From Day to Day. 
ENCELADUS. 
Under Mount Aetna he lies. 
It is slumber, it is not death : 
For he struggles at times to arise, 
And above him the lurid skies 
Are hot with his fiery breath. 
The crags are piled on his breast. 
The earth is heaped on his head; 
But the groans of his wild unrest, 
Though smothered and half suppressed, 
Are heard, and he is not dead. 
And the nations far away ' 
Are watching with eager eyes; 
They talk together and say, 
“To-morrow, perhaps to-day, 
Fneeladus will arise !” 
Ah me ! for the land that is sown 
With the harvest of despair! 
Where the burning cinders, blown 
From the lips of the overthrown 
Enceladus, fill the air. 
Where ashes are heaped in drifts 
Over vineyard and field and town, 
Whenever lie starts and lifts 
Ilis head throygh the blackened rifts 
Of the crags that keep him down. 
See, see! the red light shines! 
’Tis the glare of his awful eyes ! 
And the storm-wind shouts through 
pines 
Of Alps and of Apennines, 
“Enceladus, arise !’’ 
—Ilenry Wadsworth Longfellow,

1 he old legend Longfellow refers 
to in the poem “Enceladus” will be 
found in Virgil. Enceladus and his 
brother were giants who rose in revolt 
against Jupiter. The offended god at¬ 
tacked them with his thunderbolts, and 
then buried them beneath the volcanoes 
Etna and Stromboli. The earthquakes 
are the struggles of the imprisoned 
giants, while the volcanic eruptions are 
their fiery breath. The poem, written 
many years ago, possesses special in¬ 
terest at the present time.

A variation in rice pudding is the 
addition of stoned and chopped dates, 
which give a very agreeable flavor. 
Wash, stone and chop a half-pound of 
dates; put two tablespoonfuls of rice 
into a quart of milk with two table¬ 
spoonfuls of sugar and a pinch of salt; 
bake this for an hour, stirring often; 
when the rice is swelled and tender and 
the milk thick add the dates; cook 
again, stirring occasionally so the dates 
will not settle, till thick; serve very 
cold. 
Among light-weight woolens for 
Spring and Summer wear, wool taffeta 
possesses many advantages. It is very 
light, yet opaque, smooth in texture, and 
very durable. The price is $1 a yard. 
As a mourning fabric for Summer wear 
black wool taffeta is especially useful. 
This is not a new fabric, but many 
people seem unacquainted with it. A 
light-weight woolen dress, simply made, 
is often a great convenience for Sum¬ 
mer wear, especially where it is neces¬ 
sary to consider the amount of laundry 
work. 
There are occasional doubts in the 
minds of the elders of the Morse family 
as to the quickness of Bobby’s wits, says 
the Youth’s Companion, but there has 
never been any doubt that a lesson once 
learned by him, however slowly, is for¬ 
ever after remembered. 
“Won’t you shake hands with me, 
Bobby?” asked one of his sister’s ad¬ 
mirers, but Bobby hung back. 
“I don’t care to,” he said, with ter¬ 
rible distinctness. 
“Don’t you like me?” asked the un¬ 
wise visitor. 
“No, I don’t,” replied Bobby, and then 
thing to Mr. Brown?” 
“Because, aunty,” said her wriggling 
charge, “I got spanked last week for 
not telling the truth, and I sha’n’t never 
take any risks again!”

foundation high at the back and low in

under the rolling collar; this cravat has

Pickled Artichokes —Some time 
ago a recipe for making Jerusalem 
artichoke pickles was asked. We are 
using them, and all members of the 
family are very fond of them. The 
way we prepare them is as follows; 
Wash and clean a quantity of the 
tubers, then put them in a kettle of cold 
water, set them on stove and parboil, 
but not until soft, pour all the water 
off, and then treat them as you would 
cucumber pickle, using vinegar, and if 
suits the taste, spices. For our own 
tastes a small quantity of salt improves 
flavor. I prefer them to cucumber 
pickle. They are also delicious as sweet 
and spiced pickles. g. w. 
NO OTHER SOLE LIKE THIS! 
When the Rock Oak sole finally wears 
through, simply have your cobbler tap or resole 
, them, and they are good as new. And note 
this: If, with ordinary care, they do not out¬ 
wear two pairs of regular rubber boots, we 
will make good any difference in wear in 
money. Isn’t that fair ?
