Text: Husbands love your wives"
]. Never find fault with her before others.
2. Per contra, remember the counsel of the
good book: "Her husband shall praise her in
the gates" that is, before folks.
8. Bear all the burdens for her, even then
she'll bear more than you in spite Of you.
4. If you want her to submit to your judg-
ment, never ask her to submit to your selfish
ness.
5. A woman's life is made up of little
things. Make her life happy by little cour-
tesies
6. Love is wife's wages Don't scrinp in
your pay.-Herald Of Health

compare with that Of England for salubrity. "

"Why, now, our climate is one Of the prin
cipal things we pride ourselves upon. We
have all kinds to suit-trigid, temperate, tor

early"
"Die earlyf'
"Yes, sir, and especially your business
men"
''And don't You know the reasoni Is it to

Public spirited, patriotic and unselfish, they
die early, sir, to make room for the rising

I've but pencil, as you see,
A leaf from Harry's diary torn,

And feel a little bit forlorn.

These last two hours My times my own;
But. Helen, dear, how strange men are!

And yet 1t somehow seems like years
Since all the kisses and good-bys.

You always used to say, you know,
Women were different from men
All, yes, indeedI find it so.
Most Of my dreams seem disarranged;
OF course, I'm happy-only life
Looks altered now-the world is changed;
can't believe I'm Harry's wife
And yet know 1 am, for here

Presidential Trains.

I'VE don't like presidential trains"
said railroad man. "Why?" "For
several reasons. They are very expen-
sive. The best cars, the most compe-
tent train men are employed. The pres
ident seldom is aware Of the fact that
his train is guarded by detectives, but
we have our secret service men there,
just the same. Every other train must
keep out of the way Of the presidents
train. Fast freights that usually run
within ten minutes Of ordinary passen.
ger trains are not allowed to be within
thirty minutes Of the presidents special.
You can see, it costs considerable to
side track a train for thirty minutes.
Passenger trains must take the siding
and mail trains lay by. In the case Of
mail trains, we are under heavy bond to
make a certain time, and just imagine
how mail car must run to make up
time lost on side tracks. Bridges must
be guarded and inspected, and nothing
left undone that will insure the abso-
lutely safe passage Of the presidential
party. Then the strain on every man
employed is severe. We always feel
greatly relieved when the presidential
train leaves our division, and the fell
lows on the next division or the other
road have to do the sweating. You
never heard of a presidential train being
wrecked, did your-Indianapolis News.

WHERE LADY FlRgMeN EL6IRIsH.
Enlisted In the Service to Give Other
WOman Courara

Enlisted In the Service to Give Other
Women Courage.
The lady members of the fire brigade
in Paris, who are the lions of the hour,
are young English girls-the Misses
Mortimer, Nichols, Bessell, Pritchard
and Jeffs-who have come over with the
delegates of the English fire brigades.
They are all Londoners I had this
evening talk with the whole party.
Maj. Heath told me that to Miss Nor
timer the honor was due of taking the
first step. Mr.. Louis suggested it to her.
After a great fire he said to her that
there was really no more danger in get
ting out of high window than out of
one on the first floor If there were nerve
and a cool determination to hold on to
the rope or ladder. The peril lay, he
said, in furry and want of pluck. Were
some plucky girls to show women how
easy it is to make descents from top
windows, the victims from fire would
not be SO many. Miss Mortimer conse-
quently tried. All the girls began with
perilous descents, and were not trained
gradually to make their plunges down
life saving canvases. They have learned
to go up ropes and ladders as well as
down.
While we talked the young ladies, who
were in ordinary clothes, were reminded
that they had very lttlo time to dress
for soiree in the Aven le de Wagram,
where the prefect of pol re and his fire
brigade staff were to meet the congress.
After the soiree they were to be taken
to the Ell Dorado, where 600 places had
been engaged for the delegates of France
and the foreign nations represented here.
I remained to see them in their cos
tunes, and talked meanwhile with Maj.
Heath. He told me that Nine. Carnot
had invited the girls to Fontainebleau,
and that the president at the general re-
view on Sunday was to see them at
work. Every one, he said, treated them
! with respect and sympathy. The OBJ
jects of the firemen's congress were to
make known the best means of prevent
ing and putting out fires, and to make
insurance companies bear great part
of the expense of keeping up efficient
fire brigades, and provide for men
MANNED in trying to extinguish fires in
insured houses.
Resolutions to this effect having been
carried, the young ladies came back
dressed in their uniforms. They had
red silk caps, dark blue short skirts, not
descending below the calf, soft leather
boots, neat bodices. with broad brass
buttons, and turned up with red at the
neck and cuffs.-London News.

his young bosses at last. He belonged to

Believes in Witches.

Samuel Armstrong, of Wapello, SO
years old and possessed of $3.50, 900, is in
sane and at times SO violent that it be-
comes necessary to confine him. His
history has some queer features. For
many years he was prominent and sue
cessful contractor in Cincinnati, where
he accumulated money and invested it
in real estate in that vicinity. His larg-
est holdings lay in Avondale, Greenville
and Columbia, o., and they have become
very valuable. About a score of years
ago, as he was driving away from the
place, man who was trespassing hurled
a heavy stone at him. The missile struck
him in the back of the head, and from
that time on he began to lose his mind.
While this infrmity was coming on,
and before it had proceeded so far as to
call for interference in his behalf, he was
induced to transfer his Avondale estate
to an unprincipled man, who, it is said,
did not render him the slightest compen.
sation for it. Litigation followed, and
the sale was set aside.
Some time after this Greenville man
was appointed his guardian. The Avon
dale property was sold for 100000. The
rest of his property is still untouched.
Armstrong was never married. His only
heirs are his nephews and nieces, chill
dren of his sister, and nearly all of them
live in Louisa county, not far from Wa
pello. Several years ago he was brought
there and since then has made his home
with his niece and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. s. J. Paris. He is subject to several
harassing delusions, principal among
which is firm belief in witches. He
sees them come into his room through
small openings, such as keyholes, and is
greatly bothered by them in various
ways. He keeps the crevices in his room
closely stopped and wears straps around
his ankles to keep the witches from
crawling up the legs of his pants.-Chi-

Amilcare Cipriani,

The most striking figure, physically
speaking, at the recent workingmen's
congress in Paris was that of Amilcare
Cipriani. Cipriani was born at Rimini
in 1914. Nominally he is a journalist;
actually he is fighter. A Socialist since
he was 10 years old, he has for thirty
years fought and suffered. Twice he
has been condemned to death; once to
New Caledonia for life--actually ten
years; to twenty five years hard labor in
Italy-actually eight Chained to log).
He was delivered from this last by the
persistence of the Italian people, who
nine times elected him deputy. To de-
fend his people against the triple al
lance of Russia, Germany, Austria on
the one hand, and against Boulangism
on the other, Cipriani has started q uni
versal federation of the people-a move
ment that has already spread widely in
Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. He
is giant in physique, but with beau
tiful tenderness of manner. His eyes,
hair and beard are black, and the two
last are grazing here and there. He
speaks French perfectly and with great
energy and fre.-London Star.

by feeling for them with their feet, until

was sounded dive followed, and the

Tracy and it is likely that action Of some

ficers are borne on the active list OF the

for the past eight or ten years. During
their career in the navy they have been
unemployed, one fifteen years and three
months and the other eleven years and
six months. Although Commander
Smith stands No. II on the list Of COM
manders he has had no sea service since
1875, and Commander Smith was last at
sea in July, 1875. The present intention
is toshortly order these officers before a
board to determine their fitness to per-
form duty at sea.
