"rhe Ideal Wife" Described.

Whether with view to give precision
to ''the young mans fancy" at this pair
ing season, or merely to keep the gentler
sex informed regarding the demand in
the matrimonial market, our contempo-
rary, The Young Man, has been melting
its readers to define "the ideal wife"
The replies appear to agree that this per-
feet person must strive to exist solely for
her husbands pleasure, profit and con-
venience. One tersely, if a trife un-
dramatically, says: "There should be
a healthy compact between the piano
and the wringing machine, so that the
dignity of labor is not superseded by the
dignity of art, but each contribute to the
domestic felicity" Another, who may
have been dipping into Schopenhauer's
abominable chapter on Women" put
his views into the epigrammatic form:
"One whose life says my husband and
l. and not 4 and my husband" Cardi
nal Wolsey's EGO ct meus Rex" would
have been more appropriate still.
Culling further samples from the epis-
tolary anthology, we find that in the
view of various correspondents the ideal
wife "has skill enough to cook a good
dinner without being wasteful, taste
enough to dress well without being ex-
travagant, tact enough to know when
and how to speak," and that, moreover,
she must be lone whose love prompts
her to do what she can to make home
on earth stepping stone to home in
heaven" One matrimonial monopolist
even goes so far as to say that she must
''prefer the company of her husband to
that of any other man, and let people see
it." We had always thought that ''letting
people see it" in such cases was considered
bad. .manners.-London News.

yictoria,s Personal Servant.

Referring to the reports of the queens
departure, describing how, when her
majesty embarked, she leaned on the
arm of an Indian attendant, while the
Duke of Connaught walked behind, a
London correspondent writes: "Her
majesty, who is faithful in her likes as
she is pronounced in her aversions, has
put the Indian in the place occupied by
the famous John Brown, who for many
years watched over his sovereign's safe
ty with a zeal that was religious in its
utter devotedness. The Indian success
sor to John Brown began to take rank
about the time of the jubilee. He is a
splendid fellow, stalwart but supple,
gifted with the curtly dignity that
comes natural alike to the we'll bred
Hindoo or Mohammedan; he has also
the gentleness of a woman and the rev.
erence of child.
"To him the sovereign is more than
queen of Great Britain. She is also
empress of nearly three hundred millions
of his fellow subjects in India. Anyhow,
his qualities have commended him to
her majesty as suitable personal at
tendant. Hence he now rides at the
back of the queens carriage; he leads
her pony, he is ever by her side ready to
fetch or carry, and, greatest honor of all,
he is permitted to lend his arm to sup
port his royal mistress steps when she is
weary or the way is difficult, or the in
jured knee troublesome.

A POpular Librarian.

The dismissal of Mrs. Mary Morancy
as state librarian of Mississippi, after
fourteen years of faithful and efficient
service, has provoked widespread discus
sion in the south, and petition is in cir
culation asking that she be restored to
office. Mrs. Morancy was the first woman
to hold astate Office in Mississippi. When
she took charge of the library it was
badly catalogued, incomplete and lum-
bered with worthless matter. With a
constantly diminishing appropriation for
the purchase of books Mrs. Morancy
made the Mississippi library the second
in value of its kind in the Union, the
Massachusetts library only outrankingit.
AS a librarian she was an expert. She
knew the contents of every book in her
care, and most of this intimate knowl-
edge came from her constant and care
full revision of the catalogue. Her re-
moval is regretted not only by her
friends, but also by the judges, legisla-
tors, state officials and lawyers, many of
whom depended ON her to hunt up cita-
tions and references needed in their
work.-New York World.

A Girl Tackles a Big Snake.


Last year monster snake was seen
in the neighborhood of Donnell's mill, in
this county, and its length was various
ly estimated by several parties who saw
it at from eight to fifteen feet. An at
tempt was made to kill it, but it went
into thicket on the banks of the creek.
Nothing more was seen of this mon
ster snake until Friday, when Miss Ida
l.. Robinson saw COW, the property of
Mr.. Abner Schoolfeld, down and strug-
Cling, and went to see what was the
matter. Imagine her surprise to see,
coiled around the neck of the COW, an
immense snake some four inches in di-
ameter and at least ten feet in length.
The COW was being choked to death,
and the brave girl took hold of the
snake with both hands, and, being a
strong girl, she with great difficulty got
it loose, or perhaps frightened it until it
uncoiled itself and ran into the thicket
After awhile the COW, with aid from the
lady, got upon its feet and was driven
home. The snake was of brown color,
and showed no signs of striking or Bit
ing, as is common to all our native
snakes, hence it is believed to be an ana
conda, which has made its escape from
some menagerie. Record.

Mrs. Astor Eulogized.

In a sketcHof the late John Jacob AS.
tor, the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, of Trinity
church, said before the Genealogical ard
Biographical society of New York:
New York society is a living entity,
and has an existence of its own. In it,
as in everything else, there is good and
there is evil In our society there is no
crown, no hereditary aristocracy to set
the fashion, but the leadership devolves
upon those to whom the headship is tao
lily conceded.
''Mrs Astor was one of this number,
and so assiduously did she attend to her
duties that it ended in shortening her
life. She knew that she must set good
example to society; that doors must be
closed against dubious women and men
with profigate tastes. She knew the
extravaganza, the low rivalry and the
secret or open sympathy with an age
which tended to corrupt the heart. It
may be said for her that society was
rendered the purer for her loftier ideals.
Dr. Dix said that he had good proof
that Mr.. and Mrs. Astor spent easily
$1,000 year in unostentatious chari-
ties. Mrs. Astor herself used frequently
to visit the midnight mission which she
had established in simple garb as Sister
Augustine, her identity being unknown
to the inmates.

frontispiece a portrait Of Sarah jean

tells us that as Mrs. G. E. COtes, she
now makes her home in Calcutta, India,
where her husband has Government
appointment. No hint is given OF her
future literary work, but among the
things likely to happen we can at least
hope that this ObserVant young lady
will touch with her pen more of her
experiences of life and travel, and
convert them into book as readable
as her earlier ventures. Another
