Drinks for Hot Days.

An exchange gives the following reel pc for a hostess who is thoughtful enough to ladle out glass of something cold and sparkling from a big punch bowl these hot days
 The bowl Is of silver, of blue china, of glass or of white ware painted gayly with grapes or flowers. A big lump of ice floats in the beverage. Perhaps cher ries and strawberries float around the ice and maybe sprigs of mint cover the Top. The ladle Is deep and broad as to bowl and long and curved as to handle. The glasses or cups from which one drinks are thin as soup bubbles and preferably clear Pale green. amber and opalescent glass are pretty, but clear crystal looks cooler and allows one to admire the color of the beverage between sips.
 If one is believer In misunderstanding beverages only, lemonade, iced tea, fruit syrups with ice water, apple wine, cur rant water and lemon barley water are cooling and grateful drinks Barley water favored with lemon has been ele- vated to a position of honor even in clubs of late.
 It is a favorite luncheon drink and when properly made Is not only refresh ing, but also a wonderful quencher of that perpetual thirst from which many suffer in hot weather When making cups of various kinds, success depends on the iudicious blending of the ingredients and care should be taken not to add too much sugar
 Currant water is delicious. Take a pint of the fresh picked fruit, and when they have been washed let them simmer in a quart of water, to which heaping teaspoonful of powdered sugar has been added. When cold strain and ice. This currant nectar may be handed in glasses in which a slice of lemon and a few of the fresh entrants are swimming. A simpler method is to dissolve a teaspoon full of currant jelly in a glass of cold water sweetened to taste. Currant water is excellent in it's medicinal effects, as 1t acts on the liver.
 Pineapple cup Is not Good Tempar drink but 1t loses none of it's refresh ing qualities for that reason. To make It, put into jug four or five thin slices of fresh pineapple, the peel of half small lemon, cut very thin; two table spoonfuls of sugar. a wineglassful of brandy and gill of orange flower water Cover the jug closely and let the con- tents remain at least an hour before the cup is required Then add a bottle of sparkling hook which has been iced' SUIT well. strain into the bowl in which the cup is to be served and add bottle Of iced seltzer. A few sweet scented yer bena leaves should float on the top of the cup

NoRTHPoRT'S SCHOOL HOUSE. It Will Be Large and Well Equipped. A Prosperous Business Town.

Tuscaloosa, July S.-(Special) )-North- port, the prosperous little town just across the Warrior river from Tuscaloosa, is going to build a neat modern school house. Mayor s. F. Mayfield has adver- tised for bids for the erection of the school house. and work will begin shortly on the structure, which will be far ahead of any school house of the kind usually built in towns the size of Northport. The commercial importance of that village is far beyond what Is usually attributed to it. There are a half dozen prominent citizens of the county who have become comparatively wealthy in business there. One conspicuous example of this is Mir D. l.. Rosenau, manager of the Tuscaloosa mills at Cottondale. with a capital stock of $150000. MT. Rosenau and his brother, Monroe, are also at the head of the Rosenau hosiery mills in this place, which has just been recently started here and which Is giving employment to a large number of operatives.
