Not sound was heard on the silent street.
AS home from the concert we hurried.
FOR we found not street-car, carriage or 'bus
And we felt considerably worried.
We hailed driver we used to know.
And hurriedly asked the reason;
He said, as he sadly shook his head.
That the horses were ali = sneezin',
And so we silently went our B.v

And shaking as tho 'twere chilly.

And bran mash" warm anc smoking.
She turned her head from the fragrant half
And swallow ed as if she was choking.
We shook down bed of fresh new hay.
With bag of corn for a bolster:
And we gaZed at the saddle overhead
with It's shining stirrups and holster.
We thought. as we looked in the glazing eve.
Fhatsher troubles would soon be over:
Never more would she crop the grass,
Or Craze on the crimson clover.
Slowly we turned from the stable door.

And Wien we VT Mt in the early morn.

The Twins.

From beautiful lake in the mountain
Two rivulets came down.
With rustic and futter like ribbons of blue
By delicate breezes blown.
Ger beds of golden luster,
In the shadow of rock and tree,
They sang the same tune with their silverJ
tongues,
And clapped their hands in glee
Der rocks with moses mantled
They eddied and whirled like a Waiting pair
They MINGLED their misty hair.
Over the self-same lodges.
Singing the self-same tune,
They passed from April to breezy May
Toward the fields of June.
They whirled and danced and dallied,
And through the meadows slid,
I'LL under the same thick grass and flowers
Their future course was hid.
I saw two beautiful children
Ut one fair mother born,
Like two young clouds of golden hue
That smile on the breast of Morn.
The same in age and beauty,
The same in voice and size
The same bright hair upon their heads,
The same blue in their eyes
Singing the same song as ever
In the selt-same silvery tune
They passed from April into May,
Toward the fields of June.
They whirled. and danced. and dallied,
The beautiful wales amid
I'LL under the same thick leaves and flowers
Their future course was hid.

New Wood Carpetipg.

The Scientific American describes a new
wood carpeting which is coming into ex
tensive use, as follows:
"The fabric is made of Stats, or more
ornamental shapes, glued or cemented
upon cloth backing. Tie Stats or
strips OF wood are of different colors,
and are arranged to produce all the eff.
feots of tesselated floors, mosaic work.
ETC., and being about a quarter of an
inch in thickness, they will wear many
years. They are finished in oil, and fit
together so tightly that the joints are as
perfect as those in iniaid work. The
surface thus produced can therefore be
scrubbed, washed and oiled, when need
ed, precisely like other floors, made of
ornamental woods, which they resemble
in all respects when laid.

Death of a Notable Character.

There lately died in Paris a chef de
claque, who had spent his life in leading
the applause in systematic way at one
of the principal theaters of that city.
He left a fortune Of nearly 100000, the
earnings of his strange profession. He
had well-drilled corps of assistants,
who always responded satisfactorily 10
his signals. Besides his regular salary
he received pensions from different
noted actresses and opera singers, in
whose behalf he had done good service.
He had his own words for different
measures of applause, and was very
judicious in varying the quantity. His
cheapest and lightest applause was

"shudders," "double rounds" and Gin

very climax of noisy praise.

DaYY Crockett.

There is to be seen at the rooms of
the Historical Society, Second avenue,
corner of Eleventh street. an original
portrait of exceptional interest, a like

Crockett, of Kentucky, painted by A.
L. DeRooe, and subsequently engraved
by A. B. Durand. 1t is in water color.
but is done with wonderful boldness
and spirit, and is one of those pictures
in which the beholder feels sure he sees
the faithful image of the person rep
resented. This is Davy Crockett. be-
yond all peradventure every lineament
is his, the whole man is before us. and
for its accuracy of portraiture we do
not need the autograph Authorization
of it which the cartoon bears
I leave this rule for others when am dead
Be always sure you're right then GO ahead
But undoubtedly the famous distich
and apothegm of Crockett in his own
handwriting gives a great additional
value to this powerful presentment of
the man, and for genuine American
interest we know of no other picture
extant which Is of greater value than
this. The thought interposes, however.
that it is not in its right place in tho
New York Historical Society, hospitahh
as Mr.. Moore certainly is, and honorable
custody as he gives to the many treas-
ures of the Historical Society building.
The work. indeed, does not belonf to
the society, and is only left in the rooms
temporarily. The proper owner o. this
picture Is the State of Kentucky and
the place where it should be ke,t is in
the Capitol at Frankfort. Keltucky
has very ardent State pride Isle took
it naturally from her mother Nrginia),
and does herself credit in honoring her
distinguished sons, and Kentucky never
had a son more distinctly American,
of more original type Of character,
than Dayy Crockett. He WIS rough
hewn specimen but he was fearless,
honest, warm hearted, clea-headed, who
acted on his motto and adhered to prin-
ciple, while he CONDEMNED the exactions
of etiquette. The only iarm he did in
life was to grammar, but he respected

Stea1ming Food

If all ladies knew the superiority of
steaming many articles of food over
boiling them they would be better sup

pose. Cooking can be done much
quicker, and with less fuel by steam

are tar superior when steamed to boiled
ones, which are apt to be heavy and
water soaked. Steam till done, then set
in the oven few minutes to dry the

and for cooking fruits, particularly
