How a Man Looks for Clean Clothes.

Did you ever see man try to find a
shirt or a handkerchief or something in a
bureau drawer, where his wife keeps her
clean linen ? 1t mostly happens when
he is III hurry, when he has got his
fireworks temper on, and his wife has
got the baby on her lap, or she is up
to her elbows" in dough. He finds the
white clothes arranged in such
symmetrical layers as only woman.
after long practice, can accomplish, and
he dives in good deal as he would fish
for nubs of kindling in a barrel of
shavings, pitching everything right and
left on the floor. Meanwhile he fails to
get the required article, stewing and
swearing and offering up selected ex-
presslons Of relief to his feelings in sup
pressed tones Of voice, and vowing, in
manner very especially designed to reach
the ears of his wife, that it does beat the
old whats his name p a thing can't be
put where't can be found. About this
time his wife calls out from below that
the article sought is right at the top,
when he sarcastically wants to know if
she supposes he has ''got no eyes 20
and tears around at more furious rate
than ever, swearing that his shirt amt
there, for he has been clear to the
bottom. And then he gathers every-
thing up in bunch and rams them in
anyhow, just as he can grab them, in
savage handfulls, tearing around and
jerking things all over with nervous
looseness. Then he sings out in a sort
of distracted way, as if addressing no
one in particular, that he can always
find anything he needs at his place of
business in moment; that he keeps a
place for everything and everything in
It's place. Just about the time he has
worked himself into a red-hot worry of
boiling-over impotence and got the
whole room into litter. his wife olides
in and lays her hand upon the missing
article--right in the drawer where he
jerked it out and then rammed it back
again-in that quiet way woman has
of maddening cholerie husband into
a fit state for the lunatic asylum.

Making War by Contract.

An ingenious pamphlet has been writ
ten by German on Improvements in
war. Believing that war is but natur-
al outbreak Of the pent-up forces ofhu-
manity, which must from time to time
occur. he proceeds to show that its hor-
rors are in great measures due to the
injuries inflicted on peaceful civilians by
a wanton destruction Of life and proper
ty. War, the writer maintains, if pro-
perry conducted, should in no way affect
non-combatants, except in..so far as they
suffer by reason of bereavements and
moreover, much may be done to make
it less disagreeable to actual comba.
tants. With this view, he suggests that
some neutral territory be set aside by
the European powers, and devoted en-
tirely to bloodshed. No fighting is, un-
der any pretense whatever, to take
place out ofthis territory, which is to be
fitted up for war in the most elaborate
fashion. There is to be a TRAINING
school tor nurses, a college for surgeons,
and large hospitals. Prisoners of war
will be confined in suitable BUILDINGS
specially prepared for their accommo.
datlon. There are also to be vast Gem
eterles, and depots for artificial limbs.
etc. These conveniencies will be omen
to all nations wishing to fight at fixed
and reasonable charges. Weapons of
every description-and in fact all the
appliances for war-may be bought or
hired; but no credit is given, and the
charges for battlefelds are to be paid
before the first gun is fired. All profits
after payment of expenses will be de.
voted to the maintenance of the widows
and orphans Of the fallen.
