Hot Weather Suggestions.

If we can cool ourselves, keep the
heat pressure from the top of the head
in our tropical summer weather Ivy
proper diet, surely all who have to
work, either with brain or muscle,
should know how this is done. One Of
our active octogenarians, Mr.. Eli X.
Price, is quoted us saying: 81 am as
watchful as to my food as is the smell
ter of iron, that his furnace shall not
chill or choke" 1t is rather a matter
of choke" with most people in sum-
mer; that is, their food is heavier and
more Matchmaking than is needful, and
their drinks in many cases as eXtrava-
giant and more hurtful than it would
be to keep the furnace fires going in
the house when the thermometer
stands at ninety-eight degrees in the
shade. Boards of health publish each
season hints for feeding babies; but
grown folks are equally in need and
quite as destitute of information upon
proper marketing for broiling weather.
There are cases known to physicians
where a skim-milk diet is more nOur-
ishing than the richest food, and the
hot weather needs Of the average Amer
lean worker point to the direction of
the lighter foods, with heavier purses,
according to judgment, used. Not
fasting, not privation, not scantiness,
but the foods that will do the most
good with the least exhibition of body
fuel, are wanted. Above all is the di-
gestive comfort that keeps the head
level and cool in the days when heat
strokes arc expected in cities, while
the farmer, at work in the exposed
fields, does not have to look out for
them. Hot weather has its abundant
physical uses, if only it is taken in
the right way.-Ph1adelphia Ledger.

while a thrill of horror ran through
his veins. With an iron bar he stirred
the mud, which rose thick and fast
above him !; the clear, golden light of
the water disappeared, and the diver
escaped.
"The only scare I ever had with a
fish was when 1 first went down off
the South American coast. / had a
great big crowbar in my hand, which,
perhaps, was about a foot " eighteen
inches below my feet. Just beneath
me lay a huge cuttlefish fast asleep.
Of course l did not see him, and the
crowbar went clear through him. The
cuttlefish has a peculiar mode OF
attack. lie discharges a black humor'
which makes the water look like ink,
The first thing l knew it was black all

and told me it was only a cuttlefish
Not long after the cuttlefsh was
worked ashore and there was my
crowbar gone clear through him"

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

There is but one nickel mine in the
United States now in operation. 1t is
situated in Lancaster county. Penn.
1t is 200 feet deep and has been WOrked
seventeen years. The demand for this
metal is rapidly Increasing. Groupings
of nickel are fou. Il also in Madison,
Iowa and Wayne counties, Mo. The
refined metal is worth So a pound.
The Volta prize of $4,000 will be
awarded by the academies of sciences,
Paris, in December, 1887, under the
decree of June II, 1882, for the dis
covery or invention of whatever shall
render electricity applicable, economi-
cally, to one Of the following objects /:
Heat, light, chemical action, mechanical
force, the transmission of messages, Or
the treatment of sick persons.
There are produced annually in
North America 100000 barrels of
hemlock bark extract, of which Il
single Boston firm produces 10000
barrels. All the tanneries Of the United
States consume annually about $780,
900 cords of hemlock bark, produced
in nine States. AS the yield of bark is
about seven cords to an acre Of hem
lock timber, the yearly consumption
implies the clearing of $4,000 acres.
Secretary Fisher, of the Illinois de-
partment of agriculture, lately received
from Colonel John Lynch, of Olney,
ILL.,, several stools of wheat damaged
by the new wheat insect, the wheat
bulb worm. On the samples were
found specimens Of this insect in
various stages Of development, some
having as many as five active little
fellows at work sapping the life from
the plant. The egg is brown and looks
much like that Of the Hessian fly.
Some experiments noticed by DR.. A
J. Wall indicate that the bite of the
American rattlesnakei is far less deadly
than that Of certain snakes found in
other parts of the world. In four
fatal cases Of rattlesnake poisoning in
dogs the animals survived for an
average period of about two hours and
a half after being bitten and at least
five dogs experimental upon recovered
completely. The dogs bitten by the
Indian cobra all died within an average
period of less than thirty-fve minutes;
and those poisoned by the Australian
hoplocephalus lived only one hour and
tWenty-feur minutes.

The Paradise Fish.

The paradise fish have very large
fins, less developed in the female. The
brownish color Of the upper ~sidechanges
into a greenish gray on the lower side
the markings consists of changeable
yellowish green or blue and red cross
lines. Their length is from eight to
nine centimeters.
Very little is known Of these fish in
their free life. They are universally
kept in captivity in China, and treated
as our goldfish, but are more easily
propagated in a limited space.
They are better adapted for house
hold pets than other fish of this class,
as they can live in amuch less quantity
of water, and can remain out OF the
water for twenty minutes and more
without injury. Giraud brought lOO
of these fish from China, and although
during the tedious journey ne was not
able to give them sufficient room or
the necessary care and nourlshment;
twenty-five of them lived.
Benecke says that in May OF the
wear 1878 he obtained a pair OF para
disc fish. They were placed in a basin
containing about forty liters OF water.
They Immediately went to work to
devour the small crawiish and larvae
of insects which had been placed in the
vessel. After these were consumed
two crawlish, water ieas and mussels
were put in. They mussels they a
not received before, and evidently had
never eaten them, for at first they only
took hold of the little animals and then
released them with a shake OF the
head, but after a day or two they on
ate the mussels, leaving the Water aeoa
placed in the basin unmolested. One
day no mussels could be obtained, and
they ate greedily not only small but
very large a%ngle-worms, from five to
eight centimeters long and two MILL
meters thick. They always rejected
the intestines of the worms. When
the worms were put in the basin as
they were taken from the ground they
would shake them two or three times,
then let them 60, then throw them
around in the water, in order to shake
of the dirt before eating them. If the
worm struggled, they would sling it
against the water plants or the sides
of the basin.

A Womau's Experience.

"A ~
Mn. WILLIAM DowNEs, of U1bridge, Mass, writes
On March 10, 1883, as follows:
During the past three years I have been q Breat
sufferer from o complication Of diseases which batfied
the skill Of the most experienced doctors, as could not
obtain permanent relief by their treatment and pre-
scriptions; and I have also tried many so.called curesi In
the medicine line, but could get no relief. The pains,
aches and weakness increased 80 rapidly and constantly
that I was so reduced in strength as to be unable to
leave tho bed, and the doctors informed me that there
was no hope Of a recovery. In this exhausted and dis
couraged condition q dear friend persuaded me to use
Hunts Remedy, and after taking it only three days L
commenced to get better, and to my great JOY and
delight I have continued to improve constantly Dy its
use, until now, after having taken the remedy only a
few weeks, am able to be about my house again, and
am now doing my homework. Ny lame back is cured.
The severe pains have disappeared, and am now in
better health than for many years. aud beg this priri.

are affected with any disease of the kidneys or liver; and
I also highly recommend it for the attacks of sick head

benefit to his health by the use Of this most valuable
medicine, Hunts Remedy"

Cutting the Hair.

DR.. Shoemaker says it may be that
cutting and shaving may for the time
increase the action of the growth, but
it has no permanent effect either upon
the hair bulb or hair sa", and will not
in any way add to the life of the hair.
On the contrary, cutting and shaving
will cause the hair to grow longer for
the time being, but in the end will
inevitably shorten it's term of life by
exhausting the nutritive action of the
hair-forming apparatus. When the
hairs are frequently cut they will
usually become coarse, often losing the
beautiful gloss of The fine and delicate
hairs. The pigment will likewise
change-brown, for instance, becoming
chestnut, and black changing to adark
brown. In addition, the ends of very
many will be split and ragged, pre-.
scnting a brush-like appearance. II
the hairs appear stunted in their
growth upon portions of the scalp or
beard, or gray hairs crop up here and
there, the method of the clipping Oft
the ends of the short hairs, or plucklng
out the ragged, withered and gray
hairs, will allow them to grow stronger,
longer and thicker. Mothers, in rear
ing their children, should not cut their
hair at certain periods of the year
(during the superstitious period of full
NOON, in order to increase its length
and luxuriance as they bloom into
womanhood and manhood. This habit
of cutting the hair Of children brings
evil in place Of good, and is also con-
demned by the distinguished worker in
this department, Professor kaposi, OF
Vienna, who states that it is well
known that the hair of women who
possess luXuriant locks from the time
of %girlhood never again attains its
original length after having once been
cut. Pincus has made the same OBJ
servation by frequent experiment, and
he adds that there is a general opinion
that frequent cutting of the hair in
creases it's length; but the effect is
different from that generally supposed.
Thus, upon one occasion he stated that
he cut off circles of hair an inch in
diameter on the heads of healthy men,
and from week to week compared the
intensity of growth of the shorn place
with the rest of the hair. The result
was surprising to this close and care
full observer, as efound in some cases
the numbers were equal, but generally
the growth became slower after cutting,
and he has never observed an increase
in rapidity. l might also add that l
believe many beardless faces and bald
heads in middle and advancing age are
often due to constant cutting and
shaving in early life. The young girls
and boys seer daily upon u streets
with their closely-cropped heads, and
the young men with their clean-shaven
faces, are year by year by this fashion
having their ~hair-forming apparatus
strained.

,TWaS Ever Thus.

Nearly all the great statesmen of the
present day can look back to the time
when they would rather stand in the
mud and water up to their knees and
fish for bull-heads than help plant po-
tatoes in the best garden in the coun-
try. Even the best kind of a boy, who
is wiling to work like a major at any
other season of the year, seems tohave
a fearful falling out with all manner
of labor in the spring. But somehow
the spring garden is made each year,
and the boy grows up to manhood, and
finally has a boy Of his own, and a
garden that demands attention then
it seems that when he wants his 10y
to help in the garden, and fifteen min
utes later finds him in the street play
ing marbles, he forgets how it was
when Re was a boy himself, and DO
argues with bis boy with a hoe-handle.
Twas ever thus.-Peck's Sun.

Three Acres Of EGGS.

A Santa Barbara (Cal.) fisherman
has discovered, near San Miguel island,
a smaller island, about three acres in
extent, which is probably the largest
nest of eggs in the world. The island
is covered with a layer of guano in
which sea fowls of all descriptions
were found laying or incubating their
eggs. The surface appeared to be al
most entirely covered with eggs, prin-
cipally those Of the sea gulls, shags,
and a small bird known as the salt
water duck. The discoverer says it
was difficult to walk without treading
upon the eggs, and that it would be
easy to load q shin with them

ALI the years OF longing, waiting,
ALI the hours of loving, hating,
All the dreaming, hesitating,
That have borne me as a river
Bears the vessels that We give her
Looking back, I sigh and SILVER
At the time tween then and nov.
Days Of summer warmth and gladness,
Moments of delicious madness,
And the nights Of fearful sadness
That have ruled my brow with care lines,
Chilled me when the MONDAY sun shines,
Placed the thorns where memory still twines
Round the time tween then and now.
Midst the tumult of life's hurry
And the thousand things that worry,
Shall the bloom become a berry,
Shall tho bud become a flower?
That shall fill some sheltered bower
With q wond'rous perfume shower?
Shall the then be lost in now?

BURIED IN OAK HILL CEMETERY, WASHINGTON,
D. O., JUNE 8, 1888.
Oh, dews and flowers of splendid June
With pearls and garlands grace his tomb
Who taught Milan's dear maid the tune
That times the whole worlds loving feet,
To which all golden hearts shall beat,
Where'er they wait or weep or roam,
Of CLONE, Sweet Home" forever.
Our mariner on the Spanish main,
The tattered miner in his tent,
The wanderer on the throbbing plain
Where yellow Moons by simoons wheeled
Smite Desolation's finty shield,
A second bow of hope is bent
In Home, Sweet Home" forever.
And when to bugle and the blast
Where battle turns the lilies red,
Through flashing columns standing fast
The soldier cuts his narrow lane
That lets him through to Glory's fame
He hears an angel overhead
Sing "Home, Sweet Home forever.
The weary traveller who waits
In twilight's dim and drear abode
The opening of the pearly gates
That some faint ray or friendly star
May shine abroad through doors ajar
And show his fading eyes the road,
Signs "Home, Sweet Home" forever.
Acamp of blue, a camp of gray,
A peaceful river rolled between,
Were pitched two rifle shots away;
The sun had set the west aglow,
The evening clouds were crimson snow,
The twinkling camp fires family seen
Across the dark'ning river.
Then Hoated from the Federal band
The "Spangled Banners" starry strain
The grays struck up their Dixie Land,'
And orally Round" and " Benny Blue"
And "Red and What" alternate flew
All, no such flights shall cross again
The Rap%pahannock river!
And then, over the glancing "beam
Of song," a bugle warbled low,
Like some bird startled from a dream,
"Eome, Home, Sweet Home,' and voices
rang
Ard gray and blue harmonious sang
All other songs were like the
Among the pines when winds are stilled,
And hearts and voices throbbed and thrilled
With Home, Sweet Home forever.
No matter what the flag unfurled
All, Dulce Domum rules the world!
Sweet singer of the song of men,
Thou contest Late to claim thy own,
But when the daisies rise again
Arrayed in all thy borrowed dust,
The world will hold thy words in trust
And ages chant from zone to zone
Thy "Home, Sweet Home forever.
The Memnon murmured song, they thought
When dawning day his lips impressed
And flushing marble warmed and caught
The sweet Ionic of the Greek
All, truer far thy lips shall speak
Nor wait the touch of sun or stars
For thee the night time has no bars
Welcome, dear heart, and take thy rest
At "Home, Sweet Home" forever.
