Some people never take books to the
country with them. They either feel no
need for the strength or relaxation they
might gain from reading, or they rely
upon chance for their mental pabulum.
Few are the readers who carry with
them anything but the lightest of sum
mer novels-books that can be thrown
away without regret when finished.
Perhaps it is too much TO ask that any
one not student should expend much
energy in hot weather upon mental i'm
provement. Yet ii does seem as though
something better might he read than the
merely ephemeral r5yelette. How many
of the rising generation are really famil-
lar with the novels of Scott, of Dickens,
of Thackeray, of Cooper, of George
Eliot, of Miss Mulock. or with the
charming long and short stories by our
own American authors?
There was time when the heavy
binding and high cost of standards rem
dered them undesirable books to read in
hammock, but the recent issue of the
works of many of the best English and
American writers in paper covers does
away with this objection. Good books,
in good type, on good paper, at a price
that practically puts them within the
reach of every one, are to be had on
every hand.
In purchasing an outfit for the sum-
mer vacation the hammock books should
no more be overlooked than the ham
mock itself, but let both be OF kind
that will stand wear. Trashy reading
provokes mental dyspepsia akin to the
physical malaise produced by diet Of
sweetmeats unaccompanied by substan-
tails. Such course of treatment units
either mind or body to do the winters
work, for which strength should be &C.

Choked by "A Cows Tail.

A peculiar and fatal accident occurred
recently 10 the seven-year- son of Mr..
Tramal Carter, who lives four miles
north of town. The little fellow was in
the habit of driving the cows to pasture
every morning, and one morning after
he had eaten his breakfast he started off
with his cows as usual. About an hour
later a member of the family went in
search of him, and was Mortified to see
"a COW dragging the almost lifeless body
over the field. The boy had tied the
cows tail around his neck, and the cow,
n gentle one, had become frightened and
ran off, dragging the little fellow with
her. The h;tle fellow was released only
by cutting the cows tail, and was barely
alive. Louisville Courier-Journal.

Modification Extraordinary.

The hen of farmer who lives near
Tionesta and wild pheasant have both
been laying eggs in the same nest. After
the nest was full with about an equal
number of both kinds of eggs both fowls
began to set. They occupied the nest at
the same time and there was a constant
struggle going on. The farmer conclud.
ed that neither could accomplish any
thing at the rate they were quarreling,
and he thought to solve the difficulty by
removing the hens eggs from the nest.
This only served TO make matters worse,
and now both fowls are trying TO hatch
young pheasants.- philadelphia Times.

After half an hour the mule was hoisted
out by the heels and laid on the ground.

and in little while, to the surprise Of
the thousand spectators who had col
Iected, the mule rose to its feet and

A Novel Fabric.

A foreign textile journal records the
invention Of a new kind of looped fabric
which has a novel and beautiful effect,
with a durability never before attained.
The popularity about it is that worsted
is used for the thread forming the figure
of the design and alpaca or mohair for
the threads forming the ground of the
design. The contrast between the lus-
trous and beautiful threads of the mo-
hair and of the worsted, it is said, forms
an effect that is strikingly novel.

FAITH AND SCIENCE.

They dwelt apart, that radiant pair;
In different garbs appear;
And while the vows OF men they share
Have separate affairs here.
A golden lamp the one displays,
or light still clear and keen;
The other walks meath starry rays
With sometimes clouds between.
The voice OF one enjoins the wise,
To mete, and weigh, and prove;
The other lifts expectant eyes,
And inly murmurs, Lowell

To each be credence given,
To Science that interprets Earth.
To Faith the seer of Heaven.
