HANDY HUSBANDS AGAIN Noticing Il
piece with the above title, | thought |
would pursue the subject little farther
and give my idea of the handiest kind OF
husband to have around Bear in mind
one cannot have every virtue and grace in
any one person-even ina handy husband
The most handy husband to have around
is one who can stand bstween his family
and want, whose energy and good man
agement will place his family in pros
perity, and win and keep for them house
of comfort and plenty. He stands between
them and.a mortgage on the barn or house
and lot, and in sickness he is a tower of
strength to fall back upon; he can sit up
nights TO take care of the invalids and do
neighburlv deeds at any time. Such hus-
band may, and quite often does, take off
his boots in the kitchen and empty the oats
| from them upon the floor and think moth
| ing of it; but one of your nice feminine
men would never attend to his out of-door
work well enough TO raise any oats to get
| in his boots in harvest time. Ii handy
business man forgets to notice when the
wood box or water pail is empty, whose
business is it to direct some one to fill it
bu. that OF the mistress of the house?
Some of the household affairs belong to
her 10 look after. never see one Of these
exceedingly nice men about n house, so
very thoughtful about small things, that
do not feel like driving him out of the
house. If we all waited Tor husbands until
one of these handy accomplished men
came along the most of us would be old
maids, and usually we might better be old
| maids than 10 have n husbund without the
masculine qualities that giveto women the
feeling Of having protector in time OF

SUNLIr Rooms No article of furniture
should be put in room that will not stand
sunlight. for every room in dwelling
should have the windows so arranged that
some time during the day flood of sun
shine will force itself into the apartments.
The importance of admitting the light of
the sun freely into all parts of our dwell
ings cannot be too highly estimated. In
deed, perfect health is nearly as much de-
pendent on pure sunlight as it is on pure
air. Sunlight should never be excluded
except when so bright as to be uncomfort-
able to the eyes. And walks should be in
bright sunlights, so that the eyes are pro-
tected by vail OF partsol when inconven-
lcntly intense. A sun bath is Of more
importance in preserving Il heaIthful con-
ditOn of the body than is generally
understood. \ sun bath costs nothing
and that i II misfortune, for people are
dcluled with the idea that those things
only Gun be good or useful which cost
money. Int remember that pure water,
fresh air and sunlit homes kept free from
dampnesS, will secure You from many
heavy bills of the doctors and give you
health and vigur which no money can
procure. 1t IS II wen CSltOllSucu ldCI ludl
the people who live much in the sun are
usually stronger than thO,e whose oCCupa.
tons deprive them OF sunlight. And Ger.
tainly there Is nothing strange IN the result
since the same law applies with equal
force to nearly every animate thing in
nature. 1t is quite easy TO arrange an iso
lated dwelling so that every room may be
flooded with Sunlight sometime in the day
and it is possible that many town houses
could he so built rs to admit more light
than they now receive. -BuEidcr ana

The Highways.

Judge Veazey in his charge to the grand
Jury at the opening of his recent term of
court, made some pretty severe remarks
on the present laws relating to highways
aud the consequent dangerous condition
in which they are found and which as
1.-The gross negligence which the condition
of the highways makes painfully plain to
rhe traveller" Here is additional high
Official testimony as TO the pernicious in
Auencc of the present law as shown in
even poorer roads than we had before.
The Judevine law is a contradiction OF
ITSELF In one place it comedies tho right
of persons injured by insuflicency of the
highway to recover damages, and in an
other place denies to them the right which
it comedies is just. A bridge is no more
and no less part of the highway than any
other portion of it, and is not at all af-
iected by its length Or the dapsl of the
chatm it spans. Why the is the right
of recovery of damages f. jtjuries with
held on other parts of the Highway which
i. conceded and granted on bridges Of
moro than eight feet span. person is
liable to receive rs severe injury by de-
ects in short bridges or dangerous holes
in the road, as he is on a Slightly defective
bridge of over eight feet span. |. II tray
eler's horse steps through It hole in Il
bridge and breaks its leg, wha. 4 l'Tcnce
TO the owner what the span OF that bridge
may be? If man be thrown down Il
precipcc of twenty feet from lack Of Il
railing, anil breaks limb, what odds
whether he falls from bridge or another
portion Of the highway, where the dis
lance is the same and the lack oF pro!rc-
ton equally great. The principal of rr
sponsibiity for damages, for non poet g.
nance of duty is everywhere concrd lie.
It is conceded in the present law when
makes towns liable to be indicted for poor
highways, though not unless notice A.s
been given at least fifteen days before ll-
term of court; requirement WhicAJujg
Veazey says he would like 10 see rep"aoI
1t is conceded in the bill presented by
Mr.. Cushing which makes selcctmen and
surveyors liable to fine for not keeping
the roads in repair. To convict one of
these officials presupposes defective
highway. But suppose some traveller has
sustained injury, the lining of the surveyor
in no manner makes good the damage re-
ceivcd by an innocent party. The only
argument used by the friends of the pres.
ent law is that sometimes people claimed
and recovered damages for greater in
iures than they received.
1t is not, and cannot he denied that our
highways are not in the condition FOR stfc
and COM Portable travel under the present
law, nor have we ever heard it claimed
that they were safe under the old law
What the people want is safe and com
Portable roads, and redress for injuries
received by the failure or neglect Of duty
of those who have them in charge.

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless 1t is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the onlr sure and quick way to drive
it ont is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and The highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BRoWN's IRoN BITTERs willthor-
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ING it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and 1t will
