To give perfect digestion TO the child it is
only necessary to give in a pleasant form

not little of these attractions to an old

would find it attractive TO add such a sim

very acceptable in varying the monotony of

In Chicago at least thirteen persons lost
their lives on the Fourth of July by drown-
ing and other accidents. It will doubtless
little wounds that will prove fatal to many
boys stil alive and apparently We'll. All
or the thirteen persons killed in the water
or on the land were men or boys. All of
the cases OF lockjaw which may develop
as the result of the use of toy pistols will
probably be found among boys and young
men.
Such facts go far to explain why nature
brings into the world about loo boys for
every one hundred girls. If there were not
such surplus the sexes would become so
unequal that strong case could be made
Tor polygamy after a few generations. The
work of the fool killer is so much confined
TO men and boys, and the exposure and
peril OF much of the work done by men
cause so many deaths, directly or indirect-
~, that the loss of life and health due to
maternity by no means offsets the influ-
ences which tend to make the death rate
higher Tor males than 1t is for females
The sama conditions account for the SUI
perior longevity of women. Great numbers
OF the strongest and most hardy men are
weakened and diseased and brought TO the
grave long before their normal time by the
reckleSsnasS or young men and boys So
women are given great ADVANTAGE, which
SHOWS more and more plainly as old age
comes on. 1t is not strange that at eighty
they should far outnumber the men and
that at ninety the representation of the
male sex should be so small both abso-
lutely and relatively, as to suggest the con
ciusion, OFTEN hastily reached, that women
arc naturally the more tenacious of life
On the other hand, however il is Juite
certain that they are not notably the weak
er sex in that struggle against death which

What can wear and secure the great
est degree of comfort? is the question most
frequently asked by the sweltering sons
and daughters of men they resort to one
expedient after another in their endeavors
to keep cool during dry days.
Gauze. null, muslin and organde are the
favorite dresses of womankind and even
in these the heat becomes almost intoler-
able. AS a matter of fact, the effect of
heat is to an extent a matter of temper
ament for. although the attire is of the
most diaphanous sort, the wearer suffers
quite much as when clad in something
more substantial
But these thin fabrics look cooler and
fashion demands their use; therefore they
have become the accepted and acceptable
wear of midsummer.
Probably there has never been such a
demand for thin goods as during the present
year. The inexpensiveness and styles. as

Afterward she confessed to her dearest

even then she did not see any one kiss her,

own mind that some one did.

The best way to wash blankets?" said
the superintendent of one of New Yorks
largest laundries. well, the first thing to
be considered is the soap. 1t should be
good white soap and free from rosin. Slice
the soap in kettle of hot water and put it
over the fire until it dissolves-there is no
need for it to boil. Then pour it into the
tub and turn on the water, which should be
hot-almost scalding. Mix the two together
so as to form d good lather; then put in
your blankets. Let them remain in this
water about fifteen or twenty minutes. COW
ering the tub so as to keep in the steam:
then souse them up and down with the
hands and turn them over in the water for
a few moments. One of my women, who is
very successful, has a large tin funnel that
she uses to manipulate her blankets with.
She takes it by the stem and presses the
mouth of the funnel up and down on the
process until she thinks that every part
has had the water passed through it by the
suction of the funnel then takes them out
and passes them through the wringer.
While she is, perhaps, my best blanket
washer, haven't sufficient faith in her
funnel theory to think it at all necessary,
though ! think it much better than using
stick, which should never be allowed, as it
is almost certain to make holes in the
blanket In passing through the wringer the
blanket should always go lengthWise. After
the first Wringing comes a second tub of
hot water, in which has been put a goodly
supply of ammonia. Then another wringing
and another tub of hot water, with just
enough of the soap mixture to make a good
suds. Not a thick suds-nothing like as
thick suds as the first-but just enough
to make the water smooth to the touch
After a thorough rinsing in this water it
should be passed through the wringer or
wrung with the hands lengthwise and hung
in the wind to dry. 1t should never be hung
in the SUM- as it makes it yellow. Soap con-
tanning rosin will also cause yellowness and
cold water harshness. l know you wish to
know why l put soap in the last rinsing
water-to make the blanket soft and pill
able, otherwise it would be harsh and stiff
almost much if washed in cold water

true about all fannels, from the finest to
