husbandman taking advantage Of the bril-
liant night that he may speed the gathered
harvest. The air bears to US perfumes of
new mown hay, and the mysterious fire.
flies seem to accompany the perfume,
Lighting it in every corner and crevice of
slumbering nature. Afar off comes the
strains of Instrumental music, though it
may not be of a quality that would please
a Filter or a Stokley, yet it brings with
it a soothing tendency, and were it not for
the grandeur of the night we might be be-
guiled by the wiles of Morpheus and turn
as a coquette from natures wooing to
yield to this half dead, half living condi-
ton, supposed by mythology to be be-
slowed by the god of sleep. But in these
later years those who believe in the omui-
potence of the one God, who declare there
is no God beside, have come to accept this
boon 10 mankind as one of the priceless
gifts bestowed from a loving Father to
His children.
AS it nears the hour of midnight we
yield to sleep, after proving to ourselves
we are not tickle, zinc sleep, too, is given
by the same hand that spreads before us
the blue vault of heaven, places the sun,
moon and stars in their varied positions,
gives life to the seeds in the earth, causes
the sap to flow in the trees, and paints the
flowers after the tints of His own liking;
so seeking a warmer shelter beneath the
house roof we change our costume, thank
the giver of all these gifts, draw the (June)
drapery of our couch about us and know
no more till we are awakened by the not
too musical strains from an evidently un-
cultivated voice as its owner is on his
homeward way from the Main VanAm-
burgh. After this interruption slumber
claims us again, and we do not throw
aside his ownership until VIC neal our
name uttered by our brother man. Our
faculties return to us refreshed, day is
breaking, the birds are holding their morn
ing p~raise-meeting in the orchard, to which
one of the windows of our room opens; the
host of robins seem to be leading the
chorus, assisted by the shrill chirping of
the sparrows, the startled tote of the
flicker, the mock canary carol of the cat
bird, accompanied at intervals by the
deeper note of the black-birds and the
merry whistle of Bob White from the
quail. The shadowy outlines of objects
before us assume a moro definite aspect,
the gray of the Eastern sky grows yell
lower, the old s'hay-maker'' peeps above
the horizon, kisses the green bou2hs of
the trees that wave in their airy motion to
greet him, and the June night is gone.
Thine, RUTH.

Notes BY the way-A night in June.

Having finished the little task to which
our steps had brought us before the twi-
light %deepened, we remove our range of
vision from the things of earth, doff our
sun-hat, stand erect, lift our eyes heaven
ward and are struck with the beauty of
the evening sky. Far up in the Western
sky the gold and crimson tints are glow
ing against the silvery background of
heavens dome. Beyond the tints Venus
is crowned in all her glory of light. A
seemingly short distance away the half
moon sheds a nearer, yet more subdued
brilliancy: and further Eastward, nearly
in the zenith, the red brightness of Mer-
curry CLOVIS and burns,
We stand long and gaze upon this grand
picture, drawn in such iuimitable tints by
the chief of all Artists, that the inhabitants
of earth may be inspired with His incon-
ceivabie methods of natures colorings.
Standing thus we question in our heart
how any human being, possessing an or
gan given to drive the life blood to every
part of the body, can pass along the path
of life without contemplating these pic
lures aud the hand that draws them. In
truth, wedo not believe it possible for one
to be so dead to natures beauty, unless
made so by artificial Acknowledgements
that harden the brain and qucnch the
kindly feeling of heart.
Having drank cur full from this source
OF nature, our steps are directed ham
Woodward, beneath the profuse foliage of
the trees. settling ourselves to the COM
fort of an old, faithful Mexican, we list
still further to the beauties of this June
night. Here, we see only the siivery
glimpses of sky Though tho dark branches
of natures caropy above, around us. Sns-

The Condition of Crops.

The States crop bulletin for the week
ending June 2S is as follows: The reports
received indicate that the prevailing
weather conditions of the week have been
favorable to the growth of all crops. espe-
cially corn. potatoes and garden truck, and
the maturing of wheat and rye. Consider
able hay has been housed during the week,
and in very excellent condition, except in
the extreme Northeastern portion, where
heavy fogs greatly retarded the curing.
The yield i'll all thed~ districts is reported to
be in excess OF the average.
The harvesting of wheat and rye is now
progressing, and the reports show that
with few exceptions, notably Monmouth
| County, the yield will nearly equal the
average in most of the districts. Oats in
nearly all portions of the State are report
ed to be in poor condition, and the yield
will be very small both in grain and straw.
In this connection Professor Smith says:
1.-The injury to oats is not due to the wheat
louise. A nematade worm in the root is
the cause of the injury" and he advises
potash salts broadcasted, where the crop
is still in fair condition. This will kill the
worms and will act as a stimulant to the
plants.
Small fruits promise an abundant yield
and are developing nicely. Orchard fruit
will be a small crop, apples which are so
promising some weeks ago, are now falling
to the ground in great numbers.
Relative to the cherry rot, Professor By
ron d. Halsted says: 1.-The cherry rot
that has shortened AN already short crop
is due to a microscopic mould that grows
within the substance of the frnit and in
duces decay. The first evidence of the
presence of this organism is the checking
of the growth of the fruit and the taking
on of a brown color. Soon after this the
outside of the fruit becomes covered with
a fine powdery substance and later Oh the
cherry shrivels and may fall to the ground.
The mould consists of, first, the fine slen-
der threads (too minute to be seen without
the microscopy, which run in all direc-
ions through the substance of the cherry,
robbing as it goes. In the second place,
there is the formation on the surface, the
almost velvet covering OF a gray or brown
color. This is made up of small spherical
bodies called spores, which may be carried
by the wind to other fruit and cause them
to rot. If taken il time it has been de-
monstrated that this destructive decay of
the cherries can be checked by spraying
the fruit with one of the compounds OF
copper, similar III method to thet treatment
of the black rot OF the grape. The same
fungus (monaia t~rutigena> attacks the
plum and the peach, and in the latter some
times blights the twig bearing the rotting
fruit"

They are the pride OF any parent that

| who are not so fortunate rs to have child
rem to educate, but who take very deep in
tcrest in our schools work and do as mach
towards sustaining them as those more di-
rectly interested. Words of commenda-
ton are being given ON every hand for
the progress pupils have made, which was
so clearly exhibited i'm the closing exer.
cises OF the school. 1t Is not alone be-
slowed upon tho pupils i'm attendance, but
the teachers from superintendent down. as
well. All share in this general acknowledge
ment for the progress thus male. 1t speaks
volumes for corps Of able and capable
instructors who have so diligently and so
unitedy labored for the past nine months
to achieve the success aimed at which they
so richly merritt and accomplish in the
end. We compliment the teachers for
their faithfulnesS in the duties devolying
upon them. We trust that teachers and
pupils may spend as pleasant and prUfita-
BILE a vacation as they did the nine mouths
i'm school. and finally, when the new term
shall begin. that the first roll call may find
none missing. neither teachers nor pupils.

The anarchists in Chicago are becOm-
ing active again. Last Saturday night a
policeman found large can of dyna-
mite at the base of the monument erect
ed on the spot where the forty police
men were killed i'm the Hay Market riots
in 1856. The indications were that fuse
connected with the cartridge had failed
to burn. evidently having been wet by
the heavy rain that fell that night. Ex-
perts say that the can contained enough
dynamite to destroy the buildings for
two blocks around. 1t has been known
that the anarchists were secretly Organiz-
ing, and this is the first attempt 1T mis-
chief. The attempt to secure the release
of the anarchists now confined in Joliet,
by means of legal technicalities is also to
be considered in this connection as a
sign that bodies no good to law-abiding
citizens.

THE Atchison Topeka Il Santa Fe sys-
tenn of railroad has within the past week
been increased by the purchase of the
st. Louis & San Francisco railroad. which
includes the Atlantic & Pacific from AL
buquerque west TO Mojave. This adds
to the Santa Fee about / 400 miles of road.
giving this company about $500 miles.
the greatest length of railroad operated
under one management in the world. and
this. too. by an organization that was
not only put under way by kansans. but
largely managed and operated By Kan
sans. 1t was Kansas institution orig
inally and has been largely so MAIN
tanned. from the fact that this company's
principal office is located in Kansas.
We now look for the closing of the gap
between the Wichita & Western at the
east line of our county, and this city Civ
ing the company a more direct outlet to
st. Louis. for western business. This is a
victory for the Santa Fee over other COM
peting lines of railroad which have been
getting the lions share of the business
TO and from st. Louis. which heretofore
the Santa Fe could not reach. We hear
lilly congratulate the Santa Fe managers
on the securing of this important line of
railway which not only enables them to
penetrate new fields, but gives them a
system of railroad that is hard to surpass
and for directness of route hard TO beat
by any other system.
