Humidity.

The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope
that surrounds the earth; it consists OF oxy-
gen, nitrogen and carbonic acid, together
with very variable quantity Of watery va
por. When more than 80 per cent Of wa
terry vapor is present, the atmosphere is sat
urated. The 81 per cent of humidity or wa
teriness is therefore 81 per cent. of what the
atmosphere can carry; that is, it is 81 per
cent Of a possible 50 per cent

They were dry goods and grocery clerks,
someone says, and when they chartered a
down town liveryman's largest landau and
headed toward Deer Park, there was beer
under the seat and cigars in their overcoat
pockets. They remained in the vicinity Of
the park all day and when the "shades Of
evening had fallen,' someone laid them
gently in the bottom Of their landau and
headed their horses toward home. At about
three o clock in the morning, one Of them
awoke, and crawling to door Of the vehicle,
looked out over the moonlit cornfeld. He
did not know where he was, but he never,
theless clambered into the seat and turned
toward the east, finally bringing up on the
hill above Marseilles. Then he awakened
his companions and they reached town just
in time to procure hasty breakfast at a
restaurant as the seven O'Clock bell WAS toll
Ing This is the reason why some of the
boys wore their Sunday suits on Monday
morning.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.
A TOUCH OF NATURE.

a IOlCh of NATURE
A dog lay by the curbstone,
On the horrld, crowded street;
A carriage had run over him
Tramplsd under horses feet.
A poor cur, cut and bleeding,
He lay there all alone
And sought with painful efforts,
A shelter by the stove.
Twas q bootblack who found him,
And he mourned for him as though
He were fellow craftsman
Who had fallen from blow.
He placed his head upon his knee
And stroked his poor, crushed head,
Until tear stole down his cheek;
For then his dog was dead.
Him and me- the bootblack said,
"Hss been fur long as know
A dividen' up on grub and such,
In summer an in snow.
He ulster cur! up 'longside me
In dry goods box or shed,
And many night his body was
A piller fur my head.
when older fellers pitched on me,
He'd alwus take my part,
An if he couldn't talk like folks
He had q bootblack's heart.
But now he's killed and gone away
An left me here-his pard;
Id rather lost my blackin' route;
It wouldn't been SO hard
He laid his dog down tenderly
While the tears stood in his eye,
And he ran into an alley near
That should not see him cry.
l felt lump rise in my throat
AS passed on down the street,
And l spoke softer word l think
To those ! CHANGED to greet.

A BLOOMINGTON IDYL.


There is man named "Private Joe,"
What halls from this here place,
A man with o serio-co nerve
And pewter plastic face.
In days gone by we thought he was
A grand ideal man;
A fellow with giant brain,
But he wasn't worth DIN!
We didn't know Of this you see,
Until we donned our paint
And turned our breath in "Sunset g."
To make the kickers faint.
We held levee all day long
At our own expense for Joe,
For we thought he had a mighty head
But, alas. it wasn't SO.
The election came off in due time,
He got there with bang,
But when the doors closed safe on him
He soon forgot the gang.
He gave his law partner lift
And Garvin got the bounce;
We thought Joe had FIVE pounds Of brazil
But he didn't have an ounce.

Desdwood Dick, Wild Bill and other emin-
ens western heroes, who had bsttled with
bears and donkeys and wild horses in the

tor almost 50 years ago, and he though then things ought not so to be, but so they were then, and so they were at the close of his faithful ministry, and. perhaps, thu numbers may be the same relatively in the future. Still, when all things are consider cd, it is undoubtedly true that a mucl larger proportion of the people are com municants somewhere than at any forme, period ofiits history.
 But the influence of the church for Qoof is not all summed up in recording tht numbers that have united with the church She has held forth the word of life for 15( years. Her influence has streamed afar Her sons and daughters have come to hon or. The whole community has been quick ened by her presence. She has fostereG the love for learning, so that from her as semblies have gone forth men to sit in the halls of legislation, to preside over the rep resentatives of her state legislature, to fill the chairs of secular and sacred learning to preach the everlasting gospel, or to beal nobly their part in the more private but nc less worthy walks of life. Her daughters have filled honored places as teachers, and been the worthy wives of ministers and mothers of goodly race. Angels of mer, cy, too, and gentle ministers of patience tc walk among the sick and suffering. It is 8 goodly record, and one that she was able to make through the blessing of God and the aid of sister churches in this common. wealth, through the Home Missionary So- ciety, during period of more than 70 years.
 And now, though outward circumstances may be untoward, they are not worse, nay, much better than in the early days. With her house of worship, with her parsonage ponornk1xy Rvs, lr and the vigorous life now shown by hel younger members, above all, with the blessing of God upon her, she still has a glorious mission before her.
 Long may the altar of true devotion smoke with the sweet incense of prayer on this ancient hilltop, and the people con. tinue to go up to the house of the Lord. Long may the good old town abide, and this beloved church send forth her noble offspring to bless the world with their holy charities and godly deeds.
 Still may she continue to preach the gospel to others through the lips of her sons. And, as the waters that fall on this high dividing ridge of land blow apart for 8 time, as their course lies toward the Quinnebaug or Willimantic, yet come to- gether again ill the marriage bond of a common river, and thus onward to the great sea, so shall all the drops and all the rills of holy influences that have sped east ward, westward, to north and south, meet in that common tide of love that flows tc- ward the eternal throne.
 O, church of the living God O, sweet mother of holy souls! "They shall pros- per that love thee" Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces For my brethren and companions sakes I will now say "Peace be within thee."
