THE EARTH.

The air feels chill in the winter winds shrill,
Though past the weeks and the days
When the sun has feeble rays,

More light comes north, and shades grow nill,

As the sun climbs up to shine over the hill
Where it winks and it blinks and it boils to its fill,
Its rays painting bright a cloud from the night
While it never seems old though freckled on gold

Its light coming warm on a world that is cold,
Till far to the north the bergs loose their hold;
Where the ice and the snow the Klondike enfold,

Then the air grows cold where Good Hope grows old,

While the sun stays north the flat lands to behold,

The snowflakes cease falling through the window lights glow, The dreary grows cheerful when the warm sun comes

On the broad flat lands and the tall mountain domes.

KINDNESS.

ANY physical infirmities can be relieved by increasing the amount of oxygen consumed

in the lungs, this can be done by long full breathing maintained continuously for an hour or so. This might be considered not much of a kindness information; if not properly tried, or if the information was not needed.

The taking of medicine should cease as soon as the desired relief is attained, because of the liability of the remedy to cause a breakdown elsewhere from the place of the disorder.

Successful business conditions require abundant employment to supply labor with money to circulate. The following describes a method of employment to take the place of coal combustion.

Railroad freight cars can be propelled by manual labor located on the car by means of one, or two levers and a link, for each lever, the lever having a point of support, the link being moved along a row of cogs attached to the railroad track and held adjacent to said continuous row of cogs, and interlocking movements permitted by means of elastic metalic steel wire springs variously arranged, being either at one side of the lever, or around it, or in both positions, being secured to the lever by means of variously constructed projections from such lever, the link being held to the lever

and movement of such link permitted by means of openings in said link, bolts, bolt heads, plates, etc.

On passenger cars the same described leverage or a better leverage construction having the link bolted at the outer end thereof to the outer side surface of a car-wheel between the center and the perimeter of such wheel. Leverage power could also be applied to a crank in the axle, as on hand cars. This being mechanical construction in the interest of the employment of human, labor, and possibly the production of sufficient RAPIDITY for local travel.

When the income can not be made sufficient to meet the family expense a return to "the simple life" of three or four generations ago may be accomplished by the purchase and use (when they are manufactured and sold) of cheap household weaving machines, and to make this idea more complete there should be on sale a cheap hand power flour mill for grain and bolting facilities to sift out the chaff; having these conveniences where there are limited opportunities for employment the family can to a considerable extent become self sustaining.

There are some reasons for thinking that MONEY kindness between individuals outside the family circle is somewhat rare, this is not intentionally so as a permanent condition.

JUNE.

When may blossoms fade 'tis June time soon June time, with many sunshine hours

The month of tree growth, and rose flowers.
Soft the light shines through the bowers
Kitsed by the first bright rays of day.

Far away across the meadows
Clumps of bushes, fence, and houses
Over the woods, and shining waters
Lighting up the mountain gorges
Comes the sunshine of June day.

Month of summer and of fruit time
Child of spring and winter seer
May your days be not oppressive
When the summer is young again,
And the robin songs are sung.
