" The Onro of IJnHliiuiiIs. MVIffoi/orl/ie / i'miildM life. A popular and delightful writer in a recent artielo explains to young1 wives a great many ways and means by which they may retain the love and devotion of their husbands and spread the glam our nnd gleam of the honeymoon out over the widening years of existence. All thlHia nieoand good in its wnybut sometimes the point with girls is to got the husband. There is whore all the effort is. There is not much thought wasted on the aflor-dillleulties , us every girl Imagines herself fully competent to manage a husband , once no iseaught. The process works much after the old rccipo for cooking a hare : "First catch your haro. " The rest is catty , as all that in required to completely cook a husband is to keep him continually in hot water. There arc a great many ways of mak ing things interesting for a husband , and most wopien understand them , hut whan it comes to amusing them and keeping them good-natured , it is much like learning to mannge the first baby. "Theso are a few of the simplest rules given in the artielo before mentioned. "Always keep the house in order and have meals on time. " "Always bo neatly dressed and your hair becomingly arranged. " ' 'Never allow the children to annoy him , and always moot him with a smilo. " "Oh , yes , smile , Rtnilo always. II ho boxes the baby's ears and kicks the cat out the back door because there is a but ton oil his coat smilo. If ho brings company homo at honso- clenning time smile. If ho comes homo late at night from n democratic rally with his nose vicing the hues of his bandana , gently guide his tottering footsteps up the stairs and smile. Ohl the dear husbands , what pamper ing1 and potting and spoiling it docs take to retain their affection , and really when ono thinks it all over it scows scarcely worth the while. Women hacT'bottcr spend their time and pains in pleasing themselves , and get some comfort out of existence. "A man may Binilo and smile nnd ho a villian , " but the woman who is compelled to wear through life that never ending and over extending smile is surely , or at least must boon bo an angel. J. JACQUKS. Kho Caught Him. Detroit Free Press : By reason of his skillful maneuvering nnd great adroit ness , Mr. Billings had lived to the ago of forty-nine without becoming a bono- dictj but in an unguarded moment the discipline of a lifetime availed him nothing. It was on a Afay morning that he strolled into a garden with Miss Tonio McGinnis , a spinster of forty-eight. They sat down on a garden bciich , and Mr. Billings unwittingly said : "Sco those robins building their nest in that oht apple trco. " "Oh-M. BillingbP'but I3illincsFeem- ing to huvo lapsed into idiocy , rambled on : "Don't you like to sco the little birds mutoV" "Oh , Mr. Billings ; how you do talk !

" "Sco hero , Miss - " "Hush , darling , some ono is coming. " And when their host nnd hostess ap peared Miss MnGinniH blushed and eaid with down-cast eyes : "We're engaged. " And Billings hadn't ' the nerve to deny it BO they wcro married. She Shook Htm. The Allyu dlvorco case was heard In Judge Jamioson's room recently savB the Chicago Times. Mrs. Linda 13. Allyn , the wife who sued William II. Allyn for divorce , is an aristrcratie-ap- poariijg woman of thirty-seven years , nndquito good looking. The All.\ns were married in Now York in 1B7D and lived together for thirteen years. They had three children two boys nnd ono girl and never .vas homo happier or Jiuui ami wife moro contented than the Allyns. But ono day Mr. Allyu meta woman of many charms of face , though lucking in character. She entrapped him in her ( mures and ho foil. For her ho loft his wlfo , his homo , his children. His pusbion was of short duration , how ever. lit a few days ho saw the interior of the base woman s heart ; his fascina tion vanished , and hate arose in its Etoad , It was such a short time since ho was happy in his homo and ho bopod to bo able to return and bog forgiveness. Mrs. Allyn had been wronged , her chil dren had boon disgraced , and her htis- bamt's vow of constancy , had been broken. She said she jiovor could trubt him again. She remembered him kindiy in her heart and pitied him , but she could never forget. That was six vcars ago. Site caino to Chicago a few laonths later , and has remained hero ever since , but she never did forgot. Not long ago Mr. Allyn came hero as the representative of a big Louisville " ial company , lie saw his wife and " 'Idron and prayed again for forgive- 63. "You may BOO your children and eve them our love is dead , " was the roplv of Mri Allyn. In order to foftify horfa'olMn the resolve she , on Juno u I i last applied for' ft dlvorco. Mr. Alljn offered no dc fence aud o.n the charge of adultery she WHS granted a divorce. Mr. Alfyn's lawyer was In court nnd agreed to pay "ifIn mouth alimony to Mrs. Allyn. "IU < lov ts o stronj ! ' for his children,1 < said the lawyer , "that I would prefer not to specify any sum to bo paid for llicir support. Ilia heart will cauo him to do Well by thorn , * ' and the judge said "all right. " Clioofln n Iliiftlmtul , Pittslnirg Cominoi'cial Gazette : Hus bands arc not inado to order ; they just grow. To get a peed ono you have to know him when you BOO him. Ho inny not look llko the man your fancy painted , yet you will recognize in him the quail- tics that go to mnke uj > the reliable , en- torpriHiiig. nmlablo man. As a rule women tire not possessed of acute business minds , and are not as observant as they might be. Ono after another they will fall into the same open trap , just as though they wore blindfolded or impelled by pome uncon trollable force. The maiority of them Bccm to think that they must marry , and all that is necessary is to find a man that is good looking or rich. The average girl llrst takes a fanny tea a pretty man. and thinks and dreams of his lovely hair , charming eyes , elegant ilrcHS , divine moustache and dove-like voice. She declares that ho is too sweet for anything. Tills fever passes off in time , hut too often it leaves a perverted taste. A dandy figure , swell manners nnd clat tering tongue are apt to even outweigh a good heai-1 , Industrious habits and moral worth. Uvon after marriage visions of the early ideal rise un to disturb the seren ity and tranqnllity of the domestic scone. Better such an ideal had never boon formed. Her Only Fault , They wore seated as usual. 1 believe I do not need to explain , says the San Francisco Chronicle. You know how. They had reached that confidential state when , after months of anxiety and doubts and fears us to whether she loved him or not , haying found out that she was only too willing , ho felt like back ing out. "Well , you see , I am poor dearest. " "I dent care. It dues not cost much to hoop a wife. " "No , I suppose not. " "Not when ono loves , George. " "No , I suppose not. " "Ah , you think I am extravagant. 1 am not. It's all well when pa pays , you know. That's all right. But if I were your wife " "Dearest ! " ( Five minutes for refreshments. ) Yes , I can bo so economical. It doesn't really cost any more to keep two than ono. " "Yos. 1 suppose ; yes. But it depends upon which one. " "O , I can keep house. " "Yes , dearest , but can IV" " 1 can cook. ' ' 'My love , I would not wish you to do any hard work. [ would not wish you to soil your dainty hands. Don't you think , dear , wo might live at a restaur ant until until " "Until wlicnV" "Until I could hrnco myself to eat what you cooked. ' ' Even that did not help him. She said , "All right , " and laughed , and the wedding goeu. _ CONNUUIAJjlTIKS. Do you ask mo if life is worth living 1 Well , I certainly liiul it so : Antl the reason I do not iniiul givlnp Hecauso I'm not married , you know. Miss Leolino Daniels , of Athens , Ln. , while preparing for her wedding , became suddenly ill nnd died about the hour she waste to have uccn married. The lovers drowned in Silver Lake , New York , were buried ut Warsaw on Tuesday in the presence of J,00i ! ) persons. A bridal veil lay over the face of Miss Strouse. A South Carolina girl was married five times in seven weeks , and is now bothered to know which one of the chaps Is her true husband. She has been sent to jail to think it over. A man in Chicago has Just asked for a divorce from his wile because , though living in the house with him , she has kept silent for three years. That man would want the earth and u slice of New Jersey. Two Tennessee lovers walked forty-eight miles to get the knot tied , and then met with u refusal because the young chap did not have .10 cents to pay the justice. It is u bliiiino that happiness has to bo purchased with money. The Rev Joe Jones , brother to the ono nnd only Sam , has just married down in South Carolina , nnd now his irate mothcr-m-law- that-wouldn't-havo-bcen has the bride under lock and key , with the threat to "shoot the lirst man that sets loot in her house" with a purpose of liberation. At Washington Court House , Ohio , there was the other day u case of love-nt-Ilr.st-sicht so severe that the couple wcro wedded within the hour of their meeting ; but as the bride groom was rich and sovcnty-llve and the undo n spinster of forty odd. they doubtless thought they had no time to loso. front Memphis , Tcnn. , comes n pitiful fitory of n beautiful society girl , who wedded n rich old man while her heart was given to n young one. and returned from the bridal trip to the elegant home of her new husband only to become so violently Insane that she has been placed in an asylum. A Hhilr county ( lja. ) couple of rather ma ture ago applied to the clerk at Iliintiii tou for a licensethu other day. In putting the formal questions the clerk asked : "IIuvo you been married before !

Berlin None Spiriltmllstischo Blact- ter : In the your l.SW I made a journey around I'ape Horn , in company with my wife , who one day ' aid to mo , "Can you explain thoknockings which 1 hear bo often In the cabin ? " I answered. ' I'orhaps it comes from spirits. " When she ngnln heard the knot-kings 1 wont with her tolhe cabin , and by the alpha bet the name "Lydia" was spelled out. This was the name of my wifo's dead mother , and wo now know that she was with us on our journey. When it was very .stormv , and my wife , from the heavy rolling of the vessel , became frightened , she was reassured when she , from the knocks spelled out : "Bo still ; there Is no danger. " "One morning , at l.1flsho : woke mo and bald : "Quick ! up ! I hoar knockings - ings ; intiyho it denotes danger. " Since in my former travels I have had during the middle of a night , an experience of a shipwreck , I am in the habit of keep ing most of my clothes on in stormy weather : therefore it was not long before I was on deck. I found the lioau sailor on lookout ; nothiu unusunl hnd taken pluL'o. but I said to him : "In a night like this my vessel was once run down ; therefore look out sharp exam ine everything and sec that ail is right. " I returned to the cabin and informed my wife that I had not discovered any danger. Immediately after wo heard knockings which spoiled out : "Thehhip Sabine is near ; tho.rofore be careful , so rs not to btriko together. " 1 rushed on deck just in time to avoid a collision with the coming vessel , which passed very near with the utmost haste , bothnt wo , in the btorm and darkness , could not oven "speak" her. Just as I was conversing with mv wife about what had taken place , and had remarked that the danger might come at borne time so quickly that wo could not have oppor tunity to spell out the knoekings , wo hoard raps again , which rendered this sentence : "In every coming danger wo will knock Ilvo times in the direction from which that danger throatens. " I said : "Give me proof of it , " and In the same moment came live loud knocks as from a hammer so pronounced as to have awakened anyone from sleep , had such been his condition. A Ghostly Crc\v. At St. Marks , Fla. , the negroes and many of the whites are in an oxeited condition over the reported ghost that is now s-cou at the wharves on the bay on the first of every month. As near as can bo learned , last year a colored man was killed yhilo driving piles kn- the lower pier , his death being a horri ble one. The pile-drivers u od here are shaped like a tall derrick , having tuo mainmasts rising upscparatcd porno two feet. The huge iron weight is groved inside of these two , and after being hauled up to the toj > by a douky cnirino , is lot go , falling with immense force upon the big upright pines that arc intended for piles , underneath , them down several feet every blow. Ono man is generally stationed near where the namnior strikes to attach the chain to haul it up again with , nnd also to watch the head of the pile , to sec that it docs not splinter too much. The grow cnrelss after a tine , and many accidents occur every year. This man , it booms , while the weight was being lifted stopped on top of the upright pile that was being driven in , to steady it and push it to ono side. Suddenly the iron chain above slipped , and the huge iron mass fell with terrible force and swiftness upon the doomed man. A dull , bieken- ing thud was heard , and portions of his body were plastered all over the boat nnd derrick beams and on the wharf beneath. Strong men became faint , ana work on that pile-driver was oil for a week. The story POOH became known far and wide , and the superstitions negroes re fused to work on it , claiming that it was unlucky , and that the ghoit of the dead man stood watch over it , trying to got homo one else into trouble. But as no other accidents occurred the driver lost its ill name and was kept at work. Some time ago , while driving piles some miles below hero , the man who attended to the attaching of the chain to the hammer , grow careless and lost nn arm by it. This started the old story again on its round. Ono negro , who was standing near when this last accident occurred , i-olemnly avers that ho saw the gliost of the man who was killed seated on top of the pile and that ho hold the other man's arm on it until the descending hammer smashed it. The man himself who lost the arm im plicitly believes that such was the cuso , and bays ho couldn't get his arm oT ! ; in fact , ho felt some ono hold it on. Several others say that they visited the piledrivcr the other night nnd they saw a ghostly crow work the machinery. The big wheel revolved , carrying tlio iron hammer up , though they saw no one on the boat nnd there was 'no steam up in the engine. Tlio hammer was drawn up and then it fell swiftly. Ao ii touched the head of the big pile rest ing there , not a sound of its striking WIIH heard , but instead a wild , smothered yell of agony and a dull thud like the fatriking of tlenh. Then demonical shrieks and groans broke out on the bout nnd the men were ho thoroughly scared that they ran for homo and have refused over since to return. Not a negro , it is said will venture within half a milo of the place after dark. They bay tlio pile-driver is charmed and unlucky , and the ghost of the one who wns killed standb ready there to got M > mo ono oho killed , us ho is lono- boino and wants company.

C night n Ohosr. About 1 o'clock yesterday morning two young ladies who live with Mrs. Mnrgarct Ku-by , 885 Forrest street , facreamed and cried out that thcv had been a ghoat in the back yard , and that it wa > > trying to got into the house , wiys the Dnltimoro American of .Juno lioth. Airs. Kirby looked out of the back win dow and saw an object ns high ns a man , covered from head to foot with a white sheet. She was a little frightened , but plucked ui > courage enough to aslc what it wanted. It answered in a mini's voice , s-njing it was a good friend of hers , calling her by the name of a lady who formerly lived there. Ho knocked for admifbion repeatedly. She blippcd on a wrapper , ran down to the front door , and rapped as hard as bhe could on the pavement with a broom stick. The night being warm and still , several neighbors and Policeman Finnerty heard the rapping and answered it. When they got to the door the ghobt had como out of the yard on Forrest btreot and was running toward Kager street. After a chnso of about two blocks the policeman captured the ghost , who proved to be a peniten tiary convict named Harrison Davis , who had served nine years nnd a hall of a ten years' sentence for horse-stealing in Wicomico county. Ho said it was pretty warm up in the third story of the penitentiary whore ho resided , and that ho had let himself down to the yard be low with his bedsheot , which ho wrap ped around his convict suit , which would betray him. Ho climbed over the prison wall and got into Mrs. Kirby's yard. It was hitch a neat , quiet job that the guardn knew nothing about the es cape. A Spirit .Story. A Crescent City ( Fla. ) correspondent of the Jinnner of Light writes : Dr. A. W. S. Kothormol recently hold in the Lyceum hall a seance in the light to the great wonderment of the audience , only a few having before seen such phenom ena. A few nights afterward ho hold a full form materializing soaneo in the parlors of Prof. Frank lioiworth. The room was filled with invited ladies and gontlomen. The seance opened with physical demonstrations in the light , after which tlio lights were arranged for the full form appearances. Many appeared at the opening of the curtain and some came out to the bitters , "Kmnm' ' ( one of the doctor's controls ) came and danced ; I2il Wht'olor came quito strong , and walking to a window drew the curtain itnido , so that in tlio bright moonlight nil could sco him plainly. Mnny friends of the bitters came , but all could not give their names. At ono time two forms np- penred at the curtain at once , ono of thorn holding a little child. Most of the sitters were wonderhtruck , only four of thorn over having witnessed ful'l form materialization before. What thny beheld will give thorn food for thought for bomo time to come.

A mass of copper weighing about twenty tons has been found at Copper Falls , Mich. , and is being cut up into inciclmntublc-slzud chunks. Dr. Dye , of Jessup , Ga. , has n cow that is perfectly hairless throughout spring and summer , and only puts her coat on at Hie beginning of the fall. A Lebanon ( Conn. ) man who committed suicided lately during an attack of hereditary melancholia is the third of his family who perished in the same way. Down at Anderson , S. C. , they have two boss curiosities a pourd that holds three and one-half pillon * and a frr.iss that exudes a gum which will hold any furred or feath- ereJ thing that tries to get over it. Sume hen's eggs that were accidentally covered up by some men plowing at 1'ctal- unm , Cal. , last summer , were hatched by the heat of the sun upon the earth , and the noise made by the chicks led to their discov ery and release. William Owens , u laborer employed on a farm near Snrioxle , Mo. , died suddenly last week , and an examination developed the fact that a needle , wlueli had run into his back some months ago , hail worked in until it reached his heart. A sparrow has built u nest on one of the trncKS of a Delaware , Laekuwunnii & West ern passenger coach , and makes regular trips to Syracuse and return. The bird is sitting on two eggs , ami seems to bo undis turbed by tlio noise and confusion. A moccasin having been killed near Smith- ville , Gn. , some boys , out of curiosity , made n post-mortem examination of its body. To tlieir amazement they discovered that it had swallowed a snukoof length nearly eijual tote to its own , IL-SS the head , which had been chewed off. The residence of A.
