nature, and it is right. If you ask
married lady how she captured her
husband she will tell you she does NOT
know, and probably all that he can
tell is that it was her winning ways.
1t is OF little consequence how they
were brought together so that the
attraction was mutual. II the real
man and the real woman we're the
attractive features it were well; but il
beauty, dress, or fortune attracted
them, their happiness is farm from
being assured.
A mans heart is ensnared by q
pretty hand, nice teeth, a round, low
voice, frank eyes, beautiful hair; by
the way a girl walks, talks, plays,
rides; by her gifts, her smiles, her am
liability, good taste, generosity, or the
manner in which she greets. .fascinates,
or abuses him. She may not know
how she won him, but ii she doesn't
know how to keep him the best thing
for her to do is to find out. There are
many things we know by intuition;
the rest have to he learned by expert
ence. Conscious OF her abilities and
liabilities as a wife, wise woman will
learn to keep a husband Just as she
learns how to keep house.
Men are susceptible even more so
than women.
There is this difference: The average
man inquiries whether he is i'm condi-
ton to marry. The average woman
doesn't. II the man pleases her fancy
sine is satisfied. She may not be able
to play any part in the new drama
except to hangupOn his neck and coax
to bs letted. Such wife rs n burden
to any man. She doesn't understand
him, neither does she know the chief
constituents of a home.
The wife who takes an interest in
her home, in her husbands affairs,
and finds pleasure in contributing to
his comfort and happiness is a treas
ure of greater value than a gold mine.
The wife who has no higher ambition
than to he kept alive is poor invest
ment.
The average man has very little use
for n smart woman. She is full of
schemes, and is ambitious to shine.
Her disposition is anything but do
mestic, and she is not the most genial
for man whose mind is
taken up with business affairs. lie
doesn't care how intelligent she is, but
he hasn't much use for her if she is
smart.
Men like to he looked up at depended
on, quoted, and referred to. An ugly
temper is a trial that few women are
able to endure. The only cure is
Youcan't kiss a furious man;
It only makes him worse. The thing
10 do is to keep still. let him cool, and
let the matter drop. lie will respect
your sense and come to terms of his
0wn accord
Men must be taken as they are, not
IS they should be; they improve under
he refining influence OF mutual love,
and he is wretched specimen of hu.
nanity who cannot be counted on to
'hield his wife from the buffets of the
world and be an anchor when youth
md beauty have proved unfaithful.
To be born woman is to be born
martyr, but the husband that is
worth wedding is worth keeping, and
I little artifice, a pleasant smile. a
'ontented heart, forbearance, devo-
ion and tact will hold him, by all
means let him be held.

The manner in which the memosa
closes its stalks and leaves at the ap-
proach OF darkness is very interesting.
As the cleaning gently falls the leaves
move upward toward each other till
they touch; the secondary leaf stalks
slowly droop till they are nearly par
allel with the main leaf stalks, which
in their turn fall till tney point to the
ground. Thus it folds itself at the
close of day, and there is no doubt If
it were not allowed to sleep it would,
like ourselves, soon die. This is not
only an example of the necessity of
sleepforth repairing OF nervous energy
and recuperatiOn of brain power, but
a proof of the existence OF the same in
the vegetable kingdom. Then there
are the carnivorOus plants, the Venus
fly-trap tbeOnea), for instance, which
will digest raw beef as readily as sin
sect prey. From glands with which
it's leai is provided fluids are poured
out which resemble the gastric Juice OF
the animal stomach in its digestive
properties. The matter oi the insect
body or meat is thus absorbed into
the substance and TISSUES of the plant
inst as the food taken into the animal
stomach Is digeste ell and becomes part
OF the animal fabric. In the animal
disestio ion can only he commenced by
the brain force acting by means OF q
nerve upon the gastric glands; we may,
therefore, cOncede that it is the action
OF the same power in the plant that
produces the same effect.
There is no structure in plants, says
the National Review, so far as it's
functions are concerned. more wonder
ful than the tip OF the radicle. The
course pursued by the radicle in pene- |
trating the ground must he determined |
by the tip. Darwin wrote: at il |
hardly an exag9eratiOn to say that |
the tip Of the radicle. endowed as it is |
with such diverse kinds OF sensitive
hess, acts like the brain Oi animals. |
The brain, being seated within the ex- !
tremc end OF the body, receiving inn |
pressions from the sense organs, and |
directing the several movements"
do not quite agree with this, but be- |
lleve it to he another example OF that
BRAIN power which is the cause of all |,
plant movement. In the commence
ment OF plant life we find, in the case
of the pea or bean, fOr example, the
radicle emerges at'one end OF the seed
and the plumule at the other. What
causes the radicle to descend and the
her to ascend? Ii the seed is so
placed that the radicle comes out at
the top the result is the same, for the
radicle Immediately turns around and
grows downward. 1t cannot he gravi.
tation, although Darwin thought it
was. because that would have the
same effect upon the plumule. There
can only he one reason, and that is the
existence OF Il directing force or brain
power.

Bright-Eyed Children.

In the jeff. Davis procession this
morning, there were several hundred
children from our public schools, and
a full turnout of the Catholic institu-
tons; they formed by far the most in
teresting portion of the pageant.
Their bright eyes, happy faces, and
careless manner denoted no more sor-
row or sadness than the sunshine or
the morning breeze. Whenever the
little folks of San Antonio, our babies,
come together they prove the prosper
ity, the happiness of our community
and they hold the hopes of the future
IN their keeping. Let them be taught
to love their country, to honor its in.
situations and to glory in its unity
and grandeur.

Sprinkle at Night.

Streets, especially those newly
paved, should be sprinkled at night
and they would not be too slippery
for horses to walk upon. A serious
accident was almost the result of this
copious wetting of the mesquite blocks
on Alamo plaza yesterday afternoon,
when lady accidentally got in front
of pair of pranaing horses, and the
driver checked them, but could not
prevent them from sliding on the wet
blocks until their hoofs touched the
lady, and gentleman rescued her.
One wetting at midnight, or during
the night, would serve to lay the dust
every day.

UnSightIy Traps.


The Alamo Plaza, with its fine
block pavement and splendid public
buildings is becoming the most select
open space in our city. The city will,
no doubt in time, sod the ground in
the circle and thus relieve the eye of
the unsightly pile of dirt. But there
is needed some police regulations
about the tamale stands which are
still permitted to occupy the square.
We are aware that any suggestion to
the effect that the day or night, of the
tamale stand as an open air institu-
ton is about over, will be met with
objection, and it will require a little
more education to convince our people
that all business avocations, includ-
ing the restaurant business should be
put on a level and kept within proper
limits and taxed equally. But there
is one thing that should be done at
once, that is, the old traps. stoves,
tables, benches, etc., should be re-
moved when morning comes and the
glare of day exposes their unsightIy
appearance. Besides the unsightly
traps, the streets about the stands
are Uttered up with shucks and trash.
A police regulation is much needed.
