THR venerable trustees OF the little
church around the corner doubtless
have paid up policies in some first class
life insurance company, and evidently
entertain the belief that all the congrega-
ton are likewise enjoying the same prov
ident security. No undue criticism is
Intended to be made concerning those
rickesy, unsafe steps and platform that
have stood the effects of time for, the past
decads, FOR they have been tsod by the
feet Of many BlbIe-loving pilgrims who
have entered the portals OF the church.
But the hand oil lime and constant wear
has left its impress upon them, and they
are scarcely able to support their own
weight. 1t has been. suggested that the
old platform be removed and new one
built, which shall be the same width a.
the doors, and that the balance Of the
space be inclosed with fence. Would

How TO KEEP CooL.-A correspondent
furnishes the London Times with the follow
ing hints, which will be found pertinent to
our own climate:
"In these hot days a cool apartment is a
real luxury, to be had far oftener than most
people suppose possible. The secret consists
not in letting In cool air, Tor naturally all dc
that whenever they can get chance, but in
keeping out the hot air. If the air outside a
room or hOnse be cooler than the ala inside
let it in by all means; but if it be hotter, care
fully keep it out.

The mistake people generally make Is 10 throw
omen the windows at all hours OF the day, nc
matter whether the atmosphere outside bt

A Boys STRATEGY.-A good joke is told
OF little four year old fellow who, having
disobeyed his father, was about to incur the
penalty-a switching. The father deliberate
ly prepared rod, while his soon stood sad
and silent spectator. As the parent approach
ed to the unpleasant duty, the boy started at
brisk run toward neigbborng bill. The
father pursued, and for some time the young.
ster increased the distance between them;
but gradually his strength began to fail, and
when he reached the hill and began to ascend
he soon lost his vantage ground. Nearer and
nearer the irate father approached, and just
as the top of the hill was reached, and as he
came within arms length OF the little fugi-
tive, who was ready to tall with exhaustion,
the boy quickly faced about, dropped upon
the ground, and with an iudescribable cast of
countenance, exclaimed: Papa, that
makes a tellow-blow-don't it?" This
changing of the subject" was so extremely
ludicrous that the father laughed heartily
over the strategy which his hopeful son ex-
hibited, aud the rod was not used.

A poor woman kept strawberry plant in
