Again there's sound Of scrubbing,
Again the floors are bare,
And soap and whitewash odors
Are floating through the air.
There's trouble in the kitchen,
Confusion in the hall,
For women are housecleaning-
They do t every fall.

Are lurking on the stairs,
And woe to weary hubby
Who's taken unawares
There's paint in rash profusion,
But it is never seen
Until the clothes are showing
Big stains Of brown or green.
Tacks here and there are scattered,
And words we can't repeat
Are heard when they are sticking
In some poor victims feet.
The furniture is shifted
To unaccustomed place,
And IN the dusk it bruises
The unsuspecting face.
On clotheslines heavy carpets
In dusty silence hang
Put there for worried hubby
To pull and turn and bang.
In vain he makes excuses.
Complains of pain in head.
For they must all be busted
Before ne goes to bed.
There's little time for cooking.
And hungry wights must wait
In spite of all their protests
Against a meal so late
And should we ask the reason
Of anger 'mong the men,
We get this explanation

New York, Sept. 1.-Evening Posts
london financial ca blegram:
THE very bad weather of today damp
ened all the stock markets which closed
dull on the withdrawal Of a large amount
of gold from the Bank of England for
Russia or Austria, it Is uncertain which.
The Indian government has stopped the
scale of council drafts for ten weeks on
account of the state of their balances in
India. This means a higher exchange
rate, with possible gold exports when
exchange touches 16d. These two points
may cause q rise in the bank rate to-
morrow, but [ will not express a strong
opinion on this. Until the gold with
drawals were known the governm ent
had anticipated no rise in the bank rate.
Now it is an even chance, but 1 should
say That rise of I'D would have no bad
effect on the markets and a rise of J. per
cent. very little effect. Americans were
good during the day and closed easy
with nothing doing.
The Paris bourse was dull much of the
day, but closed better, No difficulties 50
far have appeared in the settlement. The
Berlin market was quiet.
