From my window, tantalizing, With their balf-veilod charms divino, I can spo tho mountains rising Ou the dim horizon line, Clad in robes of summer splendor. Crowned with sunshine's livlns gold, They awake heart memories tender Of the treasured days of old. For I am no ehild of bondage, I was horn to love the sun. Since that sweet un 'ouseious fond ago When I watched the waters run. Heard the bird notes in tlie wildwood, Whi-ro the laughing enseades leap, In the formulant days of childhood, Ere my heart had learned to weep! Through each glen and glado I rambled, And hi-ueath the slut lowy peak. With the pr.itlinirei'hoes gambolled liv the Id uo bell bordered creek ; Untiled my brow in shining fountains Mirroring th- ar thing blue, While the free winds of the mountains Ueutly sipped the fragrant dew. From my window all their beauties ltise before me far away ; Slid it is that life's dull duties K"'ep my bounding heart at bay Fit the summer days are dreary Cooped in MifToiMtiug halls. And my spirit grows aweary I'f tli- iTiimp of city walls! -M. M. I-'uls.-oi in Atlanta ( 'institution. AN AWAKENING. J)V KMMA A. OITEH. "It seems as though she'd never been waked ui," tin.' lnuro observant of lovely Dora Ouylord's acquaintances said of her. "It seems as though she needed to 1)0 roused, somehow."

Dora wnsniakingnn effort this lovely summer morning to shake tiff that apathy which the observant had noted in lor. She felt her ingratitude. Here she was, gay in her prettiest gown, sitting in impressive pom) in IVlhnni Oibhs' stylish road-cart, with n bunch of roses present. id by Pelh.ini Oibhs, driving with Pelh-im Gibbs to the line old eoiiutry-soiit, beautifully situated, which In I been pla-o.l at the disposal of it select party of young people for picnic purposed And yet they lm 1 two miles forth -r to drive, anil she wished they hadn't. "Do yon know," Mr. Gibbs was say ing he drawled Homewli it "I am thinking of getting auother horse, you know? A flyer. The three I've gotare hll beastly slow." His pale eyes looked expectant. "Yes," said Dora. "Yes. F.r unless I fake u notion fo run ovt-r t Europe again this fall. I am thinking of it." He stared at her with r.u intentness unpleasant to her. "I don't en re about going over there alone, you know. R :iliy 1 don't, Miss Gnylord. Er" But at that point Dorn, edging away from him with n faint shudder, changed the subject, as she always did when his observations took that tone. They were the last comers nt Bay Vitw. Young men were lolling on the smooth, green luwu beside the laugh ing girls, whoso gaily-tinted parasols they hel l. Dora liaylord and Pelham Gibbs strolled nelo.-H the velvety grass, while ii waiting servant eared for the horse. "Hello !" Tom Kenny hailed them. F eouldn't get a girl, ho I fetched a fellow along. Miss Gaylord, please let me introduce Mr. Dexter." "Mr. iVxtcr?" lora said, in n gasp, (iilbert Dexter!" Gilbert Dexter looked u little pale, which umii-v'd Tom Kenny, (iilbert be ing six fe -t high, an 1 rath -r heavily built. He grasped Dora's hand closely. She turned ever so little toward her escort. "Mr. Dexter and I are the oldest fi iends" she avowed. "He was in May ilk-the summer iiiiiiiiina and I were there. Could ymi bring m my jack et, Mr. Gibbs? It's so cool." When h? hid gone, ond Tom Kenny with him, they looked nt caeh other squarely; she smiling none too stead ily, he grave. "If I've thought of you once," she confessed, "'I've thought of you a thousml time-. Do you remem ber" 'Everything," he an wercd. "I remember more than you. Miss Guy lord." "You do U t," she respntided, warm ly. "Not a thing h is t scaped me. The thi- woods back of the house, where wo used to get bu-du Is uf flower-, and ymi got poisoned with ivy " "And you came to grief swinging on a wild grape-viue," said Mr. Dex ter. "And the croquet ground at the Hobsom ', where you beat me ten out of eleven games usually." "And tho checker-board at your bonrding-house, where you generally beat me." "Oh, yon let me! Do you remem ber the Slacks' goat, that was bound ami determined to annihilate you on eight?" "Perfectly." "And" she fell into soft laughter "the wart on Mr. Delnfleld's nose, and Miss Powell's, greeti poplin, with the white lneo trimmings? Oh, dear!" "Yes. Yon are recalling tho most important features of our acquain tance, Miss Gay lord," said Gilbert Dexter, frowninj slightly above his smile. She laughed. "Did you ever got over your indi gestion?" she demanded. "From my friod-steak-nnd-pie-for -breakfast diet? Oh, Yes!" "Yon needn't hae boarded with your tenth cousin, then, just because they were poor and needed the mo ney," said Dora. Hut her soft eyes were full of a ten der sort of admiration. "Pshaw! 1 lovo pie fo' breakfast," the young man rejoined. They were so much absorbed in each other as to be undisturbed when Mr. Gibbs brought Dora's jacket, stared nt them sulkily for two minutes and stalked away. "And and you hnve done, well, 1 hope?" she said. "Mamma used to say you would make your mark. You got that bridge successfully finished, didn't you?" "Oh, yes! And it was that job that brings me here. Borne of the Royal ton eity fathers saw it and liked it, and appointed me to engineer the Royaltou Shipley bridge." "You?" Dora cried, delightedly. "A great undertaking like that? How clever you must be!" He flushed with pleasure. "Anl you will you'll be here in Koyalton, then?" she faltered. "Yes ' he told her, clearing Iiih throat rather painfully. "I had not forgotten, Miss Gaylord, that yoa lived in Koyalton, but hardly hoped to meet you." I'elhiim Gibbs was eyeing mem sullenly from a distance. His expres sion, never bl ight or highly pleasing, was distinctly disagreeable now. "And called you Gil," she an swered, faintly, her happy eyes intent on tha whits ghost of a daudelion at her feet. It might have been five minutes In ter, or it might have been fifty they did not know when Felham Gibbs o une striding up to them. Tom K.-iriy had sruntered their way, too. "Is lunch ready? I haven't meant to neglect you, Mr. Gibbs I haven't, truly!" Dora said, with the gentle ness of reul contrition. And she would have taken his arm to go to the tables spread with white nniid the greenery. Hut Mr. Gibbs drew kick. Auger is unbecoming to a small nature, and Felham Gibbs was not at that moment an impressive sight. "Ah," he said, his drawl vividly in tensified, "don't think I caught your mime, but I believe you're a workman on the new bridge eh? Got a job there, haven't you? Ah, yes! " And his mighty attempt at a sarcas tic insult having been successfully ac complished, le; stared rudely at his victim before he spoke again. Dora had forgotten him ! The lawn sloped down to the spark ling blue stretch of the bay, and thither she strolled with (iilbert Dexter, look ing up at him with half indignant eyes. "Why shouldn't you Iih t hoped to meet me?" she demanded. "Whatever I may become," lie nn wired, slowly "whatever I hope to become, I wasn't very well off when you knew- me ; and 1 wasn't very sure how , at home here nmongyonr friends, yi'U would " "Pshaw?" cried Dora, with such stress of warm reinonst ranee ths.t her cheeks grew hot the next moment. "It was four years ago," she murmured, to change the topic. "I was only seventeen. " "But I was twenty-two," he an swered, firmly, his clear eyes search ing her swett face. "I was old enough to know thot I hail never felt toward a girl as I ft It toward you never! I win in no condition to speak a word to you on that subject, and I did not. Hut perhaps perhaps it is n little different now. Miss Gaylord Dolly. Don't you remember that the whole town called you Dolly?" ''I'm thinking of going home, yuii know, Mins G.iylord," he said, deliber ately, "rtith your permission. And seeing you like this fellah's society bet ter than mine, majbe you'll let hiiu take you back ? I'm going now, you know." And ho turned 'iis stare of silly spite ii pou her. "You have my permission," she enid, in calm tones, looking at him as sin. might havo looked at an nnnining spider till he took himself away. "In the name of Royaltou and all Banks County, I apologize, Dexter!'' said Tom Kenny, standing aghast. "I have my opinion of that cad, but 1 didn't think he was equal to tint. You are well rid of him, Miss Gey lord!" "Yes," Dora said. And she looked up at Gilbert Dexter, and drew a fluttering, long breath. All her meaning Tom Kenny did not know, but Gilbert Dexter did. Pelham Gibbs went to Europe tin very next week, and before ho came buck, the engagement of Dora Guy lord to the clever young man who was milking a name for himself in connec tion with the Koyalton bridge, mid who was a prime social favorite, v,ns the talk of Koynlton's upper ten. "She is waked up now," said the observant, finilingly. "The right man has found her, and she is wide nwnke. The dearest girl and the nicest fel low !" Snturdav Night. ('hewing tiiuiu The origin of chewing gum may be traced indirectly back to the time when contenders in manly sports in the am phitheaters kept their mouths from parching by chewing the leaves of plants which were capable of produc ing nu increased flow of saliva ; but the modern chewing gum, with nil its alleged benetit:i and its various flavors is strictly it product of the present ag gressive age. The medicinal value of chewing gum of any kind nuiy well be expected to be slight. Aside from its employment in some cases as a sialogogim, or saliva producer, it is likely to become posi tively harmful if persistently used. We may perhaps excuse its iim by public speakers ami singers, and by nil whose throats are exposed to the irri tation of constant use, as by means of it the throat may be kept moist and free from irritation ; but even then it is doubtful whether other method.-, would not prove quite as efficacious without being so harmful to the di gestive system. It is easy to explain why the diires tivc system is liable to suffer from the persistent use of chewing-gum. One of the chief functions of the saliva is to stimulate by its presence in the stomach an increased flow of gastric juices. But the increased flow of saliva induced by constant chewing is generally thrown into an empty stomach. This explains the gnawing that the persons unaccustomed to the use of gum experience after chewing it for a while. There is no food for the gastric juices to work upon, and an iir tifiuial appetite is set up. This fact might be turned to account in some cases of indigestion, if it were not for the supplementary fact that the saliva which comes from prolonged stimulation is always inferior in quali ty in direct proportion to its increased amount. And not only is this superfi cial saliva weakened in its puwrr of stimulating the gastric juices, but an other important function, that of ebunging starches to sii;nr, is corre spondingly interfered with. Then again, we must not forget the frothy condition of saliva produced by the ehowitiK of gum, or fail to appre ciate tin1 uncomfortable nnd ewn harmful results of forcing such quan tities of air into the stomach.-- Youth's Companion. M(isi(iiilo Nets in the Army, "Speaking of mos.piitos, "s iid the man on the veranda, ' there were issued to some of the troops in certain parts of the South in the course of the civil war in this country, from lSi.l to I.'Hm, mos quito nets, which might be called iu dividuul nets, for they were one to a person. These nets, when set in po sition, were about six feet long, three feet high, nnd three feet wide. Tapes ran along the top edge and extended in loose ends at tie1 four corners. When the net was set up for use tie-so corner tapes were tied uroitud four sticks, little corner posts, I'riven into the ground. It might to some semn amusing, the idea of issuing mosquito nets to troops engaged in actual ser vice; they might think that men in constant danger of being bitten by can non balls and built ts would huve lit tle fear of liiosquitos ; but this would bo merely the superficial view of per sons not fully acquainted with the mosquito.

The stings of bees are formidable weapons. When they are hungry no body can handle them, but they are never cross when swarming, because on such occasions every one of them 1 has filled herself with linn-y as n pro vision for the contemplated journey to another home. Accordingly at sneli times they can bo dealt with bare handed. There is an instance on rec ord of a small boy's hiving n swarm of bees by securing the whole bunch in his pniitaloons anil running home w ith them. If a disposition to be good-natured after a hearty meal had not been given to these insects, the- could never have been domesticated, und the sup ply of honey would still be obtained from clefts of rocks and hollows of trees. There is everything in knowing how to ileal with bees. Those who are alarmed if a beo enters tho house or approaches them in the fields lire igno rant of the fact that no bee ever vol unteers nu attack when at a distance from her hive. The mules called drones, are stingless. All the feats performed by the cele brated Wildman raiiv be safelv imitat ed by anybody who understands bees. I He did what he pleased with them np- pareutlr, causing swnrnu of them to obey his orders and even to hang in I festoons from his chin. Wildman managed nil this by simply knowing the instinct which bees have to lollow their queen, iney tlo mis always, because tho perpetuation of their species depends on the eggs which she lays for the colony. He hid the queen in his beard, thus causing the swarm to gather there, and like- ' wise made them do whati v.'r lse he wished, meanwhile giving words of command which were merely intended j to deceive the spectator. I The sting of a bee is composed of ! two spears of polished horn held in a 1 sheath. One gets a notion of the sharpness of the weapon by a very j simple comparison. The edge of u i very keen razor, when examined under 1 n good luicroscopo nppeurs as broad ns the back of a thick knife, rough, un- even, and full of notches. An ex ceedingly small nnd delicate needle similarly scrutinized resembles a rough bur from a smith's forge. The stiug of a bee, viewed through the same instrument, shows a flawless pol- ' ish, without the least blemish or iue j quality, ending in a point too line to I be discerned. In the oet of stinging I the spears, each of which has nine j barbs, and is grooved with a channel I for the passage of tho poison, emerge from tho sheath. One of them is ! plunged into tho flesh of the victim. I the other following, ami ulteniately they penetrate, deeper nnd deeper. : The venom is forced to the ends of the spears by much the simi" process I as that which carries the poi-ou from i tho tooth of a snake when it bites, j Ou one historical occasion a "i-rnnl! pirate vessel, hnviug ou board some I bees in earthenware hives which had been captured on an island in the Med iterranean, was pursued by a Turkish pulley. The corsair being finally over taken her men climbed the mast, from which they threw down the hives upon the deck when the galley "screw board rd the vessel. The hives broke into fragments and tho bees attacked the assailants with such vigor that the lat ter retreated and permitted the pi rates to take their omii galley almost without le-ustane-'. It is related that Aiiiurat, Sultan of Turkey, when be Mcging Alba, found a breach in the walls defended by s arms of bees. HiH Janissaries, the brat est militia of the Ottoman empire, refuse I to clear the obstacle. To suck a wound made by a bee is not ndvisable. Where. is the most deadly sunke-poison is harmless when taken internally, that of the bee is qeite otherwise, sometimes causing se vere headaches and other distressing symptoms. The barbs with whicu the spears are armed pn vent them being withdrawn after stinging, and Mistress Bee is usually obliged to fly away, 1 leaving behind her sting, altogether, !ith a portion of her intestines at , tached to it. In such a case she dies. ! Wasps and hornets, on the other hand, j can sting repeatedly without endanger ! ing their lives. The sting of a bee ! with poison sack attached is capable j of stinging for days after it has been ' removed or torn from tho bodv of the i insect. Persons have been badly stung in the mouth by stings of bees in ' broken houevconibs which have buried ! bees by fulling upon them. Old bee- keepers do not njifld the poison, having been inoculated like Mithridutes of old. Beginners are sometimes advised to , allow themselves to be frequently i stung, in order that they may become j proof ngainst the toxic action of the venom. Medicinal Value of Peaches. . A dish of peaches is better than a dose of medicine. Th- re seems to be n difference of opinion as to whether or not the fu.z mi the skin is injuri ous, but the doctors agree that ripe peaches rank with the best of summer foods. Seed fruits, particularly figs, straw berries, blackberries and cran berries aid digestion ; grapes, grape fruit, limes nnd oranges are prime aperients; apples, .lutes, melons, peele.l, ripens w illiin in- nower oi me cherries and plums are nourishing and pleasure that concealed it. refreshing, but peaches are a tonic, an j Pleasure must first have the war aperient, a fond and a drink combin- rant that it is without sin; then fin ed ; or, to put it briefly, they are meat measure that it is without excess, and medicine.
