To Rent to Parties Without Children.

A week before the commencement of
the quarter in Paris gentleman came to
the proprietor of a house and commenced
the following conversation
zone of my friends who is unable to
come himself on account of illness has
sent me to rent for him the second floor of
your house"
"Your friend is not married? He has
no children ?"
"No, sir"
81 will accept him only on these condi-
tons My house is very quiet; and to
make sure, you will be good enough to
mention that the tenant is a bachelor, in
the contract"
The sick mans agent agreed to these
terms, and, by virtue of his power of at
torney, signed g. lease of the rooms for
three years.
When the day for taking possession OF
the premises came, four children, the old
est of whom was not more than ten, ar
rived with the furniture On learning
this the proprietor rushed out in rage,
and, addressing the officious friend, who
was experimenting the transportation of
the furniture, reminded him of the special
agreement in the lease.
My dear sir" he answered, "you have
rented your apartments to my Oldest son,
that young lad who is sucking barley
| sugar at the foot of the stairway. I as
| sure you that he is not married nor the
| father of a family. You have nothing to
fear from his children for q long time to
come only he extends to his father and
| brothers that hospitality which your sig
nature authorizes him to exercise the next
! three wears"

The Great Medical Mistake

vi former days was an utter neglect Of sanitary
precautions. inefficient means were adopted for
the prevention of sickness. Sewerage was un-
Known in cities; drainage was rarely attempted
in the country Heaps OF ofal were left to rot in
the public streets, and domestic cleanliness the
great antidote to febrile diseases was sadly neg
lected. 1t is notso now. Wise laws, philanthropic
institutions, and a viglant sanitary police, have.
to great extent remedied the evil. Nor Is this
all. PREVENTIVE MEDICATION has helped mate
rally to lessen the rates of mortality 1t is not
too much to say that TENS OF THOUSANDS escape
sickness in unhealthy seasons in conseq uence of
having INvIGoRATED THEIR SYSTEMS IN AID
VANCE by a course of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS. This pure and powerful vegetable
tonic and alterative comprises the extracts and
essences of a variety of roots and herbs renowned
for their strengthening. soothing. vitalizing and
purifying properties. These medicinal agents are
incorporated with spirit absolutely free from
the acrid poison which defles, more or less, sll
the liquors of commerce, and their effect is diff
fused through the whole frame by this active. yet
harmless stimulant. The result is such condi-
ton of the system as renders it all bit 1aperCious
to the exterior causes of disease. such damp,
fog, Sudden aternations of temperature, &C
Strength, and the perfect regularity of all the
functions of the body, are the best safeguards
against atmospheric poison and the effects of I'M
wholesome water, and HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
are the best strengthening and regulating medi-
cine at present known. For dyspepsia and bilious
ness they are q SPECIFIC ABSOLUTE.

WOmen's Homes.

Harper's Bazdr takes a. very sensible
view OF what might properly be called the
home question" In substance, it argues
that While many sermon is preached
now days upon the duty of the wife to
make home attractive to her husband, it
is none the less the duty of the husband to
make home pleasant for the WIFE Here
is where the woman's life is chiefly spent,
and her convenience and pleasure should
be consulted. Many men will freely
spend large sums of money on their stores
and offices for their own personal comfort
or qualification, but grudge every dime at
their dwelling houses They come to look
upon their homes as mere lodging places,
and so loug as they can find comfortable
bed and good food they are satisfied, for
getting that the wife and the children are
to pass the whole day at the house. -
The Bd@0r goes on to say that men are
apt to think that the general ordering of
the house naturally belongs to them, but
this is wrong the home is the wife's do
main; she should plan, arrange and con-
troll, for does she not know better than he
what will best promote her convenience
IN all the details of housekeeping "It
would be just as absurd for her to under
take to be the architect of his warehouse,
and to place the desks, drawers and pigeon
Hoies OF his counting room, as Tor him to
divine from his omniscience the most con-
venient spot for her cupboards" Sensible
sentence this and pity that every hus-
bald could not read it. Again, the home
stead should belong to the wife in her own
right; she would then feel confidence in
her position, have an object in all her
labors, be stimulated to make home beauti-
full, be sure of shelter for herself land
husband) if adversely should come. Wo-
men know these simple truths, but hest
tate to tell them, and therefore we expect
thankful recognition of our gallantry in
calling attention to these few points.

Brevities and Leyities.

There is story about an English
geologist now going the rounds - which would
have delighted Buceland or Hugh Miller. The
gentleman had spent some hours one hot day last
summer collecting specimens. At the close of his
investigation he returned home. dispatching
thinking that it Was pity to overload his anin,ai

section of the parish, emptied the sack and at he
railway station refiled it with paving stones and
semi-pulverized bricks. The moral for geologists
is evident Put not your trust in donkey dTiv-
