KeepinR Cool.

A popular article Of household furni.
ture among Americans in the Philip
pines Is said to be the ''refrigerating
stove" This stove Is designed to keep
people cool insead Of hot. Just as we
heat our houses in the States in winter
with coal stoves, so the wanderer who
has set up housekeeping In the Philip
pines cools his house with a cold stove.
These cold stoves are made to look
something like an ordinary stove, and,
being fed with ammonia and chemicals.
give out radiations Of cold waves In.
stead of heat. One can imagine fam
lily gathering around the refrigerating
stove for GOODNESS on hot night in the
Philippines just as on cold night in
the States they had been accustomed to
gather around the parlor stove for
warmth.

f. ]. Farrar Of Troy, n. H., has Q
crimson rambler rose bush which has
5,l1O blossoms on it, by actual count,
which took four hours. The largest
cluster has fifty single roses in it.
Among European States Russia has
the longest telegraph lines, total Of
1O9,375 miles. Next Is France with
93, $50 miles, Germany with $3.50
miles, Great Britain with 1885 miles
More than twice as many kilograms are
sent in Great Britain as in Germany,
and nearly double the number in
France.
All the stores and other places Of
business in Garden Plain, Kan, ceased
business for three days recently, and
the whole town went into the fields to
help the farmers harvest their grain.
The merchants say that the trade has
been 50 good since they have reopened
that they are sure they have not lost
through closing.
"A Maine woman owns the best pro-
lection against the ubiquitous fly. 1t Is
nothing but simple hornets nest, that
hangs just outside the house door. Its
inmates are SO tanned by the kindness
Of their owner that they never modest
or sting her. Not a fly has entered the
house since the installation Of this
unique nytrap.
William Rowe, merchant in High
land, Doniphan County, Kan, says that
the farmers around there do nearly all
their shopping after supper, and that
they come to town as late as s or
O'Clock and that the buying is often
kept up until after II. The practice
has become SO general that there is lit
tie country trade during the day.
A letter has just been received in
Montpelier, VT, that was mailed in Ire
land tifty-two years ago. 1t was sent
to Montpelier, but from there went to
the dead letter office, where it has re-
manned. The letter was mailed to
Catherine Burger by her daughter, but
as Mrs. Burger Is dead, 1t was deliv-
cred to the sender's sister-in-law when
she was found by the faithful dead let
ter office.
A bald headed resident Of North
Adams has invented means Of pro-
tecting his head from the flies. The
device consists Of piece Of cardboard
through which hole is cut the size of
his head, and over this Is pasted sticky
fly paper, sticky side out. An elastic
cord holds the contrivance in place.
The man says the flies do not detect
the deception until 1t Is too late, but
shoot for the shining surfaces with as
much avidity as they do for the most
polished pate.
