Hint. for tho Married.

The husband and wife should ,tudy each othcr's weak points, for the same reason that skaters look out for air holes in the ice, in ordef to keep clear of them. Unfortunately,
 .owever, they often use their knowl-
 dge of such tender spots for differ mt purpose; sparing TO pains to give them a rub on every possible oc- cas'on.
 Hence domestic difficulties innu- merable. Women have immense power over men, and they know 1t; but, alas! they do not always exer-
 c'se their influence wisely. The wife ard mother should be the primary orb of the domestic system, the cen- ter of attraction to all the members of the family group; for when wives arc "repellant bodies, away go hus- b snds and fathers and sons, flying of to seek elsewhere the peace and pleasure denied them at home. Men should remember that many of our highest privileges are founded on compromises and concessions tt is % in the world political. and the policy that makes a nation pros

FISHERS EscAPADEs.

Adventures of the Man who Got Up the Little Rock Pocket Directory.
 Yesterday morning Miss Julia His serich was arrested in the house of Mrs. Fisher, 38l Main street, over Fortunes drug store, on charge of having given birth to an ilIegitimate child, says The Memphis Commercial of the 3rd inst. She admitted under oath that she had travelled around the country with R. D. Fisher, late advertising solicitor of this city, be- ing well aware that Fisher had a lawful wife living in Memphis. Julia Hisserich informed her parents, who reside at TO Orleans street, when she left with Fisher that she was engaged as travelling companion to rich invalid lady --the slady" being K. D. Fisher. She went "down the race line" with Fisher iu 1890 from here to Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago, St. Paul, then returned to Memphis. When about to become mother Fisher sent her to Little Rock, where she was delivered of bouncing baby boy early in April of this year, the child being born at the house of Mrs. Dankins, on Main street, between Markham and Second, Little Rock.
 When R. D. Fisher went to Little Rock to collect bills due for adver- Using in pocket directory gotten up there, he found the atmosphere very sultry for himself. The physi- clan who attended the bogus Mrs. Fisher during her confinement st- tached her clothing and R. D. Fish er's effects for debt. Fisher, being made aware that warrants had been sworn out charging him with open and notorious lewdness with the woman he had represented to be his wife, had Julia Hisserich and her H. legitimate child emuggIed over to Argenta in closed carriage, whence sbe took the train for Memphis, and proceeded to the housa of R. D. Fishers mother, 38l Main street, the mother being well aware that her son had . lawful wife, to whom he had been welded nine years, residing here.
 The woman Hisserich and her child were welcomed with open arms by Fishers mother, where she re- sided up to the time of her arrest, and where she still remains.
 A warrant charging R. D. Fisher X ith bastardy and another putting him under bonds to keep tho peace bad been sworn out by Fishers law fui wife, but the officer failed to To- cate him.
 Julia Hisserich swore point blank yesterday that another man was the child's father, while the fact is we'll established that she has been Fishers constant companion since March, 1890. She had previously stated that she would swear to anything to save her lover, R. D Fisher.

"Sir," said lean and hungry. looking person who had by some means passed all the obstacles to ad- mission to the office of the manager of one of the great press associations, ''I want to present you with con- fidence."
 The manager looked at him curi- ously.

smile With Your Eyes.

There is one big ''don'tn which nine-ten,hs of womankind might with advantage hang up over their dressing tables, and it is this:
 Don't smile perpetually." Is there anything more wearisome than the person who ceaselessly expands and contracts the lips over the teeth, without mirth or meaning, for that is what the continuous smile eventu- ally becomes. Let any woman stand before a mirror and attempt to produce an animated smile of welcome. She will be surprised at the witless grimace that will respond. That is what smiling is with no soul behind it. Learn to smile with the eye and keep the moutH and facial lines in repose. We speak of the pleasing gravity of the Orientals. This is the secret of it-a kindly light in the eye with quiet expres. sion of the face. There is no copy right upon it. Let her and him who will initiate it.-New York Times.

George Moore, the phiIanihropit London merchant, was complete failure az clerk iu wholesale house, but nature fitted hlm for g commercial traveller, and when his employer sent him out on 1.-the road be showed such genius in te- curing customers that his employer wrote, Fl am proud of you.

 "All right, sir, answered George, 1T scarcely expected an order, but I called upon you for reference.
 sCertainly, sir, by all means" answered the mercer, feeling little complimented.
 In the course of the conversation George took out his snuff box, and, taking pinch, returned it to his pocket. After 6 short interval he took it out again, saying as he took another pinch, ''I suppose you are not guilty of this bad habii?"
 sSometimes,' answered the mer- cer. George handed him the box.

 These anecdotes are instructive as well as amusing. They illustrate the tact and good humor which convert rebuffing store-keeper into a genial customer.
