The people elect men to make their

to meet the issue or rise Ia the full
height Of the occasion, it is their fault

MEMS pARr IN HOME MAKING.

Most of tie ~preachments we have seen
from the text of happy home have been
aimed at the This is natural
enough, for they are the home makers OF
the world. But Just now we desire to nudge
1.-The heads of the households, ask them now
they are performing their responsible parts
in the realm of home. Most men seem to
think they nave little to do in creating an
|" atmosphere ofhome.' Their forte lies IN
breathing and enjoying the atmosphere at
Ter somebody else has made it n not a
few can't get along and make known their
authority without /" raising a breeze " in It.
Men are too busy, too much pre-occupied'
TOO inpatient and thoughtless, and-lt must
be said of some of them-toO selfish to do
their fair share OF that pre-eminently mil
lennial work, the creating OF a happy home,
wherein love reigns supreme, and amiablll-
ty, affection, c~heeriulness, joy and peace are
the natural conditions of family lite.
Now, i'll certain things, man has been a
constitutional shirk from the time of Adam
If the scientific gentlemen have left us any
Adam-down to this day. Men will fight
ior their homes, and make slaves Of them
selves to their business to maintain them !;
but like the proverbial man who would die

sGftle of coal, they can't tell what their
children are studying at school, who their
mates are, what they are learning of good or

ought to know concerning his offspring. 1t

APPRECIATION REBUKED.

The late Charlotte Cushman, whose sue
cess in a profession full of dangers never
dimmed her character as a woman, thor
ouglly detested affectation, and not unfre-
quently rebuked it. The Philadelphia But-
letin tells this anecdote of her:
One day a lady, with the evident desire to
exhibit her very superficial learning said,-
My dear Miss Cushman, do you read
Emerson%
No" replied the famous actress, bluntly
without the least attempt to appear wise.
lis it possible you do not admire Emer-
SOM" with a look of utter astordshment.
"Quite possible"
Miss Cushman said no more at the mo-
ment, but after a little she launched forth in
one of the most beautiful and dramatic reci-
tations I have ever listened to. Her finish
ed rendition of several of Emerson's most
brilliant apothems was simply magnificent,
ending with "be yourself, do not initiate
every great man is a unique" using the
words as if thAy We're her own, and uttered
as only Charlotte Cushman could utter
them. Her purpose was obvious. The la

MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARIES.

Fashion has established a custom, Of GER
tain anniversaries of the marriage, these be-
ing named us follows: The celebration at
the expiration of the first year is called the
cotton wedding at three, the leather; at
the close Of five years, the wooden; at the
seventh anniversary the friends assemble at
the woollen; and at ten comes the tin. At
twelve years, the silk and fine linen at fiji
teen, the crystal wedding at twenty the
friends gather with their china, and at TWEEN
ty-fiye the married couple that have been
true to their vows for d quarter CT a century
are rewarded with silver gifts. From this
time forward the tokens of esteem become
rapidly more valuable. When the thirtieth
anniversary is reached they are presented
with pearls at the fortieth comes the ru-
bies at the tiftieth comes the glorious gold
en- wedding. Beyond that time the aged
couple are allowed to enjoy their many gifts
in peace. If, however by any possibility,
they reach their s~eyenty-ffth anniversary,
they are presented with the rarest gifts to be
obtained at the celebration of their diamond
| wedding.

TELL YOUR WIFE.

If you are in any trouble or %quandary,
tell your wife-that is, ii you have one-all
about it at once. Ten to one her inyNltion
will solve your difficulties ooner than all
your logic. The wit of women has been
praised, but her instincts are quicker and
keener than her reason. Counsel with your
wife. OF your mother, or sister, and be as
sured light will flash upon your darkness,
women arc too commonly adjudged verdant
in all but purely womanly affairs. No phil
osophical students of the sex thus Judged
them. Their intuitions, or insights, are the
most subtle, and if they cannot see a cat in
the meal, there is no cat there. | advised Il
man to keep none of his affairs a secret from
his wife. Many a home has been happily
saved. and many a fortune retrieved. by q
mans full confidence in his wife. Woman
is far more a seer and a prophet than man,
if she be given a fair chance. As a general
rule, wives contide the minutes of their
plans and thoughts to their husbands. Why
not reciprocate, if but for the pleasure of
meeting confidence with confidence? [ am
world as he who, taking a partner for life,
makes her u partner of his purposes and
hopes. What is wrong of his impulse or
judgment, she will check and set right with
her almost universally right instincts. And
what she most Graves and most deserves is
confidence, without which love is never
free from a shadow.

ously out Of the window, and once Or twice
gathered her parcels together as though
she would leave the car, yet seemed to be

ANCESTRY OF THE PEN

The earliest mode of writing was on
bricks, tiles, oyster-shells, stones, ivory,
bark. and leaves of trees, and from the lat
ter the term ''leaves of a book is probably
derived. Copper and brass plates were very
early in use ; and a bill of feoffment on cop
per was some time since discovered in In
dia. bearing date, one hundred years before
Christ. Leather was also used, as well as
wooden tablets. Then the papyrus was
superseded by parchment. Paper, how
ever, is ii great antiquity. especially among
the Chinese; but the first paper-mill Ill
England was built l2S6, by a German, at
hartford. in Kent. Nevertheless it was
nearly a century-and-a-half-namely, i'll
17l3-before Thomas Watkins, a stationary,
brought paper-making to anything like per-
lection. The first approach to a pen was
the STYLUS, a kind of iron bodkin but the
Romans forbade its Use on account OF its
frequent and even fatal use in quarrels. and
then it was made of bone. Subsequently
reeds. pointed and like pens of the present
| day were used.
