Mr.. HARTER On my trip through
Northern Pennsylvania, / conclud-
ed to visit the famous "Harveys
Lake. / left Wyoming, Luzerne
county, Pa, on Saturday evening
on the Harvey Lake II. r., n ride of
about II miles brought us here.
After leaving the train several steam
ers awaited us to take us to the
hotels. This is ride of about four
miles over the lake. / am stopping
at the Lake Grove House, Mr.. W.
l.. Rrice proprietor, Il jolly, good
hearted fellow. The air is very cool
here and there is heavy breeze all
the time. The water in some places
is about so to 100 feet deep. There
is splendid fishing here, the waters
abound in pickerel, bass, catfish, &c.
There are many pleasure seekers
here, and early on Sabbath morning
carriages filed with people came in
until the hotel and park was crowd
ed, many parties from Wilkesbarre,
Philadelphia, Pittston &c. are
camping here. This is one of the
finest Summer Resorts in the State
Near this place is the famous Ice
Gave, where you can enter during
any time of the year and find ice
freezing. 1t is considered quite a
curiosity. There is n beautiful
driving road around the lake, max
ing a drive of about ten miles. Let
all who enjoy trip during the sum
mer visit Harvey's lake.

To Succeed at Housekeeping

The original and divine idea of
married life is that of family home
over which the husband and wife
shall preside and so housekeeping
is the normal condition of such II
life. How ever, II normal condition
may be rendered failure by mis-
management or the perverseness of
those who have part therein. In
this world anything good may be
perverted, and the greatest blessings
changed into Il curse. And so house
Keeping, the proper thing for all
married people, may be made fail
ure III given instances. 1t cannot
he II failure on the whole unless all
family life shall prove to be a fail
urc.
Marriage without housekeeping is
II hybrid of modern invention, which
is about equal to life without n
home. 1t is true many married peo-
pie board and claim to find pleasure
therein, but that shows an abnor-
NAL taste which has grown up
through lack of knowledge of any
thing better.
But, then, it cannot he denied
that some wives are unfit to preside
over Il home. They do not know
how to make good bread, or prop
erly broil II becfsteak, or put to-
sether the ingredients of pudding,
and so their cooking upsets and de
ranges the digestive organs, breeds
dyspepsia and biliousness, and LAYS
the foundation for making the hus-
band II sinner beyond the power of
divine grace to prevent it. There is
also wastefulness that spends
money to no profit in the line of
comfort, and a lack of tidiness which
destroys all attractiveness of home
surroundings. Such housekeeping
is unquestionably a failure, and a
failure often because the wife was
never taught or trained in better
ways. The real difficulty dates
back to former generation and
therefore, cannot be corrected il
the present. But there is no reason
why this lack of training should &c
dawn to curse the next generation
All girls may be trained and should
he trained by. skillful teachers in al
the arts of housekeeping.

Lucy Webb Hayes, wife Of ex-
President Hayes, died last Tuesday
morning from the effects of a stroke
Of paralysis. In her position as wife
of the chief magistrate of this country
Mrs. Hayes was for four years promi-
nently before the people, and gained
the respect of all. She was always q
womanly woman in the highest sense,
and will ever be bright example
before the girls of this land. Her
convictions of right and duty were
strong and she was always guided by
them. The strong stand taken by
her i'll refusing to offer liquors to
guests at the public receptions at the
White House, while she was mistress
there, won for her the particular adj
miration and regard Of the large
membership of the w. C. r. U.
throughout the different states. Her
life exemplifed that which is highest
and best in womanhood, and her
memory will ever be revcred.

A controversy has arisen between
the national and state governments
over the swamp lands granted to the
state. The surveys are made by
national authority, and the slate Sc
lects lands that are certified as swamp
lands on the government records.
Settlers have entered some of these
lands and claim that the national
surveys are incorrect in declaring
them swamp lands. The question is
whether the national authorities can
60 back on their records and refuse
to grant the state the lands that were
selected according to agreement.
State Auditor Braden was in Wash
ington last week to look after the in
forests Of Minnesota in the matter.

White Flat Dutch and rurple.top Strap leaf,
can be sown the last Of July or first Of August
We once had q fine crop of Swede turnips sown
the fourth OF July, but the soil and season was
unusually favorable. Ofcourse much depends
on the latitude-the far ther south the later you
can SOW a plant We have had good potatoes
from carly varieties planted the latter half Of
June Early varieties OF beans can DO planted
the last Of June or the beginning of July. Also
early varieties Of sweet corn. Hungarian grass
or mtllet can be sown to advantag in July,
the earlier the better. Make the ground as fine
aud mellow as possible, and SOW evenly from
three pecks to a bushel ofsee.l per acre. Cucum-
beers anu pickles are sown the last Of June to
the middle Of July. Cabbage and caultower
eau be set out any time in July but towards the
last of the month 1t will be well to plant early
kinds. such as Winningstadt and Hendersons
Summer among cabbage, and earley Paris and
early Erfurt among caulihowers. Snnwballs
and Eriurt Earliest Dwarf caa be planted as late

Reduced Lumber Production.

Minneap polls L,mbcrman Conditions which
have thus far prevailed this season have con.
spired to reduce lumber production. 4 good
many mills have been shut down from one to
four weeks-sonle Of them are shut down now,
and more Of them are likely to be in few
weeks, This is particularly true of several III
the Duluth district ana at Cloquet. In addition
to this fact none of the mill owners have had i'll
the condition Of their log supply any stimulus to
push their operations. The result of all this
| continued lis must this condition be for some
time to come, will be that much loss lumber
will be made than was made last year. It is safe
to predict that the production in Minneapolis
will be nearly 1Go, 100000 feet less than it was
last year, and probably $50 0)o 900 to 200 0o0 900
less in the Mississippi valley below Minnea polls
There will be very large reduction in Duluth
| and some in the Ashlend district. There is no
reason why most OF the railroad mills should
not cut as much as In some previous years. They
are less effected by drouth than the mills situa-
ted on the streams. 1t may be urged with con
| siderable force that this reduction i'll production
will no more than reduce stocks to Il normal
condition; that the surplus vt the end of the
saving season was greater than will be the fall
| ing off in production and that this circumstance
| therefore should be found an excuse for not ad-
yanclng prices. But prices have been dropped
| down 10 a level based on the ovcrstocks in the
| corresponding with the present situation ana
| the altogether !iattcring prospects which are
presented.
