AN IDEAL HUSBAND.
True Won,anly Sentiments Expressed by
Ili;waukee Girl,

True Wouanly Sentiments Expressed by
Ili;waukee Girl.
At a gathering of young ladies one
evening last week one of them pro-
posed that the party draw up in a circle,
and each in turn give her opinion as to
the qualifications of an ideal husband.
1t was Immediately agreed to, says thu
Milwaukee Wisconsin, and oh! the di-
vcrsity of prerequisites would cause a
man 10 fear and tremble as to his &C
ccptableness even were he an angel sans
wings. Ono wanted a rich man, one a
famous one, another a handsome one;
some wanted title, and most of them
wanted all these things combined.
At last it came the turn of a sweet,
sunny little creature in pink and white
For moment her face grew serious,
and then came her verdict:
''lle must be moral, well-bred, and
have some fixed and honorable method
of making living"
What! not one word about his being
titled, rich or handsome!
But" she continued, "the man
marry must be my other self. He must
be sympathetic with me in my tastes
and pursuits. When he comes I shall
know him, and all the love l have to
give shall be his, and l shall expect love
in return for love. OF course, if he is
young and rich and handsome so much
the better, but I should not love him
less were he mono of these things
True womanly sentiments! Would
that they could find an echo in every
woman's heart. The number of I'M
happy marriages would be lessened, and
divorce unknown. Many, fascinated by
outward glamor, rush headlong into
matrimony, and too late find that the
tastes and inclinations of husband and
wife differ as widely as night and day.
For instance, one is literary and fond of
retirement, the other despises literature
and is inclined to society; each will nat
urally seek the society and conversation
OF those whose tastes and opinions coin
eide with his own. The consequence is
an estrangement of husband and wife in
things the world calls trivial, but which,
in reality, decide their happiness; and
each would find it easy to sacrifice all
tho others charms for the one charm
not there, namely, responsive heart IL

SIGHTS IN BOMBAY.
af IuIIa

Exorbltant Prices Demanded ey the
Trades-People OF India.
Here is an example of the prices asked
in Bombay. A friend OF mine once took
watch into one of these shops and
asked what was wrong with it.
"Oh, nothing much" said the assist
ant; at wants taking to pieces and set
ting to rights and regulating, and we
may keep it two or three days" He
was going to leave it without another
word, when 1t was suggested that he
might as well ask how much that IA
miliar operation would cost. He did, and
was told IS.
The next shop asked GO los. "You
must remember, sir, that we do not
come out to India for change of air" re-
marked the. shopman, severely. In the
end he discovered a Parsi who asked
half sovereign for the work and did 1t
well.
The Parsis are numerically weak,
numbering not more than $4,000 in all
India; but they are enormously wealthy
and influential, and Bombay owes much
Of her prosperity to them.
One OF the great Slghts is the natiNo
town, and when the traveller has ceased
marveling at the color, the smells, the
picturesqueness, the variety, the bustle
and the extent of 1t, he is most struck
at the Indifference Of the inhabitants to
the distinction between road and path
way. Lads coming ont Of school, mer-
chants leaving their shops, bodies of
workmen streaming out of the factories,
all walk In the middle OF the road and
leave the pathways deserted.
Suddenly carriage turns the corner
at smart trot and plunges straight into
the middle of the chattering strolers,
who fee terror-stricken 10 the right and
left, with every manifestation Of sur
prise and alarm. They behave, In fact,
quite as II they had never seen such
thing happen before, instead of which
they have probably escaped sudden
death in the same way two or three
times every evening for the past ten
years bombay Letter.

A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life

1t was just an ordinary scrap OF
wrapping paper, but it saved her life.
She was in the last stages of consump-
tion, told by physicians that she was
incurable and could live only short
time; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On a piece Of wrapping
paper she read of DIR. Kings New
Discovery, and got sample bottle; it
helped her, she bought large bottle,
it helped her more, bought another
and grew better fast, continued its
use and is now strong, healthy, rosy,

AEIER pEcAPITATIoN.
What Passes In the Brain OF n Man Whose
Head Has Been Cut on.

Head Has Been Cut on.
In the second part OF his interesting
volume, which treats OF the decapita-
tion OF human beings, DIR. Loye says;
"What passes in the head Of decapi-
tated human being?" Is there any fact
in the oft-repeated story vnat the head
lives for some moments after 1t has been
separated from the bodyp" and In con-
nection with this belief DIR. Loye quotes
terrible story told by M. Petigand
about an Anamite who was beheaded by
The sword, in 1885, at Saigon. Inc
place Of tho execution was the Plain OF
the Tombs, vast sandy tract serving
rs cemetery to the Anamites and the
Chinese. -Four Anamite pirates, taken
with their arms in their hands, were
to be beheaded. The chief OF the
band, man in the prime of
life-enorgetic, muscular, brave, with
out boasting, and firm to the last, had
attracted my special attention, and de-
cided to make my observations on him
only. Ills head fell down at the dis
tance of about yard and a quarter from
where stood. 1t did not roll in the
usual way. but stood with the surface OF
the wound resting on the sand-a posi-
tion by which the hemorrhage was acci-
dentally reduced To minimum. At
this moment was tcrror-struck at see

frankly on my eyes. Not daring to be-

to death They were already on their

fourth, viii you pardon them also?"
The Judge replied that hewould obtain
their pardon from the Emperor. The

received the mortal blow, and his head
rolled down; but to the great surprise
