A HoMELY EMPRESS.

The Empress of Japan is particularly
ugly person of thirty-fve, who, like her
husband, bears the name of Mutsu Hlto.
She dresses in rigidly orthodox japanese
fashion, her lowered kimonos being mira
cles of elaborate hideousness, as we'll as
her coiffure, which consists of huge
knob of coarse straight hair at the back
CT her head, forming an ebon halo to her
face. Just over her head she wears a
marvellous construction of ribbons and
precious stones which form a towering
diadem. The Empress is nonentity,
politically speaking, but is a martinez for
etiquette, and is much dreaded by the
ladies of the court. She is, moreover,
very musical, and excels in playing the
very unpleasantin instrument called "koto. "

PROFIT IN DUCKS.

There is always a good market for
ducks, not only in the larger cities, but
il every town. Now that the old idea
that Ilcks require brook or pond has
been proven erroneous, there appears no
reason why these birds should not be
added to every poultry yard. The i'm
proved kinds, such as Pekins and Roucns,
can be easily and proftably reared on dry
ground. Ducks begin laying early, and
the ducklings can with generous feeding
be got ready for the table in compara-
lively quick time.-Ne0 York W0rM.

FASHIONS IN PRECIOUS STONES.

"Among women, diamonds and rubies
are still the favoritc precious stones, ru-
bies more than diamonds. Just see the
difference in price between diamonds and
rubies," said a New York jeweler.
"Here is ruby of four or FIVE carats, the
very perfection of color, a true pigeons
blood. 1t is marked $40, 900. Now, it
would take an extraordinary diamond of
this size and shape to be worth even
$25O0. In the last few years, emeralds
are becoming quite popular; we are SELL
ing good many of them. - Chatter.

A swEETHEARTs' PROTECTIVE UNION,

Forty-seven girls of Plymouth, Penn,
have formed a Young Ladies Protective
Union. When young man pays atten-
tion to one of the members, committee
of three is appointed to find out what is
his standing, morally and financially. If
the lover is all right, his good qualities
are reported to the young lady in the
presence of the club. If not she is in
formed of it in private. If he is found
to be black sheep, and she continues to
receive his attentions she is dropped from
the club.-Daughters Of america.

GoTHAM's FEMALE DIAMOND MERcHAN!

eoTHAM's FEMALE DIAMOND MERCHANT.
An odd fact in New York trade is that
the best known seller of diamonds is a
woman. Members of her sex buy all sorts
of precious stones from her on the install
ment plan. There are lot of different
ways of managing it,and she is apparent
ly mistress of most of them. Her ac-
quaintance among shoppers is enormous.
It is interesting to see her female custom
ers drive bargains with her. When they
decide on a certain ring or bit of jewelry
the war begins. The dealer leans both
her elbows on one side of the showcase
and the customer leans hers on the other.
The trinket in dispute lies between them.
They start in at widely diverging prices
and fence toward neutral ground. Men
may come and men may 60 in the shop,
but the discussion proceeds with uninter-
rupted energy, sometimes for an hour at
time. Apparently the merchant enjoys
the mental stimulus of this sort Of selling;
but she usually wears we'll satisfied

A fagstone floor with cemented joints

floors arc apt to rot out, and brick floors
absorb the spilled milk, soon becoming
very offensive. If bricks are used the
floors should be kept painted all the
time, and even then it is not so good as

THE MARRIAGE RELATION.
Proper Condition for the HIGHEST Develop

Proper Condition for the HIGHEST Develop
ment Of Humanity.
Make the marriage right and the off,
spring will tend to be right. Perhaps
it may be true that we need a new idea
of the marriage relation. The old one
in which the woman promises to obey
the man is perishing visibly before our
modern eyes. Often she ought not to
do SO, fora man may be fool or brute.
And the theory adopted by many ill
mated couples that marriage is dis.
cipline is too cynical to be either true
or attractive. The theory of easy
divorce and frequent change as aremedy
for ordinary disagreements has also
serious disadvantages, and is no sound
remedy. It is only poor refuge from
immediate suffering. But a new and
perhaps, useful attitude may be gained
by looking upon matrimony, as it is, in
truth, the only complete condition OF
humanity. In no other relation can man
or woman reach their highest develop.
ment. No character is full till it COM
prlses it's opposite. The very diver
gencies at which each party frets are
the lacking necessities of it's own ma
ture. Each would be partial and mar.
row without the other, and the new
motto we may propose for matrimonY
is the newt word, development. Mar
riage is development. If not quite
happy, it is still generously educational.
If love dies out from it, vet charity,
wisdom, tact and liberality of mind may
remain in it. Blind love may indeed
remain and leave the happy levers with
out its best effects, since even love may
remain narrow and selfish. But the
man who has learned to comprehend
the feminine nature with its delicate,
sprightly, graceful qualities in his own,
and the woman who has adopted some
thing Of masculine independence, liber-
alitv and courage into her constitution,
| will be far better than the sole endow-
ment nature would have given either
to be alone.

JOYS OF WE'D DBD LIFE.

Some Of The Delightful Incidents il the
Existence Of q Benedict.
The joys OF welded life have never
all been written out, One Of the most
delightful incidents in the life of
Benedict occurs at midnight. when he
is routed from his slumbers BY his wife,
who strikes two or three well-dlrected
blows upon his breast with her elbow.
s'Wife. what is the matter?'
The lady has drawn her delicate head
underneath the blanket and Is shaking
like disturbed jar of calf-foot jelly.
She says IN smothered, tremul0us
voice:
''Oh. Thomas Tor John, or James), /
hear noisa in. the hall. and there is
certainly somebody In the house."
Nonsense; you are mistaken
There there it is again. You can
hear them walking in the parlor.
They're robbing the house. l told you
the new servant was suspicious per-
son.
The husband has. by the time the
last speech is delivered, raised himself
bolt upright in the bed. pulled off bis
night-cap, and pricked his ears to catch
the slightest sound. After he has
shivered Eve minutes or 80, the wife
again says:
There, now, l heard a glass break.
Oh, we shall be murdered! Do get YOUR
pistols, Thomas.
The husband is now really alarmed,
and gets out of bed. He gropes around
carefully; but, Notwithstanding his
caution, falls over chair, pitches into
a washstand, and alights among the
fragments of a wash-basin. The lady
shrieks, and asks her husband il the
robbers are in the room. Getting no
answer, she dashes to the window and
cries: Murder The husband ell
deavorlng to stop her, but the steam is
too high for the safeGv-valve. The
neighborhood Is alarmed, and disturbed
faces are numerous. The policeman
hears Murder" Cried, and at the ter
rible shrieks of the lady breaks the LOCK-
of the front door and rushes in. Severa
Of the nelghbors follow him With lights,
and OF a sudden the whole picture Is
illuminated. The poor husband had
cut himself upon the basin, and the
floor is covered with blood. The wife
explains the cause of their alarm and
dilemma, and, Of course, the policeman
goes off.
The official never thinks any more Of
the matter, but the neighbors never
forget it. The poor husband gets the
name Of a blackguard and vile brute.
and a story goes about that he was
caught beating his wife in a dark room
at midnight, with chairs and wash
basin. she being too kind to tell the
truth.
