THIS is BUSINESS.
Women"

Women"
Let us have a change.
1 am tired of reading comments on old
maids and henpecked husbands. Why don't
some one spend a little sympathy on US poor
women who spend our whole lives in vain
endeavor to keep buttons on shirts, and get
the baby reared big enough to take care of
itself? We turn over the same beds, sweep
the same rooms something near 365 times,
wash the same dishes (f they don't all get
broken when we are in a hurry over l.095 a
year. No wonder women grow dull and
restless. What wonder we forget to laugh
when our husband comes home to tea, or
that we feel like spanking the baby when
the pies burn in the oven? We often zee a
lengthy article recording the good qualities
of some "dearly-beloved wife, "who has laid
down her burden Of earthly cares, and we
can't help wondering how it was possible
that her husband did not discover some of
her many virtues and noble qualities while
she was here. I would rather have my
husband tell me that l made a good cup Of
coffee, or that I am a good-looking woman
to-day, than to erect a fine tombstone en-
graved with my many virtues when I am no
more on earth. Why don't men discover
that a woman needs some expression of their
love to relieve the monotony of her life. I
have no patience with a man who says once
to a woman, II love you," and considers
that if he makes her his wife he has done all
that is required Of him. A woman can take
but little comfort in making q house pleasant
for a mar who considers his duty done if he
furnishes her with food and fine dresses.
The machinery Of a woman's being daily
worked without the oil Of love plentifully
applied to her heart, grows dry and rusty,
and finally wears entirely out long before
the expiration of the time allotted to her by
the laws of nature. Husbands, kiss your
wives when you go to your business in the
morning, and com home ~good-natured to
your dinner or tea. Never mind if your
Affairs have bothered you during the day.
How do you konw but that she has green
wood to cook your dinner with, or that the
clothes-line has broken and sent your best
white shirt where you didn't want it? Don't
be afraid to bring home a new book or
poem. 1t may be that your wife can read
and understand something beside e recipe
for making corn bread, or a new way OF
boiling potatoes, if she Is tired to talk much
when her cares are laid aside for the day.
Sympathy is necessary, and a change is
needed in the lives of some of our home. low
ing women. I know that many women have
died of nothing but Loneliness.

Among the strange incidents of the war
in the east is the eaxerness the Russian
soldiers show for the purchase of the bibles
sent for their use by the British and for
eign bible society. Over 10000 bibles have
been bought BY. them since the Russian
armies crossed the Pruth. An agent says
that the readiness Of the soldiers to buy is
unparalleled in the experience of the 80
ciety's continental work. It Is . strange
thing, he says, when ferce-looking Cossacks,
armed to the teeth, thank you ten times
over for having brought them the new tes.
lament, and when they can scarce be res.
trained, in the gladness of their hearts, from
taking you up in their bony arms to give
youa well-meant hug Of gratitude. And
not only do the men buy, but they also read.
The Russian soldier, he says, has yet to be
discovered who would speak an irrevere,t
word Of the holy gospel. The commanding
officer has frequently been the first to buy
a number. of copies, which he himself would
distribute At once u . gift to the common
soldiers around him.

Still another development of the powers
of the telephone has been made. An ex-
pertinent in New York, recently, demon
strated that the current of one telephone
would divide itself into numerous smaller
currents, sufficiently strong for at least six
telephones, a discovery unparalleled in the
science Of telegraphy. Connections were
made between the central office and six
other places in the city, and a cornet played
