New Orleans Stales ; This is tlio sea
son of the year when the changeable
weather plants the wheezing cough and
choking cold in tlio breast of a New Or-
cans man and forces him in many in
stances to take to his bed. It is thus when
ylng helpless under her hands that the
wife eyes him with mute satisfaction , and
proeecds to get even with him for his
flights at the clubs and his shortcomings.
Of course , whatever she docs is for his
[ icfnunal welfareand to restore Ins health
is soon as possible. There Is no malice
, n her work , but as she insists it is merely
wifely kindness and solicitude. Tlie hus
band , however , thinks differently , but ho
rccogni/.es that he is in her power and is
therefore wise enough to remain silent.
Ills wife heeds not Ins appeals to attempt
no remedies until a physician has lirst
been consulted , but sets her lower jaw
lirmly and goes to work on him. A hot
mustard foot-bath is brought into
the room , aivl into it his feet arc
thrust and parboiled , lie may yell for
the bath to bo tempered with colii water
and swear that his legs are being scalded ,
but his frantic protests and expressions of
great wain avail nothing. His wife gently
insists that the bath would do him no
good whatever wore not the water just as
warm as ho could bear it , and then she
holds his knees and comples him to keep
Ins feet in the tub despite his angry snorts
and profane remarks. After boiling and
steaming his pedal extremities until they
arc the color of a cooked lobster she
wipes them and tucks them under the
cover as though she had performed a
pleasant duty. While her bettor half is
groaning and wondering if ho will over
be able to walk again she instructs him
to pull the blanket clo'o about his chin
and keep it t.icrc until she prepares
something to take the pain out Ins chest.
In less time than it takes to tell it she
builds a mustard plaster as large as a
door mat and plants it across his manly
bosom. Then the idea suddenly occurs
to her that the cold may have settled in
the small of his back , and she tears
up an old woolen gown , selects a patch
the size of a buckwheat cake , saturates
it with turpentine , applies it to the spot
and tells him not to take it off because it
burns. 15y the time the mustard in front
and tlio turpentine behind begins to roast
him the thought that he may bo threat
ened with meningitis causes her to again
make a trip to her scrap pile , ami eon a

on and his moans become feebler ether
plasters are fastened to his stomach and
between his shoulder-blades until the
Mirtace of his body looks like the design
for a rag carpet. HestilVered. No healthy
soul oil carlti knows how much , and af
ter a few days of agony his wife kindly
discharges him fiom her hospital as con

How She Caught n Hiislnuiil.
Au Illinois lady being matrimonial } ) '
inclined and having an eye to the main
chance , hit upon a novel idea during the
last strawberry season to catch a hus
band. She gave her namn as Miss Hcssir
Mayburn , and on the bottom of a straw
berry box- inscribed briolly anil in a del-
ieato hand her matrimonial inclinations ,
The note finally found its waj into tlic
newspapers , and as a ro'tilt Miss Hos iv
was the recipient of many answers. From
these she selected a suitor to whom slit
was subsequently married , and she goiv
crously divided tlio others around amonu
her unmarried but marriageable friends ,
From a batch of thirteen a youngjlady re ;
siding in a pleasant Iowa homo selcctci1
ono particularly pleasing to her fancy ,
opened a correspondoncc/and as a rosull
a wedding ensued. The third result ol
the seed sown by the capricious Hossio is
the ro-jont marriage of her mother-in
law , Mrs. M. M. Faulkner to Martin ti
Copoloy , an omployq of the National Mil

Mnrrlnco unit Divorce.
The question of marriage and divorce
is again occupying the attention of iniuo
of tlio protcstant denominations. O
these , denominations tlio Episcopalian :
appear to liavo the strictest marriagi
law , but they are not satisfied with it
and in their recent general couventioi
an ollbrt was niado to pass a mon
stringent canon"on the subject , but tin
effort failed for want of timo. It is said
however , by many Episcopalians tha' '
Koine of their clergy ignore the provision !
of the present law. and while this stati
of affairs is allowed to o\i t they tnlnk i
would bo useless to enact any more laws
The Congregationalists are also UIIMOH :
to do something in regard to this matter
but they don't appear to know just wha
to do. Tlio same Is true of the Presbyter
ians and other sects which have passec
resolutions omphasl/.ing the need o
doing something. On the ono hand , it i :
not deemed proper , oven if it were possible
siblo , to takn the Itoman Catholic grouiu
in regard to marriagi ) and divorce , al
though it is admitted by many protest
ants that tins would bo the strongcs
ground to take , And on the other hand
it is not deemed safe to take the grouni
that marriage is purely a civil contract
for the logical outcome of such a view i
just the very evil which it is desired d
correct. These two views being excluded
protestantism is compelled by the logii
of its position to tike a middle course
The church , it is hold , should throv

marriage , but the state may bo pennittei
to regulate it. It is a holy rite , but it i
also a civil contract. It should indeci
bo solemnized by the church , but it ma1

November .Mnrrlncc In Holland1.
Pull Mall.Oazcttp . : Of the twelve
nonthsof liio year November is lock-
oned in certain villages in Holland to bo
> y far the most important. The four
Sundays of this month are known re
spectively hs Heview Sunday , Decision
suiiday , Purchase Sunday and Po c.-Mon

voted to the less romantic task of ob

The Trnilc In Human Ilnlr ,
Pall Mall Gazette The trudo in human
hair is oneo more on the increase , and
artists in human hair keep a sharp look
out for opportunities to buy. Francothc
leader of all female fashions , is naturally
the country wlieto the largest trade in
this article is/lone. Whence the market
Is supplied with hair of all colors has
often been a matter of speculationwhich ,
however , has been satisfactorily ex
plained.
A large quantity of black hair comes
from China , but it appears that France.
hcr olt provides a largo quantity. For
merly the peasant women were often in
duced to part with their long hair tor a
few shillings' ! in convents , whore the hair
is always sjiorn , a good trade was also
done , and U is stated that not long ago
SIX ) pounds of hair were sold at one of the
religious establishments for tlie sum of
L'l.r > 00. It also frequently happens that
hair is cut from corpses , but this i.s of
less value than what is generally called
"living hair" that is to say , hair cut off
from living persons.
Curiously enough , an important part
of the business ot collecting hair is done
in the streets of Paris , whore the rag
gathers are said to collect every day an
average of 100 pounds of human hair.
Some statistics which have recently been
published on the different colors of hair
collected on the pavement and inthcdn-- !
bins of Paris show tlio following results.
Fair hair , 100 grammes ; reddish. 50 gram
mes ; red , 25 grammes ; black , 100
grammes ; brown , 500 grammes ; gray , SOO
grammes ; white,25 grammes. It appears
from this that white and red hair are the
rarest in Franco ; while brown , which ,
however , has a great many different
shades , is the most common color of hair.
It is interesting to compare those figures
with thoc'which Professor Virchow has
published in ( lormany as to tlic color of
hair of school children. According to
these the three colors of hair in German
schools are fair , light brown anil dark
brown , the ? comparative numbers being
thus : Fail } ; SW'.i,02 ' ; dark brown. SI 111.-

THE'SCIENCE ' OF SLEEP.
The Senses That First IJOSD CoiiBCl-
oiiHiiosM in Slumber Some In-
terpRtiiiff Facts.
Hrilish Medical Journal : Each success
ive gradation in sleep is marked by the
inclusion of a nervous system , which is
for the time being shut off , so to speak ,
from participating in the general life
functions of the individual until , when
tlio maximum intensity is attained , noth
ing is left but the purely animal one
might almost say the negative life.
Sleep of tiiis degree of intensity , although
a perfectly normal process , is not , in
health , of long duration. After the lapse
of : i vcnablo space of time tlio systems
one by ono resume their functions1 , until
finally the Hum of exceptions bringsabout
the condition of awakening.
The brain shares in the need , which is
everywhere apparent , of periods of rest.
The products of cerebral activity accu
mulate more rapidly than they are elimi
nated , and a period therefore arrives
when tlie tissues are no longer able to
do their work. The result is an invinci
ble feeling of indisposition to exertion ,
physical or mental. The temporary and
involuntary cessation of activity is at
once followed by a diminution of the
blood simply ; tlio ana'inia so induced
being , therefore , a consequence , and not
ti calico , of tlio state of rope o
The various pai ts of the nervous sys
tem ure not all involved simultaneously
or to the same ovient. The centres gov
erning voluntary movements are the lirst
to 1)0 affected , as seen in the nodding of
the head and the closure of the eyelids ,
and the body , if not prevented , tends to
assume the position of repose determined
by the laws of gravity. Tlio special
senses soon follow , but here again they
are not abrogated en masse. Sight is the
first to go , the stimulus no longer reach
ing that portion of the cerebrum where
it can give rise to a definite sensation ,
oven where the closuio of the lids has
not shut off external stimuli altogether.
Hearing and smell are remarkably per
sistent , and , except in the dcupe.it sloop ,
may bo .said to bo only dulled uiid not ex
tinguished. Evcrvoiio is familiar with
the case with which sleep is put to tin
end by unaccustomed noise , even of slight
Intensity , or , bettor still , by tlio cessation
of any monotonous sound , as lorinstanco
the awakening of travelers by rail or
steamboat on any stoppage of the trainer
or machinery. Instances are on record ,
too , where tlio in habitants of a house
liavo been been roused him ply by the
smell of tobacco indulged in by inexper
iences or incautious burglars. The per
sistent sensibility of these senses may ,
to some extent , bo accounted for by the
fact that they are not cut off from 'com
munication with the outside world as are ,
for oxatupl , IJio eyes , To allow sleep ,
or at any rate quiet sloop , a certain har
mony must , exist in the condition of all
the organsj which must , so to speak , ho
tuned to the sloop timo. If ono organ bo
in a state qf activity , or , on the other
hand , its condition bo abnormal in some
other way , the soiisorlum refuses to abdi
cate Its control , This i > > familiar to us in
the case of cerebral activity or cold feet
at bed-timo' , ' both being Inimical to sleep.
Inasmuch , therefore , as insimnla may
result from cither set of causes , wo can
cither omp'loj' drugs , such as opium ,
which act directly on the nerve conlord ,
nml so bring about sleep ; or wo may re
sort to medicines like hypnotic , which is
said to favor sleep rather than induce it
by allaying the irritable or hyperoithetic
condition of certain organs or parts.

Golden Hide : One often roads or hears
it said that the neaee and happiness of
the household depends upon the wife or
mother. The assertion is not strietlv
true. I'll allow that as she is or should
be with her children more , her intlnencc
is greater than any one's else ; hut docs
not the father's dally example sometimes
counteract that mlliionce ? Children are
close observers and are apt imitators of
their elders. Should the father bo ad
dicted to the habit of fault-finding , es
pecially in regard to the food set before
him nt meal time , and the weury , dis
couraged wife in the vain attempt to
defend licr reputation as nook arouses
his ire by making excuses , then the chil
dren of the lamily will bo listeners to an
angry liradeor to what is worso-ra quar
rel Of the mother has not complete con
trol of her temper ) ; and of course
they will bo apt to follow the example
set before thorn , and discord will reign in
the family. That is not an attractive
picture of homo lifo , yet in boine families
such a scene is enacted almost every day.
Men often mar the happiness of wives
and children by ianlt-linding , and surely
they add nothing to their own peace of
mind by indulging in it. It is just as
much the husbands duty to sit down to
the table with a cheerful , sunshiny laoo ,
null make the best of the food set before
him , as it is the wife's duty to keep the
house in order , and prepare tlio meals
regularly.
Woman's oM'orts to please ir. thn mat
ter of cooking are rarely appreciated ,
or , if so , she hears no word of common *
dation. Men do not seem 10 realix.o how
much iv woman's heart hungers for
words of > praise from their husband's
lips. If hho prepares some dainty dish
to tempt his appetite , he is lee careless
to note how eagerly she waits to know If
he likes it. Appreciation is ono of the
best incentives the world nlibrds. After
the labors incident to the preparation of
a meal , how it seems to rust a wife to
near her husband bay : "How nice and
light your biscuit are , " orVifo.this ,
meat is cooked to suit my taste , " and
other words of commendation , A few
words of approval repay her for the
trouble.
Just try this for oneo , cureless husband
and .see if your wife's face does not light
up , and all traces of weariness disappear
on the instant. Oh , think of the many
things you can do 10 brighten her life. A
little appreciation by ono she loves goes
a good way towards making a woman
happy. Many a weary wife drags out
her life unappreciated , scarcely linilmg
a word of hympathy from her husband.
"Ho bus direful wonH for tlio stranger ,
Anil amlles for tlio sometimes guest ,
Hut oft for his own tlie Mttur tnau.
Though ho lovca his own tlio bout. "
That such n man's homo is unhappy Is
mainly his ow/i fault.
A Model JloslOHH.
Detroit Free Press : How.to make one's
guests comfortable and happy is a prob
lem that will always knot the brows of
conscientious ho-stess , A writer in Fi
garo describes a gem of a hostess hi those
appreciative words :
" 1 am jiifet now with my married sis
ter and her husband sharing the hospit
ality of a most charming chatelaine in
the west of Kngland , and , though we
have only been in the house a couple of
days , it is already apparent that our
hostess mudo the entertainment of her
guests a serious study , which she has un
dertaken with n complete success , From
the moment we arrived at the country
roadside station , where a carriage was
waiting for us and a cart lor the luggage ,
every want and wish bad been ttiougnt-
fully anticipated. My.bed room is n per
fect jjcm so cOsy.socomfortable , and yet
so pretty , nnd everything in such good
taste. My writing-table is simply de-
liglittul plenty of htationary of all kinds ,
good pens , sealing waxmatches. a taper ,
nothing has been forgotten. There is
even an ornamental cam , framed like a
photograph , with the lime of arrival and
ilepartiire of the local post on it. Not
only is the tire always burning brightly
when I go to bed , but it is lighted again
quite early , almost noiselessly , long be
fore I tret up , anil kept in all day , now
that it is rainy and chilly. Then there is
a bright little copper kettle always on the
hearth , ready for use should I want hot
water , and just , enough llowcrs to make
( lie room gays and chosen carefully too ,
so that their scent may not bo otlousivoor
dangerous. The early DUD of teabrought ,
about 8 o'olonk on a light little tray with
a spotless white napkin , a tiny' 'jug of
fiv.sh cream , and a couple of slices of thin
and eribp bread and butter , is of course
not a novelty ; but tlio small tin of new
mixed ujscints and tlio glass of milk
wjiieli I find placed by my bedside each
night coiibtituto a new experience , and
are anol.her proof of our hostess' in
genious tlionghtfulness on her guest's be
half. And so it has been all day long.
Every hour has brought fresh instances
of her desire to anticipate every po
wish. "
Cnrd-Playlnjr nt tlio Family Flrcslrtr.
Hill Arp , m AtlantaConstitutlon : After
all it is , as my preacher says , the influ
ence of bad associations that makes many
things wrong that are not wrong in them
selves. There is certainly no more harm
in a gaum of cards by the family llresido
than in a game of marbles or Jack in tlio
bush or hull-gull or word-making. There
is a chance and skill in mo.st all games.
Hut cards are used by gamblers , ando (
cards are under tlie ban just like the
violin used to bo under the ban because
music was most frequent , in the iloggcry.
Hut these prejudices are going away. I
visited several club-rooms in North Carolina
lina , vvhuro billiard tables wore part of
tlic furniture , but no young man could
become a member , or oven bo admitted ,
who was in the habit of drink
ing The ministers and ladies of
the town wore members. There
wore good libraries and all the standard
magazines and newspapers. ( Jooil lires
were kept , and good manners were the.
rule , The young men who
travel for commercial houses con
tinually , always found welcome
there. There surely is nothing wrong in
an ocoassional game of billiards wheio
the association is. good. Of cour o , wo
should have rospool to the prejudices of
our fathers and of good people , but not
to the exclusion of everything that is
disliked. Whllo we bend they must bond
a little , too. You can't keep a bo\ from
running a pony race to mill because
some lolks bet on horse races. Human
iriluro must liavo Its natural freedom ,
and I am not ono of those who believe
that all our natural impulses are bad ,
.Most of thorn are good.Vo \ would
rather do a kindness than an Injury.
When tin ; case is made that touches our
feelings wo are ready to respond , Thn
boy must go through his sports ami tlio
young man his reasonable pleasures.

The rearo many women always doing
more than they are able , so are continu
ally drawing on their capital. Do > s the
mother or housekeeper Know what be
comes of the woman who uses , every
day , H liUlu more than luir interest on
her health capital v Well , by and liy.oliu
has no capital , but she has something
that pln.sicians oall nervous prostration.
To keep well Mio miiht get enough re l
nnd bleep , not , only to imtkd the interest ,
but to keep this capital strong. Visiting
nnd being visited rests ono , though there
nr exceptions , of cour o. There are
homo women who stay at homo , year
after ieur , until they begin to feel that if
they weru to go away something dreadful
would happen to their homes tuo houses
would disappear , or they tliemsolycs
would meet with some fatal accident
There are better wayo of doing i-omo
things. These ways are a suylngof time ,
or money , or both. Ono can learn these
by visiting. Sometimes n good house
keeper can learn things negatively , just
as a. good teacher learns by visiting a
very poor ono. There is cause , then ,
upon nor return home for congratulation
and thinking " 1 must never get into such
a habit ! " At the same time , adyico
given judiciously to one who is not a good
manager , or has Jacked an early oppor
tunity , mid perhaps docs few things well ,
is very acceptable , especially it ono can
honestly learn or praise some work at
the same time and say ! am glad to know
that it looks bettor than mine. A low
persons are true inNsionnric's , but with
"no sense of mission to bo performed. "
They do good wherever they go. Ono
housekeeper illustrated this bv saying ;
that slip was always glad lo have Mrs. A.
come in , booau.sc sno always learned
something valuable from her , but "sho
does not take for granted that I know
nothing at all , as Mrs. H. does. "
