HnndaptabIIIty Of Northern Homes
to summer.

Boston AuNertlher.
In none of our Northern cities are the
conditions of summer as well as winter
occupancy considered in the construction
of dwellings, There are ample applian-
ces for heating, but few for cooling. The
red brick walls are seldom covered with
light paint to reflect rather than to absorb
the heat; the windows and doors lack the
generous dimensions which would permit
the entrance of abundant draughts of air,
and there is no such connection between
the various apartments as will insure an
equable as we'll as cool temperature. The
cellar, where nobody abides, is the most
comfortable part of the house. The up
per rooms are effected by the heat of the
kitchen or that of the roof, and the cool
ing-oif process which evening brings for
the brick walls is obtained Mt the expense
of the outer air which comes heated into
the dwelling, Contrast such a house with
| some dwellings in Baltimore or New Or
leans where "A large inner court, commu-
| nicating with the roof and opening into
the yarious apartments, insures free
circulation of air and secures u certain
GOODNESS in the hottest weather. Such u
central hail, moreover, would not inter
fere with the comfort of the house as n
winter residence, while as an architectu-
raj feature it would add much to its ut
tractiveness. In his charming Story of
a House the great French architect,
Violet -le-Duc, makes the designer say
that he should like to go to America if he
knew that they tried to build there in ac-
cordnnce with the tastes and needs of the
inhabitants. Aside from the roomy bay
windows with which the newer houses i'll
our Northern cities are provided, there
are few facilities for catching the breezes
in hot weather.
There are number of contrivances for
lessening the summer heat in city dwell
ings which are too seldom adopted. One
is the old-fashioned practice of closing
the blinds and windows before the sun has
risen high enough to make the outer air
, unbearable. A house kept closed this
, way till the heat of the day is over is
much more comfortable than one opened to
i the blaze of the sun and the burning ut
mosphere Where such a practice is I'M
!, desirable cool shades are needed to re-
, fleet the SUMS rays instead Of absorbin 3
! | them, and the furniture and hangings OF
, the various rooms should be as light and
+, airy rs possible. The thick stuffy carpets
and curtains should give place to straw
! mattings and gauzy fabrics, which dispose
to cooling thoughts and feelings. In en-
!, treme hot weather tine temperature OF
y rooms may he materially lowered by
\ stretching pieces Of flannel or other
= wooden stuff across the windows nfter
dipping them in water, and the process
|, of evaporation will give refreshing cool
!, ness TO the air. This method is especially
desirable to sleeping rooms.

gratihed, if money could be the medium.
One evening she remarked in her charm

much. Would you bring home tomorrow
a check It's only 81, 800. yes, DEAR
he replied, 81 will bring tine money n
and the next evening, with the assistance
of his porter, he did bring home and
placed ON the parlor table fifteen hundred
silver dollars At the sight Of this pile
of metal, weighing nearly hundred
pounds, the wife exclaimed, "What are
you going to do with all that money y
'sWhy! love, it's the money you wanted
for the new shawl" "Good gracious
Does it take all that to make 81 800
Why had no idea ii meant so much

all in the savings bank, if you will let me-

weather Colder and Heavy storms.

A. j. Deyoe, the Hackensack, N. j.,
weather prophet, in expressing forecast
for the rest of summer, last week, said
The weather will be warm for the rest
of the week, and the hot spell will break
up about Sunday. This week we will
have some terrible thunder showers, and
at the end of the week we will need over
coats. There will he another hot spell in
August but other than that the tempern-
ture will be lower than usual. There will
be much rain in the month of August,
and think we will have some floods. Tie
most remarkable thing about this summer
will be the severe thunder showers"

WAsnrsarnN. d. g., Aug, 2.-Julius Il.
Santos is an American citizen, horn in
Ecuador. After the recent iisurrection
in the country he was arrested ON the
ground that lie had participated in it and
has ever since been held II prisoner. The
State Department, at the request of his
friends, asked his releuse. No attention
having been paid to this request, Secre-
tary Bayard demanded his release, and
Secretary Whitney backed up the demand
with the United States steamer Iroquois.
Our Consul Mt Guayaquil now reports to
the State Department that n letter received
July 10 ut Guayaquil by relative of San
tos from the capital, stated that Santos
had been released, This information
the State Department considers correct,
although it has not as yet been officially
confirmed.

The whipping-post Needed.

Phila Ledger, july ~.
The whipping-post is needed for such
malicious scamps MS the man who broke
two plate glass windows on Chestnut street
on Tuesday night. The actual damage
done was great, and Inconvenience and
loss was also occasioned to the unfortunate
firm. that became the victim of his malice.
Imprisonment affords no punishment, for
that is exactly what he wanted. But if
prison quarters We're made less comforta-
BILE than they are, or if the lash were jul
liciously employed on the backs of wife
heaters and scoundrels like this there
would be more fear of punishment and
possibly more respect for law. AT pres
ent prisoners ill our jails fare rather better
than honest working people outside, save
that they are deprived of their liberty.
They are well fed and much better housed
than thousands of decent people. There

Lord Alfred T.nnyson, Poet Laureate

Two suns of love make day of human life,
Which else, with all its pains and griefs and
deaths,
We're utter darkness: one the sun Of dawn,
That brlghtens through the mothers tender eyes
And warns the child's awakening world; anu
one
The later rising sun of spousal love,
Which from her household orbit draws the emil
To move I'm other spheres. The mother weeps
At that white funeral of the signal life,
Her maiden daughters marriage; and ner tei i
Are half of pleasure, half of pain. The child
Is happy ever In leaving her. But thou,
True daughter, whose all-faithtul iilial yes
Have seen the loneliness of earthly thrones,
Wilt neither quit the widowed crown, nor let
This later light OF love have ris N In vain;
But moving through the mothers home, d. :
tween
The Two that love thee, lead a summer life,
Swayed by each love aud swaying TO each love
Like some con1ectured planet in mid heaven
Between two suns, and drawing down from DO II

How Patti's First Match was Made.


How she came TO marry De Caux may
perhaps be of interest to those whose
years have not given them the doubtful
privilege of remembering events quarter
of n century old. She left America about
the year 1853, and at once proceeded
to take Europe by storm. Napoleon's
court was then Mt the hight of its mag
nificence, and Patti fell within the CLAM
our of the Empress witchery- within the
power of the then most charming woman
in Europe. Nothing would do but the
divine songstress must make brilliant
match, and nothing brilliant enough
could be found outside the charming
circle of the French Imperial Court.
Eugene loved match making; she also
adored title With her no good could
exist apart from n long Lineage and II
sounding name. In her short -sightedness
she welded the fnirest singer and one OF
most beautiful woman on earth TO the
Marquis de Caux. The blue blood Of thg
patrician was to ennoble that which was
already nobler by natural gifts than that
of any court-made rank could be. Patti
dazzled by the splendor of name ant
