HOW THE POLKA ORIGINATED Bohemian Servant Danced About the Kitchen to Lighten Her Work, and Composer Noticed. The origin #f tho polka haw Just been dlsoovered. H is said 011 good authority that the dance originated in one of the little villages of Bohemia, where a aervant, thing of her work in the kitchen, thought to make It lighter by dancing around the kitchen and singing at the samo time. The mis tress of the house overheard her and called hor into the parlor, where aha was asked to dunce tho peculiar atep over again. A musician by the name of Neruda was present and he some time later wrote music for tho step. The name polka comes from the Czech language, meaning half step. In 1839 the polka was Introduced Into Vienna and It made a great suc cess. The writers of the popular mu sic of the day adapted It Immediately to their work. Tho polka was danced on the stage In Paris fpr the fy*pt time at the Odeon In 1840, and from the stage It passed to the drawing room. Don't You Remember? The love of reminiscence Is d$oj> rooted In us. We do not need to have length of years in order to possess it. All we need to have Is a consciousness of the past as past. Some years ago a little friend of mine, then four years old, attained a iiew phrase, "Don't you remember?" I say "attained," because It was evident that she hud not $>nly enlarged, her Held of expression by a new woril, but that' she had enlarged her field of experience by a new sensa tion? the sensation of reminiscence. .For tlte phrase,*"Don't you remem ber?" always ushered in a story out of her small past, some event of the preceding winter or summer, some glimpse of history In which she had been actor witness. It was always' ut tered with 'shining eyes and a flush of delight, which deepened if I was able to catch her reminiscence and recog nize and enjoy it with her. Yet the things remembered were veVy simple ? a drlvet a walk, a kitten, & child wa tering his garden or falllhg down. The pleasure came, clearly, not from the original quality of the experience, but was tasting the pure pleasuro of remi niscence. Watching her, I foil to won dering what was the precious quality of this pleasure whose flavor she was beginning to taste. ? Atlantic Monthly Change in the Ppstman. This small boy, three and one-halt years old, was accustomed to meet the postman and get the letters foi the family. He and the postman we're friends and the postman always had a smile and pleasant word for him. But one morning when the post man came around he Neither smiled at the boy nor said' a word to him; he Just handed the letters over the gate to him and passed bh, which was a great surprise to the boy; The fact was that this, was another postman, taking that morning- the. place of the regular man on this route, but the small boy wasn't qtUte old enough tc realize it. This new postman wore the same nnifonp. carried the same bag, was just like the other man in every way, except as to his face.
