promptly, ‘it is so dreadfully shabby
—oh, of course, I mean the side
board, not the silver; don't he too
smart.”
‘‘I suppose, then, If such a t iling
were to happen, you'd have lo have
a new side-hoard.”
She nodded complacently.
“I saw such a lovely one down
town to-day—antique oak. beautiful
ly curved. I do admire oak so
much.”
“Hut. the rest of the furniture is
walnut,” 1 objected.
“Walnut Is altoget her oat of style,
especially for dining-rooms,” she re
plied with a disdainful glance at t lie
chair* which we Imd once found very
good to look at; "and, after all, the
sideboard is by so much the most
expensive piece of furniture In u din
ing-room, thut it doesn't cost milch
more to get ii whole set than just
that one piece. And even ii walnut
sideboard new, would not look wel
with these clmirs and this table,”
I said nothing, and the tacit sur
render W'iin accepted by lay wife.
Thenceforth it was understood that
if Aunt .lane should bequeath us thill
silver, wo were to purrhuso a new set
of dining-room furnit lire.
The next evening, qs we were aga in
ut dinner, my wife remarked:
“I have been looking ntcarpets to
day, and saw one flint just suits me
—rich and subdued, you know, but
not dingy.”
“t’ur|>cts?” i repented, in some sur
prise; “I didn't know that there was

“Why, ktupid,” rejoined m.v wile,
petulantly (mid the emphasis wan nil
upon the put mime), “did wo not
ugree that the dining-room must !»<•
refurnished? And this carpet is ho
old and worn, of course it would not
do ut all with the new furniture.”
Again I acquiesced silently, and
she proceeded to make plans for
mecetiilg me the next day to exam
ine and choose the curpet and furni
ture to he purchased Inter on. Well,
if my w ife's relations left handsome
silver, 1 must of course provide
tilings in keeping with it.
She met an* according to appoint
meat and having inspected the arti
cles, gave me to understand that my
taste was so execrable us not to mer
it a moment's consideration, and an
nouncing her owu choice, suggesting
coolly:
“And now let's go look at the wall
paper.”
"Wall-paper?” I e» hoed blank
l.v
“Of course, the loom must Is* re
papered if it is returnisiied. As for
the woodwork. I suppose there is no
help for thut —it will just have to lie
ri-gruincd Can they make that
nutural wood finish ou wood that
has been Minted?”
I stared agtinst; that silver was
going to rosl me a pretty sum. Hut
1 wus helpless entirely so, my wife
had mads up her mind
That weuliig, site wus much elnieil

by su< h things us she httd ih.it day
selected. Titers was but one cloud
on tier lion ion
“The daoug room wdl lm nicer
ihan the parlors,'' she remarked,
plaintively, “| nm nfriiid tlint they
will realty look shabby,"
fc I said nothing, hoping that If she
were not cuntrudtcted sin* would not

and we are to Imre the painters and
paper-hanger* here, we might a* well
have the whole house done? It would
l»e very little more trouble, and then
it would all look nice together."
“It would foe considerably more ex
pensive,” I remonstrated faintly.
“You might draw the money
out oi the building asso
ciation," she suggested, and
then 1 knew that our savings in that
institution were doomed.
Aunt .Inn*lingered n long time. In
justice to my w ife. I must admit t hat
she Inal Issome oblivions of the fuel,
that all theneimprovementsdepended
upon a legacy, which could only lie
possessed after the death of her ven
erable relative.
A day or so after she had decided
that the house wasto Is- thoroughly
renovated my wife said to me:
“I have been examining the parlor
carpets, and I find that by using the
best parts of both, and huyiugu wide
border, I can get quite a new carpet,
for our ited-room—absolutely un
worn."
“Indeed!" I remarked with pleased
surprise; there was one thing that
she would not want, any how.
“Yes, and the carpet that Is now
on it has enough good to cover the
children’s room if I put the worn
purl under tlie bed, <>r inuy-be I'd
better put that on the spare room,"
she ended. reflectively, “and give
that one t o t he children. Theirs gets

I said nothing, but felt greatly re
lieved.
As long ns we don't have to buy a
bed-room carpetshe remarked, in
sinuating),y “don't you t bird, wecould
afford a new set of furniture?"
"No, I don't," I returned, savage
ly; where upon she burst into tears
nml culled me a heartless monster.

“It. does man a shame.” she suiil,
a few days afterward, "to spend so
mill’ll money on this house. That's
very handsome and expensive paper
that we looked at,mid to substitute
an archway for tin* folding doors
will cost something"—t his was the
first I laid lienrd of tin* archway—
"and then those lovely carpets cut
up to lit these small rooms, too!”
"Yes, it is a slmme," I replied,
hardly crediting my seines. Not all
had been lost although mill'll had
been in danger.
"I am so glad that you think so,”
returned my wife, briskly: “I was sure
that you would agree within** that
it, would he wiser for its to find a
house that suits it** Is‘tier, and buy
right away. Heal estate is cheap
now, they say—there’s so much in
the market."
Sin* tried to put on a knowinglook;
if site had known lmlf as much about
t hat, subject as about iimimgitig me,
I should have f<*!t impressed. Asil
was, I weakly objected:
“.My dear, I don't know where in
the world I could get the money to
buy a larger and better house—any
house at, all. in fart."
"You could Si'll this," sll** replied,
nothing daunted.
"Hut il real estate is a drug on tin*
market, I do not want to sell.” I re
torted, thinking cunningly to turn
her own weapon upon herself.
“There are those shares of stock,
then.”
“Mut that stock is going up daily;
if I wait six mont hs. I can get dotihle
what it, would bring now; nr hold it,
and draw lag interest on my invest

by holding it. My wife occupied her

in looking for a resilience which

At tiie end ot the period mentioned

Philosophy of a Cold.
Huy* Prof. Woodbury of the Medl
co-t'hirurgicul College of Philadel
phia, “If there is any tiling calculat
ed to take all the brightness out of
t lie sunshine, all tike savorout of our
food, and alt the sweetness out olotir
life, it is a cold in the head.” lie
presents some thoughts in it* philos
ophy, the substance ol which limy in
terest the mighty host ol sufferer*.
In every case there are two factors,
an irritant and a susceptility of flic
system. Among the irritants are
mieroscopic germs taken in from
without, as in infltiea/.u, and certain
poisons which are developed from
laid nutrition or imperfect nssimila
t ion wit Itiu the body, nnd which it i*
theoHIce of t,lie liver to destroy. In
deed, the effects of the two cuiiscm
me essentially the same, for the
germs act. by generating certain vio
lent poisons, which irritate the mu
cous membrane of the nostrils,
pharnyx, lungs, stomach or bowels.
As to susceptiliility to colds, u
healthy body, limitr ordinary cir
cumstances. has very little of it. Hut
sudden climatic changes may induce
it. Horses, brought from the west
often have a discharge from t he nos
trils which lasts about six months.
