AN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS.

suitable time for housepainting. There
is no frost deep In the wood to make
trouble for even the best job OF paint

summer has put tho wood into good

moreover, is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length OF time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money II they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.

SUGGESTIONS FOR NOVEL AND

Two Thoughtful Bon Voyage Gifts
A Delightful Lawn Party-An'
other Musical Game.
Two Bon Voyage Gifts.

For a young boy who was going to
Europe for six months girl friend
made this charming gift whereby
many an hour was happily spent, and
1t provided amusement not only for
him, but the grown.ups in the party
enjoyed 1t quite as much.
1t was blank book, the first pages
containing 80 cleverly illustrated
book titles" The key" to this was
given to the lads mother. Then
there were number OF pages ruled
OFF forming diary, covering the
months of the journey.
After this came snap shots OF his
own house, the street on which he
lived and of the children who were
his playmates and friends. There
were valentines from these chums,
also Easter cards, April fool jokes
and fourth of July souvenirs. The
special pages were tied together
with mot to be opened till the date,
written on the page preceding. and
the boys birthday pages were con
ccaled in the same manner. The
other going away" gift was arranged
for a baby of three years, who was
to make the long months voyage to
South America, and friend provided
a huge ball of worsted. with the in
structions TO unwind one surprise
n day. The ball cent: in-i ali sorts
of little novelties, a top, dolls of va
rious kinds, n tiny bottle of per
fumery. gay handkerchief, knife
pair of round,pointed scissors, small
boxes of odd shapes flied with bon
bons. toy animals, and coarse
needle, threaded. and a number OF
large-holed buttons.
The mother said the surprise ball
was reserved until everything else
failed. then 1t provided amusement
and the last article was unwound as
the steamer went into the harbor oil
Rio Janeiro, and life assumed a new
interest In that strange land.

Several hours later Mr.. Newsom
was walking through the field and

was still hot, and he took a shovel

curiosity how much of the ground had
been affected.
Ten inches down lie found that tho

Plenty Of Time for Exercise In Cool
of Summer Day-What
Makes for Grace.

The body needs air, exercise and
warm days of summer as well as the
cold days of winter; during the crisp,
sparkling days of the late fall as well
as the half sultry and wholly languor'
Gus days of the spring. The exercise,
to be sure. should not be so violent
and should haze much OF the real
pleasure element in 1t. but 1t should
be exercise and taken daily.
The time for 1t should also be wise
ly chosen during the warm days, for
four II is well TO rest and the ham
mock, cool corner of the porch or
shady nook in orchard or grove tempts
one to settle down with book, fancy
work or friends, and It is well to
have plenty of such hours sprinkled
generously through our summers fun,
But for bodily exercise (other than
deep breathing, which may and
should be INDUCED in at all hours and
many times during the long warm
days. the best time is In the early
morning, when the air itself tempts
one to motion, or in the late afternoon,
for then It is that tennis, golf, field

The finest trout In the world, says
Or. Barton w. Everhann of the bu.

trout" and in beauty OF coloring
gameness and delicacy Of flavor 1t has
no equal,
SO far as is known. 1t exists only
in this stream, which is about 20
miles in length. President Roosevelt
recently called attention of the bureau
OF fisheries to this unique specimen.
with the result that DR.. Evermann was
sent to Califstnia to study it's habits
and environment and to see whether
Il might not be introduced elsewhere.
IIo reports that the trout Is In dan
ger OF determination and that fishing
in the stream must be prohibited by
the state ol California for three years
II the trout Is to be saved. DR.. Ever
