SWEET SUMMER TIME.
r;r,o- NAV no verv nice

o, winter may be very nice
For those who skate upon the ice
And own horse and sleigh,
But for a feast Of endless JOY
Wen take the summer time, my boy,
And take it every day
Just think OF lying under trees
And watching busy, buzzing bees
Go in and out of flowers,
And hearing feathered songsters sing
While you within hammock swing
For long and lazy hours.
Imagine how il feels to strip
And in the salty ocean dip
And gambol in the spray,
And hear the military band
Upon the mellow moon-lit sand
Without a cent TO pay.
Think Of the picnic's festive joys
When all the dear old girls and boys
Play Copenhagen best;
Around the ropc-stretched ring we stand
Till some one slaps our willing hand,
And then we do the rest
And think Of fishing fun supreme,
OF treating sweethearts TO ice cream
Beside the fountains sound,
And sailing with the jolly tars,
OF riding in the open cars
And on the merry-go-rOund.
Just dream Of sparkling at the gate
Without a fear of staying late
Against a papa's law,
or wearing zebra blazer coats
And flannel shirts with open Threats
And dainty hats OF straw.
Remember watermelons, too,
And morning sparkling with the dew
And fragrant with perfume:
O, yesl Sweet summer cannot be
Too hot for either you or me
Forever may il boom.

THE SUN AND THE STARS.
Astronomy Now Claims That the Two
Isodies Arc About the Same.

Astronomy Now Claims That the Two
Isodies Arc About the Same.
The sun is Il star and the stars are
suns. This fact has been familiar
one to astronomers for many years.
That the stars shine by their own in
herent light, and not by light reflected
from another BODY, like tine planets of
the solar system, may be easily proved.
That many of them. at least, are very
similar to our own sun is clearly shown
by several considerations.
Three facts prove this conclusively.
First, their great intrinsic brilliancy
compared with their small apparent
diameter, diameter so small that the
highest powers of the largest telescopes
fail to show them as anything but mere
points of light without measurable
magnitude. Second, their vast distance
from the earth. distance so great that
the diameter of the earths orbit
dwindles almost to point in COMPARE
son. This accounts satisfactorily for
the first fact. Third, the spectroscope
that unerring instrument of modern
research-shows that the light emitted
by many of them is very similar to that
radiated by the sun.
Their chemical and ply eOnsti-
tuition is, therefore, probably analogous
to that of our central luminsry. The
red stars certainly show spectra differ
ing considerably from the solar spec
trum, but these objects are compar-
atively rare and may, perhaps, be con-
sIdered as forming exceptions to the
general ule.-Gentleman's Magazine.

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
President Harrison's Opinion of the Nc
kinney Bill

The latest. and probably the last,
message OF President Harrison to the
American congress contains no doleful
wall from the president. There is not
a line that indicates defeat; not a word
that denotes surrender. The power of
President Harrison in his public ut
terances l.. marvellous. His message is
concise, comprehensive, terse and
trenchant.
1t opens with the declaration of his
satisfaction in being able to say that
the country is favored by the greatest
prosperity ever recorded in its history.
Commenting on the census returns for
seventyive leading cities, he shows
that during the decade from 1880 to
1890 the capital employed increased
81, So. 100000. the value of products
over 81 coo, 900, 900. the wages earned
nearly S6IS. 600. 900, and the number of
wage-earners employed over $4,000,
with an increase of wage earnings per
capita from 1856 in 1850 to S547 in 1890.
The best defense of the Mckinley
tariff is its results, and the president
gives a few decisive figures showing
what these results have been. The in
dustrial plants esta blished, the develop
ment of new industries, an admitted
increase in the number of employees
and in the rates of wages, a remark
able expansion of our foreign trade,
the development of our coastwise
freight service and an extraordinary
increase in savings banks deposits are
marshaled as solid facts on the side of
the Mckinley tariff and the protective
policy. While agriculture has been de-
pressed, the general average of prices
was such as to give agriculture fair
proportion of the general prosperity.
The president says:
III any are discontented with their state
oere: IL any believe that wages or prices, the
returns for honest toll, are inadequate. they
should not fail to remember that there Is no
country in the world where the conditions that
seem TO them hard would not be accepted as
highly prosperous. The English agriculturist
would be glad to exchange the returns OF his
labor for those Of the American farmer and the
Manchester workmen their wages for those Of
heir fellows at Fall River"
President Harrison believes protec-
zion is mighty instrument for the de-
9eiOpmenJ Ol our HdIiOndt wealth. anu
most powerful agency in protecting
she homes of our workingmen from the
INVASION of want. He speaks with
burning woods, and declares that the
election must be accepted as an indica-
ton of new policy. and we must as
sumo that the present protective tariff
must be supplanted by one constructed
SOLELY with reference to revenue.
That no duty is to be higher because
the increaLe will keep open an Amer
lean mill or keep up the wages of an
American workman, but that in every
case such a rate of duty is be imposed
as will bring to the treasury OF the
United States the largest returns of
revenue N. y. Mail and Express

THE OFFICE BOY.

These are the remarks of Mr.. Scum,
senior partner of the firm of Scuff e
Bumper, showing his opinion of the
new Office boy:
Monday-The new Office boy is per-
feet treasure. The first thing he did
when he had a moment of leisure was
TO wash out my inkstand. 1t hadn't
been cleaned for a year, and it was a
real pleasure to write when nice, fresh
ink was put in. While l was at lunch
Johnnie busted off my desk and put
everything in its place. He's the best
Office boy l ever had, polite and oil y
ing, and very neat IN appearance.
Tuesday-Yes, l think Johnnie Is a
model Office boy. He was here this
morning bright and early, and had my
desk as neat as a new pin, and every
thing in its place when ! arrived. He
said: Good morning, Mr.. Scuff," in
such a gentlemanly manner. too. His
appearance was hardly as neat as on
yesterday, but l can overlook that if he
continues punctual and does his duty
satisfactorily.
dnesday-Johnnie was half an
hour late this morning. He said his
mother neglected to call him as early
as usual l hope it will not occur
again. As consequence my desk
wasn't busted, for l hadn't time to
leave it while Johnnie put things to
rights
Observation-Disclosures was here when |
arrived this morning, but l noticed
that my desk wasn't busted. He was
reading the morning paper when
came in. and didn't offer to get up.
Friday-Johnnie takes an uncon-
scionably long time to go of an errand.
He managed 10 put in a whole hour
this morning going not more than FIVE
blocks
Saturday-Johnnie is making a great
nuisance Of himself as whistler At
first he was nice and quiet, but he
seems to have outgrown that
Monday-Oh, yes; l had to discharge
Johnnie. He wasted his time awfully.
Why, on Saturday he consumed three
quarters OF an hour going half square
to the post Office. And then. he never
pretended TO mind anything l said. and
! couldn't get 10 see the morning paper
until after he had read it. Then he
whistled all day long when he was in
the Office, and regularly distracted me.
He was no good. and had to discharge
him. You don't know where / could
get a good, reliable boy, CO your
Judge.

That "Honesty is the Best Policy" Has
Ever to be Newly Demonstrated.
Sixty years ago there were in the
Tong room of the London custom house
twelve officers styled cocket-writers, be-
cause they wrote certificates that goods
had been duly entered and the duties
paid. They were also known as patent
officers, because appointed for life by
letters-patent from the crown. Their
salaries were nominal, sixty pounds a
year, but they were permitted to re-
munerate themselves by extortipg fees
from the merchants, fees which in some
eases amounted to thousand pounds q
year.
In 1881 the treasury determined to
abolish patent offices, and called upon
the twelve cocket writers to furnish a
statement of their emoluments. The of
fcers, ignorant of the treasury's pur-
pose, imagined that the government in
tended to impose an income tax. Ten OF
the writers, therefore, returned state
ment which understated their fees by
several hundred pounds. The other two
furnished an honest statement.
In a few days, ten clerks were sur.
prised and Disguised, and two clerks
were astonished and pleased. The treas
urv notified the cocket-writers that
their offices would be abolished, and
that they would be compensated by PEN
sions rated according TO the returns
they had themselves furnished.
There were crashing OF teeth and
broad smiles in the long room One OF
the two honest cocket-writers enjoyed
his pension for fifty-two years, during
which time the treasury paid him fifty
two thousand dolIars.-Y outh's Com
