I would like to suggest through your paper to the thousands who are obliged to remain in town during the hot weather?especially to those car ing for the sick?mv plan for cooling the sick room. I place a pad made of a folded piece of old blanket, on the stone ledge of the window (which the sun keeps very hot), and keep it wet all day. The rapid evaporation keeps the stone perfectly cold, and the air passing over it is perceptibly cooled, and gives much relief to the invalid.?A Nurse. Facts About Eggs. A good egg will sink in water. Stale eggs are glassy and smooth of shell. - A fresh egg has a lime-like surface to its shell. The boiled eggs which adhere to . the shell are freshly laid. * Eggs packed in bran for a long time smell and taste nasty. Thin shells are caused by a lack of .gravel, etc., among the hens laying eggs. ^ After an egg has been laid a day or more the. shell comes off easily when boiled. If an egg is clean and golden in appearance when held to the light it is good; if too dark or spotted, it is bad. "Western New York Washing Fluid/' I A friend, giving no name, sends the following in answer to E. F. M/s query in regard to washing greasy " overalls: "Take one pound of common washing soda (sal soda) ?and -one-half pound of fresh, unslaeked lime (slacked lime will not do): pour over it five gallons of water. Set on the stove and stir until thoroughly dissolved; set off and let settle, and bottle the clear solution; or use jars or jugs, labeling and corking, and set out of the reach of children or careless persons. This is a splendid lye, and will remove dirt or grease. Use one scant teacupful to a boiler of water; bring to a boil with half a cake of laundry soap cut up in it. The greasy ' clothes must first be wrung out of water in which they have been put to soak for a short time, then washed in this boiierful of water. This solution is a great labor saver, and will make washing almost a pleasure." If this could be used with a washing machine, much time and strength might be saved.?The Commoner. To Remedy Damp Walls. The following simple process is sa,id to effectually do away with all dampness of walls. Applications are made alternately of dissolved castile soap and dissolved alum. Threefourths of a pound of soap is melted in one gallon of boiling water. The Ahfoinof? tliArnn f^hlv II^UIU tUUO VUVMAUUU beaten to cause a stiff froth. This and the water are then completely incorporated by stirring and made boiling hot. The time for preparing the wall should be after a long dry spell, and as the wall must be as free from moisture as possible this condition can be assisted by the judicious use of fires.- Then brush the surface to be covered until as clean as possible. With a wide flat brush coat the Surface with the boiling soap preparation, working it b%ck and forth until the wall is covered with small bubbles. Let it remain twenty-four hours, to dry out, then apply an alum solution made by dissolving half a pound of alum in four gallons of water. * The alum coating may be nearly at blood heat. This should stand a day or two to dry and harden; then an, other application of soap, the same as the first, must be put on. How many coats are needed depends on the condition of the wall; sometimes half a dozen would be necessary, says Woman's Life. The soap and alum form a coating insoluble in ' - water, aad this unites with the material in the wall, filling all of the crevices and making a thoroughly waterproof surface.?New York Telegram. \ i Oatmeal Muffins?One cup cooked oatmeal, one-half teaspoonful salt, ! one and one-half cups flour, one-half cup milk, three teaspoonfuls baking powder, one egg, two tablespoonfuls sugar and one tablespoonful melted butter.

I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. 1 refused, and began using, Doan's KidneyN Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural and all my pains and aches disappeared. 1 have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills."

Our hearty thanks ought to be glv- % en to certain scientists and other -jH great men for revealing the fact that ^ most foods which we like are really, dangerous to human life. The sim- r:'l pie fact of eating harmless things from day to day becomes so monoto- J nous for awhile that half the chartn is gone. When we are told, however, that all oysters contain more or ^ less typhoid germs, that milk is in- .y ^ fected with tubercle-bacilli; that all ' ^ m. at and fish are afflicted with pto maines and that fierce, migratory or nomadic germs are wandering from :v| vegetable to vegetable, then the pro- .j|j cess or aosoroing iooa Decomes a. r genuine sport, enlivened at every -'"M turn by the prospect of being cut ;=y open for appendicitis, or having our il stomachs removed and renovated by fil willing experts while, we wait. All of us being gamblers by nature, it becomes truly a pitiable condition ? l?. when there is no longer any harm in ^ anything. One-half the pleasure of indulging in what we know to be dangerous is the thought of what it may lead to. Is there anything better, /Sj for example, than hot mince pie?i :syf Containing, as it does, practically. everything that is not fit to eat, so many complications for the future >fj are bound up in it that our pleasure * is sure to be enhanced in proportion ^ to the varieties of danger it repre- '?|l sents. There is pleasure in the act yyj of eating it alone, quite enough toyJB make it worth while. When we add 'v^ to this the thought of the suffering vJl that may come, the joy of the act ^ rises at once to moral grandeur. It V-j^ is just such sacrifices as this that yip show the differences between man, the thinking being, and the brute || beast. V.yyaM A dog foolishly and instinctively^: || avoids the things that are not good :$| for him.

Iu summer its acids temper. :>M and equalize the' heat, and in winteR:*^ its sugars warm. Sugar and acid, ht-'S fact.^are so equally balanced in thioilH food^formed in the great laboratory^^M of natuje that'neither preponderate^^ unduly" or to the detriment of other, x We may take the testimony^ of the birds as to the healthfulnewja-; of fruit. The Arabs form a good exfj&m ample of a nation that, to a very:|?| large extent, lives on fruit. Who cattjfl be more brave than the Arab, or who possesses more dash and elan?^^ "Give an Englishman his beef and: J cheese," says a writer. By means, we say, but let him and-tihd^^S Americans, too, combine with ^ good, wholesome fruit. As we fcjaveJIB frequently pointed out in these cofeA-j umns, the employment of fruit as.ajjj ^: i] article of diet is invaluable, and^ are happy to say, that its coifeunijK;|g tion in the United States is conatdBl^l'^.; 1v inrrpnsfnp' and 'rmr fruit is the finest in the world. C51B Indignities to a Statue. .

The Dubin statue has had many M escape from destruction. On one oc- M casion a fervent patriot was found' astride the steed calmly cutting offc -'J the head with a saw. Later still, -toirjl the last century, the statue blown up with gunpowder. On that;: occasion the late Mr. Ralph Beraalj C|| Osborne (so the story goes) sent an- ||1 urgent message to Sir Philip Cramp^ . ^ ton, a leading Dublin surgeon, to attend "a titled gentleman" who had. been thrown from his horse in Col- ';rll lege Green and badly hurt.
