THE HOUSE WHERE | WAS BORN.

They were happy days-God rest them
for my feet had ne'er been
straying
Where the soul is bruised and broken
by the brambles Of turmoil;
Meier the long years Of anxiety my tenn
pies had been graying,
Nor, my weary form bowed earthward
meath the heavy hand Of toll;
Earth was then a wonder palace. From
the eastern window gazing
beheld the new moon hanging like
shining silver horn;
And far down upon the heavens bright
the evening star was blazing;
Both were shining, just to please me,
DER the house where l was born.
I have passed from it forever. All the
wonder and the glamour
or the little eastern window from the
world have worn away;
I have seen it's disappointment; l have
heard it's empty clamor;
And the house l once thought wonder
ful-how pitiful to-day!
But who knows? Perhaps eternity may
bring a realizing
OF the things my fancy painted over
childhood's early morn;
And, mayhap, the gift Of prophecy was
after all, arising
In my heart when l lay dreaming in
the house where l was born.

Bismarck and His Dogs.

Each year during my stay Bismarck
gave a dinner to the diplomatic corps
on the Emperor's birthday. The ia
BILE was set then, as now, in the great
hall of the Chancellor's palace-the
hall in which the Conference of Berlin
was held after the Itusso-Turkish war.
The eliminating point Of each dinner
was near it's close when the Chancellor
rose and, after O. brief speech in
French, proposed the health Of the
heads of all the states there repre-
scented. This was followed by a toast
to the health of the Emperor, given by
the senior member Of the diplomatic
corps and shortly after came an adj
journment for coffee and cigars. One
thing was, at first sight, somewhat
startling: IS Bismarck arose to pro-
pose the toast, the big black head Of a
Danish dog appeared upon the table
on each side of him; but the bearing
of the dogs was so solemn that they
really detracted nothing from the dig
nifty of the occasion.-From Andrew
D. Whites Chapters from My Diplo-
matte Life" in the Century.

New Uses for the Potato.

To-day Germany fairly rivals Ireland
with it's potato crop and outdoes most
other countries. Fully an eighth Of the
arabic land Of the empire is planted to
this nutritious vegetable. Half the
large yield is used directly as human
food; a considerable other portion is
given over to fattening stock There
still remains an enormous surplus after
that, however, and it is the success
with which the Germans have met in
turning this surplus into manufacture
ing products that is most remarkable.
Among these manufactured products
are starch, glucose, potato flour, dex-
trim and starch sugar, each Of which
appears prominently on the list Oh Ger
man exports, all together contributing
large sums every year to the profits
OF German manufacturers and export
ers. But the alcohol which the Ger
mans make from the potato is the most
valuable and wonderful product Of ali.
This, as light producer, fairly rivals
the electric current, it is said.
The apparatus for it's practical use
includes lamps, chandeliers, street and
corner lights, in which alcohol vapor is
burned like gas in hooded flame, COW
cred by a Welsbach mantle. So used,
potato alcohol Is described as burning
with an incandescent flame equaling
the electric light in brilliancy. Indeed,
we are officially told now by our Con-
sui General at Berlin that potato alco-
hol is competing with gas and cleo
tricity with increasing success every

Round the little old deserted house the
noisome weeds are growing,
And the wind unhindered wanders
through the broken eastern door;
Every rafter, beam and sash and finger
marks of Time is showing,
And Decay is running riot DER the rub
bish-covered floor.
g7are q rotting pillar staggers; there an
aged beam is falling;
Over yonder says the mantelpiece, de-
jected and forlorn;
g,here Is helplessness pathetic and the
voice of Old Age calling
From each crumbling bit of mortar In
the house where I was born.
Rere before the ancient fireplace, where
the dust of years is lying,
FIRST saw the future pictured as
watched the embers glow;
sEere I lay in boyish dreaming, while
the shadows fitting, flying,
Were a hundred ghosts of fancy as
they wandered to and fro;
T4lttlo knew I of the universe which
spread itself around me
I'm a canopy of azure and sea OF
waving corn;
all my world was on the hearthstone
where my childhood dreaming
found me;
was king-and my dominion was the
house where l was born.

CITY CROWDlNG.
1t IL an Important Factor I'm the
Present Growth of Crime.

1t Is an I'm ortant Factor I'm the
Present Growth of Crime.
The modern crowding Of the popula-
ton into cities is a factor of the first
Importance. Enthusiasts extravaganza
ly praise the virtues of country popu-
lations, and as extravagantly dispar-
age the moral condition of cities. This
excites contradiction, and in the con-
troversy the fact is overlooked that
profound changes, some beneficial and
others pernicious, have been and are
being silently brought by the aggrega-
ton into cities of so large part Of
the population. We are entering upon
the third generation of hotbed city
life. The offspring of those whose oc-
equations are sedentary, who use stim
ulants, lead irregular and excited lives,
must, with few exceptions, suffer from
inherited irritability Of the nervous
system. An abnormal strength and
eccentricity Of impulse must be the re-
suit and this is fostered by city life.
A lamentable change has passed over
the country with regard to the learning
Of trades. Most temperaments re-
quire manual labor in the earlier years
of active life and much exercise at all
periods. Labor unions determine the
number of apprentices which may be
taken, and this number is so small that
it is impossible for the large majority
of growing boys to secure either the
knowledge of trades Or the physical
and mental benefits of steady employ
ment. Counting rooms and shops are
crowded with applicants for every va
cant place, while thousands are left to
roam the streets, having neither trade,
profession, nor knowledge of business.
The struggle for success in society,
finance, politics, literature, applied sci
ence, and art grows more fierce as the
cities grow larger; the prosperous have
often paid too dear for the whistle;"
those who fail are, according to tenn
permanent, respondent or desperate,
and the consequence is a steady pro-
cession to the sanatOrium OF the pris-
mantle, pampered youth of both sexes
is incompatible. If the country often
underestimate, the city oftener over
estimates; and the prematurely blase
youth is in an abnormal condition
which feeds upon itself. Under such
circumstances the very qualities
which made a good man may make his
son curse to the ommunity.-Cen-

The Morning Hurry.

AS far as is possible we should avoid
the hurry and furry that usually pre-
cedes the slam of the front door, as the
children get off to school. 1t Is diff
cult to manage, there Is no doubt The
mother dislikes, more taan anything
else, perhaps, waking he- child out of
a sound sleep, and this often has to be
done If he is to have his breakfast and
dress properly before school. Usually
she leaves him till the very last minute,
If he Is sleeping, and then a hastily
eaten breakfast and hurry and hustle
to get off is the result. This can only
be obviated satisfactorily by instituting
earlier hours for going to bed, that the
child may wake early as a natural
thing.
In many homes, even without the
late sleeping, there is hurry in the
morning. The children are allowed to
get into lazy habits and procrastinate
to an exasperating and injurious de-
gree Then, as the moment approaches
when the leaving for school can be no
longer delayed, there is undue anxiety
on the part of the mother and a scene
Of excitement that Is good for neither
mother nor children.
Mother, where's my cap?" II can't
find my geography where Is that

strap?" Such EXPLANATIONS are familiar
to the mother and, occurring at the
eleventh hour, are source of trouble
and veXation.
Orderly habits are eminently to be
desired and should be inculcated; but,
small children, and indeed big ones,
are fallible in this direction, and I'M
less everything IS put ready to hand
the night before there are bound to be
some losses in the morning. And the
mother who gives too much oversight
is as bad in her way as the careless
mother; she trains her children to In
competence and responsibility. Each
child should feel that he is responsible
for his own clothes and his own books,
and after time, when he has expert
enced the discomfort Of q prolonged
search at the last moment, or the loss
of something which he really needs, he
will learn that the easiest thing Is to
be tidy.
Send the children from the door with
happy faces; and let them see your
own smiling face as the last look Is
given. The best digester for break
fast and the best preparation for school
work are happy, light-hearted minds
and smiling countenances as parting
vision-Health Culture.

The Ubiouitous Flea.

She was pretty and winsome little

it was night in England when it was

Stains on Black ClOth-Can often be

Stains on Marble-Can often be re-
moved by rubbing with salt; rinse af'
forwards, and polish with soft cloth
For Tender Feet.-Mend your stock
ings with silk, instead Of wool, If you
are troubled with tender feet. The silk
does not chafe the skin.
Ironing SEARCHED Things.-If you
want to prevent your fatiron sticking
rub it, after heating and before begin
ming to iron, on a board well sprinkled
with bathbrick.
Black and Dark Cloth-Can be fresh
ened by sponging with equal parts Of
water and spirits of turpentine. After
sponging iron on the wrong side, and
then hang in the air to remove any
suggestion of turpentine.
Getting Up Lace.-Never rinse white
lace in blue water under the impress
sion that this will improve the color.
Real lace should be finally rinsed in
skim milk, which will give it the soft,
creamy tint so much admired.
Effective Pressing-Is one of the Sc
crets Of good home dressmaking. A
badly pressed thing never looks well.
For cloth, or any thick material,
damped cloth laid over the seams when
ironing will help to make them lie fiat.

The women of the East, taking their
cue from the sisters of the West, are
beginning to realize that there are ca

the question Of how they shall appear
