THE HAW Wirn THE BILL He’s here again; I hear his footsteps fall upon the floor; Th creaking stairs shriek warning notefll His hand is on the door. A week ago he came, and then I said, *• do call to-morrow.’ 1 I thought that I would be from toE But, greatly to my sorrow, He caught me, as upon the street I h itened toward the train; And then I said, “In haste I am, Please call next week again.” ’Tis now next week, and he b here, No chance for me to flee; I never can escape the man Who has a blil for me. A Poet’s Study.' A correspondent of the Louisville ('ourirr- Journal, who hoe been visiting Mr. Longfellow’s home, writes: “If the influence of surroundings can bo felt in conversation it surely might in that delightful apartment; the room where most of Mr. Longfellow’s poems have lieen" written, and where many of his souvenirs are gathered from abroad and distant parts of this country. It is large -and -square and has several-,win-do ws iu it. There are carved book-cases (one of which is filled with his own works), portraits of his literary friends in their youth, and two of himself—one taken at the age of twenty, the other recently—some venerable cabinets, plenty of easy-chairs, etc. In one corner, between two windows, each having a wide and varied prospect, is his writing-desk, heaped with papers. I paused there a moment and looked out ou the hills and tilt l tries, as if to catch some memento of the inspiration that has come to the poet in that particular plifttt. In tlm center of the room is u large square table, hulen with ninny objects. Tho inkstand used by Wordsworth (I think), some rare books, notably a copy of the first edition of Bryant's poems, some Venetian vases, filled with newly cut flowers, etc,, etc. As Mr. Longfellow talked with me bf Hawthorn and Emerson, ho . pointed to their portraits—and of many other nut hors and authoresses, English, (termini, Italian, and American —lit was delightful to find that he expressed himself so kindly of all. Os -course. I was eager to hear him talk, and suggested topics, if he paused with infinite .courtesy for mo to express an opinion. In speaking of Dante, he went to a carved oak box and unlocked it, from which he .brought forth a little glass case, in which are some bits of the great Italian's coffin. After a while he showed me the lower part of his house, the drawing-room, with its objects of art, and tho stair-case, where a tall Dutch clock rests on the landing—not ‘The Clock ou the Stair-case,’ but a more fanciful one that has taken the old clock’s place. It is a quaint house, not elegant, but more than -that, it is charming, homelike, and telling, ns ’everything in it gives oiie an‘idea of its unusual occupation. One would hardly believe it could be one hundred and fifty yeftrs old. Washington lived in it nine months: His office was the room used by Mr. Longfellow as his study. Most of tho rooms are as Washington left them in shape, although some trifling alterations have been made. On the east side of the house is a broad piazza, where the poet loves to. walk. He still writes and i works as though he was a young man. He is vigorous, and bids'fair for many years to come.to enjoy the' honors which his talents and industry have created for him. Precocity a Sign of Inferiority. M. D. Delaunay, in a communication to the French Society dr Jlinlnt/Le, fink advanced the opinion that precocity is a sign of biologi il ‘inferiority. In support of his position, he adduces the fact that the lower species develops more rapidly, and are at the same time more precocious than those higher in mfc scale. Man is the longest of all in arid i,g at maturity; and the inferior races of men are more precocious than the superior, as is seen in the children of the Esquirnaqx, negroes, Cochin Ciiinese, Arabs, Japanese, etc. t who are, up to a certain age, more vigorous and more intellectual than ..small Europeans Precociousuess becomes loss and less, in proportion to the advance made by anv race -iu civilization—a fact which is illustrated by the lowering of the standard for recruits, which has boon made necessary in prat ice twice during the present century by the decreasing rapidity of growth of the youth of the country. Women are —nnii e precocious than —men, —and —hrati~ domestic animals the female is formed sooner than /the male. From eight to twelve years 'of age a girl gains one pound a year on a boy, and in mixed sell!m>]h girlk obtain tile first, places up to the age of. twelve. The inferior tissues end organs devclope before tho higher ones, and the hr nil is tile slowest of all tie organs to develop. M. Delaunay eo!c !lines his paper by stating that the piecocity of organs and organisms is in an-inverse ratio to the extent of their evolution.- Sanitarian.

The Decoration of a Room. Crude whito is in favor with housewives for ceilings—“it looks so clean.” That is just its fault. It looks so clean, even when it is not, that it makes all else look dirty, even though it may be clean. To paint the flat ceiling of a moderate-sized room by hand is simply a waste of labor. It is only at great personal inconvenience that one can look long at it, while, as a matter of fact, no one cares to do so. You see it occasionally, by accident, and for a moment, and, that that casual glimpse should not be a shock to the eye, as.it is. as well to tint it in accordance with the room, or dven cover it with a diapered paper, which will to some extent withdraw the i attention from the cracks that frequently disfigure the ceilings of modern houses. What hand-painting wo can afford may best be reserved for the pannels or doors, window shutters, and-the like, where it can he seen—these doors and the other woodwork' being painted in two or three shades, of'-colors, flat or varnished, according as we prefer softness of tone or durability of surface. Perhaps it will be best, ij this instance that toe woodwork "liould fall in with the tone of the dado; but this is not a point on which a..y rule can be laid down. The decoration of the panels should be in keeping with the wall paper patterns. It, may be much more j pronounced than they, but still it must | not assi rt itself. One great' point of j consideration in the decoration of a room : is the relation of the various patterns 0110 to another. It may often be well hi ' ancritice an otherwise admirable design simply because you can find nothing else to go with it. A single paffiJm. qnee-ehOsen, will often coutral the whole scheme of decoration. —Majttiiue- of Art. Oriental Nonsense. Calling on a giddy girl, who locs linthj*. ing under heaven to uo but to follow fashions, i found her reclining u.ra lounge in her boudoir. She wore iyli.it is Calk'd a tea-gown, shaped not ti ili .e long, loose paletot, nit;! olbew sleeyto, or angel sleeves, looped n:n 1 go I hy-red- ii, i atlho wrists. The 'inateri.il oil th ■ garment was a eonibiimtio*! of brocade .in gold and ’silver with silk gaii/.c, . Anything more Oriental could hardly be found out of the Orient itself. Our her bosom was a lie!in in'lare, laid ov--r the shoulders and crossing m front; a i■ i eh of. rod llowgrs was fastened at hoi' belt; her abundant'black hair was bra die,fc back with a well-counteif ited aegli--gence; the toes Os her extended iec-h. were stuck into embroidered sa elais, and her stockings Were a true flesh-color. A glorious creature she looked, t rule, as as she lay there in In r studied carelessness of finery. lint what I set out. to say was that incense was burning at her side. Yes, fragrant smoke was rising lazily from an incinerating pastil ■ in. a bronze dish. This is a new lveak of the girls. Tliii soent-bdUlo is put aside, and rooms and clothes are. perfumed with incense! If the practice lasts io,.g the cannibal who eats a fashionable g rl will find her smoked through and timm.fh. like a ham, but a great deal spicier. —New York Letter.

How to Save Lamp Chimney*. A Leipsic journal, which makes a specialty of matters relating to glass, gives a method which it asserts will present chimneys from cracking. The , treatment will not* “Only render lamp chimneys, tumblers, and like articles , more durable, but may be applied with advantage to crockery, stoneware, porco- , lain, etc. R - The chimneys, j are put into a pot tilled with cold water, to which some common table Salt has been added. The water is well boiled over a fire, and then allowed to cool 1 slowly. When the articles are Liken out j and washed, they will be found* to; resist afterward any sudden changes of' temperature. The process is simply one i of annealing, and the slower the pooling j part of it is conducted tho more effective will be tho work. Pilgrims in Paterson. Paterson, N.
