Max O’Rell Gives Some Points as to Government of Husbands. Max O'Rell, in his book, "Her Royal Highness, Woman,” gives tli.is advice to wives: "To rule your husband, my dear lady, do exactly as you please, but always pretend that you do as he pleases. That is where your ability comes in. Men are ruled, as children are, by the prospect of a reward. The reward of your husband is your amiability, your sweetness, your devo tion and your beauty, of which you should take constant care. “Always let him suppose that it is for him that you wish to remain beau tiful. The woman who believes she is asserting her independence every time she puts on a hat particularly displeasing to her husband is as clever and intelligent as the Irishman who buys a return trip ticket at a railroad office, and, on entering the car re marks to the passengers, T have played a good joke on the company. 1 have bought a return ticket, but I don’t mean to come back.’ ’’ PITHY POINTS. Beauty is only comparative; true love is superlative. Trifles show which way the wind blows, and so does an expensive Pan ama when the wind catches it. Perhaps time and tide wait for no man, but we venture to assert that they would have to wait for a woman while she dresses to go out. Prom Highlandtown comes the pal pitating news that an up-to-date host ess there painted the ping-pong balls used in a recent party a delightfully pastel shade of pink to harmonize with the wallpaper. Well, well!—Baltimore Herald. HOMELY PHILOSOPHY. Chalk is the milk in a white lie. Only the brave fare well at a church fair. One man’s success is often due to the failure of another. Some men seek justice and some have it forced upon tnem. Few critics get what they are en titled to in this busy world. Many a man with a good scheme lacks the required nerve to push it through. Any married man who waits for the owl car is sure to catch it—after he gets home. If the home team wins it’s owing to good playing; but if the other fellows win it’s simply an accident. According to the opinion of the av erage man there are a great many worse and but few better men in the world than himself. EPIGRAMS IN THE NE/V BOOKS. There is nothing that 3 enough for a woman but all.—“Th; Mississippi Bubble.” Put all your eggs in one basket—but watch that basket.—“The Empire of Business.” Love thy neighbor, but pull not down thy hedges.— The Heroine of the Strait.” No man can be '.rave who considers pain the chief evil of life.—“The Hero ine of the Strait. ’ There is no such thing as ill fortune; we always fail of our own fault.—“The Mississippi Bubble.” Overdone heartiness is nearly as nasty as underdone mutton.—“Com ments of a Countess.” Occasion's everything, but the rub is to know an occasion when you see it.—"The i_.ady Paramount.” l!e sure before you give your love and your trust that you are not only giving them to one who deserves them, but to one who really wants them.— “Many Waters.” The master poets love to deal with the victory of the vanquished, which the world's thinkers know to be greater than the victory of the victor ious.—“Nathan Hale.” Good Cause for Thrilling. A visitor to Shakespeare’s birth place, Stratford-on-Avon, whose heart wa3 in better condition than her head, walked about the town quits thrilled with rapture and awe. When she reached the railway-sta tion, where her train had not yet ar rived, her enthusiasm was not abated, and she looked about her with brim ming eyes. “Ah,” she said, "I think this place affects me more than all. Here he must have come to take the train to go up to London!” ■t’s the Same Discount. “As to dreams,” said the Chicago drummer as the subject was under discussion, “I believe in ’em and have got proofs of their veracity. It was only a week ago that I dreamed of finding a dollar, and next day I picked up 60 cents from the sidewalk. “But that wasn’t a dollar,” protested a listener. “Of course not. You have to give the usual 40 per cent off in dreams as well as in business, don’t you?" Millionaires in the Militia. The Twelfth New York regiment, now in camp up the Hudson near Peekskill, has among its lieutenants Cornelius Vanderbilt and Henry Rog ers. Winthrop, who are worth, respec tively, $7,500,000 and $6,000,000. The two young millionaires sleep on cots in tents, drink their coffee out of their tin cups in the morning and eat off tin plates and declare they enjoy it to the limit. MERE OPINION. It. must be difficult for a man with a large stomach to retain confidence in himself. The man who isn’t being fooled by anybody else generally puts in a good deal of time deceiving himself. How the young married women do hate the girl who can get the guest of the evening in a corner and keep him interested. Most of us would be down-hearted if we knew what the woman who tells us she is so glad we came says after we have left. Many a man who might have been a great moral force has spent his days sniveling because some little fool of a woman didn’t know a good thing when she saw it. Nun Proves to Be a Man A nun belonging to the Orthodox convent of the Town of Oral, Russia, who wms arrested on the charge of theft, has been discovered to be a man. He had lived for three years as a “sister” in the convent. Shatter Visits Old Home. Gen. W. R. Shatter has been visiting his old home at Galesburg. Mich., where still stands the log house where he was born. The family burying place is near by and the general vlsitd it, too. College President Retires. With this collegiate term, Dr. A. J. Battle will retire from the presidency of the Anniston, Ala., female college, concluding nearly forty-one years’ ex perience as the head of various South ern institutions. Heat in Incandescent Lamps. Incandescent electric lamps give out much more heat than is commonly supposed. Only six per cent of the en ergy of the current is turned into light the remaining 94 per cent being given off in heat. Sam Jones Getting Rich. Rev. Sam P. Jones, the sensational Georgia preacher, is doing well finan cially. He is about to erect a $25,000 business block in Cartersville, and has made other investments of his surplus income that promise to make him independently rich. Longevity in Families. Longevity seems to run in families, and sometimes appears to be almost hereditary. Thus Mrs. Keithe of Gloucestershire died in 1772, aged 133. She left three daughters, the eldest aged 111, the second 110 and the youngest 109. New England's Oldest Lawyer. Albert W. Paine of Bangor, Me, has practiced law continuously for sixty seven years, having been admitted to the Penobscot county bar on May 28, 1825. He is the oldest lawyer in point of continuous service in New England. Praises American Scenery. Paul Lindau declares in a recent magazine article that the deepest im pression he had ever received on his travels in the new or the old world was given by the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, in Arizona. Japanese Had a Grievance. A new reading has been given to the term "free wheel” In Japan. Ac cording to tr.e Kobe Chronicle, a young gentleman w’as brought up at the Ku Saibansho the other day charged with stealing a bicycle. Asked why he had done the thing, he said he was a student of English, and seeing the bicycle standing idle near a door way, an English friend told him that it was a free wheel, whereupon he had taken it out for a ride, when a police man interfered and deprived both himself and the wheel of their free dom. “The English,* as he told tho judge, “is an atrocity language.”— Pearson’s Weekly. Doubtful Compliment. A Texan named A. W. Houston is among the candidates for congression al nomination in the lone star state. Mr. Houston has a very df/rk com plexion—darker than the average mul atto. When in the state senate some time ago he delivered a splendid speech. An hour or so later he was passing down the street when a coal black politician from a distant city approached and, grasping him by the hand, said: ‘‘Brother, you’re a credit to the colored race, that's what you are.” Remedy Was Simple. An amusing story is told of a lady who had bought some new gas-burners with mantles. For a week or two the light was satisfactory; then it grew dim and dimmer until finally she sent for the gasAtter. “It grows worse all the time,” she explained. “When was it put in?” asked the man. “About a month ago." “Ah, yes; I see.” Then he lifted the chimney off, took it out to the kitchen, washed it with soap and water, an., the light burned as brightly as ever. “Fifty cents,” said the man. A Diamond Fancier. George L. Snow of Salt Hake City, who has been making trouble for “Bat” Masterson and other gamblers, is a big man and he runs much to diamonds. Attached to his watch chain he carries a huge charm with the letter “S” in sparkling gems. In his necktie he carries a stone of vast size and from his Angers gleam more diamonds of great size and brilliancy. HAD MIXED THE GENDERS. Frenchman Apologizes for Slight Mis take in His Grammar. At the annual dinner of the Yale divinity school President Hadley told this story as his contribution: “A Frenchman called on the mayor of Chicago, and as the visitor started to go he felt he must apologize for taking so much of the mayor's time. “ ‘I fear I have cockroached on your time, Mr. Mayor, and I extremely re gret it,’ he said. “ ‘Oh, no, not at all, my dear sir. That word, though, my dear fellow, is hencroaehed.’ “ ‘Pardon me, sir,’ rejoined the Frenchman, as he shook hands with his honor, ’I was mixed up in my genders.” HAD NO POETIC FEELlNG. Retired Poet Sorely Tried by Prosaic Comoanion. A retired poet, who is prospecting in the Rockies, writes to a friend his impressions of the scenery. "When ever I can,” he says, “I slip out on some lone peak and drink In a thirsty soulful of sunrises and sunsets, pine song, star-dream, and all the myriad enchantments of virgin nature. There is a beauty-fantasy, a Joy-illusion about every slope that lifts its tree fringed lines up to the solemn, snow crusted heights. In all these runes and hieroglyphics I read God’s beauty message unto man, who refuses to read. The other day I was out with a man on horseback, and the cliffs and tints of a mountainside so appealed to me that I said to him, "Jim, look at that hillside—isn’t it wonderful?” “Yaas,” Jim replied; "I’m a-goln’ to take it up fer a goat ranch.” “I didn’t shoot him,” concluded the retired poet, “though I had the gun and the will.”—Everybody’s Magazine. Sensitiveness of Incubators. "An egg In tbe process of hatching is remarkably sensitive to vibration,” says an expert in the breeding of fowls. The rumble of a train or the passage of a wagon along the street will spoil a whole incubator full of eggs if the faintest vibratory wave reaches the apparatus. Even such a little thing as the hanging of a door in some other par* of the house will destroy the chances of hatching out a brood where care has not been taken to place the incubator beyond the reach of such disturbances. A thunderstorm always gives breeders a scare, as thousands of eggs may be spoiled by a sudden heavy thunder clap. To sneeze or cough in the vicin ity of the incubators will sometimes work a disastrous result.”—Philadel phia Record. •jajujM aq4 uj X[B4I 04 34JBq 03 pnB uosBas b U4 SJB140P pajpunq )Bja -A3B equui 80 44JU1BJ UBHB41 eqj jo Xubiv ■S401J4S4P 3u4AAOj2-XjjaquBJO eqt U[ dll puiAV pus ‘sa|jjaqjsoo3 puB sajjjaq -qDBjq ‘sai.uaqAiap uaq} 'suBaq pub SBad Suiqoid 04 02 Xaq4 ajaq4 xhojj •sp[a4J jCueqAVBJ4s 0144 uj uosuas eq4 uado sjaqajd Xjjaq aqx ’siaqaid «q4 koj sajn4onj4s araujj apiAojd sjauuej eqx 'UOI4BU44S0P Jjaq4 04 sdnojS juajajjip aq4 puas Xaq4 pub ‘apBui sj uojsjaip b aiaqAV ‘snoj4B4S uiB4Jaa 04 siaqaid aq4 XuBduioaaB ..sauoipud,, aqx 'spuBq jo jaquinu u!B4jaa b A[ddns 04 sjaAvoaS puB BjauuBj q4|iA S40Ba4uoa iBnuuu aqBut oqAA sauojped jo a3iBqa ui aaaiA Xaqx "sp4aq Xjjaq Aasjaf q4nos oqj joj pajjBjs ‘uajpuqa tuB uatno.'A ‘uaui ‘subi[B4i ooz'f jnoqu uaqAV ‘Xep jaqjo aq4 BiqdjapBuqd mo.ij aoB[d 54004 stipoxa sno|jna y *8j0540(Xjjoq jo snpoxg What the Teachers Are Doing. For eighty years, at least, it has been considered in this country the duty of the state to educate the chil dren. In return for performing that duty the educated people have made the state the greatest compact nation in the world. The teachers o? Ameri ca are, after all, making the country more than iron masters and steel workers, more than king of transpor tation, more than the lords of mining, more than trust creators, more than presidents and statesmen are making It Found the Petitioner. Among the letters which awaited Eugene Ware’s consideration when ho took the work of pension commission er was one from a man in Ohio. The writer said he was receiving a pen sion of $30 per month, but, as the Lord had prospered him, he did not think he ought to accept it any long er. Even to a man as new in the pen sion office as Mr. Ware this seemed an unheard-of idea, so he wrote to an Ohio special agent about the matter. The agent replied in a day or two saying: "I have found the pension er. He is in an asylum, hopelessly in sane.” . Honor Given to Author. Emory college at. Oxford, Ga., at its commencement bestowed the honor ary degree of Doctor of Literature upon Joel Chandler Harris, author of "Uncle Remus.” It was the first time Emory college had bestowed this de gree and it was the only honorary de gree conferred by the college at this commencement. Woman as Doctor's Detective. One of women'3 latest professions is that of a femino resident of Los An geles, Cal., who acts as a detective for a medical society. She visits doc tors suspected of practicing without licenses and gets them to prescribe for any number of purported ills. Then the doctors are called Into court. A Grave Digger's Job. "Few men are so poorly paid as us grave diggers," grumbled an old, gray whiskered man, as he heaved his spade against a tombstone and lighted his pipe. "We get, you see, so much a grave, and in the belt of times we have to work ten and eleven hours a day to get along, while in poor times we pretty nearly starve. Times are especially poor just now. It's been such fine, bracing weather for the last month that hardly anybody has died. My partner and me have sat around three days at a stretch Just hoping somebody would drop off, so that a grave would have to be dug. There ought to be a law passed to pay grave diggers a salary, Instead of by the job. Then they wouldn’t go around with murder in their hearts, the way they’re doing now that nobody seems to die."—Philadelphia Record. Long Sitting of Parliament. The longest recorded silting of the British house of common! was in 1881. On Monday, January 31, 1881, the house, having met at 3:45, continued sitting until Wednesday at 9:30—a continuous sitting of upward of forty one and r half hours. The next long est sitting occurred in 1877. On Tues day, July 31, 1877, the house, having met at 3:45, continued sitting until Wednesday afternoon at 6.15, a period of twenty-six and a half hours. The Birthplace of Burns. Some extensive changes are being made in the Burns cottage, at Allo way, Scotland, where the poet was born; but assurance is given that the external appearance will not be in jured, and in a way the place will be made more like what it was in Burns’ day, for an outbuilding erected be tween 1805 and 1819 is to be removed. There is now an entire electric tram way running past the cottage door, and a road is being built between “auld haunted kirk” and the monu ment. Curious Resemblance. A curious resemblance exists be tween ex-Speaker Reed and Pat Sheedy, the noted gambler—espe cially odd from the fact that, though the big lawyer is often mistaken for the sporting man, the latter is very seldom honored by the reverse error. Mr. Reed sometimes has considerable difficulty in making it clear that he knows naught of horse racing, card games and other sinful amusements. Bullock Has Ingrowing Horns. A. K. Blundell of Wavyanui, New Zealand, has the skull of a bullock which has a curious ingrowth of the horns. The left horn penetrates four and a half inches into the head through a hole two and one-fourth inches in diameter; the right horn just indents the skull. The animal escaped from the Maoris and joined wild cattle on the ranges. It was found by surveyors so weak that it had to be shot. Water Flowers. He who hunts for wild flowers may well go to the ponds and rivers. They offer floral tribute, the water lily, be loved of all the world, the blue spikes of the pickerel weed, the water plan tain, the yellow water buttercup, white water crowfoot, and the greater bladderwort or popweed, while along the margins in marshy land the horned bt.adderwort wastes its frag rance.—Country Life in America. Deserved His Name. "Yes,” said the old man, pensively, "we called him Oregon.” “Because he rolled high once in a while,” we suggested, for we were familiar with the works of William Cullen Bryant. "No,” said the old man, “because he had two seasons—wet and dry—when he was broke and when he wasn’t.” Not having the gift of repartee, our only comment was "Oh!” Could Tell an American. Mr. William Cockburn of London, at the Riggs House, says: "I can always tell a citizen of the United States aft er a brief conversation. There is not one of your countrymen in a hundred that doesn’t make use oi a the phrase, ‘Is it so?' used in the way of an inter rogation. It is surely an Americanism, for though I’ve traveled widely in oth er parts of the world where the Eng lish language dominates, 1 never heard it, and in England it is an un known expression.”—Washington Post England's First Cup of Tea. The first cup of tea that was made in England was made by the Earl of Arlington, at his home, Arlington House, which stood where Bucking ham Palace now stands. The Earl bought the tea from a Holland mer chant for sixty shillings a pound. Vast Extent of the Seas. It has been computed by geographers that if the sea were emptied of Its water and all the rivers of the earth were to pour their present floods Into the vacant space, allowing nothing for evaporation, 40,000 years would be re quired to bring the water of the ocean up to Its present level. Woman Centenarian Dead. Mrs. Nancy Washington, who was probably the oldest woman in Boston, passed away recently at the home for aged colored women, having lived 107 years 1 month and 8 days. “Protected” His Family. At the head of the Chinese rebels in Chili is a military mandarin who has kilted his family in order to prevent their being punished in the event of his defeat. scorn EMULSION OF COD-LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES should always be kept In the house for the fol lowing reasons: V.-N FIRST- Because, if any member of the family has a hard cold, it will cure It. SECOND — Because, if the chil dren are delicate and sickly, it will make them strong and well. THIRD —Because, if the father or mother is losing flesh and becom ing thin and emaciated, it will build them up and give them flesh and strength. FOURTH - Because it is the standard remedy in all throat and lung affections. No household should be without It. It can be taken in summer as well as in winter. 50c. and $1.00, all druggists.
