Cool Upper Stories In Summer.

The most eiiectual plan Of keeping
upper stories under slated roofs cool
in summer is to lay felt on boarding
and then batten the latter TO the states,
and the felt is more likely to last than
when it is placed close to the states,
If there's to be no ceiling one can be
placed at trifing expense by sus-
pending slabs of fibrous plaster from
the rafters or tie beams if there are
any. A circulation of air should be
kept up in this place by apertures
made in the outer walls, or, better
still, by a tube carried up above the
ridge, upon which an exhaust or "air
pump 9entilator" can be fixed, by
which means the heated air can be
drawn off. Many private houses have
rooms in the roof quite uncomfortable
for sleeping or living in during the
summer months. The heat of the
lower rooms ascends, and, with the
heat from the suns rays on the roof,
renders these stories only useful for
storage purposes.-New York Tele-

Color In Plants.

The study of the nature and origin
Of the colors found in plants is one Of
great difficulty, in consequence of
their completely. MIR. Sorby reckoned
them by hundreds, and probably none
is ever simple or elementary. Al
though much has Deeh done, as he OF.
served in 1871, the inquiry is still
cutie in It's infancy.
Colors may be found in all parts OF
plants, either on the surface, on the
cells of the epidermis, or deeply seated
within the tissues, and even in total
darkness, as in the roots of the carrot
and beet root. With regard to the col.
ors of flowers, one Of the first and
readily noted observations was, that
certain species seemed to have def
mite range beyond which they appear.
ed unable TO go. Hence, NJ. de Can.
dole proposed to divide the color OF
flowers into two series, the Xanthlc
and cyanic, corresponding to the usu-
ally solid and liquid coloring matters,
the former con tanning yellow green,
yellow, yellow orange, orange, and
orange red; til e latter, blue green,
blue, blue violet, violet, and violet
red; the red being intermediate be-
tween the two series. 1t was thought
that flowers were rigidly bound by
these series and never transgressed
them, but that the tints of specie
might vary through each.
Thus Dr. Lindley remarks that "a
blue dahia was not TO be expected
On the other hand, the hyacinth, be-
ing Of the cyanic series, q yellow hya-
cinth will rot occur" When, how
ever, Delphinium cardinale, with
golden yellow in the petals, came from
California, and yellow hyacinths had
probably been seen by DR.. Lindley be-
fore 1856, he was obliged to confess
that, sat all events the cyanic and
xanthic spcculations of philosophers
must now be laid up in the limbo Of
pleasant dreams"
Three-and-thirty years have elapsed
and We are still no nearer the produc-
ton of blue dahlia or a blue rose
and it may be remarked that it would
seem easier 10 supply yellow to the
cyanic than blue TO the Xanthic series,
because there is good evidence for be-
lieving that the order of evolution Of
colors has been from green through
yellow, orange red, purple to blue; SO
that any plant which had reached the
latter stages might TO judge by anal
ogy) more readily revert to the more
primitive color, yellow, than advance
under cultivation to a point which
nature had not yet been able to ac-
quire, and, moreover, showed no signs
Of approaching. -Gardiners' Chroni-

The rites were pronounced after the
manner set forth III the statute books

friends gathered about to congratulate
the newly welded pair, just as Ameri

ira, consisting of four Ce!estials. per-
formed on several odd looking string
ed instruments and tomtom or
gong, producing weird kind of mu.
sic. There was nothing elaborate in
the dress OF either the bride or groom.
Moy Sing wore a royal purple silk
robe, with the usual flowing sleeves
and wide skirt, while his bride ap-
peared in suit of India silk.
At the conclusion the groom led his
bride to Hip Lungs hotel, at 225 South

THIS life that went, yet comes again?

Never n death could follow death
With love between and home and breath.

A Persistent Rat.

The most persistent rodent in these
parts was one that monkeyed with
Mai. Wallis steel trap. The first pass
he made at the trap he got his tail cut
clean off to where that appendage
formed a junction with his spinal col
unn Not being satisfied with the
tondling he received at the jaws OF
the trap, he returned after his wound
healed, and had another set to with
the trap, in which encounter he lost o
hind leg which was shaved off close
up to his abdomen. After this had
gotten well he returned to the trap
and thrust his head in it. Maj. Wall
exhibited the remains of the rat which
was marred, as told, by the steel trap.

Man and Horse Killed by a Fly.

Moses Elvich, a junk dealerof PUNK
,utawney, Pa, had 4 team of horses
and he thought great deal of them.
He had been engaged to haul load OF
furniture for man who was moving
from Brookville to this place. 1t is a
billy road and the horses needed care
lul watching. While going down
steep hill Moses saw large fly on tho
neck of one of the horses. 1t annoy
ed the man as much as ii did the
horse, and the little insect caused the
death of the animal, and also that OF
Moses. Elvich, in leaning forward to
brush away the fly, fell to the ground
and broke his neck. The horses took
fright, and, running into the fence,
the one on which the fly was sitting
broke its leg and had to be killed. El
vich was picked up by his father,ln-
law, who was following with another
load of household goods.-Chicago

Is carefully cut out from the material on
which it was originally worked, and Is laid

whatever it may be to be decorated, where it
is held in place with few delicate stitches.
New and handsome for mantel borders,
brackets, curtains, etc., is felt foundation,
on which are distinct flowers in velvet, laid
on in such way that they stand up in bold
relief, as they would If the actual bloom had
been thrown upon the cloth. The velvet
flowers are outlined with needlework and ac-

the top about three inches and repeat the

The author of "Turbans and Tails tells
how the Cinnamon at home keep warm We
put wooden floors in the rooms Of our houses
for othersrto walk On as well as ourselves;
we even carpet them to make walking on
them more pleasant, and in winter time we
provide fire, which is intended to warm the
whole room and all who are in it. A China
man renders himself independent Of floors
and carpets He puts two inch sole on his
shoe, and thus makes sure Of having a piece
Of floor under his own feet In winter time
he piles garment over garment upon his own
back, slips little fur lined cases over his ears
and envelops his head and neck in mon
strous hood.
If driven by cold to the use of fuel, he does
not light fire for the sake of the family at
large, but puts his redhot charcoal balls into
the metal vessels he uses as foot stool and
into the smaller one which he carries in his
capacious sleeves for the warming of his
hands. OF course the rest of the family can
do the same.
A Chinaman, naturally portly, is a sight in
the cold season, while little child, clad in
his winter clothes, becomes a most comical
object. He cannot get his arms down to his
side-they stick out horizontally; and should
he fall he is incapable of getting up again,
and must lie where he falls until some passer
by thinks it worth while to pick him up.

second floor and there obtained

eyes. He had slid down on the chair
until his head was almost out of sight,
and he was smoking long clay pipe.
The secretary and the caller APP
preached him from behind, and the
secretary said:
"Mr. President, this is George Jones,
of New York"
Without turning his head or turn
ing around the president put his hand
over his right shoulder and Mr.. Jones
laid his own hand in it confidingly.
The president gave his hand hearty
shake and said in cordial voice:
How d. do, son9 Pull up a cheer"
