What a blessing 70 a household is a
merry, cheerful voman-one whose
spirits are not affected by wet days or
little disappointments. or whose milk
OF human kindness does not sour in
the sunshine Of prosperity. Such a
woman in the darkest hours brightens
the house like little piece of sunshi-
ny weather. The magnetism of her
smiles and electrical brightness OF her
looks and movements infect every one.
The children 20 to school with a sense
Of something great to be achieved; her
husband goes into the world in con-
querer's spirit. No matter how peo-
pie annoy and worry him all day, far
of her presence shines, and he whis-
pens to himself: al home ! shall find
rest" So day by day she literally re-
news his strength and energy. and if
you know a man with beaming face,
a kind heart and prosperous busi-
ness, in nine cases out of ten you will
lind he has a wife Of this kind.

They tell of Georgia girl who re-
Gently had a man arrested for an as
sault, the assault having consisted Of
successful though stoutly resisted ef'
fort on his part to keep her from conf
mitting suicide by jumping from u
bridge. The man made the very nat.
ural mistake OF rescuing the girl too
soon. Ifhe had waited until she had
gotten fairly under water, he would
have seen the very marked difference
between the gratitude of damp girl
and a dry one. Instead of having
him arrested for an assault, with a
wild, tragic "Ha ! me ke-yind pre-
server! J" she would have kicked her
skirts out Of the way and rushed fran
tically into his arms.

Miss Grocsbeck, of Cincinnati, was
once at an evening party in that city,
when young dandy was asked if he
would like to be presented to her.
"Oh, yes said he, languidly, "trot
her out" The lady overheard the re.
mark, and when he Nas presented she
adjusted her eyeglasses deliberately
and slowly scanned his clothing from
boot to collar. The survey finished,
she waved her hand care'essly and
said: "Trot him back; | have seen

Wax is generated in the bodies of
bees at will, oozing out between the
scales of their abdomen in little plates
no larger than the top of pins head.
When bees are engaged building rap.
idly, the hoor-board is often thickly
sprinkled with the wax scales which
have fallen from the workmen's
mouths. Each bee generates two
scales at time, and is unable to do so
on scanty diet, but must feed literally
on honey during the time. The con-
sumption of honey is very great when
wax production is going on. Liebig

honey were required to manufacture |

such horror in England that the sympathles oil
the nation were no longer called out by Its
treaty engagements or reducing tile demands
of the COnstantinOple Conference to mini

action of the other Powers by attaching

servatives. He preserved through all the
1uctuatiug impulses that have swayed the
public will his reputation for GOODNESS. peril

regarded as leader who would not lose his
head even on the edge of an abyss into which
the Unbalanced zeal of the Premier might be
dragging the Cabinet and the country. Now
that he has left the cOuncl-chamDer
there will be no one to direct the policy
of resistance to the projects OF an
erratic and imaginative leader, VINO
has the caprices and passions OF inc
East, rather than the sober instincts OIL an
Englishman. Lord Salisbury remains In the
Cabinet but he has not Lord Derby's hold
upon public confidence. Lord Carnarvon re-
signed his seat late in January, after valnly
attempting to resist the policy of sending the
fleet to COnstantnOple. Lord Derby also lett
the Cabinet at the same time, but was
induced to reconsider his determination ana
to return to his place. He has remained III
Office long enough to feel in his face the
wthering blaze of popular passion. The hour
of panic and giddiness has come and he can
not hold back his colleagues any longer.
Lord Derby cannot now keep step with his
associates. He goes out.
But Ominous as the news Ia, it would be
premature to abandon hopes of peace. AL
though Great Britain is arming to the teeth,
and the war feeling in Russia Is running high,
the breach between the two nations is not
wide. Lord Derby's last explanation in the
House of Lords was that he had asked that
all the articles of the treaty of peace should
and for that only; and that he had
suggested that Greece should have voice In
that body, although she might not have
earned the right to be received on the same
footing as the Great Powers. If Great Britain
makes these demands point of honor, Russia
can well afford to make concessions, for II
Congress were held the Continental Powers
would be more than likely to sane
ton the pacfcatioD OF Turkey on the
Russian basis and to throw cold water upon
British interests. But the danger is that there
are hot headed diplomatists in each capital,
and that each Government feels behind it the
pressure of popular prejudice and passion.
Lord Beaconsiied may, in a moment of gid
dlness, repeat the bundcr which was made
by a minister of Napoleon III. i'll 1870, when
an iniquitous and unnecessary war was pre-
cipitated. Lord Derby can i'll bc spared In
such crisis.
