Some people in the community feel slighted when a correspondent writes up the items and does not say anything about them, especially when they have been visiting or in turn received visi tors. When people are too confound ed careless to open their mouths and j make the facts known they deserve ! not only to be slighted, but should be | turned down in the bargain. People j should not think that we gather news ; by hanging out on the gate post or j by hanging on the fence corners along the public highway.—Ex. Made Nests of Hundreds of Dollars. Farmer Jared Wilcox, of Lynn, Susquehanna county, recently became suspicious of banks, and withdrawing §9OO, placed it in a stocking, which he hid in a trunk in the attic of his house. He had occasion to use some money on Wednesday, and upon going to the trunk he found that mice had made a away with the notes. He will send the remnants to the redemption bureau at Washington, hoping to secure redress. How You May Keep Your House Cool. "Many things can be done to make even the Rmall house a confortable, restful place in hot weather," writes Maria Parola in The Ladies' Homo Journal for August. "Of course, the windows must be properly shaded with blinds or awnings, and also well screened. All the heavy hangings should be removed, and when possible the carpets should be taken up or covered with linen. Cool colors, such as white, gray, light greens and blues, should take the place of the warmer colors. Thin whits muslin curtains soften the light. The house should be well aired and sunned at least once a da3'. The early morning is best for this. Open all the windows and blinds and let tho tun and air pour through the house. About 9 o'clock close tho blinds and all the windows, except one or two downstairs and two or three upstairs. In tho open windows place wet grans screens, or cover the regular j screens with wet flannel. When the sun goes down open all the windows and blinds. A skylight or window should be kept open night and day in | the attic, except, of course, when it j raius. The cellar windows should be I open only at night. If they are not j closed during the heat of the day the warm, moisture-laden air entsra the ! cellar and condenses on walls, pipes, ; metals, etc., and in a few days will ! make it damp. An exchange says it cost people of j the United States $225,000,000 annually ; for getting born, $3,000,000,000 for get ting married, $75,000,000,000 for getting hurried and $1,522,000,000 for getting 1 drunk.
