SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Through Pickering leaves the sunlight sitting
Falls warmly across the tidy floor.
The distant voices of gleeful children
Come family in at the open door. titf
Inc clock low rhythm defines the stiffness;
The house is resting from work well done:
The weary housewife, with patient fingers,
Knits mid the quiet so hardly won.
She ponders the days completed labors,
Finished betimes, ere the Sabbath rest;
The dainties stored in the well-filled pantry
The mendet garments, the welcomed guest.
The toil-worn fingers move slow and slower.
Her head droops forward, her eyes full soon
Close in a gentle and childlike slumber,
And she dreams in the Saturday afternoon.
She wanders with tireless feet of childhood
Through meadows she knew so well of yore,
And laughs as she fills her tiny apron
with blossoms fragrant, in boundlesS store.
Forms long vanished step in at the doorway;
Sweet voices sing forgotten rune;
Angels ascend and descend before her,
And she rests in the Saturday afternoon
The fading sun sinks under the hill-tops,
The shadows lengthen across the floor;
The birds chirp softly their goodnight carol,
The children pause at the dark ming door;
The tired sleeper no more they waken,
Pale in he rays of the harvest moon:
She waits the dawn of an endless Sabbath,
Gone home in the Saturday afternoon.

The Pig and the Hollow Log.

My story is about potato field in
"Old Virginia" 1t had around it ga
stake and rider fence" The potatoes
grew and grew, in sunshine, dew and
rain. They were now as big as hens
eggs.
The owner of the field saw that there
was something wrong with his potato
patch. The vines were torn up, and
the potatoes were gone. But who was
the theft Bv watching, may be, the
robber might be found out.
The farmer hid himself among some
bushes. But he saw nothing, except
one of his own little pigs. Piggy was
coming slowly, slowly along the big
road. He was roofing all the way, and
grunting at every step. Did the pig
know where he was going? '
One corner of the rail fence rested on
a large hollow log That log was just
like the elbow OF stove-pipe. One of
its ends was outside and one was inside
of the potato field.
The sly pig went straight to that log!
With grunt, he crawled in at one end
of it, and, with another grunt, he
crawled out at the other end. into the
field. There he began, at once, to root
up the nice potatoes, and to eat them.
The farmer jumped over the fence.
In trice the bars were put down.
There was loud call; "Here, Rover,

about these ''commercial'' artists is
their preference for large brushes, such
even as are used by house painters.
Their rapidity is not less noteworthy.
They literally ''sling'' the paint on.
Stencil pictures are also now made in
great quantities and sent West, where
there is large demand for them on ac-
count OF their cheapness. 1t is only by
careful examination that they can be
distinguished from the ordinary cheap
painted pictures, and if the parts where
the several different stencils join have
been parefully painted over with a
brush it is said to be impossible to tell
one kind from another.-Art Anaateur.

Strong. Minded Women Among the Es-
Quimaux.

A young woman, DR.. Dali tells us,
really quite fine looking. and of re-
markedly good physique and mental
capacity, was observed to hold herself
aloof from the young men of the tribe
in an unusual manner. Inquiry. first of
others, afterward of herself, brought
out the following reasons for
the eccentricity. In effect she
said she was as strong as any
of the young men; not one of them had
ever been able to conquer her in wrest-
ling or other athletic exercises, though
it had more than once been tried. some
times with surprise and with odds
against her. She could shoot and hunt
deer as we'll as any of them, and make
and set snares and nets. She had her
own gun, bought from the proceeds of
her trapping. She despised marriage
and did not desire to do the work of
wife; but preferred the work which
custom among the Esquimaux allots to
the men. In short, she was a ''wom-
an rights" female of the most adj
vanced type. When winter came, hav-
ing made convert of smaller and
less athletic damsel, the two set to
work with walrus-tusk pick and dug the
excavation in which they erected their
own house, which was of the usual type
of Esquimaux houses walled and
rolled with drift wood covered with
turf. 1t was, however, as an addition
al defense against unwished-for prowl-
ing males, divided into two rooms, with
a very small and narrow door between
them, next which lay some handy bill
lets of wood to crack the sconce
of possible intruder. Here our two
amazons lived, traded and carried on
their affairs in defiance of connubial
bonds and public sentiment. The lat
ter seemed to be composed half of dis
appreciation and half of envious admit
ration; while all the young fellows in
the village busted themselves in con-
cocting plans against the enterprising
pair. These were too fully on the alert
to be surprised, and all efforts against
their peace were fruitless. When the
deer hunting season came the two set
off to the mountains; and no sooner
had they departed than disappointed
lovers and outraged public sentiment"
exemplifed in a mob, reduced their
winter quarters to shapeless ruin. So
far as DR.. Dahrs information goes, the
following year the ladies returned to
the ordinary ways of the world, and
gave up the unequal contest against a
tyrannical public opinion. Chambers
