' FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Ilot Tea In Sammer. Thorn is one class of citizens In Cleveland that is always eool, no mat ter how warm the rays from the sun may make their neighbors feel. In the warm spells the Chinese residents of the city are never heard to complain, and while all other nationalities seem ed to be represented in the reports of deaths and heat victims the Celestial alone seemed to possess Immunity. Ills coolness is due to the fact that he has an antidote for the heat In the shape of tea from his native land, and he knows how to take it. The hotter the day tho warmer will be the tea which he drinks in unstinted quanti ties. One of the followers of Confucius who has an extended reputation for his dexterity In mixing chop sooy for the cultivated taste of actors and people with Thespian tastes explained the reason why none of his people ever suffer with heat. lie also said that during the hot weather none of his people ever eat any meat, and even the odor of yokomai has no temptation for him. The philosophy of the Chinaman Is that the abstinence from moat and the indulgence in the boiling tea act In conjunction to keep him from feeling the heat. The tea is supposed not only to relieve nil thirst, but to Induce a perspiration that In turn brings about a lower temperature. The Clrtnnnmn also eschews any at tempt at bathing during the heated season and declares that this also con tributes to ills general chilly tempera ture. He never hampers himself with extra clothes and above all has nevei learned to read a thermometer.—Cleve land Plain Dealer. Ornamcntnl Letter Rack. This Illustration offers a suggestion for doing up an old bamboo letter rack or for making a new one, which will be a thing many girls who are fond of such work will he pleased to do. The entire rack may be made In thin white wood and the design painted on the front panel or burned in poker work, or a simple way to make it is to have a foundation of wood 9 inches long and 5 inches deep. It should be about half an inch thick and may be enameled or gilded. The back, center division and front are of cardboard edged with wire to A LETTER RACK. make them quite Arm, then covered with silk, on the front of which the design shown is either painted or em broidered. For the ends of both back, center and front upright bars of wood about the size of ordinary cedar pencils should be fixed Into the foundation. Holes may be bored in the wood, and the up rights can be fixed in the holes by sec icothie. In each upright four brass loops are fixed. They are such as are used for fixing wire on picture frames. Cord Is then laced across from back to front and tied at the bottom, fringing the? ends out into tassels. Bnttermllk. Ituttermilk is an excellent drink for people with muddy complexions, being full of a mixture of acids known collec tively as lactic acids, which are good for the skin. I'igs fed on it thrive and give an especially well flavored bacon. It also makes lovely lioe cakes. One farmer's wife's method Is to take half as much fresh butter as flour, half as much sugar as butter and quarter as much mixed bicarbonate of soda and cream of tarter, mixed equally, as sug ar. The butter Is rubbed in the flour, tho sugar added, and the chemicals, dissolved in warm buttermilk, are add ed in a little well made In the center of the dry materials; then enough warm buttermilk Is used to make all Into a fairly stiff paste like dough. This Is cut into three cornered shapes and baked in a moderate oven after each has been washed over with buttermilk In which some beaten egg has been stirred. Will Be In Hnll of Fnme. For a representative who has the rep utation of being the plainest looking man iu congress Frank Eddy of Min nesota thinks lie is doing pretty well. "I have just had a letter from a friend out home saying that he had named a brand of cigars after me," says Mr. Kddy in his slow, solemn way. "lie wauted my photograph to be reproduc ed on the box, and in the very same inn II I was solicited for my picture and a recommendation for a patent medi j cine. I told them 1 would do anything to accommodate except take the medl ; cine. Now I think 1 am eligible for the | New York Hall of Fame."

She lias been for a score of years as much of a character of tlie capital as a number of others who from one or mother phase of eccentricity have gone into print. For nearly 40 years "the old lady of the window" has sat there watching the tide of time sweep away one dwelling after another to make room for t lie erection of business houses. Her name is Julia Hanson, and in early life she is said to have been one of the noted octoroon beau ties of Washington. A few weeks ago she sold her home, in one of the front windows of which hor wrinkled and withered features have been framed day In and out for nearly 40 years. Title to the property was several times attacked in tin? courts, but Aunt Julia was able to maintain her home. A ro mantic story is told of her curly life and the affection cherished for her by southern families of prominence. It is said there was left with her when the war of the rebellion began a large sum of money, computed to be over SBO,OOO, by a family who "went south" and joined the Confederacy, which she faithfully guarded until the close of the war and returned to the owners. During the war Aunt Julia kept a boarding house and had for guests u number of army officers. The old lady is now over 02 years of ago. She re ceived a large sum for her F street property and in addition to that lias considerable means. The old dwelling lias been torn down, and a modern business house is now in course of con struction on the site. The Library Bureau. The division of bibliography of 1 lie Li brary of Congress has just brought out "A Union List of Periodicals, Transac tions and Allied Publications Currently Received In the Principal Libraries of the District of Columbia." It will sur prise many readers of tlds document to discover how many libraries of suffi cient importance for consideration In such a work exist in this District. The war department alone has three, the department library proper, the adju tant general's library and the surgeon general's library; the Interior depart ment four, the patent office library, the geological survey, the bureau of Ameri can ethnology and the bureau of educa tion libraries; the treasury department two, that of the bureau of statistics and that of the const and geodetic sur vey; the department of agriculture two, its own proper and that of the weather bureau; the department of state and the navy department one each, and the Smithsonian institution one of which it takes entire charge and another which it leaves in the custody of the librarian of congress. Then there is also of course the greatest of all, the Library of Congress. Cupid In n Stamp Collection.

Mr. Berliner received in Ids mall one day at Teuerife a fresh, bright, piquant letter from a student at Columbian uni versity, this city, asking that lie save her a collection of postage stamps. The fetching tone of the letter and Its ele gant execution brought about a regular correspondence between the young dip lomat and the schoolgirl. Miss Otten berg had written similar letters to at least a hundred members of the United States consular service. As she receiv ed prompt attention from ail as well as pretty souvenirs from all parts of the world, it seems a bit of fate that Mr. Berliner should have been the lucky man to win her hand. To Beautify the Capital. Frederick Law Ohnstead, I). 11. Bnrnhain and Charles F. MeKim, who were appointed a commission to devise ' means for beautifying t lie city of Washington, have returned after a trip through the principal European cities in search of suggestions for their work. Mr. Olmstead said tlie results had been satisfactory. "We spent two months In Washing ton before we started." said lie, "work ing out the general plan of improve ment. Our purpose in going abroad was to study the solution of similar problems in Europe. "Broadly speaking, we Intend to go back to the plan made a century and a half ago by Charles Peter L'Etifaut under the direction of George Wash ington.
