The Wife as q Finarcier.

What, after all, is a better measure of bust
ness capability and trustworthiness than the
accomplishment of the greatest result with
the means at hand and the doing of this with
unvarying SUGGEST This is the test, and
women bear a trial by it with remarkable
results Their achievements of this character
are unhcralded and unknown 10 the public,
but we frequently hear of them privately or
have an opportunity to observe them. Per
hapS the reader knows of some meek, plod-
ding. industrious housewife who is trying to
make her family reach the end OF the year
with only small income at command, and to
keep out of debt while . the mouths are fed,
all the bodies clothed, the rooms kept warm
and all dues are paid. Here Is the great
financier! What is a young Napoleon Of
Wall street compared with this woman! he
was fOredoomed to failure when he set out
on his career; she never swerveS from the
straight course that leads to triumph. he
drops down and out, miserable financial
wreck, yet Landed for business ability that
he has not shown; while she gets not so much
as a line in newspaper, the public does not
talk about her, and her achievement may be
unknown in her own neiGhOOrhOOd.
We say that the housewife who does this is
the great financier. She saves a home for
the thrftless, perhaps crippled or diseased,
husband and the growing children, and they
get food and clothing and Lgnt and heat and
good beds to sleep i'll, almost is il they had
been created out of nothing. 1t is the house
wife who gets hundred dollars worth Of re-
suits when you could not reasonably expect
her 10 set more than seventy-tivc dollars
worth, who is entitled to our praise aid our
admiration for her business ability. Women
do business and Go it we'll when they voiUn-
tarily enter business lie, or when time and
circumstances thrust it upon them; and the
planning housewife who pulls her family
through the year and pays ali LIS heaven
hardly knows how, has douca feaC OK iinan-
ciering more difficult than the treasurer Of
an empire may be able to do.-Good House
keeping.

The Secret of Happiness.

Thomas jefferson wrote the following OK
celleut advice. There is great deal Of hui
man nature and good sense in it: Harmony
in the married state is the first thing to DO
arrived at Nothing can preserve the affec
tioas uninterrupted but a firm resolution
never to differ in will, and a determination
in each to consider the love of the other OF
more value than any object whatever on
which the wish had been fixed. How light,
in fact, is the sacrifice OF any other wish when
weighed against the affections of ono
with whom we are 10 pass our Whole life.
And no opposition i'll single instance will
hardly IN itself produce alienation, yeS every
one has bis pouch Into which all these little
oppositions are put, and while this is filling,
the alienation is inSensibly going or, and
when filed it is complete. 1t would puzzle
either to say why, because no one difference
of opinion has been marked enough to pro-
duce a serious effect by itself. But he OF she
finds his o. her affections wearied out by q
consUaC. stream of little checks and OBJ
St2cleS.
Other sources OF discomfort, very common
indeed, are the little cross purposes of hr,s-
band and wife in common conversation, a
disposition in either to criticise and question
whatever the other says; desire always to
demonstrate and make him feel himself in
the wrong, especially in sympathy. Nothing
is so goading on the part of either Much
better, therefore, if our companion views a
thing in a light different from W hat we do,
to leave him in quiet possession of his view.
What is the use of Tectifying him if the thing
be uuimportant? and if important, let it pass
for the present and wait for softer moment
and more ,couciliatoTE occasion of reYisins

Comfort for the Sick.

To the inmate of a sick room frequent
changes in the position of the furniture are al
most always pleasant Change the pictures,
too. Bring pictures from the other rooms and
hang them on her walls in place OF those she
has looked at so long. One of the pleasant
est things that ever was done for me during
an illness owed TO the thoughtfulness of
neighbor, lady now prominent in literary
circles. She owned many very fine engrav-
ings, beautifully framed. These she brought
to my room, one every Sunday, leaving it on
my table or mantel for a week and taking
away the one she had brought the week be
fore. When l tried once to express the pleas
ure this kindness gave me, she answered me:
II am glad; but it is such little thing for
me to do"
All! but l have learned that it is the things
that are 80 little to do that most please and
cheer those who are shut in" have seen
a sick one moved almost to tears by the gift
of single fresh maple leaf, idly plucked
from roadside tree on friends way to the
sick room.
Said a lady, the other day, in my presence,
speaking of neighbour who has been an in
valid for years:
II wanted to carry something to Helen to-
day, but everything have is so common"
Dear friends, let lis not wait for uncommon
things. Let us remember in how great meas
ure it is the common things, the dear common
things of life, from which these sufferers 's'e
SO sadly shut in. Carry your friend sod of
violets; placed in a shallow bowl where they
can be freely watered, they will grow and
blossom III her window for days and days.
Carry one of your blossoming house plants
and leave it there q week. Carry your
canary and let him sing there. Send her
your photograph album, your scrap book,
your box of Stereographs, some dreary Win
ter day. Carry your precious silk quilt or
your new afghan, and let it lie awhile on her
bed or lounge. Even though she has one
equally pretty, yours viii be different
something new to look at.-Nelly Browne in
Good Housekeeping.

a little fellow of five years of age was do
ing something which his father dIsapproved
My son, you must not do that, said his
father
1t happened to be something which the
child wanted to do, and for an instant be hes
itated as if questioning what would be the
consequence if he persisted, Finally his bet
ter self triumphed, and he replied: AL bright,

Perhaps most of us would think that was
all there was to be said about it, and so the
father thought; but the little fellow evil

Something About Spoiled Children

The worst injury any parent can inict on
society is to pet and spoil their children in
such a way that when they grow up the
world will regret that theytlid not die in in
fancy. A mother allows her boy TO answer
her back" and treat her rudely. Years after
she has gone to her account another person
will reap the bitter harvest of her weakness.
The spoiled son will have to take to himself q
wife, whom he treats in the same rude manner
that he was permitted to adopt toward his
mother. A spoiled boy may possibly become
a worthy, religious man, but the effect of his
having been spoiled will be seen in the large
amount of dross that will overlie the gold.
He will be i'll hammered, overbearinC, selfish.
and generally disagreaable Mothers! you
can prevent this. When a boy is given to you
accept him not as a plaything merely, but as
q most sacred trust-a talent to be put to the
best account. Train him to be pure, truth
full unselfish, Independent. Teach him to
hate cruelty, to take the part of the weak
to recognize the special gentlereSs and re-
spectful consideration due to a woman, par
ticularly to his mother and sisters. In this
way you may prevent your pets from ever
becoming peste.-"FIve Talents Of Woman"

the new. When the frayed part is the front
OF the coat it is best to join the braid in the
notch of the lapel, carrying it down the front,
turning the corner or curve at bottom of
coat, and finishing about three inches from

good plan to cut the braid, but ripping off
the old, rebind the sleeve all around. Re
move any stains on coats by rubbing with a
soft cloth dipped in ammonia, afterward rims

more especially if the coat is inclined to lose

here presented for the profitable in

1t is to be regretted that the city IS
not in better condition to care for the
visitors in the matter of hotel ac ;om-
modations. 1t may give the t,wn a
black eye when we tell the changers
that if they have their blaD Gets and
bring along places in which to spread
them, they may sleep Comfortably ;
and that they nesd not sg fer for food ii
they can wait until the guests of the
crowded hotels have finished their
meals. 1t may hast en- the departure
of some OF our visit ors when they learn
that from earlJ spring 1ntil late
autumn our hotels are crowded, and
the preprietors are compelled to hire
all the rooms they can in private
houses to accommodate their guests
and that, Notwithstanding this con-
ditIon of things, we haven't the enter
Prise to erect other hostelries. 1t may
discourage these men 80 learn of these
things, but let US hope otherwise !;
let Us rather hePe that it will
encourage some of item to do what
some Of our citizens should have done
build q large, fret class hotel, and
make money init. Let us hope that
some If OUT visitors will teach US what
common sense sheuld have taught US
long ago, that capital can be profitabIy
invested in building hotels fora city
which is crowded with tourists and
strangers the year round.
We will do tho very best we can for
the accommodation of our coming
guests; and after doing all we can for
them, We will Gsk them not to be
offended with our poor entertainment.
And then if the thing does not suggest
itself TO theR-as it probably will do
We may ask them to put US up a hotel
such as they have in ali of tbs cities
from which they will hail, at the same
time assuring them of full and paying
patronage.

TREsGoVERNM ENr BUILDING.

Postmaster Barratt asks for informa-
$ion through this mornings HERALD
The supervising architect of the Trea-
sury is interesting himself il the
government building scheme for this
city, and he goes about the business in
a businesalike way. He naturally ex-
poets that the building will be placed
in the central part of the city, as is the
il other cities, where it will be most
convenient to the people. He also ex-
poets the government will pay for the
land, as it did in San Francisco, Ben
yer, New York, Chicago, Omaha, and
in fact in every city where it has erected
a public building for the accom-
mediation of it's own business. The
architect, therefore, asks information
concerning the probable cost of sxit-
able site in the heart of the city, not
on spitol Hill, east bench, over Jor-
dan or in any of the numerous add
tons. The postmaster limits the dis
trict to the eight blocks bounded by
South Temple and Fourth South and
West Temple and FRS East. Now, If
the city is anxious to give the govern
nent something which the government
K abundantly able to pay for and which
it expects to buy at fair price. the
can sell it's Arsenal Block.
at the head of East Temple street, and
with sonae of the proceeds purchase a
ten by ten rods corner within the
district designated by Mt. Bsrratt. It
may as we'll be remarked here, however +,
that the tender of the site will net in
the least hasten the appropriation for
the building. The tender is to be naade
to tie gov eminent and not to Congress
men.
The HERALD is growing hopeful in
this matter, of q government building.
It begins tOsSssume a position among
the probabilities. If the owners OF
corner lots do not conspire and CON-
oine to charge boom prices, snd thereby
righten the congressman who done
