yeranda Glazed For Winter.

When the veranda-a purely American
institution--was developed out of the Eng
lish and continental terrace and the Italian
loggia, 1t was accepted as more exclusively
summer necessity than the country house
TO which it was attached.
Nowadays, with the approach of winter
the pleasant lounging place is not only
abandoned, but it is relegated in the mindi
of its owners to the semianuual limbo OF
tennis flannels, mosquito MEETINGS and 9th
er tropical accomplishments of rural life
AS matter of fact, the hundreds Of PEG
pie who live in the country all the veal
round ought to realize what peculiarly
fine sitting room for the winter an incloseC
veranda makes. A few have arrived at thii
realization. But it is seldom that ont
meets Wi such perfect adaptation of tn,
idea as exists in certain New England val
ley.
This veranda is fully Is feet wide, perhaps
even more. 1t extends around three side
of a large stone house, with breaks only fo
the porte cochere and similar features.
In the winter not any of its glories fade
The entire structure is glazed. The deco
rations and furniture remain. And Will,
the visitors enjoy all the homelike comforts
of the summer they have stretched befor
them one of the loveliest landscapes in tn
east.-New York Tribune.

Mr.. Conant of the Boston Baseball club
tells new story of King Kelly. "Iou all
know said he, "that Kelly was the man
who got Stivetts and Mccarthy for us
from the St. Louis club. That was during
the fight between the Association and
the League We got Kelly not long before
from the Cincinnati Association club, and
he knew we wanted Stivetts and McCar-
thy. One evening while the st. Louis
club was in Boston the door bell at my
residence rang. The girl went to the door
and found three men standing there. One
of them inquired:
is the boss imp
1.-THE girl was rather taken aback, but
she replied, Yes, he's up stairs
Well, said Kelly, for it was he who
was speaking, you go down in the cellar
and get two bottles, then go up stairs and
tell the boss to come down.
1.-THE girl shut the door, came up to my
room and told me there was crazy man
down stairs. He told me to go down
stairs and get two bottles and then tell
you to come down
"'What did he look likei' inquired.
"She described him, and also told me Of
the two men who were with him. That's
all right, said |. You go down stairs ant
get the two bottles.

The Origin of Satin.

The discovery Of the principle of the
manufacture of satin was pure accident.
The word "satin," which originally was
applied to all silk stuffs, has since the last
century been used to designate simply
those tissues which only present lustrous
surface. The discovery was made by
silk weaver named Octavio Mai. During
a dull period of business one day he was
pacing before his loom, not knowing how
to give a new Impulse to his trade.
AS he passed the machine each time he
pulled short threads from the warp, and
following an old habit put them into his
mouth and rolled them about, soon after
splitting them upon the floor. Later he
discovered little ball of silk upon the
floor of his shop and was astonished at
the brilliancy of the threads. He repeated
she experiment and eventually employed
various mucilaginous preparations and
succeeded in giving satin to the world

Several days ago, duringa storm, an ex-
traordinary gust Of wind blew one of the
boy dummy figures out of the second story
window of a clothing house near Third
and Market streets. The little figure fell
to the ground and lay face downward on
the pavement. Men, women and children
flocked to the scene from every direction.
Signs Of sympathy And distress were heard
on all sides None had nerve enough t.
lift up 1.-THE poor little fellow" Several
men and boys, more thoughtful than the
rest, hurried away for doctors. A stall
wart policeman sent for an ambulance and
made the crowd stand back to give the
boy air, Just about that time the figure
was missed, and one of the clerks hurried
out and picked it up.-Louisville Com

For editors look blank on six cents due"

The Awakening.
1t OF love. | do not know

Ask me not OF love. do not know
How lilies blow,
Or first the tufted larch begins its green;
How secretly the apple bloom grows white
Or how the lilacs spin their purple sheen
Upon the russell boughs in one short night.
know not how the locust, blossoming
In early spring,
Expands the withered roughness of its cell
Till all the air is perfumed with its breath,
Or how the furry willow catkins swell
To sudden freshness from "a stem of death
Day breaks, and, lol the daffodils unfold
Their hearts of gold.
The jasmine bursts its buds within the hour.
The barren meadow, wooed by one warm sun
Arrays itself In myriad leaf and flower
know not how these miracles are done.
Nor know by what sweet and subtle art
Love warns the heart.
A clearer sapphire crowns the mellow noon,
mystic glamour gilds the commonplace,
brighter crescent rims the golden moon,
And all things image one beloved face.

GEMS IN VERSE,


Wopyets We.
wcavcrs we at the loom Of Tine.
swift arn our shuttles flyinc.
Warp and wool we are weaving fast
Ever our life task plying.
in sunshine in shade, In pleasure, in gloom
Weave we LIES tissue on Times busy loom
Threads Of gold thro' the bright new WOO.
CLEAN when the work Is begun.
The gold pales of in duh gray hues
And fades ere the task Is done,
While some threads are snarled, and the tan
gled skcin
j. soiled in the weaving with salt tears stain.
Weave we the warpas weave we may,
Vain all our toll, vain our skin.
Broidered by Fate, the web shall be
Not the fashion OF our will,
For a double thread e'er runs thro' the welt.
In the fairest stitch some false loon is left.
Alas who gayest wove at dawn,
As slow the dull lengths unreel,
Most weary at the evenings close,
Tolls on at the restless wheel
rntil snaps the thread and the shuttle drops
As the loom, with its unshaped fabric, stops.
Then One picks up the broken ends,
Tangled by error and doub.,
Forms of the web the weaver wCve,
As lie smooths the roughness out
Whatever the worker fashioned below
His robe Of light or his garment of woe.

There is a purpose In pain.
Otherwise 1t were devilish. trust In my soul
That the great master hand which sweeps DER

Ofthis deep harp of life, II at moments II stretch
10 shrill tension some one wailing nerve, means
to fetch
Its response the truest. most stringent and
smart,
Its pathos the purest, from out the wrunR
heart,
Whose faculties, placid 1t may be, If less
Sharply stung, sharply smitten, had failed TO
express
Just the one note the great final harmony needs,
And what best proves there's life in "a heartI-
that it bleeds!
Grant cause to remove, grant an end to attain,
Grant both to be Just, and what mercy in pain
Cease the sin with the sorrow! See morning
begin!
Pain must burn itself out If not fueled by sin
There is hope in yon bright hilltops and love in
yon light.
Let hate and dependency die with the night!
