HEALTH RULES FOR ,summE,R.
In any valuable advice , about the
treatment of oneself' M summer, the
."don!ts" must, largely prevail. Din-
ing the hot months the gospel of ab-
stinence should be most streeniou'sly,
and continnously taught and accept-
ed, or illness is the result, writes
Dr. J. Livingstone.
First, don't entirely shut out the
sunlight because it makes the room
somewhat warmer or fades the car-
pet, Life is more than a little ex-
tra disoomfort or the brightness of
carpets; and, when you shut out the
slut you shut out the great vitalizer
and germ destroyer. You need not,
of course, have the sun streaming in
all day, but let It come in freely for
tin hour or two in the morning..
Use as little gas as possible for
lighting purposes. It is estimate
that one gas jet consumes as muc
oxygen as six people and adds to th
heat. A lamp makes far less heat
but much more than an electric
light, which uses none of the room'
oxygen. Luckily, the hours of sum
mer ' daylight are so long that on

Don't neglect your sleeping room
This is a most important don't. B
- sure that, during the hour when th
sunlight is being admitted theabe
clothes have been removed , and ar
spread out so that they, as well a
the bed, will become thoroughlfadir
ed. Do not sleep in a draught.
But although you should not slee

people close their windows at nigh

poisonous from the exhalations fro
both body and lungs.

drink for summer.
Let yout heartiest meal be

day is over. Fruit, toast, soft-boi

WRITING A LETTER.
The most striking thing about
ideal letter is its flavor of the p
sonality of the writer. A lett
should convey, as nearly possib
the same effect as would a talk
tween the writer and her correspon
int. What is a good letter to yo
mother or sister perhaps would

remember to whom you are writin
and write to and for that one p
son.
General descriptions and observ
tions will be out of place in 99 cas
out of 100. Make your letter an i
dex of your mind on the subjec
you believe to be interesting to t
one to whom you are writing. P
your own individuality into ev
your observations on the weath
Avoid long excuses for not writi
earlier or more frequently. Like
ologies for not returning visits
calls, those of the lagging lett
writer only emphasize the negle
Make up for previous shortcomin
by writing fully, sympathetical]
and vivaciously, so that the plea,si
of reading your letter will outwei
any disappointment you may h

It was yachting that brought
about the downfall of Elliot Reid,
owner of the famous '' 111yrteia."
He owned altogether 153 boats in,
his career, and for ten years he
claimed to have never been out, of
craft. His
sight of one of his' costlyH'
love of yachting amounted almost to
nionomaeaa ; and though his mcOme
was given as $30,000 , a year, it I
could not 'keep pace with this ex- I
penditure. on his hobby. • Yet he
spent hardly' a penny apart' froni his
yachts, for he lived on board his fa-
vorite craft -the "Olney" -having no
dwelling ashore; and when she was
"laid un'a in the maid for the winter,
lie .
STILL LIVED ON HER.
,
He had an exam.ple of every new
style of racing -yacht .built for him
when it appeared, and he bought and
sold big yachts almost weekly, give
ing any price the Seller chose to ask,th
but never getting lunch for them ,
when he sold them. He talked and

and was a ,splendid hand at it, come
mancling all his own boats; and "he
had every kind of, yacht conceivable,'

'except a steam -launch, which ' was a
thing he abhorred. '
However, even $30 000 , a year
.r. ,
would not stand such a strain long,
and at his bankruptcy his yachting
expenses were given -truly enough-
-
as the • . reason for his failure. The
yachts were his only assets, every
Penny of his capital being ',spent,
