HOmeIy Hints for Husbands.

If you fail in raising the wind abroad, that
is no reason why you should kick up breeze
at home. No soil favors the cultivation of
spare lime so well as the domestic hearth.
Beware of hiding the family bread basket in
your wine-merchant's hamper. Keep your
passion flowers outside the walls of your
homestead. If cultivated within doors, they
are apt to scatter the seeds of dissension
around the family table. Embrace golden
opportunity" with caution like fashionable
friendship, it too often turns out a 'golden
fleece" If your wife pins fresh rosebud in
your button-hole when you go forth to bust
ness in the morning, be careful to present her
with hearts-ease on your return at night
Some men grow suddenly ashamed of an I'M
assuming pot Of migonette if wealthy friend
happens to present them with few flowers
from his conservatory, and hide it away in
some obscure corner, to make way for the
brilliant scentess exotics. Wives are not
unfrequently treated after similar fashion;
and perhaps it would be well for their fastidi-
Gus Chords AID masters" to jot down the fol-
lowing lines upon the tablets Of their memo
ries:
AS the myrtle, whose perfume enriches the bower,
Is priced far beyond cen the gaudiest flower;
So a wife, who household can skillfully rule,
Is jewel of price to all men-save fool.

remedies, it does not dry up Cough,
but loosens it, and by causing the pa

clears it away. For children who are
troubled with Group, it is Invaluable,

THE AUTHORS GAME.-This is .
new and very interesting game, played
with cards gotten up for the purpose.
The cards are in sets of four, consist
ing of an author and three of his works.
On the first card of the set, the au-
thor's- name is on the top in prominent
letters, on each of the others the name
of one of his works. The four cards
of each set constitute book, and the
object is to collect these together aud
form the books, the person getting the
greatest number of books being the
winner of the game. This game is now
much in vogue, and is becoming very
popular. Aside from its great interest,
it is instructive, as person TO become
an adept at the game must familiarize
himself with the names of the various
authors and their works. The cards
can be obtained at Awards, in his new
store, in Carlin's building.
