The Second Summer /.

The American year has two sum-
mers. The first includes the months OF
June, July and August, and the second
the months of September and October.
The first summer is for rest, the second
for activity. In our climate the two
latter months commonly exhibitth per-
fection of weather. The torrid, exhaust
ing weeks of the hot solstice are gone,
and time of brightness and warmth with
out burning has come. The nights and
mornings are invariably cool and brac-
ing, and sleep, for the first time since
Nav, can be counted upon as certain
luxury. In the middle of the day the
sun, is kind. but not more than kind.
It is 4 season adapted, as no other is, to
u combination of outdoor and indoor
pleasures. There are the mornings for
exercise, the afternoons for reading OF
what you please, the evenings for the
most enjoyable of entertainments, and
the dark hours for q variety of rest not
to be had in July and August. The
country is especially referred to-rot
the city-and those who really love the
country for what it can give them, as
well as for what it can deliver them
ffom,t should not hasten to return
to town simply because the date
ssSeptember lst'' appears on the tops OF
their letters and bills. OF course, busi-
ness is business, and many must leave
their summer hatlnts willy-nilly. NeaC

Japanese PoIiteness.

The Japanese are born polite. Their
parents were, and these in turn, came
from centuries of polite ancestors. As
an infant, the natixe's soft bones and
waxen mind took shape from the nation
al mold. From his mothers apron
strings-no figure here he passed into
the judicious care of elderly gentle
women, learned in department, who in
structed him, through years of pupil
age, till proficient in all niceties OF an
etiquette which, as we shall see, ap-
preached to the character of an exact
science. Arrived at years of discernment,
he could not fail to perceive that he
notsmerely should be but must be gen
tleinan. Decorum was part of his duty
as citizen, and rudeness q breach of the
peace, if not indeed capital offence. A
dues observance of the ceremonies was
statutory law, and violation of them a
which rendered the offend
er liable to the severest penalties which
the linked tyrarnies of law and fashion
could devise. Tba2R - I'D

A Rams Head in a Strange Place.

Quite a curiosity was found few DAYS
ago near the camp of the workmen on
the new toll-road, near Yankee Fork,
New. It is mountain rams head deep
ly imbedded in pine tree and about six
feet from the ground The right horn is
outside and curls partly round the tree,
while the front of the skull and most of
the left horn is covered with the growth of
wood The tree is a thrifty pine, fifteen
inches through How that rana's head
came there will always remain asinys-
terry to scientists, but men of the noun
tains. who are familiar with the fighting
propensities of the wild buck, can easily
explain it. The ram whose head is now
part of the tree stood on the upper side
Of the hill H..swhile his enemy stood near
what was then pine sapling. When
the present relic made a rush at ram No.
2 the latter stepped to one side, and the
old warriors head coming in contact
with the young tree split it wide enough
for one horn to. enter. and he was left
dangling at the mercy of his foe. The
rest is easily guessed. The survivor of
the fight deliberately butted his unfor-
tunate adversary until there was nothing
lett of him but the skull and horns fast
in the wood. Fred Myers, one of the
proprietors of the toll-road. will have the
part of the tree containing theram's head
sent to the Smithsonian Institute.

sonash-Ne,v e 4. g and Ola seed. Il,

Tie .A,neTicas Cs1ltiuator describes an
experiment made with one acre of
squash, one-hali planted with seed, one
year old, and one-half with seed two
years old. BY July lst the growth of
the vines seemed uniform on the entire
field, those on that part of the field sown
with old seed having gained upon the
Others, which were larger from the start.
The first sduashes from this field were
gathered July 4. and at that time more
THAN double the quantity were picked
from the vines from new seed than were
gathered from that portion sown with
oldsseed Since that date, however, the
vines from theiold seed have been gain
| ing, and are now yielding very nearly as
many squashes as the new seed. So that
thus far the difference between old and
new seed, in this instance. seems to be
that the new seed is earlier in growth Of
vine and yield of fruit, and the old seed
| is later, though coming on finally as sat
isfactorily in yield as the new seed.
