The Kind of Wife You Want.

The following advice TO young men con
Ienplating hfe's most momentous step is
rendered by Bob Bardett in a recent issue
of the Burlington Hawkeye; "You say
you demand domestic, useful woman as
your wife, lfthat is so, marry Nora Multi
gan, your laundress daughter She wears
cowhide shoes, is guiltless Of corsets, never
had sick day in her life, takes in washing,
goes out housecleaning, and cooks for a
family of seven children, her mother and
three section men who board with her. |
don't think she would marry you. because
Con Reagan, the traek-walker, is her style
of man. Let us examine into your quail
fieations as model husband after your
own nlatrim ,nial ideas, my boy Can you
shoulder barrel of -four and carry it down
cellar? Can you saw and split ten cords
of hickory wood in the fall so as to have
ready fuel all winter? Can you spade up
halt acre OF ground for a kitchen garden?
Do You know what will take the lime taste
out of the cistern, and can you patch the
little leak in the kitchen roof? Can you
bring hone pane Of glass and wad of
patty and repair damages in the sitting
room window Can you hang some cheap
paper on the kitchen? Can you 6x the
front gate so it viii not sag Can you
do anything about the house that Con
Reagan can? My dear, dear boy, you see
Nora MUlligau wants higher type of true
manhood. You expect to hire men to do
all the mans work about the house, but
you want your wife to do anything any
woman can do Believe me, my son, that
nine-tenths of the girls who play the piano
and sing so charmingly, whom you in your
limited knowledge set down as mere but
tertiies of fashion, are better fitted for wives
than you are for husband If you want
to marry first-class cook and experienced
housekeeper do your courting in the intel
ligence office. But if you want a wife,
marry the girl you love, with dimpled
hands and a face ike the sunlight,
and her love will teach her all these things,
my boy, long before you have learned one
half of your own lesson"

Something for Nothing,

Ii is always impossible to get something
for nothing honestly. 1t is always impos-
sible to give something for nothing benefi-
Gently. This is as true in other realms as
in the commercial It is violated by other
methods than those of the gambler. The
man who gives a dime or a dollar to a
beggar for nothing does nothing to alleviate
poverty. He increases it. This is the
lesson which the lasgard- Drained world
has been so long in learning. But we
have learned it at last. This lazy kind OF
charity is not charity at ALL He who
makes the beggar earn the dime. or the
dollar, before or after, by service first rem
dered or by industry to be awakened and
set in motion, does a charity But he who
gives and neither demands a compensating
energy before nor arouses eompensating
energy after gives nothing. He has only
helped man to violate the universal and
inexorable moral law against all effort,
however disguised, to get something for
nothing. Sometimes this spirit gets into
the church The minister laments de-
eaying church, diminishing congregation,
an enfeebled and dull prayer meeting,
lessened or tardily paid salary. Ten to one
it is another case Of something for moth
ing" What are you giving to this con-
gregation? What do they get when they
come to church? What that fills them
with better life, or purpose to attain it?
They are discouraged and want hope per
picked, aud want light; bedraggled in the
mire, and want power of upward fight
If the minister can give them that, if they
go away from every service with a better
hope, clearer faith in God and divine
principles of Righteousness, cheerier love
for their fellow men, they do not stay away.
But if they come for grain and get only
the echo of an old fail on old straw, no
great wonder if they cease to come. They
will not long give something for nothing,
Look around you, and you will find that ali
the men of great success are men who have
given something for something, and gener-
ally good measure, heaped up, pressed down
and running over. But you see only what
they have received, not what they have
given And the men who have failed de-
served to fail, because they have been try
ing, consciously or unconsciously, to get
something for nothing. And that is never
a road to an enduring success.

Chinese Flogging.

This punishment is as peculiar as most
Chinese punishments are. The man is
seized by four or FIVE stalwart attendants,
thrown on his face, his loose pyjamas rolled
up so as to expose the feshy part of the
back of his thighs. He is firmly held
outstretehed in this position by men at his
head and feet Two operators then squat
down opposite one another on each side of
the victim. One takes a strip of seasoned
bamboo about three feet long and one inch
wide, and begins lightly spanking the backs
of the thighs He gives twenty of these
apparently harmless spanks, aud then hands
the bamboo to his vis-a-vis, who gives his
twenty, and then hands it back; aud so on,
turn about, until the two hundred blows
are administered
At first the punishment looks ridiculous
ly light; but by the time the first fifty blows
are reached the skin of the parts beaten
begins to assume the appearance of thick
wash leather; and before the hundredth
blow the skin begins to fly off in loose
white flakes; by the time two hundred
blows have been struck, the whole Of the
back of both thighs looks ike mass of
swollen raw liver, though not drop of
blood flows from the parts 1t is said that
a man would expire under the excruciat-
ing torture of two hundred and fifty of
these blows. | have never seen anything
like the exquisite agony depicted in that
mans hvid, quivering features, when he
was carried into the prison to recover.

Must Cater to all Glasses.

The Altoona, Pa, Tribune utters a truth
when it remarks that "the newspaper must
cater to nearly all classes of readers within
the limits of deeency, but nobody is bound
to read all that newspaper contains any
more than guest at hotel is obliged to
partake of every dish on the bill of fare.
Generally this matter is understood by the
public, but here and there you find one who
wants the whole bill of fare to consist of
his favorite dish, and is angry if anybody
else's taste is consulted. "

Nicaraguan Timber.

Tropical and subtropical woods, accord
ing to Professor r. H. Thurston, are usu-
ally distinguished by extraordinary size,
strength, hardness, solidity and durability
Among some thirty specimens to which
special tests were applied there were some
like mahogany in appearance and quality,
while Others resembled oaks and other hard
woods of our forests, but excelled them in
density, strength, elasticity and durability,
These, and many other woods which exist
in enormous quantities in Central American
forests, may prove Of great value for many
purposes, but their hardness is often a
serious objection.

Noetital.
QUIET WAYS ARE BEST.

BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.
What's the use of worrying,
of hurrying,
And scurrying,
Everybody flurrying
And breaking up their rest?
When everything is teaching us,
Preaching, and beseeching us,
To settle down and end the fuss.
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that triekles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers.
And gentle zephyrs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each brimming cup,
There's ruin in the tempest's path;
There's ruin In a voice Of wrath;
And they alone are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves. their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best;
Nothing gained by worrying.
By hurrying
And scurrying:
With fFetting and with fiurrying
The temper's often lost,
And in pursuit Of some small prize
We rush ahead and are not wise.
And find the unwOnted exercise
fearful price has cost.
'Tis better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along
Reluctant they to raise fuss
or make themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene ia heart and nerve.
Their strength IS always In reserve,
And nobly stands each test
And every day, and all about,
by scenes within. and scenes without,
We can discern. with ne'er a doubt,
That quiet ways are best
