rhe FIRST Year of married Life.


In the course Of some excellent advice to
newly married pairs, Mrs Ellen Bliss Hook
CT says, in Good Housekeeping: Before
you came together and made yonr home, YOU
never found too much time TO be with one
another and you naturally felt that such a
lime could never come to you, nor should it,
if you are iudiclous. There is danger,
However, and it is well therefore to look a
little INTO this matter Of home living. SO as
to make it the best means of DEVELOPMENT
in all directions. This is one reason why we
deem the first year Of married life the most
trying one.
we nave known persons naturally bright,
intelligent conyersatioua!ists, capable of
making very attractive homes, degenerate
into the most commonplace sort of people
when established for Themselves There is
10 reason why the young woman, whose
| chief aim and pleasure It has been to make
herself agreeable to her lover, should feel
that when he becomes her husband she is
aOsolVtd from any responsibility to render
herself charming. Even if she is obliged
to prepare three meals day, need she be-
| come mere household machine?
We ale not of those who can enjoy the house
work of family, but We believe it should,
when necessitated b come dgnified and not
cause Of modification to those who choose
t. engage in it. There is no reason why the
young man, who has been sufficiently hap
py IN spending the evenings quietly with
the one woman Of his choice, should, when
once possessed of her as his lifelong compan.
ion, feel that he requires frequent amuse-
ments in which she has no part If the uni
tS of thought and purpose has been freely
and aftectionatrly established, there will be
no jealousy if, occasionally, the club or
lodge cause the husbands absence from
home and the welcome he receives on his
return will be cordial and sincere. But the
majority Of the evenings will be passed in
t1o delights of the new homc,"

While reports come from some quar-
tiers that times are hard and that much
suffering is imminent, from others we
learn that there is no deartil of bread

are packed full and at other points large
quantities of food are stored. Can any
system of distribution be deemed sue
cessful which presents these sharp con-
trasts of starving men and bursting
granaries? The fact is that spectators
and other obstacles come between the

A contemporary thinks it strange
(though we consider it strange that lie
thinks SOY how difficult of conversion
missionaries find Jews all over the
world. A society for the conversion of
Jews has just reported gain Of four
converts aud an expenditure of $55, 427.
Converts at $4,000 apiece are surely
rather dear. Possibly the subscribers
of the $85, 426 may not think them quiz,
worth the ey,-Shreyeport Times.
Probably if the money we're used di-
rectly there would be more success;
lots of people would change their reli-

be better if this money were used to re-
Sieve the distress of those who are al
