Do moi jest with your wife upon n
subject in which there il danger of
wounding her feelings. Remember that
she treasures every word you UTTER
though you never think Of il again, says
the UOmcatic Mopihiy. DO not speak Of
some virtue in another mans wife To re-
mind your own of fault DO not re-
pronch your wife with personal defects,
for, if she has scnsibility, you inilict II
wound difficult To heal. Do not treat
your wife with inattcniion in company.
DO not upbraid her in the presence of II
third person, nor entertain her with
praising the beauty and accomplishments
Of other women. Do not be stern and
silent i'll your house, and remarkable for
sociability elsewhere. Remember that
your wife has ~ much need Of recreation
NJ yourself, and devote II portion, Mt
lcnst, Of your leisure hours to such So
ciciy and nmuscments as she may Join
by so doing you will secure her smiles
and increase her affection. DO not, being
too exact in pccuniary matters, make
your wife feel her dependence upon
bounty. II tends to lessen her dignity
OF character md does not increase her
esteem for you. If she is II sensible
woman she should be acquainted with
your business and know your income,
that she may regulate her household OK
pcnscs accordingly. Do not withhold
this knowledge in order to cover your
own extravaganza. Women have keen
perception. BE sure she will discover
your scllishncss, and, though no word is
spoken, from that moment her respect is
lcssencd and her confidence diminished,
pride wounded, and a thousand, perhaps
unjust, suspicious created. From that
moment is your domestic comfort on the

Heretlity OF MyOpin.
yy;liic.

The question of the hcrcdity Of short.
sightctlness has been carefully sudicd by
ID. Moths in 800 cases occurring in the
young. He concludes that the hereditary
influence is manifest, the families in 219
out Of the 800 cases being afflicted with
the same disease. Hereditary myopia is
far more serious than the acquired form,
from which it is distinguished by its
earlier appearance, more rapid develop
ments, greater severity and by being
more frequently followed by other COM
pications. Myopia is usually transmitted
from the father to the daughter. and
from the mother to the son. Bad n.y.
gienic surroundings are among the causes
that favor its transmission, and if care is
not taken by those in charge of the cdu-
cation Of the young, acquired myopia
will DC transmitted to the children.

PLEASANT ANNIVERSARIES.

Know one wife, says writer in the
Detroit 1rjnRt, who wears her wedding
dress on the evening of her wedding an :
nlversaries, and has done So for nearly
fifteen years. The dress is simply made,
III white, and little alteration has been
needed with change in figure, but
"mothers wedding dress" has become a
sacred memory. 1t brings the mattcr-of-
fact husband and wife into their youth
one day in each year, and ro,scs love and
reverence III the hearts of the children.
Mother always has flowers Oh ,ha, ,iay
and father his button hole rosebud. and
the children don their holiday attire.
Little gifts are given and the evening is
made pleasant with social games and re-
frcshments. Sometimes few friends are
invited in, but more frequently the day
is celebrated by the home circle.

NEW YORK WOMEN OF FASHION.

New York women are, us rule, very
charitable and very industrious. They
have, through the season often fifteen in
vitations for one day. Such life ere
atcs the necessity for order system and
good management, to even meet half
their engagements. There are no lazy
women i'll polite society who are of the
least importance.
The greater number Of New York fash
ionablc women are doing their part in
society honorabiy and well. They bring
UP their daughters carefully. They make
their girls healthy, accomplished and
we'll bred. They tame down the too cxu.
berant spirits, and the New York girl is
model
Perhaps they have not had as good
luck with their sons. Some critic calls
the young man OF fashion 'scliish and
impolitc, either cold and polished
cynic, or - mixture OF the dude and cad"
This is too exaggerated and too absurd.

glttcring prizes, but some of them are.

Why We Arc Right, Handed.

Primitive man, being by nature fight

and his fists, till iii process of time he
added to those early and natural weapons
the further pcrsuasions of club or shil-
lalah. He also fought, rs Darwin has

is undoubtedly the heart. 4 hard blow,

men have used the right hand to fight
with, and have employed the left arm
chiefly to cover the heart and to parry :,
BOW aimed mt that specially vulnerable
region. And when weapons of oiTcnsc
and defence superseded mere fists and
teeth it is the right hand that grasps the
spear and sword, while the left holds
over the heart the shield or bucslcr.
From this simple origin, then, the
whole vast difference of right and left in

first, no doubt, the superiority OF the
right hand was only felt in the manner
of fighting. But that alone gave it IL
distinct pull, and paved the way at last
for the supremacy elsewhere. For when

forth on the subject of women's rights.
1t must however be confessed that the
representatives of the fair sex, who mus

views, were much more inclined to ridi-

White dresses for little girls under
five years are considered most tasteful
when trimmed with feather stitching and
fine tucks.
Tartan shoulder capcs in triple folds
with long square fronts, also triple folded,
are prominent among utility short wraps
for early fall wear.
Louis Qunzc heels will still be worn
by ladies for dress occasions, but for
everyday wear the broad -solcd flat
heelcd shoe is gaining in popularity.
Monkey skin, which, strictly speak.
ing, is nota fur, is again in great favor
for muffs and shoulder capcs. The lat
ter are always completed by Il standing
collar of Persian lynx or seal.
A blouse waist which fits the figure
perfectly has number of fine plaits at
the back, which converge ut the waist,
and also on each side OF the front The
collar and belt are also tucked in fine
rows
Pretty afternoon dresses of cashmere
and camel's hair are made very effective
by the use OF velvet or heavily rcppcd
ribbons, these being more favored for
such decoration than MORE or fancy rib
bons of any sort.
Ladies who arc of sporting turn of
mind and who handle the rcins them
selves are very partial to the triple Car
rick or "four-in-hand" cape. The favor
tic color for it is a dark navy blue, and
turban or small toque of felt OF the same
color is worn with it.
Velvet is likely to reign supreme dur
ing the winter, not the figured and bro
caded varieties, but the plain, rich ma
terial from the looms of Lyons, and it
will be utilized for entire costumes and
elegant wraps, as well ms for combina-
tons and accessories.
A new style of shoe is made now in
white patent leather with black toe caps,
and vice versa. They require TO be
