Summer in Norway.

The Norwegian house is one'hali
window. In their long Winters they
need all the sun they can get; not an
outside blind, not an inside shutter, not
a dark shade to be seen. Streaming,
flooding, radiating in and round about
the rooms comes the light, welcome or
unyelcome, early and late. And to the
words "early" and "lste" there are in
a Norway Summer new meanings. The
early lieht OF the Summer morning sets
in about hali.past 2, the late light OF the
Summer evening fades into luminous
twilight about IL. Enjoyment OF this
species OF perpetual day soon comes to
an end. After the traveller has written
home to everybody once by broad day
lisht at 10 O'Clock the fun OF the thing
il over: normal sleepiness begins TO
hunger for its rights, and dissatisfaction
tskes the place OF wondering amuse-
ment. This dissatisfaction reaches its
climax in q few days; then, II he is
wise, the traveller provides himself with
several pieces a dark green cambria,
which he pins up at his windows at bed
time. thereby making it possible to get
seven or eight hours rest for his tired
ewes. But the green cambria will not
shut out sounds; and he is lucky il he
is not kept awake until ! or 2 o'clt cS
every night by the unceasipg tread aid
loud chatter Of the cheerful Norwegians,
who have been forced to form the habit
of sitting up half their nighttime to
get in the course OF year their full
quota Of daytime.-Ths Atdrtfe.

How to Water in o Drouth.

Practical Farmer.
In the summer drouths which now
and then occur it is common to see per
sons every where at work watering the
garden to keep things alive till the reeu-
lar rain comes. 1t is, however, the ex-
perienee OF all that the more the garden
il yatered, the more it wants, and thus
on the whole it does little good. Yet
water can be 30 given as to be Tree from
this objection. 1t is the hardening OF
the surface which causes the evil, and a
hard, compact surface always dries out
faster than loose one. The proper
wsv ia TO take the earth away for q few
inches around the plant to be wstered,
40 as to make a sort of basin, and INTO
tlris pour the water, letting it gradually
soak away. After it has all disappeared
and the surface gets a little drv' then
drsw he earth back again which had
heen displaced 10 make the basin. This
viii make q loose surface over the
watered part, which will preserve II
from drying out rapidly, Tomatoes,
COO plants, csbbases and other plants OF
this Character watersd in this way VIII
need no renewal OF water for several
weeks. 1t is SLOW way OF getting sncs
work done. but it ia the..only sure way
of doing il.

A Good Exchange.

Harper's Young People.
Once upon time poor boy, the son
of a widow, went out to gather straw
berries. He well knew the paths OF the
forest. and the place where the berries
grew thickest and sweetest. Very soon
his joyful cry was heard:
Hello, hello, Zisgsleckl
Ich hoa mel Tippls Bodendeck!
And as he gathered the ripe fruit he
sang in merry tones:
Hello, hello. Koalkl
Ich hoa mel Utopia hoalb!
Hello, hello, Kuhll
Ich hoa mel 1ippla yuhlP'
Soon his earthen dish was full, and the
how started for home. As he turned his
steps into the narrow path, he heard
from the rocky side of the pathway q
voice saying in entreating tones, fray
give me thy berries"
The lad turned in fright, and saw q
little old man with long gray beard,
and worn, faded garments, who looked
kindly upon him as he repeated, "Pray
give me thy berries"
But" said the lad, 81 must take the
berries to my mother, who 10 obliged to
sell them to buy US bread"
"And l." said the little old man:
"baye a sick wife at home, who would
be greatly comforted and refreshed by
them"
The lads heart was filed with pity.
He thought to himself, 81 will give him
the berries for his sick wife, and II am
industrious, can again I'll my dish be-
fore niphtfall." Then he said to the
little man: eyes you may have them.
Where shall l empty them for you"
eve will exchange Dishes" was the
answer. "See, you may have mine,
which is empty, and l will take yours,
which is filed. Mine is brand new, but
no matter"
Thereupon the lad gave the little old
man his berries and received in return
the new but empty vessel; and the gray
bearded man with a smile uttered bis
thanks.
The boy took the dish and fastened
back to the forest. Soon he came to
the place where the berries grew thick
est and sweetest, and having replenish-
ed his store, again joyfully turned his
steps homeward.
When he arrived at home he related
to his mother what had happened to
him in the forest, and with delight dis
PLAYED the new dish" The mother
her son for the kindness he
had manifested toward the little man.
then took the vessel in her hands and
examined it carefully.
"Ah! happy are we, my child" she
exclaimed. 1.-THE dish is pure gold;
See how it spsrklesI 1t is the little old
man of the forest who has thus reward
ed you for your goodness. Now thanks
TO him, We are ricn; but we will never
forget the poor and the sick In their sor-
row."

reference to Tilden's health and political
plans Col. Condo has been IN the CITY

aueried the scribe.
AIT has never been better in the past
ten wears. He looks decidedly younger
and fresher than he did when he made
the campaign of 1875 His spirits are
exuberant, and he is animated by the
ambition OF a younger man.

with knowing smile which sanctioned
the rumor, "that he will be candidate

THE GARFIELD FUND.
The Certificates for $4,000
4 Per:Cents. Now in the Hands
of the Presidents Wife.

NY. Tribune.
Although no special effort has been
made by the promoters OF the move
ment, the feeling OF anxiety concerning
the President has directed attention to
the Garfield family fund, which during
the DAYS of bis supposed recovery SEEM
ed to be slipping ont oil public notice.
Some OF the wealthiest men In the
country have privately pledged them
selves for the payment Of large sums in
case of the Presidents death, and there
is no question in the minds OF those WHO
have been active in securing subscrlp-
lions that, # the end should come which
the nation is dreading now, the amount
OF money which will voluntarily flow to
the fund will greatly exceed in the ag-
gregate the large sum originally propos-
ed. Thus far $l56,757 IS has been suts
scribed, and all Of this sum, except
5000 (which came as a conditional
subscription from Columbus, Ohio has
been paid to the United States Trust
Company. Acting under theconditions
oi.the trust this company has purchased
aud now holds for the fund $l25 900 Of
United States 4 per cent. registered
bonds, on which the interest is s., 900

and last night there was cash balance
with the Trust Company OF $6,476 40.

the change more or less, and suffer-; and
il science does, "a is alleged, give them
a compensation in improved health and
serenity, even il il be in part uncon'

fancy it does it in some degree-though
science has accomplished 80 little, either
for the deal or blear-eyed-for 1t has
done much for the rheumatic, much Tor
the feeble digestions, and much, very
much, for that tendency to kind OF
ague, which half q century since was 40
nearly q universal misfortune among
the old; but the facts are not very clear.
The Inauguration of the old relieves
most the sum of human suffering, but
for the benefit of the world at large 1t Is,
We suspect, in mature age that more
health and longer time are required.
There is plenty of youthful energy in
the world. Men are dashiog over the
earth as they never did before, and for
every enterprise, whether Of danger or
of profit, volunteers are only too many
as many almost as conscripts. 1t Is
in wisdom, not energy, that the supply
fails, and It is from the better health oil
the experienced, which would imply
energy longer continued into the time
when experience ripens, that the world
has most to hope. Ii the period OF life
between IS and 60 could be stretched
ten years the world would gain indeh-
nitely, for its guides, the statesmen and
the thinkers, would have time to utilize
their knowledge in active effort. AS 1t
is, after so all but select few die OF de-
spair, or recede, and the helm passes
away to new hands, controlled by minds
which Just as they become rioh lose
their energy or their hope, and the hall
of experience is wasted, while the re.
mainder is applied under feeling OF

there is no time remaining. II science

An incident illustrating how circum-
stantial evidence might be made to in
criminate innocent parties occurred
Tuesday night when young Osborn at
tempted suicide in Philip Hubhard's
house. Upon hearing the shot which
Osborn fred at himself, the startled men,
beers OF the household rushed to the
room where Osborn was and found that
he had shot himself. He had dropped
the revolver to the floor and pressed his
hand over his wound. One occupant OF
the house, confused by the affair, not
knowing what to do first and Ignorant OF
the extent of Osborn's injuries, Yielded
to the impulse to seize the revolver and
secrete it.
The next day the same person, hay.
ING recovered somewhat from the ex-
element of the affair and realizing that
trouble might arise il Osborn should die
and the fact OF the secretion OF the weap-
on should be discovered, wasgreatly con-
canned about the matter and mention.
ed it to the attending physician, being
solicitous as to whether the wounded
man would recover. There is not the
first particle of doubt that the fellow
shot himself, and the incident is COM

such an occurrence, and how innocently
