A Model Wife.

Jones was well aware that his wife
was in the habit of ritling his peck
cts when he was asleep, but, like a
wise man he kept silent on the sub
ject. One night, however, he woke
up and caught her in the act.
Hal" he exclaimed, "what are
you doing. my DEAR"
The lady started, her cheeks flush
ed. the pantaloOns dropped from her
grasp, and she was about to make
full confession when bright idea en-
tered her head. Recovering her
composure, she said;
81 was looking to see whether
your pantaIoons needed any but
tons"
"They do, they do, my DEAR" he
exclaimed, springing from bed,
needed 'em for weeks, months, and |
wondered why you didn't sew 'em
on, but | waited, for | was sure you
would get to it some time. And
how kind of you to get out Of bed at
this time Of night to attend to 'ea Z.
Say what you will, there's nothing
in the world like a good wife. Let
me turn up the gas little SOS you'll
have all the light you want in sew
ing 'em on. Get your needle and
thread and the buttons? No. Well,
tell me where they are and I'll get
'em for you"
Mrs. Jones proceeded to sew on the
buttons while her husband sat on
the side of the bed and encouraged
her with words of praise for her
wifely care and thought for his com
tort, occasionally remarking that to
90 where he would he would always
say there was nothing in the world
like a good wife.
The he went to the wardrobe and
brought out several pairs of pants, a
coat, two or three vests, and num-
Der of shirts, from all of which but
lOiIS WeIS lhlooiuSS anu SllSClluIlS W.
served:
"While we are at it We'll make a
night of it,"
Two hours later, when Mrs. Jones
with a weary sigh, removed her
thimble from her finger, Jones pat
ted her on the cheek and said:
II say it again, my dear, say it
again, that wherever ! go | will
make it known. proclaim ii from the
housetops, shout it in the highways
and the byways that wife who gets
up in the middle of the night to sew
buttons on her husbands clothes is
a priceless treasure, crown to
her husband, and an ornament to her
SEX"
Then Mr.. Jones chuckled to him
self, lay calmly down and slept the
sleep of the just.-BOStOn Courier.

A Smart Scheme.

Two darkies had to carry large
desk to the house of DR.. Blister, who
had bought it at a furniture store.
When they arrived with the desk he
was in and directed them where to
put it. The darkics expected to get
a quarter apiece at least for their ex-
ira trouble, but alas the doctor did
not give them anything at all. He
forgot all about their sufferings i'm
carrying the heavy desk up two flights
of stairs.
They consulted together for a mo-
ment in the hall, and then they began
to fight and pound each other, calling
each other all manner Of vile names.
No such uprOar had been heard since
the adjournment of the Legislature.
DIR. Blister hearing the noise, came
out and wanted to know what was
the cause Of the disturbance.
"Dis heah nigga KEEP for hisself de
money what you guy him for us bofe
for totin' de desk up de stars" said
Sam.
"You is liar. De doctor didn't
glib me de money. You got de mon
ey and KEEP it," retorted jim.
"YOu are both wrong, boys" said
DR.. Blister, 81 didn't give either Of
you anything, but I'll make it all
right. Don't fight any more" and
taking his pocket. book out he gave
them quarter each,

How they Vote in Germany.

A striking feature of the German
municipal system is its entire indie
pendence of national politics. No
issue but those rising out of NUM-
cipal questions are allowed TO IN
fiuence the city elections. Every
male inhabitant twenty four years
of age has right to vote on NUM-
cipal questions provided he has his
own household and is not dependent
upon father or mother; that he has
not received aims from the public
funds within twelve years that he
has paid all munical dues that he
occupies house or pursues a trade
with two employees that he pays an
income tax or class tax. Under
one or another of these five cOndi-
tions all industrious persons are in
Cluded. That all votes should count
equally is regarded as unbu5ness
like. The arrangement adopted to
meet this point of view is this: Vo-
tiers are divided into three classes,
each of which elect One-third of the
city council. To the first class are
assigned so many of the largest tax
payers as pay One.third of the taxes
assessed ; to the second so many as in
aggregate pay the second third of the
taxes; to the third class belong all
not included in the first and second.
Each of the three classes elects forty.
two members of council, its influence
upon questions of finance being kept
in strict equality with its tax pay
ments, The city council of Berlin
has long been conspicuous for the
educational and financial standing of
its members. Election to it is &C.
counted an honor to which the ablest
men of the city aspire.

any medicine that l ever handled. In one
case the constable for the precinct has
been very sick and low spirited for a long
time. For several years he has tried all
the doctors here, and we have some good
ones, and they did him no good. After
much persuasion | sold him two bottles
of PERUNA and MANALIN. He took half
of the medicine. l could see a great
change in him, and now he is as sound a
man apparently as there is in this vicinity,
and he says he is entirely well. He is
a number one man and is highly re-
spected He is satisfied that your medi-
cine saved his life, after all the doctors and
all medicines had failed. Being unac-
quainted with you, l refer you to John

A LaWyers's Ruse.

They tell good story of a lawyer
of Wooster, Ohio. A client charged
with stealing hog admitted his guilt
to his counsel. The latter was noted
for his honesty in private life. After
thinking the matter over. he said /:
"John, cut that hog exactly in half,
and bring one half to me-" John
obeyed. The evidence for the prose.
cution was weak, and when the coun-
sci for the defense arose he won the
case by saying to the jury: "Gentle.
men, l can hold up my hand to
Heaven and say that the defendant
has no more of that hog than l have"

IL has beon charged that Mr.. Hig-

of the type long famous in connection
with Baltimores peculiar politics, and
that he has taken an active part in
most of the malodorous intrigues through
which OF late years Maryland has
been kept in the democratic column, re-
gardless Of how bor people voted. IL has
been intimated that ho has been In tho
past more than familiar with the complex
mysteries Of divers games Of chance, and
in various other particulars it is related
that he is git thar sort O. person" who
has not always inquired too closely into
the character Of the paths by which he
has attained his objects. But all this, II
seems to us, renders him arc preventative
democrat, and decidedly ht person for

The reform element cuts n wide swath
just now, but true unAdulterated democ.
racy Of the type that cares not fR's value
for reform, but docs caro- intensely for the
Offices, must be allowed to get in its work
