AsHEvII.LE WEATHER.


The meteorological report for June and
Tulv, show, that Asheville has not al
together escaped the rainy weather
which has been prevalent all over the
country; but while many places have
had DAYS together of steady rain, we
have had only short, but frequent showers,
nterspersed with fair and clear weather
and sunshine. AShcvillc does not claim
to have ideal weather every day in the
year; as compared with other places, we
have reason to be grateful, and this
region is still in the lead in the records OF
meteorological observation. With the
Tuly record, DR.. Won Ruck began the OBJ
servations of the amount of that potent
of oxygen in the air, known as ozone
of which many places show an entire
deficiency, and which, SO far show an
average of 312 per cent. This amount,
we are told, is unusually large for the
most favorable localities, and MAY in a
measure, depend upon the electrical state
of the atmosphere, thunderstorms, etc
No such observations exist for Ashcvillc,
and are not regularly made at other
climatic resorts in this country; but the
great importance of this agent, as con
ducivc to recovery Of health, especially
in lung disease, has long been advocated
and it's artificial production and mcdici
nal administration has engaged many
learned men in the medical profession
It's free presence in our mountain air is
only one more scientific evidence Of the
value of our climate.

A Scheme for the Rapid Collection o
MaII Mattar in CitIas.

A Scheme for the Rapid Collection Of
Mail Matter in Cities.
A commotion has been caused among
the letter-carriers in the post-ofice over
rumor that the pneumatic tube system
for the collection OF mail matter will be
introduced in this city. 1t is said that
the experiment will first be tried in the
business section of the city and if found
to be successful there the ripes will be
extended to all parts of the city. The
Postmaster-General has beon investi-
eating this scheme and is said to be
favorably impressed with its feasibility.
In private business he has found that BY
a generous use of wind dollars can be
made to roll from the four points of
the compass into one big money box,
and he sees no reason why the same
agency can not be made to serve Uncle
Sam and bring mail dropped into the
letter. boxes in all parts of the city into
the central office.
The plans for the new system have
not yet been thoroughly digested, but
the general idea is to lay a system OF
pneumatic tubes in all the main streets
of the city and connect them with the
letter-boxes located on those streets
The connection would be by means of a
pipe running underground and up the
inside of lamp-post, where it would
be fitted to box OF peculiar construc-
tion. This would place all parts of the
city in direct communication with the
post-office, so that letter dropped In
letter-box at Second and Diamond
streets, for instance, would be whirled
to the post-office in few seconds can.
celed, and If it happened to be traip
time would be dispatched to Broad
street station and on board q train
bound for Chicago almost before the
ink had time to dry. The system would
be particularly valuable in receiving
and dispatching mails to Germantown,
Frankford and Manayunk, which are
now no further advanced than the
postal system Of century ago, as tha
mail-bags are carried to and from the
central office by wagon. The letters
could be delivered from the tubes di. |
rectly on canceling machine. such a,
is used in Boston, making number OF |
parallel lines halfway across the letter
This would make still further saving

a FLOWER HOLIDAY.
One OF the Most Popular Amusements of

One OF the Most Popular Amuyements oi
the Cultured Japanese.
The love of flowers in Japan amounts
almost to alteration. They are insep.
arabic from the life, art and literature
Of the people, and to deprive the Japs.
nese Of them would be to take the sun.
shine out of their lives. On one occa.
sion | received through my young
friend an invitation from his parents to
accompany them on visit to very
celebrated grove of plum trees that
were then In full bloom. After an
hours ride in a ''jinrixisha, or ''ku-
ruma," as these little man-carriages
are more commonly called, we arrived
at our destination, where great num-
bers of people were flocking from all
points.
The trees were one mass of fragrant
white and delicate pink blossoms Hun
dreds OF visitors in holiday attire wero
strolling about under the branches with
extreme delight depicted on their
countenances. Others again had spread
rugs under the trees, where they wero
served with delicious tea from neigh
boring tea house. The brightly clad
children were dancing and frolicking
in the shade Of the blossoms, and a
more perfect picture OF sunshine and
happiness can hardly be imagined.
lnnumerable little strips of paper fut-
tering among the blossoms attracted
my attention. Miss Okiku informed
me that it was the happy custom of the
people to give vent to their delight on
these occasions by inscribing poetic
sentiments, too brief perhaps to be
called poems, and hanging them up in
the boughs. And sure enough, as
looked about me, l observed several
persons with paper and pocket ink
stands in hand engaged in composing
these little sonnets in praise of the
blossoms.
Yasumaru was at some pains to ex-
plain to me that these poetic effusions

spot that the expression, the form OF
tho idea, was derived from the ms ira
tion of the scene; but his father added,
with twinkle in his eye, that many
came with their poems already pre-
pared. l was honest enough to confess
to the old gentleman that this pro-
eeeding was not altogether differ
ent from tho habit of our after-dinner
orators who surprise their friends with
impromptus composed, as the French
put it a totsir; that is to say, at their
case. Some months later l painted a
picture entitled Springs Inspiration"
in which two young girls are repre-
sented walking over the huge stepping
stones through a hugo grove of bios
soming plum-trees and reading these
poems; for, although it is not recorded
that the Japanese lover takes this
means of praising his Rosalind, mono
the less do Japanese maidens delight in
passing from tree to tree perusing the
tluttering inscriptions Century.

An Interesting Collection from the Cars=
nado Islands.
The marine collection at the light
house has been enlarged by a yacht
load of sea urchins. abeIones, stariish,
masses. eggs and seal skins which Harry
Israel, the son of the keeper, brought
in the other day from cruise around
the Coronado Islands. He was accom-
panied by Henry Gerrul. Of Ballust
Point and they remained week. fish
ing, collecting and hunting.
Israel said that he and Gerrul Sc
cured fifty hair-seals in one day They
shot the large ones and killed the young
ones with clubs. There are three seal
rookeries on the rock points Of tho
west side of the west island and two on
the east island. Israel, who has OBJ
served their habits, says that they are
clannish, and that the seals of one
rookery never mix with the others
The females are covered with a tiK
hair, while that of the males Is much
coarser. The color Of the young Is a
dark drab, but the old ones are brown
ish yellow. When the breeding season
is over the sea-bulls disappear and do
not return until the next spring.
Who're they go to is mystery that hiss

quantity of small stones for ballast.
which remains in the false stomach or
ballast bag" as the sailors call it,
until they return, when they spit them
out. Mrs. Israel has q number OF these
greenish cobbles at her museum. a
bucketful is about the quantity OF stones
required to ballast an ordinary seal.
Mr.. Israel said the west island was of
solid rock with coating of loan on
the west side. 1t was there that they
found the mutton birds, which bur-
row like mole in the ground and come
out only at night. After 1t became
dark the explorers listened for the
whirr of the birds, and when It came
they struck out at random with stones
and sticks, and when they heard some-
thing iutter on the rocks would know
that they had been successful. The
bird is a triie larger than a quail. and
has short, stubby wings, resembling
those Of a penguin. They are nearly
black with some white on the breast
and towards the tail Their legs are
short and the beak is longer than the
quails. Their flesh is said to be pal
atable, but the eggs only were tried.
They are pullet-size and whIta. and
Israel said were the best sea-fowl eggs

OF them, and also the eggs Of the gull
and shag.

To Keep the Dairy Clean.

A small force pump with few feet OF
hose and quartersinch nozzle will be
found very useful for work in the dairy.
For washing utensils nothing else is so
good as stream of water forced into
and upon them. Every corner and
crevice is searched out by the stream
and the spray dashing all over, and the
smallest particles of milk are carried
of. This work should be done in a
washing room the floor of which is well
painted and has drain In the center OF
the floor sloping a little on each side to
the middle. Churning and the butter
washing may be done in this room, as
these always make some little slop.
The well-painted floor absorbs none OF
1t, however, and is very easy cleansed.
Another good floor for a churning and
washing room is one of cement and
sand, finished with wash coat of clear
cement and painted with hot gas tar.
This floor is completely non-absorbent.
