WRIGHT. a \ The rain had fallen all day in a ! thick, heavy drizzle, but the man laz- j ily sauntering along the avenue with ! his hands in his pockets, did not seem j to mind it in the least. He was a big. j burly fellow, with a shaggy beard and j small, bloodshot eyes. His hat, pulled 1 low over his forehead, was minus part i of the crown; his coat was out at the j elbows and. his shc~j pcre out at the j toes. His gaze wandered to a big I placard that was fastened to a gate beside him. It read as follows: "TO CALLeRs. We ARe HOMe ALOXe. TLeAse COMe RiCHT iN THiXGs TO eAT UP sTAiRS." The man stared hard at it. then i looked wonderingly at the house. It ; was a large old-fasioned dwelling with j wide porches and a vestibuled en- | trance. From an upper window peered j two anxious little faces. The man j looked from them to the placard again. He reread it slowly. " 'We are at home?alone! Please come?right in!' By Jingo!" he exclaimed aloud, "that means you! Jeremiah Todd, my boy, that means you! 'Things to eat?upstairs.' " he continued. "Humph! I like that?sounds l.cspitable." He looked cautiously along the avenue, but nobody seemed watching, and closed the gate behind him. The children's faces had disappeared from the window, and in the playroom a little girl was Clinging to her brother. "Oh, Tom," she sobbed, "I'm so TIipto \vr?e t\ litmn in the> hov'fi OW11 ! throat, but he manfully choked It down. "He's come a calling, Ethel," he said, "and we must be polite. Mother used to have lots of people o:a her days 'at home,' you know." "Were they like that, do you think, Tom?" asked the little girl. "Um?maybe so," he answered i doubtfully. The man walked quickly up the j steps; there was something stealthy j and satlike in his tread. "By speci?il I invitation, Jeremiah Todd," he said to j himself, "and there's silver in that house, I'll bet a cookie!" "Please come right this way." said a timid little voice, and there on the | landing above him stood the children, j hand-in-hand. The tramp stared at them. "Please come right this way," repeated the little voice. "Tom and I are entertaining alone." The man stumbled toward them, and j i.ie little girl held out her hand. I ' We're very glad you've come," she \ said shyly. "You're the first caller that we've had." The tramp became suddenly aware of j his muddy boots and rain-soaked clothing; he almost wished he were on the streets again. Etnel led the way to the playroom. There was a genial warmth from the furnace fire, and everything looked bright and cheery. In the centre of the room stood a table with an embroidered tea-cloth upon it. To be sure, the cloth was much too long, and dragged at both ends, but that did not matter. In the middle was a platter with a crisp roast chicken, garlanded with pepper-leaves. There were jams and jellies and fruit in abundance. "We've never given an 'at home' before, and we don't know just what to do," the little girl said anxiously. "Would you rather have some chicken first, or hear us sing?" "Or see me stand on my head?" asked Tom. The man eyed the table greedily. "I haven't had a thing to eat today," he said. "Wh-y?" exclaimed Ethel. "Did your mother go away too? How funny!" Then she busied herself about the fowl. The tramp ate ravenously. "You're in luck, Jeremiah Todd," he chuckled to himself. The little girl interrupted his thoughts. "Do you always make calls on people's days 'at home?'" she asked. The man started. There had been a time when he had had friends, and had called upon them, too, but it was many years ago and the memory was vague. "No," he answered. Then there was a silence. The children looked perplexed. "Our mother used to have whole lots of people come sometimes," remarked Tom at last. "She sent out little invitations through the mail; we hadn't time, you see, so I put a big one on the gate. Did you ever come to see our mother?" "No," said the tramp again. He had finished his repast, and a pile of orange and banana peel upon his plate showed that he had relished it. Ethel looked anxious. "I'm afraid," she timidly said, "that perhaps you aren't enjoying it. Tom," she continued, turning to her brother, "you'd better stand on your head, and then we'll sing." The boy promptly obeyed, but the tramp scarcely noticed him. "Shall we sing now?" asked the little girl. There was entreaty in her voice,?she was trying so hard to be polite. "There's one song about 'Old Dame Pussy Cat.,' and then there's 'Father, We Thank Thee.' and 'God Loves Everything.' Which would you like?" "I'm afraid," said the man, "that I can't stay. Suppose you take me through the house instead." The children exchanged looks. ironftMllv tolrn lio-r i->a 11 1UULIIC1 UUllt vwiiv iivt vuuers round." Ethel answered. "That because she has so many all at once," said the tramp. His voice was very soft and coaxing, and he edged toward the door. "I'm afraid.' began the little girl again?"I don't believe " The man's hand was on the doorknob. but he paused a moment. "All right," he said, shrugging his | shoulders. "I thought you wanted me I to enjoy myself. If you don't of course " "Oh. we do!" cried Ethel, in despair, r ^e led the way to the next room, i his is where mother sleeps," she said. A watch and some jeweled rings were on the uainty dresser. The tramp walked quickly over to them, then paused and pretended to look at a picture in an oval frame. "That's father and mother." an nounced Tom. "and Ethel and me when we were babies. There's L'our in our: family." "Isn't our father a nice man?" asked , uie little girl. "Yes," answered the man. "Where is he?" The children looked at each other again. "Why, he's dead," said Tom. "I take care of mother and Ethel, you know. Faiiier told me to." The little girl slipped her hand trustingly into her brother's. | "Humph!" ejaculated the tramp. He turned and walked back to the play- 1 room. Just inside the door he paused. "There isn't anything in the house to - to drink, is there?" he asked. | "Tea?" queried Ethel. "Mother always makes it for her friends, but I don't know how." "Xo," replied the tramp, "not that. Isn't there any?er?anything else?" "Why, yes," said Tom, brightening, v..c:c's our milk." He climbed up on a chair and took two tall, slim glasses of creamy milk from a corner cupboard. "Cook put them here when she x ?? went away, ne exui<tuucu. The man looked doubtful, but raised one or the glasses slowly to his lips. Ethel tugged excitedly at her brother's sleeve. "Now, Tom," she whispered, "let's do it now!" She stepped in front of the tramp, and holding ner frock in cither hand, made a quaint courtesy, then began to sing in a shrill childish treble: "There's not a sleepy bridie With its head beneath its wing But God is taking care of, For he loves everything." The man gave her a suspicious look, but the little girl sang on: "There's not a thirsty flowed But finds a drop of dew. For God keeps watch o'er every one, And he is watching you. "He sees us when " The man suddenly put down his glass and turned to the door with a muttered exclamation which the children could r.ot understand. "You're not going?" cried Ethel. "Why, I'm singing for you!" The man did not answer; he walked hurriedly to the staircase. "I'm afraid." she went on, her voice trembling with excitement, "that you haven't had a very happy time after all; but you must come again when mother's ncre. sne aiwa^s imw ^ know our friends." The man's fest sank noiselessly into the padded carpet of the stairs. On the landing he stopped and suddenly turned round; the children were close behind him. "See here, iittle girl," he said roughly, "hold up your frock. There!" He drew out some spoons and forks and dropped them into It; then came the watch and rings, a silver shoehorn, and a vinaigrette. "Why, they're ours!" cried Tom, his eyes growing big in astonishment. "Yes," answered the man, with a forced laugh. "I took 'em?for a joke, you see." The boy's grave eyes regarded him earnestly, but Ethel danced with delight. "How nice and funny you are!" she said; then added, with a happy sigh, "It's just a lovely thing to have a day 'at home!'"?The Household. PEARLS OF TH0J3HT. j Never quit certainty for hope.

"Father," said the oldest son, ! "wouldn't it be well for you to deed your property to us and relieve yourself of the care of it?" "By doing that," continued the second, "we can avoid all trouble when the sad day comes in which we must j part with you." "And then," went on the other, "you can make your home with us, each in j turn, and thus give pleasure to us I all."

Boot* and Prosperity. ; Some years ago I was talking with J one of our leading boot manufaci turers, and himself a very acute man. He told me that long experience had shown him that the sale of boots is a sure barometer of the prosperity of the country, so far as the working class were concerned. If things are j going well people buy new boots when i their old ones have worn out; if the j reverse, they do not, but make shift i without new purchases: And he ini stanced Ireland, where he had a large j trade output, as an instance of this. When, therefore, I hear that the boot business is not flourishing, I know what that means.

No picture should be hung so high j that it is uncomfortable to look at, | though pictures of large design or brill liant coloring look better hung high up ( than down low. A picture with : shadows should have the light side nearest the window when possible, so that the shadows will fall naturally. The stiff effects of "pairs" or "companion" pieces should not be tolerated. There should be no set plan. Pictures appear most artistic when those of dissimilar size, shape and subject find place on corresponding parts of the wall. Mouldings are much better to hang pictures from than nails in the wall, and when suspended from the moulding any number of wire picture cords can be hung from the same brass picture holder.?American Queen. Brooms That Sweep Clean. For hardwood or stained floors and those covered with matting a hair broom should be used. The hardwood floors need to be dusted after sweeping.

Dusters made of cheesecloth with the hems run in are soft to use and wash easily. Old India or foulard silk is tne best thing I have ever tried for bric-a-brac and small articles. All dusters should be washed and dried after using. There is nothing gained by using a cloth filled with dust. It will not make anything clean. If brooms, both large and small, are often washed and uried, then turned up on their hardies, they will sweep cleaner and last, longer. There should be a convenient place for keeping brooms, dustpans and cloths. It will save many steps if a set is kept on each floor.? Mary Graham in the Y/oman's Home Companion. Soine Facts About Boiling; Water. It may seem presumptuous to suggest that few people know how to boil water, but such is the case. The boiling point, under ordinary atmospheric pressure (sea level) is 212 degrees Fahrenheit; this point changes according to the altitude. When bubbles form on the bottom of the kettle, come clear to the surface and rupture quietly, without making an ebullition, we have simmering. At this point the thermometer should register 180 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is at this temneratnrn that wo mpflts and make soups. When the bubbles begin to form on the sides and surface of the vessel and come toward the top of the water, there is a motion in the water, but it has not really reached the boiling point. It is only when the thermometer reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit and the water is in rapid motion that it can be said to boil; and the atmespheric gases still continue to be given off with the steam for a considerable time after the water has commenced to boil rapidly; in fact, it is difficult to determine when the last traces have been expelled. It is safe to suppose, however, that ten minutes' boiling will free the water from its gases, make it tasteless, and render it unfit for the making of tea, coffee or other light infusions of delicate ma terials.?Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in the Ladies' Home Journal. ? ? ?
