RULES FOR SUMNER.

The first rule which the summer
should teach us to observe is that Of do
ing everything deliberately. Locomo-
ton should be reduced to minimum.
Happy is he who from all the fret and
turmoil and worry of life has learned the
lesson Of taking the shady side of the
street-nay, more, Of seeking streets
of which both sides are shady. Thrice
happy is he who, when he advances in
the morning to his daily work, can main
tain certain elaboration, keeping
guard over his pace, and never for a mo-
ment forgetting that there is warm
and cool way of doing everything. A
little care makes deal of difference.
Whoever starts out furiously may put
himself into fever for the day beyond
the curative power of ice, of juleps, OF
of fans. There is method for the sea-
son if we can only maintain it. The
whole matter amounts to no more than
that we must take good care of ourselves,
and be simply sensible.

81 PLEASANT GIRL"

A traveller in Norway came to vii
lage, early one morning, and was struck
by the air of gloom which pervaded the
streets. Unable to speak word of the
language, he could not ask the cause o.
this, and concluded that some sickness
or financial trouble had fallen upon the
community.
AS the day wore toward noon, how.
ever, the houses were closed, shop win.
dows were covered, all trade and bust
ness ceased. 1t was q death, then?
Presently he saw the people gather
ing for the funeral. There were the
village officials, the nobleman from the
neighboring chateau, and apparently
every man, woman and child in the vii
lage. It must be some dignitary of the
church who was dead, OF some county
official,
AS he stood watching the crowds
passing down the little rocky street, he
caught sight of the face of a German
known to him. He beckoned to him.
"The town has lost some great mag.
nate, apparently?' he said.
"Ah, no. It is only young maiden
who is dead. No. She was not beauti-
full nor rich. But oh, such pleasant
girl, monsieur! All the world seems
darker now that she is dead p
It is a singular fact that, when we
reach middle life and look back, it is not
the beautiful, nor the brilliant, nor the
famous people whom we have known,
that we remember with the keenest re-
greet; but some simple, sincere, "pleas-
ant " soul, whom we treated as an every
day matter while she was with us.
Go into family, or social circle, or
even into ballroom, and the woman
who has the most friends there, as a
rule, is not the belle, nor the wit, nor
the heiress, nor the beauty but some
homely, charming little body. whose
fine tact and warm heart never allow her
to say wrong word in wrong place.
The pleasant women" are the at
traction that everywhere holds society
and homes together. Any woman, how
ever poor or ugly, may be one of them ;
but she must first be candid, honorable,
unselfsh and loving. IF she is these,
the world will be better and happier for
every day of her life, and, as in the case
of this poor Norwegian, it will "seem
darker when she is dead"

SUI Spots.

Once in about eleven years, the sun
completes spot-cycle. Its commence
ment is marked by period of great
solar activity, when spots for two OF
three years are numerous and large
upon its surface. These gradually dis
appear, and the sun remains more or
less quiescent during the remainder of
the time.
A new spot-cycle is now in full action.
Portions of the huge blazing surface of
the sun are dotted with spots. They
throng the solar territories, appearing
In rows, or groups, OF more frequently
the large spots are surrounded by fami-
lies Of small ones. They are of enor-
nous dimensions. Some are so large
that our whole globe might be rolled
continents would not cover others, while
many are so small that they can be,seen
only in telescopes Of high power.
Some of these spots will continue for
months, others will quickly disappear,
and others will break up into small ones,
while new ones will more than fill the
deserted places, and give variety to the
ever-changing exhibition.
Sun-spots, seen through the telescope,
present very curious appearance. The
central part, or umbra, is black; the
border, or penumbra, is usually of a
grayish tint and, surrounding the spots
for thousands of miles, the suns surface
seems to be piled into ridges, dotted with
groups of small shining spots, called
faculg, from a Latin word meaning
"small torches
The wisest astronomers cannot tell
with certainty the cause of sun-spots, or
give reason for the occurrence of the
outbreak once in eleven years. 1t IS
well-established that there is an init
mate relation between sun-spots and
terrestrial magnetism. It is strongly
affirmed that the disturbed condition of
the sun at this period is reflected on the
earth in northern lights, waves of in
tense heat, and storms of unusual sever
ity. The devastating tornadoes and
cyclones at the West, and the display of
arlroral light in Scottish skies, lend their
aid to support this theory.
A fascinating field of observation is
thus laid open before intelligent observ-
ers. Three things are to be watched
for, the occurrence of great storms, the
approach of heat wave, and the ap-
pearance of the northern lights. Clear
headed observers can work at these
problems even if they are not trained
astronomers for, if ever the cause Of
sun-spots and the reason Of their peri
odicity are made clear, the work will be
accomplished by close and long-contin-
ued observation.

IN INTELLIGENT DOG.

Rover, the most intelligent dog in
Connecticut, has fallen victim to pois-
oned meat. His master, Mr.. Disbrow,
of Bridgeport, used to converse with
him freely, and the dog, looking up with
intense gr:.vity, always understood what
was said to him. At the word of COM
mand he would go down stairs and close
or open the door, OF climb upon GER
tain chair and place his paw upon GER
tain article named. He would some
times make slight failure at the first
trial, and would then appear deeply
abashed, but on the second or third at
tempt he invariably succeeded. In this
respect he differed from the ordinary
trick-dog, as few of the acts which the
dog sometimes performed at his masters
orders, for the benefit Of visitors, had
ever been rehearsed. AS an illustration
Of what the animal would do, Mr.. Dis
brow, at friends suggestion, told him
once to go to the news-room and get his
morning paper. The dog had never
been sent on the errand before, but, for
all that, executed it faithfully. He sub
sequently fell out of the habit, but at
the word Of command, about two weeks
ago, went to the news-room and got the
paper again, although he had not done
the errand for the previous four months.
This was another of the incidents re-
lated by Mr.. Disbrow of the dogs clev-
erness Mr.. Terry usually had charge
of Rover when [ was absent" said he,
'but lately lady friend down Main
street, who knew I was going away, pro-
posed that the dog should come down to
her house and stay until I returned. I
ageeed, and the next two nights Rover
went down there and stayed, although
he never did such thing before OF
since" Rover seemed to feel his SUI
periority over the rest of the dog screa-
ton, as he generally trotted by other
dogs on the street without offering to
make their acquaintance, or accepting
their attentions.

TOO KIND.

Well-meaning people often blunder In
following their own kind instincts there
are occasions when the attentions of
others are burdensome. In times of ILL
ness the "kind inquiries T" of friends
might frequently be dispensed with. At
a season when the whole resources of
a household are severely taxed to meet
the demand made upon them for addi-
tional attention and labor, and when the
house should be kept as quiet as posi-
BILE, it is quite one servants duty to at
tend to the door and give satisfactory
answer to the numerous callers. Indeed,
the immediate attendants upon the sick
may consider themselves fortunate If
some Of the more importunate do not
force their way to the drawing-room and
make demands on patience and strength
already overstrained. Each post, too,
brings piles of letters requiring at least
few lines in answer if dire offense is to
be avoided. Only those who have en-
dured this ordeal can understand its
annoyances. To households undergoing
it, bulletin-board would be of inesti-
mable benefit.

THE LION AND THE RABBIT.

On one occasion lion, who was ont
to air his teeth and lord it over the small
fry, encountered rabbit in the forest.
The rabbit was about to stink away
without word when the lion, desirous
of impressing on the whole rabbit tribe
his great importance, called up the little
victim and began:
"Tell me what you have to live for
You cannot roar you cannot fight al
most every animal in the forest can
make you fly in alarm. 1t seems to me
that if I belonged to such small pota-
toes I would as soon be dead"
eff nature had made us all lions, "
humbly replied the rabbit, 'there
would be nothing for us to prey upon,
and hardly room enough for us all to
move about. had rather be a rabbit
than nothing at ALL
"There may be philosophy in that, y
continued the lion, "but when I roar
men tremble; when spring my victim
falls. I knock down and drag out I
boss the job; I am the Chairman of the
convention, as it were. IF I were such
a bob-tailed, insignificant creature as
you are, I would hide my head. Why,
I can knock you over with one swing OF
my tail!'
He whisked it around to back up mis-
assertion, and 10 it caught in crevice
in the rocks and he was fast. The
harder he pulled the worse was his fix,
and his roars of rage guided some bush
men to the spot, and they quickly dis
patched him.
seas for me" said the rabbit, as he
loped away, CT neither roar nor lash,
and while the great lion lies dead I
never felt better in my life."
Despise not the bob-tailed triAes of
life. A bee is not as big as butterfly,
but he'll upset Sunday-school picnic
ten times as quick.

FUTURE OF THE REPUBLIC.

When, in 1776, the thirteen North
American colonies put forth that Dec
laration of Independence which pre-
luded the birth of nation, the combined
white population inhabiting them did
not exceed two and half million souls.
Yet they had the courage to throw down
The gage Of battle to power "with
which" in Daniel Webster's words, "for
purposes of foreign conquest and subiu-
cation, Rome, in the height of her
glory, was not to be compared; power
which has dotted over the surface of the
whole globe with her possessions and
military posts, whose morning drum-beat,
following the sun and keeping company
with the hours, circles the earth with
one continuous and unbroken strain of
martial airs of England" Fourteen
years later came, In 1870, the
first census of population taken in the
United States, and it was found that with
in the borders of the young nation there
was not quite 100000 souls. At the
expiration of ten years it appeared, upon
taking the second census, that the popu-
lation was little more than five and
quarter millions, having increased be-
tween 1890 and 1900 at the rate of 35
per cent In short time the tenth CEN
sus Of what has long been a mighty
people will be taken, and we risk little
in saying that, in Joseph Hume's phrase,
"the tottle of the whole will show
population of at least 100000 espe-
cially if the immigrants, who are now
pouring into the United States in vast
numbers, are not omitted from the cal
culation. In other words, the popula-
ton of the great republic of 1880 viii
be their population in 1776 multiplied by
twenty, and, were it likely that the same
ratio Of increase could be maintained
for another century, the mind Of man
would sink before the effort of imagin-
ing what it is possible for the monster
republic to be in 1880. However bound
less the resources Of the North American
continent may be, it can hardly be ex-
pected that the second centenary of the
United States will be celebrated by q
thousand million beings, and such would
be the result of multiplying $4,000, 900
by twenty. Anyhow, it is certain that
a century hence no such assemblage of
men speaking the same language and
amenable to the same general traditions
of feeling, habit and education, will ever
have been gathered together upon earth
as will then occupy the great western
continent. London Telegraph.
