LIFE ON THE FARM.

At the foot of the hill the milk house stands.
Where the balm of Gilead spreads his hands,
And the willow trails at each pendant tip,
The lazy lash of golden whip,
And an ce.cold spring with tinkling sound
Makes bright green edge for the dark green
ground.
Cool as a cave is the air within,
Brave are the shelves with the FURNISHED tin
or the curving shores, and the seas OF white
That turn to gold in a single night,
As If the disc Of a winter moon
should take the tint Of new doubloon!
Burned 10 a coal is the amber day,
Moons ! endid fire has faded away,
And. lodged on the edge OF world grass
grown,
Like a great live ember glows the sun;
When 1t falls behind the crimson bars
Look out for the sparks Of the early stars.
With the clang Of her bella motherly brown
No trace of her lineage handed down
Is leading the long deliberate line
OF the Devons red and the Durhams fine;
GO boss - "Co-boss - and the caravan
With a dowsger swing comes down the lane
And lowing along from the clover bed
Troops over the bars with numbering tread.
Under the lee Of the patient beasts,
on their tripod stools like Pythian priests,
The tow-clad boys and the llnsey girls
Make the cows give down" in milky swirls.
There's a stormy time in the drifted pals.
There's a ses-foam swath in the driving gales,
Then girls and boys with whistle and song,
Two pals apiece meander along
The winding path in the golden gloom,
And set the milk in the twilight room.

and well People have somehow got
the idea that nothing II valuable that

to value all blessings by the money

Always bear in mind that the three

ed bounty-all are free TO all, they are
everywhere, and can be had witho ut

II you would enjoy good health. see
that you have pure air to breathe all
the time, that you receive the direct
benefit of the sunshine ali hour or two
every day. and that you quench your
thirst with nothing but pure water.
Houses should be 20 built that every
room occupied for living or sleep
ing purposes shall receive the full ben
eft Of the direct sunlight at some time
Of the day.
The sleeping rooms should always
be large and roorny, and II possible
have an eastern exposure to receive
the benefit Of the morning sun Too
many shade trees too close to the
house are an injury rather than ben
eft; and should be removed II they
prevent free access Of the sunlight to
all the rooms.

WHAT ARE SHOOTING STARSP

What do we know as certain facts
with regard to shooting stars /. They
are vastly more numerous than any
one has an idea who has not watched
them continually for many nights.
Astronomers who have kept IA record
for many years assure US that the av-
erage number seen by one observer at
one place on clear mOonless night il
fourteen per hour, which is shown by
calculation 10 be equivalent to %, ,0OO,-
600 daily for the whole earth. ?. They
are not terrestrial phenomena moving
in the lower atmosphere, but celestial
bodies moving in orbits and with We
locities comparable to those Of planets
and comets Their velocities are sell
dom under ten miles second or over
fifty, and average about thirty, the
velocity OF the earth in its orbit round
the sun being eighteen. 3. They are
Of various composition, comprising
both large majority Of smaller par
ticles which are set on fire by the re-
sistance Of the earth's atmosphere and
entirely burned up and resolved into
vapor long before they reach its sur
face, and few larger ones, known a
meteors, which are only partly fused
or glazed by heat. and reach the earth
in the form Of stony masses. a. They
are not uniformly distributed through
space. but collect in meteoric swarms
or streams, two at least Of which re-
volve around the sun in closed rings
which are intersected by the earth's
orbit, causing the magnificent displays
Of shooting stars which are seen in Au-
gust and November 3. They are con
nected with comets, it having been
demonstrated by Schiaparelli that the
orbit Of the comet Of 1865 Is Identical
with the August swarm Of meteors
known "a the Perseids, and connec-
tions between comets and meteors
streams have been found in at least
three other cases The fact is gener-
ally believed that comets are nothing
but condensation Of meteorites rem
dered incandescent by the heat gen
Grated by their mutual collision when
brought into close proximity. g. Their
composition, a. inferred from the
larger meteors which reach the earth,
is identical. or nearly so, with that Of
matter brought up from great depths
by volcanic eruptions. In each case
they consist OF two classes-one com
posed mainly Of native iron alloyed
with nickel, the other Of stony mat
ter, consisting mainly Of compounds
Of silicon and magnesium. Most me
teorites consist Of compounds Of the
two classes, in which the stony parts
seem TO have broken into fragments
by violent collision and become i'm
bedded in iron which has been fused
by the heat into a plaster or pasty
condition.
