Young men now days frequently
give as an excuse for not marrying
that girls are too extravagant 20 make
good wives. There is a measure of
truth in the accusation, but the blame
should not be thrown wholly upon the
girls. The fault often lies with the
parents. A fond father hates TO deny
his daughter anything, and permits
her to buy thousand needless trifles.
He does not realize that in fostering
her self-indulgent impulses he may be
laying up for her a store of future un-
happiness. Some years ago one such
father became temporarily embarrass-
ed in business, and was obliged to
change his style of living. His chief
regret was for his two daintily bred
daughters, but, like a sensible man, he
appealed to their magnanimity. How
nobly they rose to the occasionl How
they We'd with each other in devising
ways to reduce expenses! We believe
that in many girls there is a latent
herOism which parents and others fail
to recognize. Let young men treat
these girls as if they believed them
to be capable of self-sacrifice and all
noble qualities, and exemplify the
same in their own lives, and we shall
hear less about the lack of material
for good wives.

Impartial Criticism.

Opinions differ widely among artists
as to the merits of the Royal Academy
exhibition. Perhaps the following lit
tie scene, which took place at a well
known club, may account for this va
riety of view. Enter A.-"Have you

FeIts Among the Ancients.

The Tartars and kindred peoples who
occupy the middle and northern re-
gions of Asia, and whose manners and
customs have remained unchanged
from the most remote antiquity, en-
ploy the felted wool in a variety of
functions, only less important than the
supplying of foods. Both their cloth
ing and their habitations have con-
sisted of felt since knowledge of them
first went upon record in the Fourth
century The process of felting was
generally known among ancient ma
tions
The Greeks gave to it the name
piledis, from pileo, to compress; liter
ally, a compression or thickening of
the wool The ancients employed felt
for a great variety of uses, just as we
do, the chief being to make coverings
for the head, the most common form
among the Greeks and Romans being
the skull CAPS. N. d. North in Pop

A HOUSEKEEPER'sE XPERIENCE.-"My house
cleaning looked like a mountain, but l had
used Pearline for some things, and in my des-
peration / resolved to experiment still fur
ther with it. My first step was TO wash the
winter blankets and the blanket wrappers of
the family. i took one-half small package
of Pearline and poured a pailful of boiling
water on it, stirring it meanwhile. l could
not wait for every particle to dissolve, so
strained it through an old towel into tub
two-thirds full of lcarm water, put my blank
cts into this and let them remain about twenty
minutes or half an hour, stirring them about
every few moments. l then lifted them out
into another tub of clear water of the same
temperature tho first, and repeated the
stirring process for a few moments. Lastly,
lifted them into a third tub of water of the
same temperature the first, and repeated
the stirring process for few moments.
Lastly lifted them into third tub Of water
still of the same temperature with a little
blueing added; and folding them nicely, /
loosened the tension the wringer and
wrung them lightly through it, taking them
one at time soon as finished to the line
and hanging evenly across the middle, being
careful not to stretch them below, that they
might be even. The wrappers were treated in
the same way, and hung over the line by the
back seam, and when nearly dry each front
edge pinned evenly to a line. All dried TO

cred up every washable thing, empty frkins
and crooks, preserve jars that had missed a
proper cleaning, empty pals, etc, and all
emerged sweet and shining from a hot Pear
line bath. Shelves were cleaned with IT, and
it took the place of strength for removing
dirt. Ascending to the chambers, when the
carpets were up pearline left my floors and
paint clean and sweet without hard scrub
bling, slop, or sand.
"All the washable draperies, including the
lace ones of the parlor, were treated the
same as the blankets, with the exception Of a
little boiled starch added to the blueing water.
The lace draperies were hung over the line, to
which the lace was fastened
"In a word: wherever strength was needed
l let Pearline do the work, and you would
hardly believe what it could accomplish, and
what a saving of labor, time and patience it
proved" Boston WATCHMAN.

The TRIBUNE has several times called
attention to the need OF q police signal
system and patrol wagon in this city.
This need is often illustrated, and it was
a-ain last night, and very forcibly, TOO.
\ young married woman was somewhat
under the influence of liquor and was
dragged down Main street by two police
men. At times the woman would be q
little obstinate and the officers had NJ
other alternative than to pull her along
az best they could.

and the woman was subjected to the gaze
Of tale bearers and scandalizers. Had
there been patrol wagon scarcely any
one wodld have known OF the unfortunate
woman's arrest.

cluded groceries, hardware and agricult-
ural implements. The prices at which
the supplies were obtained were gener-
ally little lower than those for the past
fiscal year. Bell visited some Indian
schools in Arizona and Mexico, includ-
ing those conducted by the government
and those known as the contract schools,
managed by the various religious denom-
nations. Bell speaks very highly of the
the general condition of the government
schools both in intellectual and indus
trial features. He says intellectually
they are in advance of the contract
schools, and with respect to industrial
training he gives no comparison between
the two classes.

contest, prosecution would at once be
undertaken, whether the fight was with
or without gloves.
