EVENING-WME.

Over the old tired world the soothing night
Sinks softly down; still family CLOVIS the
west;
The eager birds now cease their joyous fight
And seek the loving shelter of the nest:
o, heart, fret not; pause in the fading light;
This evening-time thou too shalt have thy
rest.
Homeward the weary cattle wind their way;
The evening star hangs in the quiet sky;
Athwart the fields the shadows long and gray
Stretch out like arms, and prone and dark
ling lie
Upon the unresting brooks; gone is the day;
y, restless heart, thine evening too draws
nigh.

1.-THE lives Of most men," says q
learned writer, ''are mis-spent for
want of a certain end of their &C.
tions; wherein they do, as unwise
archers, shoot away their arrows
they know not at what mark. They
live only out of the present, not d.
recting themselves and their pro-
ceedings to one universal scope;
whence they alter upon every change
of occasions, aud never reach any
perfection; neither can do other but
continue in uncertainty and end in
discomfort. Others aim at one Ger
tain mark, but wrong one. Some,
though fewer, level at right end,
but amiss. To live without one
main and common end is idleness
and folly. To live at a false end is
deceit aud loss. True Christian
wisdom both shows the end and
finds the way; and as cunning poll
tics have many plots to compass
one and the same design by a deter
mined succession, so the wise Chris
tian, failing in the means, yet still
fetcheth about to his steady end
with constant change of endeavors;
such an one only lives to purpose
and at last repents not that he hath
lived"

A peculiar plant, known as the
Compass plant, the polar plant, and
the pilot, is found in Texas. It is
90 called because of the polarity of
its leaves. The radical leaves pre-
sent their edges north and south,
while their faces are turned east
and west. This popularity has long
been known to hunters, who on
dark nights easily get their bearings
by feeling the direction of the leaves.

New York World: The Kentucky
Beet Sugar company is a foreign
corporation whose appearance in
this country may very properly be
welcomed. This company is an.
nounced as an organization of Ger
man capitalists who propose to en-,
gage in the manufacture of beet
sugar on an extensive scale. They
propose to build at Bowling Green,
iu Kentucky, plant to cost $780,.
600, and to have a capacity of fifty
tons or graduated sugar every "a
hours. The new industry proposes
to stand on its own feet, as a legiti-
mate business, and this should be
the attitude of every industry in
this country"

"The conflicting elements of the
Democracy are so widely apart in
their views that unless they do get
together on o common ground, the
party will be already whipped when
it enters the next national campaign.
"There should be tolerance, each
side according to honesty of purpose
to the other. Democrats can differ
with the President without calling
bin a traitor or scoundrel; Demo
Gratis can oppose free coinage with
out calling its advocates rouges or
idiots. The fact is that both sides
possess strong arguments and large
elements of truth. A full presenta-
ton of either side is convincing to
the average mind. This being the
case, men should not form hasty
conclusions nor pass harsh c1iti-
cisms, but should remember that We
are all Democrats, equally interest
ed in the prosperity and financial
solidity of this great nation. Let
the question be fully discussed, but
in an amicable spirit, and each side
will see how much reasonableness
there is in the argument of the other.
1t is a great question, the solution
of which requires great study and
thought. The greatest minds and
the greatest patriots of the day differ
about it. Such being the case, and
SO much depending on proper set
Element Of the matter, common sense
dictates that passion should play no

 What is her name, Tommy my boy?" said l, going to the root of the matter at once.
 Then he broke down, ordered the beer and cigars, and began to unpack his heart

If l approach the all-important topic she freezes and petrifies So long as l am friendly and conventional that girl Is bewilderng, fascinating, but com init herself she won't. Now, l want you to go up and call with me, and see if you can't discover any symptoms of favor toward me"
 All right, my boy" said I. T will take charge of the case. It promises to be very interesting and to have new phases
 So Tommy and I went up to see the cruel fair one. She received me very graciously, gave Tommy two fingers, and then proceeded to ignore his presence and limit her conversation to me. She told him he would find mamma and the girls in the dining room and some new photographs in the library. She talked blue streak to me, 800 revolutions of the tongue to the second. When Tommy came back and 1 rose to leave she gave me cordial handshake poked her left hand out sideways toward Tommy, who was a little in the rear, shot quick glance at him, quickly withdrew her hand, and, laughing, ran out of the room.
 When we got outside Tommy burst out with: You see how it is; she doesn't care a baw bee for me, for she hardly spoke to me and talked all the time to you" ',

She is hard hit. Go up there to- morrow night and court. My word for it she surrendefs.

Hints for Keeping Cool.

Harpers Round Table. It is very much as one looks at it wheth CT one is to suffer or enjoy most during the summer. Fretting and fidgetins and violent flaming add to ones discomfort. To go right on with ones work. and neither.think nor care for the heat, often enables one to forget it, and if the mind be only held superior the body does not cold. Some foolish people actually fuss summer is reigning, in her bounty ripen- ing fruits and grains, and giving us her splendid skies and sunsets.
 To keep the house cool in July air 1t thoroughly in the early morning, then close the windows and screen doors, and darken bedrooms and parlors. A dark closed room will be comfortable at mid day. Select a cool window or corner-of the veranda and carry your books and sewing there, or establish yourself under a tree. Eat cold dishes and ripe fruit. Fan moderately. Do not drink quanti- ties of ice water. Do not let yourself be annoyed or vexed with anyone. Bathe at least twice day and think pleasant thoughts. A lawn party is charming for q late afternoon in summer. Invite your friends to come from to s o'clock Spread rugs on the grass, and bring out some small tables and rocking-chairs For re- treatments have lemon sherbet. sponge cake, ice cream. snow pudding. iced tea or coffee. thin sandwiches. or anything else you like. Play lawn-tennis or cro- quet, or any other game you choose

 Review of Reviews
 In the first place it was obviously nec- essary to find, if possible, key to the hieroglyphics in which the mural in- scriptions are written, and to the solu- ton of this problem pr. le Plongeon di- rected all his efforts. For a long time his attempts in this direction were futile and 1t was only after the most prolonged and careful analysis of the characters that he at length stumbled upon a clew. He happened to observe that certain signs carved on the walls of one of the buildings closely resembled those of the ancient Egyptian alphabet, with which he was familiar. This led him to seek for further points of resemblance, which he also found. The next step was to deter mine the language of the inscriptions. Knowing how excessively conservative are the aborigines of Yucatan in all re- spects, Dr. .le Plongeon inferred that probably the language spoken by them at the present day might have at least some affinity with that of the mysterious writ ings on the walls. To satisfy himself on this head he devoted himself to patient study of the living tongue as spoken by the fierce and warlike tribes known as the Clutches, who dwell amidst the fast nesses of the mountains in Guatemala and who have maintained their inde- pendence against all invaders. These tribes are the direct decendants of the ancient Mayas, and, as Dr. le Plongeon discovered, they have retained the an cient language of their ancestors in al- most it's pristine purity.
 This Maya language is one of the very oldest tongues known to us, quite as old as Sanskrit. if not still more ancient By giving to the mural characters the same phonetic value which they possess in the language of the Clutches, the doctor found that htey formed intelllble words and phrases, and he quickly then perceived that the language of the inscriptions was identical with that still spoken by the
