A MONTH OF DAYLIGHT.
In Sweden the Light Never Fades Dur
ing June.

In Sweden the Light Never Fades Dur
ing June.
To the summer visitor in Sweden
there is nothing more striking than
the almost total absence of night. At
Stockholm, the Swedish capital, the
sun goes down few minutes before 10
o'clock and rises again four hours
later during the greater portion of the
month of June. But the four hours
the sun lies in the frozen north are not
hours of darkness-the refraction of
his rays as he passes around the north
pole makes midnight as light rs a
clondy midday, and enables one to read
the finest print without artificial light
ut any time during the might" At
the head OF the gulf of Bothnia there
is mountain on the summit of which
the sun shines perpetually during the
five days of June 10, 90, 81, e2 and %.
During every six hours during this sea-
son of continual sunshine steamer
leaves Stockholm crowded with visi-
tors anxious to witness the phenome-
non. At the same place during winter
the sun disappears and is not seen for
weeks; then it comes in sight for 10,
Is or 30 minutes. gradually lengthen-
ing its stay until finally it stays con-
tinuously for upwards of 120 hours.

THE FLOWER GOD.
Buddhists and Mohanm cdans Who wor

Buddhists and Mohsmm cdans Who Wor-
ship Plants.
Since time out of memory alteration
of plants and flowers has been the
prevailing form of worship in many
sections of the far East Even to this
day certain communities of Buddists
and Mohammedans pray by the hour
before their favorite plant or flower.
In India this species of worship seems
to be most prevalent. a recent pub
lishcd work on Oriental travel has
this to say of the believers in flower
gods: A true Persian in flowing robes
of blue would saunter in and stand
and mediate over every flower he saw
and always rs il half in vision. And
when the vision was fulfilled, and the
ideal flower he was seeking foaad, he
would spread his mat and sit before it
until the setting of the sun. At sun
set he would pray dcvoutly, fold up
his mat and go home Tho next
night, and night after night
until that particular flower faded,
he would return to- it and
bring his friends in ever increas-
ing troops and sit and play the guitar
and Lutte before it, y S '' and so
again and again every evening until
the flower died. Sometimes hy way
of a grand finale, the who:o company
would suddenly arise before the flower
and scrcnade it together with an ode
from IIafz and then depart

A PERIPArErrc BARBER.
Ono OF the Industrics Peculiar to tho
Pine Tree state.


Pine Tree state.
Many of Names rural towns do not
support a professional barber. Men
early learn to shave themselves and
as to hair-cutting, there is always
somebody in town who, with that
neighborliness for which these com
munities are noted, is ready to trim
your locks for you with all his heart
and with all his nrt.
A writer on an outing, recently fell
in with ono of these amateur BARRIERS
and humorously describes his accom-
modating ways: Soon was pcrchcd
astride of mo,asses hogshcad with q
meal bag around my neck to protect
1t from the fall OF hair. might say
the fall was great or the possibilities
of one, from the hogshaai. as I
squirmed about On it to have the light
strike my head right Sd the cores
would be even. He was no mean bar
ber, for he scorned to receive any
recompense. Iwish all BARRIERS wcro
as charitable.
After our cutting acquaintance saw
much of the barber. One time he was
on the school house steps cutting a
mans hair; again, saw him hard at
work on mans head in the middle OF
his vegetable patch. The farmer was
leaning against bean-pole with his
hoe in his hand evidently making the
most of his luxurious case. Anywhere
and everywhere he happened to catch
his man the entcrprising barber would
work. was on the shore one day
watching fisherman at his salmon
nets. Shortly small slliif went out
from q neighboring cove. In it was
the barber, who rowcd out to where
the fisherman was, and was soon cut
ting his hair.

A young Philadelphian recently
went abroad, and secured position as
reporter for the London Times He
was sent out one evening to write up
the story of rich and beautiful girl,
who had taken chloroform because her
lover failed to appear at the altar
when due. The young Phiadelphian
raced nimbly about, gathering various
particulars, and hurried back to the
Office in q cab, after getting his copy
in shape. Not far from midnight, he
sped up the stairs to the local-room,
and turned his copy in with apologies
foe his unavoidable latcness. 1T
doesn't matter" said one of the editors,
calmly, "this is Monday, you know.
and we print suicides only on Satur-
days."

A POETiCAL BISHOP.
He Gives In Verso His Recipe for New
England Johnny Cake.


Ie Gives in Verso His Recipe for New
England Johnny Cake.
1t is not often that Bishop William
senior prelatc of the Episcopal church
in the United States, allows n playful
line to his thoughts. Occasionally he
has been known to turn off apoem for
the fun of the thing, but told-fashioned
prose is generally the means by which
he communicates with his flock. The
bishop is lover of New England
corncalsc, and bewitching niece has
induced him to incorporate his views
in poetic formula for making the
coveted article. -
The poetry will not rival Tennyson's,
but shows what one of our most de-
lightfvi churchmen may accomplish
while in q playful frame of mind. The
bishops formula written out at length
for his pretty niece, begins as follows:
A forgetful old bishop,
All broken to pioccs,
Neglected to dish up
For one Of his neices
A receipt for corn pone-
The best ever known.
So he hpsCls 10 repair his sin Of omission,
And hopes that in view OF his shattered
condition
His suit for forgiveness he humbly may
urge,
So here's the receipt, and it comes from
Lake George.
The bishop prepared his curious and
interesting formula while he was en-
joying his favorite sport of angling.
1t is tho best notion that has been put
into form for long while FOR making
yankee johnny cake.
