Church-Going in Hot Weather.

From the Altoona Tribune
The parsOn, as he wiped the drops
Of moisture from his brow, expressed
the belief that Christian people were
not as a rule more foolish than the
unregenerate, but unquestionably the
former do observe some very absurd
customs. Then he went on to show
how, during the heated term, those
who have not fOrsaken the assembling
OF themselves together, instead OF
gathering together IN the early morn
ing, when air IS cool and fragrant, and
worship would be a Joy, wait until the
sun has assembled almost to the mid
heaven and the earth and its children
are brOIllng under the intense heat.
Thus, at almost the worst possible
time, they hold service And in the
evening, instead of gathering together
at shutdown for short service, they
wait until nightfall, and then, under
the glare and heat of the gas-lights.
roast and fume while listening to the
roasting and Tuning mortal in the
pulpit above them As for the tor
ture under the name of Sunday, school.
to which the unfortunate children are
subjected in the afternoons, language
Is inadequate to properly character
lie it. 1t was the belief OF the parson
that if Christian people had deIiber-
ately set about to devise the most
absurd and uncomfortable mode OF
summer worship possible, they could
scarcely have improved on the present
methods. And he evidently thinks it
would be a great gain, not only to the
comfort OF the worshipers, but per
haps to the cause OF religion itself, if
our hours OF worship during the heated
term were arranged with some reference
70 the comfort OF the people. But
habit IS great master, and it is not
likely that there will be any radical
change for the present.

Mrs. yanderbilt's Double.

size and shape. The one is hired to
serve in the place OF the milliOnalress
in the laborious matter OF having
costumes fitted. The garment now

Scales on the Farm.

There are many farmers who do not
properly estimate the value OF being
able to weigh upon the farm whatever
may be produced thereon, especially
that portion to be sold. The dealer
IN stock, who comes to your farm to
buy, is estimating and weighing daily,
and becomes so expert that he can
guess the weight of an animal within a
few pounds. The majority of farmers
cannot do this. The dealer is going to
buy as cheap as he can. He asks the
farmer mis- price. The reply is often
made that he does not know what it is
really worth; what will he pay for 1t.
The reply IS, he cannot buy and sell;
you must set the price. Ii the farmer
is really ignorant OF its value the deal
er soon discovers it and acts accord
ingly.
Last fall bought a flock of sheep
to raise early lambs. Not having kept
sheep for years, | was not posted; but
| raised some fine lambs. Some BUYERS
were looking at them, and / priced
them for the whole lot; this was
claimed to be too high. A few days
later the sheep were yarded, to be
shOrn. when a number of the lambs
were weighed The next day one OF
the village butchers met me and said
he was Just coming to see me about
those lambs. | told him to 90 and
look them over; he spent an hour
among them. "You found some fine
lambs? ' cob, fair" hereplied. The
first lamb dropped was on March 90
the majority after the first of April
Now, in view OF their age, are they not
more than fair?" He admitted that.
for their age, they were very good. !
asked him what some OF the best
would weigh. ooh, about forty-fve
pounds, he replied. 1 smiled, and
asked him if he did not know any bet
ter, remarking that it was useless to
beat around the bush, as was posted
on their weight, and that seventy was
nearer the mark than forty-fve. I
set my price, and he bought them.
The next day met another of the
village butchers and told him that
had a wether, and that, as | only
wanted to keep ewes, | would sell it.
told him 50 was the price, in answer
to his inquiry. He said he would give
$3.50, II a good one, but s. was out
OF the question. He said he would
give &c. per pound. "A 1-2 is the
present market price,. At his figures
the sheep was worth $3.50. at the
market price $40

AS Baby Lay Sleeping.
BY ERNEST M'cAFFEY.

Softly oh softly, the sunshine is creeping
In through the windows and over the walls;
Lightly, so lightly, for baby is sleeping,
And over the carpet its mellowness ialls.
Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Many quaint secrets to baby II told
As baby lay sleeping.
Sweetly, ali sweetly, the south wind comes sign
ing
Through the old naples and over the grass,
StOOps for an instant where baby Is lying
Stops, and then kisses the bOnny wee lass
Tender and true, tender and true,
Loving and faithful the winds came TO WOO
AS baby lay sleeping.
Sp on the easement a robin comes hopping
Where a gnarled apple tree scatters It's bloom,
Listens and hears the clocks pendulum drop
ping
Blossoms of time on the floor OF the room
Languid and still languid and still,
Midsummer reigned over meadow ana NIL,
As baby lay sleeping.

Growing Raspberries.

The best method for growing rasp-
berries and blackberries is without
stalks, pinching the tips OF young canes
as soon as they get about two feet
high. II the grower waits until the
canes are four or five feet high and then
cuts off foot or more, he checks the
growth and loses some OF the best
buds. An experienced grower cuts
back the canes OF red raspberries and
shortens in the side branches early in
the spring, thus securingmore and bet
ter fruit than if the entire canes We're
left on, and giving better opportunity
for the pickers to move about without
breaking off the ripe berries.

Rurninp Over Strawberry Beds.

A Michigan strawberry grower
practices straw mulching of the vines
to keep the berries clean, and nthe
season is ended burns the straw as it
lies. The heat clears off the leaves
and creepers from the stands, besides
destroying the seeds of weeds that lie
on the surface, as we'll as insects and
Larvae. After several years trialit has
been found that when rain comes new
leaves start out from the crown OF the
plant, which is uniniured by the fiery
ordeal through which it has passed.
The vines are then cultivated as usual.
The first burning over of the vines was
an accident, but the result proving SO
good the practice has been continued.

The DOCkYard Grow.

From the London Admiralty Gazette
The dockyard crow is a sort of pick
ct or sentry placed in the upper deck
OF a vessel to give notice to those
working, or supposed to be working,
on board, OF the approach of any one
in authority. A stranger sauntering
over the yard cannot fall to be struck
by the stiffness that prevails on board
the ships being got ready for commits
sion. No clang of hammer or anvil.
not even a solitary riveter, is at times
to be heard. This state of apparent
sOmnOlence obtains only so long as no
official can be discerned approaching
or to be within hearing. But the mo-
ment the ''Crow" discerns such an Off
cial, he, like the sentry in the rookery,
at once sounds thenote OF warning by
giving three rapid and heavy strokes
of the hammer on the deck. Then in
an instant the ship is alive, swarming
with the workmen, as busy, aLDarent-
ly, as bees, but who, up to that mo-
ment, had been quietly sleeping or
playing cards between decks below.
