Husbands Who Resented 8uoh
Liberties on the Part of Their

Liberties on the Part of Their
Spouses.
A well-known duke, who had mar
ried his third wife, was one day sur
prised, as he entered the drawing
room, dressed for some State cere-
monial, by his spouse throwing her
arms about his neck and kissing him.
MADAM" said he, in the chilliest
OF tones, my first wife was a How
ard; my second wife was a Pembroke;
and, madam, neither OF them ever
dared to attempt such q liberty!"
A story is told in the memoirs Of
Adam Black" tine distinguished
publisher OF Edinburgh, about a
minister who resented his wife's Hiss
ing him: not because OF his offended
dignity, but on account OF the day on
which the OSCILLATION was made.
The Rev. John C%olquhoun, of Leith,
was a mar OF extreme solemnity Of
demeanour. On one Sacrament Sun
day morning his wife, being DESTROYS
to have him nicely rugged out for the
occasion, had his coat we'll brushed,
his shirt front white as snow; and his
bands hanging handsomely on his
breast; and when she surveyed her
guide man she was so delighted with
his comely. appearance that she
suddenly took him round the neck
and kissed him. T%hereupon the Rev.
John was so offended by this carnal
proceeding that he debarred his wife
from the sacrament that day.-Tt-

HOT WATER.
Some Good Uses 1t Can Be Put &c

Some Good Uses 1t Can Be Put to.
Hot water is far more Of a medical
property than many believe or know.
Because it is to be had for the making
thousands think it invaluable: on the
theory that what comes easiest is Oft
times least thought OF. The uses OF
hot water are, however, many:
For example, there is nothing that
so promptly cuts short congestion OF
the lungs, sore throat, or rheumatism
as hot water when applied promptly
and thoroughly.
Headaches almost always yield to
the Simultaneous application Of hot
water to the feet and back OF tho
neck.
A towel folded several times, and
dipped in hot water, and quickly
wrung out and applied over the
toothache or neuralgia, will generally
afford prompt relief.
A strip OF flannel, or napkin folded
l%engthwise, and dipped in hot water
and wrung out, and then applied
round the neck of a child that has
the Group, will sometimes bring relief
in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely hall an hour
before bedtime, is helpful in case Of
constipation while it has q most
soothing effect upon the stomach and
bowels.
A goblet of hot water taken just
after rising, before breakfast, has cured
thousands of indigestion, and no
simple remedy is more widely recon-.
mended by physicians to dyspeptics

The couple had been married about

evening when he lay in bed asleep, he
was aroused by q terrible pain in

The woman showed herself entirely
indifferent to his intense sufferings and

FASHIONS IN KISSING.

Cltnging Creatures Who Look Sur
prised, and Naughty Maidens.
1t is quite out OF fashion to struggle
and say: "Oh, now you stop!" when
you are goingto be kissed.
Presumably, if you don't intend to
allow yourself to be kissed, yourman-
ner will not sugggeso the notion.of kiss
ing you to the man.
Few men will try to kiss agirl unless
they think there is a chance for uc-
cess. Besides, struggling muses. your
hair and crumples yourlacesandbreaks
the flowers you wear, and leaves any
number OF traces by which the girls
can tell just what has happened.
cit is much prettier to just pretend
to the last minute that you don't
know what is going to happen. In
you may if you do the struggle" act,
and it is much more satisfactory than
a kiss after a struggle or during a
struggle.
You can be awfully "surprised" and
gasp "Oh!-how-how dare you," and
clasp your hands over your face and
say: "Go away" when he tries to
soothe you, and, 81 hate you," and
all that. 1t is just rs effective as before
the kiss and just az pretty and all
that, and does not your hair so
much.
The proud and naughty method is
very satisfactory if you choose the
right man. You should let the "cold
noon shine full upon your face, and
with your lips "curling scornfully'
you say: "You wouldnot dare" and
look him steadily and %scornfully in
the eye.
You must be sure to choose q man
who will not be scared to death at
this and wish himself home.
The right sort OF man will grab you
instantly. Then you can do the con-
trast act which is very effective. Turn
meek and quiet and "half timid' or
do the tragedy queen business and
leave the gentle act for later.
Now all men don't go in for "tam'
ing girls, and all men don't 60 in for
catchingth coquette, and all don't
fancy teaching and encouraging shy
girls. The trouble with most girls is,
they adopt their method and they
stick to it right through.
You should always change your
method Will: your mal

A Connecticut Young Womans'

young woman, employed at Langdon

to and from her home, which is a few
miles out in the country toward Fair

been accosted by roughs in the out

chased a pistol. One evening
she had just passed beyond the glow
of the electric lights and had entered a
lonely road when a tough-looking
stranger accosted her. Without speak
ing or increasing her speed she kept OF
her way. CHANGING back she sawthat
the fellow was following her on a run.
Before she could get good Roadway ne
had seized her around the waist. In
her struggle she fell from the wheel in
to the road. The man lost his footing
also and fell down an embankment.
Before Miss Stegeman could get on
the bicycle again another tramp ap-
peared and tried to grab her. Quickly
drawing her revolver, she fired over
the mans head. The fellow imme-
dlately started to IL away. Then
the first one reappeared only to beat
q hasty retreat when he saw the re-
volver. Thegirl fired two more shots
to give the fellows a good frightening,

CASH.
A New Trick for Adding Pleasure to
the Silver Wedding Adversary.

Ayoung man OF fashion who got
married not long ago did a unique
thing, says a Buffalo paper.
A short time before the wedding he
bought Il new check book, and had
Autographed cross the face OF each
check his own name and his brides
name in small letters, and under them
the word married" in bold charact-
ers followed by the day and date.
The young man has used this check
book solely for the payment OF his
wedding eXpenses-his new clothes,
his gifts to the bride and wedding
party, the ante-nuptial suppers,
luncheon and river parties, the
parsons p%erquislte, and all the bills
incurred during the honeymoon, be
sides getting the checks cashed for his
pocket money.
At the end of four weeks from the
wedding day he means to stop using
these checks, collect all the vouchers,
tie up all together; mark the parcel

A Plant Out in California That Pr.

A Plant Out in California That Pro-
duces Hard Boiled Eggs.
Among the many curious things in
the plant world, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, such as flowers that
eat flies, the Holy Ghost plant, that
bears a white dove in it's petals, and
others equally interesting, there is
none more curious than the solanum
gatratrum, q recent addition to Gold
en- Gate park conservatory.
This plant bears hard-boiled eggsfor
fruit. At least, the fruit resembles r.
hard-boiled egg, with the shell taken
off, as nearly as a truly egg can.
There L three eggs on the park
plant-one as large as a pigeons egg,
anotherthe size of a turkey'sproduct,
and the third is about 5h inches long
by 2A wide. In color they are identi-
cal to the BLUSH white of the cooked
article of hen production. The lay
ing plant was the great object of at
traction in the conservatory and
groups of people stood be-
fore it, wondering what it was
and whether the fruit was good to
eat.
The blossom is small, of q rich pur-
pie hue, and when the flower drops off
a little white egg can be seen. This
grows to about the size of it's cousin,
the pear-shaped egg plant of COM
merce. But the white variety pre-
serves the perfect egg-shape in al
stages of it's development.
1t thrives in the open air wherever
the purple plant grows, and is cult
waited in the same way. Another va
riety OF the same family bears % gol-
den yellow fruit, but the white variety
is the only nj in which the fruit is OF
the ovoid form.
When pressed between the fingers
the white fruit is foundto possess the
same soft, elastic feeling as a hard
boiled egg. The interior is filled with
cells and small seeds, like the purple
plant OF the tomato.
Aside from it's utility as an article
OF food it is priced for it's rarity and
beauty. The '"lant stands two feet
high, and has broad, soft, oval leaves
OF dark green.

A Sacoharlne Jag Produced in Ste

The stevedores unloading sugar YES
sells at pier 80, South wharves, have

they call "sugar drunks," says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t is a curious
fact that the gasses arising from sugar

of the stevedores working in the hold
Of the vessel were acting in a strange
manner, as though under the influence
