A FEW DON'TS.
Advice That Has a Direct Bearing on
 Health and Happiness.

Perhaps you have all heard or read the advice contained in the following "don It's, ,' but it is good enough to be repeated over and over again. We take them from a paper that seems to think as we do about 1t:
 Don't catch cold. Catching cold is much more preventable than it is gen. erally supposed to be. Keep your feet warm and dry, your head cool, your chest well protected. Avoid exposure with an empty stomach. Take care not to cool off suddenly when you are heat- ed. Keep out of drafts, wear flannels and be careful generally.
 Don't sleep ill the same hannels that you wear during the day.
 Don't wear thin stockings or light soled shoes in cold or in wet weather.
 Don't neglect personal cleanliness, but use the bath with moderation and in accordance with your general health. The daily cold bath is all right for the rugged, but it is great tax upon the vitality of weak persons and should not be indulged i'll if the results are at all doubtful Tepid water is always better for those that are not in robust health. Judge for yourself.
 Don't keep the sun out of your living rooms and your sleeping rooms. Sun light is absolutely necessary to put i'll proper condition the air that we breathe.
 Don't neglect your house drainage. The first condition of the family's heath is dry, sweet atmosphere.
 Don't forget that Dr. Good Habits, Dr. Diet and Dr. Exercise are the best doctors in the world. hiladelphia
 'By Hook or Crook"
 In old times the poor of manor were permitted to obtain as fuel the dead wood from the surrounding woodland. The dead twigs and branches which were beyond their reach they were a1- lowed to Top off with hook or a crook.
 There is document among the rec ords of the town of Bodmin which gives the right to the burgesses of the town, under the concession of the prior of Bodmin, ''to bear and carry away on their backs and ill no other way the lop, crop, hoop, croo0 and bag wood in the prior S wood of Dunmser. y
 Another part of this paper mentions this as "a right with hook and crook to lop, crop and carry away fuel, etc., in the same wood.
 The date of this record is 1895. New York World

HE NEVER LOVED A LORD.
Eat His Five Girls Married Titles, All
 the Same.

Eat His Five Girls Married Titles, All
 It was evident that he was not only pretty we'll satisfied with himself, but that he didn't care who knew it.
 Five daughters. he said, "and ev- cry one of them married to a title. That's a pretty good record for man who wouldn't be considered rich enough to buy more than one high grade title. J
 sI don't see how you did it, ]" sug- gested the man who knew nothing ex- cept that the husband with title was ordinarily quoted at a pretty stiff figure.
 "Oh, it's easy when you know how, ]" replied the self satisfied man. ''So far as am concerned I would have prefer red to marry the girls to enterprising young Americans with no titles, but their mother insisted upon getting them something more fashionable, and when their mother insists I have to hump myself and see that things come the way she wants them. l confess it was something of problem at first but when 1 got it figured out ill my mind and began playing the cards 1t was so easy that l was inclined to be ashamed of myself for not trying something harder.
 The self satisfied man stopped long enough for the listener to suggest that he would be glad to hear the story, and then, in view of the fact that they were all married and publicity could do no harm, he told it.
 ''I took all my available assets" he explained, land made them a dowry for my eldest daughter. Naturally there was a rush for her, and she was able to take her pick of i've rushed matters as much as possible, got her married, gave up the dowry had promised, and then steered her titled husband against the Stock Exchange, where l gave him some bad tips, took his trades myself through broker and won back all the dowry and part of his ancestral estates Then l gave the dowry to my second daughter, got her married and played the same game with her husband. worked the scheme right through the family, until I finally married my youngest to baronet yesterday. l got them tospostpone their wedding trip for few days, so as to give me chance to win back the dowry before they had spent any of it, and by day after tomor row expect to be on Easy street again, without care in the world. If girls must have titles why, am ill favor of giving them to them, but don't believe in contributing large fortunes to the support of the tottering monarchies of the old world, and, what's more, don't intend to do it.

DOG OPENED FATHERS EYES
Experience of Man Who Had Several
 Growing Girls.

Growing Girls.
 It is quite interesting to be the fa- ther of several growing girls, " said one or group of family men in the smoker of suburban car.
 Yes, answered another one. with a shrug of his shoulders, especially when they all want new gowns at the same time.
 T wasn't thinking of that. l" said the nrst speaker, but of way they have of taking the wind out of your own sails. It never occurred to me until the other morning that it was not to see me that young fellows kept dropping in to play cards and make themselves agree able. l tumbled at last, but it was my hunting dog Jack that opened my eyes.
 Your hunting dog?' echoed the crowd.
 Yes l had heard of nearly every kind of plan for the communication of lovers except dog. In this case Jack became Cupid s messenger. Those boys borrowed the dog ostensibly to go hunting, but have learned since that they didn know gun from a hoe han dle. They tied Jack up overnight, and as soon as he got out in the morning he made a bee line for home. If I hadn t seen the corner of a paper sticking from under his collar 1 should never have suspected the eagerness with which these girls tried to head him off from me.
 He had a letter for them?"
 No, just note asking the privilege Uf seeing dear Miss Kate or Miss Sue in the park for walk and chat. Nice idea, employing the dog of the family in clandestine eorrespondencel I an- swered that note myself, and the two girls haven't spoken to me since. Jack is tied up, and I'm watching the cat now, for I have no doubt they'll find a way to cireumvent ma" Chicago

Fifteen or more book agents were en-

office of the high school building, at a
meeting of the text book committee
of the school board..g In response to an
invitation from the board, publishing
houses al over the country have sent
Representatives to St Paul to appear
before the board and announce the
merits Of their respective publications.
The law under which the school board
operates provides that contracts for
text books made by the board must not
be less than three years in duration
and not more than five. Although there
is no certainty that the board will make
any radical changes in the books now
in use in the schools, it will make some
changes. No action was taken at the
meeting yesterday, other than to hear
the arguments of the book men and
refer the matter1to. Superintendent
Smith with authority Eto prepare a list
of books, from which the board might
select. Corporation Attorney Markham
has advised the board that a contract
must be made for a period of not less
than three wears.

PICTURESQUE SIGHT.
Departure of the Invading ARMY
From Tampa

Departure of the Invading ARMY
From Tampa.
TAMPA. Fla, June 15.-When the
last transport disappeared from Port
Tampa the count showed that there
We're thirty-six vessels bearing the
United States army of invasion. These
th11ty-six transports were accompanied
to Cuba by sixteen war vessels. NIanv
of the transports were literally black
With soldiers, the great loads of hu
ntan1ty causing the vessels to draw all
the water from sixteen to tWenty-one
feet
The departure Of the fleet was a most
picturesque sight. From the time that
the first vessel loaded with United
States soldiers left the bay until the
last ship had disappeared there was
xEet the slightest confusion or accident
Every vessel cleared easily, and. per-
haps, with less difficulty than would
have happened in any other Southern
port.
One Of the striking features before
the fleet left was the brilliant effect
given by the electric lights, supplied
by one of the largest electric plants in
the South.
1t is believed that many Of the out
going vessels will return from Santi-
ago within the next week or ten DAYS
and will probably transport another
great army to Porto Rico, which is now
being hurried forward from various
points of the South, especially from
the national encampment at Chicka-
manga.
