For sometime this summer the
temperature in this city has been
in the nineties. A well known To-
cal weather prophet said this morn
ing if the people along the sea
coast had been subjected to such
temperature many would have
died. This fact, he said, was on
account of the great humidity of
the atmosphere. The atmosphere
is like sponge. 1t absorbs mois-
ture until it becomes so full that a
cloud is formed and the water falls
in the form of rain. AS the per-
centage of moisture in the air in
creases the heat seems more op-
pressive because the greater the
saturation the less the tendency of
the air to take up the Precipitation
from the body. Were it not for the
absorption of the moisture from the
body by the air, it would be about
impossible to exist. As the tenn
perature raises the air expands and
its capacity for moisture increases.

I caught string of beauties
Up on the North Fork to-day,
The finest trout that were e'er pulled out
But the Biggest One Got Away!
And down in the mill pond meadow
The boys that were making hay
With forks and rakes, killed 5000 snakes
But the Biggest One Got Away.
And so have heard of liars
Since Ananias' day;
There are just few that receive their due

More than three weeks had now elapsed
since the abduction; but Fairfax kept him
self so closely concealed that Natalie was
not even aware of his presence.
One day, however, returning from a
drive, she distinctly heard the piano sound

slow movement from one of Beethoven's
sonatas Quickly entering the house, she
found no one within. Blanche was in the
adjoining room, busting the furniture.
Undoubtedly the maid had been cleaning
the keys of the piano end accidentally
struck the notes that seemed to complete
the matchless adagio of the master.

There Is no cheerfulness in the
world comparable TO that afforded
by the daily life Of large family.
There may be an equal amountof hap
piness in a small family, there may
be depth Of bliss where only two
are together Of which the life lived by
ten or dozen could afford no idea; ;
but for the cheer Of varied interests,
Of lively voices, Of going and coming,
Of song and laughter, Of moving fig
ures, of the sense of action and life,
what can be desired better than fam
lily where father and mother and
grandmother, aunts and children,
made the round dozen9 In small
family it is difficult to keep up the
wide interest in people and neighbor-
hood which does great deal to pro-
mote cheerfulness; it is difficult to
keep up such interest in more than a
very few, from the mere want Of time,
from the difficulty Of getting about,
and the impossibility of being in more
than one place at a time, il from no
other reason. But where there are q
number Of people under the roof, that
answers every purpose, as each one
bringing in keen feeling for the af-
fairs Of several other, the whole to-
gether maintain a wide and deep con-
nection from which cheerfulness is
precipitated like a salt from its COM
ponent gases But, apart from the
cheer derived from intercourse and re-
lationship with the outside multitude
by means Of a large family's varied &C.
quaintance, comes that derived from
other sources in consequence Of our
full circle.
This member of the large household
is the one devoted to charity; all the
rest do great deal of vicarious char
ity, as we may call it, through that
channel, and feel content with salts
done, which sense, whether it con-
tributes to virtue or not, does, at any
rate, to cheerfulness, and it Is cheer
fulness Of which we are speaking.
This other member is the student Of
science, and out Of the chance con.
versation, the books, plates, expert
ments, and experiences of this in
dividual the rest hive a sufficient
amount Of scientific honey for their
own uses, and are enriched with learn
ing without the least cxertion Of their
own, receiving il, as il were, through
the pores. These others, again, do the

remainder who ~ quietly inclined "a

In the gay ones enjoyment, see what

have, and never have 10 leave their

Of piano playing, and mornings Of

Of perpetual ringing Of joy BELLS II
