Men cling to their wives for various
reasons:
Through mere love of comfort, as one
is attached to good kitchen utensil.
Through habit, as one likes the cosy
armchair, he is always certain to find in
the enc place on coming home.
Through economy; you could not hire
servant who would not cost you twice
as much, and serve you only half as well.
Through pride-just as one persists in
refusing to reconsider foolish choice
one has made lest people should talk
about it,
Through love of peace: A separation
would cause so much scandal and create
so much trouble.
Through fear Of public opinion: What
would the neighbors say, and her friends
and above all, her relatives?
Through imitation: Everybody else
sticks to his wife, so one must do like the
balance.
Through instructive attachment to the
children one has by her.
Through force of character: Just as
a great soul bears a catastrophe without
a word Of complaint.
Through virile dignity; one must re-
spect ones name, you know.
Through legal compulsion: There is
no cause to offer for suit, there are no
facts to justify it.
Through philosophy: All women re-
semble each other.
Through a spirit Of penitence: cit is
all my fault, my own fault, my most
grievous fault
Through remorse of conscience:
"Poor little woman, it's not her fault
that I am tired of her."
Through petty vanity because every
body says, "what splendid womanp
Through spite: $50, I have been
caught in the trap-sh! let others fall in
it Also"
And now, ye untrustworthy apostles
of domestic worship, that I have summed
up these variations of conjugal attach
ment, find me the household that have
been looking for, 10! these twenty years,
in order that I may be able to add
Sometimes after few months Of mar
ried life, man still clings to his wife
through love.

ProgreSS in Norway.

From recent statistics issued by the
Norwegian Government it appears that
the mercantile marine of that country
is increasing at remarkable rate.
During 1878 the increase amounted to
SO, 600 tons, and at the commencement
of last year the fleet consisted of 7,942
sailing vessels and 3O6 steamers, being
about SO per cent. of the former and IL
per cent. of the latter class of vessels.
The proportion of steamers to sailing
vessels in most other countries is much
larger than in Norway. The great bulk
of the Norwegian sailing vessels are
employed in the American trade, the
export of produce from the United
States alone during the 1878 producing
in the way of freights S4,733,0 900
crowns, against 25,OOO,00O in 1877, and
1900, 900 in 1876,

Flowers for Perfumery.

Perfumers are aware of the curious
fact that some of our sweetest and most
delicately-scented flowers are of no value
for perfumery. For example, no pro-
cess has yet been discovered by which
the fragrance of sweet brier and eglan-
tine can be extracted and preserved, but
a good imitation Is produced by q COM
pound of neroi oil, with alcoholic ex-
tracts of rose pomade and of orange flow
ers. Lily of the valley, which is like
wise unavailable to the .perfumer, is well
initiated by combination OF vanilla, ex-
tract of tube-rose, jasmine, and otto of
almonds. Lilies are little used in per-
fumery, their odors being too powerful.

The wife of Owen Dougherty, Of
Chester, Pa, dreamed that there was
gold under rock at Rising Sun, near
Wilmington. According to the dream
there was a moss-c0vered brick on the
rock. Mrs. DoGgherty's father-in-law,
Thomas Dougherty, having faith in the
dream, took Mrs. D. to Rising Sun and
they found the rock with the brick On it.
Three men spent several hours digging
under the rock. What they found, or
rather didn't find, the three men prob
ably know.

Concerning States.

Last year the capital invested in the
slate trade in the United States was
nearly $4,000, 600, and the produce was
600, 900 squares, Pennsylvania alone
producing 100000. The largest quarry
contains 60 acres and employs 200 men.
It was opened in 1855, and in 1880 tnrned
out 10000 squares. The most durable
states are from Pennsylvania and Maine,
and are dark blue and blue black.
Green, red, purple and variegatec do not

King Frederick's Joke.
London Telegraph.


Conspicuous among the few men Of
his time who ever got the best of Fred
erick the Great in testing encounter
was an abbot of the Catholic Monastery
of Camenz, who succeeded in that high
Office the worthy Abbot Tobias, an old
favorite and friend of the Protestant
hero whom, upon a memorable occa-
sion, he had saved from capture by a
party of foraging Croat horsemen. The
king disliked the new abbot as heartily
as he liked the old; but having been hos
pitably entertained by him during the
last visit he ever paid to Camenz, he
deemed it fitting to recognize his hosts
attentions by some special mark of royal
grace, and, calling the abbot to his car
rage window, ae he was about to drive
away from the monastery gates, said to
him: .Ask me a favor" ssSire:'' OBJ
served the abbot, "our second bass
choir singer is recently dead. Doubt.
less your majesty can dispose of many
choirists in Berlin. Will my all-might-
lest, all-serenest monarch deign to be-
gift us with second bass?" The king,
after moments reflection, replied:
'I'n send you one from Neustadt on the
Dosse."
1t flashed across the abbot's mind
that Frederick had some short time pre-
viously set up an establishment for i'm
proving the breed of asses in the very
town mentioned by him, and, foreseeing
what sort of bass singer the kings pc
culiar humor would prompt him to for
ward to Camenz wherewith to recruit
its choir, he promptly rejoined: "Most
dread sovereign, in token of our graft
tude for your gracious bounty, and in
accordance with the custom of our or
der, we shall bestow upon our new
second bass the name of his exalted
donor. He will be known in our choir
as Fredericus Secundusr' The king
made no attempt to return this dexter
Gus home thrust, but drove off in silence,
which he maintained unbroken for
nearly an hour, when, turning to his
aid-de-camp, he dryly observed: 'That
is what one gets by joking with foolsr'
But he never again alluded to an epis-
sode in which he felt he had been
thoroughly worsted.

The Destruction Of the Trees.
From the indianapolis Journal

FrOm lut ILUI0HdpJIIs OOuIHd!.J
It seems difficult now to account for
the rage of early settlers for the destruc-
ton of fine timber. How many thou
sands of acres Of hard timber have been
girdled and burned from land, the sub
seauent crops of which would now pay
for the timber destroyed. So eager
have many been to get rid of native for
est trees that they have cut them down
and planted cedars and pines for shade
and ornament, and it is not uncommon
to see faring white painted farmhouse
standing out exposed to the burning sun
on the spot from which the most lovely
native trees have been removed.

Eyesight

It is the health, not the eyesight,
which parents with studious children
should ever protect, though they should
be most merciless in insisting on a
suficiency of light, and light which
actually reaches the object of attention.
You may sit in room full of light, but
have all the while only twilight, or even
a deep shadow falling on the work in
hand. Light, full light, but light with
out glare, is the grand preservation OF
the eyes.

TO pick berries. 1t was Emmy. a girl

All ut once the sun flashed on some
thing bright, and Emmy knew that the
pretty painted things she had seen
crawling among the bushes must b.
hostile Indians, with cleaning weapons
in their hands. She did not cry out or
in any way let them know she had seen
them. But she looked all about. saw
that some Of the creeping Indians al
really were between her and the fort,
and went on picking berries as before.
Soon she called aloud to Bessie, with
a steady: Don't you think it's going t.
rainp" So they both turned and walked
toward the fort. They reached the tall
grass, and suddenly Emmy dropped to
tho ground, pulling down Bessie, too.
.sWhat are you looking forp" asked
