We hear the mountains calling to f us, and the seashore extending us an invi tation, and then others of us write to our country cousins, and in return for the brief visit they paid us last winter we announce ourselves ready tc sojourn with them indefinitely. These country cousins are rather impressed with our grandeur, and nothing they have is too good for us. The best room is thrown open for our benefit, and the sunshine is allowed to pour in on the best brussels carpet and haircloth furniture. The neighbors give tea parties for us, and the wealth of the larder is spread out be fore us. They serve six o'clock supper, and the menu isn't at all like the meal we have been in the habit of having at that hour in the city. They have sauce and biscuit and spice cake and tea, and fill in the odd spaces on the table with plates of cottage cheese and cookies and q i Tlotirpr Iresn nutter ngnt irom me cuuni DDOkane LyenVer very morning. Those of us who are loriunaie emuigu to nave iu b-juu ui a, summer come back to the city refreshed in body and spirit. The crickets and the katydids do not make the same sort of music that we find at the summer re sorts, but they lull us to sleep rather early in the night, so that we are rea.Jy to respond to the cock's crow in the early morning.

"Great heavens, Boothby!" cried the conductor, "do you know what you've been running against?" "The O. & M.'a hottest stuff, and I cooled it for 'em." "Yes, you have. You've been run ning against an earthquake. The O. & M. train was picked up by it just out of town. A hill 20 feet high followed her last Pullman and she was running down hill the entire way, being pushed forward all the distance." "Say, Hank," said Boothby, "did that earthquake help us any?" "No; we were 100 yards ahead all the time." Boothby climbed back on his box and Hibbard returned to the train. But although Boothby's achievement i brought glory to his roundhouse, he I would never race again. Be said he didn't mind whipping an ordinary en gine run by ordinary steam, but he didn't want to combat a thing that "laid up" with devils and was in league with cyclone, storm and earth quake.

The etiquette of visiting would fill a book, if it were set down in black and white. A hospitable New York woman who enttrtains a good many people during the course of the year tells me that there are but a very few of her list of guests who meet the requirements of the guest. The model guest Is one who comes when she is invited and goes home at the expiration of the time specified in the invitation. She makes her own bfd, keeps order in her room and is all ready when the mnid announces that the meal is served. I believe, In addition to these excellences, that she brings her own sonp and scissors and comb and brush, and thct, In case she does not do this. she, at least, on departure, refrains from appropriating any of the articles mentioned. The model guest busies herself with o bit of attractive needle work, which she afterwards presents to the hostess. She makes friends with the doif and cat, and she tells stories to the children, and admires the family baby and praises the cooking, and never forgets ii lit t! fee to the servants. She never int rude herself during the house worl.in;' hours, but settles herself hi a suiicr corner with a book, and has the best kind of a time. Sometimes she dusts around a little. Inst for exercise, nnd she rltilnta only the privilege of be ing one of the family. She knows how to express appreciation In a way thst piitsapi.rs In everyone's good endeavors, nud she goe home while everybody Is very fond of her and regrets her.

July and August generally blast all hopes for a cool season, and it is a rare and exceptional year in which these months are not a fiery furnace of en durance, so far aa the weather is con cerned. The main question then for those who, from choice or necessity remain I in town, is how to keep the house cool, so that when night come some part of the discomfort of the day may be for got in sleep. No one needs to be told that the main element of success in this effort lies in the total exclusion of air as well as light during the scorching hours of the day. The breeze is very tempting when ever it comes, but it is also very treach erous and deceptive, for, in the long run, it ia more heating than cooling, as it blows over streets where the ther mometer is marking1 90 in the shade. Of course, we must have light and air, for if we remain in the house we must employ our time in a thousand and one ways which require both, but the out side heat ia the foe to fight, and it enters bv every crack large enough for an atom. The best generalanip selects cer tain rooms to be kept open enough to live in, those of the second story beitiff usually preferred As soon as the light grows strong in the morning all the other windows of the house ahould be fastened tight, the shutters loltcd, the sashes In place and j i vtn the dark shades lowered so as to exclude as nearly as possible tiie rays of day. i In the second story the shutters snouia , bo Iwwed in and the rooms made as i dark aa feasible, while on the parlor j iloor the only wlndowa open should be those of the dining-room ana tnese are fastened tight between the hour for menla. The cook tieeds light and air to make her hot kltehen atUI hotter, mil ine work l rendered more tolerable If a large gas stove or an "Aladdin's oven" Is substituted for the fierce Area of the runge. This deprives the bath room of hot w ater, but it also prevents ihe heating of the houwt by the. piprs which run from th boiler to different, rooms, and hot bntha are not advisa ble in hot WMitlvrr.

Steal as many American newspapers from the reading-rooms aa possible. Take lunch at a boulevard restaurant. Kick at the bill. Take a cab and visit Notre Dame, the Morgue, the Sainte-Chapelle, the Palais de Justice and the Cluny Muse um. Wind up at that big anop canea the Bon Marche, and finish the after noon looking around. Go to bed im mediately after dinner. Second day Go to the Bon Marche and stay till dark. Of course, only the ladies do this. It will give a chance for the men of the' party to go down to Henry s American bar and stay till dark. Third day Get up late and take the ladies to that big shopcalled the Louvre. The men go to see about their steamer tickets and then make a trip to the Gare du Nord to get some extra trunks out of bond. All meet at the Louvre; take lunch at the cake shop opposite, then go to the Louvre again and stay all day buying gloves. In the evening go to the grand opera, where the whole party goes to sleep from sheer fatigue. Fourth day Se about the wash. Be gin packing the gloves. Start for Versailles. Get back in time to take a drive through the Bois de Boulogne. At nisrht the men of the party go to the Moulin Rouge. Fifth day The men go out alone and the women go out alone. The latter buy hats on the Hue Royale. The former go to bank for some more mou ey. In the evening ride on the top of an omnibus from the Madeleine to the Bastile and back. Sixth day Everybody goes shopping. In the evening paak trunks. Seventh day Finish shopping; en gage the omnibus to take us to the rail way station, and take a nap in the after noon. The train for Havre is waiting, and so good-by to Paris. Pittsburgh Dispatch. Lot of Animals lor Drink.

One of the funniest things that have occurred in Joliet during the present year, says the Joliet (III.) Republican, waa the mishap of a gentleman Vtho formerly lived on the west side, but is now a resident of the city, and whose wife ran the store bill and looked after the household expenses. He waa in the habit, by agreement with his grocer, of having his cigars and occasionally goods that were not exactly cigars charged up aa potatoes. One evil day his wife took her pencil and began to reckon up the aecounta. She finally found that the family had eaten over three car loads of potatoes in leas thRn a year, nnd she just didn t believe that the neeount waa correct. The smoker and the amoker'a grocer were between the upjier and the nether millstone for several days, and it waa doubtful who would lie pulverized the finest, but finally an explanation was made that mollified the wife, even If it didn't saliufy her aa to the correctness of the groeer a charge for potatoes. fnnn is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning tbecanae, first symptoms and treatment is the ob ject of this item.
