The whole family was on the street

tually land them at summer resort

much reading and consultation.

With each article mentioned there
was groan from some member Of the
family, and there was a unanimous
petition put in to the head of the
household that they return and wait
for the next boat. But he was OBJ
durate and seemed delighted at this
opportunity to teach his flock a lesson
in thoughtfulness.

A close observer could have seen
the father turn pallid gray. He took
or an injured air, rang the bell and
said in a strained voice that ne would

other trial. bat never again would he
defer a trip because of their negli-

cause of its scarcity, pays the handsome
price Of $3.50 pound for it.

from certain sections where the herb
grows wild. Repeated attempts TO culti-

friends for years, but none of the neigh
borhocd gossips had ever been able
to determine what the future of the
pair was to be.
After a chat Mrs. Wrinkle stepped
into an adjoining room to hunt up
sample OF new shirt waist, and Mr..
W1nkle, IN the temporary absence of
t1e Venus who presides over the des-
tines CT the Wrinkle kitchen, wander
ed out TO the refrigerator to see what
he could FIND in the way Of a cold drink.
They were hardly out of the room be-
fore their ears were startled by "Skip's"
sharp voice raised in jealous protest.
There could be no mistake. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Wrinkle returned the
young people occupied seats widely
separated, ana the face of each was
calm and unrufded. But Mrs. Wrinkle
knew what had happened.

at the young man, why haven't you

Skip" was really responsible, al.
though he didn't quite realize the far
reaching effect CT his innocent action.
Skip it should be explained, is the
pampered British pet of the Wrinkle
children and is one of the haughtiest
of Oak Parks canine aristocracy
Were he biped he would probably be
staggering about the tennis courts at
Oak Park in duck. trousers, with a
monocle screwed into his right eye
and chattering with the suburban
beauties with a most delightful Eng
fish drawl.
AS becomes fox terrier of exalted
lineage, he is particularly clever and
intelligent, but one of his marked
characteristics is a wild and consum-
ing jealousy. If little Miss Wrinkle be-
slows upon her beloved dolly Mignon
the caress with which every doll moth
er is so lavish, or if Paterfamilias
Wrinkle cuddles the wee Wrinkles in
his arms before bedtime, or should
Mrs. Wrinkle greet her friends effusive-
ly, Skip accepts the act as a deliber-
ate slight and lifts up his voice in a
peculiar whining bark that is at once
protest and supplication.
One night last week there called at

interested. One of them is a young

NJ. Patti del'Pozzo is now carrying

He gives the credit of his machine

The name of the machine is "The
Sub-Marine Worker" and the inventor
claims that, while diver, can only de-
scend TO the depth OF 100 feet, and the
diving bell to 250 feet, his apparatus
will enable men to work at depth of
700 feet.
The worker consists of large hol-

three inches thick and the globe ten
feet across. After descent into the in

San Francisco Argonaut.
A student of Yale College, who belonged
to a chemistry class before the members

experiment with laughing gas knew a
little about the effects of the gas, and he
explained to his companions that since
under its influence no one was responsible
for his words he was going TO take the
opportunity to tell Professor Siiliman
what he thought of him. Unfortunately
Professor Silliman overheard the CONVEX
sation. When the professor remarked
that for the purposes of illustration he
should like to administer the gas 20 some
member of the class, the plotter of mis-
chief at once volunteered. The Leather bag
was connected with his mouth and he
soon appeared much excited. He began
to abuse the professor and say many
things which he would not have dared to
say except under cover of the peculiar
circumstances. Professor SilIiman allow
cd him to go on for some time and then
casually remarked that his young friend
had become prematurely irresponsible.

which passes through This very simple
invention is available for our American
cities, and the wonder is that no one has
attempted to introduce the Indian "tatti'
into our houses. The other invention is of a
similar kind. and is known as the Their
mantidote. It is a boX-like structure with
small 'tattis" placed on either side, and
the air is pumped in by a wheel. 1t is an
admirable invention, although not cousid-
cred very healthy. AS the proverb runs
In the mouth of the thermantidote is cool

In India, in places where the climate IS
not malarious. we sleep in the open air
not infrequently on the roof of the house.
II is difficult to say why this is not a more
common custom in New York. We pant in
the suffocating atmosphere of an ill-built
fiat when the roof is available, or should
be available, FOR sleeping purposes. An
Anglo Indian would think it impossible to
York flats during a hot season such as we
have just passed through. Judged from
the standpoint of India, the wonder is that
there have been so few prostrations from
the heat, and that such feeble efforts ars
put forth to alleviate the sufferings Of peo-
pie during an excessively hot season. Il
is very evident that some changes must he
made, both in our habits and dress and in
our dwellings, If the New Yorker is to drag
out even a reasonable existence.
In India, as in America, the sufferings OF
heat-oppressed humanity are allevated by
drink. There are no soda fountains in In
dia. But bottles of soda water and lemon
ade are kept in an ice box and the z. and
S., or the Peg" as it is called. is deemed
the elixir of life. But il is a peg in many
mans coffin, as Sir Charles Napier used
to say.
Those who have been complaining of the
hot nights in New York recently have but
a very faint conception of a really hot
night in Peshawar On account of the ma
larious character Of the climate il is i'm
possible to sleep in the open air. and the
excessive heat demands the use Of a pun

and the punkah soon stops. the mosquitoes

awake conscious of all the horrors of a
tropical August or July, and yearn and
long for the cool and refreshing climate Of
the city of New York, when the thermOme-

is really no comparison between the heat
Of india and the heat of New York. and
if we would only give some little time TO
the consideration of our habits OF living,
our clothing, our dwellings and our drinks
we might fnd that. after ALL New York
