in EXTREME HOT WEATHER
Fish, Birds and Animals All Suffer by
the Heat Just as Men Do.

Humans" said nature lover
ARE by no means the only sufferers
from intense summer heat; there are
plenty of lower creatures that suffer.
Fish, for instance, are oppressed
by the heat just as men are, and if
they can't find shelter from it they
may be killed by it. In shallow fresh
water ponds fish sometimes die by
the hundred, killed by the excessive
heat Of the water, warmed beyond
their endurance by the beating sun.
''In streams fish seek the shady
stretches and the deep places and the
spring holes where they can keep
cool, and in salt water fish go away
from the shallow overheated water
close to shore and seek the cooler
depths.
Birds suffer in the same way, OPP
pressed by extreme heat, and how
they do welcome chance to get cool!
Look at the sparrows in the city's
streets when the sprinkling cart goes
by leaving in the hollows of the pave
ment little pools of water that will
serve them for bathing places. How
eagerly the sparrow seeks this bath,
and it will battle, IL it gets the
chance. dozen times day.
''It is just the same with domestic
fowls. Extreme hot weather dis
tresses them greatly; at such time
you can see chickens with their beaks
omen and fairly nantinp with the heat
and then they want plenty of water.
Cows? OF course. On the very
hot days they seek the trees If there
are any in the pasture lot, to stand
in the shade of them, and then If
they are bothered by flies the COWS
seek shaded pools or brooks to stand
in them in water up to their bellies
or deeper to escape the flies and for
cooling refreshment. How horses and
dogs suffer with intense heat every
body knows.-New York Sun.

WOMEN RUIN THEIR FIGURES.
Hugh Gains, the Boston sculptor,
declares that women's figures have
been ruined by devotion to fashion.
He says it is impossible for a wom-
an to be wasp-waisted one. year and
free-laced the next and still preserve
artistic lines. He points out that
a year or SO ago women were pinch
ing their waists, and that at pres.
ent frocks hang loose with hardly a
suggestion of waist line. Gains Ger.
tainly hits the truth when The says
the fashions this summer are in exc.
cradle taste. Slim women are made
to look like toothpicks and plump
women are made to look twice their
natural size. NThe slim women can
stand it, the plump women can't, and
true to the contrariness Of the sex.
it is the woman of comfortable avoir-
dupois who pushes the fashions to
the extreme Thus every woman
above the normal weight for her
height could. gain in proportion by
breaking her waist with a belt, but
invariably they run straight up and
down, thereby accentuating the full
ness, which secretly, of course, they
hate like poison The failure in this
respect of women to make the most
of themselves forces the impression
that the sex contains few artists

ON THE WAY.
We are moving to the country and
our brand new bungalow;
We've finished with the packing and
are ready now to go.
We've taken the canary and the par
rot and the cat,
And we're all of us delighted to be
done with that old fiat!
We have feft the city racket and the
turmoil and the heat,
And we're glad to say adieu to both
the building and the street.
The van mans gone before US and
we're speeding on our way;
Wen eat our humble supper at the
bungalow today!
LATER.
We have been here most fortnight
in this God-forsaken spot!
The roads are something awful, and,
my eye, but amt it hot!
There's hardly any water and there
isn't any gas;
The dooryard's full of mortar, but
there's not blade of grass.
We haven't any neighbors and we're
broiling in the glare,
And the silence is so awful that it's
more than we can bear.
The parrots most unhappy, and so
likewise Is the cat,
And we're all of us just pining for
the old. delightful flat!.

BOILED SALMON,

Choose piece from the middle Of
the fish. Place it in fish kettle OF
boiling water to which tablespoon
ful of salt has been allowed to each
quart Of water.
Placing the fish in the water lowers
the temperature to below the boiling
point, and this lower temperature
the water should be kept while the
fish is being cooked.
Allow eight minutes for each pound
of fish, and an extra eight minutes
besides. If the piece is very large
and thick, quarter OF an hour
should be allowed in addition to the
regulation eight minutes per pound.
Remove the scum before lifting out
the fish from the water.
Place the salmon on a large dish
garnished with few slices of cucum.
Der. and squeeze over the fish the
juice of half lemon.
Serve with the following sauce:
Blend two tablespoonfuls of butter
and two tablespoonfuls of flour in

Stir till boiling then add two heap

SERVANTS AND THE SUFFRAGE.

There is not the least excitement
in Germany over the strenuous doings
of the scrappy suffragists in England.
Repeated attempts have been made in
Berlin and other German cities to
awaken interest in equal suffrage, but
the German women refuse to take the
subject seriously. They are satisfied
to leave the turmoil of politics to
their husbands while they reign in
the homes. One practical argument
has been advanced: 1t lis that the
servant9Grl question will become
more than serious If the ballot is
granted to women. The German idea
is that woman who. votes will not
be content to work as a servant, and
will demand legislation for her own
social uplifting. There may be truth
at the bottom of this strange theory.
In fact, truth in it already has been
demonstrated in England, where SER
wants who have joined the suffragists
insist they are the equal of their mis-
tresses. OF course, when this situa.
tion arises there is trouble forth.

FOR WORLDS BATTLE.

The very best postgraduate course
that any girl could be given, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Bulletin,
would be year in her fathers Office,
and if every girl could have that edu-
cation we should not have to shed so
many tears over the misfortune OF
middle-aged women who have been
robbed of their all by men who be-
guile them into investing in schemes
that should not have taken in a baby.
The son of family is safeguarded
against want by being taught some
sort of trade by which he can sup
port himself. The majority of girls
are not. We take long shot at
their marrying. Sometimes they do
and sometimes they don't, but even
If they do marry it is no guaranty
against want. Not every man who
marries is capable of supporting a
wife and even if he is, men fall
sick, or die, and often woman is
suddenly confronted with the neces-
sfty of not only earning bread and
butter for herself, but for the invalid
husband and houseful OF children,
when she has been taught no way on
earth of making a penny.
Even if a girl does marry, her
mother seldom takes the trouble to
prepare her for it. Yet every wom-
an knows that happiness and success
in matrimony depend mainly upon
the wife knowing her business. being
a good manager, good housekeeper,
good cook No father sets his son
to practice law or medicine with
out having studied the science of 1t,
yet mother will let her daughter
marry without having taught her the
first thing about how to run a home.
1t isn't fair, it isn't just, it isn't
kind to send poor. little helpless
girl out into the world to ruin her
chances of happiness and success
through Ignorance. She needs all the
help she can get, and it's up to her
parents to give it to her.

JEFF Daggett, rising forty years old,
and setting up for learned man, and
drawing pay from the town for being
supervisor of schools, and never once
thought of doing it that way.

threat-"I'n tell this round all over

Whether the threat had anything
to do with it or not, it is certain
that the supervisor did reconsider his
decision. T.
"Come to think it all over,' he
said, II rather guess that, by study
ing up. you can keep ahead of the
