S Lakeland inquire F CooL, Physicians Prescribe Cleanliness, Light Clothing and Summer Food. If you want to keep cool, keop quiet, says the New York World. Exertion produces heat. All energy, whether muscular or mental, in- creases the temperature of the blood. There are, in every year, between seven and four- teen days when the New York woman should give her brain, body and digestive apparatus as much rest as circumstances will permit; if this is conscientiously done, ordinary summer weather will be enjoyable. : t is not enough to stop work when the out- side temperature gots higher than the tempera- ture of the body; the woman who feels the heat must stop worrying, fussing and eating. A very little food wili nourish the body, “Square meals” of hot soup, groasy dishes, fat meats, rich desserts and stimulating drinks are not only unnecessary, but positively injurious. The system is not in & condition to digest either as much or as heavy food in hot asin cold weather. Not only the quantity, but the quality of food should be changed to suit the season. Just what a summer dict should consist of depends entirely on the eondition of | the indi- vidual. Fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables should nourish and agree with every system not im- Paired by disease or old age. | Thevo are season able fox If they were not needed ut this particular time of year they would not be so lentiful, Fruit will never make any one sick if itis ripe. Itisthe dish of spoiled vegeta- bles, the sour apple, green peach and decaying banana and the plato of bad berries that causes stomach trouble and intestinal imfammation, often fatal in results and always distressing. Good fruits and crisp vegetables are the Very best of summer foods; any other kind is worse than unwholesome—it is injurious. ‘The ways of success are always intoresting. An uptown woman doctor, who is able to do an immense amount of work ten months in the year, gives the following information: “While a firm believer in the value of « mixed diet, Iam a strong advocate of a change of food during the summer, as positive as the change of temperature. When the weather is very hot our table is served with cold dishes almost exclusively. For breakfast we lave fresh, jnicy fruit im abundance, bread and but- ter, coffee, half milk, and one’ other dish—an omelette with jelly, herbs, asparagus tips,cauli- flower or tomatoes, a broiled fish, soft-boiled eggs, one chop, ora few shreds of bacon cut thin enough and cooked weil enough to re- semble chips when served. Such old standbys as oatmeal, hash, griddle enkes and corn bread we reserve for ‘cold weather. For lunch we have » chop—mutton or !amb—a boiled fish or a light stew and one vegetable. Only one chop is served. If the dish is a fish, the por- tion to each individual is small, but we are rather inclined to be generous with squash, spinach, turnips, cauliflower or salad. Stowed or preserved fruit, with sweet wafers and iced tea, finishes the meal. No butter, no hot bread and no potatoes. We have @ great many cold dinners in hot weather, and especially for Sun- day. Last Sunday was a pretty close day, and we dined on beef extracts, cold asparagus, cold roast beef, beets with melted butter, salad of lettuce und tomatoes, ice cream,cuke and dates, “Lemonade ts my favorite drink. d want it cold, bat I don't want ice init’ Iam ao light drinker. I use fruit to quench any unreason- able thirst. An orange, a fow cherries, a couple of red plums, a slice of melon or, best of all,an apple satiaiies my craving for drink. “Keep the body thoroughly clean; dress in loose, light clothing; keep out of the sun at all es, and indoors, if possible, an hour before and after noonday; occupy the mind, but en- gage in as little muscular work as possible; try not to worry; eat and drink no more than the system requires for nourishment; the closest attention to the stomach, and if that organ is all right you will not be overpowered by the hottest weather.” Another brilliant young physician advises at least two plunge baths a day. Ordinarily she takes three, apd when the heat is depressing and her duties increase she has four, which en- able her to do work that sho could not perform otherwise. ‘These baths,” she says, “need not consume over fire minutes; the idea is to cool the surface of the body. For this purpose tepid water should be used. It will be found that this practice, aside from keeping the skin ina healthy condition, will lessen the desire for cooling drink. The cifect is both refreshing and invigorating. Of course, I recommend this only for intensely hot days, and I would impress upon you tho great importance of a hasty dip. To remain in the water over a minute or longer than is necessary to sponge the body is to weaken instead of refresh it. Hot water is bad; so is cold for the purpose do- sired. These tepid baths will keep the little folks comfortable. “After cleanliness comes clothing. Body garments of wool should be worn all the year. For summer wear there aro light, almost gos- samer-like fabrics, Wool has a spiral or twisted thread which keops a space between the garment it composes and the body. This space favors the easy evaporation of insensible per- spiratio: ‘This doetor is opposed to ico in foods, for the reason that she hus no way of knowing whether itcame from a tainted or pure body of water. She advises boiling the drinking water and cooling it in water bottles, covered and kept in the ice box. She ulso says that ice cream is cooling, wholesome and refreshing, but adds, “beware of the coloring matte A 3th street doctor—and this one a man— says “keep clean; wear light colors and light fabrics; don't drink a drop of alcoholic bever- ages; don't overload the stomach; keep the di- gestive organs free; go without food rather than eat spoiled vegetables or tainted meats; give the body, the brain and the stomach all the rest vou can; keep indoors between 11 a.m. and 2p m., and ‘above all things, don't worry and don’t let your temper get away, for an in- furiated or angry woman is considerably hotter and more liable to be sunstruck if she goes out than a stoker or a locomotive engineer. “Black hats, black dresses and coats, black | sun umbrellas and black shoes increase the heat of the wearer; a woman with a black hat stands a better chance of » sunstroke than one with- out a hat. “Now, I would advise al! housekeepers, ser- vant girls and women of limited means to try this plan—get through with the hard work, the | Kelly and Miss Louise cooking, washing, sewing, &c., before noon, let | merited by Misses Nel | Katie Saffell, Lily Mangan, Ma: the fire go out and take things easily until ‘tl cool of the evening. Meats, tea and coffe vegetables, &c., can be prepared in two hours at most. Hot dishes are not needed when the heat of the day exceeds that of the body. He sugzests cold joints of beef, lamb or mut- ton, cold tongue, culd fish in variety, made savory with kitchen bouquet and delicate sal- ada, cold vegetables, such as beets, asparagu: artichokes and cauliflower; rice, served with stewed apples, raisins, prunes or peaches; fresh ripe fruit, ice cream, fruit ice, frozen fruit pudding, rolls, sweet and graham biscuits and iced tea, coffee and lemonade in moderation. ——see- ‘Where Cool Breezes Blow.

Last night the annual commencement exer- cites of the school were held at Motzerott Hall, marking the close of the forty-first year of the school's existence. Notwithstanding the un- pleasant heat of the evening there was a very fair attendance of the parents and friends of the students, who enjoyed to the full the program of exercises prepared for their entertainment, There were a number of very r recitations by about a dozen of the boys, while the salutatory of O. 8.

To Convince Doubters a Rainmaker is Going to Deluge Chicago. C.B. Jewell, the Rock Island rainmaker, has ‘& scheme on hand now which is causing the populist administration in Kansas a great deal of worry. He bas announced that he proposed to con- vince the people that he could bring down rain and would go to Chicago, and, during Kansas week in September, flood the world’s fair with great downpours, He said if that ‘would not satisfy the most stubborn he did not know what would. His scheme is to operate from the Kansas building in the fair grounds, and if not permitted to do that he would set up his tent on the ontside and flood Chicago with wa He believes that if he can make rain fall at the fair ne will convince the world that there is something in this meshod. He hns selected Kansas week because thousands of Kansans will be there. The state officers object to this scheme, because they do not want » downpour of rain when they go to Chicago to make big show, and it is certain that the board will be urged to ree to it that Jewell shall not be allowed inside the grounds.

Acting Secretary McAdoo has ordered the Atlanta, now at Greytown, Nicaragua, to re- turn to the United States, clearly indicating the official belief that the civil troubles on the isthmus are over for the present, and that it is safe for the ship to go to a healthier climate. The Atlanta will go to the Norfolk navy yard, where she will undergo expensive repairs. A board of officers will be appointed to survey her to ascertain her exact condition, which is reported to be bad.

The Exercises of Closing Day in the Public Schools, PLANS FOR VACATION. Teachers and Scholars Enjoy the Last Day in Their Own Way—A Year of Prosperous Work — What Two Critics Said of Our Bchoois. Some 40,000 residents of the city are cele- ‘brating today as «gala occasion. It is their day of emancipation, of freedom. Tomorrow they cau enjoy to the fullest extent that condi- tion of mind which has been aptly expressed in the phrase: “They don't care whether school keeps or not.” The fact is that school will not keep, at least the public schools, for today the Public schools of the city closed and tomorrow Today in many households and in the estimation of some 40,009 children it was a matter of considerable moment when the hour of 9 arrived. Tomor- row it won't make a particle of difference in these households or to all the children when it does arrive, or whether they are ready to wel- come its advent with clean faces, clothes in proper order and books in hand. The hour has lost its power, and won't regain it again until Beptember, when the school ell once more sounds its daily call. To say that the arrival of the long vacation is | an occasion of unmixed joy would not do justice | to the parents, upon whom now the responsi- bility of looking after their children during the day once more devolves. But on the of the children there is no doubt but that the clos- ing day of the school year is joyfully welcomed, ‘The teachers, too, as a rule in this feeling of their pupils, for now they can enjoy the rest which they have earned after the hard labors of the year. A GENERAL Goop TIxE. The school authorities recognize the last day of the school year as a time of rejoicing. For once the routine of school is thrown aside. There are no prescribed tasks, no lessons. Neither, it may be said in passing, is there any long and wearisome program of closing exer- cises imposed on the pupil. It is a sort of go- as-you-please day, when the teachers and Pupils area law, nto. themselves Vhatever the teacher and the scholars decide among themselves to do that is the program that is followed on the last day of the school year. Ina large number of the schools the same order was followed today as is the rule on auy ordinary school day. The only difference to be noted was the presence insome of the rooms of the parents aud friends of the pupils, and also that at 12 o'clock school was adjourned for the day and for the sum*ner. in some of the schools a p: of music and recitations was the order. This used to be the general custom on the last day of the year. The parents of the pupils were accustomed to assemble in the schoo! rooms and listen to their hopefal offspring as, with many contortions of face and swisheing of dresses and bitching of pantaloons, they said their little pieces or ‘ang their little songs. While Superintendent Powell is not opposed to this sort of thing, he makes no. general rule either one way or another, but wisely leaves the entire question as to the proper mode of celebrating the end ofthe school year to the teachers and the scholars. So it has come about tuat some of the schools observe the day in one way and others follow another method, and they are all PPY- ‘A YEAR OF PROSPERITY. The past year in the schools has been one of Prosperity and one of progress. It is believed that the schools are better now than they ever have been, and Supt. Powell trusts that at the close of next year the same record of progress may be made. During the past year the schools have been investigated from two independent sources, and from two different standpoints, and while in some ulars the system wat criticised, yet the result was that the schools of this city were given place in the front ranks of the public schools of this countrr. The commissioner of education, Prof. Harris, in- spected the schools from the standpoint of a machine which was designed to accomplish certain results, and his which was sent to Congress, while criticising the system in some parti in commended its efficiency and star From an entirely different standpoint the next inspection was made. Mr. Kice visited the sehools in the in- terests of a leading magazine which was print ing a serics of articles on the public schools of the principal cities of the country. He examined the schools with the view of see- ing whether the best and most modern methods known to pedagogic science were employed, and his article, which was reprinted in Tax Stan at the time, ‘placed our schools among the fore- most in this country. All this, of course, is highly gratifying to Superintendent Powell as he reviews the events of the past year. He recognizes that the excellence which has been found by these investigators to be in our school system is largely due to the intelligent and faithful work of the supervising principels and teachers of the schools, who have not only given him the most loyal and unselfish support, but have shown in the discharge of their duties a degree of intelli- gence and zeal thathe carmot find words to sdogantely express, together the school year ends with a good deal of satisfaction on the part of teachers and scholars, and all concerned are to be com- mended’ for the months of faithful and con- scientious work. RES ea TRAINING OF Ti ‘The Exhibit of Manual Work by the Pupils of the Colored Schools. ‘The children in the colored public schools of the city show a great deal of ability along the lines of manual training. as is evident to any one who visits the exhibit of chis class of work at the Miller school building, 623 H street. Perhaps there are some people who are old- fashioned enough not to be able to recognize avchool exhibit in such a display, but never- theless carpenter work and metal work and cooking are now a part of the training which is given to the pupils of the pubhe schools, and these features have bly come to ‘stay. Recognizing this work as the product of the hands of the children of the schools, an inspec- tion of what is to be seen in this building is calculated to fill the average visitor with a good deal of t for the attainments of the chil- Gren of the public schools. It should be borne in mind that only a tew hours each week are given to this work, for it is carried on in con- nectien with the course of instruction. It is estimated that only about eighty hours are available for the course during the entire year. NOT FANCY COOKING ALONE. The practical character of the cooking in- struction 1s appreciated even by the unmarried visitor as his ere rests on the snow white tables where the product of the culinary art is dis- played. No doubt the average man will note with satisfaction that the instruction is not limited to pies and cakes and fancy dishes. Of course there are specimens of that class of cook- ery, but at the same time piles of light, tooth- some-looking rolls and good, wholesome loaves of bread may be seen. ‘The girlsare not ing the usefal for the ornamental, the teacher, Miss Cook, who is a graduate of the Normal School, is rather proud of this part of the display. ‘ ‘A good deal of skill as well as natural ability is shown in the display of articles worked wood. Perhaps these articles do not show the finish which is given bya professional work- man, and it would be surprising if they did, for after all it is the work of young bors who are just learning the use of tools. Viewed in this light the exhibit is open to a great deal of intelligent praise. There are cabinet work, in- laying and carving. A number of small book cases, mineral cabinets, &c., have been made bs the pupils for the use of the school One boy, who wants to beastair builder when he ows up, has shown what hecan do fine, while another has made a doll's which he will present to the baby of the House. This department is under tion of Mr. Hill, who is a trained In the exhfbit of metal working, arranged under the direetion of the teacher, Mr. Baltimore, who is « practical machinist, there are come interesting articles, shows, Inthe work. A small steam engine and an in- strument for measuring the expansion of metals were also shown. ‘There is another sort of « display in the Lincoln building, 2d and © streets southeast. Here may be found work illustrating the ogress of the children in the English ranches as well as specimens of molding in clay and work in paper and in straw. Miss Berenice Virtue, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Virtue, and Mr. David W. Pool of Frederick, Md., were married last night at the residence of the bride's parents, 424 Massacha- setts avenue. Rev.
