The New Book Of Cary Poems.

Tho early and Late Poems" Of Alice and
Phoebe Gary aro warmly welcomed, rs was
to be expected, for tho readers of the poems
of these sisters are numbered by the tens of
thousands, and many had failed to find In
the Household Edition pieces which they
desired to preserve. The new book Is On
trely distinct from the former. The Prov
idence Journal we'll says;
Their poems have won the warm admira-
ton of many thousands Of readers who have
found their philosophy tender and true,
their sympathies heartfelt and hopeful, and
thoir thomes such ns are fitted for human
natures daily food If they do not soar Ia
the heights of human emotion, thoy do not
plunge to the depths of human passion,
Keeping midway between the two extremes
thew sing their sweet songs In harmonious
versifcation, seeking inspiration In every
day themes, comforting the sad. and bring
ing rest to tho weary and heavy laden
Authors are not always the best judges of
their writings, fact of which thii
volume furnishes another illustration. It's
contents are not included in tho regular cdi
ton of the poems of the Gary sisters, yet in
some respects this collection impresses the
mind of the reader more favorably than
those of the larger volume. They are more
unstudicd and hence more natural, nor dc
they exhibit that sameness which becomes
rather monotonous In the larger collection
Houghton, Mifiiin & Co., Boston, are the
publishers of the volume under notice whicl
exhibits their usual superiority as boob
makers. Price 41.50.

To.Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue Is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inflamed, then
accommodations form in the air-cells Of
tho lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction OF the tissue. 1t Is
plain, therefore, that, until tho hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tabes
can have no opportunity to heal.

CROP REPORTS.
The Weather Favorable to the Growing
Cereals of the Northwest.

The weather-crop bulletin for the week
ended Saturday. July 81, issued by the Sig
nal Office at Washington, shows that the
week has been cooler than usual in all dis
tricts except in Dakota and on the Pacific
coast. where il has been warmer. 1t says;
There has been excess Of rainfall during the
week generally throughout the central valleys in
northern portions Of Minnesota and Dakota, and
in western portions Of Kansas, Nebraska, and
New York. There was almost a total absence Of
rain in Michigan, Northern Indiana, and North
eastern Illinois The weather during the week
has been favorable for the growing crops in the
wheat and corn regions OF the Northwest the
recent heavy rains followed by excess OF sun
shine, have greatly improved the condition OF
corn and oats, which are generally reported in
excellent condition. but more rain is needed in
portions of Michigan for these crops Reports
from Kansas indicate that crops have been
considerably damaged 10y hail Reports from
Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Alabama and Mississippi show that the crops
conditions have been improved by the favorable
weather during the last week. More rain is
needed in North and South Carolina, although in
the latter State the weather was favorable for
cotton. In New jersey and Pennsylvania the
wheat, rye and hay harvests have been about
completed during the favorable weather Of the
last week. The weather conditions in these two
States have been unusually favorable for staple
crops.
