Obey in the Marriage Ceremony
and What 1t Means.

The word was introduced into the
ceremony by men to express and en-
phasize the view OF men that the man
is the head OF the woman. Indeed,
the'interested inquirer will find that
most ofthe traditional theories ofthe
relations OF the sexes which are often
quoted as indisputable and conclusive
arguments represent merely the views
ofmen. The laws which regulate these
relationship laws OF divorce, of the
rights and control OF property, of the
disposition and care of childrerl-are
the work of men, and simply express
their will. More than a quarter of a
century ago Mr. Gladstone said the
divorce laws in England were a shame
toeivilization and humanity.
The ladies, therefore, who suppose
that these laws and traditions and
ceremonial vows rest upon divine
sanction, and who are consequently
solicltous to wear the yoke of unques-
tlonlngg subiugation, not ofchoice, but
as a religious duty, need bend no long
er tor that reason. # they prefer to
obey, indeed, they are not restrained
by amy religious obligation, nor they
prefer to command. "But," interpos-
es at this point the youthful casuist
OF the other sex, surely exigencies OF
dlfferencearise when there must be a
decisive will, and that, of course, that
will must be the mans" Yes, so
men have generally said, and their
views have generally prevailed. But
the general prevalence OF ignorance
was not a sound argument against
the Introduction Of general education,
and in the republic ofreason andsmat-
rimony, the general assent OF shus-
bands can not conclude the rights OF
epiyeS.

How to Press Autumn Leaves.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: It
is sometimes called the FLORISTS Sc
cret," and is known to few persons.
Take box and place some sand at
the bottom OF it, then take yourleaves
and stand them upright by sticking
the stems into the sand. After this
being done, take sitter and sift dry
sand slowly over the leaves until they
are completely covered. Press this
slightly and set the box aside for a
week or ten days At the end of this
time, empty the box and you will find
the leaves dried and pressed, perfect
in color and shape. The sand presses
them, absorbs the moisture, and does
not injure the color Some flowers
can be pressed in the same manner
very successfully.

TIL g Judge Knew his Father.
From the Atlantic Constitution.

Bob G. tells the funniest thing on
himself. Bob can tell it far better
than | can write it, and you must
imagine wheezy fat man, with
numerous little bitches in his voice,
to appreciate Bob's style. He tells
the story thus:
''When Huff was Mayor, way back
in the long ago, was just about as
wild chap as there was in town. l
got to hitting the red eye pretty heavi-
", and several times [ was called up
before his Honor, who would fine me
SIS or $40. But one time I got on a
big tear, and when l was brought up
next morning knew right away that
Huff was going to swing me.
He looked at me a little, and then be-
gan a lecture, enumerating my sins
on his fingers as he went. 'Bob,' he
began, you are making nuisance OF
yourself. You are getting to be a vag-
abond, and the calm, measured tones
OF his voice took me down consider

citizen. knew your two uncles, and

Horses Kept on Grass.

The American Rural Home.
Farmers learned, a long time ago,
that horses kept up through the sum
mer on hay with a little grain, are
worth a great deal more for service,
and especially to drive on the road,
than if running out to pasture; hence
the number who stable their work
horses increases from year to year.
The following from the National Live
Stock Journal is to the purpose:
"Grass may be the natural
food OF the horse, but he takes to
grain with wonderful readiness. and
if fed nothing but grass, the
whole system is relaxed, and but a.
comparatively small amount OF work
can be endured. Grass is so washy,
and the stomach of the horse is so
small that but a small amount OF nu-
triment is contained in the stomach
when full. The bowels are loose, the
stomach is soon emptied, and the
horse feels weak and faint, in a very
short time, when at work. Thesweat
rolls out almost in streams, and afew
minutes exertion causes him to puff
and blow as if he had been running a
race. He may do we'll if he has
nothing to do but run in the pasture
and fight flies, but he is
not fit to work. He can stand a mod
crate amount, but he does it with
great exertion and corresponding ex-
haustion. If a team is to be worked
regularly, it is better to keep them in
the stable and feed them hay and grain
regularly, with an occasional bite of
grass as q relish and regulator Of
the bowels. This may be mown and
given to them, or tn ey may be permit
ted to run out little while and gather
the grass. This mode of keeping a
team OF horses will pay much better
in work than permitting them to run
to grass. If but a moderate amount
OF work is required, the horses may be
permitted to run in the pasture at
night, but should be put in the stable
during the day, when not at work,
and given hay and grain regularly,
but with discretion. 1t does them no
good to fight flies all day in the pas
ture, but torments and worries them.
The stable may be darkened and vet
kept SO we'll ventilated and airy, if
properly constructed, as to avoid the
annoyance of flies and still p, eserve a
comfortable temperature even more
so than that afforded by the shade OF
a tree"

White Gowns.

Howlnexpensivem aterialscombined
with good taste may make a pretty
girl irresistible is thus indicated by the
Boston Herald: 1t is the day OF
white gowns. They are ubiquitous,
floating about the streets like orna-
mental ghosts, with somebody young
man and q vivid paresol accompany
ing them. The Sunday beaches are so
full OF white gowns they resemble the
fields where white butterflies tiutter in
the whole day long. A girl looks bet
ter IN white thanin any color, but then
freshness is essential to it's booming
ness. 1t is surprising the amount OF
style a natty little woman can put in
to a simple trock that does not cost
her S., all told. One OF these clever
damsels decorated a horse car seat,
and practically illustrated the theory
that taste is a good substitute for
money. Mademoiselle was blessed with
q trim figure to begin with and nature
had further endowed her with COM
plexion that did not suggest fried food
OIL dyspepsia, for it was as fresh as a
rose in tint. Her gown was of some
cheap, white fabric of the cheese
cloth order, but it chung to her little
person in folds that Oscar Wilde would
have approved. Bows of black velvet
defined a section of the corsage, tech
nically called a "vest," and a coarse
straw hat trimmed with a wisp OF the
cloth and some elevated black velvet
bows, sat pertly and not uugracefuliy
on the well arranged couture. Long
tan-colored silk gloves and parasol
OF the same tan hue completed a cos,
tune modelled on ideas for which rich
women pay Redeem hundreds OF
dollars. Save that she dresses in the
low key of expense, her chic attire was
quite equal to those high wrought COM
positions which Mrs. Threestars dis
plays at New York and Saratoga. And
she knew it, the little mink!

Learn How to Grow Old.

After the half century OF years is
completed, men are liable to declaim
about the vanity Of things and to
have a settled distas5e for pursuits
and amusements which occupied ear
lier years. 1t is dangerous time. In
order to find relief such men often
break up the business Yocations OF a
lifetime and seek in new experiments
the glow and ardor which have van
ished with youth. It is a prolific
source of financial failure; often of do
mestic descriptions; sometimes leading
to suicide or madness. Youth and it's
passions are not to be recalled by q
change of locality or of business.
What these people fret about is SIM
ply the departure Of youth. They
have not the philosophy to adjust
themselves to appro aching age and
.serenely await the end, and they
plunge into chimericai business ven
lures and break up homes and seek
new lands in the vain hope of EeviV-
ing a. Gre which can never burn brightly
again. There is not one man in q
dozen with q fixed and ample income
WHO 3CttH Will pdJAcHCS SubullG ullHSel
to the conservative dictates Of age,
and with hooks and friends lead a life
Of innocent leisure The struggle is
always to make sixty beat with the
impulsive NUM- bers of thirty, and that
can never be. The wise man will bow
TO the yoke, and by so doing will
cease to feel it. It is a yoke which all
must wear. save those which the
Greeks declared were blessed Of the
gods because they died young.

POISONED WHISKY.
A Wholesale Dealer Gives Away Secrets
of the Trade

Wholesale Dealer Gives Away Secrets
of the Trade
There is not one saloon in fifty in
this city where you can get a pure
drink OF whisky. l will make it
stronger. Forty-nine out OF every
fifty liquor dealers are selling whisky
which is neither more nor less than
poison. I would not drink it sir. I
would not allow a good dog to drink
it."
This remark was made by a repu-
table wholesale liquor man to a re-
porter OF the press last night. He is
ready, he says, to, substantiate his
statements by proof that cannot be
denied.
You do not mean to say that I
cannot gel good whisky in a fine saloon
where am charged IS cents a CLASP"
inquired q bystander in amazement.
81 will make no distinction between
finesaloons and the sholes in the wall. :
They all handle about the same kind
OF goods. The cheap saloons may
put aittle more water in their whisky,
but 1T contains no more poison than
that which you purchase in the saloon
where oil paintings adorn the walls
and high-priced mirrors set off to an
advantage fancy bar-f xings 1t is all
the same. Fancy saloons must make
plenty Of money in order to meet their
expenses.
"a law should be passed prohibiting
the rectltication that makes five bar
rels Of whisky out Of one. Some
whisky is put through certain pro-
cess whereby a large quantity OF the
fusel Oil is taken out. The whisky is
purchased by rectifers, who will draw
perhaps all out Of a barrel but five
gallons, fill it up with cologne spirits,
a large percentage of which is fusel oil,
and then add drugs togive it the prop
er color and taste. Twas in the rect
flying room Of wholesale house a
few days ago. | saw the compounder
put several ounces of carbolic acid in
a barrel Of stuff he had compounded
and called whisky. This was, he
said, for the purpose OF giving it a
bead, make it sparkle, sharp, biting.
A barrel of this kind of whisky con
taines enough fusel oil to kill half
dozen men. I would just as willingly
take a small dose OF poison as drink a
glass oft. Step into saloon and take
a glass OF this vile stuff and you will
feel the evil results beforeyou cross the
threshold. It.acts directly upon the
brain, and is keenly felt throughout
the system. Men who drink any
amount Of it become wild, lost to
their better Judgment and reason
and are scarcely responsible for what
they do. Besides, they are being
slowly poisoned to death. Young men
are stunted in their vigorous growth,
and the energies OF older men are was
ted. A law which allows men to mix
up poison and sell it simply for the
purpose ofmaking money should be re-
pealed, This whisky often finds it's
way into sick chambers, and the re-
suits can be imagined.
Gan old liquor man stated to me a
short time ago that he could not hold
his trade and handle pure goods, and
in order to meet the demands for
cheap whisky, he had been compelled
to adulterate. These statements /
am ready to prove. Show me a man
who adulterates his whisky and I
will show you one that will not drink
that which he sells to others" Pitts

presume that most women have
studied color effects with sufficient care
to havelearned that colors and COM
blnations to choose for themselves;
nevertheless there are others to whom
the laws Of color are q sealed book.
L know it cost me much trouble and
many costly and sometimes humiliat-
ing experiments to settle that ques-
ton for myself. [ now know that
had some person who understood the
art given ME q few elemental hints
when | was first called upon to select
my own dresses, hats, gloves,
parasols and all the mu!titudious
articles that comprise a woman's
"things" l should have been spared
many an unnecessary pang and pre-
sented a much more harmonious en-
semble than did present during those
first few trying years.
Every woman ought to be taught
that an artist will employ for a bru-
nette brilliant yellows and pronounc.
ed reds. A jonquil- colored ribbon, a
scarlet camelia in the black tresses, a
poppy-colored bodice, toned by Chan
tilly lace, will give dashing character
to the figure so decorated, and instead
of diminishing effect will add to
it new force. But the delicate bru-
nette whose features time had begun
to jade, or a general brunette whose
skin is comparatively fair and whose
eyes are velvety and black must re-
frain from striking colors In this
instance soft colors are demanded, es.
pecially pale blue, because OF all
shades it IS that which approaches
nearest white yet escapes the rawness
Of white.
II a bonds hair be red or golden
it's indispensable Complementary color
is dark violet velvet for the bonnet,
let us say, with tuft of violets in
the hair and the dress of deep lilac.
Those make up perfect combination
and give the wearer a marvel
ously fine appearance. Green OF
medium intensity suits all shades OF
red hair. If the complexion OF the
blonde be fresh and delicate an orange
Turkey or ruby red will set off her
freshness and delicacy, both by SINH
larlty and contrast. Women who
are placed, SO to speak, in the halt
shades OF color may wear choice OF
brunette or blonde necessities with
the proviso (imperatlve) that the
tones be subdued in proportion to
warmth of complexion. For chestnut
hair pure yellow or deep red is ill-suit-
ed; but half-tints, such as pale yellow,
corn, deep yellow, turquoise blue
and hazy blue harmonic exquisite
ly with the neutral character
OF these natural colors. Posses sors

with faint suggestions OF neutral gray,
are also appropriate for the last nam
ed class of women. Black velvet gives
them fairness without destroying or
neutralizing the distinction and deli
cacy which are characteristic Of ashy
compilations. If the ladies OF "the
Household" who need advice on this
subject will do me the honor to give
these hints place in their scrapbooks

Reading.

Every lesson is really a language lesson and should be so regarded by the teacher. However, it must be remembered that our ultimate authority for the use of words IS our English authors. Facility in the use of language can come only from critical study, and the more critical our study of a masterpiece, the greater becomes our admira- tion for it. The beauties, like the beauties of < flower, are best seen under microscope. This commnn- ion with genius is certainly a won derful stimulus to mental activity. Carlyle says the main thing the University did for him was to teach him h0tc to read. This implies CD knowing what to read; @ knowing what has been written by great minds; (3) the deStre to read what Is good, soul in harmony with the souls of the great and noble; (i) the ability to grasp the sense Of an author; (0 the training of the critical faculty, the development of the love of truth and beauty un- til it becomes the eye of the soul How few people knOw hoto 10 reao in this masterly wayl
 Bacon says: Read not to con. trast and confHte, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.
 Samuel Johnson says: Ayollhg g man should read five hours in thC day, and so may acquire great deal of knowledge.
 General principles must be had from books. In conversation you never get system.
 Books that can be held in the hand, and carried to the freside are the best after all.
 Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find informa ton upon 1t. When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do, is 10 know what books have treated of 1t.
