But il is not because Of lis human inhab-
tants, nor Of its quarrics for the hunter on

THE HOUSE OF HATE.

Nine enemy builded well, with the soft blue
hills in sight;
But betwixt his house and the hills builded
house for spite;
And the name thereof set IN the stoneWorh
over tine gate,
With carving of bats and apes, and called 1t
The House of Hate.
And the front was alive with masks and malice
and despair,
Horned demons that leered in stone, and women
with serpent hair;
That Whenever his glance would rest on the soft
hills far and blue,
It must fall mine evil work, and my hatred
should pierce him through.
And said Il will dwell herein, for beholding
my hearts desire
On nv foe" and knelt, and fain had frightened
the hearth with fire;
But the brands they would hiss and die as with
curses q straneled man,
And the hearth was cold from the hour that the
House of Hate began.
And called with a voice of power, make ye
merry, all friends OF mine,
In the hall of my House of Hate, where Is pien-
tiful store and wine:
We will drink unhealth together unto him l
have foiled and fooledT
And they stared and they passed me by; but l
scorned to be thereby schooled.
And ordered my board for feast, and drank
in the topmost seat
Choice grape lTOln u CuIlOu5 duu OAiC Ii oI
1t was wonder-sweet;
But the second was bitter indeed, and the third
was bitter and black,
And the gloom of the grave came on me and
cast the cup to wrack.
Alone, 1 was stark alone, and the shadows were
each fear,
And thinly laughed, but once, for the echoes
were strange to hear;
And the wind the stairway howled, as
green we'd wolf might cry;
And heard my heart l must look on the face
of man or die!
So crept to my mirrored face and looked,
and l saw it grown
By the light in my shaking hand to the like
of the masks of stone;
And with horror | shrieked aloud as flung my
torch and fed;
And fire snake wreathed where it fell, and at
midnight the sky was red.
And at morn, when the House of Hate was
ruin,
I fell at mine enemy's feet and besought him to
slay my shame,
But he looked in mine eyes and smiled and his
eyes were calm and great;
you rave or have dreamed, " he said; L saw not
your House of HAZEL"

business or devotion he drives through
his orange groves and strawberries, as

has had carefully kept in order. He
uses the old chariot of Plus TX. for
his drives, preferring it to the landaus
which have been sent to him as pres
enss by the wealthy faithful" and in
this vehicle he is driven ten or fifteen
times around the gardens. By the side
of ruin which stands ON the top of the
hill the Pope has planted vines with
his own hand, and these he cultvates

Care Of the Hands.

Because you live in the country and
do hOusework, and even some good,
honest toll on the farm itself, is no rea-
son why you should neglect certain
little nlceties of life, such as the care of
your hands and teeth. You probably
will not be able to keep the former
white and soft as if you used them only
for dainty embroidery, but few min
utes spent each day in caring for them
will show at least that they are well
kept, and the signs of toll that cannot
be eradicated you need not be ashamed
Of.
The nails can be nicely trimmed;
they cannot be even moderately long,
but they may be shapely and pointed.
Perhaps you cannot afford to buy the
outfit of manicure" but you un-
doubleday have a pair of small en-
broidery scissors; the file you must re-
place as best you may with the one in
your penknife, or, failing that, with
piece of course sandpaper; and the
channels polisher, costing anywhere
from 60 cents to 50, you can make your
self. Take child's block about an inch
thick and three inches wide by five
long-large enough to grasp it firmly
tack bit of soft cloth for padding and
over that piece of channels you keep for
polishing silver on one of the edges,
and you have an article that may not be
ornamental, but will answer every pur-
pose.
Soften your hands by washing in
warm water with some good toilet soap
for few minutes, then with the small
scissors trim the nails, rounding them
nicely and cutting the corners very low.
With some blunt instrument Gf you
have not a fle) push back the flesh
from the base Of the nails and trim
away all the dead skin. Now apply
your polisher and brush vigorously for
few minutes. Do this once week,
and every day spend few minutes in
the use of the polisher, and your hands
will repay you in their neat appearance
for the time you have spent. A solu-
ton of oxalic acid kept in bottle with
glass stopper will remove all stains of
ink or fruit, and a match or small
stick dipped in the solution and passed
under the nails will remove any discol-
Grafton that does not come off with
washing. There is pink powder sold
by druggists for polishing, but this may
be dispensed with. If, however, you
get any, be sure that you get the best
and not spurious article. You should
have pair of old kid gloves, or, better
still, wash leather, to wear when you
are wedding in the garden or doing any
| that will admit oe -
Ispeak with conviction born of sad
experience, for am farmers daugh-
ter myself, and never thought of caring
for my hands when was child. When

the early neglect.-M. E. Broaoaa, I'M

A King of Gamblers.

Another illustrious skinfint is COM
ing as such to the front I mean the
Prince of Monaco. That sovereignlet,
I need hardly say, has followed the ex-
ample of the Landgravine, the dukes of
Nassau, the grand dukes of Baden, and
the Princess of Waldeck-Pyrmont in
making money out of hell. His gam
bling concessions to the Monaco COM
pany and his share in the profits of the
roulette tables bring him in, and have
brought him in for years, an income
that amounts on an average to $500 a
day. He is widower, blind, keeps up
no sort of style or state at his country
seat of LIE Marchus, or at his hereditary
palace of Monaco, and has but one son
and grandson to provide for. I do
not suppose he spends $4,000 year.
Well, when last winter earthquakes
shook the rivers, Monaco not escaping,
the first thought of the Prince and his
partners was to keep their source of
wealth up to its usual money-producing
mark, so they caused kilograms to be
sent to the newspapers everywhere to
make believe that, as the earthquakes
did not trouble Monaco, gamblers need
not stay away in dread. It was only
when things had got back into the old
rut, and the roulette tables were in full
swing, that any thought was given to
the victims of the earthquake, and
means resorted to for clearing up shat
tered houses. A subscription was set
on foot, which the Prince was asked to
head, and he led off with e4O0, less than
single days income. He stipulated,
moreover, that one-half- namely e2OO
was to be spent at Mentone, on his
own tenants there, town which once
was under his sway, and in which he
has still valuable property. The SOW
ereignty he sold for e16O,000 to Napo-
leon III.-a sum represented by per-
petual income from France of $4,000
year out of the per cent. The Casino,
or Hell company was not much more
liberal than the blind old Prince. It
subscribed e. 400, which is less
than a days profit on one of the six
roulette tables, and this is to be re-
couped land more) by another table. =

Tree Dwellings.

A study of the various habitations
which do service as the home of man, is
at once most curious and interesting.
We lind them made of almost every
conceivable material-of snow and ice,
of mud and sod, of the skins of animals,
and of the leaves, bark, and twigs of
trees, as well as of the many other ma
terials commonly considered suitable
for building purposes. Quite as varied
are the sites selected for dwellings; the
caves of the earth, the cliffs of the rocks,
the almost inaccessible mountain-side,
the lowland swamps, and even lakes
sometimes form the site of a pile village.
In thinly populated districts of
Southern and Central Africa, where
wild beasts abound, the natives dwell in
huts which resemble gigantic bee-hives.
These huts are firmly fixed among the
large branches of the boabab, an i'm
mense tree-sometimes more than one
hundred feet in circumference-which
rises like dwarf tower from twenty to
thirty feet, aid then throws out branches
like miniature forest. One such tree
furnishes ample room for severa.
houses, and it is said that thirty families
have been found to occupy single tree.
In many instances, natives who till the
soil at any great distance from their
tribe, build these huts for nightly &C
commodation.
The natives of New Guinea are said
to build their houses in high trees.
sometimes upon the narrowest and most
inaccessible ridges of the mountains.
To these dwellings, bamboo ladders were
the only means of access. To give these
ladders strength, and to render the as
cent and descent easier, vines were
cultivated to Chamber up them.
The Waraus, a tribe of Indians, living
upon the banks of the Orinoco, also
sometimes build their huts in the tree
tops. The Indian searches through
the forest until he finds a tree which
suits his fancy, then proceeds to fashion
hut among its branches. When the
annual floods come he uses it as q raft,
and floats away to some locality which
pleases him better.
Tree houses certainly offer some adj
vantages from sanitary point OF view.
The jewellers in them are sure of an
abundance of good air. Swinging in
the tree-tops," they may enjoy an
atmosphere unpolluted by ground air, q
damp basement, or an unclean CELLAR
