WHAT MAKES THE SUMMER.

II is not the lark'S clear tone
Chewing the morning air with a soaring cry
Nor the nightngalc'S dulCct melody all the balmy
night
Not these alone
Make the sweet sounds Of summer
Bul the drunr Of beetle and bee. the mUrmurOuS
hum OF the fly
And the chirp II the cricket hidden ont Of sight
These help ~ make III" summer.
Not roses rrdlN blown.
Nor golden lilies. lighting the ,usky mead.
Nor proud, imperial pinSIrN, nor queen cups
quaint and rare
Not these alone
Make the sweet sights OF summer;
But the countless forest leaves, the my rad NaN>idc
weeds
And slender grasses SprinEing up everywhere.
These help tO make the summer.
buc heaven bends above;
The lOwic>t head ofttincS hath sweetest rest;
Ger song bird IN the pine, and bee in the ivy low.
Is the same love, it is all Gods summer;
Well pleased is He II Ne patiently do our best.
so mum. little bee and low green grasses grow,

The city owns lot on Market street from
which it now derives small income. A
large number of the citizens of Portland ask
tnat instead OF continuing to use this prop.
erty as at present the city shall erect upon
1t building suitable for exhibiting the in
dustries Of Portland. 1t is represented that
company will lease this building for a
term OF years, paying the city yearly rental
ana that when the lease expires and the
building passes into the hands of the city, a
gooo income can still be derived from 1t by
letting part of 1t for market or for small
ma ufactures, and using the remainder
for armol.es Tor our military companies.
These are, ID brief, the representations
which the gentlemen make who are inter
ested in the erection Of new building on
this lot. They do not ask the city to go into
the show Business. They simply ask that it
shall employ q piece of property which it
now owns, In way which. they believe, will
make 1t more productive. That the city has
the legal right to do what is asked does not
admit of doubt. The question Is entirely
one of expedency. And in order to settle
1t more information is necessary. 1t must
be known how much building such
as is required will cost, how much the COM
pany that proposes to lease it will pay for
rental, and how long it will lease it for.
Then the chances Of letting it probably or
selling it at fair price after this company
is done with it mist be considered. If it is
satisfactorily shown THAT the proposed i'm
proyement of the lot will be profitable in
vestmentfor the city, and that such a build
ing ss is proposed is needed for public pur-
poses, then there would seem to be no seri-
GUS objection to the scheme. That it will in
cidentally benefit the business of Portland
merchants and manufacturers is surely not
an objection.

Secretary Rush has issued a pamphlet Civ

stations which have been established under
recent law of Congress. and are now con
Quoting scientific and practical experiments
in regard TO soil, tillage. manure, crops, stock
feeding, dairying and horticulture in the
various States. The experiment station at
the Maine State College is one of the list,
but was established by the State and after
wards adopted by the national government.
Hence Secretary Rusk's book will have no

The Boston Post takes the American Iron
and Steel Association to task for suggesting
that President Harrison send men skilled in
their industry as consuls to the great manu-
featuring cities of England and the CONT
nent. THE main idea," says the Post, sis
to place abroad corps of experts in the in
terests of the iron manufacturers at the ex-
pense Of the United States government .
Why is not that good idea SO long as the
experts in the iron industry are sent to GEN.
tres of the iron trade. and do not encroach
upon territ ory that should be occupied by
experts in the cotton, the wooden, the paper
or other trades. The most successful indus
trial nations today are making their consuls
commercial agents to study the markets, the
industries and the business methods of for
eign peoples. The United States govern
ment is doing this, and the report of some
Of our consuls are valuable contributions to
the store of commercial knowledge. And
why should not these investigations be made
by experts in the industries and trades that
ale to be investigated?

We observe that our neighbors, the Nova
Scotia fishermen, don't like free trade in fish
any better than the Americans, when their
competitors happen to be more favorably
situated than themselves. In the Dominion
House the other day, Gen. Laurie, a member
from one of the Nova Scotia districts, adyo-
Gated with much ability the claims of Nova
Scotia fishermen for protection against the
competition of bounty-fed French fish," He
showed how these French caught fish were
largely handled in Halifax 70 the injury of
the interests of Nova Scotia fishermen. and
asked that the government should treat this
French article in the same way that fish in
BOND for reshipment are treated in the
United States, namely, to compel the article
to be reshipped in the original package. Gen.
Laurie further recited the practice in italy
and the United States and argued that If
the Dominion is to occupy position akin TO
that of England and not Holland, and export
its own products instead of that of other
countries, the national policy should be ap-
piled to the fish trade as we'll as to manufac-
lures

A canvass has been made of the Massa-

stand on the prohibitory amendment. OF
25oo ministers questioned but 1896. or less
than:one-half, have so far replied. These show
1874 strongly for the amendment, 81 opposed
and eleven undecided. The Congregational
list ministers made the largest returns, 272
being in favor Of the amendment and seven
opposed to 1t. The Methodists sent in $50

Roman Catholic clergy were cautious about
replying, but of six who answered, four were
for the prohibitory amendment. 1t is fair to
assume, judging from the answers of those
who have replied, that large majority of
these who have not replied are in favor of
the amendment, and hence that the Massa-
chusetts clergy are Overwhelmingly for con-
stitutIonal prohibition.

One OF the best appointments made by
President Harrison is that of Prof. Gould to
be superintendent of the coast survey. The
conduct of President Cleveland in regard to
that important service was very peculiar,
and his persistence in it against the protests
Of the scientific men of both parties was in
defensible. The man he appointed to direct
1t was clerk in the internal revenue office,
and he was entirely lacking the special
knowledge needed for the place. 1t was sup
posed that his appointment was intended to
be temporary merely, bat the President in
sisted on retaining him throughout his term,
In spite of the protests of scientific men all
over the country, who knew his unfitness for
the place, and when President Harrison
came in he was still in Office. That President
Harrison has promptly removed him and
placed the department In charge of worthy
successor to Peirce and Bache and Hilgard
is greatly to his credit. 1t is achange entire
ly in the public interest.

THE LENTEN SEASON.
The maid represses
Her love for dresses
And gives her mind to improving booksl

Or walks she's taking,

For worldly pleasure,
She cares not her person to ornament;
In short. she's pious,
And has no bias
For vanities In the days of Lent.

what is known as the Linton bill, which
contains many of the features of the Saxton

lots. This provision is vital, for unless the
ballots are so marked as to make it impossi-
