Learning to Keep House.

II Harriet prescott SpOnOrd.
/ really began to learn housekeeping in
the days when, my mother being i'll, and
the burden of responsibility coming upon
me, used to hang over whatever ! was
about with the tears running down my face.
heavy with the selfish detection brought by
sense of the responsibility and it's fit OF
unfit assumption that, in my own case. I
have found large share OF the weight Of
housekeeping to lie. The first thing that I
found best to do when / became an actual
houSekeeper on my own account, so to say,
was to establish a system and set Of
rules growing out OF the requirements
of the household. Meals must be
at such hours; servants must be in
and the back door closed at such hours;
certain tasks must be assigned to certain
days. this day to the washing and those
days to the ironing, this day to the silver
cleaning and cengenial work, and that to
the care of halls and parlors. The next
imparetive necessity, ! need hardly say,
was to find place for everything and to
see that everything was kept in its place;
and having satisfied myself at last with a
cook who never wastes particle, whose
spotless and orderly closets are a perpet-
ual pleasure, who loves new recipe, who
keeps the run of the provisions, and
housemaid whose pride is in dark corners
and speckless windows, housekeeping has
become, so far as 1 am concerned. as much
play as it used to be in the old burial
place.

Characteristics of the Great and Sec
ductive American Game.
Cleveland Leader.
1t is a fascinating game, because in il
ones judgment, GOODNESS and pluck count
for even more than luck, though some old
veterans assert that even ''a fool can bet
good hand" But l know that their asser-
ton is too sweeping. a fool cannot bet
good hand so as to get all the money that
can be got out of it. To a veteran poker
player any mistake Of the eye or action is
an indication to guide him. and Pll
defy a fool to take, though he has
the best kind of hand, good hard
bluff" Round the pokertable man
of anything like acute judgment can
gage his opponents admirably. because
more opportunities to do so are offered. It
is there that one sees man as he u.s. and
avarice, generosity, bOldness and skill show
out first or last generally in the way
the player manages his hand. O, yesl
there is no doubt if a man must play cards
for money the nOblest and best way to play
them is in select poker group.
The game is peculiarly an American one.
1t fits in with the national temperament
and cannot imagine a model poker player
without also thinking of the frothy meth
DDS in use in many of our great business
affairs; methods that make the Am erican a
''bull'' or 'bear," as his inclinations or
interests dictate; that water stocks and
bonds of railroad until its rails
are buried in a mass of debt and every
body lets CO." In all these transactions
| bluff" pure and simple. is the dictator.
and the greater part of the stock in trade,
with an elegant assortment Of cheek as a
reserve fund and an inclination to call ON
lace high" When the call comes, if it
ever does come, a man is often unready in
a poker game or on Change. Our great
spectators all play poker and have done so
for many years. If as boys they played
the game they would have sat on the ends
whence limit bets on pair ''deuces'' or
trays would have come, and an air of in
| nocence would have spread its rays around
when the other fellow dropped out" the
''deuces" went into the deck, and the pot
was raked in.

Mr.. Henri Watterson has returned to
Louisville, has taken off his tourist suit
hung up his richly carved alpenstock and
with graceful bow has resumed the du-
ties OF his profession" In giving notice
that he will henceferth be responsible for
the contents of the Courier-J ournal, he, as
editor, sweetly says:
with one hand full of olive branches
for those who meet him. with smiling faces
and peaceful hearts, and the other full OF
clubs for those that merit them. and with
malice toward none, he has the satisfaction
and the honor to say to all: God bless
yOu'
AND the star spangled banner, oh, long may
Der the land of the free and the home Of the

Here are dignity, elegance. eloquence,
peace and patriotism. 1t may be doubted
If such a charming salutatory after a we'll

She consulted lawyers and detectives and
inserted advertisements in all the leading
newspapers of the country, offering re-
wards and also asking Paul to make known
his whereabouts. But nothing came of 1t,
and, after nearly year had gone by and
no trace of Paul had been found, Minnie
was pretty well discouraged and it seemed
useless to go farther. 1t seemed as II she
had been in every nook and corner OF the
United States, and certainly she could not
have overlooked him. There seemed to be
no other place to go. Tired and dlsheart-
ened she telegraphed the detective, who had
been faithful to her interests, to meet her
at her home. She was coming East from San
Francisco. Her years experience had cost
her over S10 600. and it was evident to her
that if this drain upon her resources con-
tinued it would not be great while before
her little fortune was exhausted. she
must look over the ground and determine
what was best to do for the future. If there
was anything on which to base hope
she was willing and anxious to go on with
the search; but, if it was hopeless, she
must of necessity face the inevitable and
abandon it. She had reached this conclu-
sion after long and patient argument with
herself. 1t was like tearing out her heart
to give it up: but She was sensible enough
to realize that if there was no hope it was
folly to persist in following out her cher
ished plan. When the detective came the
matter was fully discussed in all its details
and bearings. The detective frankly adj
vised her to abandon the search, and he
succeeded in convincing her that the chance
of finding Paul was about one in million.
She admitted this, but still the one chance
possessed strange infatuatiOn for her.
Finally, after days brooding over it. she
agreed that if, after the end of three
months. she did not succeed in finding Paul
she would acknowledge that there was not
even one chance. and would stay at home
and devote her life to the services Of her
aged parents. .s..e.
1t was the spring of the year and the balmy
odor of the air waited through Minnie's
window brought visions of laughing brooks
and green fields and bright flowers. There
had been heavy rains up to within week,
and all the streams were swollen. In some
places the banks were OverflOwed, and
numbers of bridges were washed away.
