AMAN's best friend is a wife OF good sense
and good heart, whom he loves and who loves
him. In woman there is at once a subtle del
icacy of fact and 9 plain, soundness of judg-
rarely oombined to an equal degree in man.
woman, il she really is your friend, will have a
sensitive regard for your character, honor, re-
pute. She will seldom counsel you to do
shabby thing, for woman always desires
to be proud of you. At the
same time her constitutionslity makes
friends. She. therefore, seldom counsels You
to do an imprudent thing. Rely, then, on her
wisdom and fsithfllness and scorn the thou ght

should occasion demand, would impe her will

peror Claudius commanded the death OF her

GALL-sToNEs are concretions formed In the
gaIl-oiadder from some of the constituents of
the bile. They vary in size from a millet-seed
to hens egg, and occasionally are much
larger Very small gall-stones may pass out
with the bile. and give sign. Very large ones
never pass into the duct. but sometimes cause
Inflammation and liberation, and escape through
an abscess. When one OF the size say of a
nloert gets into the duct, 1t obstructs the flow
of the bile, which accumulates behind IT, swell

pressure on the stone AS the stone ia
slowly forced along, it produces a diIatfon

cessation OF the pain announces that the stone

may follow, repeating the agonizing process.
The cause OF the formation of gall-stones is moi

it. Most cases occur after the age OF IS, and
women are much more liable TO the ament than
men. PROBABLY high living and sedentary habits
