THE STORY OF A LIFE.

say. what Is iife7 IT'S to be born
A helpless babe; to greet the light
With a sharp wall. as if the morn
Foretell cloudy noon and night.
To weep, to sleep, and weep again.,
With sunny smiles between-and then?
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes,
Were ne but conscious of his JOY
To be, in short, from two to ten,
A merry, moody child-and then?
And then in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the decalogue,
And break It; an unthinking lad.
With mirth and mischief all agog;
a truant Oft by field and fen,
And capture buttertiief-and then?
And then, increased In strength and size,
To be anon q youth full grown;
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
TIC initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sin-and then?
And then, at last, TO be man,
To fall in love, to WOO and wed
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue for fame, with tongue and pen.
And gain or lose the prize And then"
And then in gray and wrinkled cid
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
TO praise the scenes our youth beheld,
And dwell In memory OF lang syne'
TO dream awhile with darkened KEN
-TJohu G. Sake.

Many will prefer and it is often easier,
TO solve the example by taking the interest
for days all the way through. The time is
2,G6S days The principal s., '2'S'3 90, is its
own interest for 5000 days. The inverted

in the preceding example. Since 1898 90
is It's own interest for 5000 days at 8 per
cent. per annum, one-third of it, or s., 427.-
666G6, would be the interest for 1000
days at the same rate. If we re-

This summers fashions are much more
tasteful and elegant than they have been
for some years past. Some odd toilets are
still worn at fashionable French resorts,
but they are generally the creations y OF
women who are particularly anxious to be
considered eccentric Elderly ladies are
benefited by the present harmony in form
and color, and French dressmakers have
made for them many toilets that are we'll
worthy of imitation. One of these consists
of reddish brown changeable taffetas un-
derskirt, with two deep plaitings on the
lower part of the garment. Over this is q
polonaise of reddish brown silk etanine'
brocaded with large flowers. The pelerine
is of embroidered gauze of the same color,
lined with silk. 1t sits snugly over the
shoulders, and forms two small mantle
ends in front. The reddish brown straw
capote matching the suit is trimmed with
velvet of the same color and with shaded
yellow flowers. Gauze pelerines will re
main an Indispensable part of the toilet all
summer. They are very suitable for mid
dle-aged women, who generally wear an
outer garment. Young girls use this pcle-
rine in velvet ana plush or of the material

How to Cool Rooms.

A simple way Of cooling the air Of a
room is described in the New Orleans
Picayane of recent date. The compos-
ing room of the Picayune is situated in
the upper story of its publication house,
just under the roof, and in summer is ex-
tremely hot. This season an inspiration
seems to have come to one of the OPP
pressed occupants, and, in accordance
with it, vertical wooden box was con.
structed in the corner of the room, with
openings at the floor and ceiling. and
furnished with pipe for supplying
water at the top, and a pan and drain at
the bottom for receiving the flow and car
rying it safely away. The supply.pipe
was bent over the upper end of the shaft
and fitted with o nose like that of a
watering-pot, so as to deliver shower
Of spray instead Of solid stream. On
connecting it with service-pipe, the
movement OF the water was found to
cause an active circulation of the air in
that part of the room, which was drawn
in at the upper opening of the shaft and
issued again, cool and fresh, at the floor
level. The most surprising thing about
the experiment seems to have been the
&
effect Of the water in cooling the air to
a degree much below its own tenn
perature. With Mississippi water,
which, when drawn from the service
pipe indicated q temperature of S4', the
air of the room, in which the thermome-
ter at the beginning of the trial stood at
96', was cooled in passing through the
length of the shaft to IA. or about 20'
below the temperature at which it en-
tered, and TO- below. that Of the water
which was used to cool it. OF course,
the absorption Of heat by the evapora-
tion Of portion Of the water ACCOUNTS
for its refrigerating effect, but the result
seems TO have been so easily and inex-
pensively attained that the experiment
would be well worth repeating in other
/ cases,

REPUBLICANS REPUDIATINC BLAINE.
The Grand Old Party's Leaders Do
nounced by Vermont Indepen-
dents.

BRATTLEBoRo, VT, Aug. 2l.-A coun-
ty convention of representative Republi-
cans who are opposed to Blaine was
held in the opera house here this after
noon, After indorsing the regular Re-
publican ticket the convention chose
Geo. L. Crowell, S. II. Warren, OF Brat
leboro, N. II. Spencer, of Dover, II. U.
Peabody, of Londonderry, and I. b..
Deming. OF Wilmington, delegates to a
State conference, which is expected to
be held early next week for the purpose
of putting in nomination o State Inde-
pendent ticket. Letters were read from
various localities within the State from
prominent and lifelong Republicans who
repudiate Blaine. The following resolu.
tions were unanimously passed:
Resolved, That while we recall with
pride the glorious achievements OF the
Republican party under the leadership
of Lincoln aud Seward, of Sumner and
Chase and Wilson, we cannot shut oul
ewes to the reckless extravaganza and
wholesale corruption which have char
acterized its later days, nor forget thai
its front ranks are now crowded will
the Robesons and Belknaps, the Kiefers
and Dorseys and Blaines, and that sucl
are the men that the ''grand old party
to-day delights to honor.
Resolved, That in the selection o
James G.. Blaine as the Republican
standard bearer we recognize the tri
umph of the worst elements of the par
ty, and, believing that his official recort
has plainly proven his unfitness for th
high position to which he has been nom
mated, we hereby pledge to him ou
hearty and infexible opposition.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
practical application Of civil service re
form in all the departments of national
State and municipal governments, an
will use our best efforts to secure tn
nomination and election of such men q
are known to be the open and deter
mined enemies Of the present disreputa
BILE spoils system.
Resolved, That we are unalterably or
posed to political rings, with all tina
that implies.
