An OLD SERMON.

o man, who'er thou be.
Look W II about and src
How, nn this mortal star,
All things com ,nu dcd are
Oflhc four elements,
Though, to thy baillrd sense.
Through many forms they range
And are $, swift to change
These, in their nature sure,
Alone do still endure,
And thou from each IN turn,
Shalt "A wise lesson earn.
First thou shall, view the soil,
Giv,n to thy patient toll;
see how the t,ening earth
TO all good things give birth!
Halfthc year cold she lies,
Buried in snow and ice,
But when the days of spring
Back the warm sunshine bring.
Meckly he smiles again,
Forgetting all her pain,
And when we wound her fields
Harvest most rich she yields.
So when God tries thy heart
Kccnly wllh ch and smart,
When pam and peri! sland,
Threatening, at either hand,
And VIII II the ram Of @lnf
Brings thy spent soul relief,
See hat in songs of praise
Snil thy faint voice tho' raise,
Aud that thou yi brave deeds
Although thy weak heart blccds.
Regard then thou the sea,
Which, though 50 seeming tree,
Y,t a fixed law "hrys
Through all It's rrant ways.

Re.peopIInR New England.

New Hampshire has gone into the
business OF immigration as we'll as
Vermont, but with less show OF neces.
sity for doing SO. There are many
vacant farms in and around the White
Mountains, as tourists know very well,
but the summer boarder has done for
New Hampshire what 1t has not done
for Vermont. He has made a mar ket
for the poverty-stricken farmer, and
eaten his corn und pot toes at a fair
profit for the tiller OF the soil. No such
happy luck has come 10 the Vermont
farmer, and the deserted farms in that
state are ten TO one compared with
those TO be found in New Hampshire.
This does not lessen the gravity OF the
situation, however. for there are large
tracts in Vermont, New Hampshire,
Maine, Connecticut, and even in Mas
sachusetts, where to-day you can buy
Il farm for song, and where Firms,
Swedes, lcelanders or French-Cana-
dians are cordially invited to succeed
the Anglo-Saxons, who have run away
TO engage in more lucrative enterpris-
es. The restocking OF the remote
towns is one OF the questions OF our
SOCIAL economy. u is pldlu IIlhJ lreeu
blood must be taken TO them, and it is
believed that the honest agriculturists
OF the Old World constitute some OF
the very best elements which can be
transplanted to New England. This
matter OF resettling the vacant farms is
not to be dismissed, however by simp-
ly sending for the foreigner. Vermont
and New Hampshire have done wisely
in appointing n commissioner to look
into this matter OF restitution, so that
the facts can be fully known. Let the
other New England states do the same,
and by the study OF the facts thus
brought together we shall learn
great deal about the social, economic,
and industrial condition of our country
towns. Nothing can be done that re-
ally is worth while until Information
is collected together and the right sort
OF inquiries are instituted. II is a
matter OF congratulation that New
Hampshire and Vermont have taken
this subject up so wisely and SO well.

HOW TO USE PERFUME.
Satchelfor Gloves and All Articles
of Woman's Dress.

Years ago it was the proper thing
for girl TO rinse her lace handker-
chief in the scent-bottle," id per-
fumer TO reportar rece ntly. such
a proceeding is now regarded as hav-
ing in it touch OF the cheaply COM
mon. for if there is one article OF
fashionable equipment that is not per-
fumed it is the handkerchief.
Hosiery and gloves slumber in
beds OF sweet or IS and rose leaves;
lace, wraps and underwear have their
separate satchel pillows; dresses are
hung among the bags of sweet clover,
which perfume every closet Even
bonnet-boxes emit fragrant odors when
uncovered. and in the Innings Of many
overcoats the wadding is busted with
orris, but not Il trace OF scent hangs
about the sheer little square OF lace
edged null. The deficiency. however,
is more than counterbalanced oy faint,
sweet odorS which linger about the
folds and hem of dress skirts. Even
card cases and pocketbooks are per-
fumed, and SO is the small blotter
bought with the fashionable stationery.
'But these items are insignificant
compared with the cost OF pertaining
summer outfit, which requires the
services OF maid and an outlay equiv
alent to that expended for gloves and
shoes. For instance, there is the cor
sage sachet made OF fine satin to
match the dress, and filled with per-
fume too delicious for description.
The sacks, which are an inch square,
retail ut 80 a dozen, and it takes about
twenty to round the edge OF n Joso-
phine dress. or course every low cor
sage has 10 be sacheted and il belle
cares TO buy them by the hundred she
is charged at the rate OF fifty cents
each.
Another perfume trick is to
pour scent over the hair just back of
the crimps or frizzes. Every woman
rubs the stopper OF her scent bottle
across her lips and eyebrows before
leaving the mirror, and the habit OF
dousing feather or satin fan with
wild rose or blue bells of Scotland is rs
old as vanity itself. The pulled sleeves
Of the hour are also used TO sweeten q
woman's presence, the essence OF
chypre, magnolia orr jasmine being pla-
ced among the gathers at the elbow,
where it is least liable TO be detected
and most readily 10 be perceived. y

fabrics contain large quantity of air
entangled in their meshes, which, being
a poor conductor OF heat adds consid-
erably To the warmth OF clothing made

light cotton or linen clothing so as to
allow as much Of the bodily heat to
escape as possible. There Is a preju-
dice in favor of light colored clothing
for summer wear, but it is hardly based
on scientific grounds. Dark colored
cloth Is the best radiator, allowing the

Mellnite.

A French officer, in speaking OF me-
Unite TO a representative OF the
Times, said: "Our shells for field
artillery. as we'll as those for our
forts and siege guns, are charged
with melinite. What melinite Is
we do not know, and II we knew
we should be very careful not to-
tell" Both the Italians and the Ger
mans have sent spies to discover the
secret. and TO offer money for even
the smallest fragments, but they have
all been captured. All that can be-
said is that, according to treatise
published in 1882. melinite Is compos-
ed OF melted picric acid. But in the
interval our artillerists have perfected
the discovery OF M. Turpin. They have
made melinite a tractable product.
The effects Of this explosive were fully
demonstrated in some experiments at
the Fort OF Malmaison in 1886. Nell

A Paradise for hnnfnra.

People who think OF Finland rs h
sub-arctic country OF bleak and for
bidding aspect may be surprised to
hear that several railroads have al
read- made large part OF the region
accessible. A new line, 100 miles
long, has just been opened to the
heart of the country in the midst OF
the great forests and perhaps the most
wonderful lake region in the world.
Sportsmen are now within less than a
days journey from st. Petersburg OF
Central Finland, where there Is the
best of hunting and fishing and twenty
hours OF sunlight every summer dry.
The most unique of railroads, however,
is still the little limo in Norway, north
OF the arctic circle, carrying the pro.
duct OF far northern mines to the sea,
and famous rs the only railroad that
has yet invaded the polar regions.
