GOOD ADVICE TO WIVES.
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.

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

has kilted his family in order to
prevent their being punished in the
event of his defeat.
