Their Fortunate Escape.

They had walked half way through
the park at smart pace, and she now
sank on shaded bench. He seated
himself beside her. They were entirely
alone save for an old man at one end
Of their seat immersed In book. TheiI
agitated conversation continued.
"Oh, 1t is too DREADFUL she shud
dered, covering her face with her hands
as II to shut out some unbearable sight
Fearful he agreed, deeply moved
and hopping the profuse Precipitation
from his brow.

happiness. perhaps even life ITSELF
"Hushw he interrupted. LET us

end of the bench. his watery eyes dis
tended in lively apprehension. HAS

youth answered:

Dew.

Dew is invisible rain. 1t does not
come from the clouds, but from the
air near the ground. When the sun
ceases to warm the earth in the
evening, the latter cools rapidly.
This cOndenses the moisture that is
in the air in the form of invisible
vapor, when it falls because of its
weight, just as rain does. When the
wind blows all night, there is no
dew. The air next to the earth cam
not cool because it is constantly
moving and other air taking its
place. This is why still nights are
the coolest. A very light breeze will
suffice to prevent dew from forming.
During a drought there is less
dew for the same reason that there
is less rain-because there is less
moisture in the air. Warm air usu-
ally contains more moisture than
cold air, which is why there is more
rain in the summer than winter.
Snow is frozen vapor, and frost is
frozen dew.

humanity it is to be hoped that this
grimly humorous story from Mem

exceptional case of callousness:
A Yorkshire doctor was sum-
moned to a man whose case he could
only pronounce not hopeless. He
gave instructions as to the medi-
cines that would at least give relief
and said that he would observe the
result on his next visit. The wife
of the sick man inquired, quite prop
erly, about what the charge would
be and if it included the medicine

RIFLE BoREs.
We email Better Than the Big For
All Round Purposes.

All Hoono purposes.
The old dispute between big bores
and small bores is meaningless now
because the most killing guns are
the high velocity nitro guns, which
pre- all small bore compared with the
black powder guns. The best all
round rife is now the thirty ealiber
nitro, not because it will do all that
is claimed for it, but because it
makes so much hatter a line to ev-
erything within reasonable distance
than any black powder gun can do.
The ball goes too much to pieces on
some shots, and all that / have tried
throw 10 per cent Of balls wild-5
slightly wild and 8 badly so. But
the swiftness of the ball oyerbal-
ances the other defects. An all
round rifle is almost impossible, and
some sacrifice must be made. Sacri-
fee for fat trajectory is not always
q sacrifice of accuracy, but often one
in favor Of it. Between Is and 200
yards, the place where most shots on
open ground fall, no black powder
gun small enough to be carried with
comfort can make up in accuracy
what it loses in curve of trajectory
as compared with the thirty caliber
nitro rife. l refer to the high We
locity shell and not the smokeless
cartridges of the same strength as
black powder The soft nosed bullet
driven with the high power nitro is
the most killing form in which a
ball Of equal diameter can be made
for all round work. Those of copper
or steel do not make a large enough
hole for most shots on the softer
parts of the body.-Outing.

From the proceedings Of the

that if it would control in any ap-

PRESERVING TIME

Said Mr.. Baldwin Apple
To Mrs. Bartlett Pear:

And also very fair.
"And there's Mrs. Clingstone Peach,
So mellowed by the heat,
Upon my word she really looks
Quite good enought to eat.
"And all the Misses Crabapple
Have blushed so rosy red
That very soon the farmers wife
To pluck them will be led.
"Just see the Isabellas!
They're growing so apace
That they really are beginning
To get purple in the face.

"Our day is almost DER,
And soon we shall be smothering
In syrup by the score"
And before the month was ended
The fruits that looked so fair
Had vanished from among the leaves,
And the trees we're stripped and bare.
They were all of them in pickle,
Or in some dreadful scrape.
Pm cider sighed the apple;
'pm jelly" cried the grape.
They were all in jars and bottles
Upon the shelf arrayed,
And in their midst poor Mrs. Ounce
Was turned to marmaIade.

WHY NOT BE HAPPY

AS we tread the path OF life are We
happy? II not, why not?
OF course We are not all blest with the
concentrated spot where brilliant lights,
gorgeous tapestry and plnshy carpets,
which may be classed as home, await our
coming. We can be minus these things
and yet be happy.
One step toward the goal of happiness
is that We should see that our intellect is
we'll governed. If our intellect should
see that temptation is never allowed to be
present and should seek those things and
places that appeal to the morals, will we
not ascend the first round of the ladder
of happiness?
| can't see why We should not be happy
if we do not hold just as nice position
as our neighbors. Our duties may be
plain or our place insignificant and our
salary small, but do we not expect to ia
miliarize ourselves with whatever bust.
ness We may be engaged in? And surely
as we become more intelligent in regard
to it we are advanced to more responsible
places. But still we can't be happy for
look, all of our friends are at the sea-
shore and we are compelled to remain at
home during the sultry month in order
to obtain a livelihood. Well, shall we
not class this as poor management Why
not save the parts that we use for unnec-
cessary dress and pleasure and then We
would enjoy ourselves as our friends and
be happy. We must surely learn to make
our expenditures proportionate to our
income, in order to say with him who
said, I am happy.
