The Weather of 1888.

A summary of the weather of 1888,
given in the Newark Advertiser, shows
that the maximum temperature of the
year, 1913, recorded on the 7th of July,
was exceeded in eleven of the proceed
ing thirty-nine years, the highest max.
imum in any one year of the entire Sc.
ries having been 100 1-2 deg. on Septem.

the year, Alb deg, was below twenty
three of the whole series of forty years,
and OPT deg. be ow the average of all,
the highest mean temperature recorded
during the whole period having been
% 63 deg. in 1873. There were 163 days
during the year recorded as fair, no
year having 80 small number. the av.
erage for the entire period being 226,
and the greatest number in any one
year being 256 in 1856. Rain fell in meas
urable quantities on l24 days exceeding
the number in any other year. Snow
was observed to fall on 40 days, eleven
more than the average of the 40 years,
and exceeding all but two, 1875 and

The Art of Music.

The art Of music is so modern a de-
yelopment that it is only within the
last 200 years that anything having a
title to the name Of music has existed.
Modern or music proper had its rise in
Italy, where most Of the srts in their
modern form also mad their rise. Italy
may be said to have been the cradle oil
the arts. The first participation with
Italy in the newly-discoyered glories oil
the musical art was Germany. Italian
opera and Italian church music found a
sympathetic response in that country.
But observe that this sympathy was at
nrst entirely receptive. Until Gluck
founded national school of music for
his countryman, Germany remained
content to be catered for by Italy. No
creative genius showed itself then for
years. There were indeed composers,
in the ordinary acceptation OF the word.
but they were serviIe imitators and
plagiarists, whose creations, while
possessing all the defects of the then
Italian form. lacked its sole recommen-
France, indeed, had already formed a
so-called national school before Handel
and Haydn respectively laid the gigan-
tic foundations on which the mammoth
modern structures of oritorio and SYM
phony have since been raised. Thus
we see that the German nation, that
must be universally acknowledged the
musical natioa par excellence of to- day,
was i'll its artistic infancy not only mere
lv receptive, but also feebly initiative,
sure sign of stagnant mediocrity, but
clearly no obstacle to future original
reatness.-Chamber's journal.

Man Always the Same Animal

features of his animal construction that
constitute him species, he has been
essentially the same animal in all states
OF civilization or barbarism. And un-
less We boldly assume that the pre-.
historic man was an animal born with
coat of hair all over his body, and that
clothing was resorted to az the hair in
successive generations disappeared, we
can have no very strong reason for be-
lieving that the human body has been
at any time an essentially different
structure from what it ia now. Even in
regard to longevity or power of con-
tinued life if we set aside the exception.
al cases of what is related of the patri-
archs in the Biblical records, we do
not find that the average duration OF
human life has been much less than the
threescore and ten of the fourscore
years that are said to have been the
divinely appointed term. As to what
may have been the average duration
Of life among the prehistoric men,

Operations in Pills.

Mr.. Ingram, the founder and proprie
tor ofthe Illustrated London News, made
his first fortune by PARIS life pills, al
Holloway did by his. Mr.. Ingram used
to say that lie always noticed on market
days at Nottingham that general pur.
chasers gave the preference to goods
which were advertised with cuts. So be
put an imaginary picture of Old Parr on
the front of his advertisement, with
good effect. Holloway followed his

monev-making, however, whereas Ing.
ram was socially ambitious, eager fol
admission to society. and was NJ. P. for
Boston at his death. He had a very
handsome country-seat adjoining his
paper mills, in Herts, where on Sundays
he entertained large parties of brother
NJ. P.'s. He was in some respects very
democratic, dining in his shirt sleeves
every week day at one with his printers
and employees at the Rainbow, which
was near the Offices Of the Illustrated

Variety in Farming.


It is the idea of many that any one
can learn to farm. But as there are 30
many branches of farming any one of
which require years OF steady and close
application to master by the best minds,
it is deemed advisable for all farmers to
avoid undertaking too many things.
There are some vegetables, grains and
and are SO well understood, that their
production does not require 80 much
study, and can be used probably in
making up variety on the farm. And
yet these simplest things require active
minds, and close attention to business
to produce proftably, and great care
and thought to sell to advantage.
But there are many things, which re-.
Quire the undivided attention and study
Of the most active minds. It will not
often prove success, If any man at
tempts to carry on two or more of them
at the same time. And while we would
advise variety in farming, the diversity
should be so selected that the one great
division shall not be neglected by the
care and absorbing attention of others.
The successful farmer is most generally
. specialist. 1t is not safe for q man to
attempt t. Taise cattle, horses, hogs, and
sheep for breeding purposes, at the same
time keep large number of COWS and
run an extensive dairy, or raise cane and

grain and raise hogs for pork. This

Blishing for the Americans.


From Paris Letter ny Robert Laird Collier.
How comes it that the Americans
one meets in Europe are SO usually of
the long-talking, ill-bred, dashy type
one sees described in foreign books and
papers? One does not see them at
home, but unhappily crosses their path
everywhere in European travelings. I
was dining the other evening at Pre-
vitalis in Arundel street. 1t is quiet
little Italian hotel AMI restaurant,
where one goes fora delicious and not
Expensive dinner, by efficient italian
walters. Here everything is most civil
and decorous. 1t is a rendezvous for
Italian and French upperrclass mer-
chants and journalists. These are
(which goes without saying) deliciously
ceremonious and polite, rising to greet,
low of voice and every way punctilious.
At the table just behind mine there
were four persons, two of each sex, who
| were talking loudly and acting coarsely,
| with an affected Inconsistencies of de-
pertinent. Still they looked and were
dressed like gentlefolk. They attracted
the attention of all in the room and an
noyed the waters. What was their
| nationality? l need not answer. That
is known to me as we'll as it was to every
one in the room, for the fact is no people
when travelling abroad so violate the
proprieties of life like this except my

This was trying night for my patriot

general conversation and who kept up
. running fire ofcriticism upon au1ience,
surroundings actors and acting during the
whole evening. The ladies stood at the
extreme front of THAR box and freely
used their opera-glasses, and their talk
was so loud that it was annoying to
many who were near them. OF course

Heavy Carcasses Of Fat Meat.

From the housekeepers' and the COM
mercial point of view, as wonderful as
these mighty piles of meat were as ex-
amples of what perfection the breeding
and feeding of cattle have attained, it
was very plainly apparent that two or
three points have been carried too far.
The carcasses were too fat for profitable
consumption, and also for canning OF
sailing and altogether too large for any
economical use. The buyer wants a
whole porterhouse or lion steak If any,
and at least a two, rib roast if a roast at
all; but how many are there who ask for
four or five pounds of steak in a single
cut or twc-rib roast weighing 20 or 25
poundsl Then as to the fat compared
with the lean, 60 per cent. of the former
to 40 per cent. of the latter would not
be an unfair estimate, to say nothing of
the bone which with the fat must be
thrown out, making beef from very
heavy and fat carcasses very dear food
indeed.-Rural New Yorker.
