THE SUMME

ne beautiful summer is almost done.
Though long II sec med when the nOontidC sun
Of luhilant June strca:ncd clear and high
Through the vast cXpansc Of the soft blue Sky,
The fair fields smiled in their vivid green,
The rivulct sporkied and danced between
It's emerald edges, with merry song;
Ana said: Oh, tho summer Is blithe and longl
The beautiful summer is almost gone,
1T seemed not so when July came on;
When the sun, with a heightened splendor
shOnc,
When The rivulet hummed in q drGwsy tone,
When blade and bud fast waxed complete
Meath the brilliant beams and the fostering
heat
When the grain fields teemed with q mighty
throng,
And l said Oh, the summer is bright and long
The beautiful summer is almost DER,
The rtvulet sleeps, and it sings no more:
The heart of the universe pulses strong
through the hidden arteries vast and long,
INC ripcned seeds in their cells expand,
The goldon grain waits the harvest hand,
Meath the glowing CLEANS of the August SUM-
And sigh; Oh, the summer is almost donel
Summers Of life how We come and gol
But whence or whittier, what soul may knowt
For ye fee away as the shadows pass
Like silent wave DER the growing grass
1e burn in the vigor Of manhood's prime.
Ye burn with an energy sublime;
but yc wanc, and ye darken, your warmth Is
gone
And the winter, the winter comes surely on
o. glorious center Of living flame!
@, radiant source whence existence camel
Withdraw not thy lustcr of loving light,
Lest l shuddcr and perish in chill and night
Let my spirit within thine efrulgcnce float,
Upborne aloft TO thy spheres remote;
Let It poise and soar through realms OF day,
Unshadowed, unshrinking, away, away!

GOODNESS OF SPACE.


1t Is Estimated to be Many Degrees HeIow
the Freezing Point.
We rarely realize, think, how easily
the eaYth parts with its heat, and how
cold space is through which the earth
sweeps in its orbit Nor do we com
monty appreciate how relentlessly space
sucks away the heat which the earth
has !Arnered from the sunbeams, out
into its illimitable depths. Way out
in srhce is cold 50 intense that we
fairly fail to grasp its meaning. Per-
haps three hundred or four hundred
degrees below the frcezing-point of
water, some philosophers think, are the
dark rccesses beyond our atmosphere
And night and day, summer and win
ter, this insatiatc space is rob-
bing ds Of our heat, and fighting
with demoniac power to reduce our
globe to its own bitter chill. So,
after all, our summer and winter tenn
peratutes are only maintained by the
residue Of the suns heat which we have
been able to store up and keep hold OF
III spite of the pitiless demands of space
Our margin sometimes gets so reduced
on nights in winter that we can readily
believe the astronomers and physicists
when they tell us that a reduction of
the suns heat by seven per cent and a
slight increase in the number of winter
days would suffice 20 bring again to our
hemisphere new age of ice, with its
inevitable desolation. The balance is
really nice one between the heat we
daily gather from the sun and the share
of it which we lose in space. II Mitch

| found the two little girls still
moaning at the drawing-room window
the younger lest Bobby should die
and the other because his friends
would tell their sisters, who could
never again be expected to esteem the
name of Robinson.
Mrs, Robinson was for the moment not
on speaking terms with Robinson, be-
cause he seemed to think that Bobby
should continue to go to "such school,"
If Bobby had misconducted himself sure
ly the blame lay with master who
did not understand that he was boy

She had never had the least trouble
with Bobby. No, he was not in the

after delivering the letter, and she had
searched for him everywhere in vain.
Ills pride had been broken. He would
never be the same boy again. He was
afraid to be looked at. He was no
doubt hidden somewhere In the cold
night; and he had not even on his great
coat, and he would catch his death of
cold.

older girl Frightening up, Twill the

Bobby. At last we found him in Mr..

thus:

The lynehing of the Ruggles

some novel features even to the careful
observer of the methods of vigilantes.
1t is probably the first case on record
in which the mob spent an hour and a
half in opening the sheriff's safe to get
the Jail keys. Then, again, this was

AMONG THE POULTRY.

EMBDEN geese will lay two settings
of eggs.
AFTER they once begin, guineas are
very regular layers.
ELEVEN turkey or duck eggs are
enough to put under hen.
LET young poultry stay in the nest
until they are thoroughly dry.
CARE must be taken not to allow the
carly turkey eggs to get chilled.
SETTING hens should have an opportu-
nifty to come off the nest once every day.
DUCKS and turkeys should rarely be
turned out until they are at least two
weeks old.
SAND is one of the best materials to
keep on the floor of the coops: it is east
ly cleaned up.
WHEN hens have been laying for some
time the last eggs are not SO good for
Matching as the first.
WHENEVER there is a considerable
number of young chickens it will pay
to provide separate place for them to
Ioost.
As THE weather gets warmer lice will
begin to be more troublesome. Unless
kept down the chickens will not make g
thrifty growth.

should have it's place, and when
not in actual use, should be in
it's place. Those which arc hooked
in form may be hung on pins, or on a
