In the campaign of 1884 the two candi-
dates for Governor in a pivotal" West
ern State arranged for a series of joint
discussions. Both men were popular, both
of fine appearance and were SO well
matched In mental force and as orators
that the contest between them promised to
be q magnificent one. For several weeks
the scales balanced evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican can
come and spoke laboredly. The next day
he was oven less effective. Later he was
compelled to ask his opponent for q post
ponement Of certain appointments, which
was granted. Before the campaign ended
he had abandoned the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate con-
tinued his canvass, seeming to grow
stronger, cheerier and more effective with
zach succeeding week. He vas elected.

The making of cheese Il

The making of cheese is a very inn
portant occupation in Switzerland,
where the riches of a man are esti-
mated according to the number of
cheese he possesses. A strange custom
in the Valois is to make a cheese when a
child is born, which is left untouched
during his lifetime, and is often cut into
for the first time at his funeral feast. A
rich man stores up wine as we'll as
cheese for his own funeral, and when
that event takes place a goblet of this
.'dead wine," as it is called, is placed
on the coffin, the mourners approach,
take the goblet in their hands, touch the
| coffin with it, and drink the contents to
a future meeting with their departed
friend.

sEAsoNAeLE SUGGESTIONS.

A Chapter on Prudence in d and
Temperance in Diet.
The extreme heat of the season, with
the increased number of deaths, suggest
great prudence in conduct and temper
ance in diet. A large proportion of the
fatal results traceable to thermal causes
might easily be prevented by a little.
care. OF course the few who a afford
to crafty their desires by fleeing to
some cool and quiet retreat. and then
have the good judgment to be temper
ate in their habits, are the furthest re-
moved from all seasonable dangers, but
to the many this is impossible. The
less fortunate one al comply with
well established hygienic principles.
Cleanliness is of the first Importance
and it applies not only to the person,
but also to the premises. The body
should be sponged once a day, and
twice is better. with, water not cold;
clothing next to the person should be
frequently changed; the bedroom and
linen should be thoroughly ventilated
and aired after use. The common
practice of shutting up the sleeping
room all day in order to keep it dark
should be avoided; the clothing should
be aired throughout the day, and the
| couch not made up for use until even
ing. Keep no fresh meat or decayed
vegetation anywhere about the premises.
Whitewash the cellar and be careful to
avoid keeping remnants of food about
to decay and mould.
Equal in importance to cleanliness is
the supply of pure air. Let every room
in the house from cellar to garnet be
abundantly ventilated during some
portion of each day. Flies and hot air
are preferable to a dark, stuffy apart
ment, which is thus converted into a
disease breeding nest. Hot air naturally
rises, and, if the upper rooms are kept
closed throughout the day, they will be
found charged with the foul air that has
been generated in the living rooms.
Take the utmost care of the sewers.
Temperance should be observed, both
in eating and drinking. Where the
appetite or the vocation demand, it is
better to eat o frequently, rather
than overload the stomach at long in
tervals. Unripe fruit and vegetables are
poisonous, and are especially injurious
in hot weather. Meats and vegetables
should be thoroughly cooked before eat
ing, and all should be fresh when
cooked. Intemperance in the usually
regarded harmless summer drinks and
compounds is followed by as serious re-
suits as over-indulgence in alcoholic
beverages. Eat and drink seasonable,
ripe, we'll cooked food and light fluids
in small quantities and at more frequent
intervals.
Do not attempt any o~ver-exertion o.
excitement of body or mind. Start il
time to meet every engagement without
hurrying. Whether in the harvest field
at the work bench. in the counting
room or study, or enjoying the leisure
and comforts that wealth afford. be
careful to observe these precautions
There are none so poor or unfortunate
that they may not have them, and none
so rich that they can safely neglect
them. These hints are useful at every
season. but they are essential now anc
will be during the succeeding six weeks

who was possessed of supernatural

A LESSON IN TENNIS.
EATON,

They played at tennis that summer day
Where was it? o, call IL Mount Desert
The place matters not; 1 will simply say:
They were playing tennis that summer day,
And she wore a short and striped skirt.
And she his partner and coach was both;
Though perhaps not up" in the points Of
play,
Yet she knew the game in q general way
And to give him points seemed nothing
.loath.
He did his best, but his best was poor;
b balls served to him on his side staid;
And thus 1t went on for o round or more,
ELL, anxious, he ventured to ask the score.
The scorer Why, it's Thirty-Love," she
said.
And Love1 What is lover" he fain would
Yet blushed to ask it, for he could see
What pardonless ignorance he must show;
But she calmly answered him, speaking
swhy. Love is nothing, you know" said
The sun Of that summer day is set;
That season Is gone, as seasons go;
But his heart was caugh in that tennis net,
And they might have been playing partners
Had she not given her answers: .No."
He plays no tennis at all this year,
But he mopes, and means. and sighs-
That fate is so hard, and life is SO drear;.
And, worse than all else, he remembers
That "Love is n~othing'-she told him SO.
