Victor HugO's Daily Life.

In spite of his years he is still hale
and hearty; he eats well and drinks
well, and his only infirmity is deaf
ness. On Thursdays and Sundays,
which are reception days, the poet
goes to bed about 10 o'clock; on other
days he retires at 8 or $50. and in the
morning he works in bed ana rises
about 10. He breakfasts lightly,
walks, and, in spite of the suppiica-
tions of his family, he occasionally in
dulges in his old distraction of riding
on the knifeboard of bus. What
ever the weather, Victor Hugo still OBJ
stinately refuses to wear an Overcnat,
and, old as he is, he persists in abund-
ant cold water additions; but he no
longer takes his ''tub'' as he used to
during the siege of Paris, when he used
to break the Ice with his heel on cold
mornings. Victor Hugo still works,
but of course not very much; he has
his bolster and pillow placed at the
foot of the bed, so as to receive the
light directly from the window, and,
pencil in hand, passes an hour or two
every morning in classifying and cor
recting his unpublished works in proze
and verse. He has in manuscript half
a dozen plays, several volumes of
philosophy, which will be published
after his death. And so the old poet
lives, surrounded by his family, by his
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and Georges,
the latter a big boy of seventeen, who
is going to be a painter-and by his
faithful old friends Paul Meurice and
Auguste Vacquerie, who tell the old
man on days when he is weary and
thinking of the end, that he must try
to live until 1889, so that the opening
Of the Universal Exhibition and the
centenary of the Great Revolution may
be presided over by lie vieux Hugo

Choosing a Husband.

A girl, if she cannot always choose,
can always refuse, and generally her
difficulty is this: it is evident that this
man is making love to me. l do not
love him, but think | might do SO if
l chose. Shall l choose or shall l
forbear2 1t is here that the power of
choice comes in; and it is here that She
voice of prudence must be heard, If it
is heard at all. In such circumstances
a girl will act wisely if she pays con-
siderable attention to the general
opinion, which, in nine cases out of
ten, is held of the gentleman IN ques-
ton, by his professional brethren or
his business acquaintances. 1t is, in
short, not the man who is agreeable
among women, but he who is we'll
liked by his own sex, who is the man
to choose as a husband. There are
certain persons. however, of the OPP
posite sex who are almost as good
Judges of mans disposition as those
of his own, and they are his sisters.
A girl can always tell how a man
stands with his sisters, and if they are
really fond of him she may feel sure
that he will make good husband.
A mother, of course always speaks
well of her son; it is not what she says
of him, but his behavior to her, that
is to be looked up.-Honae Journal.

swallowed His Teeth.

Employed on branch of the New
York and New England Railroad is a
man of 35 or 38 years of mortal exper-
fence, who can to-day testify that
none of those years have brought to
him such unprecedented surprises, both
painful and pleasureable, as the last.
In consequence OF the absence of five
prominent teeth, he had made for him
a rubber plate with five artificial teeth
attached, and which worked quite to
his satisfaction. On retiring late one
night in November he forgot TO remove
them from his mouth, as was his habit
and upon Weakening in the morning he
felt that dawning consciousness that
comes upon one so gradually as one
rouses from slumber, that the rubber
plate containing live teeth was not il
its should-be receptacle, the tumbler
of water, neither was it clinging firm
ly to his upper jaw. At the same anx-
ious moment he experienced something
of discomfort in the region of his
throat. and, calling his wife, asked her
to examine the locality, which she did,
and, to her surprise. beheld The retreat
ing form of that self-same pla tie, which
had vainly tried to fit itself to the cav
ity of the throat, but in SO doing had
lodged just too low for her grasp. He
proceeded at once to his physician, and
underwent series of attempts to ex-
tract it, which were unsuccessful. He
was then taken to the Massachusetts
General Hospital, where ali efforts to
extract the teeth proved also of no
avail. Meanwhile, the plate worked
slowly down toward the stomach. The
patient was confined to his house about
ten days, and soon recovered his US
ual strength and spirits and went his
way without experiencing further
trouble from the accident. Various
were the opinions OF the medical world
in regard to what would be the final
upshot of the matter: One doctor
said: "You can not live with that in
your stomach; blood poisoning must
follow" Another said: "1he rubber
will digest; the teeth thus set free you
will rid yourself of, and all may be
we'll" But, to say the least, the pa
TENTS state of mind was but little
eased by any diagnosis pronounced
upon the case by men who thought
they knew all about it. However, af-
ter three months, the teeth finally
emerged IN as perfect condition as on
the day they left the dentists hands.

She Cost Her Weight in Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing at American Flag,
in the Santa Catilina mountains, is
perhaps the only woman who, literally
speaking, ever cost her husband her
weight in gold. 1t is said that in the
early gold-digging days of California
she was a resident of Sonora, in which
state she was born and grew to
womanhood. When about the age of
II paternal uncle, but few years
her senior, returned with his COM
panions, gold laden, from the Ell
Dorado of the west, and became des-
perately enamored of her. He sought
her hand in marriage and was accept
ed, but the church refused, because of
the lear relationship existing between
them, to solemnize the marriage.
Persuasion being in vain, he tried
the power of gold to win the church
his way, and succeeded only by the
payment of her weight in gold. She
at that time weighed III pounds. and
against her in the scales glittering dust
was shoveled. Her affianeed husband
still had sufficient of this worlds
goods to provide a comfortable home,
and they were married. They lived
happily together. and she bore to her
husband eleven children. In the
course of years he died, and she mar
ried again, MIR. Castro being her Sec
ond husband. The above is fact and
not fiction, as living witnesses can
prove.-1ucsOn Star.

Conversation of Women.

In the art of conversation, woman,
If not tho, queen and victor, is the law

one OF bis essays, IL every one re-
called his experience he might find the
best IN the speech of superior women
which was better than song, and
carried ingenuity. character, wise
counsel, and affection as easyil as the
wit with which it was adorned. They
are not only wise themselves; they
make us wise. No one can be a mas
ter in convers alton who has not learn
ed much from women; their presefice
and inspiration are essential to tissue
cess. Steele said of his mistress that
'sto have loved her was liberal edu-
cation" Shenstone gave no bad ac-
count of his influence in his descrip-
ton of the Frenchwoman: 'There is
a quality in which no woman in the
world can compete with her--it is the
power of intellectual irritation. She
will draw wit out OF 4 fool. She
strikes with such address the chords
of self-love that she gives. unexpected
vigor and agility to fancy, and electri-
ties body that appears non electric"

de Stael, by the unanimous consent of
ali who knew her, was the most extra

her time, and it was time full of en-
inent men and women; she knew all dis
tinguished persons in letters or society
in England, Germany and Italy, as
well as in France, though she said,
with characteristic nationality, "Con-
versation, like talent, exists only in
France" Nine. de Stael valued moth

showed her the beautiful Lake Leman,

Wheels Not Made of PuIp.

'.The statement that the most deli
cate watch wheels are now made of
paper pulp in Germany is a hoax, /
think said prominent jeweler and
matchmaker on Broadway to a Mail
md Express representative. Il have
been in the business some forty years
and work on German. Swiss, English,
French and American watches every
week, repairing or taking them apart,
and / have not seen a wheel made of
pulp, not even among the latest
watches from Germany Then from
my knowledge of machinery nee
essary to make a watch and run it for
several years do not think that pulp
by any process whatever can be made
hard enough to be of use. Brass and
steel are chiefly used to make watch
wheels. Platina is too hard to work
and too costly, and gold will not do
for many reasons.
'.Paper buckets and boats are made,
but they have no special friction COM
pared to that of a watchwheel, which
runs in cogs all the time. Suppose
process was discovered to harden pulp
to a degree equal to steel; then the
question is, would it last as long as
steel? l think not. Car wheels are
made of paper, but they run them
merely on exhibition and not every
day. Steel and brass are metals
formed by natural processes during
the course ofmany hundred centuries.
Paper or pulp hardened by artificial
means when not subject to constant
friction may be equal to steel or brass
for certain processes, but imagins its
durability would be uncertain. Hard
wood, of course, can be used for a
time as cog wheels in watches, and
many other temporary tough mate
rails, but they, are simply for exhibit
ton and not utility. So many watches
are made in Switzerland wonder they
have not substituted some cheap ma
terial for steel and brass, but didn't
expect Germany to start at it first.
Indeed, my firm opinion is that 1t is a
mistake about pulp being used even
for big cog wheels, much less small,
delicate ones. "-NeW York Mail and

A Little Matter from Maine.

A farmer of this town, after the
pasturage became poor, turned bis
flock of sheep into the orchard, where
tho grass was heavy and the trees
laden with apples. One old sheep,
with lamb, regularly selected trees.
and IN ways best known to herself
managed to mount upon her hind feet
and to knock off apples. which she and
the lamb ate with great gusto. The
farmer hobbled the forefeet. but the
animal did just as we'll as before in
knocking off apples; the hind feet
were hobbled, but with no better sue
cess, and the last resort was to hobble
one hind and one fore foot, and then
the game was up. She was watched,
and this was seen: The lamb mounted
upon her back, the sheep marched
under the apple tree. and the lamb
knocked off the apples.-BrunsaOick

Female Physicians in England.

few in England, but the select few who

harvest of fees. The two most dis

and DR.. Arabella Kenealy, daughter
of the late DR.. Kenealy. brilliant adj

and lucrative practices, and medical
men of the highest standing, who have
met them in consultation, while

me that they are certainly not inferior
in ability to doctors of the highest
standing of like age and experience.

The Wife's Commandments.

IL am thy wife; thou shalt have
none but me, whom at Gods altar
thou hast sworn to love, protect and
cherish. ..re
u-Ihou shalt not attend places of
amusement, alone or with other gentle
men, but with thy wife; SO she may
also be ''au fait'' as to what Is going
on.
lII.-Thou shalt not encourage
'Woman's Fighters" and other gentle
manly women; for thou knowest well,
their rights are to attend their homes
and families, and let all things pertain
ing to mankind alone-save their
pocket-b0oks.
W.-Thou shalt not complain of
thy wife to third party. Speak
kindly to her in private, so she will
desire to correct her faults. because it
is thy wish and for her good. Neither
shalt thou always be talking of sex
pense" and other disagreeable sub
jects, fer thou spendest far more On
club suppers, etc. than she on neccs-
sites of life. French bonnets, par
example.
V.--Thou shalt not marry lady
whom thou canst not trust with the
management of thy home and children;
and then, thou shalt not interfere in
her kingdom. If thou attemptest it,
she will be justified in donning hat
and coat and taking charge of thy bust
ness.
VI.-Thou shalt not refuse thy wife
"pretty things" Remember, to
dress her beautifully and keep her
true" is part of every Benedict's
duty.
VII.-Thou shalt not be Glossy"
and aufhoritaveve in thy manners to
thy wife. Thou shouldst know, any
proud spirited woman would resent
a command, when she would sacrifice
herself without limit to comply with a
request.
VIII.-Thou shalt not imagine thou
hast monopoly of annoyances and a
patent right on grievances. Thou
shalt consider the many trials to tenn
per and patience, caused by sick chill
dren, inefficient servants, smoking
tlues, bad plumbing and gossiping
neighbors, to which thy wife is con-
stantly exposed, and then thou shalt
not always expect her to be as sweet,
fair, and unruffied as beautiful Eas-
ter Lily. t 4-s..
X.-Thou shalt not neglect to talk
pleasantly and intelligently to thy
wife of the current topics of the day
of the new and good things in Art,
Science and Literature. Let thy con-
versation be an exchange of thought
as well as discussion of feeling, and in
this way, thou shalt educate her to be
an intelligent companion (sharing thy
sentiments, tastes and aspirations)as
well as q wife.
X.-Thou shalt hold thy wife's feel
ing sacred as thine own; remembering
love and kindness is always the ''open
sesame to woman's heart, without
which her life is a dreary thing. Treat
her as thou wouldst wish to be treated
if woman, then will she die blessing

An exchange says: 1t is worth re-
membering that no newspaper is
printed especially for one person any
more than hotel is built especially to
please one guest. People who become
greatly displeased with something
they find in a newspaper, should re-
member that the very thing that dis
pleases them is exactly the thing that
will please somebody who has just as
much interest in the paper as they
have. -
