TEACH NE 10 LIVE.

Teach me to live for self and sin no more,
But use the time remaining to me yet;
Not mine own pleasures seeking as before,
Wasting no precious hours in vain regret
Teach me to live! No idler let me be,
But in Thy service hand and heart EN-
ploy,
Prepared to do thy bidding cheerfully;
Be this my highest and my hottest joy.
Teach me to live! My daily cross to bear,
Nor murmur though | bend beneath It's
load;
Only be with me. Let me feel thee near;
Thy smile sheds gladness on the darkest
road.
Teach NE to live! and find my life in thee,
Looking from earth and earthly things
away;
Let me not falter, but untiringly
Press on and gain new strength and power
each day.
Teach Inc to live. with kindly words for all;
Wearing no cold, repulsive brow of gloom
Waiting with cheerful patience, till they call
Summons my spirit to her heavenly home.

HOW TO AVOID SUNSTROKE,

The New York Board of Health has
again issued circulars giving the follow
ing directions as to precautions against
sunstroke and the treatment of sufferers
from that cause:
Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat,
and especially if the weather is "mug-
gy.' It is more apt to occur on the
second, third or fourth day of heated
term than on the first. Loss of sleep,
worry, excitement, close sleeping rooms,
debility, abuse of stimulants predispose
to it. 1t is more apt to attack those
working in the sun, and especially be-
tween the hours II o'clock in the morn
ing and o'clock in the afternoon. Have
as cool sleeping rooms as possible.
Avoid loss of sleep and all unnecessary
fatigue. If working indoors, and where
there is artificial heat, laundries. ETC.,
see that the room is we'll ventilated. If
working in the sun wear a light hat (not
black, as it absorbs the heat). straw, etc.,
and put inside of it on the head a wet
cloth or large green leaf; frequently
lift the hat from the head, and see that
the cloth is wet. Do not check perspira-
ton, but drink what water you need to
keep it up, as Precipitation prevents the
body from being overheated. Have,
whenever possible, an additional shade,
as thin umbrella, when walking; a
canvas or board cover when working in
the sun. When much fatigued do not 60
to work, but be excused from work,
especially after II o'clock in the morn
ing on very hot days, if the work is in
the sun. If a feeling of fatigue, dizzi-
ness, headache or exhaustion occurs
cease work Immediately, lie down in a
shady and cool place; apply cold cloths
to and pour cold water over head and
neck. If any one is overcome by the
heat send Immediately for the nearest
good physician. While waiting for the
physician give the person cool drinks of
water or cold black tea, or cold coffee, if

STORY OF A FAMOUS DIAMOND.

The following details of the origin of
the famous jewel which adorns the i'm
peral sceptre of Russia were furnished
me during a residence in St. Petersburg
by a descendant of the Armenian mer-
chant who brought the stone to Russia:
The diamond, in its rough state, formed
the eye of an idol in a temple near Triehi-
nopoli, and was distracted by French
renegade, who escaped with his prize to
Persia. Here he wandered from town to
town trying to dispose of it for moder-
ate sum, but only meeting with distrust
and suspicion. At length, when the news
of the theft had spread over India and
reached Persia, fearing arrest, he &C
cepted the offer of Hebrew merchant
and surrendered the diamond for SO, 600.
Meantime the Shah was informed, not
only of the robbery but also that the
theft was residing in his territory, and

A Big Fifteen Cents Worth.

The first thing that strikes the atten-
ton on opening the summer number of
Straubridge d Clothier's Quarterly, just
at hand from the publishers, Strawbridge
s Clothier, Philadelphia, is the number
and the style of the illustrations it con-
tains. On every page excellent pictures
are given that clearly explain the letter
press instructions; so that the articles
will not fail to benefit those for whom
they were prepared.
The eminently practical articles on
Homemade Millinery, Dress Ornamental
ton, and the Art of Mending, treat of
useful and ornamental matters that the
feminine folks are deeply interested ill.,
What l know about Keeping one Cow, is
a second installment from that matter Of
fact body, Johns WIFE, that may be read
with profit by those who are in circum-
stances to follow her advice; and be read
with envy by all others. To all those
who are nimble with the needle, and
value their own work above the ready
made article, this number will keep busy
for three months
The usual Fashion Gossip department
is supplemented in this issue by the
treatment of special subjects; such as
White Costumes, Toilet for Garden
Party, Summer Costumes, and Lawn
Tennis, in which last will be found de-
scription of the game. 1t is worth not
ing that the Kitchen department is now
conducted by the Caterer, which is the
American authority in culinary affairs
The musical contribution in this number
is three-page piece of vocal music, 4
Lullaby in the key of F, class of COM
position that is generally pleasing.
Following the literary contents of the
magazine comes the pages devoted to the
fascinating subject of dry goods; de-
scribed, illustrated, and priced in way
to hold the attention of the ladies to the
very last page of the book. This is one
of the features of business conducted
on large scale; to give distant custom
ers the opportunity to avail themselves
of the latest styles and the lowest prices.
We strongly advise those of our lady
readers who are not subscribers to the
Quarterly to become SO, as it is worth
times over the price of subscription-50
cents year.

A GIRLS LONG RIDE.

"IIeilo! how far is 1t to the next
town"'
These words greeted the ears of Mr..
w. w. Davis and family as they sat at
supper at their residence, Sixteenth and
O'Neil streets, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Mr.. Davis looked out of the open door
Of his dining room upon Sixteenth street.
He saw there an unusual picture. A
fine, large sorrel mare, with a yearling
colt at her side, was standing by the
sidewalk. Upon the mares back sat a
young woman sideways on a mans sad
die. She had on broad brimmed mans
hat. close-fitting blue and white calico
dress, rough laced shoes, and on one foot
was mans stirrup. A yellow rubber
coat was tied up behind the saddle. The
young woman was sunbunt and travel
stained, but sat erect, and looked as if
she were able to take care of herself.
Mr.. Davis walked to the door.
"What town do you want ?" he said.
"The next town, whatever it is"
"Well, there's station on the Union
Pacific some miles on, but you're not
looking for it, l suppose. Where are you
travelling to-"
"To California
"Alone ?"
eyes, alone, and camping out. Where
can find good grass?"
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis, like good, hospit-
able people, invited the young lady to
dismount and partake Of some supper.
She washed her hands and face, sat
down to the table, and talked about the
trip she was making.
"My home is at Kingston, Green Lake
county, Wisconsin," she said, "where 1
live with my father. once spent some
time visiting in Southern California, but
it was some years ago. l have for sew
eral years thought of starting in the
spring and making the journey on horse
back, and this year l made up my mind
that would do it. l have been eight
weeks on the road. From my home to
the Mississippi River the distance is $50
miles; it is $50 across the State of Iowa,
as travelled, and 500 and more to Chey-
enne. So have come over 1, 900 miles
on horseback and alone"
"Have you good horse?"
"Indeed l have. They wanted me to
give up my trip at Kearney. Why, some
folks grew real angry with me because
persisted in going on. They wanted me
to sell my mare and colt and take the
money to pay my passage. But I do not
need money, and I'll never part with that
mare. She's good animal, has speed
as trotter, and she weighs as much to
pound as when started with her. To
day have ridden twenty eight miles,
but that is more than l generally make.
travel mornings and evenings, and
a side saddle, but it made the mare &
back sore, so traded it off for mans
saddle. At night l picket the mare and
lie close to the picket. She can't move
but l know it. She got away twice,
though. Once followed her afoot more
than ten miles, and caught her in herd
of thirty horses"
"What bedding have you in camping
out ?''
Nothing but that yellow slicker and
the saddle blanket. l haven't suffered
from the cold, but it gets awful lonely
sometimes at night, when the coyotes
are bowling"
"Have you been annoyed by tramps?'
