Some good and many bad.
Some went the way of other books
And some became a fad.

Intent on climbing higher,
But most of them, If set ablaZe,
Would make q dandy fire.

CURES.

CURES.
The silence cure, the kindness cure,
The simple cure of rest;
The fresh air cure, the water cure
With many cures we're blest.
The cheer up cure, don't worry cure
And cures that exercise
A singularly potent sway
And take US by surprise.
The walking cure, the talking cure,
The absent treatment, too.
And many other sorts of cures,
A lot of them quite new.
The hurry cure. the furry cure,
The cure for laziness,
And cures for minds of many kinds,
A thousand, more or less.
The winter cure the summer cure
To suit the seasons pat,
And cures to work in country homes
Or in a city fiat.
We have so many fancy cures
Well never run to seed,
And yet, somehow, the more we have
The more we seem to need.

And I looked and beheld seven car
penters shingling house. They were
hauling up bundles of shingles that
had been lying in the rain for two
days and mailing them on one by one.
In a few days the shingling will be
done. Then the painter will come
along with his ladders and brushes
and stains, and $500 will be spent by
the owner Of the cottage to have it
thoroughly dabbed. And In little
while the sun will shine, and all the
shingles will buckle, some up, some
down, until the cottage will resemble
a frizzled chicken. And there will be
leaks and cursings and lamentations.
Now, brethren, why not be sensible In
these small matters? Painters are not
needed at all In case of this kind.
Keep your shingles dry; buy a few
barrels Of stain; soak the shingles in
the stain and throw them on the grass
to dry; then nail them to the clap
boards. They will never buckle, they
will never leak, and you have saved

There is a general impression that
the humidity Of the air is greater in
the woods than in the open fields.
This Is contradicted, however, by the
result Of observations made in Ger

humidity, both relative and absolute.
was slightly greater in the open than
in the woods, and this was true equal
ly in the morning and In the after
noon. AS to the temperature Of the
air among the trees, it was trifle
higher than in the open in the morn
ing and in a more marked degree in
the afternoon.
