A writer talks upon the other side of a
question often discussed. She thinks those
disquisitions about the duty of tho wife to
make home happy are all well In their way,
but very pertinently asks if It does not some
times occur to the writers that the husband
has aught to do with tho matter of making
borne happy. Sho thinks it takes something
more than a well furnished home, abundant
wardrobe, well Oiled larder, yen, even than
a full purse, to keep a womauly heart al
ways In smiling order.
'IIo not ashamed to be lover like; do not
fancy It is not becoming to middle aged peo
ple. 'All the world loves a lover is a true
saying, and the elderly married lover is as
much admired, if not more, as the j-oung
lover. Except some occasional soured spin
ster, or unhappily married elderly people,
all hearts warm to the man who is not afraid
nor ashamed to show that he loves his wife.

them such a one;' the young men learn a

"I your wife plain, quiet, old fashioned
J't her but fool that sho U dearest of all the
world to you, in spite of it all, and then a
little tender urgency and encouragement
will induce her to amend herself so far as
nbo can. She does not wish you to call her
lxiutiful if bho is not, but only to know her
self as dear to you as if sho were, inasmuch
as you chose her rat her than any mora beaif

VJY ,Tio growing elderly, diseased, da

memoer that she gave you her best years,
tcr best strength; that ia loving service to
you health and youth have been lost, and
Jove her all the more. It is more f -jOv.e
eka than her own tbat fcbo inotrrns over
fading face and whitening hair and halting
step. Sue sees changes in you, no doubt, but
loves you none the less for the thinning hair,
the furrows cn your brow, tho changes in
face and form from your sturdy youth; but
ou are only the dearer to her. In pity,
li.an, in honor, in all manly nobility, give
her back love for lovo, truth for truth.
"You are all in all to her. If you fail her
nothing can make good the loss. Your ad
miration, your appreciation, are worth more
to her than all tho world. If sho had every
other good gift, and the leva of all other
hearts, and tho praises of all nations, it
would bo void without your affection. Is it
not worth' while to appreciate such love as
this and retain it? Is it not a prize to be cher

Then strive always to bo patient, be sym
pathetic. Sometimes children may have
leen disobedient and trj'ing; sometimes tho
big boy, in tho plenitude of the wisdom of
hobbledehoyhood, has scouted her advice
contemptuously; sometimes the grown girl
lia-s sneered at mothers 'notions.' Then, if
you have it in you to comfort and cheer her,
to make her feel that she is indeed dear and
honored and wise and precious to you, then
are you well worthy of just such a crown of
honor as her heart crowns you with. Then
if you can show her that she is as dear to
you as ever, you have done a deed that God
w ill smilo upon.
"ilany a man says: 'ily wifo ought to
know I love her without my talking about
it. I have proved that I did, cot only by my
choice itself, but by years of careful provid
ing and faithful adherence.'
"Very true, but do not fear to say so. Man
cannot live by bread alone, nor woman
either. In no relation of life is it satisfied
without definite tokens of appreciation. You
comfort your minister's heart with thanks
for a helpful sermon; you give a friend a
warm hand clasp and expressions of esteem;
you delight the heart of your little, child
with fond embraces and sweet names; nay,
you call your dog good fellow and pat his
head; you pet your horse, and these, too,
appreciate kind words. Do as much at least
for your wife as you did for the friend or
servant.
"And by all that is true or noble or good,
I adjure you, suffer no outsider to comment
upon her peculiarities, to depreciate or slight
her because of them by look or word. Who
so does disrespect of her does double dishonor
to you. Allow no criticism of her; you chose
pney ; stand by your choice. Even if it were
mistaken, then pride would bid you let no
one know it." Arthur's Magazine.
Save tli Bits of Soap.
Oather together all tho pieces of white
6oap that you may have, castile. Ivory and
any others that are known to be good. Cut
them into small pieces and dissolve in boiling
water in the proportion of a teacup of water
to lialf a cup of scraps. As soon as the scraps
Lave melted, and while the water is still hot,
6tir in ground oatmeal to make a stiff batter,
prease some old cups and pour enough of
this mixture in each for a small cake, and
pet it aside to harden and dry. You have
now a very nice soap that is excellent for
daily use in the nursery; or the mixture may
be made just a little thinner and kept in a
tin cup to be brought out as soft, white soap
at the children's baths. For the boys' and
girls' tri-daily hand scrubbing stir the batter
very stiff with oatmeal, bran or wheat
middlings, and mold into flat cakes. These
have a roughness that i necessary to remove
ink 6tains, pitch and the many defiling sub
stances with which every healthy boy and
girl seems to como in contact.
For fancy hand soap, melt all together the
pieces of any colored toilet soaps, provided,
of course, that they are good, and do not
contain injurious materials; stir in a few
drops of irfumery and a very little Indian
ineaL Four this into shallow dishes (fancy
shaped if you wish) and when partly cold
stamp on a pattern and mold the corners of
the cakes round, or cut into shapes with a
cako cutter.
The scraps of yellow soap may be put into
the soap shaker a wire receptacle for hold
ing soap that is to be shaken in the dish
water; but for those who have no such im
plement, this is a way of disposing pf ihem:
Dissolve the pieces as before, using less hot
water, and when the mixture has partly
cooled stir in a quantity (as much as it will
take nicely) of scouring sand or bath brick
scraped tine; pour into a wooden box and
stir often until cold. This is excellent for
scouring tins and cleaning unpainted shelves
and floors, but will, of course, remove the
paint from wood work. Yellow soap may,
like the white, be simply dissolved and left to
stiffen a little to be used as soft soap. Ladies'

" A f era breakfast is the very latest Today
tbat is, something as yet undreamed cf piay

utilized a wide veranda for a fern morning

appeared to be spread on a mound overgrown
with ferns. The smallest ferns o' the brooks
and the woods, mingled with a delicate
orchid or two and green misses, were
ranged about a miniature pool of water,
which formed the central decoration. A
delicate maidenhair fern, planted in a tiny
rase of china, stood by each plate as tho
breakfast favor. Throughout tho meal the
color greeu was preserved as far as possible,
all the fruit being served surrounded by
fern fronds.
The pretty girl who gave tho breakfast
woro a gown of fern green China silk, which
made her look like a wood goddess whose
skin the sun had graciously forborne to tan.
Fern seed, which is fabled to make ono in
visible, was flung in laughing ceremony over
the group to make its session the more confi
dential, the ban being- removed later when
some tennis players began to show on the
lawn ready for a game. Breakfasts where
all the decorations were of striped gras have
been given, and a variation, still following
the fancy for green things, is an oak lunch,

IteckletMTiewt Concerning Drugs.
Thero is absolutely no limit to the reckless
ness of women with drugs, especially those
proper to the toilet. One woman fancied
carbolic acid would improve her skin, and so
it will, diluted enough. Hut sho used it
strong, till tho skin of hor face cracked,
peeled and that was not the worst left a
downy growth which toiled originally de
cent cheeks. Auother thought cold baths
the finest stimulant in the world, and took
a plunge in the coldest well water twice a
day in warm weather, till sho had to give
up, with her heart probably injured for life.
Another believed in hot buths, and after un
limited trial came out so weakened thafc
took years to restore her. .-.

Care of Children's Feet.
"Aristocratic feet may bo cultivated," re
marked a fashionable shoe dealer the other
day.
"You take the grandchildren pf such ple
beians as Jay Gould and old Commodore
Vanderbilt, and they all have beautiful feet,"
he continued. "It's all a matter of shoes,
bathing, stockings and care of the feet
"How sol Well, take one of the Vander
bilt grandchildren or George Gould's baby,
for instance. The child's feet from its birth
are carefully attended, bathed daily, and only
the best kind of shoes and the finest of stock
ings put on it.
"The difficulty with many parents is in
selecting shoes that are just the length of
their children's feet," continued the learned
shoe dealer. "Now, there is nothing more
injurious to the shape of the foot than a short
shoe. Peopla of wealth soon learn' this, and,
while the narrowest possible width is chosen,
the shoe is always an inch longer than the
foot
"Children who are permitted to walk or
run about much need not hare hirga feet
ThesMSiet is to bathe the feet each night in
warm water and each morning in cold water
and a little salt, rubbing vigorously. Then,
if fine, darnless stockings are worn, and
shoes that fit snugly without being tight, a
beautiful foot is sure to be the result
"Old shoes, shoes of different makers, and
shoes of various sizes are moro trying to the
beauty of feet than either tight or narrow
ones." Baltimore News.
The Belle as a Wife.
If a young lawyer should be disbarred, a
young clergyman degraded from the minis
try, should a merchant fail or an engineer
lose his position, he would scarcely suffer a
greater sense of change than does the young
belle when she finds herself 'ineligible to the
post which has been hers by tho consent of
her parents and by the approbation of the
world. She misse3 the bouquets, the mur
murs of applause, the atmosphere of adula
tion, "Why chould she. not? The lover, a
creature all smiles, who pamo bringing gifts,
has become a stern taskmaster, scolding over
bills. The belle has become a slave to the
cook, of whom she is afraid, and to the
grocer, the baker, the candlestick maker.
However, if "Love goes like a light in the
pathway," all this becomes right in tinie?
and the young wife will accommodate, htr
set to circumstances, and when she emerges,
after a year or two of seclusion, still beauti
ful, still young, still pleasure loving, there
is no doubt an added appetite for admiration
from the long fast The husband is absorbed
in money making. He cares little how his
wife spends ber time, and so grows (he mar
ried flirt, innocently at first Innocent at
first;, but alas! a dangerous game, fraught
with possible misery to herself; for oven the
most innocent flirtation is a troublesome
affair. Its essence is secrecy, and that is a

The Loud Voice In Ppblid.
The ill breeding that manifests itself in
loud talking in public is entirely too preva
lent hereabouts among women whose attire
and general conduct stamps them as other
wise well bred. That womanly trait, a low
voice, which Shakespeare found so excellent
a thing in women, is noticeable by its rarity
in most American communities. The im
pression conveyed by hearing such a voice
in public places and conveyances is that the
forte speaker's usual surroundings are h
factory or the rattle of the kitchen dishes,
each resulting in enforced elevation of speech
to a key high enough to drown other noises.
The factory girl or the dishwasher has
every excuse for loud talking, for with her
it is the force of habit Other women havs
no such excuse and the if vpcif erousness may
be set down to innate vulgarity. Such women
focus the eyes and arouse the attention of
every occupant of a street car. There it is
simply amusing and perhaps annoying. In
tho place of amusement the oud talker-, man
or woman, is simply a pestilence, a reminder
that the Nineteenth century is prolific of
barbarians and that rudeness is the rule and
refinement the exception. Pittsburg Bul

Advice to Anxious Housemother.
If your husband's salary ia small, don't try
to live in the same style as your neighbor
who has twice your income. It will cost yon
dearly in tho end. Don't dress your children
and furnish your house the same as theii-s.
They can hav their sewing done and their
re dusted; yen c-caot Deaf xii mtil
you can get as costly books as they; a
cheaper edition will furnish just as much In
tellectual food. Bo content In a cottage
when you cannot afford a mansion. Don't
send your daughter to Vassar becauso they
do, or that sho may associate with them as
equals, whilo you sjend the wsary hours from
5 a. m. to 11 p. m. to devise to moans. Do
try, by all means, to give her a solid, prac
tical education first; then, if circumstances
permit, the ornamental afterward.
Be systematic, but do not be so systematic
that you cannot drop your work for a holi
day or an evening out. Slight it, if need lo,
and let me say, you can slight systematic
ally. For instance, don't mind ironing those
sheets or dish towels nor those woolen hoto.
Don't scrub the kitchen floor every day.
Thero will be time enough when it is soiled.
Have a placo for everything, a certain day
in the week for certain work, also a certain
lrtioii of each day for recreation. It may bo
only a few minutes, but it is wonderful what
you gain in that short time. New Orleans

Keeping Up Appearances,
now many a roof, transparent to the
mind's eye, discloses anxious fathers and
harried mothers, sacrificing everything to
keep up apioaranecs. The underclothing
may be imtched and insufficient, but it is
covered by stylish gowns. Slipshod, ragged
and unkempt at home, when abroad one
would suppose them to live luxuriously.
Scrimping on tho necessaries of life, eating

Many of the so called cheap cuts of meat
are preferable; for instance, the shoulder C-f
mutton is much more delicata than the leg,

NATURE'S FRIENDSHIPS.
THE STATE OF WAR NOT SO
BAD AS WE IMAGINE.
Animals' Dread of Human Ttelngs On
Slaughter of IMrda and Ueoata Crier of
Tets at Losing a Friend Natural An
tipathies. Thero is a deal of lovo killed cut or pre
vented from manifesting itself. This is true
not only among human beings, but Itetween
men and animals and birds, and even insects.
The state cf war that is in existence in na
ture is not by half as bad as wo imagine.
Tho worst half is caused by our own sel'.lsh
interference. On wild islands, when first
visited by men, it is always reported that
fowls and birds are so tame that they ermit
tho approach of any ono without tho idea of
fear. But this they soon lose. The same it
true of seals and animals that have, not U-on
hunted. But there grows up rapidly a dread
of man, so that the scent of a human twing
to an antelope, elk or buffalo is most abhor
rent. This becomes an inherited trait. Man,
after all, is tho great destroyer that is
dreaded in all the realms of nature. Tho fe
line tribe.i rank next to him, together with
wolves, hawks and serpents. This is not a.
pleasant fact to consider, but it is szuldest of
all that it is a fact.
Nor does this begin to tell the full trufa jt
is not wild animals alone that 3j'A( Ug )Ut
as a rule thero is littlo love for- amon3ani0
animals, the dog except Tbo cat li:is aa
occasional friend. ut is compelled for the
most part tg ve on tho defensive. Somo
races, lite the Bcdo-.tn, livfo-i t. .-
familiarity wit.U iueix- nurses uml camels.
These exceptions show tho iossiblo friend
ship. Li a (junker barnyard I have seen such
h, rule of love that every animal was a con
scious friend. It is only because of our
brutality, or indifferonce, that our animals
an not our loers. Cows aro by no means
"board faced creatures" when gently handled.
Trained up as pets, they become affectionate
to a degree surpassed only by dogs. I have
owned a horse that never allowed mo to ap
proach without placing her head affection
ately across my shoulder or her nose in my
Uoioni.
I cannot think without anger of tho
slaughter of birxs anil animals for no possi
ble reason but sport Tho birds would "take
to us" freely, if they dared; and, us it is, a
few have managed to break down prejudice.
The friendship between mankind ami robins
I can hardly comprehend, for this bird is far
less valuable than some others, and is also
less beautiful. A writer in Viek's Magazine
relates bow she formed a friendship with a
humming birth "I have had one brief little
friendship with a bird dising the present
summer which seems like a tender dream, a
fleeting glimpse into an unknown laud, a
peep into fairyland." She bad come upon a
tiny young humming bird that had been
chilled by a cool night, and, picking him yp-,
had warmed and fed him. lie grew go tame
that "when he was hungry he would fly
down to me from top of a picture, and,
alighting on a twig in my fingers, would sit
and sip his sugar and water from a teaspoon
or the end of my finger. These drops would
satisfy him." and then off he flew, "lie de
lighted to be held oyer a large spoonful of
soft water, and dip in his boak and splash
water, over his little body."
Thre is no reason why this gentle accord
may not be established on all hands. Pris
oners, as we know, have formed curious at
tachments for crickets and spiders, and thus
saved themselves from loss of reason during
solitary confinement Nor, even in gucti
pases, is the friendship altogether on 6no side.
Foxes, dogs, cata, horses, have been known
to die for grief over the death of a special
friend. I have seen manifestations of in
tense grief in several cases. The cat is capa
ble of peculiarly string attachments. I have
known ono to ba inconsolable for many
vvseks after tho departure of a boy to whom
hp specially devoted himself.
Natural an$ip8tbies form the other side of
this question and the illustrations aro all
about. A stray dog camo to my place last
summer. He laid himself flat on his belly as
I approached, only moving hia eyes with the
most intent watchfulness, I drew nearer,
not a motioiij but he drew still flatter to the
soil. lie was offering his services. Would
I accept him? He was a beautiful cross of
shepherd and hunter. I said, "Yes, you
may stay." Ho knew in a moment tho pur
port of my words. Leaping up, he came
with eyes full 0 gladness and took my scent,
and at once was a'member of my household.
But tho friendship was ever first of all for
no'self.
Now came the question of cat and dog, for
I had a splendid cat that had had no dog?
about to annoy him. Here was the nature!
antagonism of the feline and canine races.
But "Shop" undei stood perfectly that lie was
an adopUid resident, aud must not crowd his
acquaintance. They could not become quite
friends, but learned to tolerate each other.
What is this natural antipathy? Traced far
enough back, the ancestry of the felines and
canines come out of a common stock. But
these terrible clawing creatures have been
outlaws from time immemorial. To bite is
allowable in the auimai code; but to scratch,
that is an innovation and indecent. We have
codes that allow bullies to pound and kick,
but they must not scratch. It is easy to im
agine how the first that took to using their
nails were driven out of the tribe. I believe
the genuiue ancestry to be canine; the feline
is a spurious offshoot
There are intense hatreds, as we well know,
between birds. Not one of them will form
an alliance with the English sparrow. So far
as I have observed the blackbird has no
friends and does not care for any. He workf?
in troops, steals in companies, and has hi5
bill against all other sorts of birda, and is de
tested in turn. An owl is a lonely creature,
only that it is said occasionally to make a pet
of a snake instead of eating it, which I doubt
The fr;andship X3 probably like that of prai
flo dogs and rattlesnakes an invasion of
snakes that can not be prevented. The owl
may not be able to digest some of his saurian
acquaintances. As a rule there ia some one,
or two, members of a household, that bad
better let the domestic cat alone sometimes
also the dog or dogs. Why these are not
liked by the animals I do not know, unless it
be something in the scent Horses have
strong antipathies to certain grooms, based,
I should judge, at least in part, on smell.
