L and Gate Of strong, chelp, and dur
able Steel Wire Fence which is now be-
ing used at the North and Northwest i'll

HER own HOUSE,


Fortunately for me was not forgotten,
and when one foggy Sunday | entered
her pleasant London drawing-room,
both she and Mr.. Lewes warmly wei
coined me.
Sunday was their reception day.
From to Z the cleyerest men and
women in London felt honorcd in be-
ing received by the quiet woman who
sat by the fire with her back TO the
window and talked earnestly in almost
whisper, while Lewes peryaded the
atmosphere, speaking first with one and
then with another, always interesting
and frequently brilliant, the ugliest Of
men, who made you forget his pockcd
face and shaggy red hair in about lif-
teen minutes. Often he came TO my
rooms and delighted me with his con
versaton and advice, but she never
came. She visited no one; all visited
her-all save music and art At every
private vicw," at every fine classical
concert, George Eliot was sure to be
present, dressed unobtrusiyely and
seemingly obliyous of everyone about
her. She loved music ardcntIy, and
was herself pianist of no mean order.
Only once did ! succeed in Turing her
away from the priory, and that was TO
see the telephone, about which she was
very curious. Yes, she would como
with Mr.. Lewes, provided no one else
was wa. present. So one afternoon George
LIiot visited the office of Bells telc'
phone in the city, and for an hour test.
Wv i.s capacity at is very wonderful,
very useful, She said; what marvel.
GUS inventions you Americans have!'
A. was the last limc ever saw her oi
him--'Lewes died suddenly not long af
ter, and now She has passed away, 10,
soon for her friends, but not too soor
for her fame.

Knitting.

Knitting gally In the sunshine.
While the fragrant roses blow.
And the light wind stirs the petals.
TIL they fall like fakes OF snow;
Laughing gladly, glancing shyly,
AT the lover by her side
Saucy dimples, coy confessions,
All a maldens love and pride;
Weaving In with Skillfnl fingers
Girllsh fancIes, pure desires,
While the brightness OF the future
Flashes through the twinkling wires:
And young hearts fond ambitions,
Tender hopes and golden dreams,
Deepen as the sunlight deepens,
With It's thousand darts and CLEANS
Knitting silent In the shadows.
With dropping. weary head,
Gazing out into the twilight
Whence the life and light have fed
Moving neryeless, langud fingers:
Striving 10 be bright in vain,
And 10 still the hearts wild nutter.
Throbbing In It's mighty pain;
Working through the silky texture,
All woman's anguished fears,
Looking out on past and future,
Through mist Of burning tears
Knitting patentin the twilight
Quietly bearing all her woe,
While the roses shed their petals
In a fragrant summers snow
Knitting hercely, in the anguish
or burning, fiery strife:
or quietly in the sunlight
OF calm hearts happy life.
Knitting heavily and slowly,
In life's last fitful hours;
Or skilfully and gaily.

Weaving inaglorious future;
