A house built in 1889 still stands in
Dedhan, Mass, and is the oldest in
New England 1t is beautifully situ-
ated under heavily branching elms,

The report of the Illinois state boari of
agriculture, which has just been issued, is
a most ilattering one and the farmers have
every reason to feel proud of it. IL refer
ring to the season, it says The season of
1880 has been exceptionally favoraby for
plowlng, planting, and the cultivation of
crops, as well as the most satisfactory re.
suits attending the breeding and feeding Of
live stock. The exceptions in the way of
drouth, excessive rains, injury from insects
or diseases among farm animals are unusu-
ally rare and confined to narrow limits, and
the loss theretrom will be comparatively
small in the localities where reported. The
crops are in promising condition with
scarcely an exception, and seasonable
weather until the hay and grain crops are
harvested will ensure crops much above the
average, both IN quality and quantity

the crop is now growing rapidly. Winter
wheat is much above an average in condi-

prospects are encouraging for an average

mating colored man and it means, il it
means anything, that "the time for colored
men to hold Office has not yet GOMEZ" One
thing is clear 70 our mind and that Is that
so long as his party refuses to nominate
him, the Judge will not be very apt to be
elected to any Office within its gift.
Now that summer is really here, resi-.
dents of crowded cities and towns cannot
be too careful as to their diet and personal
habits. The danger from sunstroBe or ex,
haustion is not very great for people in or
binary health but any physician will in
dorse the statement that too great care can
not be exercised TO ward off those diseases
which inevitably follow imprudence during
the heated term. Too many persons oh.
serve the same rules Of living IN the
dog days that they do IN the bracing
atmosphere Of fall and winter, and, as a
rule, they pay dearly for their imprudence.
Even in the matter Of clothing but little
care is take to provide against sudden
changes OF temperature, or during periods
of intense heat to reduce the temperature
OF the body Many persons also expose
themselves to the sun in the most reckless
manner, while others are equality impru-
dent as to the kind and quality of their
food. The latter is q most important con
sideration. The simpler and more nourish-
ing the food the better; yet how few re-
strict themselves or show the least
discrimination in selecting the supplies
for their tables during the summer months.
Frequent bathing, moderate exercise, ab-
stention as far as possible from all excite
ment, rigid supervision Of drainage, clean
illness not only in all the living rooms of
the house, but III all the obscure places
about the premises--these are safeguards
which no person, however robust his
health, can afford to disregard. The list of
ills that follow the neglect of these or
binary precautions is very long, and all are
serious in their effect upon the human
frame.
