See that yoar husband Is properly fed and
seeing that you are properly clothed. The
experiment is worth trying anyway.
When any of your husbands relatives come
always give them the spare room. If you
should give up your own apartment and
sleep in the spare room yourself you might
catch Your death of cold.
Judge man not by great deeds, but by the
little attentions of daily life If he nightly
brings an evening paper home to you, be
sure that although older and more careworn
than when he marriel you he is your ardent
lover still.
Put down bedroom carpets late in the day,
when it is too dark to see where you drop
your tacks. When your husband gets up at
night and goes searching around for the par
egoric he will find them and perhaps pick
them up for you.
In family of children it usually happens
that one or two are bad tempered and very
hard to manage. Never lose an opportunity
of reminding your husband that they do not
bear the slightest resemblance to any mem
Der of your family. This will keep him from
fancying that they take after YOU
1t is very necessary when a business man
comes horne after a day of harassing care
and continued struggles with powerful COM
petitois that his mind should be distracted
from such subjects. The best way to accom-
plish this is to spend the evening telling him
about the incapacity aud impudence OF your
servants
Always keep tbs love letters your husband
wrote you before marriage in well-locked
iron box in the darkest corner of the attic.
Nothing puts man in such temper as to
stumble across his former effusions and read
few pages of them. Some men under such
circumstances have been known to kick
themselves down stairs and be seriously in
! jured.
Always be in some far away part of the
house when your husband comes in and let
HIM hunt you UP. If he finds you in tho lum-
Der room covered with dust and dirt slashing
around with q wet cloth in your hand, he will
know that your are faithfully doing your
.'dootyn If you should meet him in the hal
with neatly arranged hair and a smiling, up
turned face, he might imagine that you had
been lounging in the parlor all day reading
| French novels.

Attractions for the Crowd.

Walking through Wall street noticed the
workmen laying the foundation for the
Washington statue A crowd was watching
the Job. How easily a crowd is gathered
herel Phe reason is found in the fact that
large part Of the pepulace is composed of
those who tramp the streets without appar-
ent purpose, and are always ready to stop
and gaze. Fourteenth street is the biggest of
such idle gatherings, as there Is q window
there lin the third story in which ridiculous
marionettes are exhibited. These little toys
are only fit for the children, and yet they at
tract great numbers of grown people, who
stand on the opposite side and gaze with
strange intentness on the silly performance.
The joke of the thing Is that the latter is only
has hired the window for this purpose, and
while be attracts the public he also parades
his business.
A crowd Of fashion worshipers IS always
found at Arnold &c Constable's immense
corner window, where a half dozen wax
figures display the fall styles In the most gor-
geous manner. Rich and poor mingle In this
circle of admiration. Here one meets an ir-
resistiable denial of the idea that beauty
unadorned is adorned the most. No, mol

to halt and lookl Each one gazes moment
or two, and then passes on, but some one else

Wendell Phillips "Reminiscences OF
Fanny Kenlble.

Some time since it was my good for
tune to be present at ia private luncheon
when Wendell Phillips was the only
other guest. The great orator was in
the best of spirits, talking, as few men
can talk, of things past, present and
future. Some chat of theatrical mat
ters started him upon "reminiscences of
the days of Fanny Kemble.
"We saved all our money" he said,
"to buy tickets. was in the law
school, and some of my friends sold
everything they could lay hands on,
books, clothing or whatever came first,
to raise funds. Then we walked In

Kemble were to be bought. went
nineteen nights running to see her,
Sundays, of course, excepted. After
the play we used to assemble where the
Parker house is now-it was the rear
entrance to the fremont theatre then
to see her come out. She would be SO
muffied up that we could not even see
her figure, but we used to find great
satisfaction in seeing her walk by on
the arm of her escort up to the fremont
house. Then we would give three
student cheers for her and walk out to
Cambridge to bed.
s'Such audiences as she had, too! IF
you'd put cap sheaf down over the
theatre, you would have covered about
all Boston had to boast of in the way of
culture and learning Webster and

to be SO enthusiastic that he'd talk
about her all the time of the lecture.
Next morning he'd say, Phillips or
somebody else, as the case might be-

Well, what did you think of the per-
formance?' said to him once: Judge

Examples OF Prodigious Memory.

A conductor must have prodigious mu-
sical memory if he can, as Herr Richter usu-
ally does, conduct such score by heart,
never forgetting to beckon to any instrument
at the very second wanted. say a pro-
digious musical memory, because the faculty
of remembering is by no meaus general,
but special one. One man may, as Richter
for instance, know number of scores by
heart, another may be able TO keep an in
credible number of figures in his remem
brance, and not be able to retain the smallest
musical motif. The Emperor Napoleon Ill,
who never forgot man he had once spoken
to, could SO little remember musical theme
that you might have played the same thing
twice over to him and given 1t two different
names, and he never would have known it.
An example of the most astounding mem
ory is the winner of the national chess tour
nament, Mr.. Zuckerfort. He is capable not
only of playing game of chess by heart. l.
e., without ever looking at his board, but be-
ing told his adversary's move, instantly re-
plying with his countermove and keeping the
position, however altered, in his head but
further, he played sixteen games at the same
time in the same way, that is to say, before
each of sixteen tables sat a player with a
board, and they informed him after each
other of their respective moves; he replied
and never confounded one position with an
other, never made false move, but twice de-
tected, where on purpose false moves were
made to test him, the wrong direction. He
performed an especially curious feat in the
house Of friend where there was a whist
party, playing game of chess by heart with
some one in the adjoining room, and when
Il
through his cards then put them away, and
each time his turn came he mentioned the
card he wished to play. all the while continu-
ing his chess game, and never keeping either
his chess or his whist partner waiting one
minute for the necessary move.

Lake Michigan BoomIng.

NY friend stopped to shake hands with a
stole in a slouch hat, taking the rain as it
came, but this time retained the umbrella.
Returning to shelter, he said: "That man is
q character. He lives down the Illinois Cen
tral about $50 miles, and is pretty well off, as
they say there. The last time he was In Chi
cago there were freshets throughout the
state, and all the streams were very high
On his return home his neighbors asked him
how the lake was, and he said with great
positiveness Booming. The rains filed her
plumb full, and the water OFF by the crib was
ten feet higher than ever saw it before.
And the worst of it was his remark was
quoted in the district school for months

The wardrobe Of the Noble Ronan

tbs surprising that the apparel Of
the Greeks and Romans so long MAIN.
tanned its simplicity of form. The prin-
tive dress Of both nations was single
tunic, falling from the shoulders to the
feet. Above this there was afterward
worn aslorter tunic coming to the waist,
and to this was added an outer cloak or.
tunic for outdoor wear or for journeys.
The shape of these garments permitted
several to be worn, one over the other,
when the severity of the weather re-
quired. Each of them had It's reason
for being, and they were ell simplicity
itself in form and material.
When Rome became luxurious, they
were sometimes expensiyely ornamented
with gold, jewels, and embroidery, yet
their ancient cut was but slightly modi-
fed from the earliest period. Collars
and cravats were to the noble Roman
an unknown barbarism. Even when
the tailor gave his tunie shape he left
the neck bare, showing the fine way in
which the head was set upon the
shoulders. For this reason, as well as
because the outer tunic, or toga, showed
striking outlines of the figure, statuesque
attitudes were easy, and no sculptor
had to go far to find models for Jupiter,
Apollo, or Antinous. There was little
to be considered in this mode of dress
besides the cut of the tunic.
The Roman might wear helmet and
gauntlets in war time, but gloves were
not for his hands in time of peace. nor
did he wear hat or cap, except when he
went on journey, which was not often.
Sandals fastened with thongs covered
part of his foot and ankle, but stock
ings were effeminate, and he left their
use to his wife and daughter. Shirt,
III the modern sense, he had not, and
to have incased his manly limbs in close
fitting pantaloons would have been an
insult to his personal freedom. Yet
each separate portion of ancient dress
contained the germ of an article of
modern apparel. The inner tunic COR
responded remotely with the shirt, the
shorter one above it survives in the
modern vest, while the outer tunic is
family represented by the coat. When
a Roman wiehed to protect his neck
he drew the folds of his toga closer
about it, and sometimes threw the gar
ment over his head when the sun or
rain was troublesome, after the manner
of an Arab burnoose.
