Tho PhmnIr of Arabia.

In olden times bird called ''phe-
nix" was thought to live in the deserts
of ArabiS. His lease Of life was said TO
be 500 years, at the end Of which time
he built nest of spices and famed it
into fame with his wings. The fame
reduced the bird TO ashes, out Of which
he sprung TO live another 500 years

Spontaneous Combustion of the Body

Spontaneous Combustion of the Body.
The theory Of spontaneous combustion
Of the human body in former times was
held by almost every expert. French sci
entists in particular supported it, sad sew
eral Of them published pamphlets in which
numerous cases Of alleged spontaneous
combustion Of the human body were de-
scribed at length, but there are three very
significant points TO be noticed in connec-
ton with such reports. One is the invari-
able admission that there was a light or
fire in the room where the catastrophe
occurred; another that the alleged in
stances always happened in families com
posed of ignorant persons; and another,
that in no case was there any actual wit
ness Of the occurrence.
Something like % per cent. of the human
body consists of water This fact in itself
is sufficient to discredit any Of the alleged
instances Of spontaneous combustion. It
is just conceivable that persons who drink
an enormous amount Of spirituous liquors
may become 50 saturated, as it were, with
this inhammable material that their bodies
burn much more easily than would those
Of people who do not overindulge in this
way, but it is perfectly certain that the
fire would have to be applied from without,
for no such thing as spontaneous combus-
tion could be possible in any article con-
tanning so great a preponderance Of the
liquid element as does the human body

FAREWELL.

Farewell, Life! my senses SWIM,
And the world is growing dim;
Thronging shadows cloud tho light,
Like the advent Of the night
Colder, colder, colder still,
Upward steals a vapor chill;
Strong the earthly odOr grows
smell the mold above the rosel
Welcome, Lifel The spirit strivesl
Strength returns and hope revives;
Cloudy fears and shapes forlorn
Fly like shadows Of the morn;
Der the earth there comes bloom,
Sunny light for sullen gloom,
Warm perfume for vapor cold

ARCHERY.

Yon guileless maiden with her poised bow,
And with her sharply tipped and feathered
dart,
Shy as Diana, and as sure, trow,
Wounds the round target with an archer's
art.
What wondrous change the Hoeting years will
bringl
Soon will her eyes wing arrows DER her fan;
These Cupid shafts, all! cruel sweet the sting,
VIII find their target iu the heart of man.

How Pleasure Seekers Made the
Most of a Warm Day-Familiar
Faces on the Road.

The excessive heat of yesterday to some
extent marred the sunshine of the first
clear day our world has epjoyed in al
most a fortnight. Perhaps it was felt
more because everybody wanted to make
the most of the day and get all the possi-
BILE enjoyment out of 1t. 1t was too
warm to allow of much exertion, and the
heat no doubt kept many of the regular
patrons of the road at home, except those
who had been fortunate enough to HE
themselves to the seashore. The drivers
on the road were chiefly young pleasure
unconscious of their pride in
Sunday horse and buggy,
and as usual, didn't succeed. They rode
in vehicles of all sorts and conditions;
some had fine natural wood buckboards,
some highly polished buggies or swell

equally well-perhaps more-in dilapida-
ted phaetons or carryalls. The actions of
the occupants were demonstrative of the

UNGALLANT PATERSON.

From the Paterson Morning Gail.
The Jersey City Journal says that
white stockings are again coming in fash
ion among the ladies. The Jersey City
papers would be the first to make this
important and interesting discovery, for
it is the only city in the State where 1t is
necessary for the ladies to hoist their
dresses to their knees to cross the filthy
crossings. Here in Paterson the ladies
might wear white stockings for year be-
fore any one discovered the fact-frst,
because we have got good, olean cross
lngs, and secondly, because the men of
this community are so moral that they
turn their faces away on such occasions.
