proper thing to do Is to live as much
as possible out doors. You need a
good comfortable mattress and a rug
for a cover at night. You need a few
rocking chairs for use In the day
time. A hammock or two hung in the
shade of a tree and a few warm rugs
with the necessary sheets and table lin
en- constitute the principal movable
necessities.
BY way of furniture a dining table
with a chair for each person and a
table in the kitchen big enough to
hold a few necessary articles and at
the same time leave n end free for
work with the simplest possible bed
room equipment is enough in this line,
but a good kitchen stove is a great
comfort. 1t is better to put a little
more money in the stove and a little
less in the other furnishing If econo.
my in this direction seems necessary.
Too many summer cottages are pro.
vided with show furniture for the
front part of the house TO the neglect
of the working end. Live as simply

The general plan OF this summer
cottage is about as simple as a house
could be built 1t is just one long
house 20 feet wide with a wing at
the back for a kitchen. The plain
ness OF such a building would be IN
objection but Il is relieved by the
dormer windows n the long front
porch, so that in appearance the cot
tage is all right from an artistic stand
point.
a wall is not necessary; the house
Is set on posts. If the ground is un-
even the lower part may be used for
storage for boats, which is a very
good thing, because in order to keep
a boat from leaking it is necessary to
keep 1t out of the sun when not in
actual use. 1t is very difficult to keep
a boat tight without such care and a
leaky boat is an intolerable nuisance.
Before the siding is put on a good
quality of building paper is tackled to
the st1dding. Some builders of sum-
mer cottages consider this unneces-
sary, but Il is a good thing to keep
ont insects and IL is valuable at times
when the weather is cool. Then pos
sibly II may be necessary at some
future time to finish the house for
comfort in cold weather, The paper
costs but little, so the extra expense
when building is not a serious con-
s%ideration. The paper may be put on
easily at hat time and 1t cannot be
done to advantage afterward.
All the rooms are finished inside
with three-eights Norway or common
pine ceiling. All around at the top
and bottom a quarter round is nailed,
which makes very neat corners. There
is no painting or vanishing inside
but the outside is well painted with
two coat of paint having a pure
white lead base. No matter how cheap
a cottage may be constructed it must
have a pleasing appearance. Good
! paint is very necessary and the way

German Death Test.

Although II is asserted by nearly
every practicing physician that the
possibility Of being buried alive can
only occur where a medical examina-
ton has not been made, an eminent
physician and surgeon states that a
stronger, absolutely reliable guaran-
tee for discerning actual death is still
demanded, and the demand has been
met by the discovery of a new
medium for ascertalning death with
perfect certainty.
This new death test consists in in
jecting a solution of %fuorescine deep
into the tissues. If circulation exists
the skin and mucous membranes be-
come very yellow and the eyes assume
the color Of emeralds; If the circula-
ton has ceased none of these results
occur.
The discoverer proposes that at
least two hours before the body is
placed in a coffin such an injection
with ~auorescine be made. II life is
not yet extinct the injection does no
harm and the coloriug within a short
time entirely disappears without the
slightest injury TO the patient.-Scien,
tihc American.

in which 1t is put on counts for as
much as the paint itself, The char
acter of the owner is reckoned very
largely according to the outside APP
pearance OF the house, and a sum-
mer cottage is no exception to this
rule.
Generally speaking, 1t is not neces
sary TO put a great deal of work on
the grounds surrounding the summer
cottage, but a few vines add a great
deal of comfort and good looks, while
a few fruit trees help u the summer
menu. 1t is sometimes difficult to get
fresh fruit just when ii is most need
ed. Early apples, cherries, peaches
and pears may be grown quickly II
dwarf trees are planted, and the trees
may be easily cared for without run
ming into very much expense, Berry
bushes make more work but a good

fruit gardens, and | notice that such
places are more attractive than eX,

attention.

Watch the Expenditures.

feel as IL the shovels of coal that
rattle into the furnace in winter, are
menacing their very life, since coal is
never cheap and burns away like mad
once the match and the kindling wood
have set ii going. Gas is scarcely an
economy because being in the control
of heartless monopolies the house
holder is almost certain to be pre-
sented with a bill that surprises him
by its size and extent, and against the
payment of which it is vain to protest,
On the whole, the stinting, pairing and
scraping must be applied somewhere
else. To live at all one must have fire
with which to cook food and to keep
warm, and the saving must touch
some other point.
Two cautions may be given people
who would live well on a small in
come. Economic in the matter of the
wardrobe. A great deal of money is
needlessly frittered away on dress. 1t
Is by no means essential to be always
at the height of the fashion. A good
cut OF dress or coat should last two or
three seasons instead of one. They
who understand economy and who pay
cash often do well by shopping a lit
tie out of season. Women are by no
means the only t-ransgressors in this
way. Men are often as extravaga1t
as their wives, when the affair of *.
penditure concerns clothing.

wasting money on soda water and
chocolate creams, cut down, too. the
masculine folly of cigars and cigar.

indulgences In the savings bank and
you will soon have a margin for the
rainy day.
AVOID running accounts. They are
perfectly safe and a very great o
venience If ones income is fixed and
large. II it be on the other hand,
small and uncertain, there is no sense
in buying what one cannot at the mo-
ment pay for. Trades-people charge

should he stop to compute the inter
est he pays for the accommodation
given him by the butcher or the baker
who civilly waits so or 90 days for
the settlement of a bill that would
better have been paid, at the latest,
each Saturday night.
Everything depends after all on the
standard of living. One person may
live well and save on what is impos-
sible to another because the other has
not thought it woJth while to regard
the homely virtue of good manage
ment and the practice of wise econ

su,vlvai 81 Ancient Belief.

Il is an ancient belief that a mans
name has some mysterious sympathy
with his nature, whence arise such
stories as that OF Rumpelstiltskin,
whose power over a human being
vanlshes the moment that his name
ST pronounced aloud. 1t has been
suggested, with some show OF reason,
that the modern practice of nam
ing" a refractory member Of the
house Of commons is merely a sur
vival of this belief, which our Morse
ancestors brought into England.-St

as you may. some work is necessary
in the kitchen so long as campers
keep up the habit Of getting hungry.
There is a good living room and a
good kitchen in this house and there
are four bedrooms which are all light
and airy and they are big enough for
the purpose. Each door and each win
dow is protected with a good fly
screen, so the windows may all be
left open and the inmates not suffer
from the attentions OF mosquitoes or
other insects. For some reason mo-
squitoes seem to have a special grudge
against campers. They will swarm
about strangers when the natives are
luumoiested.

Jail Inspection So Far.

Dr. Shirley Bragg is very much of the opinion that the jails of Alabama are going to get into trouble with him. He has not been specially pleased with what he has seen so far and said that he was going to condemn one prison examined that report had him saying rather fatter- ing things of He said that in this jail there were four or five times the num- Der of prisoners inside that should be in and that the sanitary conditions were not at all satisfactory.
 There is to be no splitting of hairs on this question: Every jail will have to coaAe up to standard or be given bad report and a bad report not followed up by relieved conditions gives the jail in- speetor right to remove the prisoners.
 So far as he has been able to see the cotton mills are well ventilated and well kept, though in many cases they are not well located from a sanitary point of view. Most of the mills are on fan venti- laton and thus keep the air pure and dry pr. Bragg thinks that the law should be so that every child found in a mill under age should be taken out and the parent who allowed it to go in SC. Verely punished.
