Y et tho room iis n o t the same, And we have no heart to play With the checkers, as we did Yesterday. People go by j list tbe samo, .And t h e bells r i n g ev e r y h o u r ; And the great clock tells the time On the corner, from tho tower. And the little children smile In the house across the way. But they m iss the sm ile they met Yesterday. And the street is just the samo, Hurrying footsteps, din and noise; A n d from far away the cry Of ft crowd of “Extra!” boys. H u t w e t u r n to w h e r e a s t a r Shines with tender, loving ray; Ah! the dear stars seem so near, since Yesterday. All the trees stand just tho same, Branches traced against the sky: And the grass is growing green Where tho buried people lie. Lovingly tho mosses creep On tho stones so old and gray. W h y , think! he was walking there, Yesterday. All tho papers in a pile On the table by the door; Just as they have a lw a y s been On the m any days before. On tho top The Tram cript lies; And, ah me! why should it say, A s it dues, “Died suddenly,\ Yesterday? —Eunice Holbrook. LIGHT AND AIRY. S a in t U b iquity. Down where the bread Atlantic spills ItS billows oil the 1 m u -J i ; Up where tbe Adirend.n I.a hold Their sum m its out nf reach; Far from the crowd's ignoble strife, W here sw ell cxclu-ives whirl. To the poorest spot on this green earth Thero booms the summer girl. Gowned in the folds o f fluff wliito stuff, From Europe or Cat bay; Sweet as a rosebud, pink and white, Gowned in a nunlike gray; Dressed in a ten cent gingham lawn, A shoestring binds her curl, A prince may sm ile, or a peasant plead. She’s the same sweet summer girl. Up in the editor’s dim, dark den, W h ere all night long he plods; W h ere the scissors snip, and the pencil blue Knocks out great wordy wads; W here the lightnings flash the freshest news. The presses down stairs whirl. There’s ever a chance for a verse or two On the dear, sweet summer girl. —W . J. Lampton in Detroit Free Press. T h e W a n d e r in g G lobe. I. ,M&mufacaart« III. HOW ITALIANS COOK MAIZE. 321-tf MASCULINE MENTION. Herbert Spencer was tendered, but de clined, a nomination for alderman in London. Count Herbert Bismarck, who is still referred to as a wild young man, is forty- three years old. Senator B r ice w e a r s on h is coat lap e l a boutonniere instead of tlie single flower Which other senators affect. T h e one th i n g th a t m illion a ire George M. Pullman is proudest of is the fact that he was an Argonaut of 1849. W h it e la w R e id is not th e m a n he w a s four years ago. His form is bent and his gait is that of a man well along in tho sixties. W illia m M. D a v e n p o r t, th o u g h blind, ow n s an d operates a TOO-acre farm in Ley den, Mass., and is one of the best judges of liv e s tock in h is county. Prince Krapotkin, the socialist, is a short, thickset man, with long, leonine hair, pushed back off a massive forehead, and has a horror of the interviewer. The Earl of Berkeley, who took liis seat in tho house of peers recently, is the first of his family to set in the lords .since 1810. There had been a dispute over the title. James Richard Cooke, graduated from the Boston Univei’.-ity School of Mtdicine recently, is the first person totally blind from infancy to receive a degree as physi cian. Tho Hon. Andrew D. White is credited with having made a rare collect ion of posters, including incendiary placards put up on the walls of Pai is during the French revolution. Congre-simin David Ilender.-on, of Iowa, is a colonel. lie owns the title legally, and they say that if ever a colonel and liis regiment thought well of each other it was Colonel Dave and his. Richard Gird is probably the largest in dividual grower of sugar beets in the ■world. He has 50,000 acres of ground sur rounding Chino, Cal., and this year will have 4,OUO acres of it in beets. The body of Gambetta is in Nice. His brain is in the museum of the Paris An thropological society. His heart Las just been deposited beneath the monument erected to his memory at Ville d’Avray, where he died. Edward Oliver Wolcott, the Massachu setts man who served as a private in an Ohio regiment in 1S64, and now repre sents Colorado in the United States senate, has taken Oakview, ex-President Cleve land’s old home. Yico President and Mrs. Morton are both regular churchgoers, who, though strict Episcopalians as regards the outward re ligious observances for their family, never discriminate as to sect when it comes to a question of giving. James Rediker, of Fort Fairfield, Me., has been released from lloulton jail after an incarceration of four years for debt. He was able to pay, but wouldn’t, and trans ferred all of his property, worth several thousand dollars, to relatives, saying that he could stand boarding at the jail as long as the county and his creditors could. Jacob Kearns, of West Virginia, ninety years old, recently walked to his daugh ter’s house, seven miles away, and with her examined the family Bible to see if the names of his thirteen children, eighty grandchildren, 127 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-graiidchildnn bad been properly entered upon tbe register. POWDER AND BALL. Ita l ia n P o len t a Is a V e r y S im p le and A p p e t izin g D isli. Simply made Italian polenta consists of Indian meal carefully sifted and slowly stirred into w a te r th a t is already salted and is boiling. Stir constantly, add enough to make the m ixture quite thick, and boil for fifteen minutes. This pudding is served w ith a sauce made of onions, chopped fine and boiled in good olive oil, and tomato sauce is also used by some cooks. The more elaborate form is to make the onion sauce first and add tomato juice or p re served tomatoes to it; then pour the salted, boiling w a te r over the sauce and proceed as in the first receipt. This is served hot w ith grated cheese. Grated cheese and butter are indeed used w ith all forms of polenta. In its most complex form polenta somewhat resembles the Indian pud ding oi Yankee land. It is made by boiling two ounces of meal in three quarts of m ilk slightly salted. The same care is taken to prevent lumps from forming, and when i t is h a lf cooked —say in eight or ten minutes—it is re moved from the fire and mixed thor oughly w ith six yolks of eggs, an ounce of butter, half an ounce of powdered crackers and a pinch of powdered cin namon. W h en thoroughly mixed i t is baked in a buttered dish to a golden brown. _________________ (Tow t o R e m e m b e r Seven P r im a r y C o lors. By the letters in the word “vibgyor,” #r the phrase, “by vigor.” The French war office has provided for the enrollment of between 0,000 and 7,000 bicyclists in war. General Miles is wildly enthusiastic over the use of bicycles in the army, and would almost like to see a troop mounted on the machines for d u t y in the Ind ian country. The British admiralty is contemplating placing a first class scientific library on board each vessel in commission. Naval officers favor the plan, as the books will prove useful to all branches of the service. If all that has been printed in the Eng lish papers about the Royal Sovereign is true, or if one-half of it is to be relied upon, she is the most stupendous fighting machine that the world has ever produced.

English torpedo experts say that too much cautiousness is impressed upon tor pedo boat officers. They should never be taught to be cautious in attack, but should go straight for their object, never thinking Of the safety Of their vessels or L o w th e y a r e to e s c a p e a f t e r t h e b lo w h a s been stru c k . Military stores are now made so far as possible to uniform patterns, and the com ponents are interchangeable, not only in each service, but also where practicable between the various services, so that, for example, a ship might in the event of ne cessity be armed with fortress guns or might fill up her amunition from stores intended for the land service. THE JEWEL CASKET. Crop Bulletin. Salt bottles have a tiny powder puff con cealed in the cover. Silver nets about six inches square and fringed with tiny silver balls are worn by some young women in the hair. The new sleeve buttons are charming. These are buttons and bar, the centers pol ished and surrounded by broken raised edges. Wicker teabaskets containing silver plated teapot, tea caddy and all the ac companiments for tea on a journey are used in England. The newest back combs with metal tops have the centers of lattice work like the intercurving of twisted ropes, with oliv ines, topazes and more precious stones set in the crossings. Next to the bowknot comes the round brooch made u p of narrow curving or geo metrical forms. The knife edges are coated with enamel and sprinkled with small pearls and stones. These are so tiny they do not greatly increase the cost. Sprays of white currants are new brooches for summer wear, and very pretty they are. The currants are perfectly imi tated and the broad leaf is inlaid with chips of diamonds. If of metal, silver is more appropriate than gold for the pure translucence of th e currant. The latest bowknots are of colored en amel, with rows of tiny pearls or small stones on one side, introduced like a stripe. In some instances the stripe is down the center. Loops of these around a common center are another form. Mauve and helio trope are the prevailing tints.—Jewelers’ Circular. C o r n e l l U n i v e r s i t y , 1 I t h a c a , N. Y., July 12, 1892. \ The following information Ins been condensed from the statements of forty- five crop correspondents, rendering re ports for the week ending July 9, 1892: Precipitation; The rainfall for the sta t e d u r in g th e p a s t w e e k w a s m u c h above the normal, b u t was v e r y unevenly distributed. Heavy showers occurred in nearly all sections on the 3d, and in th e n o r t h e r n part o f th e sta t e on th e 8th an d 9th. T h e sto r m o f th e la t t e r d a te was very violent, and was accompanied by hail a n d high w in d . Temperature: During the early part of tbe week the weather was much cooler than u s u a l; b u t the temperature rose to the normal value on the 8th and 9tll. Sunshine: Fair weather prevailed during the week. The weather of the week past has as a whole been very favorable for farm ing interests; although the low tempera ture vhieh prevailed until the 8th retarded the growth of late crops. Tbe heavy showers of the 3d, 8th and 9th were al-o injurious to grains and po tatoes in \the low lands'of the western counties; while in the northern seel ion much damage was sustained by grains, hops and fruits from the high wind and violent hail and rain storm of the 9th. The hot dry weather of the latter part oi’ the week has been very b*-ru fi- cial to grains and potatoes, and has also hardened and m a t e r ia lly Im p r o v e d the condition of grass. Very satisfac tory progress has been made in securing tho large hay crop, and probably at this time two-thirds of the total amount has been secured. On Long Island haying is nearly completed, the rye harvest is well advanced, and wheat is being c u t ; while in portions of the central and northern highlands, har vesting has scarcely been commenced. W h eat is ripening very generally over the central and southern section and a considerable am ount will be cut during the coming week. This crop is reported to be recovering from the heavy rains in portions of the central and great lake region; but the m ajority of observers report some damage to wheat from rust, lodging and other causes. A fair crop of rye is being cut in the eastern section. Corn has made a rapid growth since the 7th, but much is still so backward that only exceptionally favorable weather can fully m ature the crop. Potatoes have made a more rapid advance, and their condition is satisfac tory, excepting on low ground and in sections where the rains of previous weeks have been heaviest. E . A . F u e r t e s , D irector. R. M. H arden g e , U. S. Weather Bureau, A ssLtrnt Director. A W o n d e r in Figures. Some person of a mathematical turn of mind has discovered that the m u lti plication of 987654821 (which you will observe are simply the figures 1 to 9, in clusive, reversed) by 45 give 44,444,444,- 445. Reversing the order of the digits and multiplying 123456789 by 45 we get a result equally as curious, viz., 5,555,- 555,505. If we take 128450789 as the multiplicand and interchanging the fig ures in 45 so as to make them read 54, use the last numbers as the multiplier and the result will be G,GG6,GG6.G0(i. Re turning to the multiplicand 987G54321 and taking 54 as the multiplier again, the result will he 33,333,333,334— all 3s except the first and last figures, which together read 54— the multiplier. Taking the same multiplicand and 27, the half of 54, as the multiplier, the product is 26,666,660,GOT, all Gs except the first and last figures, which together read as 27—the multiplier. Now inter changing the order of the figures, 27, and using 72 instead as a multiplier and 987,654,321 as the multiplicand we get as a product 71,111)111,113, is except the first and last figures, which together read 72. the multiplier. Mathematicians and others who de light to wade around in the realms of the curious are well aware of the fact that there are many wonders to be met with on every hand, but it is doubtful if there is a better illustration of the trite saying, “ Figures will work wonders,” than that given above. A B iblical V iew of Thunder. Now, thunder, all up and down the bible, is the symbol of power. Small wits depreciate the thunder and say, “ It is the lightning that strikes. ” But God evidently thinks the thunder of some importance or he would not make so much of it. That man must be w ith out imagination and without sensitive ness and without religion who can with out emotion see the convention of summer clouds called to order by the falling gavel of the thunderbolt. There is nothing in the natural world that so awes and solemnizes me as the thunder. —Extract from a sermon by Dr. Tal- mage. _________________ L ig h tn in g D o esn’t S trike Indians. In the course of his New Haven, Conn., lecture Rev. Thomas S. Dana, an educated Indian, made a singular state - 1 m e n t: ‘ ‘The Indians never cook anything in the house. They always cook out side, giving as their only reason that if they cook inside the steam will collect in their clothing and draw the lightning. W hether this is truth or not I do not know, but I know this—no Indian wig wam has been struck by lightning since the dawn of history, and no Indian has been killed with lightning for more than 100 years.” —St. Louis Republic.

NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE. There are three interesting literary papers in the July New England Maga zine. One deals with Edward Augustus Freeman, the historian, and is by tlie well-known English essayist, William Clarke. Another treats of “The Social ism of James Russell Lowell” arid is by Edward Grubb of the University of London; and the third is from the pen of W alter Black burn Harte, the Boston critic and story-writer, and is devoted to “ The Antiquity of the Short Story.” ST. NICHOLAS. St. Nicholas Magazine has been get ting suggestions from its readers as to a national song. “ Tbe Star-Spangled Banner” seems to have the strongest e x i s t i n g claim to that h o n o r , b u t one young jjerson, who objects to the words but thinks well of the music, makes the novel proposition to fit the words of “ My Country ’tis of Thee” to the music of “ The Star-Spangled Banner.” The editor of St. Nicholas suggests that she seek some quiet place and try the effect of mixing the two very cautiously. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. Good Housekeeping enters its fifteenth volume with the July number. Among the articles of special merit in this num ber a r t those on “ C arving,” by Frances Spalding; “ A Perfect Treasure,” by Judith Spencer; “ New Designs in Laces,” “Jam s and Jellies,” “ Bags, Useful and Ornamental, ” “ The House hold Laundry, ” “ The Food of the Peo ple,” “ A Supper in the Woods w ith the Children,” and many others, a goodly number of which relate especially to the duties and cetaiis of the household. Clark W. Bryan & Co., publishers, Springfield, Mass. DEFOREST. The article “ How to Sing W ithout a Master, ’ ’ published in Demorest’s Family Magazine for August, gives simple rules for exercising the voice; and any one practicing these rules will soon notice a marked improvement in its quality and strength. “ Flower Missions and Their W o rk” is an interesting and very sug gestive paper, beautifully illustrated. There is a characteristic story by Eila Wheeler Wilcox, “ W hy Frothingale Did Not Marry the Widow,’’ and a humor ous one, “ L etting the Stable,” by Mary Kyle Dallas, besides others, grave and gay, which make this an especially en joyable midsummer number. Every number of this Family Magazine is equally good, and the subscription price is oniy $2 a year, or 20 cents a copy. Published by W. Jennings Demorest, 15 E. 14th-st., New York City. M a i ion H a r lan d ’s Opmion. Readers of the STANDARD Rl’G familiar not only with the sprightly writings of Marion Harland, but also w ith her sound common sense upon matters of every-day life and action. Her name, indeed, is a household word, and is equally well-known in parlor and kitchen. Her celebrated cook book, “ Common Sense in the Household,” is without a peer and shows that she has made a careful study of how to prepare good, wholesome food in tbe best manner by the best materials In this issue we produce a fac-sitnile letter from Marion Harland that speaks from her experience in the highest terms of the unequaled qualities of the Royal Baking Powder. House-wives everywhere should read the opinion of such an expert and act ac cordingly. All good cooks, who have used the Royal, are of the same opinion also. S a tan ’s Sign M anual. A Bates county farmer saw a bolt of lightning strike in the center of one of his fields, and being curious to see the effects of the stroke, visited the spot. He found the subtle fluid had left its mark in the shape of an enormous “ D” of an angry red color, and had no doubt it was the sign manual of tbe arch fiend himself.—Kansas City Journal. A Worthy Charity. “ Harry, my love,” said Mrs. Noopop, when her husband came from the office one afternoon, “I received a lovely letter from papa to-day. ’5 ‘ ‘Ah ! ’ ’ replied Noopop. “ Yes. He congratulates us on the birth of our dear baby.” “ T h a t’s good.” “Yes, and he says that it will cost us more to live now—that babies are ex pensive.” “I suppose that is very true,” the happy father assented. “ And so dear papa has sent us a check for $1,000. W asn’t that good of him ? ” “ I should say it w a s,” exclaimed Noopop enthusiastically. “I ’ll sit right down and thank him for his generous contribution to the Fresh Heir Fund. ’ ’— Life.
