What Is the Model Husband Like?

One of tho big New York papers has offered prize of $lo0 to the woman who shall send in the most praiseworthy description of a model husband. It is interesting to note the replies. One woman thinks he is husband who never takes night off; another says her ideal man is one that gives her full control of the purse-strings; a third says she likes husband that goes his way and gives her full permission to go hers; but most unique of all is the letter from dear, sweet. clinginc Vine, who says that her Oak must be ns5lsl o.

FOR TIL, LADIES.

Adveos to Monc Making Giris-Thc Anabic Woman-Connub;ntiti titics
 aud Household Hints.

Hundreds of thousands of girls have great desire to make little money, and 1 don't know whether to call it q laudable one or not. am not a be- liever in girls going out into the world to work unless it is absolutely neces- sary. But when it is then 1 want them to do it in the right way; l want them to think that every particle of work they do is done not only for their own sake. not only for their employers-it must be right and honest in the sight of God. A very clever woman not very long ago wrote an article about working women. and in it she used this beautiful quotation of Ruskin' s: Queens you always should be. Queens to your lovers. to your hus- bands, to your sons queens of n higher mystery to the world beyond" But she did not put the rest of the quota tion, and in that lies the story Of the non-success of many girls. This is it; "But. alasi you arc too often idle and careless queens, grasping at majesty in the least things, while you abdicate in the greatest.
 With only the hope of making money your work will be worth little, and certainly not be worthy of con sideration by noble minds or by the good God who watches over you day and night You girls hurt yourselves, hurt your work, make it of less value and yourselves less respected be- cause you so entirely draw the line at what you will and what you will not do. That which your hands find to do is the duty be- fore you, and tho woman who, em- ployed in counting house, finds it order and, when she has time. to straighten up somebody else's who hasn't the time, is the woman whose work is going to be noted and counted as valuable The woman, who, announcing that she must get work or starve, and who yet is not willing to be nj her desk at eight o'clock in the morning, deserves to starve. The woman who knowing that for a eer- tain number of hours she should in honor give her time to her employer is but n poor worker when ten miu- utes after the hour finds her arriving and five minutes before tho hour to 70 away sees her getting her cloak ready and arranging for her outdoor co . tune. The good workman doesn't drop the peu or tho hammer at the stroke of the hour; he finishes first that which he is doing for IS heart is in his work, and that's the way it must be with you girls if you want to succeed and make even "a little money.

The Origin of Death.

Leckv. the historian. says geology has conclusivelv disproved what was once the universal belief concerning the origin of death. That this fearful calamity appeared in the universe on account of the transgresson of man; that every pang that convulses the frame of any created being, every passion or instinct or necessity that contributes to the infliction of suffer- ing. is but the fruit of the disobedience in paradise, was long believed with un- faltering assurance. and is even now held by many who can not be regard ed as altogether uneducated. And this general proposition became a great archetype. a center around which countless congenital beliefs were formed, a first principle or measure of probability guiding the predispo- sitions of men in all their inquiries. IT oil death and all pain resulted from the sin of Adam, it was natural to give every particular instance of death or pain special signihcation; and if these the greatest of terrestial imperfections were connected with the history of man. it was natural to be- lieve that ail minor evils were no less 80. But geology has now proved de- cisively that profound error turks in these conclusions. It has proved that countless ages before man trod this earth death ragged and reveed amoug its occupants; that it so entered into the original constitution of things that the agony and infrmity i, implies were known as at present when the masto- don and the dinotherium were the rulers of the world To deny this is now im- possible; to admit it is to abandon one of the root doctrines of the past.

stsalinr Women In Tonk, <.

Whi'e in most parts of the world, except Africa, slave catching Is be-
 coming thing the past. the practice ! is still carried on to some extent in | Tonkin in spite of the efforts of the | French to put an end to it. Tho slaves who are wanted there are only women and children. Slave dealers
 find women and children in the forests, away from the villages, drag them | into the mountains and sell them to Chinese merchants, who carry them
 into the western provinces Of China
 and sell them to rich families. Tho
 odious traffic began about twenty-five
 years ago. The practice of exporting
 them as slaves came about in this way
 | In 1865 the Chinese soldiers who
 invaded TonkiD, which was in revolt against China, found themselves en-
 cumbered by prisoners taken from tho
 Tonkinese. They did not know what to do with the prisoners. but at last decided to ship them to China and see
 if they could not sell them. It was at
 this time that emigration agencies
 were recruiting in China thousands of workmen to toll on tho guano islands
 of Chili. The hundreds of male pris-
 oners were easily disposed of to these
 emigration agents, and the women
 aud children who were among the un- l fortunates, were sold to well-to-do l Chinese.
 This opened new trade, although
 Ut first 1t was not easy to sell the women. because wealthy families did not wish to have servants with
 black teeth. the result of the practice of betal nut chewing. So small price, however, was asked for them that all the women were finally sold. To-day these women are in
 much demand in some parts of Vest ern China, As servants they are gen.
 tie, obedieut and lahorious. and are so highly esteemed that they command good price It is very lucrative trade, and hundreds of poor women
 arc every year dragged away from
 their homes by these pitiless dealers
 of human flesh Many Chinese are engaged in the business,
 It is gratifying to hear that the
 French are making good progress in their efforts to stamp out the traffic. 1 They have visited very severe punish
 meut upon some Chinese whom they have caught stealing women.

One Of those surprising accidents that happen but once in the life of any mortal met Miss Venice Omalya. m actress in burlesque company at Carbondale. N. Y, the other evening. Miss Omalya. in jumping about at the side of the stage, struck the register of large hot air hue connected with the furnace in tho basement. The register simply swallowed her, and away she went on her trip to the fur mace. What would have happened had the flne gone straight on forms buta dismal guess. but a turn in the hE pipe was torn apart and Miss omalya suddenly found herself in . millinery store on the floor below.

The Anablc Woman.

If woman could ever learn that it is quite possible to combine atfability with dignity in commonplace daily in- tercourse with their fellow-ereatures lhis would be a far brighter and more agreeable world. Nine-tepths Of the gentlewomen one knows would no more address an unintroduced female than bite off bit of their own tongues. Not once in blue moon do they dare converse with their own servants. the clerk behind the counter. the chance companion of railway journey, or even the lady who has dropped in to call on mutual friend. Awkwardness and timidity, with n sense of alleged well-bred reserve. seal their lips to every form of communication. In their shyness and stupid fear of fur- nishing an opportunity for undue familiarity, they go through life like oysters, as far as those outside their narrow circle are concerned. But thank Heaven. there is woman. and her tribe is increasing, who realizes all of the beautiful opportunities and yights the gift of speech gives her She can afford to talk to her domestics about any and everything. and cement their affectionate respect with every word uttered. Her kindly recogni- ton of tho shon girl and frag- ment of pleasant gossip across the yard stick is wholesome break in the clerk dull day To sit beside u. respectable female for an hours train travel. and not cx- change greetings as two human beings touching in their journey of life. would confound her kindly nature. She is sure of her dignity and strong in its integrity, affords to do what possibly less fine grained nature shrinks to essay. Her friendly, we'll chosen words are as far removed from volubility as her cordial manners ure from gush. Recognizing tho power of speech as the most potent of spells for removing dull, unlovely dlscontent embarrassment and loneliness, she is free with worthy thoughts graciously expressed. IL is noticeable that such women never leave drawing-room. kitchen. shop or coach that every other creature of her kind present does not acknowledge to herself the supreme excellence of courtesy above all other feminine charms.

Why E.Es spell.

In reply to the query. Why do eggs spoile" American Cultivator says:
 "Whenever fertilized egg Is raised to temperature of 92 degs. the matching process begins. and when temperature falls much below this point the process ceases. These con. ditions arc found in the warm days and cool nights of summer During the long. hot day the matching pro- cess is at work; during the short, cool night it ceases. After three or four alternations of this kind the embryo chick dies and the rotting process be- gins. Now it is evident that if the eggs were not fertilixed the matching would not begin. Neither would the rotting. and hence there would be an absence of rotten eggs. Tho rem edy therefore is to prevent fertiliza- ton of the eggs, and this can be done by the destruction of roostors. Every rooster not intended especially for breeding should be killed or sold to tho huckster as soon as big enough to sat. Not over one good rooster should Do kept on any farm, and that one sooped and mated with not to exceed ,en hens. and tho eggs from those lens should be kept or sold expressly or matching. The other heus should 'e kept especially for eggs for market ,r table use, and no rooster should pver DO allowed among them

Economist in it's review of the trade in imported dry goods says:
 "The handkerchief houses report an improvement and a few seem to have nearly as much business as they can handle, and while there is considerable kicking at the advance in prices and out-of-town buyers coming in try to bluff importers, yet, after shopping round the trade, they are observed to come back in frequent instances and make considera- ble purchases.
 What the wholesale merchants buy at advanced prices goes to the household at still greater advance.
