And he sings his song most all the day;
He builds his nest up high in the tree

He has his eggs-one, two and three
And nice little fellow is he.
When he comes he has no fear
For his song he wants you to hear;
And you know he got his red breast
BY tanning the fire to save the rest
And at last he gives you his goodbye,
AS for the south he has to fly.
With the children OF that land he's acquainted
Where the birds and flowers are gaily painted:
But in the spring he's back so gay,
Singing his song the livelong day.

The "Green Ray" at Sunset.

The "green ray" or "green fash
at the moment the sun disappears from
view beneath the horizon has been
noticed by many physicists. Some OF
them consider this is an optical illu-
sion. NJ. Guebha1d states, however.
that the green ray is the great shadow
of the earth feebly illuminated from
the zenith and viewed by an eye fa-
tigued for red; it therefore appears
green. Pellat, on the contrary, states
that the yellow setting sun has a red
lower and green upper border sep
arately examinable in the telescope and
due to prismatic reflection by the at
mosphere. The absorption which max es
the sun disk appear yellow makes the
violet upper rim appear green or
greenish blue instead of violet. When
the sun sets, the upper green rim can
be seen for fraction of second, out
it may be kept longer in view if the
observer goes up slope as the sun
SETS" The first writer to which we
gave referred thought this was differ
snt from the green ray following the
setting of the red sun. M. Raveau
said that he had seen the sea colored
green in a triangle with its apex al
the point where the sun set, and the
oolor seems to flow away toward the

Ou,wltted by His Wife.

A commercial traveller, whose wife
is one of those women who borrows
trouble indiscriminately, had occasion
to make trip East recently.
His wife was very anxious about
him and felt certain that he would
fall victim to smallpox, which was
reported to be prevalent in the city to
which he was going. She begged him
to carry little lump of asafetida in
his pocket to ward off contagion.
Naturally he objected aud positive
ly refused to be made the permanent
abode of such persistent odor.
When he came home from his trip
he said to his wife:
"It is wonderful, the power Of i'm
agination. Why, don't you know,

SULPHUR as a Fumipant.

The fumigating properties of sui
phur have long made it valuable
household remedy, and the sulphur
candles now on the market fill long
felt want. Not only are they a con-
venient disinfectant, but they are al
most sure death to flies, red ants,
reaches and moths. The room to be
fumigated must be tightly closed, even
the keyholes stopped with paper; then
closets, trunks. drawers and all in
fected receptacles must be opened, so
the fumes of the sulphur can pene-
trate every nook and Granny. The
candle is put in metal candlestick
and set in an earthen OF iron vessel -
a coal hod will answer quite as we'll as
anything else. The only requisite is
that it shall be deep enough to pre-
vent the flames setting fire to any
thing. Care must be taken not to in
hale the flame when lighting the can
die. The room should be kept closed
for about four hours, during which
time the purifying fumes of the sui
phur will thoroughly do their work.
These candles must not be used where
there is gilt paper, picture rails or
picture frames, as they will be tar
nished.

FOR THE HOUSE WIVES.
Hanging Pot Of Maidenhair.

Procure an unglazed pottery carafe
Or water-L Lottle, place little earth
carefully around it, and stick in close
together many roots of the maiden
hair fern, and cover with wire net
ting; this is to keep the earth AID
ferns in their place. The netting
must be coarse enough to allow the
ferns to grow through the meshes,
and must not be put on too tightly.
Now fasten around the top OF the
carafe some fine wiresto hang it up by;
when hanging up nearly fill the carafe
with water, and always keep it SO; for
the vessel, being porous, allows the
moisture to dampen the roots and
keep them alive. If properly attend
ed to, the carafe will soon be nothing
but ball Of maidenhair fern, and very
beautiful. = Harper's Bazaar.

Improved Physlq nc Of Mon ana women

Improved Physiq no or Mon and women
The fine physique with which Brit
ish girls are now blessed is attributed
to the healthier life they lead in con-
sequence of the open air exercise in
which they indulge. But nothing has
been said about men. Perhaps the
papers imagine they were always as
zig as they are now. It is interesting,
therefore, to look at the tables of the
weights of the crews in the univers-
!ty race, showing that they are much
heavier than in former years.
From the year 1841 inclusive, until
;he present day, there was no crew
averaging - stone (16S pounds) until
Oxford. with exactly that weight, won
in 1857, the average weight being
roughly about liz stone (161 pounds).
Until the end of 1877 there were only
four crews averaging 12 stone or ocs-.
From that date until 1887 there were
six crews over that weight, but the
weights under IL stone had gone up
considerably from the earlier periods.
From 1887 until the present time
there have only been five crews under
IL stone, both crews in 1883 being un-
der that weight, and the Cambridge
crew in 1894 being oliy half pound
under. So that for the last ten years
there have, practically speaking, been
only two crews under IL stone. It is
certainly significant that the increase
of weight in the university crews
should have been contemporaneous
with the marked physical develop

IOveInaking by Proxy.

proposal of marriage, but his courage
failed him, and he induced his sister
to become an intermediary, he re-
naming outside the half closed door,
hidden, but within earshot, to learn
the result.
1t was not favorable. The fair one
saucily tossed her head and replied
Indeed, now, if I'm good enough
to be married, I'm good enough to be

Hearing this, the anxious swain
thrust his head inside the door and
said beseechingly:

Taking Care of Blankets.

A great deal of labor is saved by
taking proper care of blankets. When
blankets are first purchased baste
henmed strip of sheeting over the
top edges. When this is soiled re-
place it by another, so that the edges
of the blanket do not come against
the hands and face or accidentally
touch the floor when the bedclothes
are turned back. Air blankets very
thoroughly. At least once a month,
on clear day. when no wind is stir
ring, hang them ON the line to air for
twelve hours, turning them and shak-
ing them free from dust at least once.
Use a little cotton counterpane over
the blankets at night; this is easily
washed and does not attract dust as
the loose meshes of wooden blanket
do. Use another counterpane for
covering the bed in the daytime over
that used at night. By these means
bed blankets may be kept aired
and will not need to be washed
oftener than once in two years.
1t pays to use light, inexpen-
sive blankets in summer, replacing
them by the heavy. more expensive
all wool blankets designed for winter,
or whenever the weather demands it.
When not in use wrap up fine blan-
kets carefully in cotton sheets and pack
them away from moths. Sachets of
lavender scattered among blankets and
bed linen are a warning to moths to
keep away when they are put in the
closet. as well =, inducement to azure
lidded sleep nen they are spread on
the bed.

An OLr Fashion Revived,

Box-plaited skirts are here already,

such open arms as was the habit back,

OCCASIONALLY one will meet a man who deplores
criticism in any form for whatsoever purpose it
may be used to accomplish certain results. Criticism
is weapon that has accomplished gigantic upheavas
for the elevation of the human race since the
dawn of history. The man who considers criticism
vapid artculations has much to conceal and very
little argument to justify him in opposing it. If it
wasn't for criticism perhaps the Spanish inqusition
would still be in operation. England would long
ago have had an Empire the western hemisphere.
Our institutions of today would long ago have be-
come obsolete. Public officials would soon become
emboldened and betray the confidence of the masses
in order to satisfy their lust for gold. Life and
property would be put in jeopardy and morals would
Neros time. Criticism is public opinion dissatisfied.
At times its voice is weak and brazenly unheeded
by those whom its satire is aimed at. Again it
sweeps onward in it's course with salutary effect
that is profound and permanent. We wouldn't want
to see criticism hrottled neither would preachers,
business men, politicians newspapers. Preachers
hardly preach sermon without Intervening
their discourse with severe rebukes against nom
church goers against the supposedly iniquities
that prevalent In almost every community Poll
tcians and business are similarly situated.
Criticism is their stock trade and it is as gener-
ously resorted to- to gain the advantage of an op-
ponent as it is to undersell a competitor. There
cases where criticism has been directed wrongly
in revengeful spirit, but for every one such mis-
|applied criticism there are cases where it's results
have been it has exposed fraud and
hypocrisy.
