slightly in winter.
Why?
It's different in winter.
Where does the summer girl have her
habitation?
By the mountains and by the sea, by
hill and dale, and wherever the summer,
glow is tempered by the cooling breeze.
Anywhere else?
Where man is, there the summer girl is
also.
Where the summer girl is, is man there
also?
The summer girl says he isn't always.
Why does man permit any of this indie
scribable lovelinoss to escape him?
The supply exceeds the demand.
How is that possible?
. Man is not infinite in his capacity.
Does the summer girl know this?
! She doesn't let herself think about it.
Does she think men are plenty?
She treats them as if she did.
And still without them she is a good
deal like bit of color when the light goes
out?
A little that way.
Are all summer girls alike?
Largely; during the summer.
Are they all pretty?
Their gowns are.
What is their chief characteristic?

Obi They 11irt!
What's that?
Telling a man the moon is green cheese
and making him believe it.
Don't engagements of marriage some
times result?
Engagements without the marriage,
please.
Why not marriage?
The first frost kills that part Of it.
Why?
The summer girl is out for fun.
And the man?
He gets over it.
Doesn't the summer girl ever marry?
Whenever she gets the chance.
Isn't there a chance in these summer
engagements?
Not much
Why not?
The men are not as silly as they talk.
Oh, the men have something to do with
1t, then?
A little.
mer girl?
Certainly.
And do they ever marry herr
Yes
When?
When she gets over the summer girl
habit.
Are the newspapers an authority on the
subject?
They ought to be. They discovered her.
In rosebud; in lily pad; in a cradle
of moonshine; in a spoonful of June.
How did the newspapers ever get into
such places as those?
Just as they do into any other place.
Are the newspapers reliable?
AS reliable as the summer girl is.
Doesn't that imply doubtS
No doubt.
Why is the girl not the same in the sum-
mer as she is in the winter?
Summer is warm.
What has that to do with it?
Heat expands.
Um-that means she is wider in her
scopeP
Exactly.
Takes in everything in sight?
Yes.
And goes it blind for the balance3
Precisely.
Do the men like that sort of thingP
They can stand it. They are not totally
without expansion themselves.
Something of a case of similia similibus
curantur?
That's about the size of it.
To come right down to the hard facts,

OBITUARY.

Stephie Dryer. only son of Mrs. NJ.
1. Dwyer, died Friday, August 16. 1895,
at 9:25 p. N, and was buried on Satur-
day, at p. m, in the Catholic cemetery.
Little Stephie was sick about ten days
with that terrible disease of childhood,
"diphtheria." and was a constant sufferer
until near the end, when he dropped into
what seemed a peaceful slumber, only
waking in his far away home.
He was the JOY and pet. not only of his
happy home. but of all his many friends
and relatives, being an exceedingly
bright, intelligent and manly little fell
low, always of bright, sunny, happy
disposition. Many loving friends. who
could not be with him, sent flowers and
other tokens of their kindness and sym
pathy.
Sleep my little one sleep,
Narrow the bed and deep,
Soon in the angels tender arms
Safe sheltered there from earth's alarms.
Thou wilt waNen sweet baby mine, in thy
home beyond.
Sleep my little one.

And none but US can tell,

Has taken you home 60 dwell.

THE SuMMER GIRL.

The Maiden Who Dominates Summer Prose,
Summer Poetry and Summer Resorts.
Do you see the maiden9
do see the maiden.
Who is the maiden?
Her name is legion.
What is her other name?
Summer girl.
Why summer girl?
Because she is the daughter of summer.
Does she not prevail at other seasons9
Not in that form
In what form is that?
A bewildering bedazzlement of pink and
white.
Does that mean the girl or her gown?
To the poetic sense there isn't any girl
Or gown.
No?
No. It's unity of duality defying die
tionaries to describe.
How is it described?
By heart thrGbs.
Isn't that rather intangible?
No moro so than the summer girl.
She isn't an actual being, then2
Yes, she is.
In an actual gown?
Yes.
Then she is like other girls?
Not at all.
What is she like?
She is like dream OF fluffy wilderness
sweeping through the sunlight; an rides
cent bubble blown by Cupid from dew
drops cupped in roses; a pink checked
fairy tripping down the silver path of
summer; a blue eyed vision of a fleecy
cloud upon an azure sky; a tangled tress
of golden hair entWined about beating
heart; a poem underneath parasol.
Anything more?
Much more.
Are all summer girls blue eyed and gold
en- haired?
They are of all kinds.
Are they all visions and fairies and bub-
b1es?
Yes.
And poems?
Yes.
And dreams?
Yes.
Do they ever come true?
Dreams go by contraries.
In winter as well as in summer?
Well no. They come around our way

Execution by Electricitx.

The last number Of tie Electrical
World publishes an articl, proving
from an auto sy on the victim of the
twenty-f0urih electrical execution in
New York that dea.h was isstantanc-
u and painless. The summing up
reads: The evidence is. therefore,
that a current Of eight amperes, ap-
piled through the body at a pressure
of LAO volts, and representing 4 pow
er Of LILO tines eight, which equals
13 800 watts, or about 1873 electrical
horsepower, will produce %instantane-
GUS, painless and absolute death; and
that the evidence present@d by an eX-
animation Of the brain alone was suti-
cient to demonstrat, the abs t. inn
possibility Of resucitation. Although
in our opinion there Is no hope Of re-
s%uscitatiOn in cases where. as in this
electrical execution. an alternating cur
rent Of sufficient Il. NJ. F. is de!;b r.
ately sent through the body Of the
criminal, yet in all cases tf accid ntal
contact with high pressure circuits. in
our opinion, efforts for re usc.tation
should be made. S nee in NEST casss of
accidents from electricity, either from
the imperfection of the contact. or it's
short duration. the current strength
passing through the body and the FL c.
trical energy expe .lded thereby, hi. hit
only be sufficient to produce a loss of
consciousness"

Minneapolis, March 10. - Guilty as
charged was the verdict rendered by
the Jury in the case of Harry Hay
YARD for the murder of Catherine
Cling. and he Is now in the shadow
Of the gallows.
The verdict was reached after only
two hours elaboration.
Mr.. Erwin was taken Ill before the
verdict was announced and went to
ST. Paul. A stay of proceedings was
granted until next week, when a mo-
ZION will be made for a new trial. II
this is refused all appeal will be taken
to the supreme court.
Had the verdict been one Of 'acquittal
Hayward would have been lynched
ami nothing could have prevented 1t,
as the mob about the court room was
large enough to overcome the entire
police department.
The Dn.'s Proceedings.
Court opened an hou, earlier than
usual to give Mr.. Erwin the time to
close his argument for the defendant,
Witch had already lasted two days.
EswIn began by pointing out that the
loan Harry Hayward made Miss Cling
had not been attacked in the evidence
except by the word of Claus Blixt.
The validity of this loan was the cita-
del OF the defense. 1t was evident that
had the police machine been properly
set i'll motion the mystery surrounding
Miss Ging's behavior would have been
solved. and in a manner consistent
with the noble character Of the girl.
At the same time it would have re-
lieved this innocent man from the
charge under which he now rests"
Mr.. Erwin then devoted himself to
the alibi and claimed that all of Har-
rvs time when he was involved by
Blixt's testimony had been satisfactory
ly accounted for. In closing he said
this is the most monstrous persecution
in the country's history.

ity in the wall in which these precious
standards are preserved somewhat re-
srinbles a tomb, and can be opened
only by tearing away the Wall. The
two articles which are therein so safely
cased are both of metal. The yard
measure is of bronze, in the shape OF
a bar, thirty.cight inches in length,
thirty-six sections, OF one yard. having
been marked off upon it with some
finely scaled instrument The weight
standard is Il cube of platinum. weigh
ing exactly sixteen ounces Weighty
as it is, it is scarcely more than an inch
in extent on either side, and. if sold for
the metal there is in 1t. would bring
nearly $500. Once every twenty years
the walls inclosing these standards are
torn away.for the purpose Of removing
the two pieces Of metal and comparing
their length and weight with the Off
cial standards in use by the bureau of
weights and measures. These cOmpari-
sons are made under the supervision Of
the president of the London board of
trade and several other officials APP

making these comparisons are used,

were again walled up with the under
standing that they would not again be
