DOMESTIC STRATEGY.

Cases In which II Is Necessary for Women
to Wheedie Their Husbands.
The Indian squaw is the slave OF her
brave. She works for him and serves
him even as his horse or his dog work
for him.. but, unlike the dog or horse,
that Indian woman Is possessed OF one
Of the strongest human instincts-the
love Of power. The only voice she can
have in the community, her very su-
premacy In her own wigwam, Is through
her influence over the men OF her fam
lily This being the. case, she must be .
very remarkable squaw who does not
aatter, wheedle and cajole her husband,
and by every possible means secure as
strong hold as possible over him.
We all know households to-day where
these wigwam tactics are pursued. The
master is irascible, overbearlng obsti-
nate. The wife Is his equal In most re-
spects. and in some his superior-in
self-control and good temper particu-
larly so. For the peace Of tho house
hold 1t Is impossible to directly oppose
the dicta of the master, who is OF sort
that wants to know best about all do
nestle matters, the discipline OF the
nursery and the kitchen, as we'll as tho
routine OF tho stable, or tho ordering OF
the vino cellar.
Now, in othe matters pertaining to
kitchen and nursery, the wife knows
that her husbands ideas are wrong and
that her own are right, and by q con-
slant series OF small receptions the
tyrant is led to believe that his meas
ures are carried out, whereas, In point
Of fact, they are quite properly ignored.
! do not say tho wife is blamelcss, but ]
say that the fault lies first with the
husband, whose tiresomo tyranny forces
his wife into subterfuges for the sake Of
the general good. There Is large class
Of men who have to be thus oajoled.--

One That Yields Product Of Four Thou
sand Tons per Year,
In tho Copper Cliff mino near Sud-
bury, Cam, 1t is said more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
OF the world calls for at current prices.
A little branch railway of the main line
OF the Canadian Pacific railway, four
miles in length, leads out to the mine,
which opens into the face Of a crag OF
the brown, oxidized Laurentian rock
Characteristic OF this region. The miners
are now at work at depth Of about 800
feet below the surface. AS fast as the
nickel and copper-bearing rock Is hoist-
ed out 1t is broken up and piled upon
long beds or ricks Of pine wood TO DO
calcined, or roasted, for tho purpose Of
driving out the sulphur which 1t con-
tains. The roasting process is of the
nature of limc-kilning or charcoal-burn-
ing. Each great bed of ore requires from
ono to two months TO roast. When roast
ed the rock goes to the principal smelt-
er, powerful blast-furnace, ''jacketed"
in mining phrase-with running water
TO enable 1t to sustain the great heat
requisite to reduce the crude, obdurate
mineral to fluidity.
The dross of the molten mass is first
allowed to flow of, and afterward the
nearly puro nickel and copper, blended
together In an alloy called the mat"
or matte, is drawn of at tho base OF the
furnace vat into borrow-pots, and
wheeled away, still liquid and fiery hot,
to cool in the yard OF the smclter. Tho
mat contains about 10 per cent. OF nickel,
tho remaining 80 por cent being mainly
copper. When cool the conical pot
loaves Of mat can easily DO cracked In
pieces by means Of heavy hammers. The
fragments are then packed in barrels
and shipped in Swansea In Wales and TO
Germany, where tho two constituent
metals arc separated.
So jealousy is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to
learn tho process, although one young
metallurgist spent three years at Swan
sea, working as a common laborer In the
factories, in order to procure II. Al
present there arc produced daily at the
Copper Cliff mino about ninety pot
loaves Of mat, each weighing near 450
pounds, IN output which yields an ag-
gregate OF more than "A, 900 tons OF nickcl

THE FIRST GARDENERS.

A Sagacious Little Insect which Grows
Grain In Texas.
Man is not the only animal who has
discovered this emipently practical
division Of the vegetable world into
weeds on the one hand and garden
plants on the other. Our ingenious little
six-legged precursors, the ants, have
anticipated US in this, as In many other
useful discoveries and inventions. They
were the first gardeners. ] need hardly
add that 1t is an American ant that
carries the art OF horticulture to the
highest perfection; only Yankee In
sect would be so advanced, and only
Yankee naturalists would be sharp
enough to discover its method. This
particular little beast who grows grain
resides in Texas, and each nest owns
small claim in the vicinity OF its mound,
on which 1t cultiyates kind OF grass,
commonly known as ant-rico.
The claim IL circular, about ton or
twelve feet in diameter, and the ants al
low no plant but the anti-rice to en-
croach upon the cleared space any
whore. The produce of the crop they
carefully harvest, though Authorities
are still disagreed upon tho anal ques-
ton whether they plant tho grain or
merely allow 1t to SOW its own seed itself
on the protected area. One thing, how
ever, is certain-that no other plant is
permitted TO Bprout on the tabooed
patch; tho ants wage war on weeds far
more vigorously and effectively than
our own agriculturists. Even in our less
go-ahend Eastern continent Sir John
Lubbock has noticed in Algeria land
the present humble observer has veri-
fed tho fact) that ants allow only cor
tain species OF plants, useful to them
selves, to grow in tho Immediate neigh
borhood OF their nosts --t'ornhill Maya

CLEVER GOV. GORDON.
How He Sold W. j. Arke'l, Russell
Harrison's Partner.

''aTTiSoh FhWcT.
Gen. Gorden. the Governor OF
Georgia, wrote to w. j. hrkell, the
publisher of Judge and Frank Leslie's,
quite recently, and told him that he
was very anxious to add some features
to his stock farm, particularly in the
department of mules, and said that if
Arkell would be SO friendly and oblig-
ing as to pick out half dozen of this
kind of animal, of a gentle disposi-
ton and of feminine gender, that the
Governor would feel himself under
the deepest obligation. Gordon de-
clared that he was ambitious to have
the finest and most numerous family
of mules in America. Arkell was
brought up ON farm, but he did not
perceive the Gilbertan hUmor conceal
ed in the letter, and in all good faith
proceeded to Bulls Head and open
cd negotiations for the kind of mules
that Gov. Gordon had described. His
simple and straightforward request
called forth more uproarious hilarity
among the horsemen than circus and
three good farce comedies could have
produced in month, and Mr.. Arkell
didn't quite SEQ where the joke came
in until he was given to understand
by horse dealer who had temporarily
got the better of his merriment, that
If the population had to depend on
the system of breeding, wickedly sug-
gested by Gov. Gordon, the popula-
ton would die out with the present
generation. At the present time Mr..
Arkell is very busily cogitating a
scheme for getting even with Gov,
Gordon New York Mail and Elk

1t Ia tho Most Prolific source OF Continual
Headache.
Pain Is often caused by an irritated
neryo far distant from tho seat OF tho
Jain, especially in the case OF persons
who have inherited worry susceptible
nervous organization
The Medical Record has IN article on
eyo-strain rs a cause OF headache and
neuralgia, by tho eminent expert, DIR.
Ambrose L. Ranney, in which the writer
gives record OF flfty consecutive cases
of headache and neuralgia which he
treated exclusively by correcting visual
defect. The success Of this treatment
was signal, and in many cases marvel
Gus.
DIR. Ranney's special attention WIS
drawn to the subject by his own expert
ence Ton years ago he was almost in
despair from continual headache. Two
able physicians had treated his case
without result As his sight was appar-
emily perfect and unusually acute, no de-
feet OF vision was thought OF. At length,
however, he requested that atropine be
instillod into his eyes, This revealed 0
defect, which was at once relieved by
appropriate glasses, with the immediate
and permanent cessation Of his head
ache.
1t seems that this eye-strain may OK
list and be the source of most painful
neuralgia, not only in the head, but
elsewhere, and the person be utterly I'M
conscious OF defect OF vision. Some
cases require not only glasses, but the
serving OF sons ocular muscle-tenot-
omy.
One OF DIR. Ranney's patients was
young lady who for five years had been
unable TO write, read, sew or to see her
most intimate friends. A constant pain
In her head was rendered intolerable BY
any use OF her eyes, or any excitement
She could not walk across the room
without difficulty. Tenotomy was per-
formed on three of her ocular muscles,
a rapid improvement followed, and
after several weeks she returned homo
cured.
Another patient had succumbed to
headache, insomnia and nervous pros
tration; he was compelled TO abandon
business, and took u trip TO Europe with
out benefit No medical treatment
helped him. His brother, prominent
physician OF New York, advised him to
consult DIR. Ranney, who, treating his
ewes restored the mans health, strength
and mental vigor within six weeks Two
years have elapsed without return Of
the symptoms.
