1t may appear impossible to forget
the heat, but it really is not as impos-
sible as it may seem. We hear a woman
say: "Oh, how do you stand this heat?
| don't do thing but try to keep cool,
and l suffer even then" Well, that is
hardly the way to keep COOL Nine
cases out of ten it is the woman who
has something to do, who has purpose
to accomplish, an aim worthy of full
filling, who is able to forget the heat.
Life is wretched thing at all times
unless there is something to accom-
plish, so have purpose, mean to do
something, and don't be content to do
that something in halfway fashion.
Do it as we'll as it could be done. You
have heard of the woman who tries to
keep so many engagements in an after
noon. She goes to reception and says:
Il can only stay minute; l promised
to be at Mrs. Browns thimble party
moment" Then she rushed on to Mrs
Browns and repeats the same refrain.
When at last she reaches home, she is
worn out and cross, and declares society
a bore. If she could only learn to live
each moment not continually living an
hour ahead, what peace she would bring
herself and others. Don't try to live
tomorrow in today. Live the best you
can as you go, and the future will take
care of itself.

Make the Children Helpful.

Never should the mother, through
that foolish desire to keep her child as
long as possible dependent upon her,
or that worse pride which would show
itself to be self-sufficient, refuse the
proffered help of her child If she is
doing something in which, from the ma
ture of things, he cannot share, let her
be careful to substitute some other low
ing service while declining the one prof
fered, remembering that love turned
away nourishes selfishness, and prof.
fered help refused begets idleness. She
may have to say: mo, dear, you cannot
help me to dress the baby, but she can
add: you may hand mamma the
clothes"

Summer.
The summer, the divinest summer
burns,
The skies are bright with azure and
with gold,
THE mavis and the nightingale by
Amid the woods a soft enchantment
hold;
Ehe Towering woods, with glory and
delight,
Their tender leaves unto the air have
spread;
The wanton air, amid their alleys
bright,
Doth softly fly, and a light fragrance
shed:
The nymphs within the silver fountains
play,
The angels on the golden banks re-
cline,
Wherein great Flora, in her bright
array,
Hath sprinkled her ambrosial sweets
divine;
Or, else, l gaze upon that> beauteous
face,
o Amoret and think these sweets
have place.

To Clean Gloves ut Home.

Here is a cheap way of cleaning
gloves at home: Have ready a little
new milk in a saucer, and a piece of
towel or cloth folded three or four
times. Spread the glove out on the
cloth smoothly, take piece of flannel,
dip it in the milk, then rub the glove
downward toward the fingers, holding it
firmly with the left hand Continue
this process until the glove, if white,
looks dingy yellow, though clean. If
colored, till it looks dark and spoiled
Lay it in the sun to dry, and it will
come out looking like new, and be soft,
glossy, smooth and elastic

Piazza ENTERTAINMENTS for Summer
Days.

P1aZzn ENTERTAIN III ents for Summer
Days.
With the advent of summer weather
those who have roomy, shady piazza
are sure to take advantage of it for the
many little entertainments that are
given through the hot season. and the
informality which naturally attends all
outdoor festivities contributes no small
share to their success.
A CLOVER LUNCH PARTY.
Set as many small tables as your
piazza will accommodate, according to
number of guests invited Decorate the
tables with clover blossoms and grasses.
The hostess and those who receive
should also wear them.
pretty arrangement for the tables
is to bunch the clovers and grasses to-
gether in an upright position at the four
corners for square tables, as they are
out of the way of the guests there. For
round tables have round linen cloths
that just come to the edge of the table,
and border them with rope of clover
blossoms and grasses wound round to-
gether-the clover heads grow in such
abundance that. it is an easy matter to
getrenough to trim any number of ia
bleS.
Plan for as many cold dishes as pos
sible, as this not only simplifies mat
ters for the hostess, but is more appetiz-
ing on hot day. The following is an
excellent menu for lunch to be served
on the piazza:
First Course-Clam bouillon served
in cups with water waters, if near the
seacoast. Beef bouillon, if inland.
Second Course-Cold tongue garnished
with water cress and radish dice. Serve
with tiny buttered rolls.
Third Course-Lobster salad, if near
seacoast. Chicken salad, if inland.
Serve with fingers of buttered toast.
Fourth Course Pineapple frappe, with
small cakes.
Fifth Course-Iced chocolate, with
whipped cream.
The hostess receives her guests usu-
ally near the porch steps, and some
friend or relative of the family, who is
assisting her to receive, assigns them a
place at one of the tables, and the
luncheon is Immediately served when
all are assembled
The guests should separate and change
tables at the end of each course, which
will thus bring them in contact with
other guests, and give life and variety
to party of this kind.
It might be daisy or a buttercup
lunch equally as well as a clover lunch,
just as one prefers. Any of the wild |
lowers are more appropriate to an out |
door entertainment than the cultivated |
ones
A RASPBERRY TEA.

BUFFALO BILLS SHOW.
It will Be Produced on Monday in
This City.

Buffalo Bilrs wild West and Con-
gress of Rough Riders Is an enter
tainment so universally popular that
the mere announcement of its early
appearance at any point is sufficient
to stir up the interest OF all amuse-
mcnt seekers and hero worshippers
The phenomenal success of Colonel
cody and his company during the past
eighteen years has been the wonder
of the amusement world, and public
patronage has this season been the
greatest ever known by the wild West,
thereby proving its continued hold on
public esteem.
To the many exciting scenes Of
pioneer life. both in peace and war;
that have been popular features of the
wild West, there has been added one
incident that is the most famous in
current history. namely, that gallant
charge of American soldiers up the
hill of San Juan during the siege of
Santiago. less than twelve months ago.
Messrs. Cody and Salisbury In order
to add as much as possible of the gen
uine article to this representation, have
engaged nearly three hundred ex-Unit-
ed states regular and volunteer SOL
diers who participated in the late in
vasion in Cuba, among the number
being a detachment Of Roosevelts
Rough Riders, who have been endorsed
by the governor of New York as being
the simon pure articles. The scene
has been pronounced the greatest rep
resentation of a battle ever given to
the public. All branches of the mill
tary spryice heinr brought into Dlay
and the whole produced under the eX-
perienced management of Mr.. Nate
Salisbury. veteran of the Civil war
and manager of the Wild West The
show will be produced here on Monday.
