Like the siesta, which the natives of
southern countries take at monday,
midsummer seems the fitting time for
a rest from regular pursuits. Ii the
months vacation is not possible, how
ever, and even q week not to be

half day, is not to be despised, and
should be insisted upon. Indeed, If
taken often throughout the year.
the days outing Is probably OF
greater hygienic value than the longer
period. The first and last requisite to
make the day profitable is to spend it

ing that it doesn't incline to break the
commandments and that it leads to
something entirely outside the usual
routine. Go fishing; if you like that.

Rest Absolutely Essential to Avoid a Men.
tai and Physical Breakdown.
Although ''going away for the sum-
mer" has long been fashionable, and
summer vacations have become GUS
tomary among nearly all classes OF
people, great many persons yet re-
main who do not leave their homes or
business from years end to years end.
These stay-at-hOmes are not always
ssuch from inclination: usually they
would prefer TO indulge in the annual
outing with their neighbors, but neces-
sity, or fancied necessity, which is the
same in effect, chains them to the
daily round of duties. To all appear
ances they suffer neither in health nor
strength by this lack of rest and rec
reation, and are apt to plume them
selves upon their physical stamina.
In the course of time, however, the
monotony of their lives tell in loss of
spirits, breaking down of nervous
force; and rest. often prolonged and
sometimes useless. because too late,
must be taken regardless of convent
once. Whether it is better to wait
until such a breakdown occurs or to
ward it off by proper care of soul and
body, are questions to which there
can be but one answer And it is the
mind rather than the body which, in
most cases, needs the greater atten-
ton People, however combining their
occupations, are not apt TO overwork
themselves physically; summer vaca-
tions are not SO much needed to give
rest to tired muscle. a. To tired brains:

quired to give a new turn TO thoughts
that have been TOO much in one
groove. More farmers wives are found

spirited manner, the arms of both
parties are Outstretched, they rush to-
gether for a second, their breasts
barely touch, and while the observer
is watching for kiss to follow this
ardent salute they separate; and the
Rbrazo is finished. The extreme
frankness accompanying it compels
one to admire the custom. for it means
no more than handshaking among the
wasps, although with d slender body,
no thicker than bOdkin; some so tiny
that they can scarce be seen with the
naked eye; but all are alike in their
habits. Watch one. large or small, as
he settles upon leaf. Straightway
he begins to hunt up and down with
quick eager motion, like a dog quar-
tering a turnip field for cartridges.
Up and down, below and above, prying
into every Granny, he hunts. hurrying
from one leaf to another until he finds
a caterpillar. He wastes no time with
him, he thrusts the long ovipositor
through the skin and places an egg
snugly there. He repeats this two,
three. or half dozen times. according
to his own size and that to which the
caterpillar will grow. His young ones
must be fed when they are Matched,
anu it would not do to lay more than
the c;:-erpillar can support What the
sensations of the caterpillar are when
thus treated no one has so far attempt
ed "a explain. II gives a little vince
each time the operation is performed,
and then pursues its vocation as
quiz : as if nothing had happened.
The can be little doubt that it
is ,"Hfoundly discouraged; it must
feel that all its efforts to elude
lie foe have been wasted. 1t doubt
i.-~s knows that it has received it's
death wound, that it will never soar
=. he air as a bright-winged butterfly,
but that its chrysalis state will be its
last. Ii speaks well then, for the
sense of duty of the caterpillar that it
goes doggedly ON as before, eatisg as
largely and steadily as if nothing had
occurred. and showing no sign of pain
or disturbance at the birth of foes who
soon begin to gnaw away in its inte-
rior. 1t is to be hoped. indeed. that it
suffers but slightly. The organs of
the caterpillar are simple. 1t is a
small tube, and il il probable that it's
sensibility is slight: still it is inevitable
that il must suffer more or less, but It
goes on until. just as it is about to as
sumo the chrysalis state. or just after
it has done SO. il dies, and the little
ichneumons make their way through
Its skin. and after a brief repose, fly
away TO recOmmence the deadly work
of their parents. 1t i calculated that
fully eighty per cent. of caterpillars are
slaiu 10y ichneumOnS.
The caterpillar is distinguished for
its imperturbable good temper; no one
has yet witnessed good stand-up fight
between two caterpillers. Even when
browsing in hundreds upon a leaf,
each caterpillar continues it's work of
eating, wholly regardless of the null
titude feeding around it.-LOndOn

IN a WELSH CHURCH.
A Congregation Whose Simple Earnestnes
Proved to lie Contagious.

A congregation Whose Simple Earnestness
Proved to lie Contagious.
When you are in Rome, do as the
Romans do: which, being interpreted,
means, when you are in Wales, 60 to
the Welsh church. When Sunday
came. as the long, peaceful day drew
near its close, We went down the shady
road and over the bridge, in search of
| the parish church. There is also an
English church, much finer and more
exclusive, we were told. But we
abided by our first choice. The build
ing itself is modern, but the grounds
look so old that il is probable it occu-
pies the site of an older structure. A
pavement of broad slate tagging runs
around it, bordered with shrubs and
flowers. Some very old graves were
in the inclOsure. There were several
doors, and it was a question at which
we were expected to enter. Two
chubby-faced boys came round the
corner in great haste. "Choir boys"
/ said, and was fain to ask for guild
ance; but they vanished like two
flashes of lightning. At length, by ones
and by twOs, the wOrshipers began to
assemble, and we followed the crowd.
1t is a curious place, to American eyes.
that low Welsh Church-long, mar
row, with stone walls, immense stone
columns. brick paved floor in the nave
and choir, and tiled floor in the chan
eel. Imperishable it looked, even
though it is the product of our ephem-
eral to-day-as if it might outlast the
pyramids: and it is as se~c"e;y plain
as any flagstaff. The congregation,
made uD as it was of the common peo-
pie, the working classes, interested us
greatly. There was hardly person
in the seats who would have been
called, in common parlance, a lady or
a gentleman. The clothes were rough
and plain, but generally clean and
comfortable. Many of the men were
in their shirt-sleeves Behind us sat
an old woman in black, the oldest of
apparitiOns, who stared at us as il we
belonged to another world So small, so
withered, so weather-beaten was she,
in costume that belonged to the past
ages, that we certainly felt as if she
did not belong tn ours. A supplied
choir of men and boys-alas that /
should say it, but those surplices badly
needed soap and water!-discoursed
sweet music, singing to Hamburg and
other familiar old tunes their wild
Welsh hymns. The air of the place
was reverent. The voices in the re-
spouse were low and earnest. The
young nea ael maidens were quiet and
their elders were devout.
As for the sermon, | understood but
three words of it: Apostle Paul. and
''Galatia:" but it was, after all, as in
teresting as any | ever listened to. |
Earnestness is contagious, and the pale,
speaker held our absorbed at
tentiOn from first to last. But il was
easy to follow the service, which was |
that of the Church of England, and |
prayer is prayer. whether the tongue |
be Welsh or English.-JuliG c. X.

DEATH OF JAMES 8. WEIGH.
A Striking Incident of His Career in
War Times.

James s. WEIGH, formerly of the firm of WEIGH
& Herr, millers, in Georgetown, died last night
at about o'clock at his residence in Alexan-
dria county, Va, at the advanced age of sew
enty-six years. He had for the last two years
been in failing health with bronchial affec-
ton, complicated with stomach trouble.
NJ. WEIGH was native of Virginia and came
to Georgetown during the war. Previously he
had established himself in prosperous milling
business at Harper's Ferry, but scarcely had
the war begun when his mills we're destroyed
by himself in this way: The confederate forces,
fearing the federal troops would be supplied
with bread stuffs, set fire to the mills, but the
flames were extinguished or died out before
any great damage was done. Mr.. WEIGH was
visited by an officer of the confederate army,
who demanded why he extinguished the fire.
Mr.. WEIGH declared that he had not done so
and that he would show them how to set mill
on fire. whereupon he procured a candle and
placed it under the elevator shaft, and in a
short time his mills were reduced to ashes. He
then came to Georgetown and carried on the
milling business
MIR. WEIGH was well known and highly es-
teemed in Georgetown during his residence
there until about eleven years ago, when he
retired from business to his residence IN Vir-
gnla. He leaves six sons, one Of whom is Mr..
James Il. WEIGH, the well-known -four in
