"Why did Methusaleh live 900
years?" Because, my dear, there was
no good reason why he should die.
There was nothing to make him tired
of life. There were no dudes, no poll

schools, no books, no newspapers, no
elections, no baseball clubs, no pic

Wouldn't want to live 900 years now,

In every human being there are
many grains of gold. When one is
down, even by indicretions of his own,
do not stoop to throw additional
mud upon him. Strive rather to
reach him helping hand to extricate
him from the mire in width he is
wallowing. This is true manhood.

Ideal Husband and Wives

1t may be thruthfully said, remarks q
writer in the PittsL urg Dispatch, that
less than one-fourth of the women who
marry know what they are doing. They
have no idea of what their duties are
much less their rights. About all they
know is that they are getting married
Is it any wonder that so many are disap
pointed and wish themselver out Of it?
1t is perfectly right for woman to
have an ideal husband, yet more import
ant that she should have clear and dis
tinct notion of what constitutes an ideal
wife. There's where the trouble lies
They all want ideal husbands, but never
seem to think that men may want idea
wives. Men imagine that a wife will
make them happy, and women think that
all they need to put an end to all then
troubles is to secure a husband. How
sadly both are disappointed. The wife
who expects her husband to make her
happy is foredoomed to disappointment
SO is the man who ex pects the same from
his wife. We make our own happiness
and in so doing make others happy.
Whenever young women begin trying
to fit themselves for wives then new
social era will begin to dawn. There will
be more happy homes, less poverty, fewer
divorces, and better moral atmos phere
There is great deal of room for men tc
improve in the same line. Comparative
ly few of them have definite ideas in re
gard to the home life they expect to live
If they do picture such thing, they fol
low the outlines traced by some SEMI
mental novelist. Il is an impossible sort
of place, which he installs an angel
Nectar takes the place of coffee, and the
bread-plate is filled with lotus.

a New and Wonderful Telenhone


Mr.. j. w. Bonita, of Philadelphia has Sc
cured letters patent for telephone in
which an intermittent or pulsatory cur
rent is employed in the transmission of
speech. An exhibition Of the instrument
was lately given in New York, when Mr..
Bonita said that there were five miles OF
wire between it and the other end. The
conversation was usually begun by him
self to set the tone. He didn't even take
the trouble to stand near the telephone
but lounged easily three or four feet away
and talked as quietly as if the person ad-
dressed were standing beside him. When
the visitors found that they could do it
as easily as the inventor, OF course they
were charmed. Instead OF the customary
"What's that? What? Speak louder. Spell
it," those conversing could talk in whis-
pers if they choose. A watch put near
one end of the line could be heard tick
ing distinctly by the receiver at the other
end. Men became interested fast in that
sort of an instrument.

DEACON BITTERS.
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

Hara Deacon Bittters dwelt and kept the store,
The richest man for many mile OF shore;
In little less than everything deal he,
From meeting houses TO chest or tea;
So dextrous tnerewithal a flint of SKIN,
He could make profit on a >ing'e pin;
t. business strict, to bring the balance true,
He had been known to bite fig in two,
And change board nail for shingie nail,
An that he had he reaGy held for sale,
His house, his tomb, whate'er the law allows,
And he had gladly parted from his spouse,
His one ambition still to get and get,
He would arrest our very ghost mr.
His store looked righteous should the parson
come,
But in q dark back room be peadled rum,
Ann eased Maam Conscience If she eer would

By Christening it with water ere he sold.

And one white neck-cloth all the week days
