The Weather and the Mind.

Dull, depressing, gloomy days pro-
duce dispiriting reflections and gloomy
thoughts, aud small wonder when we
remember that the mind is not only a
motive. but receptive organ, aud that
all the impressions it receives from
without reach it through the medium of
senses which are directly dependent on
the condition of light and atmosphere
for their action, and therefore imme-
diately influenced by the surrounding
conditions. 1t is a common sense in
ference that if the impressions from
without reach the mind through i'm
perfectly y-acting organs OF sense,
and those impressions are them
selves set in q minor aesthetic key OF
color, sound and general qualities, the
mind must be what is called "moody".
1t is not the habit of sensible people tc
make sufficient allowance for this ra'
tionale of dullness and subjective
weakness. Some persons are more de
pendent on external circumstances ant
conditions for their energies or the
stimulus that converts potential kineti'
forces-than others; but all feel the in
fuence of the world without, and to thi
influence the sick and the weak are
especially responsive. Hence the vary
ing temperaments OF mind changing
with the weather. the outlook and th'
J wind,

How Shot are Made,

A shot.tower is certainly o curious
place to the uninitiated visitor, and the
process of manufacturing the leaden
missiles is most interesting. OF course
it is necessary that the shot should fall
from a considerable elevation, and the
height of many of the towers is over
two hundred feet. AS pure lead will
not make perfect globules, it is neses
sarily tempered" This "teEper" is
prepared by the addition OF ingredients,
of which arsenic is the main property.
It is run into bars convenient for use,
aud with pig-lead, hoisted to the top Of
the tower. Here are two small rooms,
one about twelve feet below the other,
and each containing two huge
kettles in which the pig-lead and
the "temper" are melted. From one
or the other of the two kettles in both
rooms-as each room has O separate
shaft-streams of shot are constantly
flowing. At the bottom of each kettle
the molten stuff pours into square pans
perforated at one side. These perfora-
tions are large or small, according to the
size of shot desired, and separate the
mass into distinct, delicate. cleaning
streams, which in turn, as they come in
contact with the atmosphere, sepa-
rate into perfect globules or shot, which
are cooled in their two hundred feet
journey and the water into which they
fall below.

The Cup that Cheers,

There is, perhaps, no beverage the
world over so popular as the cup of
tea, so potent to brace the nerves, so
conducive to domestic comfort end
cheerful, innocent gossip. If one has
headache, is chilled or weary, the cup
of tea revitalizes and kindles the ex-
hausted flame of energy and spilits /; it
is the small currency of hospitality. Is
it not the gentle tea leaf which
brilgs.kindred spirits togetherp Has
not one OF the most important and
social meals of the day taken its
name from that insinuating plant
What is home without cup
of tea And when would the o'clock
tea have found favor or votaries under
any other name? Is it not the moving
spirit of the sewing circle? and who
ever heard of fortune being told from
coffee grounds or chocolate dregs9 is
any cordial more delicious than iced
tea on a scorching July day? In
Southey's division of his days work it
was tea which ushered in poetry, while
DIR. johnson may have favored many
an essay with the effusion, and who can
tell but we owe "Rasselas" to its exhil-
arating effects, "when with tea he
amused the evening, with tea So
laced the midnight, and with tea
welcomed the morning?" Like woman's
rights and other eternal verities, it had
a battle to fight before acquiring its
present position in the world. 1t was
prescribed by physicians, denounced by
the essayists, sneered at by the wits and
poets. 1t was supposed to provoke
scandal, and even to this day the sus-
| picion is not obsolete. Yet a present OF
tea was thought to be suitable for roy
atty to receive, since in 1864 we are told
that the East India company sent the
queen two poundsl 1t was doubtless re-
served for high days and holidays in early
times, and was not poured out for poor
relations, nor sent into the kitchen;
but familiarity, instead of damaging its
reputation, has recommended 1t to
greater favor; and the poor working
people who allow themselves no lux
uries regard the cup of tea as friend
and necessity. 81 am glad was not
born before tea" said Sydney Smith,
one of whose recipes against mel
ancholy is kettle singing on
the hob. AS there is risht
way to boil an egg, so there
is right way to prepare the stimulating
beverage. In China the wealthy make
it by pouring boiling water into cur
in which some of the tea leaves have
been placed, and it would, perhaps, be
well il We followed their example, in
stead of allowing it, as many do to
boil, as il the whole object was to ex'
tract the bitter tannin. We do inlus-
tioe to the genial herb--whose native
country is wrapped in mystery, although
It is found wild in India-by making

Invocation to Summer Rain.

Oh gentle, gentle summer rain,
Let not the silver lily pine,
The dropping lily pine in vain
To feel that dewy touch Of thine
To drink thy freshness once again,
Oh gentle, gentle summer rain

The cattle pant beneath the treei
Through parching air and purple skies
The earth loc xs up in vain, for thee;
For thee--for nee, II looks in vain,
Oh gentle, emile summer rain.
Come then and brim the meadow streams,
And soften all the hills with mist
Oh falling dew from burning dreams
By thee shall herb and flower be kissed.
And earth shall bless thee yet again,
Oh gentle, gentle summer rain.

were just two young ladies in a similar
state of independent s~ingleness.

Voices Heard wher There Are None
souls Not OF This World
Communicated with.

In an interview with a LEADER re-
porter Mrs. Stephens, whose notice will
be seen elsewhere, disclosed herself as
being in direct communication with
the spirit world. Our reporter, who
had never before seen a spiritual
list, expressed his establishment at this
assumption, and on stating that this
was a gift that he thought only be-
longed to people similar to the ancient
prophets, Mrs. Stephens assured him
that she was as positive of it as she
breathed. She described the gift as
having come to her when she was a
child. I'm my young lIfe," she said,
81 was continually hearing voices and
seeing persons, but | thought it was
the voice of God, and / supposed every
body heard those voices and saw what
did, and it was not until | was much
| older that l discovered / was a
medium" That she firmly believes in
what she says no one car doubt, but ii
staggers the ordinary practical mind to
accept it as his own belief. That God
should raise up a class of people with
such marvellous %prerogative in this
busy, practical and scientific age so
exceeds the range of the Christian's
faith, in the supernatural, that were it
to find general credence, people would
flock to all s~piritualists, as those
especially Amounted to work out
whatp Certainly it does us no good to
be in communication with spirits OF
our dead relatives. According to Mrs.
| Stephens own admissions, they do not
| give us any advice about working out
the great ends of life. In the interview
spoken of, she did not know Tor can she
tell?l whether they are speaking from
the Celestial land or hades. II spir

of our people than are convinced she

JOLIET PENIrENrIAKY.
Some of the Cast-Steel Rules GoveTn
Ing the Convicts.

One of II attorneys received a
letter yesterday from q former client,
now an inmate of the %penitentiary at
Joliet, III. The letter is a%anovelty, in
that 1t contains the printed rules of the
institution respecting correspondence
as a heading. We present the printed
matter entire !:
Parties corresponding with prison
ers must observe carefully the following
directions, viz: =
Write plainly; confine yourself
strictly to family and business matters.
In directing letters, put prisoners name
and register number plainly on
envelope.
I'm sending papers, Use stamps
enough to insure delivery. Write
nothing on papers except name and
register number.
"Daily papers are not admitted. All
letters and papers are examined.
'sPrisoners can write but once in
five weeks, and see friends but once in
eight weeks. No food or wearing
apparel sen to prisoners will be adj
mitted."
Then follows these instructions to the
prisoner as to writing:
"Do not interline. Put but one line
of writing on each ruled line. Put full
address of your letter here; give town,
county, and state. Put your name and
register number here"
From the above rules it will be seen
that prisoners may as well be buried
for a month or two at a time. Ignor.
ance is encouraged by the exclusion of
daily papers, while the edict respecting
the prohibition of writing, or seeing
friends is positively cruel, and adds to
the punishment. Inasmuch as the
letters of prisoners are read by the
prison officials, NJ complaint of i'll
treatment can go out, of course; but in
a place where such harsh rules are
enforced it is reasonable to suppose
that the treatment is severe. In the
penitentiary at Laramie City, or Lin
coin, Neb., prisoners can find no fault
with the regulations, but then at
Joliet our convicts are kept free of
| charge, and of course IL matters not
how they are disciplined; the tears are
theirs, the economy is for the terri
| tory.
