A PERFECT DAY. White roses are swaying, 4nd meekly displaying eir shell fashioned petals So fragile and cold, While bluebirds are fiving Where alders are sighing, The winds on the wavelets The lilies unfold, O'er meadows the brightest Drift clondlets the whitest, Down softest and bluest Of summery skies, The apple tree twinkles, And in the air sprinkles ts blossoms that flutter Like white butterflies, The Sristal brook gushes, The wild flower blushes, Yhe trailing arbutus Is pink on the slope; The valleys a-tremble, That Eden resemble, Are sunny and fragrant With kisses of hope. Oh, hours serenest ; The roslest, greenest, Gold-vestured and gracaful AS SWaDS on a stream!

MARY A. WELCOME, Though as a shade the umbrella is of ! @éeat antiquity, yet it was not, ased as a protection against rain till avons two hundred years ago in France, and later in England. Layard, in hisdiscoveries at ancient Nineveh, fonnd that the nm- brellas carried to shield the king against the sun were similar to those now in vogue in form and were highly orna- mented. It was also a luxury of Greece and Rome. Thomas Coryat, the famous traveler, | who introduced forks from Italy into | England, after describing the fans of | the Italians, says: ‘‘Many of them do carry other fine things of a far greater price, that will cost at least a ducat (5s. | 6d.) which they commonly eall in the | Itahan tongue wumbrellacs; that is | things that minister shadow unto them, ! for shelter against the scorching heat of | the sun. These are made of leather, | something answerable to the form of a | little canopy and hooped in the inside | with divers little wooden hoopes, that | extend the umbrella into a pres large | compasse. They are used especially | by horsemen who carry them in their | hands when they ride, fastening the | end of the handle upon one of their | thighs; and they impart so long a shad- | ow unto them that it keepeth the heate of the sun from the upper part of their | i i bodies. Ben Johnson mentions the umbrella in a comedy of 1616, and in Beaumont { and Fletcher's “Rule a Wife and have a Wife.” | Altea says: i i i { “Are you at ease? Now is your heart at rest? Now you have got a shadow, or umbrella, To keep the scorching. world's opinion From your fair credit.’ Swift, in the Tatler, October, {| mentions the umbrella in “The { Shower." 1710, City i “The tucked up seamstrass walks with hasty strides, While streams run down her oiled umbrella’s sides.” Gay says: “Good housewives all the winter's rage despise, Defended by the riding-hood’s disguise ; Or underneath the umbreila’s olly shed, Safe through the wel on clinking patiens tread. General Wolf, writing from 1752, says: ““1lhe people here use um- brellas in hot weather to defend them from the sun, and something otf the same kind to save them from the i and rain. I wonder a practice so usefu is not introduced in England.” It was about that time that Jonas Hanway, lately returned from Persia, used an nmbrelia in the streets of Lon- don and was hooted at for it. It was considered so effeminate and was so much ridiculed that for a long time no one else would use one. In 1770, one John Macdonald, a foot- man, appeared in publie with a fine silk umbrellas that bie had brought from Spain, and was saluted with the cry of, “Frenchman, why don't you get a conch? Yet there is mention made ot umbrellas being kept at coffee-houses at an earlier period. We read that in the Female Tatler, December 12th, nouncement: ‘The young gentleman | in the fear of rain, borrowed the um- | brella at Weil's Coffee-House, in Corn- i hill, of the mistress, is hereby adver- | tised that to be dry from head to foot {on the like occasion, he shall be wel- { come to the maid's pattens.” By this | it would seem that the custom of bor- | rowing this useful article and not re- | turning it, dates back to its early in- | troduction. | Weread of one Dr. Shebbare, who | for some political diatribe gave offence | to the government, was tried and sen- | tenced to stand one hour in the pillory {and be imprisoned for three years The sheriff, | Beardmore by name, was of the same | political principles and so he bad the | culprit conveyed to the pillory in one { of the state coaches, and a servant in | livery was engaged for a guinea to hold | an nmbrells over the Doctor's bead to { protect him from the rain. i ve | holes made for that purpose, but, un- | confined stood at his ease. | Churchill, an infamous man and | would-be poet, thus refers to the mat. ter: | “Where Is Shebbeare?

It is related by Dr. Cleland that about the year of 1781 or '82, Mr, John Jameson, a surgeon, brought with him from Paris to Glasgow, an umbrella, which attracted universal attention. It was made of heavy mixed cloth with ghizo ribs, and was a very ponderous af- r It is anthoritatively stated that there are more than 7,000,000 umbrellas made every year in the United States alone, and these, if placed in single file, al- lowing three feot space for e would borg ealumn more than 00 miles long. ~ Housekeeper, A OS LL Cut This Out.

As a rule this cmnot be bought, because people are not willing to pay the high price charged by first class caterers, and it really is not very much trouble if one knows how, to make a delicious cream that is worthy of putting on the dinner table. A plate of ordinary ice- cream such as we get at any restaura- teur's is very nice in its way, but is not what one expects from a nice fam- ily table.

From time immemorial the sense of smell bas been the source of great pleasure and satisfaction. The nose, that unappreciated member, warns us from poison and malaria, assists the ap- petite by its keen peréeption of savory odors, and affords us sensations of de- light in the exhalations of sweet-scented flowers and delicate perfumes. The half-starved street gamin in the humorous picture, who stood by the ares railing announcing the various dishes as they were sent steaming to the table wi “Now they're sendin’ up the roast chicking, Jimmie,” snd “Come ‘ere if Jou wants to smell the lam-puddin’,” was g as anal fred pleas go in his way as the fastid- nous epiou.

If any one of these is lacking, the health will soon deteriorate. There will be a lack of s:tality which may be shown in many ways, even before pronounced symptoms of disease ap- pear. These signs are so small at first that they are liable to be unnoticed, ex- except by ar intelligent and vigilant observer: for all there is to attract st- tention is a slight loss of appetite, an indisposition to play, or an inability to sleep as well as nsual. When one of these appears, others soon follow if some remedial measures are not com- menced, because there is such an inti- mate sympathetic connection between all the parts of this most wonderful human machine that one eannot suffer without involving all the others; there- fore we should notice the first dgvia- tion from health before the situation becomes complicated, when diagnosis is easy and cure almost certain. The physician is rarely called in for such cases, and thev sre entireiy neglected or, what is worse, domestic remedies are administered indiscriminately with- out regard to their fitness for the case, and the mother is disappointed when, as many times happens, many other disturbances are added asa result of the medicine; then she loses her confidence and sends for a physician. “The stomach is the most frequently out raged organ, and imptoper food and irregularity in eating, the most frequent causes of sickness in children. much of the depravity not only in them but in their mothers, teachers, and for ill-health and ill-temper “We are too apt to forget that chil- ' with violet. with orris root.
