INFANTS IN SUMMER. They He«|ulre Mure I'M re Then anil Caimr More Worry Thitn at Any Other Time of Year. We are apt to think of summer as the •ea&on of life and growth and of win ter as the season of natural (le&tu and the dearth of life. the opposite is the case. Thft ro*c of mortality among little children and in all human life increases as the rays of the sun in crease in intensity. The chill breezes of winter and the cold mantle of snow, which purify the air with frost, are more kindly than the warm breezes of tuinmer, laden as they are with the germs of disease arising from decay ing animal and vegetable matter. Infant children require special care In summer. The dangers to infancy which arise from summer heat are more than doubled when the little one is fed artificially. It is clearly the mother's duty, where the milk from her breast is sufficient, to nurse her child. Exer cise in abundant fresh air and good, plain, but wholesome food, which will keep the mother in health, will keep the milk in good condition, under nor mal circumstances, until the child is nine or ten months old. At about this time the milk, according to the best authorities, usually begins to deteri orate. Much, however, depends upon circumstances. No mother stiould wean a baby at the beginning of hot weather, unless she is absolutely com pelled to do oD. It is never wise to dis turb ty.e digestion of a nursing baby byt making any change in its food, or by giving it any additional food to that which it is accustomed to, in July, Au gust, or even in September. If the child is well, the early spring m<*nths long before the hot weather comes is • good time to make a change from the food nature has provided to arti- Ticjal food. Do not wean a child sud denly. Accustom it gradually to being fed with artificial food. Try a differ ent preparation of milk if the first does not agree with the little one. Xo one food agrees with all babies. What agrees with one baby will not neces sarily agree with others. When the proper food is obtained do not make any changes until the child has teeth enough to be fed more substantial food than milk. Tt is better to begin at the beginning and f< ed a child that is be ing gradually weaned with a spoon. Do not use a bottle unless it is positively necessary.—X. V. Tribune. DAINTY LITTLE DRESS. Something for the Yonniceitt Sinter to W ear When She Cioe* \ ittitinjf In the Afternoon. For and for play occasions the liteiglit-year-old girl can have a clMice of dresses. The summer ging hams, mulls, lawns, ducks and cham brays are so numerous that a ,vide va riety is offered her. But for a ince LITTLE GIRL S VISITING GOWN, dress which shall be inexpensive, there is not so great a variety. One of the prettiest "nice" dresses was worn at a children's carnival at Narragansett the other day. The little dress was of summer wash silk— cream color with figures in pale yellow. It was made with a round skirt,full blouse and low cut neck. The yoke of this dress was of pale yellow wash silk, put on separately from the dress. The skirt of the dress and the yoke had h broad plaiting of ribbon in yel low to match the dots upon the dress. The ribbon was made in double box plaits and sewed around the skirt plain. The little maid wore a hat of cream colored straw, edged with puffed rib bon, and at the back stood a big bow of black velvet to match her belt and shoes and stockings. To plait ribbon so it will be suitable for a dress trimming, buy wide ribbon, double box plait it, and sew through the middle. Fasten upon a ribbon band btml take off when the dress is laun dered.

PRETTY WORK-CASE. ■ low ii n (till Shoe May He Trannfurined lulu n I)nlnt> anil Ineful lluuilulr Article. It is surprising what a number of use ful articles can be made out of objects that we generally discard and regard as altogether useless. Many are the things that are thus thrown aside, and it denotes the careful housekeeper or the handy person who can turn to good account articles which are usually the prey of the junkman. In every house there are bound to be several old shoes lying about in corners and cupboards, and these, by a pair of clever hands, can be metamorphosed into something that serves at the same time for use and ornament. A lady's workcase made out of an old shoe sounds rather funny, but anyone following the directions here given for making such a case will be astonished and delighted at the result. Take the shoe and remove with a sharp knife all the upper except that A CHARMING WORK CASE. portion at the end known as the toecap Then trim very carefully with the knife or with a sharp pair of scissors the rough free edge of the toecap until you have the projecting edge quite smooth. Next, stand the shoe on a piece oi cardboard and mark the outline in pen cil. This is to be cut out, as is also an other piece of exactly the same size. Kach piec* thus obtained is placed one inside and one outside the shoe, and the whole covered very neatly with som« pretty material, velvet or satin pre ferred, the stitched side being turned under. Cut out some pieces of fianne: to put needles in, and sew them to th« front of the shoe, just under the ribbou bow shown in the illustration. >'ow for the toe. Cut a piece of papej like the toe of your shoe, see that it has the vjardboard sole, and then use it foi a pattern to cut th* cardboard with. You will orily need one piece, and this is to be covered with material to match flie sole, lined neatly and sewn to the sole. A pretty cord is tiien to be sewn riglil around the edge of the shoe, a loop left to hang it up by, and a ribbon bow tied in the middle of the shoe. Put scissors and cotton in the pockets, needles in the flannel and pins in the top, just under the hanging loop, and you have a workcase that will not dis grace any room.—X. V. Herald. Caootl l.ookH mill Health. The secret of beauty is health. Those who desire to be beautiful should do all they can to restore their health if they hitve lost it, or keep it if they have it still. It is impossible for anyone to lay down specific rules for other people in these matters. The work which one may do, the rest, exercise, baths, are matters for individual consideration, but none the less they must all be carefully thought of and never neglected. As a rule, when a person feels well, he looks well; when he feels ill, he looks ill. There are times when one can guess without looking in the glass that the eyes are dull and the skin is mottled. This is not a case for any external application, for, to have a fresh complexion and bright eyes, even to have white hands and a graceful figure, you must be well. Health and the happiness which comes from it are the true secrets of beauty.— N. Y. Ledger. Keep a l.onu Neck Covered, No-thing so positively stamps a bod ice with the hall-mark of good work as its having not only the neck finish that is in harmony with the other trim ming, but also that one which is becom ing to the weari r. The woman with the extremely long throat emulates the courage of the beautiful princess of Wales, and never allows herself to wear a frock cut low in the neck. The woman With a short, full throat may have her gown cut a little low and finished with a frill, if that style is suited to the gown; and if it is not, she will have a semi-high arrangement about the throat, which, while it gives the proper effect, will not make her look thick throated.—N. V. Ledger. lleuil Toward tlie KIIKIIIC. Those who wish to avoid catching cold when sleeping in a Sleeping cai should have their berths made up so that their heads will be toward the engine. This is because the drafts is a moving train are always from front to rear, and when your head is toward the engine you are better protected, while getting as much fresh air aa though you were in the other position. In hot summer weather those w ho sleep with "head on" can with perfect safety have a screen put under the 112 ash at the foot of the berth, and thereby enjoy a constant supply of cool,(inbreathed air, I»n lin in try in Chlnn.

Many houses have no shade tree* rear them, and a piazza or veranda is tlmost a necessity in the summer. A permanent porch, deep enough to fori i the necessary shade in summer, is objectionable in the winter, as it shuts out the light that is then needed. Besides all this, the expense in build ing a permanent veranda is beyond the reach ol many, and altogether un necessary in any case. The illustra tion shows how to make a summer veranda that has all the advantages FARMHOUSE PIAZZA. of the expensive permanent piazza and avoids the disadvantages in the win ter. The expense is so small that everyone can afford it. Build a platform or floor of length and width desired, with or without tailing. Over this at the proper height construct o light frame to be cov ered with striped awning goods. The frame should be of same length and width as floor or platform, or larger. In many cases the awning and plat form should cover the whole front or tide of the building. The frame should be attached to trie building by screws, so that it can be taken down in win ter. Or it can be attached with hinges and made to elevate and drop, same as awnings over windows. The frame is made of iight strips of wood, and can be braced from side to side with small wires secured to the house by small screw eyelets. The awning should be carefully taken down in the full and put away for the winter. It must be properly fastened to the frame by small, large-headed tricks to prevent it from tearing in the wind.—Ohio Farmer. SEEDING IN THE FALL. I'luu liitf Should He Done UN Slum m I*oNNll»le After the Harvest Work IK Completed. If grass or clover is to be sown in the fell it is very essential to prepare the ground in a good condition in good sea «on in order that Ihe seeding maybe done early. Usually unless the seeding can be done sufficiently early so that the plants can secure a thrifty, vigor ous start to grow and get reasonably well established before cold weather sets in it is rather poor economy to sow the seed. One of Ihe worst diffi culties or objections to fall seeding is the lack of moisture in the soil. With all seed a certain amount of moisture is essentia] to the securing of a good germination and a vigorous start to grow, and it is always an item to sow the seed under as favorable conditions us possible. One advantage in plowing the ground reasonably early, taking pains to plow deep and thorough and then making the surface a good tilth, is that the line soil on the surface acts as a mulch and adds materially in retain ing moisture in tlie scil. And with grass and clover it is often possible to secure a good germination and a good, even stand on land plowed and pre pared in a good tilth early, when, if left until the ground gets dry, there will not be sufficient moisture to in duce germination. As with nearly or quite all other farm work, if seeding is to be done in the fall fields to be sown should be determined in good season, so that the flowing may be done as soon as possi ble after the liar* est work is done. Get (he ground in a good condition to re ceive the seed, and a better opportuni ty for securing a good stand is af forded, and if the plants are able to make a good start to grow in the fall they will be better able to stand the thawing and freezing of winter.—N.

Jamie has a biz sister —a blooming, bound ing destroyer of hearts, and the principal of Jaime's school used to call on her. He came one evening, just before the close of the hist term, and wore rubber overshoes. He al ways was afraid of catching cold. He left these shoe protectors in the liall. Jamie, by no means sure of passing from seventh into eighth grade, was conning his geography— from necessity, uot choice, and he saw those goloshes. So he got the tack hammer and two tacks and nailed through the rubber soles into the floor. When .Mr. Principal departed an hour later Jamie was watching him. Mr. Princi- j pal, still smiling on the big sister, inserted i nis feet in his rubbers —and then he braided [ himself up in the most amazing fall that ever an educated man accomplished. The ] big girl picked him up and extracted him from his stationary footwear, but she was j shaking with laughter. Next day Jnmie, sweet seraph, drifted past | the principal's desk with a look of angelic innocence on his chubby face. He paused a moment. "Who called you?" asked the petulant principal. "The kids called me. They called me j 'rubbers!' Say, Mr. Soandson, do I pass?" ; And the eves of the two met for one tense moment. Then the principal surrendered. "Yes —you pass!" he snapped. If he had said "no" he would have dodged to the end of his days every time he heard a boy cry "rubbers!" And .Tamie was honc«t about it.
