There are several varieties Of irons:
The old fashioned fiatirons with han
dies attached are the best to hold the
heat, but are rather .unwieldy, as they
must be used with cloths to prevent
burning the hands. The patent irons
which have the detachable wooden
handles are easier on the hands, but do
not retain the heat as we'll. There are
other irons especially used for fluting
and frilling, but these are unnecessary
in the ordinary household. Wax balls
should be kept on hand to grease the
irons.

How to 90 to Sleep.


A man should make his toilet as care
fully for going to bed as for the bust"
ness of the day.
Certain physical things are conducive
to sleep, such as plenty Of sweet, out
door air, the absence of noises, of
lights and Of bad odors and, above all,
feeling Of tiredness.
There are also certain mental and
spiritual preparations.
To be intensely interested in any.
thing Is fatal to sleep: 80 also are the
memory of a ranking failure. plan
making. problem solving, apprehension,
shame and remorse.
The soul must take OF its interested.
ness as the body must remove it's vest
ments
Passions of any kind, craving and all
heats are against sleep.
One is very fortunate who has hab.
1t Of prayer, for there is nothing can
still the soul like purging the con.
science before God. and cares, pricklng
annoyances, breads and all mental ten.
sions can be remedied in no way more
satisfactorily than by letting the con
seriousness of God wash the soul.
A sense Of friendliness and peace to-
ward the infinite is the surest medicine
for sleep.

SUMMER MIsHAPs.

How 70 Relieve stinss and oprains
Which Come With Outing Days.
Insect. stings are among the most
uncomfortable Of the minor mishaps
which befall the seeker for summer
pleasure. Even mosquito bites some
time prove really bothersome. If they
are treated with applications Of am
monia before they are scratched much
Of the unpleasant sting and burning
will leave them. II they have been
scratched so that the skin is broken
the ammonia will burn perhaps more
severely than the bite does. Salt and
water Is another good remedy for mos
quito bites.
St1ngs and bites Of other insects are
even more uncomfortable to bear than
those of mosquitoes, but those of the
insects In temperate climes are seldom
dangerous, and unless they are In the
throat or mouth they do not need the
attention of physician. If, however,
bee has concealed himself in a peach
or other fruit and with a bite of the
fruit reaches the throat, there to stop
and apply his sting, it is we'll to call q
physician. Such sting sometimes
produces painful and troublesome
swelling Gargle with water and salt
or boracic acid until the physician
comes.
The treatment of bee and wasp
stings is similar: The bee leaves his
sting in the skin; the wasp takes it
with him. So the first thing to do to
counterfeit bee sting Is to press out
the sting with watchkey, If this Is
possible. Salt, soda, ammonia or any
other alkal1 should be sopped on the
stung surface frequently until the
sting1ng sensation has stopped. The
old method of applying wet earth to a
bee sting surely does bring relief to
the sufferer. and II nothing else Ii at
hand mud should be- applied. But

HOW TO USE A

when friend noticed the large

calendar, with black figures an
inch and a half large, which her
husband brought from his Office.
On the squares Of the dates she
marked each day the ice deliv-
cry, whether ten or fifteen
cent piece, the number of bottles
OF milk and dates for guests or

Benjamin Franklin.

An artistic and economical as well
as indestructible picture book for Z.
baby may be made Of Japanese grass
cloth. This material, which may be
obtained from any large wall paper
concern, is very inexpensive, comes in,
beautiful colors and will undergo. the
rougher sort of handling without
tearing. 1t is a great Improvement
upon the old fashioned stiffened linen
books for children, which were 80
hopelessly ugly. -.
Choose soft green or dull blue
grass cloth and cut it into pieces dou-
BILE the size Of the page you intend to
make. The material is yard wide.
and yard will make six or even an
eight page book If the pages are not
large. Larger leaves, however, make
a more attractive book. Fold each
piece over and paste the two inside
surfaces together, bringing the fold
at the outer edge Of the page and the
cut edge at the binding side. If pre-
ferred the pages may be simply fold
ed and not pasted, similarly to the old
linen books, but pasting them together
makes the book little flrmer.
When the pages are cut, pasted and
evenly trimmed the pictures should be
pasted In. Choose beautiful pictures.
in soft colors blending with the back
ground. Even little child's eye can
be trained to appreciate good pictures
rather than the gaudy, high colored
ones so often given them. Do not
paste pictures in zigzag or many on a
page. Indeed. one picture on each
page we'll proportioned to the size Of
the leaf is best Such a book given
to baby last Christmas was made
up of series Of child pictures which
had been cut from a magazine. The
head and tail pieces were pasted In
an attractive design on the cover, and
the entire book was charming.
When the pages are finished bind
them together at the left edge with
raffia Of harmonizing shade drawn
through three holes and tied In bow.

Newport, Aug. 20.-That com

here, today. when NJ, l.. Mclaughlin
and 7. c. Bundy, national doubles
champions, successfully defended theii,
title against the attack of j. r. Stra

their youthful rivals in straight sets
by scores of Ga, 10, 6-1, and even
gin of victory always in the hands
of the older and more experienced
players.
The match, which was the first Of
the national championship of the S3rd
annual tournament of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Asso-

court and attracted gallery which in
point of number and brillElncy sur
passed all records for Casino courts.
Almost every member of the Newport
summer colony was present and the
vari hued costumes formed a striking
background to the green turf upon
which the white clad player matched
skill and stamina. The challengers be-
cause of their youthful appearance
had the encouragement of the spec
tators when they came on the courts
