THE KIND OF WIFE HE WANTS.


Fos@' ths B@'iing'oH Harkeys.
You say you demand the noblest type
Of useful womanhood in your wife. If
that is the sort Of woman you want,
marry Nora Mulligan, your laundress'
daughter. She wears cowhide shoes, is
guiltless Of corsets, never had sick
day in her life, takes in washing, goes
out house cleaning, and cooks for a
family Of seven children, her mother,
ann three section men, who board with
her. don't think she would marry
you, because Con Regan, the track walk
er, is her style of man. Let us just
examine into your qualifications as 4
model husband after your own matri-
monial ideas, my boy. Can you shout
der barrel of flour and carry it down
to the cellar Can you saw and split
ten cords Of hickory wood in the fall so
as to have ready fuel for all winter
Can you spade up half an acre of ground
for a kitchen garden DO you know
what will take the Shiny taste out Of the
new cistern, and can you pitch the little
leak in the kitchen roof Can you bring
home pane of glass and wad Of putty
and repair damages in the sitting-room
window? Can you hang some cheap paper
on the kitchen ? Can you fix the from,
gate so il will notsag? Can you do any
thing about the house that Con Regain
canl My dear boy, you see why Nora
Mulligan will have none of you she
wants higher type Of true manhood.
You expect to hire men to do all the
mans work about the house, but you
want your wife to do everything that
any woman can do. Believe me, my
dear son, nine-tenths of the girls who
play the piano and sing so charmingly
whom you set down rs "mere butter
flies Of fashion," are better fitted for
wives than you are for husband. II
you want to marry frst-class cook and
experienced housekeepcr do your court
ing in the intelligence Office. But il
you want a wife marry the girl you love,
with dimpled hands and face like the
sunlight, and her love will teach her all
these things, my boy, long before you
have learned one.half Of your own
lesson.

with those who are hardened in crime, aud for
whom there IL little hope OF reform. In my

OF the many tricks Of those who live

"gold nugget pin dodge is the most

The rapid increase in the amount of the pro.
duets Of the West, the constantly growing de-
mand for these products, the necessity for the
lowest rates Of transportation Aftainable,
whereby the interests Of beth producer and
consumer may be advanced, have stimulated
the people Of the Mississippi valley to look to
other aud cheaper routes TO the sea-board and
foreign markets than those already open. OF
the routes attracting attention Ut the present
time. one is to be found in the natural high
way Of the Mississippi river, the improvement
Of which il mperatisely demanded. The other
may he obtainod by canal TO connect the wa
ters OF that river with the chain Of lakes, the
Erie canal aud the st. Lawrence river. Both
OF the routes are feasible. The plans for the
improvement Of the one and the construction
OF the other show that the cost will not be ex-
c.ssiye. and when completed these routes will
have m important bearing on the question OF
cheap transportation for it il easily foreseen
that Western products will % = consequence DO

charges attaiaable whether by rail or by water.
The opening Of these routes will also be great
factor in the solution Of the problem OF inter-

When an officer Of the French navy wishes to
marry 1t lie necessary to ask permission of the
minister marine, and ut the same time to state
tnat the lady possesses Q fortune Of at least
25, 600 francs This official then satisfies himself
that the statement Is correct by communicating
with the civil functionary who is familiar with
the financial condition Of her family, and this
information has to appear In writing at the time
of the civil marriage.
In the Russian navy An ofncer cannot marry
under the rank OF sub-leutenant, nor under the
age Of % years. II he marries before he is IS
he must show that he possesses Q capital OF
5000 roubles.
Up to the grade Of captain-lieutenant in the
German service an officer must have q capital Of
1900 thalers before he can marry, and must
also show certificates as to the respectfully Of

A lieutenant In the navy has, In his pay, the
equivalent OF sixty thousand dollars In Govern
ment bonds. With 90 much more from his wife,
he can maintain an establishment and social
status commensurate with his position under
the government, which is one Of high trust and
confidence. We can, however, readily dispense
with the question Of fortune II we can secure
legislation that will result In the establishment
OF regulations forbidding officers to marry until
they are lieutenants or thirty years OF age
By that time they will have seen something
of the world, and be able to Judge wisely of the
gravity Of the step. The service will not then
be hampered by young officers whose duty It ia

whose lofty ambition seems to be to remain on
shore and cOddle their babies. Service feeling
will receive q new impetus. The young and
aspiring. bound by no stronger ties than are
born Of the Idle Irritation OF an hour, will give
their fine abilities and splendid energies to the
profession they have chosen, and whose glory
will become their own.
