A Cheering Word for the Husband.

A Cheering Word for the Husband.
 One of these days things may work round again to an appreciation of the Present Man as distinguished from the Coming Woman, who makes so large a figure in literature. Take him all in all the Helpful Husband is about the finest character of the day. There has been a certain exhilaration for the woman in stepping outside her home, but for the man, what patience, what subduing of pride, what building up of new ideals! For once the character of the sexes seem to be reversed; the bravery of adventure is the woman's, the watch ing for results the mans.
 Where can one find finer develop ment of chivalry than in men, and they are not few in number, who, against their desires, against their instincts, against their reason, arc letting their wives support them selves in marriage, are even urging them and aiding them to walk in dtec- tions which it pains them to see them walk, because they are farsighted enough or loving and loyal enough to leave even the woman who is dearest to them to work out her own salvation The man who does this knows that he is misunderstood, knows that he is criticised, and his part--the silent part is quite as plucky as many of the most applarded displays of feminine energy and enterprise.

heart, and the transformation will ho downward instead of upward. Instead of crystal it will be a cinder. In tho days of Carthage Christian girl w1s condemned to die for her faith, and 6 boat was bedaubed with tar and pitch and filled with combustibles and set on fire, and the Christian girl wasplaced h the boat, and the wind was of shore and the boat doated away with its precious treasure. No ono can doubt that boat landed at the shore of heaven.
 Sin wants to put you in a fiery boat and shove you of in an opposite drec- tion-off from peace, off from God, od from heaven, everlastingly of; and the port toward which you would sail would be a port of darkness, and the guns that would greet you would be the guns of despair, and the flags that would wave at your arrival would be the black flags of death. O, my broth CT, you must either kill sin or sin will kill you. It is no wild exaggeration when l say that any man or woman that wants to be saved may be saved. Tremendous choice! A thousand peo- pie are choosing this moment between salvation and destruction, between light and darkness, between heaven and hell, between charred ruin and glorious specialization.

The Quaker Garb Has Had Its Day.


 While the faith of the Quakers has un- dergone no radical change since the days of Mary Dyer, the simple manners and customs of the sect are rapidly disap- bearing. Here and there, it is true, one of the "old fashioned" Quakers is to be seen. When Jonathan Chace occupied seat in the senate of the United States his coat was of the orthodox cut. and his correspondents could not please him bet ter than by addressing him as plain Jonathan Chace. A consistent Quaker, too, is Jonathan Chace, for he, with his plainly dressed wife, rather than deprive their coachman and horses of their Sun day rest, will frequently walk two miles and more to meeting and return by the same conveyance.
 But the old time straight cut coats are fast passing away, and even Jonathan Chace has discarded the drab, and his black coats, though of the Quaker cut, are of the very finest piece of broadcloth that the looms can weave. It is with regret that the public part with the quaint costume of the Friends, for when seen upon the street it formed delicious picture. We may see something akin to | it at the Shaker settlements if we take the trouble to visit them; but the cos tune which poor heroic Mary Dyer wore in her last hour has almost passed from the sight of men.-Boston Journal.

Unique Ways of Suicide.

The shocking testimony at the state house which went to show that we are poisoning ourselves to death with our wall paper, our paper boxes and dozen other articles of daily use which contain arsenic, has been talked about a great deal lately, even at 5 o'clock teas, when people generally balance their cups in the air and talk about nothing at all. There is broad sug- gestion for fiction writers in this matter. For instance, the testimony at the state house showed that a lady had been dangerously poisoned by green paper box that she kept on a shelf in her sleeping room. Now if one wants to commit suicide quietly, what better way than to have paper of undoubted- ly arsenic colors pasted upon ones walls, and leave some green paper boxes lying carelessly about one's rooms and wear clothes that are dyed with arsenic2
 Or if any lady wants to murder an other, for instance, let her send her a present of handsome new bonnet in a green paper box which is heavily charged with arsenic and so prepared as to transfer it's deadly elements to the atmosphere of the room at once. Of course the recipient of the bonne ct would keep the box around for several days, and meantime the deadly work would be done. It is rather strange that this method of destruction has not been hit upon before. Murderers and novelists are slow to utilize the resour- Nas of civilization Transcript

Cat Agalnat Fox.

One early morning, during 8 snow storm, was starting for the hills. l noticed the footprints of cat upon the fresh snow. guessed the cat was my own, a strong, black tom. Curious to know how far his peregrinations might have extended, made up my mind to find out, if possible. I had not, how ever, followed the track more than a few hundred yards when came upon what appeared to have been deeper- ate struggle, and which at first sight l took to be the marks of puss and an unfortunate hare or rabbit, but upon closer examination I found the antag onist must have been 8 fox.
 The combat, as long as it lasted, must have been 8 severe one, as it was quite clear from the marks on the snow that one or both of the animals were down several times. I am inclined to believe that Reynard came off second best in the affray, as it could be seen that he retreated back the way he came, whereas puss continued on his wanderings until he entered a thick plantation, where had to give up pur- suit. When got home I found the cat had got home before me, and was apparently none the worse for his morn ing's adventure.-Land and Water.

How Ono Woman Manages.


 She was slight, delicate little wom- an, with a determined, fear nothing look on her youthful face. Her jacket was unfastened, her bang tossed back in a careless manner, and altogether there was a brisk, breezy look of the ad- vanced woman about the slim little body. Eve been a business woman for three years" she said decidedly, land have invariably found men in every way courteous and polite to me. The great mistake the independent woman makes in her relations with men is in letting them see that she is independent Now, when l am with men am the most helpless clinging creature on the footstool, and they ars always lovely to me.
 "Men don't like smart, clever women half so well as gentle, timid creatnres that appeal to their sense of chivalry, and the Nineteenth century man has as much of it as medieval knight if you only know how to find it. Now, when I was first married and my husband asked me if I was afraid to stay alone in the evening, almost laughed, for I really thought nothing at all of going from Staten Island to Yonkers after dinner on business; but managed to keep my face very serious while told him that was perfect coward, that the dreadful shivers ran down my back every time heard a little noise when was alone
 Result: He stays in every evening, and there isn't queen on the globe that has as nice a time as do after the dinner is over. Don't be too smart is my advice to women, or, if you can't help being clever and capable, never let the man you love know you are able to pick your own handkerchief up whsa you drop it if you want to be treated like princess royal ell your life.
