OF
the pan, and the white part on the
outside.
CHERRY SHORT CAKE.-Stone
the cherries and simmer with sniff
cient sugar until thoroughly cooked
and the syrup thick and rich
Bake rich, tlaky pastry; cut in
rounds of the size of a tumbler rim.
When cold spread these rounds
with cherries, putting three to
gether, with liberal allowance OF
the fruit, and heap little mound
whipped cream on the topmost.
RICE SoUFFLE WITH CHERRIES.
Put cupful of sweet cream and
one of milk together in double
boiler to heat. Beat the yelks of
four eggs; add a heaping tablespoon
full of butter, two of sugar; mix
with these three tablespoonful of
rice flour, using very little of the
milk to make a smooth paste. Stir
all into the hot milk, and keep stir
ring until it thickens up, and
remove from the fire. Beat the
whites of the eggs to a stiff froth,
and whip them in when partially
cooled. Prepare the cherries as
before, and when ready to serve,
slip the cherries into the middle of
the dish. Both should be very
cold. Delicious with or without
cream.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

The accessories make the costume
nowadays.
Chiffon ruf1les on silk waists are
very effective.
This year is noted for the revival
of the Panama hat.
1t is well to avoid wearing stiff.
ened skirts on rainy days.
A number of late shirt waists
have white strip down the front,
as well as the white collar and cuffs.
Ruffle sleeves are again much
worn. They are very becoming to
slender figures, and are very con-
venient to make over old gowns
with small sleeves.
The up-to-date girl has a light
brown canvas covered trunk bound
with leather and mounted in brass
The inside trays are almost as cosy
as bureau drawers.
The refined woman's handker,
chiefs of plain linen with a narrow
hemstitch, and has her initials
hand embroidered in the corner.
Be it as fine as gossamer for special
occasions, this rule never varies.
The alligator grip which was
erst considered so elegant, is
entirely out of date. The straight
grain oxford has entirely taken its
place. These can be obtained with
slots, which will take all the toilet
requisites of milady's bureau.
The very latest bow for the back
of the girdle is perfectly horizontal
with one end cut pointed, extend
ing about three inches above the
knot at the waist line; then one
loop and one or two ends as pre-
ferred, hang for about nine inches
below the waist line.
The particular woman, realizing
the difficulty with the narrow belts
now worn, keeping her skirt ant
waist well together, is wearing thu
bottom of her shirt waist outside
after the manner of the blouses
worn three or four seasons ago. i
looks as if this would be the ac
cepted fashion next year.

Chapped Lips.

OF the many minor ills to which tho
small child is subjected in cold weather
there is none much more disagreeable
than the chappcd lips which SO often
torment him. And when the CHAP
becomes q deep crack in the middle
of the lip it is even more trying. Then
cold cream or vaseline often faila to
produce any effect. and the split grows
broader until the lower lip looks ~ If
1t were cut in half. The one quick and
efficient remedy for this Is tiny phnl
of flexible collodion and camel's-hair
brush. The mother must hold the two
sides of the lip together with one hand,
while with the other she dips the brush
in the collodion and quickly paints over
the crack with the liquid. 1t dries al
most instantly. and in drying forms q
skin over the wound. Whenever this
skin breaks 1t must be renewed. The
small child who does not vince and to
whose eyes the tears do not come under
this treatment must be heroic indeed,
for the first application Of the collodion
xmarts keenly for just moment. But
In two or three days the treatment will
have entirely cured the offending mem
ber.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Hot Milk Hobby.

Hot milk is the newest panaeea
for all complexion ills. If the face
be wrinkled, sallow, freckled, Oh
otherwise afflicted, hot milk, say
the enthusiasts over this new
remedy, will produce cure. Con-
verts declare that the face, after
being washed with milk at night,
feels wonderfully refreshed, while
the skin soon becomes very white
and soft. Some even go so far as
to pour generous quantity ofmilk
into the water for the bath, and
claim that it is positively magical
in removing fatigue.

Personally Conducted Tours via Penn
syIvauia Railroad

That the public has come t.
recognize the fact that the best anc
most convenient method of pleasure
travel is to participate in the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's per
sonally conducted tours, is evid
enced by their increased popularity
with each succeeding year and thu
number of inquiries in regard tt
them.
Under this system the loves
rates are obtained, both for trans
portation and hotel accommodation
and none but the best hotels arr
used. An experienced touris
agent and chapcron accompany eacf
tour to look after the comfort of thu
passenger.
The following tours have beer
arranged for the season of 1885,
To the north Gncluding Watkins
Glen, Niagara Falls, Thousand
Islands, Montreal, Quebec, AT
Sable Chasm, Lakes Champlain and
George, Saratoga, and a daylight
ride down through the Highlands
of the Hudson), July 81 and
August IS. Rate, 800 for the
round trip from New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, and Washing
ton, covering all expenses of a two
weeks trip.
To Yellowstone Park, covering q
period of seventeen days, on a
special train of Pullman sleeping,
compartment, and observation cars
and dining car, August 81. Rate,
5000 from New York, Philadelphia,

The Bond Investigation.

The committee appointed to in
vestigate the bond transactions of
Cleveland and Carlisle has held
several sessions in Washington and
New York since the adjournment of
Congress. While some matters of
importance have been brought out
in the testimony, yet, the most i'm
portant points have not been
brought out, for two reasons: First,
the committee has not yet reached
some of the vital points of the tran
saction, and, second, so far, when
the committee has asked questions
touching vital points the witnesses
have refused point blank to answer;
thus, not only smothering the in
formation which was intended to be
brought to light by the investiga-
ton, but actually defying Congress
and the laws of the United States.
1t will be remembered that when
the investigation of the speculation
in sugar stock was in Congress that
a number of witnesses refused to
testify. The punishment for such
an offense is confinement in the
penitentiary. Yet up to this hour,
over two years having elapsed, not
a single one of those offenders have
been convicted or punished for the
grave otfenSe. If an ordinary citi-
zen were to refuse to testify in
court, where the law requires him
to do SO, he would promptly be put
under arrest and imprisoned there
fore. But these millionaires and
spectators have defied our laws
and our government, and are still
at large, and this has encouraged
the bond syndicate and bond spec
ulators to also refuse to answer.
Thus, each day, the people see
clearer and clearer that there is
something rotten in our judiciary
system.
There must be reform in the ju-
dietary, or else our courts will con-
tinue to be largely the protector of
rich criminals instead of the pro-
tector of the law, peace and order
and the punisher of all criminals.
1t is not only necessary for the
people to elect silver men to con-
gress, but they must elect men who
are not railroad attorneys and who
are not either directly or in lirectly
under the in1unce of banks or mo-
nopolics. of any kind.-Sound
Money.

Fresh lettuce eaten at night wi

Fresh lettuce eaten at night will
cure insomania.
The porch has greater attractions
than poker these nights.
Don't growl over the heat if you
don't have to cook the meals
If clothespins are boiled a few
minutes and quickly dried every
few weeks it will cleanse them and
make them more durable.
If a strip of webbing two inches
wide is sewed tightly on the under
side of rug, close to the edge, it
will prevent the edges from curling.
Before commencing to seed raisins
after the stems are removed cover
the fruit with very hot water and
let it stand few moments. Drain
the water off and the seeds may
then be removed quite easily.
In washing chamois skins use
tepid water in which a little
ammonia has been added. Rinse
them thoroughly, stretch and put
them in the shade to dry. When
partly dry stretch the skin again
and the skin will be soft and like
new when done.
During the hot weather the bread
box requires special attention to
prevent bread from molding. The
box should be scalded twice week
and aired in the sun for an hour
before fresh bread is put in it. A
tin box is much better to use fol-
holding bread than a stone crock.
An error that is commonly made
is that of mending kid gloves with
sewing silk, as the silk cuts the kid
and shows the mend more plainly,
while fine cotton thread gives q
much more satisfactory result. II
the gloves are torn, put a piece Of
silk corresponding shade under the
torn part, haste carefully so as not
| to reveal the stitches on the right
side, and then draw up the rent
with cotton thread.

You nave CO11ec from BfaZll, OOulH
America; sugar from the West
Indies, china from France or some
other country, linen from Ireland,
cutlery from England or your own
country, and so on. Carry this
thought out to it's full meaning and
then bear in mind that those who
control the money control the price
of this vast multitude of articles IN
exchange. The price of sugar and
other commodities is fixed every
day by the market in Liverpool,
England, and cable passes the
news to all parts Of the world. The
farmer says to the grain dealer,
"What is the price of wheat
to- day 2" and the answer is, 81 do
not know; have not heard from
Chicago" Chicago has not heard
from New York and New York has
not heard from Liverpool. So it is
with the small banker; he is not
permitted to carry on his business
just as he desires to do any more
than the merchant is permitted to
conduct his to his liking, so we go
back to the financial and CONNER
cial centre where prices are fixed.
Now then our people in this
country, our farmers and people
living in our cities, during the
period from 1880 to 1890, borrowed
money to the amount of over twelve
billion dollars. This amount is
equal to the estimated value of all
the farms in the United States in
one lump. To whom is that debt
owed? To whom do the railroad
companies owe their debts? To
whom do the corporations and
municipalities owe their debts ?
Nearly all are owed to the great
banking and exchange houses
of London and New York. What
a large amount of Indebtedness it is.
Now the gold standard policy means
that every bushel of wheat yon
raise, every bushel of corn, every
ton of hay, every bale of cotton,
every pound of beef and pork, every
ton of iron, every key Of nails and
all the products of our industries
must be measured or rather scaled
down in price by the insignificant
and every decreasing supply of the
yellow metal, and Rothschild,
Morgan and Clews and a handful OF
men own the gold, and not only the
coined gold but most of the gold
mines of the country. 1t is com
mon to hear from the gold advo
Gates the expression "Gold is Gods
money" If it is, why in the name
of common sense do they give it a
legal value and then increase that
legal value by excluding silver
from the minis?

Warm Weather Neckwear.

The warm days are bringing out
no end of lovely collars in muslin,
crepe, silk or chiffon, plain or elab-
orately decorated; worn over gowns
of soft, neutral tints, they are
especially effective and cool looking.
These fancy collarettes are a Won
derful aid where one must econo-
mize in the matter of gowns. The
addition of one of these smart collars,
vest, etc., changes the entire APP
pearance of the gown. Dainty ones
are made up of thin white mule,
beautifully tucked, and decorated
with delicate lace; the sailor collar
is the preferred shape, cut in many
odd, fanciful ways, or brought into
broad revers at the front. Grass
linen sailor collars are very much
in vogue in spite of their having
been worn all last season. They
are appropriately worn with outing
suits and may be as elaborate as
one may wish, with heavy
embroidery done in grass linen
colors.
