SUMMER MONDAY.

The glare of the burning sunshine
Pours down on the thirsting land,
1t drenches the hills and valleys,
And beats on the ocean strand.
The dusty and wheel-worn roadway
Goes struggling down the hill,
Till it loses itself mid the tasseled
corn,
Whose leaves CLEAN green and still.
The wayside blossoms are whitened
AS if with a summer snow,
And the trees drop their GREATNESS
branches
Down over the edges low.
The stubble of new-mown hay fields
Shines golden within the light
And each bare rock and vineless wall
Reflects the sunbeams bright.
The flame of the crimson peoples
Leaps up through the yellowing grain,
And down through the silent reaches
Comes the droning bees refrain.
No sign of life in the meadows
But a motionless silence instead;
The cattle are hid in the coppice,
The birds to the woodland have fled.
On surges a pulsing heat-wave,
Through the stiffness a locust sings
And bell, far off clangs harshly,
AS the MONDAY hour it rings.
Lydia Kendall Foster.

STORY for an
Hole bour
A ROMANCE OF A PINK GOWN.

Miss Lester made little Mile Cur
rier very happy when she offered to
give her piano lessons. The child
was passionately fond Of music, ana
to take lessons had been her dearest
dream, but there had seemed small
chance that it would ever be realized.
Mile had no piano, and the aunt
with whom she had lived since her
mothers death had no money to spare
for Injuries.
Miss Lester had come to Hardwick
only the previous year, hoping the
country air would benefit her invalid
mother, but he hopes were in vain,
for her mother failed instead OF gain
ing, and died six monts later. The
young lady staid on with her faithful
old servant in the pretty little house
she had rented, feeling that one place
was much like another in her sorrow
and loneliness.
Mile had been one Of her first
friends in Hardwick, for the child
used to linger outside the house to
listen as she played, until the lady
discovered her and invited her to
come in. And then came about the
proposals that almost took Miles
breath away, that Miss Lester should
give her lessons, and that she should
come every day to practice on the
beauCIlul grand piano. Mile was an
affectionate child and she almost
worshiped the kind friend who hau
al; rI,t FIJI RI
her, and her grateful little heart
longed to do something in return.
It all seemed quite impossible, but it
was destined to be realized beyond
her fondest hopes. And this is the
way it came about:
On the to44owing May Judge Han
cocks little girl gave a lawn party
and invited all the children of the
village Poor little Mile had no
dress to wear and she sadly admitted
it when Miss Lester asked her if she
were going.
The young lady said no more then,
but just as Mile had finished her
practicing and was preparing to go
home, her teacher came into the room
with lovely gown in her hand.
1t was pink cashmere, en-
broidered with tiny sprays of lilies of
the valley.
Margaret smiled at Miles admira-
ton, but there were tears in her eyes
as she said half to herself, what
happy days l have seen in that
dress!' and then continued, as Mile
looked at her inquiringly, My father
bought it for me the winter we spent
in Paris. l wore it on my birthday,
and we had little fete; we four only,
my mother, and father and-one
friends"
What a lovely present! and did
you have other presents on your birth
day?' asked Mile, who loved to hear
OF those gala days which she had
never known.
ooh, yes, books and candy, and
flowers, dozens Of pink roses and mas
ses Of lilies OF the valley to match my
gown and a beautiful diamond locket,
containing a miniature'
"Oh, Miss Lester, may l see the
locket?" asked the child eagerly
Her friend looked suddenly grave
and stern as she said, mo, I haven't
it on now" and Mile, though longing
to know if it were lost or what it's
fate dared ask no more questions.
But ne next moment, the young lady
surprised her by telling her she was
to have the gown and wear it to the

Insects think as truly as men 40, al
though not, of course, on the same
scale. This is the belief of M Forel,
a French neurolOgist, who has been
making observations of ants and bees
tor relaxation. He thinks tnat. be-
tween the ideas OF the naturalist who
regards insects as mere automatons
and those OF the man VINO treats them
as if they had human Intelligence,
there is a happy medium OF common
sense, and this he has tried to attain.
His observations teach him that, al
though most OF the acts Of insects can
be explained by instinct, there remain
what he calls small plastic judg-
ments, by which they avoid difficult
ties and steer their way between
dangers. The directive faculty OF bees
especially, and their wonderful mem
DRY for places, can hardly be explained
on the theory Of automatcsm.
