at all, though he is under special OBJ
legations to do a deal of it, very per-
slstently. He has pledged himself in
marriage to make one sweetheart
happy, and he knows perfectly that
the essential condition of every good
woman's happiness is that the essen
tial condition of every good woman's
happiness is that she shall be courted
with a good deal of regularity.
The married man does not mean to
neglect his duty. He cherishes the
wife of his youth with a tenderness
far deeper than any he felt for her in
the salad days of their wooing. But
he is busy, preoccupied, comfortable,
and he feels calm assurance and
satisfaction in her affection, which he
expects her to feel in her turn. He
takes these things for granted in his
mans way, and expects his wife to
take them for granted, too, forgetting
that that is not the woman's way.
The best thing married man can
do is to court his wife, to treat her
with all the attentiveness of courtesy
which he showed her before mar
riage, to consider her in small things
as Ire does in large ones, to minister
in thousand little, scarcely notice
able ways, to her woman nature. So
shall he make her happy, which, il
he be at all a well constituted man,
is what he most wants to do.

The Power of Little Things.
Lamps and Paths.

Lamps and Paths.
The Arabs have a fable that shows
how an evil habit grows and gains on
one till at last 1t destroys him. When
the Arab is travelling across the desert
he pitches little tent for himself, to
keep out the cold-for often the nights
are chilly-and ties his. camel just
outside. And this is the fable they
tell:
zone cold night camel, thus pas
tured by a long tether, thrust his
nose into his masters tent, and said /:
1T is cold; let me put my nose with
in the tent and the indulgent mas
ter consented. Then the camel said:
1T grows colder; let me thrust in my
whole head?' Growing presumptous,
he at length pushed in the whole of
his crooked neck, and finally the en-
tire bulk of his uncouth body. And
when the master, demonstrating,
said, There is not room enough for
me and thee the camel replied: 1T
is verify so; you may go out of the
tent shall remain"
This fable is for us all, young and
old. 1t shows how, if we indulge in
any evil habit, it grows and grows,
and consumes more of our time and
takes up our thoughts, and crowds
out everything good and noble till
there is nothing left but the evil
habit.

To Make a Home Out of a Household

Hospitality and the giving of cere-
monial entertainments are by no
means Synonymous. A dinner party
is no essential element in that easy
and gracious hospitality which is the
highest charm of the the home life.
1.-THE ornaments of a home are the
friends who frequent it, said Emer-
son. The pleasure of social inter,
course Is so largely in the unforeseen
dropping in of a friend on those oc-
casiOns when one does not provide
entertainment, but merely shares the
resources of the hour, whatever they
may chance to be. 1t is not so much
what we offer guest, as the spirit in
which is offered. The dinner "where
love is" however simple it may be-
is proverbially better than stalled
OK served with inward reluctance
For the easy Inequalities of the coun'
try, the five o'clock tea in the city
serves admirably, and the custom is
too near meeting demand of sincere
life to be ever wholly banished by
any caprice of fashion. The best We
can give friend is the sweet intima
cy of home life, the ready welcome
the response of sympathy and inter
est. This is that true hospitality, fol
which mere ceremonial observances
while they have their place and nc
unimportant one in life, yet offer NJ
adequate substitute.

A HOMEMADE LOUNGE.
How to Produce Very Comfortable On,
at Small Expense.

at Small Expense.
There is nothing more comfortable and
desirable as an adjunct to the furniture of
the living-room, the dining-room or the
sleeping-room than lounge A sofa is
quite different piece of furniture. 1t
is show-piece, which only appears
properly on dress parade in the parlor;
but lounge, on which people are in
tended to rest rather than sit up'primly,
is not out of place anywhere. 1t is fash
ionable to add this 'go easy" Turkish
piece of furniture with its soft uphol.
stery and multitudinous down pillows to
the parlor furniture; its broad seat is
such comfortable place to sit on during
social call. A lounge is useful in the
dining-room, where the weary house
keeper in the interim of meals may take
her afternoon siesta 1t is equally val
liable in the bedroom, where it is al
ways found in English houses, and pro-
vides a comfortable resting place for the
afternoon nap without disturbing the
bed. In cases of prolonged sickness,
where it is always desirable to have a
different bed in use during the day and
the night, a lounge, If it is properly
made, with comfortable mattress laid
over springs, offers delightful day bed.
Such a bed is duly appreciated by the
invalid, and being lower smore conven-
lent to lie upon when meals are served.
If a + lounge is made at home,
1t need not be an expensive mat
ter to procure one. First
let the house carpenter make a frame of
ordinary pine boards six inches wide
and about an inch thick. This frame
should be one yard in width by two
yards in length, and should be support
ed at the four corners by turned legs Of
hard wood, with casters raising the
frame from the floor nine inches. On
this frame set Of springs or a wire
woven mattress should be firmly fasten-
ed; such mattress can be purchased at
any dealer in upholstery supplies for
| So so, or less. A mattress of excelsior,
hair or any material must be fitted over
these springs, but not fastened down, as
the mattress must be turned occasional
ly. Over the mattress slip cover of
cretonne or chintz, in any quality good
enough to be washed, must be arranged,
or the lounge may be draped with Bag
dad rug, which will cost from IS to IS,
according to quality. After the lounge
is covered, as many soft cushions OF
down, covered with India silk at so
cents a yard, or chintz at % cents, may
| be arranged rs the owner desires. 1t is
a fancy of the hour to have these pillows
all covered with different materials and
colors. N. Y. Tribune.

Counting Ones Wife.

of tender and deferential considera,

MONEY.

Money borrowed is foe;

Money wasted is friend
Lost beyond redeeming.

Giving nothing for his board,

They Failed to Agree.

The state central executive committee

the committee, but little was done. A
solution Of the lottery question was
watched with grea, interest by not only
the people Of this state. but by every

were offered bv both factions hut they
were not accepted. The greatest differ
rnce that existed between the factions Is
that the Pros had clause in the pro.
position that would pleige persons
voting at the primaries to abide by the
result. The Antis would agree it defeat.
ell to drop and withdraw their opposition
to the amendment, but would not vote
for 1t nor give it their support.
The amendment will be acted upon BY
the nominating convention, or will 20
directly before the people at the general
election on the 18th O! April next.
The committee has called the nomina-
ting convention TO meet in the city Of
Batou Rouge, on the 18th Of December,
but has adopted no rules or fixed dat.
for the holding of primaries or cOnven-
tions. 1t remains with the parish COM
mittees to decide whether they will call
primari or conventions, and the date
on which same will he held. and also to
adopt rules and regu ations for the con.
duct of the primaries or conventions.
