Rich Mems Wives.


was speaking a few days ago to the
wife of one of our rich men, of her social
duties, and she said with sigh that she
wondered that she was not completely
exhausted. ave go to our country place
on Long Island, " she said, in the middle
of May, and for month before that time
look forward to our departure exactly
as my boys look forward to vacation
season. Look at my card receiver; there
are 100 cards, at least, and every one of
those calls l must return within week.
Sometimes 1 start out in my carriage
at 1 o'clock and come back at 6, having
made 1 do not know how many alleged
calls, and l am perfectly exhausted. The
calls are absurdities. 1t is simply How
do you dor What miserable weather !
A brief chat for perhaps three or four
moments, and then leavetaking, with
the experience repeated at the next
place, and so on throughout the after
noon.
"I feel sorry for my husband, who
comes home tired from business, and who
desires to see his family in good spirits,
because am too tired to entertain him
as he should be entertained. Then there
is the trouble with the children. My
oldest daughter, when she came out of
boarding school and made her debut, as
they call it, conceived notion that she
was thereafter to be the head of the
house; but could not permit that, and
made up my mind that my younger
children should get no such silly notions
into their heads.
$50 1 have trained them to remain
young, and tell you it is no easy task
to do that with the examples which they
see about them with their mates. l do
not see, however, any relief from this,
unless we stay in the country all the year
around, and that would be dismal. More
over, among my acquaintance are many
very charming women who feel, as ! do,
the artifciality and perfunctoriness of the
social customs of this city.
"The wife of a wealthy man who tries
to maintain on his behalf any sort of
position in society here has a hard time
of it, assure you, and wonder that so
many stand the strain and keep their
good looks as they do. 1t would be inn
possible not to break down if we had to
undertake any of the cares of housekeep-
ing in addition, and it is my theory that
the first essential for getting through
social season with success is the presence
of a competent housekeeper who will re-
lieve the wife of every bit of responsible

The Rum Habit Ovsreoms.

"I read something the other day, said
q jovial fellow, who is classed among the
"good fellows, "about breaking off the
drinking habit. have been drinking
man for number of years, drinking as
much for the good fellowship Of the
thing as for anything else. And this
kind of drinking, want you to under
stand, is the worst way to drink. My
wife is the most sensible woman in the
world She never tried to get me to give
up the rum habit, but what she did say
to me was this: Now, Frank, you arc
very likely to injure your health If you
keep up this drinking habit. Why don't
you limit yourself to so many drinks a
day OF course if you were to break oil
entirely you would feel disguised with
yourself when you really wanted TO
drink. But allow yourself so many
day, to go ON and use those up as you see
fit OF course my wife is always right
in everything she advises, so 1 tried it.
allowed myself six drinks day. Now
here's the funny part of it. l was so
afraid 1 would exhaust my six and then
find that l wanted one that boarded
them up until late in the day, The re-
suit was that l frequently came home
with some of my drinks to my credit.
'Jen,' 1 said to my wife, your scheme
works beautifully; only find that my
limit is too high. / seldom reach it
now. Well she said, try five then.
NO. answered, I'll try four 1 tried
four and generally had something com
ing to me, so I cut it down to two.
Sometimes 1 do not take a drink at all.
Meanwhile my wife smiles and tells me
that am a sensible man, and begin to
believe that am. "-[New York Tribune.

"Opinions differ, writer goes on to
say, as to the limit of daily mental work
in adults. Or. Balm, Of Aberdeen, says
that in that city there are as hard heads
and as hard workers as in any other part
of Great Britain, but that four hours
steady mental labor are as much as is
good for them, CUvier was usually en-

Walter Scott declared that he worked
for three hours with pleasure, but beyond
about four hours he worked with pain.
Dr. Daily, of Paris, says that man 90

Beyond this limit there will be fatigue,
cerebral an@mia, or congestion, disgust
and impossibility to work. Generally it

A LAKE or mo1rnN F1Rn.
It Is the Crater of the Largest Volcano
in the World.

It Il the Crater OF the Largest Volcano
In the World.
The following remarkable account has
been culled from the writings Of Joaquin
Miller, and has reference to the volcano
of Mauna Loa, in the Sandwich Islands
After visiting the American consul at
Honolulu, we started for the volcano.
and after hard, hot climb, reached the
edge of precipice overhanging lake
of molten fire, 10 miles in circumference
and 100 feet below us. This is called by
the natives Kilianea, or god of fire.
1t is the largest active volcano in the
world, and is 5000 feet above the sea
level. This molten mass went dashing
against the cliffs ON the opposite side
with noise like the deep and mighty
surges of a stormy ocean. Waves of
blood red fiery liquid lava hurled their
pillows on the ironbound headland and
then rushed up the face Of the cliff to
toss their CORY spray high in the air.
This restless, heaving lake of fire boiled
and bubbled, never remaining silent for
a single instant. There is an island on
one side of this lake which the fiery
waves attack increasingly, and with re-
lentless fury, as if bent ON hurting it
from its base.
On the other side there was a large
cavity into which this burning mass
rushed with loud roar, breaking down
in its impetuous, headlong career the gi-
gantic stalactites that overhung the
mouth of this cavern, and flinging up
the liquid material for the formation of
new ones. 1t is terribly grand, magnif-
Gently sublime; but no words can ade-
quately describe such a scene, and no
power but that of Omnipotence pro-
di1ca it
