All these characteristics appear TO the best
advantage in both sexes while young, grown
up women losing their bloom at an early age,
and men whitening 0pace under the influence
of the climate, hard work, and their own
fiery passions Really handsome faces, with
regular lincamentS, are the prerogative Of
girls and boys, and especially among the
latter charming specimens of humanity are
met with, models for cheruhs as well as for
picturesque raSamutins, The great painters
of the italian renaissance loved to depict the
handsome pages, who at that time were an
Indispensable appendage to the households of
the mobiles.
Artists of the mo Tern Italian school have
revived the tradition by selecting peasant
boys and girls of the present day for their
models In the cut is represented ono of the
merry, ragged urchns TO be met now in

VIII This BE q Hot Summer?

Indiana Pharmacist predicts that this will
prove a hot summer upon the following
theory. which has been advanced by others:
The weather seems to run in cycles Of about
seven years; that is, when we have n hot
summer, it is always followed by cold one,
and it takes about seven years to reach an
other equally hot. 1t will be remembered by
many that the summer of 1867 was very hot,
and so dry that during August the grass
crumbled under the feet when trod upon.
The summer of 1868 was noted for its cool
ness, the thermometer very seldom getting
above So dogs, and we did not reach the top
wave of thermality again until 1874, when it
was extremely hot. The following summer
was cold to remarkable degree. From
then on the summers grew gradually
warmer until 1881, which was excessively
hot and very dry no rain falling for over
nine weeks, and there were more sunstrokes
that summer than there has been in all the
summers since The summer of 1882 was
quite cold a few fakes of snow fell on the
morning of July 4, followed by hail in the
afternoon, and during the rest of the month
and through the month of August the tenn
perature was so low that overcoats were
necessary for comfort, particularly at night
The summers since 1889 have grown warmer
and warmer, and last summer was a moder-
ately hot one, but unless all signs fail, the
coming summer will be the climax of the
cycle, and hot, dry season may be expected.

An English cook gives the following recipe
for it; Peel and cut up the rhubarb, boil till

lemon, cut in slices, to every pound of pulp;
boil for three quarters of an hour or an hour,
remove the lemon peel and put into pots.

Borne from world above,

We stay TO this hour from his love.

Balance 1t carefully on the point of a needle
which may be supported by q cork, and We
have little wind mil which, when the hand
is brought near it, will revolve with more or
less rapidity. The motion of course, is due
to the currents of air arising from the warm
hand; and the varying rapidity of rotation
with different persons is not due to any oc-
cult magnetic influence, but simply to the
degrees of warmth in their hands. The
movement is more rapid if both hands are
placed around the apparatus instead Of one.

In examining the many curious articles
entering iuto the make up of this part of
Uncle Sans display, one will see illus
trntions of all the principle instruments
connected with observatory work. Here
are equatorial telescopes, transit instru-
ments, photo-heliograph Especially de-
Signed and used for observations OF the
transit of Venus), and all the necessary
clocks, chronographs and electrical an
planes. You will also observe the
workings of the new Government time
service, that supplies the correct time
from Washington 10 1000 miles OF rail
road, directly, and thousands of addi-
tonal miles indirectly. 1t is so mr.
