In speaking OF the necessity Tor
country merchants to intelligently
advertise their goods in order to
counteract the inroads of the mail
order business OF city department
stores the PawtuXet Valley Times
has the following.
The advertising done by the aver
age country merchant is usually
something terrible. He does not
consider advertising force 10y which
he is to directly increase his business,
but as kind of leg-pulling PROPOSE
ton on the part of the local news
paper. Any old thing will do him
In the way of an announcement, and
the smaller the space the editor will
let him down with the better the
bargain he imagincs he has made.
Some merchants carry nothing but a
stereotyped card, year IN and year
out, yet if they stopped to think
they find that they have dozens OF
things they could sell at less than
regular prices and which, if made
known, would attract many buyers
who would otherwise send to the
big cities for them. The secret OF
the success of the mail order firms
is simply because their advertise
ments tell something.

MISTAKES TO AVOID.

An English paper gives what II terms
thirteen mistakes OF life:"
II is n great mistake to set up our
own standard Of right and wrong and
Judge people accordingly.
TO measure the enjoyment OF others
by our own.
TO expect uniformity OF opinion In
this world.
To look for Judgment and experience
In youth.
TO endeavor TO mold nll dispositions
alike.
TO look for perfection In our own nc
tlons.
TO worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
Not to yield In immaterial matters.
Not to alleviate all TINT needs allevia'

Not to make allowances for the mfr.
mites Of others.
TO consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite minds

To expect to be able to understand
everything.

LAST Friday the country was
shocked by the news that President
Mckinley had been assasinated by
an anarchist at Buffalo. For two OF
three days it seemed very likely that
the country must mourn Tor another
martyred chief executive, but now
the bulletins from the President S
physicians indicate thar the assassin's

country there is feeling of rage

In these "insufferabIe" days one turns
with longing to Sidney Smiths suggestion
of taking off his flesh and sitting in his
bones. With the heavens of brass. and the
earth rejecting its glow, the question how
to keep cool becomes paramount Much
may be done to mitigate the discomfort
Of extreme heat by wise attention to
diet. The engine of potential energy still
needs stocking, but with a change Of fuel.
Now Is the time to reduce the butchers
bill. Meat can be largely laid aside SUBJ
stituting the less heating eggs and fish.
The wealth Of vegetables and fruit affords
the variety needed, and is instrumental in
purging the blood of those gross humors''
brought on by heat or oyer-indulgence in
heat producing foods. In the majority of
families the breakfast bowl OF mush is
now consigned to a season Of '.innocuous
desuetude." II stfll retained, let the light

Without being hard and fast vegetar-

vegetables are not only wholesome, but
absolutely essential to man. Fifty years
ago no one knew of just what elements
our bodies and foods were composed, nor
could explain how the different nutritive
ingredients Of the food served their pur-
poses in nutrition, yet intuition-fostered
by long experience, taught those wise wo-

HOT TEA IN SUMMER.
A Chinese Way of Keeping Cool in
Warm Weather.

A Chinese Way of keeping cool In
Warm Weather.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There is one class of citizens in Cleveland
that is always cool, no matter how warm
the rays from the sun may make their
neighbors feel. In the warm spell of last
week and yesterday the Chinese residents
of the city. are never heard to complain,
and while all other nationalities seemed to
be represented in the reports of deaths and
heat victims, the celestial alone seemed to
possess immunity.
The reason for the composure with which
the Boxer meets the heat does not lie In
the fact that he is in position to take an
unlimited quantity of cooling drinks or HE
away to some seaside palace, where poppy
blossoms might lull him to slumbers and
sweet dreams of the orient. In all the hot
weather John was to be found at his IRON
ing board or chopping meat for yokomai
for American customers. His residence, no
matter what means he takes to possess
himself of the coin of the realm from wash
ing shirts to dealing out the somnfferous
drug to the lovers of the pipe, is usually In
the most densely populated part of the city.
He Is where the crowds are, lodges In the
tenement district and where suffocation
comes with the continuation of warm
weather His GOODNESS is due to the fact
that he has an antidote for the heat in the
shape of tea from his native land, and he
knows how to take 1t. The hotter the day
the warmer will be the tea which he drinks
in unstinted quantities.
One of the followers of Confucius, who
has an extended reputation for his dexter
ity in mixing chop sooy for the cultivated
taste of actors and people with Thespian
tastes, explained the reason why none of
his people ever suffer with heat. He also
said that during the hot weather none of
his people ever eat any meat, and even the
odor of yokomai has no temptation for him
The philosophy of the Chinaman is that the
abstinence from meat and the Indulgence
In the boiling tea act In conjunction to keep
him from feeling the heat. The tea Is sup
posed not only to relieve all thirst, but to
induce perspiration that in turn brings
about lower temperature.
The Chinaman also eschews any attempt
at bathing during the heated season and
declares that this also contributes to his
general chilly temperature. He never ham,
pers himself with extra clothes. and above
all has never learned to read a thermom-
eter.

FISH Of THE NORTH SEA.

From the London Express.
There are just as good fish In the sea
as ever came out OF 1t.
The proverb is the formula of the ma
ticnal optimism, and as such, I'm regard to
the comforting view of life which 1t is In
tended to convey, may be true enough.
But as a simple statement of fact 1t IL
unfortunately shockingly untrue.
There are not just as good fish In the
sea as used to be caught. there are not
nearly 30 many OF them, and the compare
tive few that remain are much more diff

One OF the paradoxes of waste is that
the persons most addicted to 1t are not
men and women of Independent means,
who can support themselves In spite Of
their extravagant expenditure, but the
poorer classes. There Is hardly an able
bodied laborer who might not become finan-
cially independent. II he would but care
fully husband his receipts and guard
against the little leaks OF needless ex-
pense. But, unfortunately. this Is the one
thing which the workingman finds 1t the
hardest to do. There are hundred labor
ers who are willing to work hard. to every
half-dozen who are willing properly to hus-
band their earnings. Instead OF boarding
small percentage Of their receipts, SO as
to provide against sickness or want of
employment, they eat and drink up their
earnings as they go, and thus, In the first
financial crash. when mills and factories

cash instead OF using It In great enter
prises. they are ruined. Men who thus
more than a days march ahead of actual
want. are little better or than slaves.

The Afternoon Nap.
From the Philadelphi'
To Won oou hour

II you can beguile the denizens Of the
nursery into taking an afternoon nap to
keep them asleep In the hottest hours of the
day, between and o'clock. you will do q
good thing. Tell them they can stay up
longer at night in consequence of the after
noon siesta. It is merciless to send children
OF TO bed In the cool OF the evening, when
the sun Is down and 1t is agreeable to be
out OF doors. Relax the discipline Of the
winter and permit the little ones to cool on
in the dusk and play about In the pleasant
evening air. A bath win predispose them to
an afternoon nap. provided this does not
come too close to the children's early DIM
ner.
