Will open for business May 22nd at 4 p.m. --T A lesson from the Mabj. ' Man, as he comes into the world, pre- - sents a condition it would be well for him to follow in all his after life. The sweetest minstrel ever sent out of para-- dise cannot sing a newborn child to sleep on an empty stomach. We have ' known reckless nurses to give the little j ones a dose of paregoric or soothing syrup in place of its cup of milk, when it was too much trouble lo get the latter, but this is the one alternative. The little stomach of the sleeping child, as it becomes gradually empty, folds on it- - self in plaits; two of these make it rest- - less; three will open itseyes, but bv care-ful soothing these may be closed "again; four plaits and the charm is brokeu; there is no move sleep in that household until that child has been fed. It seems to us so strange that with this example before their eyes full grown men nre so slow to learn the lesson. American An-alyst. The Mterary Standard in America. ' We say in all seriousness, that in this new country, drunk with prosperity and besotted as it is with material ideals, the literary standard is as high as ever it was in the world; and that the literary per-formance is of an excellence which is only not conspicuous because it is so general. If any one doubts it, let him compare on average piece of fiction in The Atlantic Monthly, or The Century, or Scribner's, or Harper's with an aver-age piece of fiction in Blackwood's or Frazer's, ot Tinsely's of fifty years ago; or an average essay in one of our period-icals with an average essay of the best English time; or an averago poem of our day with an average poem of the "splendid and unsurpassed literature of the past;" or an average review in the Sunday papers with the "really capable criticism" of the heyday of English re-viewing. W. D. Howells in Harper's. Murk Twain Not n I.atlies' Mnn. On one occasion Clemens was standing against a lamp post and holding a cigar box under his arm. Mrs. Capt.

"I'm drawled Mark, at the same time opening the cigar box, disclosing a pair of blue socks, a pipe and two paper col-lars. Ho had never cared for the ladies, was, in fact, a fish out of water when he hap-pened to be near them. While employed on the daily Alta, having secured em-ployment there after leaving The Call, he called at a dressmaker's establishment and for ten minutes addressed a wax fig-ure of a lady before discovering his mis-take. Boston Transcript. About Colli and Hot Air. A good many people are afraid of cold air, especially at night, shutting them-selves in close bedrooms, where their systems are poisoned and their constitu-tions gradually undermined by breathing the bad air. And even hot or warm air that is pure, air in a room that lias venti-lation as well as heat, is debilitating where breathed all night. Pulmonary complaints are inevitably and exclusive-ly caused by foul indoor uir. and cured by pure, especially by cold, pure, outdoor air. The remedial influence of frcsli air is so much increased by a low tempera ture that "colds" are. in fact, far more curable in midwinter than in uiidsum-mer.-Hera-of Health. A Recent Ulscoverr About Light. Recently a wonderful discovery has beeu made. A beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism, so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum, or rainbow. The disc m turned, and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. Now, place the car to n vessel containing silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be -- ivenibv different parts of the spectrum, and there will be silence in other parts. -- American Art Journal. Him Carl Scliurz Look.
