LONGEST DAY IN THE YEAR.-To. day is
the summer solstice, the longest day in the
year, and the sun will shine on the zenith
OF tho tropic of Cancer. The sun will daily
decrease in elevation from the close of June,
but the heat continues to increase during

A Genuine Freeze Out.

Another effect of the curious San
Francisco climate is OF considerable i'm
terest to strangers, as it makes nine
out of every ten sick the first week they
are here. The traveller from New
York, or even Canada, coming here at
this season does not bring his furs and
flannels. Before getting to California
he crosses. thousands of miles of plains
and deserts, and is nearly baked. He
smiles If a San Franciscan happens to
be along and talks of overcoats, and, Is
the, San franciscan is smaller man,
feels like knocking him down when he
sits up and watches him wipe the pers-
piration off his brow and talks about
cold winds and dannels. @ p
1t must be confessed that along the
Arizona or Utah desert, with the ther-
mometer boiling in the shade, the
easterner has right to feel angry with
the San Franciscan's talk, and even
until Oakland, only three miles from
the city, is reached, his incredulity
seems justified; but now it is different
Mark the change that a short three
miles brings. Mark how arpaltrv half

Wealthy people here go away in the
summer to get warm, instead of cool,

It Wasn't a Boulevard.

An Austin darkey raised large crop
of watermelons, but the crop is so large
this year he has had difficulty in getting
rid of them, the market being over
stocked. He felt,like the castaway on
the desert island, for .'hc saw no sale
from day to-day" He attributed the
dullness of the season to the fact that
the superior quality of the fruit was not
sufficiently advertised, so he procured
a long tin horn with which he startled
horses several blocks distant. 941

On what concerns you. even more
Than crinoline or dress;
You all expect to win and wear
A prize some day. know;
Dear girls, your every chance depends
On managing your beau.
In choosing bows, you must exert
The very utmost care,
The new-made ones are apt to warp,
The old ones will not wear.
While worthless ones are vanished
And oft deceive the eye,
And some are stir and cross-grained, too,
And very apt to 1y.

Hold fast, but gently. in your hand
The bow should freely move,
And never, never trust your low
To any other hand,
For very, very few indeed
Will such trial stand.
Some ladies choose their bows by weight,
No doubt, on prudent grounds;
They like TO boast their hand can draw
With ease, so many pounds.
Sharp-shOoters they, to me It's quite
Amazing to behold t1 =g
How earnestly their eyes and hearts
Are fixed upon the gold.
This fact state not of myself,

Some ladies in our archery club
Have found their bows too dear.
Good beaux are dear, and should be so,
They're scarce found anywhere;
! almost think I'd give my hand
To find a thing so rare.
Select bow that bends with grace
0bedient to your will,
However light you pull the cord,
You bend it plant still;
For I've heard married ladies say,
The point can't decide,
That every beau begins to snap
Soon after it is tied.
