A PLEA FOR THIRTY MINUTES REST.
TScientific American.

Civilization and hunger are incompat-
ible. ALI the virtues and graces OF hu.
manity-certainly OF male humanity
fly before an empty stomach. 1t may
be possible for q man to be hungry ana
amiable at the same time, but 1t ls not
safe for any wife to presume upon 80
unlikely an occurrence habltuaily.
Ignorance Of this physiological truth
has been the ruin Of many an otherwise
happy household. And we may SET IL
down from both observations and expe-
riences isIng that our experience
In this respect has been exceptionally
happy-that preprandial discretion Is
the severest test Of q good wife. JUST
before dinner is the worst possible
time to bother a husband with
questions or complaints, or even
with efforts to be. aggresslvely
agreeable. Then is the time above all
others when social silence should grace
the home, and make 1t seem to the tired
man the most delightful ana restlul
place on earth. Half an hour OF quiet
tust then is the best possible prepara-
ton for the social enjoyment of the
coming meal, for then the nervous ten
sion and mental strain Of business care
and anxiety can be gradually relaxed
and the entire system brought into con-
ditions for enjoying food and the amen
ities Of social life. Yet how frequently
does the wife choose that particular
time to speak Of her own trials and
troubles, the misconduct Of servants
and children, the petty requirements OF
the household, or other things trivial or
disagreeable, and then marvel that her
husbands temper Is not as sweet as 1t
ought to be The offense is worse even
than the introduction Of such topics at
mealtime.

tBaton Rouge Advocate

At IL o'clock on Monday negro boy named

O'Clock his body was found floating in the river,

One Of the finest brilliants in
America, and one with a romantic
history, is now for sale at Salt Lake.
This stone is 1-32 of carat lighter than
the celebrated Tweed diamond, but
it's cutting is much better, and it is
considered by experts to be more val
liable. 1t weighs IL carats, and is
exactly half an inch in diameter.
1t was for many hundred years in

This potenate presented it to the ex-
Queen Christina of Spain. who pre-.
scented it to her daughter, ex-Queen
Isabella, on the occasion of her mar
rage. The latter was forced to sell
it. with many other diamonds, and it
was bought at an auction of her dia-

man with about 100000 worth Of other
diamonds. He was soon after offered
SIS 900 in gold for it by the Americas

sell it. Subsequently it was stolen
from him while visiting at Saratoga

spread an umbrella in his face, and

he sauntered up to the red-hot stove
