WHAT MAKES THE suMMsRi

1t b not the lark's clear tone
Oeaxing the morning air with a soaring cry,
Hor the nightingale's dulcet melody all the halmy
night
Nos these alone
Make the sweet sounds OF summer;
Buf the drone Of beetle and bee, tho murnurous
hum OF the fly
And the chirp Of the cricket hidden out OF sight
These help 10 pike the summer.
Not roses redly blown.
Nor gr.den lilies. lighting the dusky mead,
Nor proud. imperial pansies, nor queen cups
quaint and rnre-
Not these alone
Make the sweet sights OF summer;
But the countless forest leaves, the myriad way
side weeds
And slender grasses, springing up everywhere
These help TO make the summer.
One heaven bends above;
The lowliest head ofttimes hath sweetest rest;
Der song bird In the pine. and bee In the Ivy low.
IL the same love, it is all God summer;
Well pleased is He II we patiently do our best.
So hum, little bee, and low green grasses grow,
You help 10 make summer.

Tho RaIR In Arahia.

o. the fortieth day the baby's head is
shaved-a ceremony which could scarcely
be performed in our own country, where
thick hair is usually Of a later growth.
This operation is considered a very i'm
portant one, and thirty or forty persons
are witnesses to it, for the performance
of certain rites.
The disposal of the first hair Is regarded
as a very weighty matter; it must not be
burned o carelessly thrown away, but
buried, thrown into the sea, or hidden in
some crevice of a wall.
This fortieth day marks a turning point
In the child's life. Heretofore il has only
been seen by its parents, the slaves on
duty and a few intimate friends Of the
family; now, however, it may be seen by
anybody, and is regarded as fairly
launched on the tide Of existence

cowbells worr on broadway.

An eccentricity of toilet seen in Broad
way. and heard, too, consists Of cowbells
worn by fashionable women. These Gu
rious adiuncts are shaped like the old
fashioned tinkling bells which were sus-
pended to one cows neck in a herd, so
that the beasts could be easily found
when they strayed away in the woods,
but they are smaller, being only about
three inches long. The metal is brass,
with embellished surfaces. although in
extreme cases of extravaganza gold may
be used. They dangle at the ends of
chains from the wearer's belt, and the
clappers tinkle against the inner sides
with more or less noise according to the
gait of the girl. If she treads hard and
fast, there is considerable ringing, but if
she be an easy stopper the sound is only
an occasional clink, something like that
Of the brass heels once worn on shoes.
1t is TO be hoped that these bells will not
''ring out the old notions of modesty,
or .'ring in the new ones Of audacity;
but there probably is no danger of the
style getting into voy que with other than
those who desire o. force attention to
