The Secret of a Wife's Power

NOTHING is more beautiful than the be-
lief of the faithful wife that her husband
has all the talents, and could, if he would,
be distinguished in any walk of life; and
nothing would be more beautiful
unless this is very dry time for signs
than the husbands belief that his
wife is capable of taking charge of any of
the affairs of this confused planet There
is no woman but thinks that her husband
the green grocer, could write poetry if he
had given his mind to it, or else she
thinks small beer or poetry in compari-
son with an occupation or accomplish
ment purely vegetable. 1t is touching to
see the look of pride with which the wife
turns to her husband from any more
brilliant personal presence or display of
wit than his, in the perfect confidence
that if the world knew what she knows
there would be one more popular idol
How she magnifies his small wit and
doats upon the self-satisfied look in his
face, as if it were a sign of wisdom.
What a counselor that man would make .
What a warrior he would be! There are
Il great many corporals in their retired
homes who did more for the safety and
success of our armies in criti-
cal moments in the late war
than any of the ''high cock a-lorum" COM
manders. Mrs. Corporal does not envy
the reputation of General Sheridan; she

Forks, for she has heard tie story hun
dred times, and will hear it a hundred
more with apparently unabated interest.
What general her husband would have
made, and how his talking talent could
shine in Congress.
There isn't wife in the world who
has not taken the exact measure of her
husband, weighed him and settled him in
her own mind, and knows him as well as
ii she had ordered him after designs and
specifications of her own. That knowl-
edge, however, she ordinary keeps to her
self, and she enters into n league with
her husband, which he was never adj
mitted to the secret OF, to impose upon
the world. In nine out of ten cases he
more than half believes that he is what
his wife tells him he is. At any rate she
manages him as easily as the keeper does
the elephant, with only bamboo wand,
and sharp spike in the end. Usually
she flatters him, but she has the means of
pricking clear through his side on occa-
SION 1t is the greatest secret of her pow
er to have him think that she thoroughly

real blessing to the country if at least two
thirds of its wild horses were destroyed ;
they swarm everywhere, and, breaking
into the fields and gardens, make great
havoc among the crops.
A LITTLE boy in Portland, Oregon, has
gotten off the following luminous view of
''Oxen." His "composition" is given
Derbattm dkiterGtem: Oxen is a very slow
animal. They are very good to
break up ground 1 would rather have
horses if they didn't have collie which
they say is wind collected in a bunch
which makes it dangeresess to keep horses
than oxen. If there were No horses peo-
pie wood have to wheal their wood on a
wheelbarrow. 1t would take them too or
three days to wheal a cart a mile. Cows
are useful to. | heard some people say
that if they had to be Il OK of Il COW they
wood sooner be COW, but / think when
it come to be MIXED on cold winter
morning / think they wood sooner be
oxen, for oxen don't have to raise calves.
If had to be Il OK or Il COW L wood be
a heffer, but if l could not be heffer
and had to be both l would be a OK.
THE most romantic of all numbers is the
figure nine, because it can not be multi
piled away or got rid of anyhow. What
ever you do it is sure to turn up again, as
was the body of Eugene Aram's victim.
One remarkable property OF this figure
said to have been first discovered by Mr..
Green, who died in 1794 is, that all
through the multiplication table the pro-
duct nine comes to nine. Multiply by
what you like, and it gives the same
result Begin with twice nine, IS; add
the digits together, and 1 and 8 make 0.
Three times nine are 81; and 2 and 7 are
8. So it goes on, up to eleven times nine,
which gives 80. Very good; add the dig
its, 8 and 8 are IS, and and l are g. Go
ing on to any extent, it is impossible to
get rid of the figure nine. Take couple
of instances at random: Three hundred
and thirty-nine times nine are 3,051; add
up the figures and they are nine. Five
thousand and seventy-one times nine are
1859; the sum of these digits is 81; 2
and are g.

Something You Can't Give Away.

n BLUsHING maiden in Vermont sues a
man for breach of contract under the fol
lowing curious circumstances: She had
Il farm which he wished to purchase, and
she offered the property and herself for
twenty thousand dollars. refusing to sell
one without the other. He accepted, paid
the money, got the title deeds the land,
and felt so well satisfied with his bar
gain that he restored one-half of it to her
As that half was herself she declined
1he generous gift with thanks and insist
ed he should marry her. He refused, and
she sues him for breach of contract and
there is every indication that she will
win the suit. Now if a man cannot do what
he likes with his own, it is hard indeed.
If we are to be sued and made to suffer
the penalties of the law every time we see
fit 10 indulge in a piece ofthouglItless
generosity, some ofthe kindliest feelings
of our common nature will receive a
shock that will prove fatal TO them. II
we buy piece of wooded land and de
terminc to make the former owner a
present of the wood, shall he sue us for
breach of contract,
If we buy weli-stocked farm, and con
Glide to give pig, IA cow, or horse away,
shall we be plunged into "A lawsuit? 1t is
unnecessary to cite further instances as
proof of the absurdity of the whole affair.
III we were that man we would marry our
prosecutor, join half dozen clubs, a
Masonic lodge, a military company and
a sporting club, and try to make her as
comfortable as possible under the circum-
s;ances.-Ne,o York Era.

How the Cable Talks.

Through the kindness of the Superin-
tendent, Mr.. Weldon, l was permitted to
witness the mode of transmitting and re-
ceiving messages through the cable, and
initiated into the secret. An oper-
ator sits at table in room very
slightly darkened by curtains. On
his left hand stands little instru-
ment named the ''reflecting galvano-
meter,'' the invention of Sir William
Thompson, without which Atlantic telc-
graphy would be a slow process, not eX-
ceeding three words per minute, instead
of eighteen or twenty, the present rate.
This delicate instrument consists Oft tiny
magnet and a small mirror swinging on
silk thread, the two together weighing but
few grains. The electric current, pass
ing along the cable from Valencia, de-
fleets the magnet to and fro. The mirror
reflects spot of light on to a scale in a
box placed on the operators right hand,
where, by its oscillations, the spot of light
indicates the slight movements of the
magnet, which are too small TO be directly
seen The little swinging magnet follows
every change in the receiving current; and
every change, great or small, produces II
corresponding oscillation of the spots of
light on the scale. A code of signals is
arranged by which the movements of the
spot of light are made to indicate the
letters of the alphabet. When receiving
n message from Valencia, the operator
watches the movement of the little slight
speck, which keeps dancing about over
the scale on his right To his practiced
eye each movement of the spot of light
represents a letter of the alphabet, and its
seemingly fantastic motions are spelling
out the intelligence which the pulsings of
the electric current are transmitting be-
tween the two hemisphcres. 1t is truly
marvellous to note how rapidly the eN-
perienced operator disentangles these IT.

light into the letters and words which

COunterfeiting.

THIS city has long been famous as the
headquarters of the cOunterfeiters of the
United States, and as l had notion that
the new $500 bills which Father Spinner
refuses to accept at the Treasury were
made in this city, called to-day upon Il
man who could tell me all about it.
GLOW long" said /, ''has Salt Lake
City been a rendezvous for these counter
feiters?"
about two years"
GLOW many of them are here?"
"Perhaps there are a dozen here now"
what part of the territory is their
headquarters"
"Salt Lake City"
"When did you last see any quantity of
the conterfeits?''
about year ago. A man came to me
SO greenbacks and said he had plenty of
that stuff l notified United States Dis
trict-Attorney Bates, but he said there
was no way to get at them, and didn't pay
much attention to it"
Didn't he make any effort to arrest
these counterfeiterS?
''He got out warrants for two of them,
but didn't offer to pay enough so any one
could make expenses, and so nothing was
ever done about it. We can't afford to go
into the business on nothing. Some folks
think it is an officers duty, but even they
won't work without pay. A deputy mar
shall from San Francisco came here red
hot after these fellows. He wrote three
or four letters to Washington to the
Department, but got no answer, and
soon found out that it wouldn't pay.
He told me Congress only appropriated
enough money to keep one detective at
work on the coast, and he stays in San
Francisco"
GLOW much of this stuff has been put
in circulation from this point?"
Forty or fifty thousand dollars, l
should suppose. There's lots OF it in cir
culation here. Never saw any larger than
So or so. If detectives come here its
easy putting them on the track"
as ii made here?''
swell, | think not much A fellow by
the name of Smith told me they make it
here. He showed me man he said made
greenbacks. That man looked like a
miner. But we couldn't make any money
out of it, SO never said anything outside.
