How to Train a Wife
'Next thing I buy for the house will be
a new wt of dlahes," said the Hopeful
Housewife one evening.
The Confirmed Commuter made no reply,
though he realised that his wife's remark
was the beginning of the end that It waa.
In fact. Just a, diplomatic announcement of
her decision that some new china muat be
had at once and that aha would be pleased
to receive the money for It.
For a week or more ahe contented her.
aelf with reading aloud all the glowing ad
vertisement! of china bargains ahe could
dlacover In the evening papers and of be
ginning every other sentence with "when
I go to town to buy the new china," or "I
wonder whether that china closet 'will be
big enough to hold my new dUhes?"
At the end of that time the Confirmed
Commuter capitulated.
"Why don't yot) go Into town with me
tomorrow and buy It?" he asked.
The light of victory flamed for a moment
In his wife's eyes.
"Why I'd Just love to go tomorrow!"
she giggled delightedly, at the same time
casting about In her mind for the hidden
reason of hla amiable yielding.
There waa a long, significant silence.
"How much money do you want?" asked
the Commuter finally. "But before you
tell ma I want you to understand that 1
won't spend a cent more than $26 on
dishes," he added quickly. "Will $25 be
enough?"
"Oh, I don't know, dear; It ahould have j
some gold on It and gold la so expensive
Slid"
"Well!" repeated the Commuter, "how
much will be enough but no matter what
you think, 125 Is my limit." s
There was another long, significant
pause.
Suddenly she smiled her moat Ingratiating
smile.
."I do wish you would come with me,"
she said. "You have such wonderful taste
In auch things, and I'm almost afraid to
pick out anything without your advice."
"Huh!" exclaimed the Commuter, gruffly.
"I'm no china expert."
"Yes you are!" she replied, flatteringly.
"I've never known a man who had such
Infallible Judgment aa to what Is really
beautiful!"
"You say that because I picked you out."
observed the gratified Commuter, purring
under the gentle stroking of flattery, "but
I don't mind taking an earlier train and
going with you. I gueaa t'd better go along
anyhow to keep you from spending too

You are one of the numerous summer
girls. It's a plaint of yours that there are
so many more of you than of summer man.
After a somewhat careful observation of
t you at the beach I am Inclined to wonder
that there are any summer men, even the
.underahod oollegiana or the overdressed
floorwalkers.
Yes, I am dlBgusted with you, absolutely
and thoroughly. I tell you, a lady's a lady
whether she's upside down with her head
stewing in an African hot-pot or right side
up 'and bouncing in the billows. And, if
you cannot manage to preserve your lady

fundamentally wrong with your brand of
ladyhood.
No, I'm not a crank or a prude. I am
Just a woman with sense enough to see
that every time one of us sheda the In
describable and lovely garment of reserve
and delicacy we lop off a limb of our own
life-tree.
Men hate coarseness In a woman. And
I frankly own that I esteem a consideration
of what the best men like as a deep and
worthy study for any woman. Just as I
regard the ways and means of pleasing a
good woman as splendid exercise for men.
I don't know how to say It plainer than I
have, but, at least, I can repeat It another
way: You cannot beat the courtesan at
her own game. She wins the poor, tawdry
rewards, a coin as worthless as what she
gives But you girls ean win by playing
your own game, and the good cards are
your refinement, your appeal to the best
of man and your Inspiration to his ideals.
and, consequently, his efforts for the worth

But Just listen to me when I tell you that
you cannot parade about on a sandy beach,
obviously courting physical Inspection, and

Ancient Methods of
Anent the raging Wlley-MoCabe argu
ment, someone has dug up the following In
teresting account of old Oerman methods
of enforcing pure food laws:
In Nuremberg everything was officially
Inspected and the penalties were such that
records of second offenses do not exist.
In 1444 one man was burned alive, using as
the fuel his adulterated saffron. To make
the nonadulteration of saffron more effec
tive, the following year two men and one
woman were burned alive with their adul
terated products.' Whether this was "mak
ing the punishment fit the crime" may be
questioned, but It oertalnly attained the
desired object of preventing a eecond of
fense by the parties Involved.
In Augsburg offending bakers, short
weight or Impure flour, were put Into a
casket, hung on a long pols and ducked Into
s muddy pool. No- special attempt was
ade to have the mud especially soft, and
the final result was generally fatal; at
least no record shows that any baker was
punished a second time. When la doubt
as to the exact person guilty of the offense,
the whole family. Including employee, were
ducked.
At Blerberich on the Rhine in 14S1 a sus
pected falsifier of wine waa made to drink
six quarts of his own wine, and as he died
from the effects, the adulteration was con
sidered proven. The time limit of the drink
ing waa a very short one; from the meager
description of the proceedings I would
Judge not much over a minute or two.

New York.
'Dinner set, sir 7 Yea, sir," murmured
the salesman. "We have them from $19.6
to $600. Something about $19.50, sir?" he
added with colossal lack of tact.
The Hopeful Housewife dropped under
the tacit assumption of their financial
l.mltations, but the Commuter fairly
bristled, and, withering the unfortunate
salesman with a glance, he said, In frigid
accents: "I want something that pleases
me! Show your china, and when I see any
thing that suits me you can tell me the
price!"
The salesman subsided, the Hopeful
Housewife beamed.
At the end of a quarter of an hour she,
gating In hopeless rapture at an obviously
expensive dinner set, was thus Interrupted
by her lord:
"You like that? Well, take It! How much
shall I make out a check for?" he added,
as If by sfterthought, to the salesman.
"Ninety-five dollars, sir!"
Undaunted, the Commuter drew forth his
oheck book.
''But, dear" protested the aghast
Housewife.
"But what?" said the Commuter, aggres
sively, as he wrote the check. "Isn't It
good enough? Why, I think It's quite a
nice little set for so little money!" ,

Abraham with his wife and Lot, his
nephew, hsd returned from their sojourn
In Egypt. "Abraham was very rich In
cattle. In silver and gold." Lot also had
large possessions in "flock and herds and
tents." Their combined holdings were so
large that it became difficult to obtain
sufficient pasturage for their large number
of cattle. Hence a very serious strife arose
between the herdsmen of the two cattle
kings. While Abraham had wonderfully
fallen from grace during hie stay In Egypt,
on his return to Canaan and to Bethel, "the
place of the altar and he had" made In
former years, and there he "called on the
name of the Lord." Arising from his com
munion with God, he said to Lot: "Let
there be no strife, I pray thee, between
me and thee and between thy herdsmen
and my herdsmen, for we are brethren. Is
not the whole land before thee? Make your
choice; If you will take the left hand I
will take the right hand, or If you want
the right hand I will go to the left hand."
Lot looked over the beautiful Jordan
valley, so rich and productive, "even like
the garden of the Lord," and he quickly
made hla choice. Just on the border of
that fertile plain stood the demonlsed city
of Sodom.
Strange to say, Lot pitched his tent near
by the city. He committed no sin In choos
ing the rich, beautiful plain for his own;
for Ood loves the beautiful as his works
attest, and he has implanted the like In
stinct in the souls of men. There is no
sin In elegant mansions with splendid
furnishings and fair gardens. So there Is
no evil In desiring fertile fields Instead of
barren rocks to cultivate. The well watered
fields of the Jordan plains were upon to
the choice of Lot as well as ths bleak
Judean hills. Neither Is there sin in living
near-by or in a great city. Lot bad a
perfect right to pitch his tent in the
suburbs of Sodom or to live In a man
sion on the city's most beautiful avenue,
If he so desired. No evil In that. But his
sin was In his greed and selfishness. His
wealth was the gift of Ood through ths
splendid business ability of Abraham and
the generous treatment Lot received at
his hands. He ought to have said to his

Benjamin Franklin, patriot, philosopher,
philanthropist, was born In Boston, in ITW8.
He died on April 17, 1790. and during his
eighty-four years of life he saw the
growth of the American national spirit
snd the formation of the Union, of which
be was one of the moving spirits.
He was the son of a chandler, and
In his autobiography, which Is one of the
great books of the world, he speaks of his
early life In this way:
"At 10 years of age I was called home
to assist my father in his occupation,
which was that of a soap boiler and tal
low chandler a bualness to which he hsd
served no apprenticeship, but which he
embraced on his arrlcal In New England,
because he found his own, that of a dyer,
In too little request to enable him to main
tain hla family. I was accordingly em
ployed in cutting the wicks, filling the
moulds, taking cars of the shop, carrying
messages, etc"
During the revolution he did much to
enlist the sympathies of France In the
struggling nation.
Horace Greeley said of him:
"When I contemplate the Immenee va
riety and venaatillty of Franklin's ser
vices to his country and to mankind
when I think of him aa a writer whose
first effusions commanded attention In
his early boyhood as the monitor and

recorded that Lot sought the councils of
the Lord. He put riches first. That was his
supreme ambition. "He that maketh haste
to be rich shall not be Innocent." "Peek

How many there are like Lot, who seek
the world first, not thinking to neglect God,
but for the time being put Christianity in
the "corners of their Uvea," forgetting that
the "grain may sprout through the thorns,"
but the thorns are ever growing. It is
possible to pay to dear a price for
material prosperity. "What Is a man

Told by the Troubled T ourist
"That waj a very inhospitable bride
groom out In Indiana," remarked the
Table d'Hote Traveler. "I mean the one
who refused to treat to cigars when a
little party of kind friends came around
to serenade him and his bride as a slight
token of esteem.
"Just to show how hurt they felt at this
breach of an honored custom, the gentle
eerenaders broke into the house, threw the
bridegroom out the door and down a flight
of step?.
"The customs of a free and enlightened
nation like thle are not to be trifled with.
I believe a little serenade of this sort Is
usually known as a charivari, which is
quite a fancy name and suggests rose
leaves, confetti and tinkling mandolins and
guitars. Personally, I prefer the western
version, which is shivsree. It la much
mora expressive and, I should say, far
more truthful, because that's what It is
a shivsree.
"Ever attend one of those Joyous func
tions? In some states they call 'am a
aklmmelton, though why, I never found
out.
"After a shlvaree the happy bridegroom
la supposed to be in ths proper mood to
serve cigars and open wine and otherwise
dispense lavish and grateful hospitality.
The chief musical Instrument of torture 'in
a shlvaree Is usually a horse fiddle, which
is made out of a barrel and sounds like a
combination of fog horn and saw mill.
The muslo extracted from this pleasant
device blends nicely with the tin pans and
tin horns that accompany It and can easily
be heard In the next town. A few watch
men's rattles aervo to fill in the quieter
moments and also enhance the volume of
sweet sound when the orchestra reacher
a crescendo.
"If aeoompanied by the proper amount
of howling and cat-calls kept up for an
hour at least a serenade of this sort ought
to be good for a box of cigars Of course,
some critics have held that it really ought
to be good for nothing short of Justifiable
homicide, but then why be harsh?
"They have more refined methods In the
east, where they simply kidnap ths bride
groom and playfully allow the bride to
go on the wedding Journey alone. Or else
they do as was done the other dsy, escort
the bride and bridegroom to different
steamboats.
'Such played out tricks as filling um
brellas and eult easee full of rice have
been discarded long ago as entirely too
tame to suit so Joyous an occasion. Wed
ding guests have got to get some fun out
of It. haven't they? even If they have to
throw the bridegroom out of the door.
'X predict, however, that If the gueats
get much more fun out of It, weddlnga
by aeroplane will be more popular than
they are now. Then the happy couple
can be safely out of reach and might turn
the tables by emptying a ton or two of

A JapsntH Miracle,
An English scientist. Prof. A. Abrams,
has recently be jn making a special study
of the semi-miracluous restoration to life
practiced by the Japanese, and while he
doee not fully explain why the men come
back to life after being to all intents dead,
he does tell how It is done, snd this In
Itself la interesting. In Jiu-jitsu, If a man
is knocked out, beaten senseless, killed or
otherwise mauled, and If a man has been
killed by a sunstroke or by drowning, the
reiitorer rolls the pariont on his face and
extends his arms sldewlse. Then he strikes
the patient on the seventh cervical veS
tebra wtih hla wrist, severely and regu
larly, until the patient recovers conscious
ness. Immediately he Is placed In a sit
ting posture, bis arms rotated and he Is
aided In walking, for otherwise he re
lapses into unconsciousness Immediately
and In some cases dies at once.
This system of pounding the seventh
vertebra has been found peculiarly bene
ficial In some acute heart diseases, and
the effects of the treatment under Japa
nese manipulation seetn almost miraculous
at times. As yet there seems to be no
elear medloal explanation of the effects of
pounding the seventh vertebra, but the
genuineness of the cures and resuscitations
frequently described by travelers is now
scientifically established by Prof. Abrams'
Investigations. Health Culture.
