- FAMILY "WTSJLSCES,
Tliers is no other thing in the expe
rience of woman that is made so humil-
iatingr to'her self-resoect
and withal so
exasperating to her temper, as" her
dependence on man for support. And
ths is the man's own fault, and in. it is
to be found the primary cause of much
of the discontent and bitterness that
mar the loveliness of woman's character
and drive . her too often to stifle her
natural and more, congenial tastes for
domestic life in her determination to be
ml oi this grinding sense ot ooiigation
under which she has rested ever since
her eariiest girlhood. And we find the ;
young woman, having said "No to the ,
man she rally loves and could make '
happy, pur-uing her way in her profes
sion or trade alone, because she be-,
lieves that as soon a the weight of her
support falls on his shoulders, he will ,
'repent him. of his folly and wish himself
free from burden. Or as in the case of
some married women, who. finding the
grudging spirit with which the money
for their reasonable expenses is doled '
out to them intolerable, neglect their
A.fc.lHHCJ AUU UWLUC3 Ul LU1U bllTLLl
over to the care of hired help, while i
they engage in some kind of business
outride that will at least enable them to
pay their own way. Then aside from '
these two classes we have mentioned. .
which are acknowledged to be small in
proportion to the masses vbut they are
as. a. rule noble natures ) there are the
thousands on thousands who bear the
indignity of their positions -o bravely
that none ever know they sufier. " But
they do. and that most keenly: and
aooner or later the sense of this injus
tice to which they are subjected will tell
on their tampers or their spirits, and
they will become impatient and fretful
or gloomy and discouraged.
Now there is no good
world whv this stale of
rea.-on in the
affairs should
exist. Man and woman were made for
each other, and they are necessary to
and dependent on each other, if the
highest interests of society and posterity
are to be considered.
The husband, as a rule, earns the
Bioney for the support of the family,
and it L right tand only right that he
should, save in the very exceptional cases
where the wife's strength and taste and
freedom from the responsibilities of
motherhood make it desirable for her to
engage in business. But the fact that
he alone earns money from the outside
world makes it about as reasonable for
him to share that money gnidgingly
with the wife, or bestow it on her as a
gift for which she should feel an over
whelming gratitude, as it would be for
the mother to deal in the same spirit
with fcer own child, because it has not
earned wages during the day it should
be shown ax supper that it is not deserv
ing of the meal: when its apron is worn
out she ahoUld provide it with a new one,
aad a long lecture on its extravagance
sod her boundless generositv in thus pro- t
Tiding for its wants.
The idea is reallv so nreDosterous that '
it woiild seem.useless to consider such a .
subject for a moment, were it not for the
knowledge we have that nine out of
every ten men of families make this same
mistake, if we would speak charitably,
or to call the thing by its right name,
treat their familiesTthus outrageously.
We are well aware that it" is impos
sible for the majority of men to pro
vide luxurious living for those depend
ent on them: neither do- we consider
this in any s,jnc necessary to the hap
piness of the family. But" as a rule the
wife can bring more comfort into the
house with five dollars that she may
have to spend than can the husband
with twice that amount. And this is
sot wonderful, nor is she entitled any
special ereilit for it, more than he is
for earning the five dollars for her.
Itisjiart oi her duty for which nature'
ha especiallv fitted .her. And if she
failed in it, it is either because she
doesn't try, or because the selfishness
of her husband has denied her the
means of developing this talent. For
this reason, then, we believe that where
the income w limited, the wife is the
best disburserof the family funds. And
if she is worthv to be the wife of an
honest man. she wHI do her level best i
to make that monev bring as much
comfort into the house as possible, and
in no case will she allow her feminine
love for the beautiful beguile her into
extravagance. But we must not ex
pect miracles. If the husband treated
her like a child for five years, andihall
ax length come to his senses and decide
to act toward her like she was an intel
ligent woman, he will not expect that
she will display the judgment the sensi
ble man's wife across the street does, for
she has had just nve vears
dnenpnep
in .the ue of her Dowers that his ahort-
.r
ligtedness has deprived his wife of. . I

he best plan in this case is- for husband
and wife to agree on a plan of living that
shall bring all the expenses of the year
ms far within the limits of -their income
as their courage will permit. Tnen
from previous experience, if they have
lived with their eves ouen. thev can
proportion the various expenses of
house. "dress." charity," 'inci
dentals," and so on. as far as they mar
see fit to particularize, and this done
each one will have an intelligent idea
ot what he is striving for. The woman
ad well as the man in this case becomes
sc interested perry in the "familv
fiances. And the man that has never
given his wife a chance to show what
she can do with money will, in nine
cased out of ten. be thorougfalv sur-.
prised at the economy she will practice
and enjoy, because she knows what she
is doing.

that the style be plain, let it be so,
but have som kind of an nmlerstand-
tas in the btsinnins how plain, that the
wife wno could and would gladly help
him, may not make the mistake that so
many pf her worthy sisters have made
before her, of supposing that because
her husband was in business and his in
come indefinite, that it was consequently
unlim&ed and able to affect all sorts of
unreasonable extravagances.
If anythinor like the above plans should
be followed In the adjustment of family
affairs, it would do more toward render
ing wives and children self-respecting
and truly affectionate toward huabanll
and father, and consequently making
their homes happy, than any other
one change that could be wrought in
them. Burlington Eatckeye.
In An Air-Lock.
I climbed, down Saturday into the
tnnnertmder the Hudson River through
which the railroad trains of the next
decide are to run. The air-lock through
which the visitor must pass before reach
ing the workmen-is so different from all
. other places, jn the world as to merit a
brief description. In a well on tbe shore
1 1 cKmbeti down a ladder twentv feet or
so. and then found, lying partly con
cealed in earth, a sort of hog-head made
of boiler-iron half an inch thick- As I
wxs looking at the uncann thing one
end of it mysteriously opened and swung
inward, and a goblin voicu said. "Crawl
in. l silent lv obeyetl. ana the iron
, door ouicklv closed behind me. I found
myself with another human being who
was attinnl in rubber as I was. and who
had a candle. Ready.' he said, and
turned a lever at his side. . The inside of
the little tube in which we crouched was
filled with the most deafening whistle I
have ever heard. I knew that He was
now filling the chamber with compressed
air. Presently it began o press upon
my eyes. noe. throat, and especially my
ears, whose drums seemed pierced as
with pins. The candle went out, and
we were left in total darkness. The
shriek increased. The pressure became
verv painful. 1 touohed the arm of the-
engineer: in fact. I could not for a mo"
ment help touching it.' and he reversed
the lever for a moment to relieve the
pressure, presently turning iron again
with the unearthlv veil. 'Wiis sensation
was strangt. Crouched m an iron tuo with
a stranger, in total darkness, under the
earth, under the rivtr for aught I knew.
apparently living s.aiewhere at the rate

' feeling a terrible pressnre on my eyes
and ears', hot as Topliet, submerged in
' a bewildering scream, and at the mercy

' knew nothing it wae verv much aa I
i once telt wnen up m a Daiioon. it
t seemed hall an hour that l was m mere;
' it was -even or eight minutes, probablv.
when the whistle suddenly failed away,
the inner door opened, and we crawlt-d
out into candle-light the tup of another
well that went down thirty feet further.
Down this we climbed, and there were a
score or two of mon building the brick
shell of the tunnel. The air is about
three atmospheres "thick." so to speak.
and it L sufficient to keep the water back.
' so that the men can dig uninterruptedly
. in the black mud. If the air-pres-urv
; were withdrawn for a minute the river
would ruh in and drown the whole
party. Great care is observed, and they

comfortable and contented in there, and
the contractor is not required to pav anv

by the air-loek every day. but do not
mind it. This is th11 mo-t difficult part
of the river directly under the great
steamers lying at the wharves.
After watching the workmen a quarter
of an hour we -uirti out. On climbing
to the air-lock we discerned another vufl
in it the ell
of evidently frightened
men. -More
new hands. said mv

open, emitting a yelp of pain and terror;
a Uerman laDorer cum Deo out wun a
laugh. "A couple of green Italians."'
he said. They were still yelling. One
was lying on the bottom of the concern.
Shortly thev looked up and peep-d out. or
ratherin wjhere we were. They positively
refused to get out. The German could
not pull them out. Thty wildly
scratched at the outer i,001" and tried to
open it with an air pressure of.tweary
five tons on it! After much coaxing,
and wheedling, and bribing they still
refused, and had to be taken back, we
waiting outside. Then we got in and
took oiir ride back. In returning I did
not feel so much as if sven -trong men
were holding me and administering
laughing-ga.- to me. The trip w as quick".
Out on the bank '.we found the two
Italians, hing prostrate, bleeding-at the
nose. It sometimes produces tni enect.
but nothing more serious. However. I
don't think I should like to go through

Trinitv Church, New York, wai organ
ized the year 1696, under Governor Ben
jamin Fletcher, an aristocrat, who took a
deep hostility to the paramount impor
tance of the Reformed Dutch Church in
thia province. He had an evasive act
passed by the Assembly as Albany in
1691, which he construed to be a recogni
tion of the Protestant Eoisconal instead
I of the old Dutch Church, which was the
parent taith of this colony. Lie then
built Trinitv Church, which remained

This church remained for about a third
of a century the only Episcopal church
on thia island, until Trinity was finished:
After Trinity was burned it was rebuilt
the year before New York became the
American capitals In the year 1S40
this second church was pulled down,
and the present very expensive edifice of
brown stone was openetl for worship in
1346.
Trinity Church is a Gothic edifice,
about 200 feet long by about eisrhty feet
wide, with a spire 2M feet high. " This
churcb. was endowed bv Queene Anne.
It is considered the mother f Episcopal
churches in America. A Dutch "woman
named Anneke Jans owned a farm on the
island, nuw covered with costly buildings,
which was conveyed to this church, and
is the source of its riches. About eleven
years ago the value of Trinity real estate
was considered to be$40,00tnoo0 t$50,

The Trinity Church farm lay north of
Fulton street, on the west side of Broad
way, and was cut up in lots about the
year 1770. This form extended to Duane
street, and had been the pruperty of the
Dutch West India Company. The infa

flicted fine and imprisonment on a poor
Presbyterian prearher who wn turned to
preach in his private house beng very
zealous for the Established Church, gave
this confiscated farm in 17of to the Trin
ity corporation. The old farm-houe
stood where the A.-tor Hou.- now stands.
Trinity began to lease these lots in 17G0,
at 3 a year. "With the growth of this
