"WhO's Dat AnOckin' 2"

winning all the money as fast as they could.
I watched the game awhile, and was stand

preacher got four aces dealt him before the

''He turned his head clear around, and
says he: who's dat knocl;n' on dat dog
"There wasn't anybody knocking at the
door, but you see the old preacher wanted to
give the other two a chance to fix up hand.
They wasn't playin' straight fushes, so he
turns clear around with his back to the table,
and says he: Who's dat knoclin' at dat do?
Is dat you, Marian: All right. Use comm

"One of the other feiiers had two kings, and
they gunned through the pack and got out
the other two kings before the old preacher
looked around to the table again. One of
'em bet a dollar Then the old preacher
went down in his pocket an got out all the
money he had, 81. and put it up. You fell

THAT Waltz OF Won WEDER,s.
mora Pelry.1

Mora Perry.l
Gayly and gayly rang the gay music,
The blithe, merry music of harp and of
horn,
The mad, merry music that set us dancing
Till over the midnight came stealing the
morn.
Down the great hall went waving the ban
nerS.
Waving and waving their red, white, and
blue,
AS the sweet summer wind came blowing and
blowing
From the city's great gardens asleep in the
dew.
Under the flags that foated and floatsd,
Under the arches and arches of flowers,
We two and we two foated and fioated
Into the mystical midnight hours.
And just us the dawn came stealing and
stealing,
The last Of those wild Weber waltzes be-
gan;
can hear the soft notes appealing and plead
ing,
And catch the faint scent of the sandal
wood fan
That lay in your hand, your hand on my
shoulder,
We danced and we danced till the dawn OF
the day.
But why should dream DER this dreary old
ledger
In this countipg-room down in this dingy
old street,
OF that night or that morning, just there at
the dawning,
When our hearts beat in time to our fast
flying feet?
What is it that brings mo that scene of en-
chantment,
Sofragrant and fresh from out the dead
years,
That just for moment I'd swear that tho
music
Of Weber's wild waltzes were still in my
ears?
What is it, indeed, in this dusty old alley,
That brings me that night or that morning
in June?
What is it, indeed laugh to confess it
A hand,orgap grinding creaking old
tune!
But somewhere or other = caught IN the
measure
That waltz of Won Webers and back it all
came,
That night or that morning, just there at the
dawning,
When danced my last dance with my first
and last flame.
My first and my last! but who would believe
If, down in this dusty old alley to-day,
'Twix the talk about cotton, the markets and
money,
l should suddenly turn in some moment
and say
That one memory only had left me lonely
And gray-bearded bachelor, dreaming of
Junes,
Where the nights and the mornings, from the
dusk to the dawnings
Seemed SET to the music Of Weber's wild

Madge's Attic Gallery.
Mrs Roe in Tho Household. ]

MIS-. llOo III lhc
With great enthusiasm Madge undertook
to make the attic interesting, as she had
more tact in making something out of moth
ing than did. She made every one stay be-
low stairs until she had completed her task.
At last l was admitted to see that
she had papered the walls with
old, old picture papers. Every foot
of surface was covered and for three
long hours l fingered over those illustrations,
many of them comic. some of considerable
beauty all interesting. On the shelves she
put wall paper with the white back turned
outward and along the edge of this she had
drawn laughablo charcoal sketches.
Everything was hung up SO that it was
convenient to dispose of in that way and
other things were put away into old chests
or large boxes with lids. The memorable
rule for keeping the attic in order was that
everything taken there for storage should be
put snugly away, and not merely taken to
tina head of the steps and thrown down.

Rosa Bonheur, the Artist.


Admirers of Rosa Bonheur's pictures will
be glad to learn that the talented woman is
out of danger again. The disease she
suffers from is constitutional, and must ulti-
mately prove fatal; but she has once more
sufficiently recovered to resume work. She
lives at Bye, village in the Champagne,
among mass of all kinds of animals, which
serve her as models She is all work, and
greatly dislikes receiving visitors. But she
is naturally aniable when she does receive
them. She is now 81 years old. Her hair,
cut short like that of man, is perfectly
white Wien alone and at work she wears
loose trousers and a workingman's blouse.
She was never married, and her fortune,
which is beginning to be quite large, will go
to the numerous children of her sister, Nine.
Peyrol and her two brothers, Isidore and
Auguste She does not take any orders, and
has nothing to do with the sale Of her work.

name of Gambard, attends to all this, and
has already made fortune out OF the old

Mexican Kitchen Cleanliness.

lfaQQ1e brlRnaHl Waru
Whatever else American housekeepers
may find worthy of imitation in Mexican
methods, / am sure that dish-washing, as
that disagreeable duty is practiced here, will
not be one of them. The Mexican dish
washer does not bother with table-and
thereby saves her arms from scrubbing
and her legs from standing-but seats her
self serenely on the floor beside pail of hot
or cold water. She has no soap, but little
sliced amole root makes stronger and
clearer suds and in lieu of dishcloth she uses
a tiny broom-brush like our SMALLEST whisk
brushes
The only disagreeable suggestion about it
is that these dish brooms are exactly like
those used to brush hair-from the "head of
the family" down to that Of the humblest
creado there are few combs used in Mexico
and the fear will intrude that those brooms
may some times get mixed" like Butter
cups babiesl The dishes are never wiped,
but are turned up to dry, sometimes
in tray or ON an above shelf,
but generally on the hard dirt floor
leaned against the wall. Strange to say, they
always come to the table clean and shining.
But fancy their condition if the average Irish
or negro servant were allowed to do likewisel
The brass spoons and steel-bladed knives are
kept bright enough to see your face in,
though no bath bricks OF patent soaps are
employed in their polishing-nothing but
pure, unadulterated dirt The servant whose
duty it is takes them out of doors, kneels
upon the ground, dips up little fresh earth,
and holding the knife or spoon firmly on a
stone, polishes at her leisure. Despite dirt
floors and the absencs of all those con-
veniences which we consider indispensa-
BILE, l have never yet seen a untidy
kitchen in Mexico. Everything is kept
as bright and fresh as hands and amole can
make it, even to the cooking pottery, which
is of necessity smoked black whenever used.
If we could combine their innate neatness
with our improved methods the result
would be that cleanliness which we are told
is "akin to goodness

Economy OF yV0Inan's Time and
Labor

[Eben E. RexfOTd in Western Plowman.
One woman will arrange her work in such
a way that it goes Oh like clock-work. One
thing leads to another, and the first thing
you know, it is done. There has been no
hustle, no worry, no needless steps, no doing
Independently such things as could be done
partially together. A woman who works in
this way will often have time for rest and
amusement, and her neighbors who do not
study and understand her way OF doing things
will get the idea that she does not have as
much to do as they do. They hustle about
busily, they fret over their work, they take
ten steps, often, when five would answer, and
their work is seemingly never completed,
simply because there is no system about it.
They fail to understand the economy of time
and labor, which is involved in a clear, we'll
thought-out plan.
| have often seen women make half a dozen
trips to the cellar in one day, when little
careful thinking in the morning would have
told them what would be needed from that
place. during the day, and one trip would
have answered for all the many steps they
gave themselves. "Never go twice for what
can be brought at one time if you value time,
and would make yourself as little labor as
possible" heard mother say to her daugh-
ter once, and the good sense in the remark i'm
pressed me, and have never forgotten it. To
apply the advice the daughter must think
out what was to be done, before doing any
thing. Once thought out, she could so ar
range and combine her work that time and
labor would be economical.
