WOrthington's Illustrated Maya
zine for July begins the second vol
ume of periodical that has been eX-
ceptionallv fortunate and successful.
Each number has steadily gained in
attractiveness and value. and this
attest issue. while very bright and
entertaining for summer reading. has
still sufficient sOlidity to recommend
it to readers in search of the practi-
cal and useful. and to those who most
enjoy significant thought and en-
larged views expressed in graceful
and polished sentences.
Scribner's Magazine for July con-
tains Il striking article in the Mems
Occupations series by w. Clark Rus
sell (the writer of sea tales on The
Life of the Merchant Sailor" giving
graphic account of forecastle life in
modern sailing vessel. showing
how little it has changed since the
old days when Dana wrote his Two
Years Before the Mast" The abund-
ant illustrations are by Frank Bran
gwyn, an English marine artist,
whose work is new to American mag
azines. The number abounds in con-
tributions profusely and attractively
illustrated.
Larry is a new book by Miss
Amanda NJ. Douglass, which ap-
peared Gor the most parD in the
Youths Companion, being the story
to which was awarded the munificent
prize of $4,000. In the limit fixed
by the publishers of the Companion
a few chapters had to be omitted {;
but in the complete volume just pub
lished by Lee Il Shepard, these are
restored, giving the story rounded
fullness. 1t is not especially juve-
nile novel, but is equally interesting
to mature readers. Larry, or Law
renee, is fine character and appeals
to the hearts OF all.
With the third part of omega, -
the work of the French astronomer
Flammarion, which appears in the
Cosmopolitan for July, the reader is
able to grasp something of the great
purpose of the author. Omega" is
declared by those who have read the
entire work to sbe one of the most re-
markable writings of the century.
While pretending to be Il novel it is
work having a deeply philosophical
purpose. as is more fully developed
in latter chapters. 1t is something
that no fairly intelligent person can
afford not to read. and is surely des-
tined to become classic.
The current number of the Engi-
neering Magazine (New York; is even
more profusely illustrated with en-
cravings of high order than is usual
in this handsomely gotten up publ
cation. Thirty pages are devoted to
the sculptors of the Worlds fair, in
Producing views of some of the most
notable pieces of sculpture produced
in the Communication of the fair
buildings, together with portraits OF
the sculptors. Another literally i'll
ustrated paper relates to the impor-
tant industry of coke manufacture in
the United States. A paper by a
leading New York architect on me-
chanical aids to building is also i'll
ustrated to liberal degree. Other

What shall We Drinka

When the rays of old Sol are boiling
down at a ninety degree rate, the air like
the breath of a furnace and everything hot,
dry and dusty, the natural desire of the
average human is to drink. But, what to
drink2 there's the question.
The serious effect of an over indulgence
in ice water is well-known. The thousand
and one cheap gassy beverages are known
to be more or less injurious to the health,
while the mineral waters of known purity
and healthfulness are luxury beyond the
reach of but few. What shall we drink?
A beverage to meet the requirements,
must, first of all, be absolutely pure and
non alcoholic. 1t should possess a medi
cinal element to counteract the effects of
the heat and keep the blood pure and the
stomach healthful. In order to be palatable
and refreshing, it should be sparkling and
effervescent Last but not least, it must be
economical and within the reach of ALL A
beverage that fully meets all of the above
requirements and one that is entitled to
more than passing mention is Hires Root
beer, manufactured by the Chas. E. Hires
Co., of Philadelphia. This preparation has
been analyzed by the highest authorities
and pronounced by them to be free from
any deleterious substance and absolutely
non-alcoholic; while all physicians acknoW-
ledge its health giving qualities. 1t has
delicious, appetizing flavor, is full of snap,
sparkle and 'effervescence, and is without
peer as refreshment.
A package, costing 25 cents at the grocer's
Or druggists, will make five gallons of this
great temperance driuk. Truly it answers
the question-What shall we drink. There
are many substitutes and limitations of
Hires Rootbeer offered for sale which
should be carefully avoided.

June 1884, held large and valuable real

wood, which were post marked Chicago,

mailed in railway post Office car under
cover to the postmaster at Chicago. These
letters were pronounced frauds by those
familiar with the handwriting of Noses
CHM.

valuable estate, consisting of three beau
tiful farms, to take place July 25th.

Church Notes.

On account of the threatening weather
last Sunday evening, the twilight service at
the NJ. E Church was held in the church
instead of on the lawn. Rev. F. F. Car
penter, of Townsend, preached a excellent
sermon on paul Servant of Jesus Christ. ;:
Mr.. Carpenters hearers were much pleased
and hope he will again favor them. Though
he has been in the ministry but few years,
bis ease in the pulpit and his pleasant voice
and manner add much the force of his
words. The morning service and love
feast lead by the pastor were well attended,
and the whole day was full of worship and
praise
Rev F. H. Moore preached very strong
sermon to young men on last Sunday even
ing, pointing out very clearly the dangers
and evils of the ball room, cards and other
worldly amusements, and giving as a
standard for young men the christians type
of perfect manhood. He will preach a
special sermon to young women on Sunday
evening in the Presbyterian Church.

dismiss from the almshouse all persons who,
in bis judgment were able to work, except
those whose assistance could be utilized in
farm work.
The subject of outside relief was discus
sed at length. The pressing necessity for
reducing the amount of allowances for this
purpose was enforced by the experience of
every member of the board as he related il,
but no practical measure was offered except
thatevery one exercise the strictest scrutiny
over the applications for help and giev or
ders only to those persons whose circum
stances really demanded help from the
county.
The practice of petty stealing among the
inmates was brought to the attention of
tine Board, and denounced, and the guilty
parties were ordered to be dismissed.

The nuns occupying the Academy of the
Visitation, on Delaware avenue near Har-
rison street, will remove to the convent at
Kentmere about the middle of next month.
Immediately after being vacated by the
present occupants the academy will be
occupied by band of st. Ursulines, from
the community of Mt. St, Ursula, Bedford
Park, New York city. which will come
here at the invitation of Bishop Curtis.
The Ursulines are the Oldest teachers in

Angela Medicci, an italian, who, being too
humble to give it her own name, called it
St Ursula. The first Ursuline to arrive in
America was Martha Mary of the Incar-
nation, who came in 1889 and, founded the
Quebec convent for white and Indian
children.

The Shut-ins,


If these days are oppressive to us who
are in the full enjoyment of health, how
much more trying they must be to those
who are sick, confined to beds of pain OF
are confirmed invalids. If we should take
the time to think, we might be able to make
their life little brighter. A few flowers,
half hours cheerful chat. or the reading
of selections from some pleasing book given
in such way that the sick room seems
brighter for our coming, will not be much
for US. but ii will make very sunny spot
in the day that to those deprived of all the
beauty of June out door life seems SO long.
Perhaps in selfishly inclined humor you
will think the day too warm the walk too
long, and the exertion of dressing entirly
too much just for the sake of cheering an
invalid, but when you see the frightened
look and the new interest in the tired eyes,
you will forget that the thermometer is
away up in the nineties and you'll have the
satisfaction that only comes with the
knowledge of having done good deed.

Ring out with joy and mirth,
And send the rapture of your chimes
Around the listening earth;
Ring loud and clear that all may hear

The voice of liberty.
Ring out, o bells! ring once agaIn,

And send the echoes OF your strain
Far up tho hills OF Time:
Ring, ring with clear, prophetic voice
The bliss that yet shall be-
Say to the earth, "Reioice, rejoice!
For lave is libertyl''
Ring, tuneful bells, ring sweet and clear
A hymn of prayer and praise
That God will guide Us year by year
Through His appointed ways.
Ring, ring harmonious to His will
For only those are free
Who in the love of God fulfill
His law of liberty.
