HOW TO MANAGE HUSBANDS.

The Author of Little Lord FauntFeroy"
Talks on an Interesting Subject.
Glow to manage hnsbands?" said Ms.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, the authoreA'
of little Lord Fauntleroy," echoing the
question. "You mean how to manage
them to make them happy In my judg-
ment, no man or woman, married or sin
gle, can be made happy by others. Others
may afford us opportunities of being hap
Ply, but no one can compel us to be happy
whether we will or not. Our happiness Or
unhappiness must ever depend largely
upon ourselves, let our surroundings and
companions be what they may. You re-
member Mark Tapley in Dickens novel of
Martin Chuzzlewit?' You know his great
object in life was to be Jolly as he called
it, under adverse circumstances, and he
most depressing situation possible in order
to prove that man may be contented and
happy in any condition if he only will.
SIN married life, as in everything else in
this world, there is everything in beginning
right, and the very beginning is when the
young man and the young woman who are
to comprise the future married couple re-
ceive their first training in early child
hood. In most of the cases where marriage
has proved failure close investigation
will show that the husband or wife-per-
haps both-have never received proper
business or domestic training, and each has
relied on the other to make him or her
happy.
This notion in itself is fatal to happi-
ness. The man or woman who sits down
and waits to be made happy by their con-
jugal partner, and becomes angry with the
said partner because he or she does not
manufacture the required amount of hap
piness, will in short time declare mar
riage failure, and perhaps seek relief in
one of those divorces which may now be so
easily obtained without publicity.
"a girl whose natural domestic tastes
have been carefully developed and who has
otherwise been properly trained will have
very little trouble in making home what
it should be, and one of the greatest of all
points in managing husband is to make
home the most attractive of all places to
him.
"a good story is told of two brothers-in-
law, one rich, the other poor meeting after
a long separation.
"'How do you spend your eveningss
asked the poor man.
Oh, at the club was the response.
At the clubp exclaimed the poor man
in tone of deep commiseration. That's
not like home, is it?'
No, indeed it is not, thank hearen If
it were l should never GO
There are countless men like him who
seek the club as 4 relief from home because
their wives do not know how to manage
husbands by making home attractive -

IL some reports are to be believed, Cupid,
under the guise Of LothariO, is responsible
for the card scandal which rendered dis
by Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Wilson, of the
Prince of Wales and his friends. When
ever the heir to the throne of Great Britain
accepts an invitation he is privileged to
name the guests he would like to meet. AS
matter OF form the list of these persons is
submitted to the host and hostess for their
approval. The lady VINO was to have had
the honor of entertain ing the prince during
the st. Leger race week sent back the list
forwarded to her, with the statement that
she objected to receiving one of the women
named therein on grounds of morality
Albert Edward til reupon Cancelled his
engagement and, with his friends, accepted
the more charitable hospitality of the Will
sons.
All the world knows the shocking reason
for the break up IF the party. Baccarat
was played for hi 9Th stakes, and some of
the onlookers declared that they had de-
tected Sir William Gordon-C Cumming en-
gagged in cheating. The specific charge was
that he surreptidously increased his stake
when a favorable card turned up, and di-
minished it Whenever he experienced loss.
The witnesses submitted their accusation
to the prince. The upshot was that Sir
Williamsigneda an undertaking never again
to touch a card and all the members of the
party promised to remain silent regarding
the scandalous affair

A ghost story. of the only asthent1c sort,
comes from England, and is related by
Wilbert Beale in his Light Of Other
Days. A young man, Mr.. A, one night
left London to take . trip into the north
Of England, and had for q companiou in
the railway carriage but enc man. q
stranger.
Mr.. A. addressed some remark to his fell
Low traveller in starting, bat the man took
no notice Of it. and began TO read a news
paper with great diligence. Presently Mr..
A. went to sleep, and on awaking after an
hours nap found the carriage empty. No
station had been passed, and yet his fellow
passenger had vanished.
He was puzzled, and believed himself to
have been the victim Of an apparition or .
dream.
Twelve months passed, and again the
two travellers met, under precisely the same
circumstances. Mr.. A. resolved that this
time the mystery should be solved. Bot
be had had a hard days work, and in spite
of himself fell fast asleep. When he axv oke
it was to find that his companion had mys-
teriously vanished.
He now began to suspect that this second
illusion might forebode some disaster, and
joined his friends with heavy heart. His
sister, noticing his depression, urged him
to accompany her to some neighborhood
merry making. He consented, but on en-
tering the hall started violently

Do You Keep Four Mouth OPEN

Do You Keep Your Mouth Open?
"Have you ever noticed said a physi-
clan, chow many of the people you meet
have the habit of keeping their lips parted
littles Just observe peoples mouths in
your walks about the city, and you will be
surprised at the truth of what am telling
you. Or perhaps you will not be surprised
now that have put you on your guard,
but YOU will find the number is exceeding
~ large. l venture to say that more than
three-quarters of the men and women to
be met in the streets of this city will be-
found to have their mouths habitually
partly open. TO some extent this is due 10
catarrh, which is almost national disease,
and which renders nose breathing in ut
least some cases not an easy thing. Then
think that it is largely the result of had
habits.
The habit Of opening the lips little is
easily acquired, and like all habits not
easily broken. Then again there are some
people who have the habit of hummina to
themselves as they walk, which naturally
tends to throw the mouth open. OF course
the general habit of which am speaking
is an extremely bad one. The nose is the
instrument given us to breathe with, and
only when the air passes through the nose
and is strained there, especially in cold
weather, is it in fit condition to enter the
lungs.
Much more attention should be given to
the formation of the habit of nose breath
ing than is generally the case. This is
fact that ought to be forcibly impressed
on the mind Of every parent and every
teacher After violent exercise it is nat
ural and inevitable 20 breathe through the |
mouth, just as the dog throws open his
Jaws and hangs out his tongue when ex
hausted by some special effort. But the |
dog and all other animals when in normal |!
condition breathe only through the nose,
and men. women and children ought to do |
the same.-New York Tribune.

Bear is a Sioux warrior of the Ogallala
tribe. He went to Europe a year or two
ago with Buffalo Bill's Wild West exhibit
ton. At Vienna one of the visitors to the
show was Mrs. Louisa Anne, whose hus-
band had recently died, and who is the
mother of two bright little children. Mrs.
Ahne fell in love with Standing Bear at
first sight; and perhaps she is not alto
gether to blame, for he is a magnificent
specimen of Indian manhood, being six
feet three inches tall and weighing 10
pounds The widow did not hesitate to
announce that her affections went out to
the big brave. She told him SO through
an interpreter, and when, soon afterward,
Standing Bear met with an accident she
took him to her home and nursed him
back to health. Before the end of his
four weeks illness the warrior capitulated,
and when he started to rejoin the show he
did so as an engaged man. At the close of
the tour lie returned to Vienna, and the |
