a ' tiood Colors For Houses. It is not generally known not even among painters v.-hy certain tints and colors wear, much better than others on houses, and tho knowledge of just what tints are best to use is, therefore, rather hazy. One writer on paint, in a recent book, says that eiperiments seem to show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the sun will protect a house better than thoso which allow these rays to pass through the film. Thus red is a good color because It turns back, or reflects, the red rays, and the red rays are the hot rays. In general, therefore, the warm tarnes are good and the cold tones ure poor, so far as wear is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for your house, select reds, browns, grays and olives which, considering the various tones these tints will produce, will give a wide range from which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), and the blues. It must be understood that no vir tue Is claimed for tints in themselves, Irrespective of the materials used in the paint. Any color will fade, and the paint will scale off, if adulterated white lead or canned paint is used, but if one is careful to use the best white lead some well-known brand of a reliable manufacturer and gen uine linseed oil, the warm tints men tioned above will outwear the same materials tinted with the cold colors. Afraid of Fresh Air. People who were born and bred In the country and who still live there are, as a rule, curiously afraid of freRh air. From their living rooms, especially the "parlor," they rigidly exclude every approach of outdoor air except at housecleaning . time, and they are more cautious still as to sleeping rooms. The farmers, in spite of their outdoor employment, nuuer m;i n nine num i;uiiuliiiiimi. It seems a pity when these country dwellers might have their lungs filled with pure, fresh air day and night, sleeping cr waking, that the poison ed air they breathe at night should he allowed to offset the good effects obtained through the day's work In the field. If the enlightened visitors, paying guests and summer boarders, who have learned that one's manner of life rather than one's place of liv ing may be depended tipon to pre vent consumption would but circulate their knowledge in a practical way in country places their vacations would accomplish something besides a re freshing of their own health. Boston Transcript. American Mineral Water. In 1890 about 47,000,000 gallons of mineral waters from springs in the United States were sold; in 1000, 60.000,000 gallons, and in 1A05 about 75,000.000. The value at tho point of shipment now reaches $12,000,000 a year, and taking into account the ex pense of transit, bottling and the prof its of retailers, $20,000,000 must be expended each year for American min eral waters. The productiveness of the mineral water springs of the United States is practically unlimited, and at the rate at which the product is increasing it cannot be long before the amount sold each year will reach 100,000,000 gallons, about a gallon and a quarter per capita a year. Mineral Water News. Sunday Rest in France. The action of the French Parlia ment in passing a bill with little op position making Sunday a day of ob ligatory rest has given very wide sat isfaction in that country. A special clause of the law authorizes the min isters interested to suspend 15 times a year a day of rest in establish ments under State control or private establishments-where work is going on In the interest of national defense. The bill allows masters and employ ers in cases of bakeries, hotels, res taurants and such places to so ar range their work that employes who vork on Sunday shall rest on some other day of the week. SALLOW FACES. Often Caused by Coffee Drinking. How many persons realize that coffee so disturbs digestion that It produces a muddy, yellow complex ion? A ten days' trial of Postum Food Coffee has proven a means, In thou sands of cases, of clearing up bad complexions. A Washn. young lady tells her ex perience: "All of us father, mother, sister and brother bad used tea and cof fee for many years until finally we all bad stomach troubles more or less. "We were all sallow and troubled with pimples, breath bad, disagree able taste in the mouth, and all of us simply so many bundles of nerves. "We didn't realize that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to borrow some from a neighbor. She gave us some Postum and told us to try that. "Although we started to make it we all felt sure we would be sick it we missed our strong coffee, but we were forced to try Postum and were surprised to find It delicious. "We read the statements on the pkg., got more and in a month and a bait you wouldn't have known us. We were all able to digest our food without any trouble, each one's skin became clear, tongues cleaned off and nerves in fine condition. We never use anything now but Postum. There Is nothing like It." Name giv en by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a reason." New York City. Young girls are always ready to seize upon any satis factory novelty in dress, and the Pe ter Pan shirt waists have met with hearty approval. This one has the two tucks in each front that provide becoming fulness, and can be made either from thin lawns, batistes and the like or from the Bllghtly heavier Madras, linen and French pique. In this instance white mercerized ba tiste Is worn with a pretty blue tie and belt, but in addition to the plain materials there are many dotted ones that are much liked. Pin dotted lawn with collar and cuffs of plain color, matching the dots is a favorite and the coin dotted wash silks are exceedingly smart. The waist Is made with the fronts and the back. The back is plain but the fronts are tucked at the shoul ders and are finished with hems at their edges. The patch pocket is ar ranged over the left one and the col lar is attached to the neck. Tho sleeves are comfortably full and can be made either with or without open ings. In either case they are gath ered into bands to which the cuffs are attached. The quantity of material required or the sixteen year size is three and a half yards twenty-one, three and one-eighth yards twenty-Beven or one and seven-eighth yards forty four Inches wide. Crisp TuIIo Bow. Nothing could be more charming than the revival of the crisp little bow of white cambric or tulle under the chin. This Is a fresh, dainty mode of nock dressing, and looks particularly well with the Bprlng tailored suit. The ties, when of cam bric or lawn, are long enough to go twice around the neck and tie. They must, of course, be immaculately crisp and fresh, or their charm is lost. The dainty, ethereal whisp of tulle, such as girls wore a year or more ago, has again been adopted by those who find it becoming. Embroidering White Belts. The vork of embroidering white belt and collar to match to wear with shirt waist suits is employing the spare moments of many young ladies who are energetic in spite of the ex treme heat. Quill For Lingerie Hut. The quill has found its way to the lingerie hat,' and its pert style is much rnore appropriate among the bows than are more pretentious frrTns of decoration. Vesuvius, the New Color. A London authority states that a deep yellow, with a shot of flame red in its lights and shades, is the latest fashionable color. It la known as Vesuvius." Juunty Bathing Kerchief. There's a way of tying the kerchief worn over the hair w hile bathing so that it gives a very Jaunty rather than grotesque appearance which is so general when one is really ready for the water. The back cf the hair i covered, but the pompadour is left out and the silk kerchief is tied Just back of it in a sort of ascot knot, the short ends falling .o the sides. Simple lint Beautiful Sunshades. Most of the parasols carried in Newport have been simple in style. Few have had frills or ruffles. But the sunshades are of beautiful tints that match the costumes or contrast with them. The handles make up for the simplicity of tho tops, and some are elaborate and costly. Several seen recently had handles of blrdseye maple, with cut glass ends of various shapes, some of which resemble de canter stoppers. The head of a frog and that of a peacock were repro duced on two handles seen recently. Jewels formed the eyes. Only elderly women carry the small carriage para sols, for though they are convenient, they are not at all pretty. New York Press. Breakfast Kimono. The simple breakfast Jacket pos sesses a great many advantages and this one can be utilized both for mornings at home and for negligee wear. In the illustration it is made of a pretty dotted challlo with band ings of plain washable silk and in addition to being extremely dainty is eminently practical, inasmuch as the materials can all be washed read- ily and with success. It would, how ever, be equally attractive In cash mere, in French flannel and all sim ple materials and also in the cotton ones that now are being shown and In which so many garments of the sort are sure to be needed. The kimono is made with the fronts and the- back and is finished with the big and becoming collar over. the shoulders while the sleeves are made in one piece each and cut on pointed outline. Tho quantity of material required for the medium size is four and one quarter yards twenty-seven, three and three-quarters yards thirty-sis or three yards forty-four inches wide with four yards of banding. riuid Wash Tie. The fancy for bright plaid wash tie and belt has not yet been very widely adopted here, though it la a pretty Idea for younger women espe cially, tho best effect being obtained whon the tie is worn -over a white stock and the edges of both tie and belt bound with white.

There are about 225,000 miles of cable in all at the bottom of the sea, representing $2.10,000,000, each line costing about $1,000 a mile to make and lay. The average useful lite of a cable nowadays Is anything between 30 and 40 years, according to circum stances. About (1,000,000 messages are conveyed by the world's cables throughout the year, or 15,000 a day, the working speed of any one cable being up to 100 words a minute un der present conditions. About 00 per cent of these are sent In code or cipher.

Mrs. A. Taylor, of Wharton, N. J., says: "I bad kidney trouble in its most painful and severe form, and the torture I went through now seems to have been almost unbear able. I had back ache, pains In the side and loins, dizzy spells and hot, feverish headaches. There were bearing-down pains, and the kidney secretions passed too frequently, and with a burning sen sation. They showed sediment. I became discouraged, weak, languid and depressed, so sick and weak that I could not keep up.

National Pro vltdoncr. Cholera In Manila. The outbreak of cholera in Manila revives memories of the terrible epidemics of the past, especially the one of 1302, when there were record ed some 83,000 deaths out of 130,303 cases. Last year there were 713 cases reported, with 553 deaths. Since 1902, the health officers have in trenched themselves behind a sys tem of inspection and sanitation that should prevent the recurrence of the scourge on a great scale, but they are often hampered by those Ignor ant natives who regard health laws as oppression, and who hide from the authorities easra that occur In their families.
