little expense one can fit a summer room

summer boarders at the fashionable re-
sort In the hot weather, give the room
a thorough ventilation during the night
and until four or five o'clock in the
morning, and then shut the windows and
blinds and keep them absolutely closed
through the day, and the curtains down.
No amount of shade will keep a room
cool if the heated outside air is permit
ted to enter freely. If there IS veran-
da or porch available, fit up comfortable
out-of-door seats, and swing hammock
in the shade. Two are better than one
and very good hammocks can now be
bought for a couple of dollars. Screen
the kitchen and dining-room windows
and outside doors with gauze, to keep
out flies, and put up canopies or bars if
there are mosquitoes. A very little mon
ey reinforced with moderate supply of
gumption, will keep these summer pests
from destroying the comfort of the
household.

The man leaped into the inclosure at

How TO TAKE LIFE.-Take life like
a man. Take it just as though it was
as it is-an earnest, vital, essential
affair. Take it just as though you were
born to the task of performing merry
part in it-as though the world had
waited your coming. Take it as though
it were grand opportunity to achieve,
to carry forward great and good schemes
to hold and to cheer suffering, weary,
it may be heart-broken brother. The
fact is, life is undervalued by great
majority of mankind. 1t is not made
half as much of as should be the case.
Where is the man or woman who accom-
plishes one tithe of what might be done.
Who cannot look back on opportunities
lost, plans unachieved, thoughts crushed,
and all caused from lack of necessary
and possible effort If we knew better
how to take and make the most of life.
it would be greater than it is. Now and
then a man stands aside from the crowd,
labors earnestly, steadfastly, confident
ly, and straightway becomes famous for
wisdom, intellect, skill, greatness of
some sort. The world wonders, admires,
idolizes and yet it only illustrates what
each may do if he takes hold of life with
a purpose. If a man but say he will,
and follow it up, there is nothing in
reason he may not expect to accomplish.

WHAT IS HEAT LIGHTNING ?-The
flashes of lightning often observed on
summer evening. unaccompanied by
thunder, and popularity known as cheat
lightning" are merely the light from
discharges of electricity from an ordinary
thunder-cloud, beneath the horizon of
the observer, reflected from clouds, or
perhaps from the air itself, as in the
cases of twilight. Mr.. Brooks, one of
the directors of the telegraph line be-
tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia, in
forms us that on one occasion, to satisfy
himself on this point, he asked for in
formation from distant operator during
the appearance of flashes of this kind in
the distant horizon, and learned that
they proceeded from distant thunder
storm then raging two hundred and fifty
miles eastward of his place of observa-
tion.-Prof Henry.

A REMEDY FOR WEAK EYEs.-A SIM
pie remedy for weak eyes is recommend
ed as follows: Get FIVE cent cake of
elder flowers at the druggists, and steep
in one gill of soft water-it must be
stepped in bright tin or earthenware
strain nicely, and then add three drops
of laudanum bottle it tight, and keep
it in cool place then use it as wash.
letting some of it get in the eyes. Fol-
low this, and relief is certain. If the
eyes are painful or much sore, make
small, soft congresses, wet in the mix
ture, and bind over the eyes at night. [
can warrant the above as harmless and
sure, having tried it in number of cas-
es where other skill and remedies had
utterly failed. If the eyes are badly
infamed, use it very freely; and a tea
made of elder flowers, and drank, will
help cleanse the blood. Pure rock salt
and water will strengthen your weak
eyes if you battle them daily in it. |
would earnestly advise you to avoid
mixtures or washes containing mineral
or other poisons.-D0ctor.

The man who is waiting for something

Marriage is defined by an unhappy
reporter of the Chicago Journal as an
insane desire on the part of man to
pay the board of another mans daughter.
"See here wife, you indulge that boy
too much. He is perfect mule" "Oh,

Few better replies are upon record
than that of the young polemic, to whom
a bishop once said: "If you will tell
me where God is, l will give you an
orange" "If you will tell me where
He is not, I will give you two," was the
child's answer.

WHO KNOWS =?

Why must we, then, be sad,
When Nature is so glad?
Not half can utterance all her joy unfold.
Though she runs o'er and DER
The strings tried long before,
To body forth the life that's never old.
Not for our sakes arrayed
Though we would fain persuade
Our foolish hearts that she. in servant guise,
Spreads all her varied show
Before us as we go.
To win approving glances from our eyes.
All, mol Though in broad glee
She laughs where all can see.
In leagues of fdandelions all dewy wet,
All to herselfsh smiles
In far-off ocean isles,
And in dim hooks in shy blue violet.
And though she dances still
Along the sheer brown hill
In scarlet glow of swinging coumbine.
In gentian she smiles slow,
AS happy maid might go,
Who sings, al love him, and his heart is mine"
She wants no added bliss,
No praise for this, or this;
Simply she is so glad she can not rest,
But still must evermore
In every way outpour
The exceeding bliss that stirs within her breast
No care for us has she;
And we, alas land we
Can look but sadly at her innocent play;
Shut out from Paradise,
We see with other eyes;
The flaming sword has rent all wells away.
Is there then for us too
No life forever new7
Or is that life new but in lying care,
Till on His far-of throne
Our God must hear alone
One cry of pain uprising everywhere?
Yet had 1t better been
We still had staid within,
Nor tasted fruit that let's US not forget?
Godknows if it be So
The days go on below,
And overhead the stars, they rise, the set
