How TO KEEP CooL.-A correspondent

"In these hot days a cool apartment is a
real luxury, to be had far oftener than most
people suppose possible. The secret consists
not in letting In cool air, Tor naturally all dc
that whenever they can get chance, but in
keeping out the hot air. If the air outside a
room or hOnse be cooler than the ala inside


let it in by all means; but if it be hotter, care

THE News OF LORD LIVERPOOL IS ILLNESS
was conveyed to George w. by Sir Robert
Peel, who was then Home Secretary, and the
King was so much distressed that in the mid
die OF the night he summoned Peel TO his bed
side without giving him time TO dress. When
Peel appeared, the King began to dwell on
the difficulties of mis- position, declared that it
was almost hopeless, vowed fidelity to Peel,
embraced him warmly and wept on his shoul-
der, then suddenly broke Off and exclaimed
"Peel, who made your dressing gown2" The
happy diversion to the Kings tavorite subject
OF tailoring removed all political apprehen-
sOns; he showed Peel what dressing-gown
ought 10 be, made Peel try on one of his own
and inspect himself in looking-glass, and
then kept Peel by his bedside listening to q
String OF anecdotes on that agreeable subject.
Having thus talked himself into good spirits,
the KING took an afiectIonate leave OF Peel,
let him go to bed again, and in the morning
sent Tor Canning.-Lye Of Young.

A great deal is written about the i'm
portance oftraining our daughters to be
experienced cooks, whatever their posi-
ton in life is likely to be. And that
usually means, we should teach them to
prepare a great many curious dishes in
most marvellous way, requirin5 un-
limited time and patience, not to men
ton very generous supplies of ingredi-
ents.


Now, it may be very valuable at times
to know all about these curious made
dishes, but for every day use. it would
be we'll for us to tone down our own
children's tastes. We should strive to
give them taste for simple dishes pre-
pared to perfection, rather than for
elaborate, highly seasoned ones.


Skill in simple cookery IS one OF the
finest and most useful accomplishments
a young lady can have Let her grad
uate in the art of bread-making, taxing
in the whole department. Nothing con
duces more to the health Of household
than good bread,a every family likes
a variety in this article. She has here
wide range for her ingenuity.


Simple mashed potatoes, nicely seasoned
with salt and pepper, are much better
and more wholesome than raw potatoes
pared round and round, like shayings,
and boiled in lard until they are brown
and crisp. They may not look quite so
fancitul, bnt l think any hungry man
would prefer the mashed potatoes. Let
the girls learn to cook well-not to
drown the peas in too much water, nor
to take up the greens when they are
dark and poisonous looking; nor to set
on potatoes when they are watery and
half cooked, nor beetsteak which has
soaked half an hour in lukewarm fat.
Let them learn to cook all these simple
things perfectly, and then it will be time
enough for fancy dishes.


Oh. there is such world of comfort
around tables where simple things arc
done well. Children grow upwith whole
some tastes that no after years of luxu-
rious dissipation can wholly root out
They will have sounder bodies and more
vigorous constitutions than the children
of luxury, and will escape many tempta-
tions which highly seasoned dishes are
apt to lead them into.

WAIT-Wait, husband. before you

wrestled hand in hand with care, and
seltishness, and greed, and all the de-

making. Let home be another atmos-

can find peace and quiet, and perfect

All despair not when life seems hard
and dreary by and by the shadows will
fall apart-the fetters that bind Us Will
be dissevered-the burden be removed,
the tired hands be folded, aud sleep, with
her healing wings shall hover over us,
