The Eclectic for March presents an
interesting array of articles, light and
serious, and is well adapted to suit
a variety of tastes. 4From Siberia TO
Switzerland" by William SWitzer-
land by William Westall, sketches in
Il most Interesting way the adventures
of an escape from Siberia, and claims
to be the actual experience of a promi-
nent Nihilist. Principal Tulloch's
study OF the Spiritual Influence OF
COleridge is a very suggestive paper,
and Max Muller on The Savage" will
be found both instructive and enter
tanning. The story of The Picture
is both unique and powerful. Other
contributions of special interest are
Della CruSca and Anna Matilda" "a
history of a curious literary episode
"Charles Dickens at Home" by his
eldest Daughter, prince Bismarck's
Character" Notes ON Persian Art"
"How Insects Breath and go to the
Ant the latter a striking popular
science-paper. The usual variety of
Literary Notes, Foreign Literary
Notes, and Miscellany, round out a
very attractive number.

stIngy and Rude.

One OF the magazines discusses the
way some husbands treat their wives
and do not think they are at all I'M
kind in so doing. So the writer gives
conversation which he says actually
occurred tEA eA 80 81 =
"John, dear, hate TO speak to you
about it, but have put off till can't
put off any longer"
well, what Is Il asoao Come, out
with it"t
John, dear, don't look so cross; it
really frightens me-"
"What are you up to this time
Some more grimcracks?"
"No, my dear, must have pair of
shoes. took dreadful cold yeste-~
day from getting my feet wet"
well how much Is 1t? Five hun
dred dollars p
~ can get a pair for three dollars
What do you get such miserable
trash for The soles are nothing but
paper"
"H You are willing John, can get a
splendid pair for six dollars and they
are great deal easier"
@Well, there are $3.50, make him
throw off ten cents"
Now says the writer, "This is more
exasperating than the violence of a
drunken brute" But we will hope
such conversations between man and
wife are not common. There are few
wives who, if they are told candidly
their husbands income, but will man
age to live within it. But if they are
not told, and have to come to their
husbands for every cent of money
they want for themselves and children
it puts the wife in a false position and
is sure to weaken love. A woman
that cannot respect her husband, is not
likely to die with grief when he de-
parts. The way to act, according to
our magazine writer is, for the hus-
band to put all the money he can
spare for the week or month in a
drawer, of which he has one key and
the wife another; and she a0W make
that money hold out if he be only
honest with her. The man that is
stingy with his wife and rude does not
deserve to have a WIFE

Served Her Right,
Every Other Saturday.

4 letter from London speaks in
harsh terms of the Prince of Wales
treatment of women, and asserts that
he is, in this regard, simply brute"
Among the proofs of this is mention
ed the fact that the celebrated
American beauty, Miss Chamberlaine,
who had become notorious for moving
about after the Prince, was seated next
to him at a supper at ball and said,
ain the merest fun Jumbo, you eat
too much That was enough. Only
the moment before, on terms OF that
familiar intimacy which any man
might be glad to be with a young and
pretty girl, he turned his shoulder to
her without reply, and from that on,
as far as he was concerned, the famous
Miss Chamberlain was incontinently
dropped. After that there wasn't
anything left but for her father and
mother to take her home" We
should think So and she had better
be kept there till she learns how 30
behave.
