His Lodge.

IT got so, at last, that his wife began to
wonder what business -" the LODGE had on
hand that it should meet four or five times
per week. He was out four nights week
until eleven O'Clock, and he came home
with redness in his eyes and his step was
unsteady as he passed down the hall He
hard on the muscles, and that candidates
were coming i'll by the hundreds. One
night he groaned out in his sleep and
talked of - the right bower" and yelled
out "spadesl'' and the wife wondered
still more. The other evening she took
position where she could see who went
upstairs into the lodge-rooms. Her
husband passed Sy and entered place
where rows of bottles adorn the shelves,
and coffee and spice stand in saucer on
the counter to purify the breath. When
she went in he was one of four at a table.
Each one of the four was looking at the
pictures on some cards held in his hand
- So this is the lodge, is it," she in
quired, as she stood before him.
He was caught, and he resolved to make
clean breast of it. He laid his cards
down, rose up and gave her his arm, and
said:
= 1 won't lie to you, Mary. This is not
Il minute, to beat the blasted enemies of
our craft out of their surplus greenbacks!
When come home tonight, Mary, I'll
bring that shawl you spoke OFF,
The regularity with which that man now
hangs around home every evening in the
week is neutrality-suspicious. Free Press.

4 Glimpse OF Gen. Washington.

One other scene may properly be added
to this brief record Of the struggles and
triumphs of old New York. There came
sunshiny day in April, 1883, when
George Washington, President-elect OF the
United States by the unanimous voice
of the people, stood on a balcony in
front of the Senate Chamber in the old
Federal Hall on Wall street, to take the
oath of office. An immense multitude
filled the streets, and the windows and
roofs of the adjoining houses. Clad in
suit of dark brown cloth of American
manufacture, with hair powdered and
with white silk stockings, silver shoe
buckles and steel-hilted dress -sword, the
hero who had led the colonies to their in
dependence came modcstly forward TO
take up the burdens that peace had brought.
Profound silence fell upon the multitude
as Washington responded solemnly to the
reading of the oath of office: 81 swear
so help me God" Then, amid cheers,
the display of flags and the ringing of
all the bells in the city, our first Presi-
dent turned to face the duties his country
men had imposed upon him. In sight of
those who would have made an idol of
him, Washlngton's first act was to seek
the aid of other strength than his own. In
the calm sunshine of that April afternoon.
fragrant with the presence of seed-time
and the promise of harvest, We leave him
on his knees in Old st. Paul's, bowed
with the simplicity of . child at the feet

How to Hang Pictures.

No picture ought to be higher than the
height of tho average human eye when the
owner of the eye is standing. 1t is the al
most universal rule in our houses to hang
pictures much above this level, and they
cannot be enjoyed there. If the picture is a
portrait or if il have human faces in it,
its eyes should look as nearly into ours as
possible; and if there be no such simple
guide, perhaps . good rule will be to have
the line that divides the picture horizon
tally into equal parts level with the eye.
If one starts in hanging pictures with the
determination to place them so that they
can be easily seen and enjoyed without
stretching the neck the least, or STOPPING
the body, he will be pretty sure to do
we'll. In remote farm houses and country
taverns we often see pictures, particularly
portraits, skyed as high as if their owners
had been Academy Hangers, and the
painters young rivals of q new school. /
suppose the reason is that the simple
hearted owners think picture such a
precious thing. it can't be hung too Sc
curely out of the reach of meddling hands.
They are often not clear in their minds as
to what q picture is meant for, and not
finding in it any practical relation to
human life and society, they treat it with
reverence and put it where it will disturb
them as little as possible. But, as people
come to enjoy pictures and get some in
tellectual, spiritual nourishment out of
them, they want them, as they want their
books, where they can see them and use
them.-Clarencs Cook, tn Scribner's
