Hannah Binding Shoes.



Poor lone Hannah.
Sitting at the window, binding shoes;
Faded, wrinkled,
Sitting, stitching, in mournful muse.
Bright-eyed beauty once was she,
When the bloom was on the tree;
Spring and winter
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
Not neighbor,
Passing nod or answer will refuse,
TO her whisper,
rs there from the fishers any news?"
Oh her hearts adrift with one
On an endless voyage gonel
Night and morning
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
Fair young Hannah,
Ben, the sunburnt fisher, gayly wooes;
Hale and clever,
For a willing heart and hand he sues.
May-day skies are all aglow,
And the waves are laughing so.
For her wedding
Hannah leaves her window and her shoes
May is passing;
Mid the apple boughs pigeon cooes.
Hannah shudders,
For the wild Southwestern mischief brews
Round the rocks of Marbehead,
Outward bound, schooner sped;
Silent, lonesome,
Hannahs at the window, binding shoes.
lis November,
Now no tear her wasted cheek bedews.
From Newfoundland
Not sail returning will she lose,
Whispering hoarsely, FISHERMEN,
Have you, have you heard of Benz"
Ola with watching,
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
Twenty winters
Bleach and tear the ragged shore she views
Twenty seasons
Never one has brought her any news.
Still her dim ewes silently
Chase the white sails DER the sea
Hopeless, faithful,
Hannah's at the window. binding shoes

Why He Did 1t.

A short time ago, as was crossing
Market Street, near Tweuty-second
Street. boy not over ten years old,
who had been walking just before me
ran into the street and picked up a
broken glass pitcher. l supposed he
intended the pieces as missiles, since
the desire to throw something seems
instinct in every boy. Consequently
/ was much surprised when he tossed
the pieces into a vacant lot at the cor
ner and walked quietly on. As he
passed me, whistling, l said:
why did you pick up that pitcher 2"
Il was afraid it might cut some
horses foot" he replied.
My next question was natural one
Are you Band of Mercy boy?"
He smiled as he said: "Oh, YES ::
that's why did it,"
The bands of mercy were drawn
very closely around the dear little
fellows heart, am sure School and
Home.

How 10 Lessen the Miseries Of Spring
Cleaning.

That the spring is season Of many
trials to the average housekeeper there
is no doubt. Just when the early
spring flowers are expected. instead
comes cold and snow, and when the
sun shines brightly, it often seems to
make matters worse, showing the dirt
and smoke accumulated in spite OF
care, during the winter, to say moth
ing of faded curtains, dingy furniture
and worn carpets. The period is
trul Y one in which woman must pos
sess her soul in patience.
One very important consideration in
the matter of spring cleaning is never
to begin the work too soon. But once
having made up our minds that the
proper time has arrived. it is well 10
| look around to see how the cleaning
can be managed with the best results
and with the least amount of labor to
the housekeeper and discomfort TO the
family, for in spring cleaning. as in
all other household work, method must
be observed and good judgment exer-
cised.
There is variety Of opinions
among housekeepers where to begin,
but the garnet is usually the best place,
and It should be borne in mind that it
IS not at all necessary part Of the
work TO dIsmantle all the rooms in tie
house at once. Let the garnet be
thoroughly scrubbed and whtewashed.
the windows cleaned and the ceiling
wiped, all boxes and trunks inspected
and aired
Then come the bedrooms. The pic
lures should be taken from the walls.
The curtains taken down. the furniture
removed from the rooms and the car
pets taken up. First sweep the floors,
then brush off the walls, wash the
paints and windows, after which scrub
the floors, then open the doors and
windows and allow the rooms 10 air
over night. Ii the ceilings and walls
are soiled, clean off with bread crumbs
and wipe all over with soft, wooden
cloth. The furniture should be cleaned.
the carpets well shaken and everything
in readiness to return to the rooms
early in the morning.
The beds need a special degree Of
attention Al this season. After wash
ing the 5edsteads in strong salt and
water, coat OF sarnsh all over them
will prevent vermn coming later in
the season.
After the upstairs rooms are pu; in
order. the parlor, sitting dining
room and kitchen can lie taken one at
a time until all have secured attention
If housekeepers will adopt the sug-
gestlons and proceed Systematically,
they will find that the work can be 80
managed that the household will TIE al
most unconscious that they are pass
ing through the annual period OF q
misery known as Our spring clcat-
ing"

Sunshlny Homes.

Household hygiene is by no means
limited to sanitary dwellings and suit
able diet and dress. 1t extends to the
atmosphere of the hoLe, and includes
the influence of thoughts aud emotions
upon the body. 1t is physiological
fact that gloom or constant fault-find-
ing in the family, beside depressing
the spirits, actually reacts upon the vi
tai forces. Morbid tendencies are
strengthened, and incipient diseases
are developed in the homes which lack
the bealthful stimulus of cheer and
neutrality-suspicious..

NEW MATERIALS; A SEASON OF COLOR ::
GLOVES SHOES: CAPES: ANSWERS.
Grenadines are rendered CAV BY rea-
son of bright narrow stripes set at half
inch intervals on black surfaces or by
bars that enclose small SPRAYS. These
patterns are indefinitely varied upon
aud later on such materials will become
an important element in a season that
is notable for supreme cayety. Shaded
velvets and silks as well go far in col
or production, the latter being chiefly
effective since in consequence Of lighter
texture they are more freely brought
forward than the former. Purple may
shade into pink or crimson and those
INTO green or brown. etc. but the mod
lste 50 arranges the draping that the
same shades have relatively the
same position when made up, as for
example, where an independent waist
of shaded pink and brown silk shows
soft band OF the latter on each cuff
and across the bust, the folded belt al
so being relieved by pink. The deli
cacy resulting from use Of these ma

THEY RUN 1T.

Inasmuch as the city council transacts
it's own business, it is perhaps the bust
ness of no other people what they do,
so long as they follow the law. But the
other people can criticise public officials,
and hat is what about tWO.thirds Of
Durham is doing this morning. The
GLOBE has heard half a hundred expires
sious from among the best citizens-in
Guiding friends Of the new board, and
they all say that the turning down of
OFFICER SCARLETT was very poor judg.
ment.
S~CARLETT is a first class policeman.
He is a man of courage and he does not
appear at any time as a trimmer. He
has convictions and he talks. But he
always discharges his duty, and it is the
general opinion Of the taxpayers Of
Durham, those who assisted last year in
paying eight thousand dollars for sala
ries, that SCARLETT was one of the best
on the force.
AS to his successor we know nothing
Of his qualifications, but it is bad bust
ness policy to turn down tried officers
who have not been found wanting and
putting in men unacquainted with the
beats. This is the talk in Durham to-day,
and the talk is certainly justified by the
facts in the case.

A NEW DEAL.

The press association at us last aunuaA
meeting adopted a resolution which
the bakery for a business proposition.
Those who belong to the association and
publish papers have agreed that hereafter
they will charge five cents a line for
"'cards Of thanks resolutions of respect
and obituary poetry; also for obituary
notices other than those which the editor
himself shall give as a matter of news.
And that all notices of church and society
and all other entertainments from which
revenue is to be derived will be charged
for at the rate of five cents a line"
Well, THE GLOBE is glad that it does
not belong to the association, and the
members are perhaps also pleased that it
does not. All such notices will be printed
in The GLOBE free, as they have been in
the past. Churches, schools, secret So
cieties have always used our columns
free, and they can continue so to do.
We hold that church festivals, where
money is raised for church purposes or
any other purpose, for such are always
worthy, are entitled to the support of the
home newspapers. Temperance societies
which give entertainments are always
welcome to the use of our columns.
Cards Of thanks are always printed in
THE GLOBE free, and certainly if some
friend desires to write lines upon the
death of one they loved, we will cheer
fully print the same.
The fact of the business is, that a ma
iOrity of the North Carolina newspapers
take patent medicine advertisements at a
price absurdly low. THE GLOBE knows
Of dozens of contracts where it has
charged from five to six times the amount
received by these same papers now pro-
posing to continue the foreign adVer-
tisements at the same suicidal rate and
place a charge of five cents a line on
obituary poety.
THE GLOBE believes that churches and
societies are much more desirable to
communities than political meetings and
all such business, yet papers will devote
column after column to bolster a candi-
date or party, without money and with
out price, and now propose to charge
five cents a lire to give notice that a
church will hold a strawberry festival
mex Tuesday evening. The proceeds Of
the festival will be used to buy a carpet
for the church or assist in remunerating
an under paid parson, but that makes no
difference. There is not a paper in North
COrolina which receives five cents per
line per day for patent medicine adver-
tisements-but that is what they propose
to charge for printing a verse that an
afflicted daughter might write about her
mother who has died-Or what they
would charge a ~neighbor for inserting a
card of thanks to a fire company which
worked half the night to save a house.
Fudge! All such business is not in
keeping with what the boys of the state
press nave heretofore been doing.

AND 1T MAY BE TRUE.

n special to THE DURHAM GLOBE last week
from New Berne, stated that the negroes had
been drilling and getting ready for the fight,
and were abundantly supplied with deadly
dynamite. We learn from the Charlotte News
that il is the opinion of Mr.. JEROME DowD.
president of the North Carolina Press AssO-
citation. who arrived home last night from
New Berne, that though the James City trou-
bic is over for the present, he does not believe
that the state has heard the last of it. by any
means.-Wilmington Messenger.
The New Berne business will perhaps
be settled before the terms of lease expire.
Otherwise we will not be surprised to
hear of much trouble. THE GLOBE con
siderS that the action of the militia or
offices, under the circumstances, was IN
wise. 1t looks rather severe to say that
the negroes should have been moved
down, and it is not the right spirit to
suggest it. But the truth remains that
they feel that they have hoodwinked the
officers, and are preparing 10 remain.
We have some information that they will
not even pay rents after a few months.
They have boosted, we learn, that they
would rather save their money 10 buy
dynamite than pay rent.
We hope that this story is false, but it
is evident that they are inclined 10 make
trouble.
