It Takes a Cool Head.

Iced drinks and chilled foods are
pleasant and welcome in hot weather,
but they contribute practically little or
nothing toward keeping the body cool
and comfortable.
The more water one drinks in hot
weather the more comfortable one will
be, irrespective of perspiration. 1t is
noticeable that people who strive to
avoid perspiring as social offense SUI
fer most from hot weather.
Fat folks feel the heat more than thin
ones, in moderately warm and moder-
ately humid weather. But when the
temperature and the humidity are both
extremely high, then the fat folks have
an advantage over ordinary persons, for
their greater mass Of flesh does not
overhead so soon and they can keep a
great storage Of water in their tissues.
1t is the dehydration Of the tissues OF
the skinny person that explains his ex-
IRENE discomfort in very hot and
humid weather.
Thin folks should not only drink
more water, but they should try to con-
sumo more salt in very hot weather.
Everybody should ease down on the
consumption of protein food. no matter
whether of animal or vegetable origin,
and no matter whether the food is
taken cold or hot, in extremely hot
weather. At the same time everybody
should make adventures in the fruit
and vegetable menus when the weather
is oppressively warm. Fresh fruits,
fresh vegetables, green's, relisheS. cooked
or raw, should be an important If not
the chief part Of most meals in the dog
days
AS rule the total quantity Of food
taken in the day should be decreased in
hot weather, mainly in the protein
items-such as lean meat, egg, cheese.
At this season of year it is a good
plan to revise the old way, IL you still
adhere to it, and make the main meal
the evening meal instead of the mid
day meal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 16, 1881.-The Union Army,
under Gen. Mcdowell. approximately
$4,000 strong, began its long-expected
forward movement from Washington
and vicinity southwark into Virginia
this afternoon. The numerous COM
panies of Regulars near Arlington
House. comprising Infantry, Cavalry and
Artillery. struck their tents and formed
into column soon after IL o'clock.
They did not surpass in promptness
Of movement and military enthusiasm
the New York 9Th, which also rapidly
formed and marched. leaving its tents
on the ground in the charge of a
guard. The 14th New York (Brooklyn)
Regiment was also part of the column
which formed on the road at the foot
Of Arlington Heights, with the Regulars
In front.
The scene from the Virginia hills in
the neighborhood Of the Toll Gate was
very inspiring. Looking toward Wash
ington, one could see regiment after
regiment coming across the Long
Bridge, their arms cleaning In the sun.
On the left the column from Arlington
was approaching with its rear lost in
the distance.
The two columns, coming from both
directions, joined at the Toll Gate and
each took its place in the line and con-
tinued marching southwark. Cheer
after cheer was heard as the regiments
greeted one another. This, with the
martial music and the sharp commands
of the officers. made a combination of
sound that was very gratifying to all
loyal Union men and women.
It was about 5 o'clock this afternoon
that the De Kalb Regiment, the last
from the Washington side of the
Potomac River. crossed the Long Bridge
and was greeted with loud cheers by
the men of the 2lst New York Regi-
ment, stationed at Fort Runyon. The
De Kalb Regiment, with the company
of Turcos in front, presented splendid
appearance, every man looking as If he
had been made to be a soldier. The
regiment was accompanied by vivan-
dieres, and was followed by long
wagon train, with camp equipment,
baggage, etc.
The whole Army was in high spirits.
The men showed their enthusiasm by
the elasticity of their step, their jokes
and their boyish abandon. Only one
class of men was low-spirited. These
were the troops left behind to guard
the Notifications close TO Washington.
They were loud in their murmurs be-
cause they were not permitted to join
in the advance movement.
There were rumors here tonight that
the Confederate general, Beauregard,
has abandoned Fairfax Court House.

Home in Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND.

For some time now clear mirror glass
has been gaining in popularity. 1t has
been used for mirror frames, table tops,
insets for the decoration of boxes. lamp
bases and picture frames. But now we
have the greater novelty Of colored mir
ror glass and so fascinating is it that
it will soon be bought by every one de-
sirous of adding something unique in
his home.
In the illustration is shown a table
which would be delifhtful in sunroom.

The base is of wrought iron and the top
is of colored mirror glass--a combina-
ton which would be very appropriate
for room of this type.
The colors in which this glass Is made
are green, amber, ruby, gold, cobalt blue
and azure blue, so you can see that, re-
CARELESS of your color scheme. it would
not be difficult to find shade to har-
monize with it.
The edges Of the glass tops are bev-
eled and the backs are covered with
felt.
For smoking tables or tables for re-
freshments this type would be ideal,
for the surface cannot be injured by
anything that is dropped on 1t.

Baked Sweet Potatoes.

This is probably the most wholesome
way of cooking sweet potatoes, as some
sweetness is lost when they are steamed
or boiled. Choose smooth. sound pota-
toes. Wash them well and place in a
pan in a moderate oven and bake.
When the potatoes are soft throughout
they are done If they are liked very
moist and sweet bake them slowly.
