How a Married Woman Goes to
sleep.

There is an article going the rounds en-
titled: GLOW the Girls Go to Sleep" The
manner in which they go To sleep, accord
ing 10 the article, can't hold candle to
the way a married woman goes to sleep.
Instead of thinking what she should
have attended to before going to bed, she
thinks of it afterward. While she Is re-
volving these matters i'm her mind, and
while snugly tucked up in bed, the old
man is scratching his legs in front Of the
fire, and wondering how Re will pay the
next months rent. Suddenly she says:
"James, did you lock the door,"
(Which door," says James.
"The cellar door," says she.
"No," says James.
"Well, You better go down and lock 1t,
for heard some person in the back yard
last night.
Accordingly, James paddles down stairs
and locks the door. About the time James
returns and Is going to get into bed, she
remarks:
"No," SAYS James.
"Well, If il is not shut, the Cat will get
up into the bedroom"
"Let her come up, them" says James
ill-naturod.
MY goodness, no." returns his wife.
"She'd suck the baby's breath"
Then James paddles down stairs again,
and steps on tack, and closes the stair
door, and curses the cat, and returns to
the bedroom. Just as he begins to climb
into his couch his wife observes!
81 forgot to bring up some water. Sup
pose you bring some up In the big tim"
And 80 james, with a muttered curse,
goes down into the dark kitchen and falls
over chair, and rasps all the tinwarc off
the wall in search Of the big" tin, and
then Jerks the stair-door open and howls:
"Where the deuce are the natches?"
She gives him minute directions where
To find the matches, and adds that she
would rather go aud get the water herself
than have the ncighborhoOd raised about
it. After which James finds the matches,
procurcs the water, comes upstairs and
plunges into bed.
Presently his wife says:
"James, let's have an understanding
about money matters. Now, next week
I've got to pay"
II don't know what you'll have to pay,
and don't care" shouts James, as he
lurchcs around and jams his face against
the wall call | want is sleep"
"1hat's all very well for you," snaps
his wife, as she pulls the cover viciously;
"you never think of tho worry and trouble
j have. And there's Araninta, who l be-
licye is taking the measles"
"Lct her take en-" says James.
Hereupon she begins to cry softly, but
about the time James is falling into gen.
tie dozc she punches him in the ribs with
her elbow and says:
"Did you hear that scandal about Mrs.
Joncs?"
"What Joncs?" says James sleepily.
"Why, Mrs. Jones'"
''Where?" inquired James.
81 DECLARE" says his wife, 'you are
getting more stupid every day. You know
Mrs. Jones that lives at No. 81? Well,
day before yesterday, Susan Smith told
Mrs. Thompson that Sam Baker has said
that Mrs. Jones had"
Here she pauses and listens. James Is
snoring in profound slumbcr. With a
snort of rage she pulls all the cover off
him, wraps herself up in them and lays
awake until a. H., thinking how badly
used she is.
And that is the way married woman
goes to sleep.

A Simple Test.

People who seek healthy sites for
building themselves homes are often vic
tins to their sense of sight or to that of
others In many cases the sense of smell
Is inferior and the eyes are left 10 sup
ply the deficiency. A building site may
be charming to the vision and made adj
ditionaly attractive by being in or prox-
innate to "a good neighborhood, - as the
phrase runs, and the family house pur-
chased or builded may possess all the APP
planes of sanitation known to experts
in building and plumbing, and yet be a
mansion of death Life slips away in a
manner which surprises physicians and
brings woe to the survivors. Not long
since, in an upper district of New y ork
city, the family Of Il well-known clergy
man was almost decimated by diphthe-
ria, and still, so far as external appear
ances were concerned, the house was dry
and inviting, and, strangest of all, in a
neighborhood we'll paved and densely
populated by an excellent class of citi-
zens. The premises underwent inycsti-
CATION by plumbers and were pronounced
free from all faint of sewer gas. Yet the
dread carnival of death carried dismay
into the hearts of the heads of the fam
lily, and the house was abandoned. Sim
liar instances have, and will always,
abound until some simple test for the
detection of malarial odors and iniluen-
ces are made. The simplest of all is to
place pieces of fresh meat on the pro-
posed site, properly protected from theft,
and in twelve hours time it can be de-
cided whether or not the place is I'M
healthy or the reverse. If the fresh meat
rapidly petrifies avoid the locality as
you would plague spot. All architects
should be students of hygiene as we'll as

One hundred letters were written to as
many well-known "thinkers' of Vim
cennes, requesting answers to the ques-
ton: "What is love!' The result of the
editors labors indicates a confusing vari-
ETY. of opinion among the people of Vim
cennes as to what love is. Following
are the answers from sixteen different
persons:
The most interesting and pardonable
of human weakness.
a mere delusion that has ruined many
men.
A feeling of such exquisite tenderness
that it is too sweet for comparison.
don't know anything about it; don't
think it amounts TO much.
The sweetest and most passionate eX-
element known to man--binding to-
gether by the strongest cords sex,
kindred and nations
Don't know anything about it; never
was there.
1t is something that no fellow can find
out-yet all feel its power, more or less.
A sweet and delusive Imagination only
a dormant passion Of the mind aroused
by beauty or intellectual qualities of some
one woman.
An undefnable principle which all be-
ings possess, and which lies at the foun-
dation of all happiness.
a noble passion that envelopes our
whole being, and shows itself in every
thought, word and action.
True bliss-void of fancy-of happiest
happiness.
An egotism of two.
A feeling that takes root in the heart,
and is only made perfect when it enters
the soul.
\ latent faculty Of the mind that, when
aroused, glows with radiance that illu-
inmates the gloomiest mind, and yields
a power of influence that is uncqualed.
One of the worst diseases of the heart.

The causes which produce tattooing are
two, both simple! The first is idleness,
the second is a slight stirring of the in
stincts of art. Man was decorated be-
fore he was a clothcs-wearing animal. The
Dyak ladies in Bornco are beautifully
tattoOed in herring bone and other pat
terms, laid in with soft, harmonious
blue The effect is excellent, and one
can readily believe that it might have a
momentary vogue among the eccentrici-
ties of European fashion. 1t is more
decorative, though, unluckily, more per-
manent than powder and patches.
The great tattooers among European
people are French soldiers and French
criminals. The idlcr and more dis
reputable the man, the more time he
passes under arrest, the more is he likely
to be tattooed. The long vacuous leisure
of prisons, barracks, and guard-rooms is re-
lieved by the art of taItooing Vermil-
ion and China ink are chiefly used, and a
vast number of emblcms are engraved on
the human frame. Mere fantastic pic
lures are the most common; then come
amatory devices, hearts, caspcd hands,
and the like, patriotic and religious and
professional symbols and 50 forth. One
man was decorated with a picture of d
carriage, coronet and all, in which lady
sat and watched the efforts of two grooms
to control her fiery horses. Sometimes
the caricature of Prince Bismarck is tat
tooed. Shoemakers and carpenters dec
crate themselves with pictures emblematic
of their trades. Two foils and a mask
are the ''moko," as the New Zealanders
say, or .attooed crest of a fencer; gum
