A Whisper to Husbands.

seT AM TIRED at the close of the day,
a it's true, but always try to re-
member that my wife may be as tired as
myself" Oh, if all husbands would not
only think of this, but act upon it, how
many women would smile, and full half
their burdens drop at once from their
shoulders 1t is such little thing to rec
ognize this fact by a word, look, if no
more. Because a man is tired he need not
be indifferent and cross But, alas when
he comes home, and finds everything pre-
pared for his comfort, he too often accepts
it as his due, as matter of course, and
never thinks of the worrying detail which
has occupied SO much time in bringing it
about. He never thinks how inexpressibly
tired" his wife is of it all, though she
may be too much of woman to shrink it !;
or what despair seizes her soul when, after
having eaten and drank all he is capable of,
snores from the sofa, announce the usual
programme until bedtime or, lacking this,
a total silence or absence of mind, which is
just as discouraging as to results.
Sunday too-then at least, when there is
or should be no business, when hus-
band should do his part toward making that
day social and bright, how often does he re-
tire to his room, that he may stupefy him
self with incessant smoke, appearing to his
family only to feed, after that going to
sleep.
No wonder the wives of such men get
discouraged. No wonder they say, as they
often do, "What is life worth if my hus-
band only values me as housekeeper, and
worse still, one without salary-when,
after all my unrecognized services, have
the modification of asking every time
need money, as if were beggar solicit
ing charity?"
"Tired? Does he not talk with anima-
tion if friend drops in %
Now gentlemen, if you could hear women
talk together, you would know this is nc
fancy picture; and l maintain this is
wholly wrong on your part. If you won't
go out with your wives to seek agreeable
company and relaxation, you are certainly
bound to be social and agreeable at home
bound by your marriage promises-bound
by your wifes performing her duty with
regard to your food and other comforts,
bound by your little children, who see their
mothers sad, weary face, and catch her
trick of signing. And you needn't say,
after reading this, "She's right it is true
Sam Smith does just So" for don't lean
Sam Smith at ALL mean you good SIR
And want you, for one week, just to try
the recipe of little sociability in your own
house, to your wife, over your own meals
Be half as agreeable at home as you take
the pains to be abroad, and you will find II
as good little business investment as you
ever made.

head into position where he might dis
tinctly hear anything of interest.

Charley barked some more skin off, and
became decidedly interested.
"There's no'' ooh, aunt about it,"
continued the "incorrigible," sagely os-
cillating her head. "You sometimes act
more like silly school girl than woman
who has seen twenty-four years of life."

"My-my head aches. Please don't
TALK" begged her niece, not quite positive
as to the effect her dissection might have
on the young martyr under her aunt.
Your head aches, does it? Well, no
wonder wearing all that mass of hair on
your head is enough to make it ache. What
nonsense it is, when there is no one here to
see you besides it is positively making
you bald headed p
"lm notp' vigorously responded the
young lady, burying her face in her hands
as she thought of all the nice things the
fellow under the carpet had been saying.
"You're not I Yes you are. There's a
bald spot on the top of your head the size
of my hand p and the old lady extended a
palm in illustration. "Now what in the
world are you crying about, Clara? Sakes
alive niece, you'll cry yourself sick, and
then you won't be able to visit the den

reprimanded her niece for her disrespect
and petulancy.
at was your own wish to go to the
dentists, Clara; you know it was. You
said that set hurt your mouth, and you
wanted-Goodness, gracious ! What under

darted out of the room with smothered
cry of rage and anguish, leaving her rel
ative to bounce up and down on the pile OF
carpet in sheer astonishment, until little
Charley G.'s respiratory organs were like
pair of collapsed bellows.
Then the old lady followed her niece up
stairs, and when the house was all quiet
Charley unlocked the front door, and,
stealing forth, walked down Lucas Place a
sadder and wiser man.
Clara left town on a visit, aud the young
ladies, who patronize the Fourth street dry

A BERLIN photographer is re-
ported to have made an ingenious
trick to attract customers. The
artist pretended he could make
photographs Of gentlemen SO life
like that their dogs wonld be able
to recognize thom. When these
were held mp before the dogs of
the owners, the dogs would wag
their tails and lick the pictures.
The other photographers Of Berlin,
who were unable to preform any
thing similar, watched their col
league, and finally discovered his
secret, II was a very simple pro.
ceeding. All he did was to cover
the photographs with a thin layer
Of lard, which the dogs Of course
smelled and thenlicked off.

HERvE, the composer, WAS re-
Gently very unsuccessful in a
French provincial town where he
was giving representations. The
second night there were scarcely a
dozen people in the theatre. The
next night announcement was
posted that an amateur of the
town would make his debut in the
piece of that evening. A crowd
ed house was the result. The
piece, ''Don Quixote," was played
amid general inattention {; the
audience were thinking OF the
native amateur. About the last
scene SancEo made his entrance
on his proverbial donkey. The
audience thinking they were to
DO taxed in shouted loudly for the
amateur. Herve came forward
pointed to the beast, and said:
You were promised the debut Of
an amateur OF tho town. Behold
him!' The curtain fell, and the
back door was used by the per
formers. t-
