A Good Example.

Among tho passengers on one OF the
outward bound ocean steamers this sum-
mer was minister's wife, whose de-
parture illustrates an important princi-
pie in the conduct OF home affairs. Her
husband receives bus small salary and
most wives in their circumstances would
have rejected the idea OF European
trip as impossible. But the bearing and
rearing of little children had made large
draughts upon her vital force, and, as
the summer vacation drew near, her
husband insisted, since both could not
leave home, that she should go away in
stead of him. He recognized the fact
that in the household man and wife are
partners, on an equal footing, and that
whatever conduces to the good of one
will be beneficial to both, Maternity
had made special demands upon her, and
he argued that it was only fair for him
to assume, with competent help, the en-
tire care OF the children for few weeks.

SUCCESS VERSUS FAILURE.

Succeed, and the world will help you,
But fail and you struggle alone;
For all mankind have faults OF kind,
And each has his own to atone.
Get wealth, and friends will surround you,
Grow poor, and then where are they?
Ask not for their aid II your debts are not paid,
For each has his own way to pay.
Make show, then men may know you,
Look shabby. they'll quick turn aside;
But when one is dressed he may pass for the
best D..
Even crime you may hide with pride.
Have comforts, and friends share with you,
Have none, and how can they sharcl
For they have to liy5 and can't always give
To those who not oft have to spare.
Succeed and the loved ones greet you,
But fail, and aggrieved are you met;
Oh win-lust win! then scarce any sin
That they all may not soon forget.
Then wife and daughter mother, son
Have kisses TO give at tho door.
But rarely kind word has ever been heard
For him to the home-door, poor.

it did that fall, and in spite of the i'm

a SHAME TO CIVILIZATION.

Disgraceful Injustice Done to the Working
Women of Massa chusetts-It VIII Not
Always BE Thus.
About one-flfth of all males in Mas
sachusetts average less than 81 per day.
The females working at this low scale
of wages comprise ~. "a per cent of all
the workers. No intelligent reader will
fail to realize what this fact means.
AS the scale of wages rises the number
of females enjoying them grows steadily
less. OF total of Z, PSF workers receiv-
ing $40 week and over only 26S are
females. The figures simply show that
in the employments IN which the very
lowest wages are paid, women consti-
tute over 70 per cent. of the workers,
while in employments whore as high as
$40 week arc paid they constitute
hardly over per cent. In addition to
all this is the humiliating fact that in
the same occupation, standing side by
side with men, the females are paid less
wages for the same work; or, what
amounts to the same thing, woman OF
90 years or upwards is made to work
side by side with boy Of 10 at the same
wages. Women are compelled, then, to
fill most of the cheap places, and paid
less wages for the same work at that.
We have no hesitation in saying
that this is an indefensible injus-
tice, and one so gross as to shame civil
ization. Why do legislators sit passive
| ly under such discrimination of sex in
the matter of work and wages? Simply
because they know that the women car
ry no votes, and that mere sentiment,
however just, can Mother seat nor UNI
seat a politician, But it will not al
ways be thus Boston Globe.

How to Make n Good Husband out OF
Very Ordinary Material.
A good husband, it. has been wisely
remarked, like the hare, must DO caught
before he is cooked. lie can not always
be told at n glance, and sometimes he
must be summered and wintered before
his real character is discovered but it
is safe to say that when caught he
should be found to be composed of the
following ingredients in suitable pro-
portions: Mother wit, good nature, gem
tleness, strength, manliness, purity,
courage. But even when the full meas
ure of some of these necessary qualities
is lacking a very good husband can
often be secured'by persistent use of
the following recipe:

wasted, but they are very few, and a
persistent application of it, morning,
noon and night for two years is war

man and agentleman out of very CON-

Some high authorities on husbandry
have insisted that all that was necessa-
ry to make good husband was ono hun

and that tact, forbcarance, good nature
and oven good cooking were only mani
fcstations of wifely love. However, il
will be evident 10 our readers that this
is, after all, only difference of terms,
1t is necessary to add that this recipe
has been tried for many generations. In
certain families it has boon handed down
from mother to daughter for many years,
and up to date no reliable substitute
has been discovered for making a good
husband. Rule.
