Hint Tor Hot Weather.
A hint comes from India which if
worth filing away fot use when the hot
luiiuuiir days come. Lassitude and
lose of appetite are onions firs'
evidences of tho effect of the sun'
heat upon the body, nuJ in hot
weather many persons who never have
had Bucetroko oro ilcbilitat ed by whnt
might fairly be called tun fatigue,
which although not serious, render?
work of every kind ranch more labor
ious than it would otherwise lea. The
influence of the sun vrie9 enormously
on diflerent individuals, some of whom
have to take special precautions in
order to be able to resist it. A spinal
pad is used by soldiers in many
tropical countries. It arrests the
light, which often works such injury,
but it is uncomfortably hot, and soon
becomes objectionable from its absorp
tion of perspiration. According to ft
royal engineer, who is stationed in
India, the boon and blessing beyond
compare to those who have to spend
part of their lives under a tropical
sunlight is an ornnge-colored shirt.
Ho declared thut he frequently fell
sick after duty in the sun until he
treated himself as a photographie
censitive plate and surrounded his
body with yellow light. AU clothing,
however thick, allow certain rays to
pass, and although thick clothing
wou'd arrest all the injurious elements
of sunlight, it would interfere with
the escape of bodily heat. Tho yellow
shirt, for sensitive pcoplo who ore
much in hot sunlight, is an excellent
protection, only inferior to that
simplest and best of all Indian protective-,
a white umbrella, which has
not yet been widely used in this coun
try. Chicago Record.

THK BANOLV HAS HEArrBsRKD,
One of the feotnres of this yoar's
fashion in jewelry is that tho bangle
has reappeared. But tho now bangle
is very different from the old. It
came into fashion along with tho elbow
sleeve now so much in vogno, and is a
flexible aflair, comfortable to the arm
and entirely unlike the stiff bangle of
a few years ago. There are on view a
variety of these new bangles. They
consist of a narrow flexible (rold band,
sot with jewels, alternating with one
another. Six to eight gems are used,
and the effect is very boautiful.

Attention has been recently drawn
by Sir William Flower to a despicable
frand perpetrated on the more humane
of tho fair sex. The outcry against
the destruction of the egret iu order
to supply plumes for ladies' hats was
apparently lending to some decrease
iu the domand, a condition of things
which did not suit tho trader. La
dies, therefore, who had any conscien
tious scruples were assured that the
plumes were not real egret's feathers,
but manufactured. Sir William Flow

FOB WOMEN PAST THEIR YOUTH.
It is now a generally admitted fact
that women who havo passod their
youth can appropriately and becom
ingly wear white on dressy occasions.
Black whs lon -and mistakenly be
lieved to be the only reilly suitable
wear for women past forty, but this
error bos been removed. Dull-black
gowns deepen the lines of the faces,
and darken the complexions of those
who are not absolutely fair ; indeed,
mourning attire is frequently found
most unbecoming to blondes, and al
though wholly white gowns are not al
ways suitable, a relief in white is gen
erally possible, und subdued colors
should bo chosen in place of black.
The Duchess of Devonshire, though a
grandmother of long staadina, is par
ticularly fond of white gowns of tnauy
aitlereut kinds, and an American lady
who recently saw her at a fashionable
gathering in London writes that she
looked extremely well in a gown of
cream-white silk canvas over orchid
colored taffeta silk. She carried a
parasol of white crepe de Chine lined
with the same silk, and the small white
bonnet ou her head was fastened with
narrow velvet ribbon and trimmed
with pansies aud one bcautilul orchid.

sleeves are finished by a turned-back
cuff of the brocade, and rutlles of em

FASHION NOTES.
In fabrics for evening wear the cling
ing staff j bid fair to have this season
for thoir own. Crepe de chino is to
be worn not only by "buds" but by
women of all ages.
Very fine handkerchiefs, boasting
no embroidery save an initial and
with the narrowest hemstitched edge,
are considered more correct than
elaborate desigus.
Cashmere comes back again with a
flourish of trumpets. .It is woven wilh
a silk woof, and is exquisitely soft and
shimmering. It will be used exten
sively for iudoor gowns.
Cravenette grows in favor for
cycling and utility costumes geuerally.
It is waterproof aud at the came time
devoid of the nnpleassut rubber odor
of most waterproof fabrics.
Silk dresses are trimmed with alter
nate rutlles of chiffon aud the silk.
This is very pretty in plain silk, and
when the skirt is made this way, the
bodice is covered with chiffon and
lace.
Now, when so many girls at the sea
shore are bewailing the fact that thoir
ostrich feathers are straight, it is of
value to know that whalebone will

A new material, which has the
shimmering effect most sought for at
present, ih moire velours. Uoffered
oriental satin, crinkled silks and silk
crepes, all of them soft and "drapery

Green, bottle green, hunter's green

to make way for the becoming jupe

a more moderate width.
White and cream laces and trim1

A Girl Snake Killer.
Miss Mabel Buttz, the sixteen-year-
old daughter ol Uhristian lsultz, a
farmer living near Belvidere, N. J.
has distinguished herself as a cham
pion snake kiber. Uer father's farm
is infested with snakes, and last sum
mer her little brother was bitten by a
copperhead pilot and almost died.
On Sunday Mabel was out near the
barn and opened tho door leading in
to tho threshing floor. She was horri
fied for a moment at seeing a number
of Bnakes lying fiat ou the Hour, evi
dently asleep. The creaking oi tho
door arouau.l them, and one of them
prepared to strike her. Qubk as a
Hash she closed the door aud secured
a long pole. Returning, she made war
on the reptiles, and soon had a half
dozen slain. One bolder than the rest
flew at her, and had it not been for
her dog, a big mastiff, it would no
doubt have sunk its tangs in her.
The dog caught the snake iu his
jaws and crushed the life out of it.
Miss Buttz was so overcome that she
fainted and was carried to the house.
Tho snakes were examined aud were
found to belong to the deadly copper

No rollers should bo used on furni
ture over polished lloors. Each part
which touches tho wood should bo
fitted wih a pieoe of thick felt scouro
ly glued on. This protects the floor
and allows easy movomont.
Thoso floors require only tho sweep
ing with a hair brush and tho wiping
wilh a dust mop or soft cloth.
Wax, alone, gives tho highest pol
ish J but is always tdippery. It should
he rubbed ou evenly. Any little bits
remaining will show as bl ink specks
after the polishing. The brush should
bo used across tho grain at first, after
ward with tho grain. Wax and tnr
pentiue furnish a loss degree of polish,
which is, therefore, less slippery,
whilo the additiou of paratlino oil
lessens it still more. If it bo desired
to keep tho floor very light the oil
mixture should not be used, for oil
always darkens wood.
Water is tho worst thing that can bo
appliod to any waxed surfaco. A
damp cloth may bo used. All spatters
or drops of any liquid should be wiped
up immediately. When spots come
as como thoy will rub them hard
with a piece ol thick felt under the
foot or with a fluunel moistened iu
turpentine.
Kemcmber to keep tho snrfaoe well
polished, then dirt cannot stick and
substances spilled cauuot rcaoh the
wood and make spots. With all theso
precautions the floors which aro con
stantly nscd will need an entire reno
vation occasionally. Thoy should
then be rubbed all over with steel
wool till every spot is scraped out. If
the wood has grown dark it may bo
whitonod by a wash ot oxalio acid.
Bub perfectly smooth aud clean before
applying the wax or other enoaustio.
A good encaustio which will clean
and polish at the same time may be
made from wax, sal coda and any good
soap. The wax aud soap should be
shaved and dissolved in boiling water..
Stir frequently aud add tho Boda. Put
the mixture in something which may
be closely covered and stir constantly

TJndonbtodly tho greatest losson for
railway managers in thin accident (the
ono near Atlantic) City, N. J.) is that
it is not safo to dispense with derail
ing switches at grade crossings. We
nro aware that somo railway officers
object that a derailment may cause at
serious results as a collision. It is
true that it may, bnt universal rail
road cxperieuoo shows that it vory
seldom docs.
It is to bo borne in mind always in
considering this question that the
moral eflectof tho derailing Bwitoh is
such that it compels obedience to the
warning of tho danger signals as no
rules or discipline that the best man
ager can enforce can possibly do. Tho
engineer knows that tho normal posi
tion of the Bigunls is at danger, and
when bo approaches them and sees
them against him ho too often thinks
that it means nothing moro than that
the tower operator has been a little
dilatory in throwing his levers. But
if he realize that to run past a danger
signal menns absolutely aud invariably
that his train is going off the railR, ho
has a mnch more powerful motive to
iuduoo him to keep bis train under
control as ho approaches such signals.

eoal enough to put a girdle round the
