A New Years ode.

AoH glad New Year is here again.
With rain and snow and ice;
~ With water in the cellar, and
The roof a-leaking nice.
That highway robber he will call
To get his rent today;
And you'll get notice to get out
If cash you cannot pay.
The coal is out, but when you go
To get some more or bust;
You'll find sign before your nose
A-telling of no trust.
The butcher won't be slow;
The cobbler says you owe him one,
And that's the way twill go.
Your barber will expect a tip
Also the butchers lad;
Likewise the man who leaves the ice.
And she who cooks so bad.
The milkman he will tip his hat
A quarter tbs tip;
The lady scrubber she'll expect
You just as deep to dip.
But lands alive. why should we care
For tribes small as SIGH;
When New Years comes but once a year,
And our old dad is rich?
Go out and shout and boiler some.
And wave your hat-and then;
Begin to make your little dates
An even figure 10.

Restoring Old Furniture.

Old furniture in the care of modern housemaid is often disappointing. There may be a gloss on the old mahogany chest but it is the gloss of too much furniture polish. If the finger Is rubbed along the top of Queen Anne table with its feather inlay and it's rich coloring smear is probably left which is not so much sign of carelessness as it is of the hurry and rush to complete work which succeeds in detracting from it's ap- pearance.
 The less polish the better where ans tiques are concerned. Old oak and other wood always require more elbow grease than that application. Sweet oil. spar ingly applied. Is, however excellent for antique mahongany. If a flannel is dipped in the oil 1t should be rubbed over the wood, the surface having been first of all well dusted. Stains and spots on old mahogany can be taken out by dipping q cork in oxallc acid and water and working 1t over the marks. Two ounces of yellow beeswax dissolved in the same quantity of spirits of turpentine repre- sents another good medium for mahog- any.
 One of the best methods of cleaning old oak is to dust it well In the first instance and then to rub 1t with flannel dipped in mixture of beeswaX, oil and spirits of turnentine Many people, however. never allow beeswax to touch a Jacobean chest or armchair which Is richly carved, and believe in wiping it well over with beer-made very hot-and leaving it to sink into the furniture overnight. polish ing it in the morning with a soft duster.
 To remove the stains on old French furniture which is painted white a flannel moistened with kerosene will usually prove successful, while antique gilt chairs and girandoles should be sponged with a mixture of garlic and sulphur in order to restore the original gloss and bril- liancN.

New Regime at National Cap
 ital.

With the new year begin the official re- captions and Functions in Washington, and Mrs Taft has made many innova- tons in the programme. She will not be present at many of the larger state af- fairs, but all their details will be under her immediate supervision, and she Is ex- pected to receive by appointment on two or three afternoons each week dur ing the season.
 There will be no social secretary in the sense applied to the position created dur ing the Roosevelt regime, and the invita- tions to the diplomatic, judicial, congress sional and army and navy functions will be limited. not by elimination, but by asking different guests to each. Thus will they be made more distinctive. Refresh- ments will be served-a thing that has not been done since President Hayes administration, but Mrs. Taft has been so long in official life in Washington that she Is an adept in the art of arranging and reforming the White House pro- gramme, and Miss Boardman, who suc- ceeds Miss Blech as her secretary, will not have the same powers as did @ social secretary in the day of Mrs. Roose- yelt

When you were little bitty,'' don you remember how you just longed to go out to the Gypsy camps on the outskirts of the town and have your fortune told |? I always had my mind made up that if I ever got to be a "grown-up" I'd cer- tainly. steal away some bright day and seek the counsel of these romantic and interesting people, if they happened to be about, and that is one of the reasons that Bettina and I ma le a pilgrimage not very long ago to Gypsy camp that held forth not many miles from this burg.
 Don't you think it is about time that we were having our fortunes told again?" I asked Bettina one beautiful, bright, sunshiny morning.
 "The last things have never come true,' she said, lackidaisically. "The clairvoyant I went to told me that I was going to marry a millionaire, if you remember, and I haven't been in speaking distance for six months of a<man who had money enough to buy horse and buggy, much less touring car. In fact, 1 don't be- lieve there are any millionaires any more, anyway, except perfectly good 'marrieds' like MT Rockefeller and MT. Carnegie and Diamond Jim Brady"
 But this Is a brand new system not the Pittman,'' I exclaimed.
 ''You mean Gypsies,' she said delight edly.
 "Of course" I said. and at that we jumped in Bettinas big new Peerless" and dashed over hill and dale until we came to the Gypsy camp.
 We found the tribe safely ensconced within a field that was posted against tresspassers ana so we spent some min utes trying to decide whether it would be dignified to climb over the fence or under it, when Bettina said:
 1T refuse to do either if there's COW about. for they are dangerous animals, natural history to the contrary notwith- standing"
 That's a collie dog,' I said, as I espied the object of Bettina's dread Hes probably the mascot of the camp.
 There were several tents and punches of Gypsies round about, and big schooner like wagons piled with hay from the back of which the docile horses ate con- tentedly of hay. Lots of people-coun- trymen-had stopped their horses and overlooking 1ongingly at the camp while Bettina vented her feelings by saying;
 where is the Gypsy queen?'
 Gaily dressed Gypsy children yielded cleaning axes and chased around com ing painfully near Us in their gyrations when a handsome young countryman said with the freemasonry which developes among Americans wherever they meet:
 you'd better watch out! There's no tellin' what them furriners is likely to do.''
 Just then a small boy clad In velvet suit like little Lord Fauntelroy used to wear, and long black curls, emerged from one of the tents and Bettina said:
 Behold the Banished Duke!
 Closely following upon his tracks came a large robust looking Gypsy woman and some one announced:
 "The queen

Early Rising a Good Habit.

People who have much to do and many interruptions may we'll try to establish the custom of early rising. It may be hard to do at first, says Katherine Moody Spalding. <
 Time and again people have amazed us with the amount of work they have accomplished daily, though apparently having plenty of leisure. The secret is explained when-their early hours of ris- ing are learned.
 The busy housewife s lucky if she can get an hour before the family are up in which to do her baking for the day. or some of, her sewing or anything else which will not disturb the sleepers, for one thing to be gained is the opportunity of being alone and thus undisturbed.
 Of course, when the house is small and sounds of sewing machine would be heard in the sleeping rooms it is doubt ful if that work would be>advisable. How ever. the average family should be up for a breakfast together by z o'clock.
 The trouble with us is that we do not go to bed early enough at night. Nature demands so much sleep and we cannot neglect that without harm to ourselves.
