The Love in Marriage.

Don't make mistake, my dear, :"
said a middle-aged lady to a young
friend; don't marry that man simply
because you are in love with him. If
he doesn't care quite as much for you,
you had better break your heart
grieying over what you have not got,
than wear your life out in sorrow be-
cause you are bound to man whose
Indifference is perpetually before your
eyes. The idea of teaching man to
love you is most mistaken one.
There are instances where it has been
done, but it is the most unsatisfactory
thing in the world to wait for.
"a woman is much more likely to
learn to love her husband after mar
riage, than the man to learn to love
the wife, and the reason for this is
evident: The woman in the quiet of
her home has her thoughts constantly
directed towards the husband. The
man in the whfrl of business has a
thousand things to distract his atten-
ton, and she must be Il woman of
more than ordinary grace and attract
iveneSs, who can win tired, often
times harassed and distracted, man
from his business thought to deep
and lasting affection. You may say
that marriage is lottery. So it is,
but there are lotteries and lotteries,
and of all chance games the chance of
winning hayward heart is about
the most hopeless. Especially is this
the case if the woman is herself deep
ly in love. She gauges the mans
feelings by her own and bases her de-
.mand on what she would herself do,
as she fancles, under like circum-
stances. But she reasons from wrong
premises, and, like all calculations
based on error, comes far short Of her
expectations. Marry only the man
who desires your love above all things
else, otherwise it is better to remain
single. New York Ledger.

What the English 10 Not DO.

Anglomania has brought in a lot of
rubbish and rot which has done some
harm and much mischief, but which
is gradually disappearing. The En-
glish gentlemen and ladies do not
shake hands on a level with their
ears, as some of our apes do now, nor
do they speak with a drawing or
,mincing accent. English ladies and
gentlemen do not drive horses with
hands held under their chins; the
women do not drop courtesies to each
other, as charity-girls md our debut
antes do; the men do not drive yell
low buck-boards about Park Row and
Piccadilly; and the girls do not carry
lorgnons, unless actually nearsighted.
If our anglomaniacs wished to initiate
the English in their best phases, they
ought to build substantial and roomy
houses; to employ good servants, who
are servants in fact and not in 1ic-
ton: to seek the best horSetieSh in
the market, and to care for it intelli-
gently; to eat well, at hours which
are reasonable and not only fashiona-
bly,; to live as much cut of doors as
possible, without the affectation of
athleticism: and to behave at the
alters as if the artists on the stage
were paid to be seen and heard rather
than the acknowledgements.

Queer Distinctions Which Men Draw


"People do draw the most ridicu-
lous distinctions sometimes" said the
man from the suburbs, who always
smokes a pipe on the train. "FOr in
stance, if friend asks you for post
age stamp and you give it to him, he
becomes indignant when you demur
to accepting the two cents in pay
ment. He assumes highly virtuOus
air, and insists that he is always care
full in small matters, so you take the
two cents. Yet, offer him a cigar or
ask him to take drink with you and
he exhibits no scruples, but accepts at
once. 1t is entirely possible, too,
that if he borrowed SIS from you he
would forget to return it, but when
it is a question of two cents, he is
punctilious to a degree.
Here is another example of queer
sense of what is right. Men in the
employ of the Government who
use official franked envelopes for pri-
vate correspondence are usually care
full to cross out the printed warning
against misuse of the envelope. They
paste stamp in the corner and mail
the letter with a satisfied feeling of
having overcome temptation and of
having done the right thing. Yet, if
it is wrong to cheat the Government
of two cents, is it not equally improp-
er to cheat itof the fraction of cent,
which the envelope costs? There is a
difference between the two transac-
tions, but it is one of degree only

Old Putty.

For removing old putty which has
become hard from sashes and similar
places, petroleum-oil is recommended.
Three coats of petroleum over old
putty will, it is said, penetrate effect
lively into the pores of the material,
and, dissolving the hard linseed-oil,
restore the putty to it's original soft
ness. In about three hours from the
application of the first coat Of petro-
leum it is possible to cut the putty
with the point of knife with as
much ease as though the sash had
only been glazed day or two pre-

SIG nificant Puppies.

Apropos of dogs. 1t is said that
the late Admiral Porter had the yard
and stables of his house on III street,
Washington, full of them, acquired
in this manner: Whenever a young
naval officer wished to ingratiate
himself with the Admiral, he would
casually remark: ooh, Admiral, [
have a valuable litter of puppies
and it would give me great pleas
ure if you would accept one. !"
trhe Amiral was fully conscious of the
raison d'etre, and whenever basket
appeared with Lieut.. or Ensign So
and-so's compliments and whining,
fiabby specimen of puppydom therein,
he would remark: Here comes an
other application for shore duty"

Aaron's Black Suit.

Parents are sometimes loath to re-
Iinquish their parental authority even
when their sons and daughters are
men and women, and ought to be
learning to think for themselves A
tall, awkward, and painfully diffident
young man of twenty-One or twenty
two years went into clothing store,
accompanied by short, active, and
keen-eyed little woman, whose self
possession was perfect.
Let us see some black suits of some
kind" said she.

Eyes, maam. Is the suit for this
young gentleman"

you want, Aa-on?"
I'D like one of them shiny black
SUITS" meekly replied Aaron.
The mother shook her head.
well, don't know" said she. "I'm
doubtful bout them wearin' we'll, an
[ b'lieve I'd better get you nice cas-
simere."
"All right" said Aaron, resignedly.
The clerk led the way to a counter
piled high with rather cheap black
SUITS and the mother began:
"How do you like this, Aaron?"
Il don't know"
"Well, look at it, boy, and sec
whether you think you'd like it,"
81 guess So"
well, | want you to make up your
mind now, and not 60 to wishin' you'd
got something'else as soon as you git
home"
The amusement of the clerk was
increased when, after carefully exam
lining suit after suit without coming
to decision, the old lady whispered:
"You may show me something little
mite better'n any of these! l wouldn' t
be SO pertickler, but it's his weddin'
suit Pm gittin', an | feel as though
I'd like him to look half decent on
SIGH an occasion. D'you think you'd
be satisfied to stand up in this one,
Aaron?"
"Yes'm."
Then the twain departed smiling,
and the polite clerk went into the
back shop to roar over the incident
with his fellows.

The way he handled the bees de-

and saw the bees circling over the

to shout in a peculiar way, and the

WhatIs4WorsfedY

A wooden yarn is soft and fluffy,
while worsted yarn is hard and firm,
possessing much greater tenstile
strength. In the wooden yarn the
f1bers are tangled and crossed, and
drawing is avoided as much as posi-
BILE in preparing the raw material for
spinning, SO as to leave the natural
curvature of the f1bers undisturbed,
and afford the greatest freedom of
action to the felting quality of the
wool. In worsted yarns the object is
to obliterate the felting quality, and
to secure elongation and parallel ar
rangement of the fibers. In the early
days Of the manufacture the best re-
suits were only attainable in wOrsted
yarns from long-tibered fleece. The
English woods are commonly called
combing woods for this reason, and
it was the possession of this fleece of
an unriyaled quality which made
England the birthplace Of the worsted
manufacture, and has kept it at the
front in this process. One of the re-
suits of improved machinery has been
to remove any distinction between
wOOlens and worsteds, based upon the
difference between the woods employed
in the two processes. Short wool of
MerinO blood can now be combed as
successfully as the longer staple. The
processes of treatment, however, con-
tinue to differ radically. This differ
ence, as already seen, is primarily Gre
ated by the introduction of the comb
ing machine, an instrument unknown
to the wool manufacture proper.

Dead Sea Water as an Antiseotic.

The Daily News Paris correspond
ent gives particulars of an iteresting
communication which has been made
by M. de Chauveau in the name of
the well-known Pasteurian chemist.
M. Lortel, who has long thought of
turning the most accessible part of
the Dead Sea into an Asiatic Run
corn, studying how, with a siphon, to
bring to the top water from the bot
tom, which is heavily charged with
calcium salts and bromide of mag
nesium. Another of his ideas was to
export water from the Dead Sea as an
antiSeptic for use in hospitals, il be-
ing reputed mortal to every kind of
animal life, and necessarily. as he
supposed, to microbes. But a savant
whom he consulted said: "Take care,
there is hardly fluid in nature in
which virulent microbe of some sort
may not find a good SOIL" He there
fore cultivated various kinds of bacilli
in the densest Dead Sea water that
had ever been fetched to his labora-
tory The diphtheria, measles, scar
latina, smallpox and other fell
creatures of the animalcular world
were experimental upon. All died
but two, with which in forty-eight
hours the fluid was alive. The one
shaped like the clapper of a bell and
the other like tack nail with a
round head were the microbes of
tetanus and gangrenc.

THOUGHT WakefulueSS Was FATAL

1t was o'clock in the morning,
and Middlenight and his wife were
sound asleep. There came a pro.
longed, blood-curdling yell from the
servants room at the rear of the flat
that scared them wide awake. The
Swede girl who had lived with them
for six mOnths-ever since she had
been in this country-they considered
a treasure. She was strong, had
never been sick day in her life, and
had never SO much as walked up from
the time She went to bed until day
light. Something had evidently gone
wrong with her now, and to her res
cue flew the Middlenights. They
found her sitting up in bed rocking
back and FORTH apparently in great
agony. She said never word to the
anxious inquiries as to what was the
matter and where she felt sick, but
grOaned and took on until Mr.. Mid
dlenight thought he had better go for
doctor. But little harshneSs on
Mrs. Middlenight's part combined
with considerable cold water in Til
lies countenance brought her to a
speaking condition.

Sad Accident at Millboro.

A very sad accident occurred at Mill
boro on Monday evening last. A Mr.
Nottingham, a commercial traveller,
hired a double team from Mr.. Warren,
proprietor of the Eii!boro Hotel. to
drive to Millboro Springs. Mr.. McClung,
a bricklayer who lives at Milboro depot,
also hired horse and dogcart from Mr.
Warren to drive to Randolph county,
w. Va. Nottingham reached Millboro
Springs between five and six O'Clock
Mr.. McClung, who intended staying
with his brother over night, just few
miles beyond, came up and passed soon
after About this time the team driven
by Mr.. Nottingham, which was standing
at Mr.. Lowman's store at Millboro
Springs, became frightened aud ran
down the road, following Mr. McClung
When the horses were near to him, Mr.
McClung turned and looked back to see
what was following him. AS he looked
back it is supposed the tongue or pole
of the double team struck him full in
the forehead, killing him instantly. A
physician was sent for, but the man had
died Immediately after being struck.
A singular feature of the accident was
that while both vehicles were upset, the
damage done to both did not amount to
more than ten dollars
Mr.. Nottingham, who was in Clifton
Forge Tuesday, says it was the saddest
day of his experience.
