of that sort of men , of whom there are
a great many , who fitop their lovemaking

forgets the little things the woman
craven , the little show of affection that
makes happiness In the home and
drives away the feeling that life Is one
dreary stretch of monotony. V ry like
ly this woman's husband Is a "good
provider. " Hhc doesn't accuse him of
a failure to keep the larder well sup
' him of allowing
plied. She doesn't accuse
ing her to bo leis well dressed than
her nulghbor. She accuses him of not
showing hi * lore for her. And when-
love U not there can be no happiness
In the home. If he wore to i-pcnd days
In thought he could dovlsc no greater
cruelty than to spurn her attemptsJo
reach his heart. Perhaps he didn't
mean to be cruel. He may have thought
he was doing all that should bu expect
ed of him , all he promised at the altar
But It Is Just this want of thought that
breaks up many a home. Thin petition

divorce on this unique pica , but just
the sort of slights she complains of
have led to other troubles , which have
grown greater as the days went by , un

The Emperor William , like most
monarchs , objects to long sermons. It
docs not suit them that a mere man ,
oven though clothed with prleBtly au
thority , should talk to them too long
and take up too much of their time.
The Kaiser baa Just relieved from dttty
at the garrison church In licrlln a well-
known preacher who disobeyed an or
der to cultivate brevity In his xermon-
Irlng. He had preached on one occa
slcwi for three-quarters of an hour. The
Emperor sent word to him to keep him
self within fifteen minutes In the fn-
turo. The preacher paid no attention
to tlils order. Perhaps he thought that
he In a pulpit was a bigger man than ,
an KmiH-ror In a pew. Perhaps he Is as
unable to write n short discourse as
some men are to make a abort speech.
At all eveJiti he preached another
three-quarters of-an-hour sermon and
lost bis place. He suffers for his In
ability or unwillingness to obey orders.
He will have the sympathy of the
clergy of many denominations. They
dislike the dictation of laymen , even
when the laymen are princes , and they
wonld rather deliver long than short
sermons. The latter are the harder to
prepare when they are good. The men
who go to church will , aa a rule , side
with the Kmporor and wish they had
his authority. Whatever may huve
been the case once , long sermons are
not popular now , unless they are the
work of u man of pre-eminent ability
like Henry Ward Heecher. This model
sermon should not exceed a quarter of
an hour in delivery. If one take pain *
one con sny In that length of time
ninny things which ure worth listening
to , and some of which nil ) stick in the
minds of hearers. They nre likely to
remember what litu been said when
the sermon Is brief , crisp and pointed ,
with almotit as ninny hlciu u there are
sentences. When the sermon U long
they begin thinking early In the game
of when It will end and of dinner.
There is Hitch a nigh of relief when
"and lastly" is reached. It U harder
to wrltu a good short sermon tlimi to
write u long one. Hut the extra work
Is not In vain. The attention of con
gregations IM secured from the tlrst

Some years ago , a vessel loaded with
guano worth several thousand dollar.s
caught tire In thr South Pacitlc , and
was abandoned by the eaptuln and
crew , who came Hshore in the small
boats and reported the disaster. One
of the consignee * thought the cargo
could be saved , as he knew that guano
would not burn , and It was hi * idea , that
the hulk of the ship might be found
floating somewhere at sea. He char
tered a small English tramp that hap
pened to be at CalUo. Peru , and started
out to search for the derelict. After
cruising for two or three weeks he
found iter , the wood-work burned to
the water's edge , but the fuill sound as
n dollar , and the cargo : 1I right. They
started to tow her in to Callao , but the
day before reaching that harbor the
tramp they hud chartered begun to fill
very rapidly , and the pumps could
scarcely keep her ulloiit. They narrow
ly escaped sinking with all on board.
The leak was a mystery. They man
aged to get hereto Callao only by the
greatest extertioh , and ninny a time It
was feared that they could not keep her
afloat * o long. When the ship went
Into the dock and was examined , It was
found that one of the plates about the
center had worn through. Further In-
ve.-tIgatiim demonstrated that the dam
age had been done by a little copper
rivet , which hail been accidentally left
in the bottom , and hail rolled hack and
forth over the same spot so often and
KO long that the Iron plate hud been
worn thin , and ( lie pressure of the wa
ter had broken through. The mischiev
ous rivet was tlioiv , and wns taken out
and preserved as a curiosity.
