From the 1st of the month up to the 18th,
rain fell every day, the one fair day being
followed by six more of wet weather. The rain
fall was, however, by no means unusual, with
the exception of the 18th, when LIS inches of
rain fell-a record never equaled in any pre-
ceding year. In June, 1859. Is days were
rainy; in June, 1885. Is days were rainy; in June
1887, there were IA days of wet weather; in
June, 1886. the wettest month on record, there
were 10 days on which rain fell; in June. 1885
IA days; in June, 1884 IL days; in June, 1888 Is
days. and in June 1882 IA days. SO that the last
june holds the record as being the most con-
tinuously wet for a number of years. A
peculiar feature Of the Signal Service record is
that it shows extremely heavy rainfall dur
ing the middle of the month. By reference to
the table 1t will be seen that June 1883 had
eight consecutive days of fair weather
The temperature of last June was extremely
variable, the thermometer ductuating from
hot to cold almost every "a hours The maxi

THE fact that the first time that precious
anti-dressed beef law was brought into the
courts, it was decided to be unconstitutional,
only fulflls what was foregone conclusion
from the start. One State cannot shut out
the products of another by any device or
evasion of the United States Constitution,
however much it may be to the profit of in
terested parties to do it. This is nation;
and protective lines between the States were
debarred when the Constitution was adopted
that made it nation.

tribute to the uistresses of our homes and
hearts

THE report that trust deals are on foot to
monopollze the natural gas business and the
coal industry of Pittsburg sounds rather
alarming. With regard to the natural gas
business, attempts to control that branch of
the supply of fuel by combinations, have
already developed the fact that free compe-
tition is still possible. In monopolizing
the coal industry the combination will have
to purchase all the coal lands, not only of
Western Pennsylvania but of West Vir-
ginia. 1t is possible for the trusts to un-
dertake the proverbial but excessive task of
biting off more than they can chew.

THE reward of modest merit may be long
delayed, and hope deferred continued to

Collectorship Of Philadelphia.
