VIRTUES REWARD.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

The baby that's good lies all day long.
Toying away with his toes,
And no one fingers to Groom him song
Or lessen his little woes;
The baby that's good neglected lies
Where the sun shines into his blinking eyes
And the flies trot over his nose
The baby that squalls all day, all night,
Is s"mother's sweet, precious pet'
She fondles and rocks him with all her might,
And leaves everything else upset.
The baby that only knows how to squall
Is danded and pampered and always gets all
The care that there is to get.
The man who quietly tolls away,
With never plant nor sigh,
just doing his best day after day,
With hopes of the By and-By,
Who merely accepts what the world accords,
Receives but few of the sweet rewards
For which the successful try.
The man who demands the best there is,
Who asks-as the poorest may
Though Others have stronger claims than his,
Takes the fairest gifts away;
The man who asks may have little worth
But he gets the best there is OH earth
For saying his little say.

Four More Hot Summers Coming


By Garrett P. Serviss, Astronomer.
All astronomers know that the face of
the sun is blanketed with absorbing vapors,
while its interior is much hotter than the
glowing shell that we see. Strip off the
vaporous blanket entirely, and the surface
of the earth would probably burst into
smoke and fame in the instantaneous gush
of unbearable heat that would be poured
upon it.
Whenever, as occurs periodically, though
not always to the same extent, the solar
vapors are thinned, the heat from within
leaps out through the weakened shell and
strikes the earth and the other nearby
planets as with breath of fire from the
suddenly opened door of a blazing furnace.
That is what happened this summer, and
the immediate agency that flung open the
furnace door and sent forth the destroying
blast is the mysterious power whose visible
manifestation is the presence of black sun
spots. But it is mistake to suppose that
the sun spots themselves exercise any direct
influence upon the weather or that there
must be spots on the sun whenever there
is extraordinary heat on the earth.
The spots are simply indicators of the
sun condition, resembling in that respect
the eruptions on the face of smallpox
patient They tell the story of the sun s
internal commissions and indicate some of
the places on its surface where the pent up
forces are bursting out.
The sun is subject to strange physical
disorder, which shakes its system to the
very center and, like malarious disease,
recurs in more or less regular periods, but
with varying intensity. In fact, the SINH
larity to some of the recurrent diseases that
afflict humanity goes so far that there is a
kind of double period in the sun spot cycle,
and we have now arrived at the beginning
of the great primary period of the cycle
which is marked by intensifcation of the
solar disturbances.
Hence the fierce blasts of the destroying
sunshine that dried and parched the air,
dissipated its gathering moisture, scattered
the assembling stormclouds and out of a
cloudless sky dropped scorching atmospheric
sheets upon the cornfelds of the west until
the very soil seem on the point of catching
fire.
For the next four years these gigantic
outbursts will increase in fury, and cor
responding series of terrestrial seasons,
marked by great excesses of temperature,
sudden contrasts and extraordinary cyclonic
disturbances, will follow
