TO KEEP THE HOUSE COOL.
To A Little Care Will Modify the In
tense Summer Heat.

How best to keep the house cool in
summer is grave problem" writes
Mrs. S. T. Rorer in the Ladies' home
Journal. During the hot months the
house is much more livable if arti-
fetal heat can be cut down to a mini
mum. Use the stove early in the morn
ing, prepare certain foods that will
keep well, and avoid the necessity of
big fire during the rest of the day.
Bare floors are very much more pleas
ant in summer than straw mating,
although the latter is preferable to car
pets or rugs Where one can COM
mand water supply the house Is
measureably cooled by reducing the
temperature of the pavement and
grounds around by copious sprinklings.
A goodly stream of new air should be
allowed to sweep through the entire
house morning and evening. The hot
air of midday will condense quickly on
cold walls and cause mould or damp
ness, consequently it should not be al
lowed to enter any portion of the
house. All the rooms in the house
house should be kept scrupulously
clean and neat If the outside temper
ature is not appreciably lower at night
than during the day it is almost i'm
possible to keep sufficiently comfort
able to obtain necessary rest. The
sleeping-rooms may be cooled by plac-
ing in the center of each a tub two
thirds full of cool, or better, ice, water.
This will absorb the heat Of the room
in few hours, and will be found par
ticularly helpful where there are chill
dren. If the heat continues during the
night the changing of the water will
preserve an even temperature in the
room. Air your cellars at night when
1t is possible. Close them at nine in
the morning and they will be cool and
dry the entire summer Exceptions to
this rule are on windy days, as the
rapid motion of. the air does not allow
condensation. 4>eep the cellar perfect
ly clean and fresh. Frequent coats of
whitewash with plenty of lime are Of
the greatest value in summer.

PEsTIFERoUs BUFFALO CHATS.
North Carolina Man Tells of His Ex.
perience With Them.

John w. Rusk OF Bellport, N. c.,
writes to the Sun regarding the buffalo
gnat:
II think that, as native of North
Carolina would say, the entomologists
have not met up with the gnat in
over large area of the country. met
the gnats several years ago in Arkan-
sas, on the bottom lands of the st.
Frncis river, and think they were the
greatest pest I ever saw. In shape
they resemble a buffalo somewhat;
hence the name. They do not bite or
sting their victims. They have a dis
agreeable habit Of flying from the
ground and striking one in the face.
But the chief trouble is that they crawl
into the mouth, nostrils and the ears
and deposit their eggc, which hatch in
very short time. The larvae eat
away the membranes, causing death to
large numbers of stock of all kinds
and of many game animals.
1.-THE planters of the St. Francis
set old logs afire in the woods for
smoke to protect stock, which will
eagerly rush to the smudge and stand
in it to get rid OF the pest.
"On one occasion I was kindling a
fire to keep off gnats, when large
buck deer came rushing to the smoke
and stood in it, not needing my pres
ence. In few minutes flock of wild
turkeys and also four or five wild hogs
came for protection. 1t is not an un-
common sight to see mule before the
pillow, trudging along with bucket
containing smudge hanging from its
neck. The mule will keep its nose
over the smoke as much as possible.
The gnat cannot stand smoke. New
York Sun.
