The rooms are about six feet in height.

THE WOMEN MEN WANT.
Suggestions for Girls Who Are in Il
Matrimonial Market.


Matrimonial Market.
Men often admire women for their
intellectual culture, their skill in music
or their taste in matters of dress; but
they do not love women because they
possess these distinguishing qualities.
Brainy women. so called. have a great
many admirers, but they are not in de-
and in the matrimonial market: at
least they are not fought over to any
great extent
Business men want wives who are
competent to manage the domestic end
OF their business, and not such as have
to be managed, or who want to manage
all or nothing. The latter usually
wreck the business of the firm, OF keep
the man in such state of worry that he
only gets along tolerably we'll.
A sensitive. sensible business man
doesn't want a wife who poses as the
head of the domestic concern; who
carries the purse and the night key and
practically wears the trousers. There
are some men who like such wives, but
they are exceptions to the rule.
The best husbands in the land want
WIVES W no are 4uteAllEtHts practical anu
affectionate: who take pride in their
homes, feel an interest in the success Of
their husbands, and are ready to share
either fortune or misfortune. Such a
woman is brave. generous and indie
pendent. and will command the respect
OF any honest, courteous man in the
land. 1t will not be asked Of her
whether she speaks French or plays
high-class music on the piano.
A man wants a wife Of whom he is
proud. either at home or abroad. He
wants her to be neat, tidy and we'll
hammered. 1t is not really necessary
that she be pretty, but she must be
agreeable, of kindly disposition, loving
and affectionate.
The woman who is fitting herself for
the position of wife should be careful
not to bank very heavily on either her
pretty face or coed shape, nor even on
her boarding-school accomplishments
These are good enough to secure pass
ing admiration, but they are not lust
the points a sensible man looks for when
he starts out to select a wife. He pre-
fars good, everyday common-sense. gen

ton. Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

And SO she was, and although not salts

The DELAY caused by this incident
made II very late when we rounded a
point of trees and came in sight OF
Baulu village. 1t presented beauti-
full sight. lit up by the red light OF the
setting sun, long line Of brown build
ings under bright green foliage ex
tending for nearly mile along the
bank of the river. a background of
dark, seemingly impenetrable forest,
while the blue smoke from the evening
fires foated ont over the stream, and
enveloped the upper end of the here
broad reach of river in dim haze.
The sun sank as we drew near the
bank, where we found the chief attired
in 4 cloth of dark red, waiting TO re-
ceive us surrounded by crowd of men,
armed with the most perfectly made
spears and copper-handled knives We
had yet seen.

Leonide Apostoloff, a Cossack engi-
neer, is ct work on a new boat. which he
says Will make eighty knots an hour on
the surface Of the sea, and 12O knots at
full speed under water. His idea is to
use the motive power of the screw TO
the fullest extent. The boat IS shaped
Ike a spindle, and consists of an inner
and outer shell, the inner one revolving
on journals fitted at each end Of a hori-
zontal shaft that runs through the axis
OF a stumble. Beginning at point near
the bow and winding twice around the
outer she'll is blade perpendicular to
the axis of the spindle, very much like
the thread of a screw. As the outer
she'll reyolves this screw thread viii

screw will be turned by an electric
