THE SOUTHERN SUMMER. It Is Claimed That While Long It Is Not ‘ Oppressive. Wrong impressions are hard.to eradicate from the human mind. In the north and west it is a popular delusion that southern summers are extremely hot and oppressive, and that life here during thg ‘summer months is almost unbearable. This impression is formed upon no knowledge of the matter, but simply upon the assumption that, as we are nearer the equator, it must necessarily be much warmer than in more northern latitudes. An investigation of the records of the government weather bureau will show that there is 1o ground for such an assumption. Our summers are long, but they are not unpleasant. The heat in the north and west is much more oppressive during June, July and August than in the south. Deaths from sunstroke are much more numerous there, and the heat is decidedly more sultry. Our long evenings are delightful, and a sultry night is seldom experienced. Our laborers work in the fields all day long, and suffer less from the warmth than those of the north. e b

In a nutshell, our snmmers compare favorably with those of any section of the country, and our long, pleasant, warm season is a decided advantage. Our farmers can commence t 6 work the land long before their northern and western brothers think of beginning, and can continue to utilize it months after they haye stopped. In the towns and cities the residents are exempted from heavy expenditures for warm winter clothing, and for the larger portion of the year the only fuel burned is for cooking purposes. In comparison with the north and west, it is doubtful if our long, pleasant summer is notas far superior to their short, blistering one as our short, ‘mild winters are to their long, frigid ones.—Montgomery (Ala.)

Lawyers Who Make Their Own Wills, Many celebrated men have neglected to settle their affairs. Ben Jonson, Dryden and Sir Isaac Newton all died intestate, Bacon insolvent,’and the epigram on Butler’s monument in the abbey sufficiently explains why he and many others like him never made a will: . The poet’s fate is here in emblem shown : He asks for bread and he receives a stone. ‘‘Wills,’’ said Lord Coke, ‘‘and the construction of them do more perplex a man than any other, and to make a certain construction of them exceedeth jurisprudentium artem.’’ An old proverb says that every man is either a fool or a physician at 40. Sir H. Halford happening one day to quote the saying to a circle of friends, Canning humorously inquired, ‘‘Sir Henry, mayn’t he be both?’’ At any rate experience teaches that lawyers who draw their own wills sometimes make great mistakes. Sir Samuel Romilly’s will was improperly worded, Chief Baron Thompson's will became the subject of chancery proceedings, while the will of Bradley, the eminent conveyancer, was actually set aside by Lord Thurlow.—Temple Bar. - ‘His Great Anxiety. : Athlete—Did—l—break—it, doctor? Doctor—l will be plain, sir. The arm is broken, the collar bone crushed, the skull is fractured— Athlete—No, no, no! The—did—l—break—the— : “What. my son?”! ‘“Record !"’—Cleveland Plain Dealer. - There are 17 different branches of Methodism in this country, each having a distinctive name, its own church property, its own organization, its own places of worship and its own body of membership. b .
