Keeping the House Cool.

GLOW best to keep the house cool in
summer is grave problem, writes Mrs.
5. I. Rorer in the July Ladies' Home
Journal. ''During the hot months the
house is much more livable if artificial
heat can be cut down to the minimum.
Use the stove early in the morning, pre-
pare certain foods that will keep we'll, and
avoid the necessity of a big fire during
the rest of the day. Bare floors are very
much more pleasant in summer than
straw mating, although the latter is pre-
felable to carpets or rugs Where one
can command water supply the house is
measurably cooled by reducing the tenn
perature 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 OF dampness, consequently it should
not be allowed to enter any portion of the
house. All the rooms in the house should
be kept scrupulously clean and neat
''1f the outside temperature is not appre
Gladly lower at night than during the day
it is almost impossible to keep sufficient
ly comfortable 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 particularly helpful
where there are children. If the heat con-
tinues during the night the changing of the
water will preserve an even temperature in
the room. Air your cellars at night when
it 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.
Keep the cellar perfectly clean and fresh.
Frequent coats of whitewash with plenty
of lime are of the greatest value in sum-

The House Committees.
Speaker Reed Will Appoint Them Before Adjourn.
mHnt.

ment.
WASHINGTON, June 2S. Speaker Reed
said to-day that he had the matter of the
appointment of the committees under
consideration and that unless something
now unforeseen occurred to change his
present inclination he would prepare the
list and submit them prior to the final adj
journment.
The Speaker has had ample opportunity
during the extra session for ascertainine
the wishes and qualifications of the mem
bers for committee assignments, and al
though the actual work of preparations
on the committee lists had not been begun
the task will probably be rendered easier
than usual by the fact that most of the
chairmen of the important committees in
the last House are members of the present
House aud the Speaker has now personal
acquaintance with all the new members.
One of the interesting things in connec-
ton with the appointment of the commit
tees is the disposition to be made of the p
Populists. In writtencommunication to
the Speaker early in the session they de-
manded recognition on the committees as
a separate party. Heretofore they have not
been recognized. Neither Speaker Reed
nor the late Speaker Crisp recognized the
party of which they are members as enti-
tied to separate recognition and their as
signments as rule were confined to unim-
portant committees. None of the big COM
mittees, like the Ways and Means, Appro-
priation, Foreign Affairs or judiciary, has
had Populist member The Democrats
will protest if the Populists are given rep
resentation at their expense.
1t is not considered at all likely that
Speaker Reed will change his policy re-
garding the Populists.
When Mr.. Reed comes to make up his
lists he will doubtless confer with Mr.
Bailey of Texas, who was selected as a
candidate for Speaker by the Democratic
caucus. There is no intimation of any
change in the craftsmanship of the prin-
cipal committees. Where the old chair
men are members of the present House
they will doubtless, with possibly an ex-
ception or two, be re-appointed.

Exploring Islands for Gold.

HERMosILLo, STATE of SONORA, Mex,
June 30. The expedition sent from San
Francisco by Jesse Grant and his asso-
ciates to explore the islands in the Gulf of
California, has arrived at Tiburon Island.
This is one of the largest islands in the
Gulf, and is occupied by the Seri Indians.
The expedition will make an effort to
thoroughly explore the island, as it is
said to contain rich gold deposits, and is
known to have extensive beds of guano.
Under the terms of the concession grant
ed to Mr.. Grant he will be entitled to the
profits OF all the discoveries they make on
the islands of the Gulf of California.

When We Go Fishing.

When we go fishing in the brook,
joey and Cicely and l,
A crooked pin 8 our only hook.
That catches 'em! Sometimes we tie
The string tight to willow limb
just where the biggest minnows swim.
Then we lie down there in the shade,
And watch our hobs that trip and float:
And once a bridge of rocks we made,
And built castle and moat;
But, just as sure as we begin,
Why, joey goes and tumbles in.
Then all the frightened fish they hide
Beneath the rocks and in pool.
There's not minnow to be spied!
The water settles clear and cool
With bubbles tween the rocks, and foam;
But then we must take Joey home
OF course he cries at mama's look
She says: SIS this the only fish
That you can catch in Silver Brooke
She knows, though, we'd get all she'd
wish,
With just our string and pail and pin
If joey wouldn't tumble in!

Japanese or American, Which i?

The anti annexation papers, in telling
how much Japan will suffer if the United
States annexes Hawaii, are giving their
clients case away Japan, they say in
substance, has been rushing immigrants
into Hawaii in immense numbers in re-
cent years under the understanding as
declared by the treaty between Japan and
Hawaii in 1871, that these people shall be
guaranteed all the rights and privileges
allowed to other foreigners-that is, al
lowed the same rights and privileges as
Americans, Englishmen, Germans and
others of the white race. But as annexa-
ton will wipe out all Hawaii treaties
with other nations, these papers say that
the Japanese will lose all these privileges.
We'll, perhaps the japanese in Hawaii
will suffer to some extent. But what
would happen to American interests in
the islands, which are greater than Japan S
| interests if this wave of Japanese immi-
| grafton should be kept up? And what
does this wave of immigration mean? 1t
means that Japan has a set purpose to
overrun the islands with men of her race,
and then seize them. There are now, it
is estimated, 25, 900 japanese in Hawaii,
or not far from third of the population
of the islands. They form the largest
single element of the population except
the natives, and as the natives are rapidly
dying out and the japanese still more
rapidly increasing the japanese would
soon be in the preponderance. 1t would
be very easy for Japan under these CON
ditions to get up a claim or devise some
sort Of pretext which would enable her
to establish a ''protectorate'' over the
islands, to ''mediate'' between her sons
and the white race, or in some other way
get the coveted country into her posses
sion.
Japan course in respect to Hawaii in
the few months Immediately preceding
the negotiation of the annexation treaty
can be explained only on the theory that
she had sinister designs on the independ-
ence of the little republic. Her conduct
since the treaty was framed strengthens
that presumption. In foilng Japan
too soon. Tie rushing of japanese i'm
migration into the islands, the recent
quarrel between Japan and the authori-
ties of the republic over the rights, or
pretended rights, of the Japanese, and
Jaran's protest to the United States
against annexation, are all parts Of a
single carefully devised scheme to get
possession of the islands. 1t is not the
form or the time of annexation that an
gers Japan-t is the fact of annexation.
The events of the past few months have
brought this Hawaiian question down to
its simplest elements. Hawaii must be
either American or Japanese To this
complexion the issue has come at last.

Contagious Blood Poison has been ap-
