Getting to BE the Rule.

Do you notice that nowadays this is getting
to be the rules Tho rich are marrying the
rich and the poor arc making matches among
the poor. The sudden increase of wealth and
aping of English rules of caste are frighten-
ing young men out of the old chivalrous
spirit, when the humble fellow claimed the
girl of his heart and deficd the world to rob
him of her. Do you think the girls are learn
ing wisdom and won't look at poor men any
more. That shows how little you know of
fcmininity. Where the heart is the brain is
not, and girls are just rs big geese as ever in
love matters or course there are some wise
ones, who coldly determine to marry a car
riage, a maid and thirty dresses year, but
don't like wise girls; don't see any woods full
of them anywhere, and would not wager a
pound Of French mixed that their wisdom
would stand much of a test if the right young
man happened along and courted them with
the force and ardor of hurricane, as any
right minded girl likes to be courted.-Clara
Bellies Letter.

Girls Co-opcrauvc Society.

A cooperative society of more than ordin-
airy merit and success has been in existence
for two years on the Pacific coast. 1t is
called the San Francisco Girls union, and
was organized in June of 1884. The member
ship, which at first was small, has increased
rapidly, and it now amounts to a little over
400. The membership is of two classes, sus-
tanning and beneficiary, dues for both sorts
being So a year. The beneficiary class are
entitled to a home while out of employment
and a small sum to help them in fitting them
selves for employment. The society also uses
every effort to help them in finding work.
The other class is only entitled to the privi-
lege of the union classes. But this is no small
thing when it is known that there is train
ing school attached to the union, and no girl
is ever sent out with its aid and recommended
ton until it is ascertained that she is
thoroughly competent in her special depart
ment. In this school the girls instructed
in skilled nursing, domestic service and sew
ing. 1t has in the last year and half trained
and found places for $40 girls Associations
of women for their mutual benefit and as
sistance are spring up all over the country,
but this one in San Francisco seems to be the
most practical and business like of any that
the public has heard of.-New York World

The Wife's Pockct-NIoney.

Most wives and mothers honestly earn all
they spend. A woman who does her duty as
q wife and mother earns more than money
can pay for. 1t must be very humiliating to
a woman TO have to humbly and trcmbingly
ask her husband for the money she must have
for her actual daily expenses. Any sensitive,
womanly woman must feel it something of n
degradation to have to thus ask, or even coax,
for money given grudgingly and complain
ingly at last.
knew of a woman who said once that the
only way she could get money from her hus-
band for other than her actual household ex-
penses, was by watching her chance and slyly
extracting bills from his purse when he was
asleep or his coat was Off, Imagine n wife
forced to such a degrading act rs that! Wo-
men are often compelled to practice mean,
niggarsily, cruel economy in order to mako
their expenses come within the limit fixed by
memorable husbands, who would furiously re-
sent any Interference with their own expendi-
lures.
l believe that this simple question of the
wife's allowance has wrecked the happiness of
many n household. Men are so often blind
and unfeeling and unreasonable in this mat
ter. And of course there are women who
must have n tight rein kept upon them be-
cause of their tendency to willful and woful
extravaganza There is, fear, little chance
for happiness in n home having such n mis-
tress over it. But the majority of women can
safely be trusted. Let the husbands of wives
thus worthy trust them, and this trust will
not often be abused
My own personal experience has been that
money is safer with women than with men.
Most women can beat n man "all to pieces"
making a bargain, and the marketmen and
grocers seldom get ahead of them, whereas
most men are careless purchasers. - Zenas
Dane in Good Housekeeping.

A DEMoNIACS DIED.
How a Husband. CFnxcd BY Drink,
Devastated His EIonic and Ruin-
ed His Wife.

ed His Wife.
Mr. F. t. Wilton, living on Twelf. h street
New York, was quite active in the recent
political campaign, so much so that OF one
time his strength gave way. In order TO re-
cruit his energies he drank freely of liquor,
although no was not IL the habit Of doing So.
Under the effects of the liquor he became
crazed, went home to his wife, began Gbus-
ing her, and when she protested struck her
a terrible blow from the effects of which,
combined with the fall, she had Just died.
The agony which Mr.. Wilton now endures
is something fearful, but it is q burden he
will be compelled to carry the rest of his life
He felt weak and exhausted" and re-
quired something " stimulating He had
no energy" He was IAN tired out" and
needed something "bracing." And there
is Just where Mr.. Wilton made his mis-
take. He took the wrong kind of q
stimulant. He required strengthening, as
every one does at certain tiIdes (the body is
so constituted that this is an absolute neces-
sity), but there is great difference between
strengtheners and intoxicants medicine
that srouses the life, causes good digestion,
makes pure blood and brings heath and
vigor, is n great blessing. An mtOxicant
that inflames the blood, Skaters the nerves,
confuses the brain and ruins the strength,
in the greatest of all evils.
But a good Notwithstanding stimulapt is
one of the rarest of all things. Tea or coffee
arc stimulants, but they injure tho nerves.
A combination of nerve-builliug, muscle
making and blood-producing Ingredients is
as rare as it is valuable, but it has certainly
been discovered and applied il the wonder
full Volina Cordial. 1t is n preparation con-
tanning vegetable elements, which, when
taken into the circulation, builds up the
waste elements, drives out all Impurities and
establishes health and vigor in place of des-
pondency and disease. Volina Cordial
Strengthens and nourishes; liquor inflames
the blood. Voiina Cordial gives strength
and vigor; liquor brings weakness and de-
bility.
The almost universal demand for slim
ulants is appalling. 1t is the source of most
drunkenness, and the evils that follow in its
train are enormous. If people would only
keep in vigorous state all the time, or
revive themselves with a healthful, not in
toxicating stimulant when exhausted, much,
If not most of the trouble in life could
be avoided. Try Volina Cordial.
