PRECIOUS. Never let yourself become an
old story; be just a little uncertain.
Another important fact is, don't be too
good; it hurts his feelings and becomes
monotonous. Cultivate pleasant voice,
SO that this yery-mortal man may have
his conscience prick him when he is in
jeopardy its pleasant ring will haunt
him much more than would shrilI one.
1t is hard to do all this, beside taking
care OF the babies and looking after vex-
atious household cares, and smiling
when he comes home, but il seems
necessary. To be born a woman is to
be born a martyr" says a husband who
for ten years has watched IN amazement
his wife treading the winepress of her
existence. 1t is a pitiful sight to some
men. But if the wife does not make a
study of these things, the happy will, to
steal away the honor from his silver
hairs when he is full of years and the
father of sons and daughters. At the
same time, gudewife, keep from trying
any of these things on any other man
but your own. These rules are only
evolved to order to tkeep q husband. !"

Female suffragist. Think Of This.

Where ignorance is bliss It's folly
to be wise, and perhaps the Turkish
woman is, through ignorance, as happy
as her occidental sisters. But what
would the women (or the men either for
that matter) of England and America
say if they had to exist-for it cannot be
called living -under the laws of Turkey.
where code of rules has recently been
drawn up by the Ministry of Police for
the guidance of women? They are not
permitted to wear wells in the more pub
lie streets of Constantinople, and they
are excluded entirely from certain thor
oughfares. They cannot enter the Grand
Bazaar, and are not allowed to sit In the
shops. Two or three of them meeting
on the street are not permitted to stop
and chat together; they must emoye
on. Worst of all, no man is allowed to
address woman while out of doors.
Think Of this They can't talk together.
and man mustn't talk to them. So far
as their out-of-door walks are concerned.
they must go through life mumchance.
The man who violates this rule is liable
to punishment under the Criminal Code.
It is matter for wonder why even the
Turks viii submit to such barbaric gov
eminent, but the Turk is fatalist who
takes things as they come.-Boston

Records show that these poor tori
mented creatures possess good qualities,
and can perform really noble actions
from innate goodness quite prospect
i've OF education. Darwin funisheg
most conclusive evidence Of this in q
story he tells. A keeper in the Zoology
cal Gardens, while kneeling On the floor
of the cage, was suddenly attacked by g
fierce balloon. A little American mon
key, which was warm friend of the
keeper, lived in the same compartment
with, and was dreadfully afraid of,
the great baboon. But as soon as
the poor little fellow saw his friend,
the keeper, in peril, he rushed to the
rescue, and by screams and bites so dis
tracted the baboon that the man was
enabled to effect his escape, not, how
ever, without having run great risk of
losing his life, according to the opinion
of the surgeon who attended him.
Monkeys have long memories, and
some of them can infict cruel punish
ments. Mrs. Lee tells of having greatly
offended one in the Jardin DIES Plantes,
at Paris, by tapping him on the hands
for ll-treating one Of his fellowpris--
oners, and he never forgave her. When
ever he saw her on future occasions, or
even when he heard her voice, he flew
into q passion and rolled about in o
rage, I'm one instance Selling her gown
through the bars of his cage and tear
ing a piece out of it, although it was of
stout material. OF another monkey,
whose place of exile was in the West
Indies, a crueler revenge is known.
This individual, kept tied to stake,
was often robbed of his food by the
crows. This was how he revenged him
self. He lay quite still ON the ground
and pretended to be dead. By degrees
the birds approached and repeated their
thefts. The artful little fellow never
stirred, but let the crows steal to their
hearts content until he was sure of them.
When he was sure that one was within
reach of his fingers he male grab at
it and caught it. When he had got hold
of the luckless bird he sat down and de-
iberately plucked the feathers out Of it,
and then flung it toward its screaming
comrades, who, for reasons best known
to themselves, Immediately surrounded
it and pecked it to death. "The express
sion of Joy on the animals countenance, !"
says the witness of the affair, twas alto
gether indescribable. Happily, most of
these prisoned "men Of the woods" are
better natured, and SO deeply attached to
each other that if one die its companion
should it have one--almost always
dies of grief. The Standard for Feb
ruary, 1859, stated that "the cat-faced
monkeys from New Granada had died
within a few days of each other-the
female from inflammation of the lungs
and the male apparently from grief,
as, after the death of his companion,
he refused all food. These models
Of conjugal tenderness were at the
Jardin des Plantes for seven years.

lit is now twelve years." he says,
"since I met my wife In the house Of
her parents in Athens. In the course of
the conversation I made an astonishing
discovery. The young 18-year-old girl,
as the talk turned upon the Iliad, recited
for me long piece from that work with
literal accuracy. We were soon absorbed
in the subject, and on the same day I
was able to tell her, Next Thursday

made our wedding journey thither.
Then came the time for learning. I re-
cited Homer to her and she repeated it
after me. During our married life we
have not had a single falling out-not
even our Agamemnon and his sister.
The only dispute we ever had was when
we had different ideas about the render
ing of a passage in Homer"

An advertisements in q morning paper
for an experienced quill-pen cutter called
out an interview with the only quill-pen
importer and manufacturer in this city.
He said that twenty years ago there were
several quill-pen makers here and IN 9TH
er cities. Now one in Philadelphia and
himself are all he knows. Quill pens
are used mainly by old lawyers and
Judges, partly from custom, but chiefly
because they are easy to write with.
Most Of the quills come from Russia.
The Russian goose has q harder quill
than our geese. An unclarified pen from
the wing Of aRassian goose is the most
durable The German quilts have the
best plumage. \ two-dozon box of good
quilts win last two or three months easi-
" for man who knows how TO mend his
own pens.
The instrument used in pen-mahng is
the ordinary blade of the penknife, In
serted firmly into q wooden handle of
peculiar shape, tapering to point. A
pen is made with two cuts or three. The
blunt end of the quill is first cut off, be-
cause it is not tough. Then the point
Of the handle is inserted, and the quill
is carefully split for o certain distance.
Two siashing cuts then form the nib,
and the pen is done. The pluma8e is
neatly trimmed.
Swan quilts are sometimes used for
pens, but are very much more expensive
than the common goose quill. Quill
pens are sold at retail for about 3 shill-
ings dozen. The demand is steady,
such as it Is, but it is growing less year
by year.-Scieatifc american.

Bed.

Asat least one third of our lives is pass
ed in our beds, their arrangement and
furnishing is matter of no small i'm
portance. The new steel spring bed is
OF course the bed Of the future. Fulflls
every intention of fexibility; it is dura-
BILE; 1t goes with the beadstead. as an
actual part of it, and it can never can be
nest or receptacle OF contagion or i'm
purity. On the subject of bed-clothes
the points that have most to be enforced
are that heavy bed-clothing is always a
mistake, and that weight in no trne sense
means warmth The light down quilts
or coyerlets which are coming into gen
eral use are the greatest improvements
that have been made in oul time in re-
gard 20 bed-clothes. One of these quilts
takes well the place of two blankets, and
they cause much less fatigue from
weight than layer upon layer Of blanket
covering. The clothing must be regn-
lated according to the needs of each in
dlvldual; the body under the clothes
must neither be too cold or too hot; but
it IS better to sleep with too little than
too much clothing. The position of the
bed IN the bedroom is of moment. The
foot of the bed to the fireplace is the
best arrangement when it can be car
ried out The bed should be away from
the door, Sc that the door does not open
upon it, and should never, if it can be
helped, be between the door and fire. IF
the head Of the bed can be placed to the
east, so that the body lies in the line of
the EARTH motion, / think it is the best
position for the sleeper. The furniture
of the bedroom, other than the bed,
should be of the simplest kind. The
chairs should be uncovered, and free
from stlffing of wooden or other materi-
al; the wardrobe should have closely fit
ting doors; the utensils should have
closely fitting covers; and eyerying, that
can IN any way gather dust should be
carefully excluded.

The string that tied the dog fetched loosa

That misadyenture cooked his goose,

Bright eyes were passing on the street.
Soft voices laughed in gIee.
And merry shouts from happy hearts
Called other hearts 10 see

With happy faucies blest;

Ere sorrow breaks its chain;
