WHEN THE SNOW FALLS


Ay city home II very fair to see.
And In . measure It Is dear to me,
But oh. the dear old times!
Now when winds wall and snow Is falling

As At no other time. from out the past
Youth rings sweet memory chimes.
I see the brown old house upon the hill
The coasting hill so smooth and whlte-the
mill
Where father earned our bread.
Again haste from school at close Of day
With empty pan along the snowy way
In cap and mittens red.
And when at length In weary hungry
plight
! reached my mothers kitchen warm and
bright.
A sense Of peace and rest
Filled all my boyish being. for knew

Made that place rich and blest

No costly service nor attendance there.
But oh. my mothers food!
And fathers face across the bounteous

plored)

When weary father took his well-earned

And mother too. as WELL

And apples crisp and red.

EXECUTED ENGLISH,
Queer Perversion of the Word "Lnun-
dry" hN Arle rIcrnA.

the "
dry" by Americans.
Queer turns the abuse of the English
language will take on the American con-
tinent as well MS Ia the neart of the Brit
ish capital. The other day, from the
passageway where a certain domestic
assistant occasionally goes to make in.
quiries of the mistress Of the house. the
listener heard this question asked:
Are they any laundry?"
What the woman meant, put into the
fewest plain words, was this: rs there
a parcel to go to the laundry?" The
phrase was pure American, and was
used by native of our great and glo-
rious country. Among some of the peo-
pie the word laundry" means not mere
ly the place where washing is done. but
the articles washed, taken collectively.
Not long ago the listener saw in the win
dow of mans furnishing store-beg
pardon; gents furnishing store-a
placard which read: Don't forget to
leave your laundry!"
This perversion of the ancient word
"lavendery" takes curiously different
turn from Sir Hugh Evans use OF the
word in "The Merry Wives of Windsor:"
There dwells one Mistress Quickly.
which is in the manner of his nurse. or
his dry-nurse, or his cook. or his laun-
dry, his washer, and his wringer."
And it somehow seems less absurd to
call an animated washer and wringer
laundry" than the things washed and
wrung.-Boston Transcript.

In the dark days Of 81 three brothers
responded to President LincOIn's call
for troops They came from a quiet
farm hcme in one Of the northern cOun-
ties Of Indiana. Ali Of them left home
for the battlehelds with a mothers
bles sing on their heads, but the mothers
heart went out especially to heyOung-
est, "her baby" He was but a boy Of 10
% whom the hard work Of the farm had
always been more Of a burden than his
fraiI body could bear, and for that rea-
son he was made much Of by the other
members Of the family. But men were
needed, her sons thought it their place
70 90, and It was not her part to stand
in the way Of their duty to their cOun-
try.
Month after month wore away. The
mother watched anxiOusly for each
mail, and was occasionally rewarded
with a letter, always from her baby"
He told her Of his brothers, Of the army,
Of their camp life, of their marches and
their battles, but Of himself he told her
little except that he was as well as usual.
But the mother read between the lines.
The hardshiPs Of campaigning was
wearing away cher baby's'' health and
how she lOnged for him.
And then one day a letter came from
Hiram. His brother, the mothers
baby" was III, and they would send
him home to hex. She could feel al
