O'Connell's Love for His WIFE,

Gladstone In the Nineteenth Century.
The domestic relations of O'Connell cannot
escape the notice of the most careless reader
They were broadly distinguished from those Of
common men by the vehement and ever-Howing
tide of emotion that coursed through them
They are illuminated by every occasion that
comes up, and we find him acting the part of a
spiritual adviser In detail to daughter in a
grave and anxious crisis of the soul. the mar
ticular nature OF which is reverently yelled.
Their verbal expression Is concentrated In his
letters to his wife. From these it appears that
his whole married life, from its commencement
In 1902 to it's close In 1886. was one continued
course, not Of ardent affection only. but of
courtship. Unless for the purpose of satire nc
such gushing vocabulary OF love has ever. as
far as know, been laid open to the public eve.
O'Connell speaks of Charles Phillips, the au-
thor Of 'Curran and his Contemporaries (" as sin
sane with love-" Some might be inclined to
retort the phrase upon him. After eleven years
Of married life, In letter Of no more than
sixteen lines, his wife is my darling heart"
''heart's treasure" my sweetheart love-" .smy
own hary," my own darling love-" my own
dearest, dearest darling" aud Il wish to God
you knew how fervently I-dote on you" This
Is from him when on circuit, to whom the ex-
pendture Of q minute was the expenditure of
drop OF professional life's blood. In other
ways we shall see that he was man who never
could withhold, never could contract, his SYM
pathies. In this very letter there Is one. but
one. morsel of pure prose-his business lis in-
crcasing almost beyond endurance" In later
years the catalogue Of endearing phrases is
scarcely shortened, and he truly describes his
case when he says, Darling will you smile at
the love Letters OF your old husband?"

A Dangerous Thing.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A dangerous thing to do unless you give your
full mind to it is to examine the Photographic
album OF person you don't know very well,
when that person is at your elbow. Recently a
young man Of my acquaintance found himself
at a loss to carry on q conversation with his
hostess, who is a young married woman. and
he himself had the daring to take up photo
graph album and commence to turn the pages.
His hostess sat near enough to see the photo
graphs and naturally enough she made running
comment upon them, explaining who the peo-
pie pictured were. If the young man had Kept
his mind as well as his eyes riveted on the book
there would have been no trouble. But his
attention ran of at the beck Of some recollec-
ton, and he turned over leaf after leaf me-
chemically. Presently he came to the picture
Of pretty girl, and he ventured half absent
''Your sister, presumed
''No, sir, was the quiet reply; "that's baby's
nurse. We put it in to please baby"
his danger, but it didn't. The next page but
one disclosed the picture of a young man with
a self-satisfed smirk on his face and banged
hair.
"a face like that" remarked the young man,
struggling to hide yawn, ''always makes me
think OF gents furnishing store. He seems
to be saying: Those are our very best at
All the young matron replied to this was
"Indeed! Do you think sol" But there was
such an ugly emphasis on the indeed that the
young man looked up in time to notice that
flush was still on his hostess face and an angry
light in her eyes. He guessed he'd put his
foot in 1t, and took care to make no remarks
till the album was closed again. By stealth
later in the evening he brought friend to the
album and and asked him who the young man
with smirk and bangs might be.
why, don't youk your host? That photo
was taken before he was married." was the
unsatisfactory reply.

Colds and Improper Night Wear.

From the Detroit Tribune.
The conventional linen or airy cotton night
robe is in no small degree responsible for the
prevalency Of winter colds. Most people sit
during the evening in a room heated to rs de-
gress or upward. They retire to a room per-
haps at go degrees, divest themselves of their
warm garments, put ON an airy cotton night
robe get between chilly sheets, SILVER until they
give out sufficient warmth from their bodies to
change the temperature. This sudden change
from hot to cold is radically wrong, and serious
contemplation of the fact will show to any sensi-
BILE person the absurdity of such custom
Good warm night garments are as essential to
good health and comfort are warm day clothes.
Warmer night clothes and fewer bed clothes
would be better for both children and adults.
Wooden night clothes allow the body to main.
tain normal temperature which is of the great
est Importance. In nearly all foreign countries,
when change of garments is made at night
wooden or mixture of silk and linen or cotton
is worn. The backwoodsman lies down in his
wooden blankets and defies the elements.

Something About Jade.


The tombstone Of the conqueror, Tamerlane,
at Samarcand-he died there in 1405-consiss of
an immense block Of dark green jade. Some
courageous vandal broke piece from it for the
late DR.. Heinrich Fischer. of Baden, part of
which was sent to me. The rest of the tomb
stone is still at Samarcand for some enterprising
Ameqcan or English collector The block OF
Siberian jade exhibited for time at the British
museum weighed 1,13O pounds. De Laet (l64D
mentions lump Of jade the size Of man 8
head, which came from the Amazon river and
sold for ESQ (S2500. A piece the size of cup
was sold to Rudolph II. BY the imperial jeweler
at Dresden for 1000 thaiers Cortez was con-
tent with four pieces out of all Montezuma's ac-
cumulated treasurers.
The emperor of China has necklace Of fine
green beads Of jadeite as large as cherries,
strung at intervals between several Of the finest
coral. Pendant from this is a large ruby-spinal.
Among the principal collections may be men,
toned that of the museum at Freiburg in
Baden, which contains the collection Of the late
DIR. Heinrich Fischer, at Freiburg the greatest
authority on jade; and those of the museums at
Constance and at Dresden. At the colonial ex-
hibition in London there were shown large
rounded and waterworn blocks of jade weighing
hundreds of pounds, and called by the Maoris
panama. Much Of it, of the finest green color,
was worked into charms and knife handles at
the exposition.

Two Fridays in One Week.

FrOIn the Detroit Free Press.
A day is added or taken from the calendar
when ship is crossing the Pacific ocean.
Those who remember this fact win be interested
in the following extract from the journal of, a
traveller on his way from China to San Fran
cisco: I've ran northeasterly course at first,
going as high as forty-seven degrees ffty-eight
minutes north, in which latitude we crossed
the 1sOth degree Of longitude on July 9, and
consequently had two Fridays and eight days
in the week. This fairly puzzled one of our
party, who came to his breakfast in a bewil-
dered state Of mind asking whether to-day was
yesterday or tomorrow, and declaring that he
had certainly gone to bed ON Friday night, and
yet had got up again on Friday morning! For
my own part I must say that it looks very
strange to see in my diary Friday, 9 July, No.
