4. Ballad of February 22d.

=. Ballad of February 22d.
It was a glorious holiday
Throughout the mighty land
Excepting in the Capitol,
And there was war on hand.
For mutterings came, both deep and long,
On that eventful day,
When bold Sir Richard Bland declared
For work instead Of play.
Sir Charles, the leader. cried: II have
No mind for fight just now.
Come, valiant Dockery. and take
The laurel on your brow"
And he who is, for short, called Dock"
Then babe the trumpets bray;
And merrily the band pealed forth:
I've worked eight hours today
And then the tumult came. in sooth,
And old men signed: "Ah me.
That I should ever witness here
very mutinee"
The emblem Of authority
They brought. with footsteps quick
A beauteous silver cuckoo poised
Upon a carven stick.
In days of yore, when eer they bore.
That symbol to the place
To treat 1t with contempt was thought
A very sore disgrace.
But now-'tis sad to have to tell
OF good traditions wrecked
The naughty knights seemed all prepared
To show 1t disrespect.
"Avaunt" cried sad Sir Richard. then,
By numbers somewhat daunted;
And willingly they took the cue,
And, one and all. avaunted.
Now many a heart is filled with grief.
CTS different on the morrow
And tears are shed while men relate
The silver cuckoo's sorrow.

II the members Of the House of Repre-
sentatives are aware of any creditable in
cfdent which took place duriag the course
Of yesterdays proceedings they should d.
rect popular attention to it Mt once, so that
II may no longer be possible to say that
the conduct Of the House was wholly dis
graceful to the House itself and nation
ally discreditable. The people OF the United
States have been greatly shocked by minor
disturbances which have taken place in
foreign legislatures. but after yesterdays
performances before the eyes of the whole
world the possibility Of criticizing other pow
ers is decidedly remote so far all self
respecting Americans are concerned. If the
House is unable to attend 70 the business
entrusted it by the people and cannot con-
troll, even upon the floor. those who delight
IN being unruly, it had better adjourn over
from day to day until the Senate gets
through with its program AMI then so
home. That the members who stirred
things up yesterday are to oe held to entire
responsibility cannot reasonably be urged:
the organization of the House is itself
faulty and must bear much Of the blame.
The line of procedure followed by House
oficials seems not to have been based on
sound law so IL is far from surprising that
some OF the aggrieved ones combined to mu-
tiny. When the House develops CROUCH of
business sense to see and admit that its
rules are lamentably defective IL will no
longer be possible to duplicate yesterdays
shameful session. AS matter of fact,
there was no good reason why Congress
should not have adjourned over from We'd
nesday until today in honor Of the ami
versary which was remembered by every
loyal and well-informed being in the United
States. Viewed from the standpoint of the
ward politician, George Washington may
have a decidedly old-fashioned appearance.
but his greatness will continue to increase
as time goes on, and not until the precepts
he taught and the principles he fought for
once more become conspicuous in our gov

Easy stairs to Climb.

There is great deal of stair climb
ing to be done here before we cha!l
climb dem golden stairs" and those
who are about to build would do well
to see to it that all the stairs be made
as easy as possible. The very acme OF
ease is reached in stairs that have treads
~ to is inches broad and risers to
inches high. The run or distance III
most houses is too short to allow Of this,
but they should come as near it as the
architect of the house will permit. II
is SO easy to climb such stairs that one

Reflected Light.

A dead white surface has decided ad-
vantages for rejecting light over look
ing glass or a bright surface. Good
white blottipg paper reflects back 81
per cent of the light cast upon it. Many
persons are under the impression that
looking glass must be better reflector
than paper or whitewashed surface be-
cause with looking glass strong shad-
ow can be cast, while from dead sur
face no heavy shadow is obtained.
The reason is not so much that the re-
fected light is less from the dead sur
face, but that the reflection is concen-
trated in the case of the looking glass.
With paper or whitewash it proceeds
from vast number of points. Brook

He seemed astonished.
"Have mel' he repeated. why.

AS he turned the stairs noticed that

1.-THE latchstring hangs out" ex-
pressed the hospitality of the southern
frontier in the days "before the war"
If traveller rode up before the fence
that separated the log cabin from the
road, he was greeted by, Light, stran-
ger, light" Without this salutation
no one dismounted, but it was rarely
withheld. Mr.. Williams, in his book,
Sam Houston, thus describes the i'm
pulse of hospitality, which made every
traveller guest, during the early settle
ment of Texas:
The traveller who rode up to the front
fence was instantly invited to alight.
His horse was staked out or hobbled to
feed on the prairie grass, and the Wis
itor sat down to exchange the news with
his host. The coffee mill was set 60
ing, if there were any of the precious
grains in the house, and the hopper in
the hollow log to grinding the corn.
The venison or bear meat was put on
the Goals, and the ash cake baked.
After the meal and the evening pipe,
the visitor stretched himself on a buff
falo robe on the floor with the members
of the family and slept the sleep of
health and fatigue. In the morning the
response to any inquiry as to the charge
was, "You can pay me by coming
again."
The story that certain hospitable
settler used to waylay travellers on the
road and compel them to visit him at
the muzzle of a double barreled shot
gun was only humorous exaggeration
of the instinct for hospitality which
characterized the community.
The visitor was living newspaper,
who brought the only news obtainable,
and was welcome relief to the monot-
0ny and loneliness of the wilderness. =
