ART OF KEEPING COOL.
Sensible suggestions to Follow Dur
 ing the Coming Summer.


 When the hot summer days are upon us and II is impossible to change our environment the best help toward keep ing cool is to learn to adapt ourselves 10 it. But with aii of us habit is so strong that few of Us think of adapta- tion. and as q consequence we suffer from way of living which is suited only to the cold winter months
 The cultivation of peace of mind iS the first requisite. \ cool bath taken on rising is the best tonic to prepare one for the days labor and exposure. A tepid cooi bath or short hot bath may he taken in tEe evening and if greatly fatigued it is one of the most effective means of bringing refreshing sleep. Another necessity to keeping cool iS not only in the exercise of body. but in the matter of diet as well. All bodily heat arises from the oxidation or burning of the food we eat So when the temperature rises the body needs less fuel \ warm weather breakfast should be a very light meal As four -ffths of our food is used for 1utl Il lS tdSllA StFu tHdl III SuIDl1tI We need only small quantity to sup ply vitality for bodily and mental work The ideal breakfast would be whole wheat bread or zwieback. with some wholesome ripe fruit, such as strawberries, Plums. melons or apples
 By giving ourselves the benefit of our store of common sense many of us would go forth to the trials of day in the heat prepared for il by q diet conducive to health. How many man prepares for such q day with breakfast made up of griddlecakes, soda biscuit fried eggs and bacon. saul sages. worcestershire sauce and strong coffee. By noon he feels the heat 10 such an extent that he feels compelled to drink large quantities of ice water beer CT other cooling beverages. Con .trast the discomforts of such q one in the temperate zone with T cooly work ing bareheaded in the direct rays of the sun fn climate 20 degrees hotter. The eoolv is not uncomfortable because he has adapted his diet to his environ ment. Any nan who eXcites his heart and irritateS his nerves hy diet of flesh foods must expect 10 need HI sorts of artificial means te make his life bearable in the hot weather.-New York Herald.

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Pony coats of black silk with mar row collar of Irish embroidery are worn with the light skirts.
 Tailored suits of taffeta are in de mand for summer wear The three piece suit has q lingerie CT silk blouse.
 A collar to have any pretensions to smartness must be one with the waist or trimmed so as to leave that appear ance.
 Colored linens are possibly somewhat less fashionable than last year. but white linens are every whit as great favorites
 Besides linen belts, which are very popular, all sorts of soft leather and suede belts are worn. The pongee shades are modish, and a few white and pale cOlors are seen.
 Embroidered batiste motives and bands are used to trim many net and allover lace waists. white and ecru. Often the yoke is of the batiste, and the effect is wonderfully good with the fllmy net beneath.-New York Post.

Collecting Fares In Montreal.

The manner of collecting the fare on street cars in Montreal is decidedly unique Under no circumstances can the conductor touch the fare. which must be deposited by the passenger in a fare box, which is presented as the passenger enters the door of the car. The conductor will make change or sell tickets, but the passenger deposits the fare, whichever 1t may be, in the box. The coin or ticket does not fall until the conductor presses a button. This gives opportunity to see if the amount is correct and the coin genuine. When once the coin drops it cannot be re moved except in the eompany's office
 After the cashiers count the days re ceipts the count is checked by weighing the different coins and also the tickets.

 The shipment of apples the past week was not so heavy as the week previous. This was not due to a lack of apples. but the shippers have simply been unable to secure cars. This de- lay is proving quite expensive, as all the shippers have men scattered over the country and their salaries and expenses have to be paid the same as if they were busy every day disposing of apples. There seems to be 10 remedy, however, and all the shippers can do is to simply wait. The tronble is due to the fact that there is shortage of cars all over the country. The factories where the cars are made are also behind with their orders and cannot turnout cars as fast as they are wanted.
 As predicted by The News last week the price of apples is stiffening up, Ben Davis selling at 75 cents per barrel and s1.25 for varieties.
 The question of fuel has. be- come a serious matter with Kim mons, Walker X Co.,, and they were forced to suspend operations at noon Wednesday, although they are still buying apples. They had car of coal shipped from Huntington on the 5rd. inst, and 1t has not yet arrived. They have been using coal large- ly this season, consequently had made no arrangements for wood, and now they find themselves unable to secure either Wood is getting to be quite scarce article.
