How to Make a Wife Unhappy.

See your wife as seldom as possible. If
she is warm hearted and cheerful in tenn
per, or if, after days or a weeks alb
sence she meets you with a smiling face
and in an affectionate manner, be sure to
look coldly upon her and answer her in
monosyllables. If she forces back her
tears and is resolved to look cheerful sit
down and cape in her presence till she is
fully convinced of your indifference. Never
think you have anything to do to make
her happy, but that her happiness is to
flow from gratifying your capdces; and
when she has done all a woman can do
be sure you do not appear gratiied.
Never take an interest in any of her
pursuits, and if she asks your advice make
her feel as il she is troublesome and i'm
pertinent. If she attempts to rally you
good humoredly on any of your peculiari-
ties never join in the laugh, but frown her
into silence. If she has faults (which with
out doubt she will have and perhaps may
be ignorant of never attempt with kind
ness to correct them, but continually OBJ
trude upon her ears: What a good wife
Mr. Smith hasr 'How happy Mr. Smith
is with MS wife" "Any man would be
happy with such a wifer'
In company never seem to know you
have wife. Treat all her remarks with
indifference, and be very sffable and COM
placent to every other lady. If you follow
these directions you may be certain of an
obedient and broken hearted wife-New

English Tram Car Manners.

"Tram car manners" continues to be a
subject of excited controversy in Manches-
ter. Up to the present it has taken the
form of rather fierce recrimination between
the two sexes, and we regret to say that
the ladies appear to be getting the worst
of it. That may, however, be because
the male pens are more active. One Man
chester man" whs rides frequently in
cars appears from his account to have
suffered greatly at the hands of female fell
low passengers. Only the other day he was
sitting in full car waiting TO start when
a lady got on to the step and ''stalked"-
be ''can bring himself to use no other
word"-into the vehicle.
OF course the Manchester man could not
do less than offer his seat, which the lady
accepted. OF this he does not complain;
but what does vex his soul is the thought
that this lady never condescended to re-
turn a kindly smile or even a word Of
thanks, though her benefactor was COM
PEELED to continue the journey outside in
the pouring rain. Ii was not always thus.
Away in the dim vista of memory" says
the Manchester man, bursting almost into
poetry at the thought, Il have a recollec-
tion of one day giving up my seat to an
angel in an empire robe, and she said,
Thank you That day marked an era in
my life" 1t is only fair TO say that the
lady correspondents protest that the thank
less lady passengers are quite exceptional.

A MAP OF THE LOCATION.

Worlds fair is to be held in the parks
grouped as the South Park system, but
separately known as Washington park and
jackson rark. The lake front is to be a
so called annex.
The greatest difficulty, at any rate the
one which caused the longest delay, was
that by the original plan the site would
really have been divided-there would have
been two fairs at some distance apart. The
holders of the needed ground stood out for
long time, but finally gave consent on
condition that certain improvements
should be made, so that the space is now
ample and the location very convenient
When the last objection was withdrawn
President Palmer smilingly remarked to
the commissioners:
1T appears that all are going one way,
so / may say that applause is in order"
On the instant the assembled negotiators
and all the spectators broke into a roar
which was long continued. And all the
country will applaud, for the South parf s
make an admirable site. On the lake front
there will be two, perhaps three, magnifi-
cent structures, of the kind that show best
from the water, but the main part of the
exposition will be to the south, the en-
trance being in jackson park.

The Latest Foreign Seeker for American
Fame and Fortune.
The impressible young men of New York
city who are possessed of wealth and un-
limited time have found a new divinity
wosthy their devotion, dollars and dinners.
Her name is Senorita Carolina Otero, and
she has Earnered fame and gold in Paris as
a dancer. Both OF these she hopes to in
crease by an American tour. She is a ma
tive of Spain, the daughter of n general
and an actress who married, quarreled and
separated. Senorita Otero owns to having
lived 10 years. Her face is pretty and her
figure elegant. She has brown eyes and
hair, and is said TO he rather well educated
Like many other women of the stage she
possesses a history the principal Incl

all the establishment of romance. They
say that once when she was dancing near
Madrid she was abducted by agents of Al
phonso MI and taken to his palace. Her
abductors left her alone in a room and
went off to tell the king that the girl he
wished to see was at hand. While they
were gone she jumped through window
into the garden and escaped to her hotel

Saving the Big Trees.

Secretary Noble has made friends for
himself in California, and deserves the
thanks of every American possessing either
pride in his country's greatness or a love
of nature, by withdrawing from entry the
tracts of land in the Sierras covered with
sequoia groves, the big trees of the middle
coast. The design is 20 have congress set
them apart as a permanent reservation,
that the trees may be preserved for all
time or until nature works their ruin.
California is fortunate that her great
trees are in clusters. Washington has her
monarchs and grand ones. but they are to
an extent isolated, and it will be more diff
ficult to keep them from spoliation. What
can be done &: that end should be done, if
it is nothing more than the exercise of the
moral influence of each community to pre-
vent the owner of a big tree from destroy
ing it. The owner in law should regard
himself in truth as only trustee for the
people, for the coming generations as well
as this, and not sacrifice one Of the glories
of a great state for the comparatively tri-
fling profit to be made by sending it to the
mill.-Seattle Journal

B1ackened Ceilings.

1t is generally supposed that the use OF
the incandescent electric lamp completely
obviates the blackening of ceilings. This
is a mistake, however, as incandescent
lamps do to some extent cause blackening.
1t is probable that the blackening from a
gas lamp is not due to unconsumed carbon,
but to the deposition Of particles from q
current Of hot air.
The incandescent lamp causes a current
of hot air, which also deposits black parti-
cles; but unless the lamp is near the CELL
ing it is not easily observed, as the cur
rent Of air Is, Of course. smaller. It may
be noticed in connection with this subject
that the mica guards and glass bells ar
ranged over gas burners do not themselves
blacken, and do not appreciably lessen the
blackening of the ceiling 1t Is there
fore probable that the deposit only takes
place from hot air to cold surface.-In-
dustries.

PECULIAR INFATUATION.
EiFerent Methods of Following the Injunc-
ton Love One Another"
Do men ever fall in love with each other?

Do men ever fall in love with each other.
Women do Not long ago a young
woman in New Jersey was married to q
youthful laborer on her fathers farm
| Sometime afterward it was discovered that
the husband was a female; the young wife
refused. however, though earnestly en-
treated by her friends, to give up heI
chosen consort. The strangest part of the
discovery was the fact that the bride knew
her husband was a woman before she was
led TO the altar.
IL men do not exhibit this strange in.
fatuation for one of their own sex, they at
least oftentime give evidence Of the fact
that they love one another. There are
many instances on record where one man
has given his life for another. There are
many more instances where men have
given life to another.
1t is proud possession-the knowledge
that one has saved precious human life.
Meriden, Conn, is the home of such a
happy man. John II. Preston, of that
city, July II, 1890, writes: Five years ago
/ was taken very sick. | had several of
the best doctors. and one and all called it
a complication of diseases. | was sick
four years, taking prescriptions prescribed
by these same doctors, and | truthfully

At this time / commenced to have the
most terrible pains in my back. One day
an old friend of mine, Mr. X. T. Cook, of
the firm of Curtis q Cook, advised me to
try Warmers Safe Cure, as he had been
troubled the same way and it had effected
a cure for him. bought six bottles, took
the medicine as directed and am today a
well man. ! am sure no one ever had a
worse case of kidney and liver trouble
than l had. Before this | was always

Friendship expresses itself in very pc
culiar ways sometimes; but the true friend
is the friend in need.

Value of a Night Meal.

Most students and women who are trou-
bled with insomnia are dyspeptic, and they
should, therefore, eat before going to bed,
having put aside work entirely at least an
hour before. If they are not hungry they
should simply be instructed to eat, and if
they are hungry they should eat whatever
they want. A glass of milk and biscuit
are sometimes all that can be taken at first,
or a mashed potato buttered.
II possible the night meal should be
taken in another room than the sleeping
apartments, and for men in the city it will
be found advantageous TO go out to a
restaurant. Before eating, however, bath
should be taken, preferably cold or cool,
which should be given with a sponge or
stiff brush, and the body thoroughly
rubbed of with a coarse towel afterwarG
The bath need not be more than five min
utes in duration.-New York Journal.

About Girls.

Compositions, so called, are not written
for amusement, but are sometimes anus
ing. Here, for example, is what a school
boy has to say about girls:
Girls are very stuck up and dignifed In
their manner, and behave themselves.
They think more of dress than anything,
and like to play with dolls and rags. They
cry if they see a cow in the far distance,
and are afraid of guns. They stay at home
all the time, and go to church on Sunday
They are always making fun Of boys
hands, and they say, "How dirty"
They can't play marbles. pity them,
poor things. They make fun of boys, and
then turn round and love them l don't
believe they ever killed cat or anything.
They look out every night and say, 'Ain't
the moon lovely2" There is one thing
have not told, and that Is they always
know their lessons better than boys.-Ex-

The True Irish Shamrock.

In Ireland only one shamrock is known
1t is an indigenous species of clover,
which trails along the ground among
the grass in meadows The trefoil leaves
are not more than one-fourth the size
of the smallest clover | have seen in
America, and are pure green in color. with
out any of the brown shading of white
and pink clovers. The creeping stem is
hard and fibrous, and is difficult to dis
lodge from the earth. On st. Patricks
day the true shamrock has TO be searched
out among the grass, for, though compar-
stively plentiful at that season, it grows
close 10 the ground.
Later it bears a tiny white brown" bios
som. The information that shamrakh is
the Arabic word for trefoil may be Of serv-
ice to those interested in the origin Of the
Irish race. The word could have been in
troduced by the MiIesians, or it may fur
nish An argument in support Of the con
tentioR that one of the lost ten tribes Of
Israel settled in Ireland, which has been
revived by the publication of recent book.

Low in the Class.

A student at one Of our colleges on COM
mencement day pointed cut to q visitor q
row of young men sitting apart. 'Those
are our honor men," he said. The rest OF
Us are of no accoGat. We won no prizes"
The head of famous school in New Eng
land once frankly said: 81 confess that the
school is intended for lads Of exceptional
ability. We have no place for dull boys"
Here are two different views Of the ques-
ton, and between them both the boy Of
average talent falls to the ground. Yet
nine-tenths of the students in our schools
are not "bonor men,"
School contests are frequently cruel; the
defeated majority are too often made to
feel that they are inferior in their class, and
will be so in the werld.
They should remember that the prize or
honor is mere side issue of the subject;
so is the success of their more able fellows.
They have taken their brains to school to
be trained as a workman sharpens his
tools before beginning the days labor.
Let them look to their own tools and their
sharpness. The condition of the brains or
tools of their comrades does not concern
them.
They must consider, too, that outside Of
school there are prizes and honors to be
won in other fields than scholarship. Here
and there man writes book, or paints a
picture, or leads a political movement
with brilliant success, and becomes famous;
but the world is as much concerned to
know whether the slow, commonplace man
is honest and energetic; whether he is kind
to his wife and family, generous to his
clerks, charitable in his Judgment. 1t is,
after all, he and his fellows who give char
acter to a community or race; who, in
the long run, fight the battles Of progress,
and sustain civilization and Christianity.
The boy in the middle of his class has a
great work before him. Let him sharpen
his tools and make ready for it.-Youth's
