The Cottage on the Hill.
[ can Zee in fancy still

| can See i'll fancy still
The white cottage on the hill,
The honeysuckle blooming by the door,
Where the early beams of morn
Wake the roses on the lawn
And softly crept along the kitchen floor.
There were flowers of every hue
Sparkling in the morning dew.
hear drowsy humming of the bees,
And | see the robins throng
With merry trill and song,
To pluck the ripening cherries from the trees
Whistling down the grassy lane
Goes the farmer boy again
To drive the patient kline to pastures green
With heart so light and gay
Sowing fancies all the way
In after years for memory's hand to CLEAN.
Down the quiet, sheltered nook,
Still the little babbling brook
So softly sings its soothing lullaby
Fringed with willows hanging DER
Where we fingered on the shore,
When sunset hues We're fading from the sky
Still the sunlight brightly falls
On the tlme-worn cottage walls,
The honeysuckle fingers by the door,
But sad voice in the breeze,
Softly echoed by the trees,
Is whispering, "They will come again nc

Dear old cottage on the hill
Art thou waiting, watching still,
With longing for some dear familiar face?
Do the far-otf early scenes
Shed halo DER thy dreams,
An afterglow that time can ne'er erase?
Tideless time thy cruel wave
Morning skies no more can lave,
But toward the unknown sea is flowing still
Rolling backward nevermore
To youth magic, sunny shore,
And lonely, silent cottage on the hill.

Eugene FieId's Home.
His Many Queer clocks and His Library of Rare
Books,

One should not always judge man by
his house, says writer in st. Nicholas,
but in the case of Eugene Field it seemed
as II his house was part of him. 1t is
an old-fashioned, two-story farmhouse
with wide porch, to which has been
added large circular wing with an out
side chimney such as the southerners love.
AS you enter the hall, you notice an
deliberately ornamented old English tall
clock, of the kind usually known in this
country as ''Grandfather's clock'' 1t is
one of three such clocks in the house;
second stands on stair landing, after the
manner of Longfellow' sold Clock ON the
Stair,' and third was in Eugene Field
sleeping room. The last one has a gong
in it, like country dinner bell, and clangs
the hour with loud metallic ring.
In the same room he had ''freak-
clock, - made entirely of wood, that ticks
like hammer striking hard wood. In
the library there is a quaint little one
made with a see saw-a wee boy and girl
sitting upon a log to regulate the pendu-
lum. This is a very well behaved little
piece of mechanism, as it makes no noise
and is really pretty. Contrasted with it
standing near Fields writing table, is
plain New England kitchen clock, such as
our grandmothers used in their light, airy
kitchens. 1t is medium sized affair of
mahogany with glass door, ON the lower
half of which are painted impossible red
roses and forget me-nots. 1t is a good
old domestic clock, and went on faithful
ly ticking away when the Others were
cranky and would not keep the time reg
ularly.
AS you enter the house, the library is
on the left hand. All around the walls of
the room are bookcases. Suppose we look
at the case beyond the window, which
might be called the family corner. Here
are gathered books of fairy lore from all
parts of the world, for there was hardly
an old bookstore in London, Paris or
Berlin which Mr.. Field did not know we'll.
In this wonderful fairy corner are Cos
sack fairy tales, eastern fairy tales, leg
ends of the French provinces, legends of
Ireland, Norway, Germany, Spain, New
England and all the modern English fairy
stories.

Our newspapers, with few exceptions,

one prominent minister how was it posi-

such fraud. He replied, to my astonish-

After talking with all sorts and conditions
of men both in the East and the West |
am sure of one thing-that there is pro-
fund ignorance on the silver question on
the part of millions of misguided men,
and depth of depravity and wicked
righteousness on the part of some who
know better that is hard to match in all
history. 1t seems to me little short of a
crime for the Secretary of the Treasury
to begin coming silver at the rate of So
GOO, 600 month when there are hundreds
of millions already in the minis that can
not be got into circulation. The tamper-
ing with principles for the sake of parti-
sanship is a curse that must be shaken off.
The conditions of the West and South,
aud to some extent the East, are the
natural and inevitable outcome of placing
policy above principle. Had the church
been as active in sending the gospel to the
West as she has been in placing invest
ments of an earthly nature there, we
should not be SO troubled to- day on ques-
lions which are matters of honesty.

Two distinguished scholars flourish

CLUB STOCKING.
The ornamental in golfing has found
an outlet in the golf stocking, which ap-
pears this year in immense variety.
Women have always had fine selec-
ton. but men have been limited. ms
year they can choose between long ana
short. tight and loose, plain and plaid
and can even have little extras added IN
the way of fastenings. Carriers or no
garters, below the knee or above, roiled
or fiat, and visible garters or Invisible

ings reaches far above the knee ana
rolled over until it lies in tight elastic
fiat band below the knee and above the
calf of the leg. To accomplish this roll
the stocking is doubled inside. then out
side. then inside, and finally turned
over in a very effective broad band. On
a well-shaped leg it needs no other fast-
ening. But those who are nervous IN
matters of toilet can fold snug garter
in the stocking and have tight band
below the knee The fold must be prac-
tised until it can be well done, and when
perfected 1t must lie as even and firm
as though it were stitched in place.
There is a young man of foreign ex-
traction whose business 1t is to go TO
Lenox every spring and afterwards 10
Newport to act as sort or valet TO the
golfers. He remains in the golf club
until the last man has started out WIN
his caddy trotting at his side, and ne is
held personally responsible for the tie OF
the shoes and the folds on the stocking:
He tutors the men in the art OF gOlL
dressing. Later in the afternoon ne
takes his place at the links to assist in
the golf instruction. He is the assist
ant golf instructor OF certain famous
golf club. He holds golf dressing an
high esteem, and though at home ne
was honored by playins match eoH
game before the royal family, he con-
siders the rolling of golf stockings none
beneath him
Every year there are new things IN
golfing. One of the newest of TINS year
is a new cleek. A cleek is a long IRON
driver for getting the ball through long
grassThe new cleek has dogwood nam
die. and is liked by those who want the
latest improvements in everything.

sportiest game, and the hostess help
the piazza and the carpet.
The healthful golfers and the flnical
ones are greatly pleased by the discov-
cry OF the arti-wool stockings. These
are for people who cannot bear wool
next their feet in August weather. The
new stocking is footless one. 1t has
a strap going under the foot like a
child's Logging, but there is nothing in
the way of heel or sole. A man pulls
On his socks and pulls this golf Logging
over them. The legs are bright plaid,
or ray, or black, or blue, as he likes,
and no ore is the wiser for the fact that
he has kept his legs IN good Scotch
wool without putting his foot in the
scratchy, clinging material. These foot
less stockings come for both men and
women, but woman's golf stockings are
not as heavy as mems, and it is not
likely that the golf Logging will be
wanted except by those who go in for
all the newest things.
Mems golfng trousers have the box
bottoms of riding suits. This box bot
tom is broad band of melton cloth,
going around the leg under the knee
and buttoning tightly. 1t is very be-
coming TO a well-turned calf, but some
thing too awful to picture for one that
isn't cureved according to Hobarts line
OF leg beauty.
The bloomer trouser will always be

they can pull it up over the knee and
rest the muscles of the leg. But, really
it isn't as ultra-fashionabie this year as
the box bottom.

be from three to five pounds. That OF

They were not manufactured stockings,
