The Home Circle.
MIDSUMMER.

The minstrel bee with dusty wings,
On every scarlet poppy sings
His drowsy lays.
Through meadows green and fields of wheat,
And where the arching willows meet,
The winding pathway leads my feet
In peaceful ways.
From nodding heads of yellow grain
The spider swings his silken chain
Against the wind
A silver net shot through and through
With trembling drops of crystal dew;
It's fragile stands of filmy blue
And gray entwined.
Across the meadows scented sea
The clover's breath steals over me
In waves of sweet;
A rhythmic sense of whetting scythe,
And brawny reapers, brown and 1.-THE,
And dewy swaths that fall and writhe
Beneath their feet.
The meadow-lark in sudden fight
Mounts upward through the dazzling light,
With tuneful throat
While from the still wood far and near,
In ripping melody, hear
The dying echoes, family clear,
Repeat his note.
The virgin water-ilies dip,
To softly kiss with amOrOus lip,
The passive stream.
Along the brink a butterfly
In languid fight goes drifting by,
And coyly shUns me where L lie
And idly dream.
The flicker skirts the hollow gum,
Taps thrice upon his muff1ed drum
A dull tattoo;
Then downward like a scarlet blaze,
He cleaves the upland'sO leafy maze
To vanish in the distant haze
OF clOudless blue.
And in the rustic of the corn
The far, faint call of midday horn
Swells on the breeze.
I watch the thin gray wreathes of smoke.
And note the woodlands measured stroke
That sounds the knel of some old oak =
Among the trees.
And through the bOughs the sunlight weaves
A pattern of the sumach leaves
Upon my book.
Forgotten theme-my thoughts from school
Play truant in the shadows cool,
Content to vex the quiet pool
With baitless hook.
Vague sadness of the solitude
My heart with some sweet grief imbued,
Makes wistful sigh;
A nameless sorrow of the wind
Strange, voiceless yearnings, underlined,
That only rise within the mind
To fade and die.

slipping taken from a southern Cali

son, which tells of the weather of
southern California for the month OF
January. 1t sounds very odd for peo-
pie Of Maine to read during our win

ing compared to that section of the
United States:
January was a dry month Not
since 1894 have the heavens been so
chary Of the much desired moisture.
The month has also been the hottest
January. with one exception, in 20
years The average temperature was
~ degrees. That average in the first
month Of the year has never been
reached but once since 1877 That once
was in 1896, according to the meteoro-
logical report issued by the weather
bureau. The precipitation for the
month was III inches. Not since 1894
has the January rainfall been SO slight.
In that year only "a of an inch fell
during the month. The two warmest
days in the month We're the 18th and
18th. when the therm Dmeter. at its
highest stood at 81 degrees The cold
ast and likewise the rainiest day was
