The Mercury at Noon.
Chant Royals


Prey of tie pitiless day the city lies;
And men are maddened of the baleful glare
Of parched earth a-thirst, and brazen skies
Nor any mas his surcoat more can wear
And he in shrtseeves goeth, for the heat;
The dust lies thick upon the city street
Washed of the watering-cart to seethng mire;
All the day long the sun shoots down his fire;
Under umbrella, spread for shield and aid,
Walking, the citizen freely doth perspire-
Mercury at noon, leo in the shaded
The itinerant iterator of Strawberries.
Ten cents quartz, to cry hath no more care;
Who seleth charcoal ceaseth to apprise
Us, and the peanut vender and his ware
Roast mutually. Yea the boots upon mans feet
Cleaye to the molten surface Of concrete
Sidewalks-or on the curbstones yet more dire
Where dust and hot reflected rays conspire,
And melon rind her siren snare hath lain,
The heels of him fl upward and still higher.
Mercury at noon, 100 in the shade!
III.
The tame confding pigeon slowly flies,
Faint, though burnt feathers watt her in the air,
The horse impatiently his tail ap plies,
Hoping 'gainst hope, the hungry flies to scare;
Policemen pant upon their weary beat;
Deserted is the Parks alluring seat,
Only the sparrows in chirping quire,
Or the reporter-lest some fact transpire
Whereof a thrilling item may be made
Sit where the fountains crystal jets aspire.
Mercury al noon, 100 in the shaded
".
Or If the citizen, all exhausted, HES
Him to the seaside, or high places, where
The mountains sit in kingy companies,
Heat and discomfort follow even there.
In deepest thicket of his far retreat
Foes find him-for example the mosquito
o. and black fly 1.-THE ant, a busy plier
oflaudable industry, stingeth as a brier;
Poisoned ofivy, and by nettes fayedN
Strong language useth the disguised squire.
Mercury at noon, 100 in the shade!
o that dense clouds might gather and arise,
An army called to battle by the blaze
OF thunder-trumpets, and their red allies,
The lghtnings, war against the sun declare.
Or failing to connect with this conceit
Which, may be said en- parentheSe, is neat
The mind of man is TUNED toward thin attire
With hopeless yearning and with vain desire,
For linen coat shall not, nor Panama braid,
Bring him surcease of grief though he expire.
Mercury at noon, 100 10 the shade!

KAlsoMIsING PARLoR WALLS.

1t is q popular error to believe that
the materials for kalsomining are very
expensive, and also that few men have
sufiicient skill to apply the liquid even
after it has been properly prepared.
For this reason, people are frequently
deceived into paying eXorbitant prices
for this kind of work.
The materials employed are good
clear glue, Paris white, and water.
Paris white is sold by tho druggists for
two to three cents per pound. timer
ant kalsominers frequently charge
twenty-five cents per pound, as "they
use nothing but the genuine silver pol
ish. which is scarce, and very eX-
pensive."
In case tho wall of II large room, say
sixteen by twenty feet square, is to be
kalsomined with two coats, it will re-
uuire about onc-fourth of u pound of
iipht-colored glue and five or six
pounds of Paris white. Soak the glue
over night, in u tin vessel containing
about quart of warm water. II the
kalsomino is to be applied the next
day, add pint more of clean water to
the glue, and set the tin vessel contain
ing the glue into a kettle Of boiling
water over tho fire, and continue to
stir the glue until it is we'll Dissolved
and quite thin. If the glue pail be
placed in a kettle of boiling water, the
glue will not be scorched. Then, after
putting the Paris white into II large
water pail, pour on hot water, and stir
it until tho liquid appears like thick
milk. Now mingle the glue-liquid
with the whiting, stir it thoroughly,
and apply to the wall with white
brush or with large paint brush. 1t
is of little consequence what kind of
an instrument is employed in laying
on tho kalsomine, provided tho liquid
is spread smoothly. Expensive brushes,
made expressly for kalsomining, may be
obtained ut brush factories, and at
some drug and hardware stores. But
a good brush, having long and thick
hair, will do very we'll. In case the
liquid is so thick that it will not flow
from the brush so as to make smooth
work, add n little more hot water.
When applying tho kalsomine, stir
it frequently. Dip the brush often,
and only so deep in tho liquid rs to
take as much as tho hair will retain
without letting large drops fall to the
floor. If too much glue be added, the
kalsomine cannot be laid on smoothly,
and will be liable to crack. The aim
should DO to apply thick layer of
sizing that cannot be brushed off with
o broom or dry cloth. A thin coat
will not crack. - Manufacturer and
Builder.

he held by the legs n live chicken, in
