Things which they don Uhdefstahd.
Anybody who has led domestic hfe knows how
common such things as the headache, and pains in
the chest, are among the women who do the work.
Often, and perhaps generally, the distresses are
borne without much complaint, The women get
about, and the machinery of the house goes on.
Beyond this, those coarse grained animals whom
New England women cali the men folks" sell
dom look SO long as their wives or daughters are
not actually in bed, under the doctors care, the
average thick-skinned husband and father gives
the subject no attention Al the same time the
poor household drudges-who deserve a better
fate-creep around, broom or utensils in hand, up
stairs, down stairs and out-of-doors, doing that
womans work, which lis never done Losses of
loved wives and fair girls-fosses whose Sudden
ness and unexpectedness astonish those wooden
pated husbands and fathers-faH, seemingly out
Of clear sky, ana form the logical sequel to the
story Of neglect.
Now, you men who stand at the heads of ten
Thousand auch homes, allow asto drop word in
your receptive cars. If these women OF yours are
worth having, they are worth saving. That back
ache, that pain in the chest! What are they but
in lications of some organic trouble of the kid

never be made a monte of content and

never be made homie of content and
happiness. And there are thousands Of
other questions to be looked after in
purchasing and building country
home. Such as the location of the
school-house, the church, and the char

In city one can select his associates

In all of the history OF the world coun-
try life has been sought by men of
science, learning, or opnlence. Among
the ancient Romans its advantages were
portrayed in glowing eolors in prose
and poetry The modern British aris-
tocracy have their homes on their es-
tates far removed from the fashions and

than-in the West, the men of wealth

the country home. There they have

mands of surrounding city life. Alnuch
better control in the formation of the

an abundance of pure air and an ex.
pansion of the mind by the wider range
