Rustic Furniture.

Near the border of Moosehead lake, in
Maine, is a picturesque little logholise,
built by four women. They sawed their
own lumber, selecting spruce trees with
their pretty bark as the most even and
attractive: 1t took eighty logs to COM
piete the house and the women went log
ging every day for six weeks to get them.
The flooring was of boards and the
climbing, or filling in the cracks between
the logs which formed the walls, was
done with tough moss obtained from
around the roots of old trees and rocks.
and hammered into place.
complete little desk, with drop
front, pigeonholes for documents and ev-
erything handy and complete inside was
in the rough: the table was smooth on
top and had the rustic finish on the Sides
while the chairs were formed into invit-
ing and comfortable armchairs by means
of gnarled branches and roots, which
curved sufficiently to give the required
easy-chairs and sofa. A bookcase was
also finished in rustic style. For the
porch they made large easy-chair, and
the horseback for dismounting from a
horse or carriage was made of one piece
of the trunk of a large tree, with high
supports formed from little saplings.

A Sea Lyric,

A Sea Lyric.
Rainland q robin singing
In the gnarled old apple tree:
And lazy south wind bringing
A bells sad note to me.
Rain-and n song of gladness
When the grass grows green once more,
And sea voice full of sadness
That sobs along the shore.
Rain-and a fisher maiden
OF her sailor sweetheart sings; -
And the bell with sorrow laden
Far down the harbor rings..s
Rain-in the leaves about her
IT'S the robin hears her song;
And the sea knell for her lover
Tolls-Oh, the years are long!

coctcd to Bring Her to Terms.
George Hudson thought there was no
one in the world so good as Madeline
Norwood. To his way of thinking nothing
could be compared with her except. per-
haps. one of the angels In heaven.
One day they had a difference. In high
temper he took his hat and went out of
the house, saying as he went I'm go
| away and never come back
But Madeline only laughed. The idea
that George could get along without her
did not even make a dent in her imag-
nation. The thought of how he would
come back amused her greatly.
She knew she would not like him to
bow before her, plead with her and be
submissive. No. that wouldn't do
Crushed would be her ideal OF manly
strength. He had always been her gem
eral and she his next in rank.
And yet thought she, II couldn't go
to him and say it's all right. That
would make me least in rank OF all the
army, and that which we hold in common
would fade away"
Early next morning the bell rang Wig
orously. Madeline was dressed In a
handsome gown of light blue. George

A LAND WITHOUT TRAMPS.

Why do we never see tramp in Ger many?
 There are poor people enough and many must be out of a job now and then. Yet Germany is a nation with out tramps. Is America a poorer coun- try, that we count our tramps by the tens of thousands?
 I once visited a so-caIled tramp col ony, near Bielefeld, Westphalia, guided by an expert in such matters, Dr.. Hintzpeter, who was for many years tutor to the emperor. Here l was told the secret of tramp eXtermination. Ger many allows no man to prowl about the country without giving an account of himself.

greater compliment. Mrs. Chamber lain we still and always shall regard as the embodiment of all that is delightful in American womankind, and the best representative of hsr Puritan ancest- ors. Always with her husband, either at home on the platform or in the gallery of the House of Comons, she has invesed her political life with a charm and a sentiment that are quite unique, and while keenly interested in every question, she has never Vulgarized her political ideals, nor descended to the lower arena into which some English women degrade their political sympa- thies. The early death of Lord Ran dolph Churchill while on the threshold of the highest political position in this country, deprived Lady Randolph of the position which she must eventu- ally have occupied, for she at one mo- ment seemed bound to become the wife of the future prime minister of Eng land. Never was the promise of life so blighted as hIs, and the malady which so insidiously undermined his life was one of the most unerring and fatal

DRESS ON OCEAN STEAMERS.

The time has passed when any old clothes that a traveller might possess were accounted good enough for an ocean voyage. Indeed, the dressing of passengers on some ocean liners has recently become so elaborate that per sons looking for ease and informality are alarmed at the rapidity with which the former ideas on this subject are changing.
 'I crossed on one of the big ocean liners in May said a New Yorker who had just returned from Europe, "and three quarters of the m=n put on ev- ening dress for dinner. The crowd on New Workers, and among them were a number more or less conspicuous in s5- cisty. My first impulse after the first night at dinner was to follow the eX- ample of others and put on evening dress the next night. But I thought the matter over and decided I would attempt nothing so absurd. Besides, I thought that the number of men in ev- enng dress might be considerably re- duced. But my hope was not realized. It was the English, who boast of their common sens5 method of travel, who began this thing. The first men I ever saw In evening dress on a steamer were two young Englishmen on their way to this country. And dressing is still most elaborate on those steamers patronized by the English.-New York Sun.
