human system, which Is so little understood ut the
present time, as some OF the varied forms Of Kid

or more alarming In Its results than when the kid
news fail to secrete from the blood the uric 'cld and
other poisonous substances, which the blood accu-
mulates In Its circulation through the SYSTEM
II from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions devoving upon them, the cumulatlons
are taken up by the absorbenis and the whole sys-
ten thrown into u state of disease, causing great
pain and suffering and very often immediate death.
renee the Importance OF keeping the Kidneys and
blood In healthy condition, through which all the
impurities of the blood must pass.

Matrimonial Failures.

II husbands are sometimes remiss in fulfilling
all the expectations regarding them, wives, it
must be confessed, afford them only too often
ample excuse for their shortcomng. For if a
wife does not render her full share toward max
ing herself and her home alluring, she has small
right to complain-however his own conscience
may or should upbraid him-if her husband finds
other people and other places more attractive,
and makes no resistance to the attraction.
Too frequently do We hear some wife in her
neglected toilette, slpshod, unkempt, declare,
" Oh, it's no matter; my markets made n as if
her marriage had been circumstance OF bar
gain, and sale, and deigning to accept the price
OF her husbands devotion she had completed her
part or the barter. Her market is made; that is,
she sold herself for-doubtlessa all she was WORTH
But allowing it, yet with how much honesty we
may ask, does she fulfil the conditions OF the
trade? How faithful to the tacit understand
ing at the time is she to-day? 1t was
tslnly no slipshod, unkempt woman that
WAS the object offered in the market. On the
contrary, it WAS a girl in the bloom OF her early
years, and with that bloom set off by all the ad-
venuuous aid OF the prettiest toilette, the dan.
test frills and furbelows, the sweetest tones
the sweetest smiles, attainable. The bloom of
early years WAS not expected to last, of course
but the smiles, the tones, the pretty toiettes-
1t never was dreamed by the buyer that they
were not thrown in.
probable, it is by no means unusual that the Of
fence should come first from the husbands side,
and with no fault in the beginning Of the wife'a
Tired of the novelty, the husband has ceased To
execute his portion of the contract, has sought
distractions, has despsed and half forsaken his
home, has dissipated his energies, perhaps ru-
ined his hopes and his wifes together, perhaps
disgraced their name. And then all ambition
has been wrung out OF her, neglect has made
her hopeless, scanty means and the sense of

cruelty, she has given up the effort to make
either herself or her home admirable. Yet,

does not absolve her; the oath that she took Oh
her marriage-day was not to do her duty 80 long
az he did, but It'll death do part, and she it
not warranted in tho omission of one lot Of her
household observances because he is indifer-
ent or abusive regarding them. Only
that woman can fold her hands
and possess her soul in peace who
has wiped out her own score with fate, whatever
be the score her husband tallies by constant
persistance in the endeavor always to keep her
hearth clean. her fire bright, herself in unison (:

How Fashions Are Set.

The Paris correspondent of the London Datiy
Ne,os writes to that paper Oh May 20 "Irace
a fashion to it's origin, and you will nearly al
ways find that it springs from the conaciousness
of defect and a wish TO mask it. The father
land Of crinoline is Spain and a Spanish Queen
first wore hoops to dissimilate unequal hips. A
Venus Of the Boulevards, who committed suicide
by throwing herself over balcony few years
ago, revived the high-heeled lshoes which Louis
Quatorze originally brought into fashion to ap-
pear taller than the King of Span at the meet
ing in the Isle of Pheasants. A lady who de-
riyes prestige from rank, fortune and striking
beauty, scalded her arm three winters back. An
ugly mark bore witness to the accident. She
thought of wearing, to conceal it, those long
armed gloves, which, out of mercy to the ple-
beian wives Of Napoleon's Marshals and Gener-
ais, the Empress Josephine adopted. Tho hats
slanting down over the eyebrows were the result
of lady Of exalted rank losing her front hair
Queen Elizabeth's neck was yellow and thin
hence the stiff muslin mane." The double
veil Of white and black tulle was contrived by a
" Parliamentary woman" with bad complex
ion. She used pearl power to hide her red skin,
and the white and black veil to dissimulate the
pearl powder, which would have shown ON black

which gives general satisfaction, and is a sub

Usher, Maelean, of Philadelphia, has.sold over

fishers, by their last returns to the author, had

TalIOw Dips,


Z seventy years ago, when, gas aud kerosene
were not and wax candies were an extravaganza
indplged in only on state occasions, even by the
wealthy the tallow dip was an article OF necessi-
ty, and "oandle dip-day' was as certain OF oc
currence as Christmas, though, perhaps, even
less welcome than the equally certain annual
Feast day. Fancy an immense kitchen with be-
aforementioned fire place in the centre of one
side. Over the blaze of backlog and forestck,
and something like half cord of "eight-foot
wood are swinging the iron cranes laden with
great kettles Of melting tallow. On the,opposite
side Of the kitchen two long poles about two feet
apart, ara supported at their extremities upon
the seats Of chairs Beside the poles are other
great kettles containing melted talow poured on
the top of hot water. Across the poles are the
slender candle rods, from which depend ranks
upon ranks OF candle wcks made of tow, for cot
ton wick is a later invention. Little by little by
endless repeating the slow process Of dipping
into the kettles of melted tallow aud hanging
them to cool, the wcks take on their proper
coating Of taow. To make the candle as large
as possible was the am for the more tallow the
brighter the light When DONE the ranks of
candles still depending from the rods, were hung
in the sunniest spots of sunny garret to bleach.

The Bible in Public Schools.

An article will be found in this paper
under the above heading, from I. N. Bias
sett, Esq, a well-known attorney at law
and man of the highest responsibility, re
siding at Aledo, Mercer county, this state,
which will be read with interest. Mr..
Bassett holds to exactly the same doc,
trine The ARGUS has always advocated,
and we hope his communication will re-
ceive favorable consideration, and that
the proposed act will become a law. We
well remember heated discussion on
this subject in school district in our ma
tive town. A school meeting was held to
decide the question, when highly intelli
gent and influential resident. an infdel,
attended the meeting and claimed that
Tom Paine's theological works constituted
his bible and he was entirely willing that
all the other bibles in the world should be
read in their school provided his was
read also. He claimed an equal right
with the others. The meeting unanimous
ly voted to teach reading, writing and
arithmetic, and leave religion to home
teaching and the church. The constitu-
ton of the United States was meant to
protect everybody from being forced to pay
taxes to teach any kind OF religion, and
the sooner legislatures and school direc.
tors put that fact into practice the better
for all concerned.
