Home.

After all. when one comes TO think of it,
there are not many homes. There are, of
course, innumerable places which go by
the name of homes, called so for want of
better designation, or because every
body calls the place where he eats and
sleeps home; but when you come down to
real sober fact, homes are comparatively
scarce.
A home is the refuge place from the
storms, the fret and worry of life. 1t is a
place where the husband comes home to a
sanctuary, where smiles and loving words
answer his smiles and greeting. It is q
place where the wife reigns in her benign
ity and grace; not it may DO, the grace OF
outward beauty, or cultivation, but OF true
womanhood, where she receives honor and
love even as she gave them both. 1t is q
place where children are happier than any
where else in the world, because there are
the choicest words, the brightest looks
and the kindest acts. Such are not the
majority of homes as VIC fud them.
How does it happen that when you see q
real home, a light, pleasant spot where
everyone seems to be happy; where if hus-
band and wife have misunderstanding
no one seems to know it.; where laughter
and smiles are perpetual guests, why does
it strike one as peculiar and noticeablei
Simply because there are so few o.
them

For Husbands Only.

A correspondent writing from California
says: A cure for wife-whipping was author
lied by the last Legislature of Nevada. The
authorities of Austin, mining town in that
State, have erected whipping postto punish
summarily wretches who abuse their wives
by blows. We wish it were practical to
apply appropriate correction to no less
unmanly tyranny of unfeeling exacting and
cruel words by which too many husbands
keep their wives in never ending torment
If man had the brains he boasts, be would

Make your wife happy by tender and
affectionate treatment, and you viii make

that describes woman at the gate of Heaven
praying that her naughty husband may b
admitted. "He was ever kind and true Il
me, and if you would make me happy ]
must share with my husband" Instantly
the portals opened and the angels bid hin
enter: because Of thy wife's prayer thy
sins are forgiven. Who lives in harmony

again sat Iby his side, and once more our
conversation begun, and we became quite
fraternal. We talked about Theaters and
theatricals, and then advered to political econ

commerce in turn, our intimacy evidently
atording intense amusement to the foxy
eyed party near US. Finally the shrill
sound of whistle and the entrance of the
conductor indicated that we had arrived at
Columbus, and the train soon pulled up in
the station
"Come" said the little red-faced individ-
ual, now rising from his seat and tapping
my companion on the shoulder, this is your
station. old man."
My friend rose with some difficulty, drag

that he was shackled and was prisoner in

Pin Money for Wives.

London Letter in San Francisco Call.
think every wife ought to have an al
lowance of her-own, of which she should be
absolute mistress. American husbands are
less inclined to make this arrangement with
their wives than husbands of any other
nationality. In England not only do wives
have their pin-money, but each daughter
also has her separate allowance. upon which
she dresses herself. This allowance is hers
to do exactly as she pleases with, and she
must not exceed it. 1t is an excellent ar
rangement in every way, because it not only
saves woman self-respect, not to- be placed
in the attitude of beggar, but 1t also
teaches her habits of economy, and accustoms
her to the disbursement of money. English
wives, high and low, keep household ac-
counts in a way which would surprise many
American women. Every penny spent in
the house goes down in the ''housekeeper' IS
book, with which every mistress of house
hold is provided. Every bill is filed away
carefully when receipted. In fact every
perfect system OF order prevails, which en-
ables every man to know exactly what it
costs him to keep up his home. In this
country every expenditure is made to bear
its proper relation to the income received.
House rent must be only such percentage,
table outlay so much, servants outlay so
much, children's schooling so much, amls-
giving SO much, and if at the end of one
year it is found that the income has been
exceeded, these people Immediately proceed
to reduce items in every department. The
general style of their living remains about
the same, but it is necessarily not quite SC
generous

a Brave Bow.

A brave lad has lately performed rare
feat of courage, common sense and presence
of mind, in Berlin, in the presence OF very
few observers. A milk-cart, containing no
one but little girl about three years old
was being wildly dragged along the Null
enstrasse by a furious horse, and no one
dared to rush out at the bri1leof the galloping
beast. A boy, apparently not more than
thirteen years old, sprang forward and
rolled large empty tub, which was stand
ing at shop-dOor, down into the center Of
the road.
This brought the horse to an instant's
pause, and VIII n he tried to pass at its side
the boy seized the bride and hung on, at
the same moment throwing up his legs, and
clasping them tightly rOund the horses
neck. This heavy burden In so unusual q
place brought the terrified beast to full
stop, and the bystanders hurried up and
lifted the little girl out of the
cart. While all manner of questions and
soothing speeches were being addressed to
her, the hero of the action quietly slipped
away, no one knowing his name or dwell
ing.

Behalf of Women.

Apropos of the Woman's Suffrage Con-
vention, lately held, the average.thinker and
reader will ask, why, when women are call
ing for rights and power for the sex, they do
not try to sustain one another IN all noble
effort and enterprise that is to result in good
to women; and be a positive proof Of doc.
trims and theories so often eloquently set forth
through the press, and on the platform2 If
opportunity arises fer them to show true
substantial appreciation of the sexes worth
and capabilities, it would seem they should
be the last TO shrink from giving means to
women 10 prove her merit in Art, Science,
Letters, and industries of all kinds. If not
trenching upon ground too foreign, we
would like to ask why, when the ladies oil
Boston determined TO present the White
House with portrait of Mrs. Hayes as a
temperance testimonial, they chose a man
for the work, and passed by all the lady
artists of America, even such eminent
women ar Mrs. Morrell, Miss Ransom and
Miss Fsssett, who certainly have given us
some fine work as any exhibited in this
country. Was the gentleman chosen more
capable, more temperate, more efficient in
working for wOman's advancement than
these artists, and the hundreds who are with
them in spirit and work?
It is little wonder that men say decisively
of times, ''you never help one another ii
women wsnt aid they must go to men, not
your sex" Every effort and opportu
nifty that affords woman's brain and energy
chance to come to the front with substs..-
tial results is to be hailed with praise. Yet
none but the noblest types of womanhood,
need hope to succeed as leaders in this adj
vancement, who are unselfshly devoted to
the cause of humanity, since work for wo-
man must mean that.

Billy Florence's travelling Acquaintance.

William J. Florence tells the following
funny story to reporter of the London
Theater:
"Once during tour in the Western States
an incident occurred, in which L rather think
played the victim. We were en- route
from Cleveland to Cincin7 att an eight or
ten hours journey. After seeing my wife
comfortably seated / walked forward to the
smoking-car, and, seating myself in the
only unoccupied place, pulled out my CT
gar-case and offered cigar 10 the person
next to me. He was man about sixty
years of age, gentlemanly in appearance,
and of a somewhat reserved and bashful
mien. He gracefully accepted the cigar,
and in few moments we became engaged.

"Are you going far West?" inquired.
"Merely so far as Columbus" said he.

"I have acted in almost every State of the

"Mrs. Florence and myself are tolerably

prise; 'is this Mr.. Florence, the comedian 2

panion.
Thus we chatted for an hour or two. at
length my attention was attracted to u
little red-faced man, with small, sharp
looking eyes, who sat Immediately oppsite
US, and amused himself by sucking the knob
of large, walking-stick which he carried
nursing in his arms. He had more than
once glanced at me in a knowing manner,
and every now and then giving sly wink
and shake of the head at me, as much as to
say.
''Ah, old fellow, know you, too"
These attentions were so marked that /
ultimately asked my fellow-passenger if he
had noticed them.
THAT man acts like lunatic?" said 1
soto voice.
"a poor, halfwitted fellow, possibly" re-
piled my companion. SIN your travels

acters."
We had now reached Crestline, the din

for the agreeable way in which he had en-.
abled me to pass the journey up to thi:
point, asked him if he would join Mrs
