ANYWHERE.
She was old and wan and wrinkled,

She was old and wan and wrinkled,
Though her pallid cheek was fair,
And the SHOWS of sixty winters
Lightly touched her soft brown hair
Yet, if in those lands immortal
She doth youth and beauty wear
And the sunny hues of girlhood
Tint anew her eyes and hair,
Still know that should know heri
should know her anywhere!
Shall dwell in mournful waiting,
Mother, for thee cover there"
While Gods blessed angels daily
Wander down the sai'iing siairf
Round and sweet know your lips are,
Kindlcd by that radiant mir,
Oh, the sad and tender patience
OF the smile they used TO wearl
| should know your kisses. motheri
should know them anywhere!
Should you touch me, eer so lightly,
As returning spirits dare,
And your spirit hand should linser
Fer so softly on my hair
Hands, dear hands, by death made over,
No more wrinkled, wan or spare;
Hands which have kissed so fondly
Darling hands 50 used to care
l should know your touch. dear notherl
should know il anywhere!
Had been the first to wander
From earth's dust ami din and glare,
Thrilling through my lips new splendor,
should still have felt your prayer.
Ana If spirit hands could do it.
Pausing not oshink or care.
4 should rend the veil that hid you
And with you my glory share.
Oh, my mother, darling mother,
should love you anywherel

THE VOICE ABOVE.

lost on the drift. and where the full clouds
flow
The steep above him looms,
And strong winds out of distant regions blow
The snow in streaming plumes,
And yawns the gulf of the crevasse below
In sapphire glows and glooms.
Along the precipice there is no way
That he may surely tread.
Slight is his foothold on the slippery stay
That trembles to his tread,
And chill and terrible the dying day
Falls fast about his head.
Could he but hear some lowing Of the herd,
Some mountain bell ring clear,
If some familiar sound one moment stirred
To guide him lost in feari
He dares not move. Some beckoning leading
word,
Alas, could he but heart
In those waste places Of the earth and dim
No star shines forth at all.
Through awful loneliness enshrouding him
He gives one shuddering call,
While horror of great darkness seems to swim
And fold hir in its pail
Then like blown breath Of music In the height
A cry comes far and low.
He thrills he springs, he gathers all his might
He feels new pulses glowl
His fathers voice-he needs not sense nor sightl
He knows the way to goi

The F,rst IJse of Field Music.

Gustave Kohbe writes an article on
ssThe Trumpet In Camp and Battle for
The Century. Mr.. Kobbe says:
Tho first use of field music of which we
have absolutely authentic information was
at the battle Of Bouvines, that village OF
French Flanders where tho French have
won no fewer than three victories Philip
Augustus defeating Otto ~ of Germany
there in 1914. Philip of Valois defeating
the English there in 1910, while in 1894
the French defeated the Austrians at the
same place. 1t was at Bouyines in 1914
that trulnpets sounded the signal for tho
victorious French charge, the first authen
tic instance of command given by a
trumpet call

HAWTHORNE IN BERKSHIRE.

Your streams wild wandering, ever tranquil
lakes,
And forests that make mlrmur like the sea,
And this keen air that from the hurt soul
takes
Its pain and Ianguorl Doubly dear sc are
For many lofty memory that throws
A splendor on these heights. Meath yon low
star.
That like a dewdrop melts in heavens rose,
Dwelt once starry spirit There he smote
Life from the living hills. A little while
He rested from the raging of the world.
This Brook of Shadows whose dark waters
purled
Solace to his deep mind, it felt his smile
Haunted. esa melancholy, and remote.

BROOM COVERS.

ANNABELLE WILSON.

Conveniences Which Tighten the Work
of Sweeping Day.
In ye olden time when cleaning day
came round the maid tied her apron or
a duster round the broom and swept
diligently till the cloth came off and
readjustnent was necessary. This was
usually made with nIuttered grumblings
about the tires6me old thing, and by
the time the grulabIings were over the
cloth was reticd, the sweeping again
commenced and was continued till all
was again loose and the tying had to be
repeated
The broom cover does away with all
this difficulty. 1t washes admirably, can
be made singly or in sets of 2, 4, or
IL, according to the probabilities of
changing required, and is equally desir-
able for walls or polished floors, which
it sweeps much more easily than does
the uncovered broom 1t forms most
useful gift from thrifty housekeeper to
herself or to friend.
There is SO little work that the de-
scription takes almost as long as the ac-
tual making. The proper material is the
Funniest canton flannel which can be
found. The shape is plain bag, with
drawstrings at top and double rutfle let
in at the bottom.
The bag part is cut 20 inches wide
by 20 inches deep, the ruffle inches
wide by 18 or 20 inches long. When
completed, the cover is IL inches wide
and Is inches deep, exclusive of the
ruffle, which is ~ inches wide
