COOLING SHOWERS.

Throughout the city yesterday there was feeling
of dread that 1t was only the first hot day of a
heated term. Az fear on this head was happily set
at rest by the gathering clouds which gradually
ovorspread the sky during Intervening, and no more
welcome thunderstorm has ever washed the streets
and cleaned the air of New-YOrk than that which
broke over the city shortly at er eight O'Clock and
continued with little intermIsslon until after mid
night

Better Late than Never,

1t is not an uncommon thing to hear
young men complain that their early
schooling was deficient in quantity, poor in
quality, or--if neither of these-was wasted
through boyish indifference and folly. They
would got on better in life if they knew
more, they are FREQ to admit, but they do
not see that they arc daily wasting opportu.
mites which, if improved, would 10 few
years give them a fairly good education.
They think themselves too old to learn.
and spond more time regrotting their lack
of knowledge than would suffice to give
them the knowledge they need. It's said
that the father Of Professor Summer, of
Yale College, could neither write nor road
when he came to this country, young
mechanic. Within twenty years thereafter
10 was known as one of the best read men
in Hartford, ono Of tho most cultivated
communities in the country. Iustoad of
wasting his time in idle regrets for his def.
oient schooling, no learned to read, and
read to good purpose. In similar way
many of the best, most honored and most
successful men our country has known
have begun their acquaintance with letters
after reaching manhood; and there is no
reason why the most ilitorato mechanic in
our land, if possessed Of natural ability
and sincere purpose, may not increase his
enjoyment in life, his opportunities for
improving his social and financial condition
and the chances of his family for tho high

A Book Agent Meets Her Match.

A very prepossessing young lady, can
wasting for popular book, stepped into
the Office of broker, and finding him ap
parently at leisure, asked him TO look at
her book. The gentleman informed her
that it would only be a waste of time, as
he could not purchase it.
"Oh, never mind that !" calculated the
vivacious young woman; sit won't cost
anything to look at it, even if you don't

portions Of it, and see what il Ia

Il was about nine o'clock when he com.

when the book.ageut hogan to show signi

At noon the broker was still reading, ana

Scenes on Lake Tahoe.

Lake Tahos Is 0 great fresh water body
twelve miles south Of Truokee. II lies il
two States, California and Nevada; three
quarters in California and the remainder
in Nevada. Tahoe is an Indian name
meaning big water or deep water. Here
at an elevation Of a mile and quarter
above the ocean, sheltered in It's rock,
bound basin, rests this inland sea, twenty
Eve miles long and ten wide. Its blue
waters are enclrclra by bills mosaiced with
trees Of evergreen aud patches of pure
white snow. Pebbles may be counted and
trout may be seen sporting at the depth
Of eighty feet, so clear and smooth is the
water. Il changes color according to the
depth, from beautiful pea green at the
shore to an indigo blue.
IL has been sounded to depth Of 1000
feet, and Is so cold, even in summer, that
the water when taken from below the sur
face, Is near to the freezing paint, although
ii never freezes In the coolest weather.
Fish abound 10 the waters near the shore,
among which are four varieties Of trout,
The silver trout is considered the finest,
and Is always taken in deep water, some
times weighing thiriytwo pounds.
On account Of the variety Of the atmos-
phero the waters are not very buoyant,
objects sinking like lead, nothing eyer
floats on the surface, Great logs which
have escaped from the loggers, soon sink
and are seen no more. At times the lake
is calm and peaceful as smiling babe,
again il is in moment dashed to fury and
beaten to foam by the winds that spring
up 10 the canons and sweep across lis wa
tiers. But look at tho lake where aud
whea you will, il Is scene Of beautiful
grandeur which pen and pencil have striyen
IL vain to portray, You must sec il to be
satisfied. Philadelphia Press.

In the business Of life it is the pains
taking man-who, 10 the Language Of
Franklin, takes care Of the pence, know
ing that the pounds will take care OF
themselyes--that Is the most sure to BE-
the most successful one; so, in the prodnc-
tion Of the soil, there are many Of the
small matters grown on our farms, which,
II properly husbanded aud marketed, would
yield greater profit to the owners than
the great crops-the cereals and tobacco,
&c BY diligent care and management IN
marketing, the butter aud eggs, and fowls
Of every kind, the quarters Of lamb and
Of veal, the large and small fruits aud
vegetables grown in the truck patch, could
be made 10 produce larger net profit
than is generally gained from the sale Of
the larger crops of most Of the smaller
farms in the neighborhood Of the cities
and towns Of our country As an in
stance Of the value Of the smaller things.
We have in an official paper from Colonel
A. Z. Jones, Of the Agricultural Depart
ment Of Washington, the following facts,
which viii astonish many Of our readers
who have not given the subject their. at
tention. lie says that ssthe abundance Of
the fruit crop Of the United States Is ono
one of the most gratifying results Of the
progress Of agriculture In this country
In the strip between the Delaware aud
Chesapeake bays more than Eve million Of
peach trees blossom annually. The Gran
berry has been found to be very profitable
IN Minnesota, where in 1877 there was a
crop Of forty thousand bushels, of the value
Of at least $3.50, 900 The European dc.
mand for American fruits increases with
the supply and proves to be very generally
remunerative. There is fruit enough rails.
ed in the United States to supply both our
own country and Europe. The first ex-
portation Of apples was made thirty years
ago, when apples demanded from Sc to So
barrel in Liverpool That city now re.
eeiyes 10000 barrels OF American apples
annually. The value Of fruits exported
last year was S2,937 ops. The exporta.
ton of canned fruit is rapidly increasing.
The supply Of dried fruit has never been
equal to the demand. The extraordinary
increase in the production within the last
few years has been met by still greater
consumption. No census Of this trade
has ever been taken. New York is the
largest fruit-produeing state, and the bulk
Of It is marketed at Buffalo. At Chicago
the trade in dried fruit is very large, as /
IS distributing point of considerable i'm
portance for the West and Northwest
The Secretary of the Board of Trade /,
