Poverty and Consumption.
That poverty is a friend to consump
tion Is demonstrated by some recent
German statistics, which show that of
10,000 well-to-do persons 40 annually
die of consumption; of the same num
ber only moderately well-to-do, CC; of
the same number of really poor, 77;
and of paupers, 97. According to John
Burns, the famous English labor lead
er, 90 per cent of the consumptives In
London receive charitable relief in
their homes.
Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done In a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, tho first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surmised at the
improved appearance of your work.
The American Cat-Tall.
The cat-tail of the American

The Marriage Vow
INTELLECT
BY LILLIE DEVEREAUX BLAKE
(Authoress and Lecturer, President National Legislative League.)
"My son," said the -mission priest
to the Spanish child, "define matri
mony." "Matrimony," replied the boy, "is a
atato of torment to be endured in the
blessed hope of purifying the soul for
heaven."
"No, no!" gasped the horrified
catechist. "You have given the defini
tion of purgatory."
"Hush, brother!" counseled the fa
ther superior. "Perchance the child
Is right."
There may or may not be a modi
cum of truth In the lad's blundering
assertion and in tho father's doubting
indorsement. At any rate there can
be no doubt that on two points hang
all tho differeiu'o between married
happiness and married purgatory.
These two requisites to happy con
jugal life are mutual affection and un
selfishness. The former of course in
cludes sympathy In tastes, and with
this it is my intention to deal.
A great source of misery is tho
drawing together through a brief at
trr -tlon of two people who have noth
ing In common on which to build a re
gard and respect which shall endure
when the igni3 fatuus of mere Infatua
tion shall have burned Itself out.
In enses of this sort, if there nre
no children, it may bo eminently
proper that the husband nnd wife sep
arate when the marriage bonls gall
unbearably, but where there are chil
dren this condition changes and for
bearance must be practiced. The
household must not be broken up. liet
ter live on together In mutual misery
than to rob your children of the home
ties that are inalienably theirs.
Unhapplness in married life is most
often duo to lack of community of In
terest between man and wife. The
man of literary tastes cannot find an
enduring companion In the mindless
butterfly of fashion. The woman who
keeps abreast of the times cannot
long be Interested in the society of
the husband who shares none of her
Interests and amusements. And this
brings mo to the oft-vexed, never-quite-solved
problem:
' "Does a man prefer a pretty wife
or an Intellectual one?"
While the two qualities are by no
means Incompatible, I maintain that
the chances of the Intellectual woman
far outclass those of her prettier but
shallower sister.
"Long Live
BY G. F. WRIGHT,
There is a widespread but false pre
judice against all pies, on the score of
Indigestibillty. But it is related that
nt one time, when Emerson and Car
iyle met, they fell into a discussion
concerning the reasons for their dif
ferences in temperament. Whereas
Carlyle was always morose and
gloomy Emerson was always plncid,
serene and happy. Carlyle could see
no reason why Emerson should not be
of like temperament with himself. Hut
Emerson thought he saw the reason
In their diet. "Why," he said, "Car
Jyle, you eat nothing but horrid oat
meal, while I keep serene on pie
three times a day."
One cannot realize the goodness of
Providence until he sets out to enu
merate the great variety of things, not
only which satisfy his hunger, but
which appeal to his taste, and make
the table the chief center of social
life. What is better than a thick
apple pie, with rich, tender crusts
above and below, filled with tart, crisp
appleB, well cooked, seasoned with
sugar and cinnamon? There Is noth
ing better, except it be a turnover,
which as about half the size of a small
pie, with the crust turned over, as
Its name signifies, upon an sides, bo
as to keep nil the richness In, and to
be eaten without being cut. What
schoolboy In the country does not re
member his mother's turnover that he
carried with him for his lunch.
In this case, as In so many others,
familiarity Is in danger of breeding
contempt. The applo fails to be ap
preciated, because It is so common
and so widespread. Its history is ob
scure, but interesting. There are
enumerated no less than 2.000 varie
ties, and their number Is still Increas
ing, under cultivation. In Its wild
state It Is the crab apple, which is
found growing in the fields throughout
Europe nnd western Asia, seeming as
much nt home in northern Norway
and In Siberia as anywhere. Hut the
crab apple Is small, hard and "crab
bed," nnd Is only utilized where noth
ing better Is obtained.
The best varieties of apples grow
In the temperate zones, where the
summer Is hot nnd not too short, late
frosts In the spring being peculiarly
destructive of tho fruit. How theso
varieties originated Is one of tho mys
teries of science, for no one can tell
when he plants tho seed of an apple
what the fruit will be.
The great variety of apples, there
fore, on all occasions has been ob
tained by selecting out of a great
many apple seeds that were planted,
some trees which produce good frrtlt,
Those are preserved In all cases by
IN A WIFE
Common sense is a strong factor in
married happiness, and the Intellectu
al woman knows best when and how
to yield In matters of real Importance
and does not magnify trivialities.
Men nre always attracted by a pret
ty f;'re, but the wiser among them do
not want to marry a woman who will
be too attractive to other men.
"Vim admire Miss ," 1 once said
to a man of the world. "Why don't
you marry her?"
".My dear Mrs. lUuke." he laughed,
"she is far too handsome. A diamond
Is tine to look on, but one would flm
far more safety and real companion
ship ith a collie dog."
Similarity of tastes and pursuits Is
the lirmest foundation for that pre
carious structure known as a matri
monial alliance. Self-control, too, is a
dominant factor in household pence,
and this is found to a much greater
degree among intellectual and highly
educated people than among those of
a lower order of mind. An intellectual
couple defer to and valuo each other's
opinions
The happiest unions are found
where both husband und wife have In
tellect. Man and wife, by constantly
living together, huvo such a strong ef
fect each on the formation of the
other's character that it Is surprising
this point of view Is not oftener con
sidered before alliances are entered
upon. Kach modifies the other's char
acteristics and personality. After a
few years this change In personality
Is often apparent to everyone.
For instance, the man who marries
a fool usually becomes lowered In
Ideals and mentality. The woman
who marries a boor sinks to his level
or else raises htm nearer to hers.
The question of marriage growB
yearly more complex. Society's double
standard of ethics for man nnd for
woman are cruelly hard upon the lat
ter. Were the same code made ap
plicable to both the aspect of marital
life would undergo a vast transforma
tion for the better. In tho meantime
choice of helpmeets, guided by com
munity of tastes, tho uplifting of one's
husband or wife, and constant refer
ence to the good old maxim, "Hear
and forbear," will do much to save
countless married couples a lifetime
of misery.

Apple Pie"
LL.D., F. G. S. A.
grafting or budding. And JiiBt here Is
one of the greatest mysteries In the
universe. One has but to insert a bud
from a good apple tree underneath the
br'ik of a crab treo and the branch
that grows from that bud will trans
form the Juices poured into it from
the main stem and exert a controlling
influence over the fruit that Is pro
duced. The bud from the branch of
the pippin will transform the Juice of
a crab apple into a large, highly cul
tivated and luscious pippin, as differ
ent from tho natural fruit as a cul
tured Caucasian is from the aborigines
of Australia. How it is done no mnn
knows. Hut we eat of the fruit and
acknowledge that tho chemistry of
nature is Infinitely superior to that of
man.
Apples have been cultivated from
the very earliest times, the remains of
them having been found in the ruins
of the prehistoric lake dwellings of
Switzerland, while, if we give the or
dinary interpretation to the word,
there was an applo treo In the Garden
of Kden. Hut It Is difficult to tell the
ex.u t meaning of the words applied to
objects which existed In prehistoric
times. Many commentators suppose
that, In early times, the word "apple"
was a designation of any fruit that
emitted fragrant odors. Hut from all
we know of the earliest varieties of
ripples, they would scarcely have been
a temptation to Eve, for even as late
as the times of Pliny, tho only applo
known was a crab, "a wilding," upon
which many a foul and shrewd curse
was poured on account of its sour
ness. The apple is a most valuable food,
because of Its abundance, Its digesti
bility when cooked, Its variety of Ila
vors, and the readiness with which it
can be preserved throughout the win
ter season. Certain varieties of apples
can be kept In cool cellars until
spring, some of them, Indeed, scnrcely
being good to eat until nearly the
dose of the season.
In former. generations dried apples
were an essential element In every
well stocked larder. No social gath
ering was more Interesting In former
times than the apple bee, when both
the old folks and the young gathered
to spend an evening In pnrlng, quar
tering, coring and stringing apples,
thi so being tho preliminary stages In
those days to tho process of drying.
